Provisions of the Measure Passed by the House. Washington, Feb 9 — The railroad rate bill is intended and does comply specifically with the recommendations of President Roosevelt on the rate question. It gives the Interstate Commerce commission authority, when a rate has been complained of as "unreasonable" by a sh pper, to investigate that rate, state whether or not it is unreasonable, and if found to be unreasonable, to name a rate, which is to be just and reasonable, and fairly remunerative, and which is to be the maximum rate to be charged. This rate, so fixed, is to go into effect 30 days after it is announced by the commission, subject, during that time, to be set aside or suspended by the commission or by the courts. After it has gone into effect, it is to remain the rate for three years. During this time, according to the opinion that has been expressed by those who have participated in the debate, the rate may also be reviewed by the courts, and, if found to be in conflict either with the constitution by being confiscatory, it can be set aside by the courts. Another important feature is the definition of the words "railroad" and "transportation," in a manner to include all auxiliary instrumentialities. This power to name a reasonable rate and the inclusion of the auxiliaries within the jurisdiction of the commission, are said to be the new features. All other provisions are modifications of existing law. They include publicity of railroad methods, which is 'o be aided by prescribing a system of bookkeeping, and enlarging the commission to seven members and increasing salaries of members to $100, 000 a year. CHINESE GOOD SOLDIERS. Minister Discusses Agitation and Preparations for War. Berlin, Feb. 9. — General Tchang Tcheng, the Chinese minister to Germany, in the course of an interview with the Tageblatt's correspondent on the disquieting rumors from China, said that China needed reform in her head and limbs. Europe, he said, had been surprised that Japan had become greater than China, whose soldiers, and especially those in the northern part of the empire, compare physically with the Prussian guards. Money for army and navy expenses, he said, should not be considered, as the population of over 400,000,000 could casually contribute a milliard where vital interests were touched. China, the minister continued, strongly wishes for commercial dealings with foreign countries, but prefer those without Chinese colonies. The missionaries, he added, cause hatred of foreigners by their tactless proselytizing and the fighting between Protestants and Catholics. The minister was asked if the navy and army reinforcements which the United States is sending to the Philippines in the expectation of difficulties with China might arouse the Chinese dragon. He replied: "If the American government sends reinforcements, who can say it fears difficulties with China? It is all nonseuse. I believe the armaments are prepared against somebody else; I cannot express myself more definitely." APPIAN WAY OF AMERICA Perfect Road Will Be Built Straight Across Ohio. Cleveland, Feb. 9. — Within a year work will be begun by the National Good Roads association on a great highway extending clear across the state of Ohio, from the Pennsylvania to the Indiana line, that will be one of the finest in the world, and, like the Appian Way, will be built to last for all time to come. This is the information given out today by Colonel W. H. Moore, president of the association. The road, which will be the first to be built across a state under the authority of an organization since the old Federal roads, will cost $1,500,000. Of this amount, Colonel Moore says $750,000 has already been put up by certain interests that he will not now reveal, and the remainder will be secured from the counties through which it will pass. Puts Down Siberian Revolt St. Petersburg, Feb. 9.—General Linievitch, commander of the Manchurian armies, telegraphed to the emperor yesterday as follows: "General Rennenkampff entered Chita, TransBaikalia, February 5, without bloodshed. The inhalants of the town have been disarmed and work has been resumed. Two hundred of the revolutionists have been arrested, but a number of the leaders fled. General Helsjeonikoff, the military governor of Chita, has been relieved of his pest for inaction." Will Act for Gastro in France. Washington, Feb. 9. —The Venezuelan government has requested the government of the United States to take charge of its consulate in France. Secretary Root has decided to comply with the request and will give the necessary instructions to the American ambassador in Paris. IN THE NATIONAL HALLS OF CONGRESS Thursday. February 8. Washington, Feb. 8. — Just enough morning business was allowed in the house preceding the vote on the Hepburn railroad rate bill today to permit delayed members to reach their seats before the rollcall ordered the night before began. Three hundred and forty-six members voted for the bill. Seven, all Republicans, voted against it. Applause greeted the announcement of the result by the speaker to the house, which had given its undivided attention to the question of government rate-making for seven days. Those voting against the bill were: Littlefield, of Maine; McCall and Weeks, of Massachusetts; Perkins, Southwick and Vreeland, of New York; and Sibley, of Pennsylvania. Sullivan, of Massachusetts, voted "present," and was not paired. There were 28 members paired, but these pairs were generally political ones. None of them was made upon the bill, and consequently did not indicate oppositin. Washingtonto, Feb. 8—There was a general expectation that today would witness a revival of yesterday's exciting occurrences in the senate over Patterson's caucus resolutions, but it was not realized and the large crowd attracted to the galleries was compelled to leave in disappointment when at 3 p. m. the senate went into executive session, after a day devoted largely to ordinary bills on the calendar. Wednesday. February 7. Washington, Feb. 7.