BUS TRIED n COURT HOUSE m TEACHERS INSTITUTE CLOSES AFTER VERY WEATHER; LIST OF EXHIBITS LARGE Rainy Weather Ends Just in Time Special Train From Uma- tilla County Due To Arrive This Morning. Yesterday was the first day of the I Second Annual Morrow County Fair. The curtain was drawn at 10 o'clock when music by the band officially opened the big three days program. A heavy fog hung low on the horizon early in the morning but old Sol got busy and his lusty rays soon cleared the atmosphere leaving the air pure and clean after the three days' rain. The rain left the roads in fine shape and the sun is rapidly drying the mud. All the attractions advertised by the fair management were on the ground in ample time and the program was carried out in full as anticipated by the officials. The special train of Umatilla Coun ty business men from Pendleton and way stations is due in Heppner this morning. They will stay all day and leave for home late tonight. The exhibits are more complete this year than last and the fair as a whole completely outclasses last year's ef fort. A detail account of the fair will be published in our next issue. cold.

The case appeared before the County Court Officials. For those who do not understand how this court works, word is necessary. The procedure is much different from the ordinary court. When n man is hrought up be fore this court, the idea is to find what he is guilty of. Every man is guilty of something, the thing to do is to find what, he is guilty of. When this is ascertained, the punishment is decided and inflicted then and there. There are no cases of delayed justice. This case has attracted much com- a brief statement of the o TU An,.. u , , 6 , ,, ' facts is necessary.

Rev. Crooks is the new Methodist County Officials. Tl.ls jury asks the prisoner questions and decides his fate without leaving the box. Procedure is very simple. To the usual ques tions such as are asked Al answered promptly. When he was asked if he had ever appeared at the Court House looking for Mr. Notson with a shot gun in his possession, Al had to con fess that he did. The crowd thought that Al was scheduled for a six month's stay at the"Summer Colony." This was the last question asked and the jury got their heads together and their faces were drawn and firm. Only one man was noted to appear excited. He had a worried look on his face all during the trial. He seemed to be struggling with himself. This was S. E. Notson. Just as they were ready to pronounce the sentence, PRO TABLE SESSION SI WEDNESDAY Lecture By State Health Otticer A Plea For More Sanitary Conditions For Pupils in Schoolroom, minister and succeeds Rev.

The jury consisted of the GRAND MASTER LOSS OF LIFE Last Tuesday afternoon when Gran Weston who works for l',a!ph Ee.nge, was returning from Lexington with his six-mule team wheat wagon, he met a pair of goats harnessed to a wagon in the road near Jos. Eskel- son's place. The mules got excited and Grant got down and quieted them. In some manner he got entangled in the harness and the mules starting up, threw him to the ground and the hind wheels of the first wagon and both wheels of the tralier passed over his body in the region of his hips. He was badly bruised and one rib was broken. He was brought to town and Dr. Conder patched him up and SBid that no other complications were evi dent. He was on the streets yester day with crutches but is will be a week at least before he can do much. That he was not more seriously injured is very lucky for Grant. Owing to the fair and the weather conditions, the lone Items are scarce until next week. This section has had its share of fall rains this week. The dance given in the rink last Tuesday night was a great success. A fair sized crowd was present and everyone enjoyed themselves. The dancers were entertained between the acts by the famous Fiddler quartet. The dance lasted until 2 o'clock. Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Harbke returned to their home in Portland Wednesday. Paul Reitman and John Cochran transacted business at the county Seat Tuesday night. Frank Engelman returned home on Sunday's train. He was in Portland several days.

His talk lasted over an hour and his audience listened in rapt at tention. He gave his audience an in sight into the great work being done by the Oddfellows of Oregon through the Trustees of their home in Port land. He cited several instances wherein medical attention had been given the poor and afflicted and told of the earnestness and sincere work being done by the Trustees of the home. He admonished the members of the lodge to be careful in the use of the blackball. "Admit into the lodge only such men and such women as you would be glad to have enter your home and hold social intercourse with the members of the family circle," he said.

When uir is needed, open windows at the bottom and draw the top down and if the wind is blowing too hurd, place boards under the bottom of the win dows. As to seats, he said that the seats in the Heppner High School were the best seats he had ever seen. Seats should be individual, so that no pupil could transmit his nervousness to those near him. Floors should be treated with the ordinary floor finishes of good quality The floor above all parts of the school should be kept clean. Better janitor service should be provided. Sweep ing compounds should be used In sweeping. These keep down dust and dust is the greatest foe to health that we know anything about. Every school house should have a water supply of its own and this should be free from contamination uf any sort. Not a surface well but a deep well. Every teacher should be equipped with a thermometer so that she could take the temperature of every pupil who shows any signs of Irritation. Teeth should be inspected regularly for many cases of disease and sickness trail back unmistakably to poor teeth.