—By continuing its session practically to 7 o'clock the house concluded all preliminary steps to the passage of the railroad rate bill, ordered a roll call on the measure and put off the final action until tomorrow. The time for amendment came at 4 o'clock, and for three hours following one amendment after another came up, was read, debated in some instances and went down to defeat. So fierce was the struggle to amend that often when a paragraph of the bill was concluded in the reading, a dozen members waved their amendments and shouted for recognition. Not one of these was adopted. They contained all manner of propositions, such as regulating preferentials, the long and short haul, free passes, court procedure, whole rate bills and parts of bills, but all "went by the board." Washington, Feb. 7.—Today for the first time in many years the senate was made the scene of an effort to administer party discipline to a member of that body, and the occurrence was one of so many dramatic details that the many witnesses will not soon forget it. Patterson was the subject of the effort, and Bailey, to whom, in the absence of Gorman, the Democratic leadership is conceded, was the instrument of his party in the incident. Tuesday, February 6. Washington, Feb. 6. — The senate did not have an opportunity today to hear the discussion of Patterson's resolution on the action of the Democratic caucus, which was partially promised, but gave the entire day to a review of the prerogatives of the senate in the matter of framing treaties. The question was raised by Bacon in a speech on his resolution requesting information concerning the Alzeiras conference. Lodge gave notice of a speech Monday on the railroad rate bill. Washington, Feb. 6. — Having fixed the end of the general debate on the rate bill at 4:30 o'clock tomorrow, the recognition of the chair was passed around at a lively rate in the house today. Seventeen speeches were made, all of them for the measure. The railroads came in for an unusual amount of criticism. Monday. February 5. Washington, Feb 5. — The senate was treated to a sensation today by Patterson, Dem., Colo., who followed up his retirement of last Sturday from the Democratic caucus by introducing a resolution in effect declaring the action of the caucus to have been contrary to the constitution of the United States. Gallinger succeeded during the day in securing the fixing of a date for voting on the shipping bill, the hour named being Wednesday at 3 p. m. Several bills were passed during the day and Teller made a speech in opposition to the shipping bill. Foraker announced that he had no intention of attempting to delay action Wallace Before Committee Washington, Feb. 6 — John F. Wallace was before the senate inter-oceanic canal committee today and made a statement regarding the severance of his relations with the Canal commission. In it he spoke of the violent attack of Secretary Taft and Mr Cromwell, the only basis of which was, he said, a difference of opinion between himself and Taft and Cromwell as to his right to decide when he thought the welfare of the enterprise and his own justified his resignation. He was liable to he dismissive at any time. NO. 42. on the statehood bill, which he opposed. Washington, Feb. 5. — Considerable fault was found with the railroad rate bill in the house today, considering the fact that it is a measure of both parties. Littlefield, of Maine, and Grosvenor, of Ohio, both spoke against the bill. Ten other speeches were made, all of them by members who will vote for the bill, but some of whom would like an opportunity to amend it. Gaines, of Tennessee, has an anti-pass amendment which he will bring forward at the proper time. At the conclusion of the day Hepburn, in charge of the measure, said it looked now as though debate would conclude at 3 o'clock Wednesday. The reading of the bill will begin at once, and he thinks it can be concluded, all proposed amendments disposed of and the bill passed that day before adjournment. Saturday, February 3 Washington, Feb. 3. — Various phases of the railroad rate question were threshed over in the house today in the course of nine speeches which occupied six and a half hours. This concludes the fifth day of the discussion, but the end is not yet. Many members on both sides of the house desire to record their views and general debate will be allowed to continue. Representative Randall today offered a bill that he will offer as an amendment. It makes stringent provisions against the giving or accepting of railway passes or franks by senators, congressmen and judges. He proposes a fine of not less than $1,000, or imprisonment for not less than one year, or both, and disqualification from ever again holding public office. The agent or official of the company giving the pass or frank, upon conviction, is to be fined not less than $100, nor more than $1,000, or imprisoned for not less than six months nor more than one year, or both. Friday. February 2. Washington, Feb. 2.—Oratory on the railroad rate bill held the attention of the house for six hours today. The speeches of Burton, Ohio, McCall, Mass., and Ressell, Tex., were features, while Thomas, N. C., Burke, S. D., and Goulden, N. Y., took up particular and specific topics. Before proceeding to consideration of the rate bill the house passed a bill extending the public land laws to a tract of land ten miles square in Wyoming ceded to the government in 1897 by the Shoshone and Arapahoe Indians. Washington, Feb. 2.—There was for a moment today a prospect that the statehood bill would receive its first formal reading in that body, always the initial step in the consideration of any measure reported from a committee. The senate took up the calendar immediately after disposing of the routine business and, as the statehood bill occupied the first place, the secretary had begun to read it before any of its opponents realized the situation. He had covered but a few pages when Teller put a stop to the proceedings for the time. The shipping bill was made the basis of a running debate between Patterson in opposition and Gallinger and Perkins in support. At the conclusion of this debate a bill authorizing the treasury to investigate certain Missouri state war claims was passed. New Naturalization Bill. Washington, Feb. 6. - The house committee on immigration and naturalization practically agreed today on the Howell naturalization bill in a slightly amended form. As the bill stands now, it requires applicants to file their application for final citizenship papers 90 days before the hearing; provides that the court order shall not issue until 30 days after the hearing and allows appeals from court orders. Germany Hopes for Agreement Berlin, Feb. 7.—It was reported in commercial circles today that a tariff arrangement between Germany and the United States, to last one year, had been agreed upon, but inquiry at the American embassy and at the foreign office established the falsity of the report. The foreign office, however, apparently is more hopeful now. The officials expect that some sort of an agreement will be reached before the end of the month. Call on Venezuela to Pay. Washington, Feb. 5.—W. J. Calhoun, the president's special commissioner in the asphalt controversy with Venezuela, has arrived in Washington, and today called at the State department to consult with Secretary Root in relation to the presentation of facts in his official report. The decision of the president again to demand of the Venezuelan government a settlement of at least a part of the asphalt company's claims, it is said, marks the refusal of the State department to accept the Venezuelan contention.

Woolson of Columbia University, to loads of 120,000 to 150,000 pounds. The pieces were much compressed, the diameter being correspondingly increased, but there was no disintegration or powdering. Among the most singular archaeological remains found in Great Britain are the ancient "dew ponds," the construction of which is ascribed to people of the Neolithic age. The purpose of these ponds was to furnish drinking water for cattle. An exposed position, where springs were absent, was selected, and a broad, hollowed surface was formed, and covered over with straw, or some other non-conducting material. Above was spread a thick layer of clay strewn with stones. During the night the cold surface of the clay caused an abundance of moisture to condense from the lower layers of the air. Some of these ancient dew ponds are still in working order. Success has at last attended the efforts, which were begun as early as 1840, to cultivate the pe-tsai, or Chinese cabbage, in France. This vegetable is very nourishing, and forms a most important article of diet in China, but the European climate seems inimical to it. At last, however, in the environs of Paris, it has been raised for the market, but the cultivation is still so costly a process that the pe-tsai remains a luxury suitable only for the gormand who does not mind expense when he wishes to enjoy a novelty of the table. It is anticipated, however, that this favorite product of Chinese gardens will eventually become widely known in Europe. The efficacy of bomb-firing in breaking up hail storms has been questioned. M. Vidal, the originator of the plan, claims new evidence of its value from a recent severe storm that rapidly swept down from the Bernese Alps through the Rhone valley and over the north end of Lake Leman as far as the Lake of Neuchatel. The entire district was badly damaged by the hail except two small villages from which bombs were thrown. It is pointed out that places above 2,200 feet in altitude escape damage, and the low elevation of the storm clouds insures their breaking up by bombs and rockets, which can be easily made to explode at heights of 1,200 to 1,500 feet. It is urged that stations for bomb firing be established along the usual routes of the storms, the great damage done quite justifying the expense. The great Simplon tunnel having been finished, attention returns to the audacious enterprise of building a tunnel to the summit of the Jungfrau. This tunnel is steadily progressing, although two or three years may yet elapse before it is completed. Already, however, it has become a scenic wonder. Last July the first electric train was run to the fourth station in the tunnel, that of the Eismeer, at an elevation of 10,368 feet. The height of the Jungfrau is 13,668 feet. Two more stations are to be constructed before the summit is reached. At each station an opening, like a gigantic window, is made in the mountain side; and from these lofty outlooks the most extraordinary views are obtained. The stations have been so located that no two views are alike, and the sensational element increases with the height. JAPAN'S NEW AMBASSADOR. Viscount Siuzo Aokl, just appointed successor to Mr. Takahira, as Japanese ambassador to the United States, is 60 years of age, and is considered a man of foremost ability. VISCOUNT SIUZO AOKL He is a member of the imperial privy council and of the first-class order of the Rising Sun, has been prominent in the Japanese foreign office, and represented his country at The Hague conference. In Japanese diplomacy he is estimated as the superior of Mr. Takahira and of Baron Hyashi, minister to London. The former served under him as vice minister of foreign affairs.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA To win against Governor Chamberlain, the Republicans must put up a man who can carry the country, the rural districts. It is certain that the Republican nominee for governor will hail from outside of Portland, because this city desires the candidate for United States senator, and has also aspirants for state treasurer, state printer, and secretary of state. Governor Chamberlain, a Portland man, will be the Democratic nominee, and everybody concedes that he is strong here, and it is probable that he will carry this city, perhaps by quite a large majority. Four years ago he was strong also in the state outside of Portland, breaking about even with Mr. Furnish. He has gained rather than lost strength in the state, and would surely win if pitted against a man equally as weak as Furnish was then. It is evident, therefore, that to beat Chamberlain the Republican nominee must be strong in the country, should be the one among all those who have announced their candidacy who can get the most country votes. Which one is he? Some might say ex-Governor Geer but this is to be doubted, for he has been active in politics so long that he has aroused antagonisms that secretly, if not openly, would manifest themselves in the count. While perhaps never an extreme or bitter factionist, Mr. Geer was on some occasions at least decidedly on the Simon side, especially in his veto of the Portland charter bill on one occasion, and though it is professed, and we hope sincerely, on the part of many, that the factional hatchet is buried, we doubt not that a good many former Mitchell adherents would dig it up for use once more if Mr. Geer were to be the candidate. Then it is alleged, and in some quarters believed, that his administration was vulnerable; that attacks could be made upon it that could not be explained away satisfactorily. Mr. Geer vigorously defends himself, and claims that there is no just basis for any of these criticisms, but he would have to conduct a defensive campaign, to some extent, and it would not be wise politics to nominate a man who would have to do that, even though none of the censure of the ex-governor were deserved. Mr. Johns, of Baker City, is a capable man of a good record, but is there any good foundation for believing that he would be a strong candidate in the rural districts? He is a lawyer who has lived a good many years at Baker City, where he is well esteemed, but is not much known in other parts of the state, and he is not a man whose personality would attract doubtful votes. He is not a good campaigner like Chamberlain and Geer, and is not calculated to make an especially favorable impression on strangers. "George" would pick up half a dozen dubious voters to his one, so far as campaigning and personal contact go. Besides, it is evident that though he has been elected mayor of Baker City two or three times without opposition, he has bitter and relentless opposition there in his own party. The candidacy of Rand for representative and of Brown for governor shows that. So it would seem that Johns would not be the strong man needed. Sehlbrede, of Marshfield, will, of course, cut but a small figure. He will get quite a complimentary vote over on Coos Bay, and in Douglas county, where he used to live, but not enough to be taken into consideration except as to which other candidate his vote would weaken most; and on this point we can only suppose that he will pull about equally from the other three. Finally, there is Dr. Withycombe who has several strong points peculiarly his own, and no weak ones He has never been active in politics and so has made no factional enemies He is a scholar, a professor of agriculture, a practical farmer and teacher of farming. He has traveled in this capacity all over the state for many years past, and has thus comeers, who all like him and considermers, who all like him an considerhim their friend. Not only many farmers, but many business and professional men of the state were students in the agricultural college, and knew him there, and are his warm friends. There is no reason to suppose that if nominated he would not run as well in Portland as either of the others, and there are the reasons mentioned to believe that in the country districts he would run much better. If these statements and conclusions be correct, and we think none of them can be successfully disputed, it follows that Dr. Withycombe, from the viewpoint of availability, is the best man to nominate in April for governor. ABRAHAM LINCOLN. A great deal of American and other history has been made since Abraham Lincoln died in 1865, and yet if he had lived he would not be 100 years old yet by three years; there are several older men in Oregon than that. Wonderful changes, amounting in many cases to complete transformations of business methods and stupendous, marvelous development in many directions, have taken place since Lincoln's assassination, and yet it was not quite two score and one year ago. The anniversary of Lincoln's birth will be observed next Monday by millions of Americans, aye by millions born since he died by an assassin's bullet, and none will celebrate the day more reverently or more appreciatively of the great work he did and of his superb and lovable character than the colored people of America. His courage and genius, his clear insight into a great problem, his accurate conception of the great wong of slavery, his duty to his country and humanity, prompted him, 43 years ago, to strike the bonds of slavery from 4,000,000 slaves and make them free men and women. When he became president he found them slaves; when a monomaniacal Negrophobist killed him he left them free. No man in all history with a few strokes of his pen ever did so noble a piece of work as that. It is true that the emancipation proclamation was to a great extent a war measure; except for the exigencies of war it would not have been issued when it was; it was done partly to cripple the rebellion; yet it is well known that Lincoln was in a sense glad of the opportunity to do this great act; that he hated slavery and wished its peaceable extermination; that he had long forseen its doom and did not hesitate when the proper opportunity came to crush it out of existence. He had said years before the war began that "a house divided against itself cannot stand; this nation cannot endure half slaves, half free," and that he recognized slavery to be a great moral and political crime he showed in his matchless Gettysburg speech, in which he said that in the nation's great calamity that it was suffering on account of slavery, "the judgments of God are just and righteous altogether." Lincoln was a man of the utmost tolerance, except in the case of great wrongs; he was a man of infinite patience, and though at times melancholy, of sublime faith. He was thoroughly a man of the people; he trusted them and was beloved by them, and no American at his death was so deeply and sincerely mourned. His charity was as boundless as the world, as fathomless as the deepest depths of ocean, as high and shining as the stars. His character and the impelling force of all he did may be summed up in four words—Labor, Duty, Patience, Love. INDIRECT TAXATION. The indirect tax for Oregon, as proposed by Frank T. Wrightman, who is a Republican candidate for the nomination for secretary of state, is an excellent proposition—one that should be approved by the people generally— and if adopted would relieve them of a large part of the burden of direct taxation. Mr. Wrightman has made an especial study of this subject for years, as his position as assistant secretary of state gave him an excellent opportunity to do, and he has evolved a plan in detail that if adopted and put into practice would be worth a very large sum of money every years to the people of Oregon. Of course, as secretary of state, Mr. Wrightman could not enact any laws, but he could make suggestions and give advice to the legislature that would be of great benefit to them. the time is "Dr." Brougher. He ardent seeker after notoriously, an industrious manufacturer of tionalism. He says many things would be considered "off color" African Methodist church, but erated and even admired, like Jones, by many, because he is dric and somewhat witty and exp and sensational. He is some rather reckless with facts, at times "goes off half cocked," and the case in his attack upon Co man Masters and other counc but he draws a crowd and that only delights him but not the Mr. Wrightman is sincerely and earnestly in favor of raising a large part if not all the revenues required to run the state government by indirect taxation—the taxation of corporations and franchises—and this ought to be done. The people ought to insist upon it. They have submitted to the present injust system of taxation for too long already, and in their own interest ought to heed and follow Mr. Wrightman's advice. New Jersey has not for years taxed her people one penny for the maintenance of the state, all the money for that expense coming from the indirect tax levied against corporations and the state has pulled out of debt and now has too much money on hands. Other states are doing the same thing and why should not Oregon? Mr. Wrightman has the facts and figures and knowledge sufficient to introduce this system in Oregon, depending of course upon the legislature, and for the benefit of the commonwealth it should be given a trial. It costs, roughly speaking, $700,000 annually for the state. Of this amount a half million is collected from the taxpayers of the state, the property owners who pay county taxes. There is no need whatever of their paying a quarter that much. A proper system of indirect taxation will raise the most if not all of it. Mr. Wrightman's work on and interest in this problem should and will gain many votes for him. A GOOD REASON GIVEN. Mr. J. E. Hedges, of Oregon City, Democrat candidate for the nomination for state senator from Clackamas county, gives the following reasons for not subscribing to "Pledge No. 1" of the direct primary law: "I cannot discover how one who is careful and conscientious can promise to vote for any possible candidate who may get the largest number of votes at the next preceding general election, when that one, it may subsequently be found, has obtained his nomination by purchase, fraud or chicanery, and the vote at the general election may be that of a small minority of one party only, and the person may be opposed by a large majority of the people." He goes on to illustrate by supposing that out of say five candidates the one receiving only a slight plurality should turn out between June, when the election is held, and January, when the legislature meets, to be unworthy, to have gained votes by bribery or false pretenses, yet the pledge being absolute, any member giving it would have to vote for him. Mr. Hedges might have gone further and said that of two or three possibly receiving almost an equal vote the one having a plurality might be known to be less worthy than the others, yet must be voted for. The fact is that in such a case the much-talked-of "will of the people" is not so to be carried out. True, Mr. Hedges is a Democrat, and does not like to pledge himself, for he might then, under a strict construction of the law, have to vote for a Republican instead of Senator Gearin; but on the other hand, Republicans giving the pledge may very likely find themselves pledged to vote for Mr. Gearin. Probably in that case they would find some excuse for not doing so, but there is no good reason for putting themselves in that position. A PULPIT ACTOR. Dr. Brougher, of the First Baptist church, is a preacher who doubtless means to do good and thinks he does, but it may be reasonably suspected that his first consideration all the time is "Dr." Brougher. He is an ardent seeker after notoriety, and an industrious manufacturer of sensationalism. He says many things that would be considered "off color" in an African Methodist church, but is tolerated and even admired, like Sam Jones, by many, because he is dramatic and somewhat witty and explosive and sensational. He is sometimes rather reckless with facts, and at times "goes off half cocked," as was the case in his attack upon Councilman Masters and other councilmen, but he draws a crowd and that not only delights him but pleases the business end of the church, so from some points of view he is a great success; but people must not be censured if they doubt whether there is much real, downright genuine religioum in it all. Effecting reforms in the city of Portland is all right, and there is always more or less need of them, but it is easy to see that it wouldn't do to turn the city government over to the likes of Dr. Brougher. A HIDEBOUND CRITIC. A Southern paper prints a long article to prove that Professor Booker T. Washington seeks or does not decline the company at times of white people, arguing therefrom that his influence on the colored race is bad, as encouraging them to seek social equality. Well, if a lot of such critics, with no more sense or tolerance than this one possesses, were thrown into Professor Washington's society frequently, they could not avoid becoming somewhat broader, better and wiser men. A great many of the best people of the country, leaders in education, religion, science, politics, literature, finance and business, are glad to have Mr. Washington's company occasionally, and to help him in his good work. Opposition to the education of the colored people to a certain extent, and to giving them opportunities to make the most and best of themselves, is a species of bourbonism or iconoclasm that there is no use in arguing with, but it will die out after awhile even in the South. As for social equality, the colored man or woman who wants or accepts more of it than is agreeable and desirable, on both sides is an exception. It is principally a bugbear. And yet Judge Webster isn't sure. Colored voters should not put off registering. Pick a strong man to run against Sheriff Word. Democrats are quarreling, but it is of little consequence. Johns, Brown, Aitkin, Rand and Graham, all of Baker county. How will J. B. ever get his money back? O, well, he has plenty. It is hard work for some men to decide whether to become candidates or not. It seems to be a very hard job for the government to get a district attorney for Oregon. Many Republicans wish Hon. Malcolm A. Moody would be a candidate for representative, but probably he won't. Ex-Governor Lord was wise to decide not to run for governor. Marion county has more than its share of candidates already. Whether so intended or not, Sheriff Brown's candidacy for governor can scarcely fail to injure Johns' chances and improve Withycombe's. Still "Hood River" Smith is undecided, or at least has not taken the public into his confidence. He would be a strong man for either governor or senator. An Arkansas Negro was shot to death by a mob this week, not because he had assaulted a woman, nor because he had killed anybody, for he had not, but because he had fired a shot at a man who had given him a beating, perhaps without provocation. And so it goes. MODEL BAKERY Morrison St. & MILLER, Props. Original Pullman Bread BOLLINGER HOTEL European Plan Lewiston Idaho Best Hotel in Northern Idaho ESTABLISHED 1851.

She's a regular magician," said a boy perplexed by one of the "insoluble" difficulties of a schoolboy's life. The mother could hardly have a better claim to admiration from her son. Indeed, half a woman's business is "fixing things" which at first sight seem beyond repair or contrivance. The skill of mothers in setting things right is a combination of ingenuity, originality, courage, patience, and that wisdom born of love. "Never call a thing impossible until you have tried it yourself," is the wise mother's motto. "Tom will have to leave college," said Tom's father to Tom's mother in the middle of Tom's sophomore year. "He's can't seem to keep up with his class, and though he makes new resolutions to brace up every week, they all come to naught." "Tom leave college? Our Tom give up his first battle? Oh, I don't think that will happen," said his mother. So she thought and thought, and when the next week came she was up early, and before 8 o'clock Monday morning was sitting in her son's room at college. "Now, Tom," she said, "I'm going to see if we can't save the day. I shall simply sit here from 8 o'clock in the morning until 5 o'clock in the afternoon. You will study meantime many things which I do not understand. But I think you will find it easier to study because I am here, and you certainly will not fail to get up in season to receive the mother's call." Tom looked a little ashamed, a little dazed and a little pleased; but in two months the talk about his leaving college was a matter of the past, and his degree was secure. So the mother had justified herself as a worker of miracles—Youth's Companion. A Scared Lion. In the familiar stories of the unarmed man and the lion, it is not the former who trifles with the situation. There is a sort of poetic justice, therefore, in the following incident reported by the New York Press. A group of loungers were discussing the recent escape of a lion at one of the summer parks just outside of Newark, and one expressed his belief that it must have been something of a scare. "Scare!" echoed a man connected with the park. "I should say it was a scare. The people made such a din I was afraid the poor old fellow would die of fright before we could get him back to his cage. "We found him hiding behind a tree, and it was ten minutes before we could induce him to face that yelling mob and get back to where he knew he was safe. He is the gentiest old fellow in the world, and never would have wandered out had he not been frightened by the man who fell into the cage from the cycle whirl above. Of course that upset him, and when he saw the door open he naturally ran out. "Then the people made such a noise that his one idea was to flee. The more he ran the more they yelled, and when we did get him back it was hours before he stopped trembling. "It was a shame to scare the poor old fellow like that." Still Worse. Him—What makes you look so miserable? Her—Why, do I look miserable? Him—Yes; you look as if your worst enemy had just been happily married. Her—Oh, it's ever so much worse than that. She has just been happily divorced. Green Chrysanthemums Exhibited. Green chrysanthemums were exhibited at a flower show in Essex, England. THE MILITARY CENTER 360-362 Alder St. Cor.

CAUGHT BY THE GRIP-- RELEASED BY PE-RU-NA CATARRH ANNOYING DANGEROUS Catarrh is usually regarded as nothing more serious than a bad cold or slight inflammation of the inner skin and tissues of the head and throat, when it is, in fact, not only a vexation and troublesome disease, but a complicated and dangerous one. It is true that Catarrh usually begins with a cold in the head, but when the poisons, which are thrown off through the secretions, find their way into the blood, it becomes a constitutional trouble that affects all parts of the body. It has more annoying and disgusting symptoms than any other disease. There is a sickening and offensive discharge from the nostrils, a constant buzzing noise in the ears, headaches and pains in the eyes are frequent, while filthy, tenacious matter drops back into the throat requiring continual hawking and spitting, and in certain stages of the disease the breath has an odor that is very offensive. Catarrh is worse in Winter, because the cold weather closes the pores and glands, and the poisons and unhealthy vapors which should pass off that way are thrown back on the tender linings and tissues, causing the inflammation which starts Bladder and other members of the body, while the general health is weakened, appetite lost and the patient feels despondent and half sick all the time. But worst of all, if the trouble is not checked the lungs become diseased from the constant passage of poisoned blood through them, and Catarrh terminates in Consumption, the most fatal of all diseases. You cannot get rid of Catarrh by treating it with sprays, washes, inhalations, etc., because they only reach the membranes and tissues, while the real cause of the trouble is in the blood. These relieve the annoying symptoms for a time, but the poison is all the while getting a stronger hold on the system and when they are left off will manifest itself in worse form than before. S. S.

"My dear," whispered the young man, "as we are so soon to be married we should take a practical view of life and profit by the mistakes of others.

"Yes, indeed—hundreds and hundreds of times; and lately I haven't thought of much else." "Eh?" "Yes. Your income is $2,000, isn't it?" "Yes; I want it to go as far as possible toward your happiness." "Of course. Well, I've talked it over with mamma and she thinks an allowance of $1 a week will be plenty." "Indeed?" "Oh, yes.

DIG IT BY CONTRACT Wallace Would Save Canal From Needless Red Tape. Wallace Would Save Canal From Needless Red Tape. ALSO GIVES CROMWELL A SHOT ary, He Says. Washington, Feb. 8.—John F. Wallace, ex-chief engineer of the Isthmian Canal commission, today concluded his testimony before the senate canal committee, except in relation to the type of canal, which will be taken up after the reports of the board of consulting engineers have been made public. He said the red tape necessary to the system involved in governmental work compelled him to favor the contract plan of building te canal in order to expedite its completion. He thought the man in charge of the work on the isthmus should be the undisputed head, with the governor of the zone second and the man who has charge of the procuring of supplies and men third in authority. The present arrangements, he said, amounted to a chain of masters with the chairman of the commission an executive commissioner, Mr. Cromwell, Secretary Taft and the president, grading down to Mr. Stevens, or the man in actual charge of operations on the isthmus. He said Mr. Cromwell had been included as one of the masters, for the reason that he seemed to have certain unisplained influence which entitled him to be classed in the chain. Headquarters of the commission should be on the isthmus, Mr. Wallace said, and the harder the communication with Washington the less the work would be retarded. He thought the engineer in charge was not paid an excessive salary. Senator Morgan suggested Mr. Stevens was receiving as much as all of the senators on the committee, and Mr. Wallace replied: "Yes; I presume he earns it." Discussing rates on the Panama railroad, he thought there should be no classification of freight in the schedules, but that a charge of $2 a ton should be made. Continuing he said: "If this government cannot deal with the rates on that little railroad in a satisfactory manner, it had better leave the railroad systems of the United States alone."

Murray, assistant secretary of commerce and labor, and Herbert Knox Smith, deputy commissioner of corporations, as well as Captain William T. Burwell, United States navy, who will be detailed for service in your department, to proceed to Seattle, Wash., and there make thorough and complete investigation of all the circumstances attending the wreck of the steamer Valencia and the case or cases thereof, and any misconduct, negligence or dereliction of duty upon the part of anyone related thereto and having any bearing upon the loss of life occasioned by said disaster; and also, as you may direct, to investigate such other matters bearing upon the safety of traffic in navigable waters of the United States in that vicinity and the effectiveness and sufficiency of the present aids to navigation along said waters; and to make full report thereon, with recommendations for such departmental or legislative action as may be indicated by said report and findings."

THE LAXATIVE OF KNOWN QUALITY There are two classes of remedies: those of known quality and which are permanently beneficial in effect, acting gently, in harmony with nature, when nature needs assistance; and another class, composed of preparations of unknown, uncertain and inferior character, acting temporarily, but injuriously, as a result of forcing the natural functions unnecessarily. One of the most exceptional of the remedies of known quality and excellence is the ever pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., which represents the active principles or plants, known to act most beneficially, in a pleasant syrup, in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to contribute their rich, yet delicate, fruity flavor. It is the remedy of all remedies to sweeten and refresh and cleanse the system gently and naturally, and to assist one in overcoming constitution and the many ills resulting therefrom. Its active principles and quality are known to physicians generally, and the remedy has therefore met with their approval, as well as with the favor of many millions of well informed persons who know of their own personal knowledge and from actual experience that it is a most excellent laxative remedy. We do not claim that it will cure all manner of ills, but recommend it for what it really represents, a laxative remedy of known quality and excellence, containing nothing of an objectionable or injurious character. There are two classes of purchasers: those who are informed as to the quality of what they buy and the reasons for the excellence of articles of exceptional merit, and who do not lack courage to go elsewhere when a dealer offers an imitation of any well known article; but, unfortunately, there are some people who do not know, and who allow themselves to be imposed upon. They cannot expect its beneficial effects if they do not get the genuine remedy. To the credit of the druggists of the United States be it said that nearly all of them value their, reputation for professional integrity and the good will of their customers too highly to offer imitations of the Genuine-Syrup of Figs Genuine-Syrup of Figs manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., and in order to buy the genuine article and to get its beneficial effects, one has only to note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—plainly printed on the front of every package.
