MILWAUKEE, Sept. 24-Wiscon-ain had a political climax today in a complete and emphatic manner in which Senator La Follctte first de clared Judge Taft to be redical in hit political idea and then gave him hit own unqualified endorsement. This is said in La Follctte indorse ment quoted from the Bible: "Thou shall provide out of all the people able men, such as fear Cod; men of truth, hating covetousncss," he then added, "Such is the great leader that we have with us today, Nature gave him poise, judicial temperament, great force of character, tenacity of purpose." His long life in public service is dixtinguished for'his mark ed ability, its wisdom, its integrity, id patriotism. He has taken advanc ed ground upon the great issues of this great country. He is progressive in principle. He is equipped won drously by experience. Two presi dents in succession summoned to their aid, man who is our honored guest today. J The endorsement was delivered at Mason's, before an audience compos ed of farmers from all portions of the state attending national farmers' convention, who cheered every men tion and, all he said about Taft as "they did the candidate himself, who in turn before" delivering his speech, paid his compliments to the senator. -In his tariff speech here tonight Taft reviewed the promise of his party for revision of the tariff and promised that party would adhere to its prom ise. I lie said where tariffs were too high they would be reduced and where they are too low they will be raised. It would 'be a revision, he said, contrary to the democratic doc trine of tariff for revenue only and would be along the line of protection OLSEN WAS KILLED BY HIS COMPANION Necanicum Farmer Mistaken for a Deer by Johan nes Hjorteland The particulars of the shooting of Albert .Olsen, the Necanicum farmer, were brought to this city last night by J. A. Gilbaugh, the county coro ner, who had hastened to the scene of the slaying to make 'an investiga tion. Olsen was shot by Johannes Hjorteland, a neighbor. The two men have been intimate friends for five years and went out hunting to gether Wednesday. t Hjorteland shot Olsen by mistake, thinking he was a deer. Itis simply another illustration of the old story. That the' shooting was accidental and only, Taft also spoke at Bcloit, Janesville, Evanvillc, Madison, Waukesha, and at Racine. WILL ANSWER LATER. Bryan Will Reply to President After More Consideration. DAYTON, Sept. 24.-Coloncl Bry an, will answer president Roosevelt's letter replying to Bryan's deference to charges against Governor Haskell, but will not do so today, however. The matter was discussed on the t,ra!n by Bryan and those accompany ing him. TO OUST THE OREGON FISH WARDEN FEDERAL INJUNCTION WILL BE EXTENDED TO COVER j THE ENTIRE RIVER. A VICTORY FOR FISHERMEN If Action Deveiope Out of Present Negotiations, Fishermen Will be Able to Pursue Their Occupation Without Interference From Officers PORTLAND, Sept. 24.-The Fed eral Court injunction which prohibits Master Fish Wirdcn McAllister from ;..trrriitar u-ith residents of the State .v. of Washington or other fishermen engaged in the business on that part nf the Columbia River lying north of the main channel, will be extended to cover the entire river. Should this Jction be the outepme of the orcscnt negotiations, it will allow the fishermen to pursue their occupations without interference from the Oregon officers. At conference held late yesterday afternoon between Attorney-General Crawford and the Master Fish War den it was suggested by the latter that the injunction now in effect give the Washington, operators a right to immunity while' the Oregon ofiiters were in duty bound to control those firms which attempted to fish in vio lation of the present statute on the south side of the center of the chan nel; which in bis opinion was unfair ly discriminating against the interests of this state. It was then determined to request Assistant Attorney-General I? C. McDonald, of Washington, to petition the United. States Court for an order, restraining Warden McAl lister from enforcing the law on the entire width of the stream, VU the and Killed Instantly just as told by Hjorteland seems en tirely probable, and the jiyy at the inquest soheld,. Coroner Gilbaugh returned to the city last night with the body of the. dead man. The man who did the shooting also accom panied him, .voluntarily, .though he would have been brought in as a prisoner had he not intended to pre sent himself to the authorities here at his own volition. Hjorteland presented himself to the prosecuting attorney, Mr. Tongue last night, and recited the details of (Continued on page 4) ASTORIA, OREGON, I BRITISH BARK DUNDEE A TOTAL WRECK Vessol Loaded With Oregon Wheat Meets Disaster PORTLAND, Sept. 24.-That the Britih bark Dundee is a total wreck on Walliston slands, in the Southern Pacific Ocean, is the message receiv ed today by the Merchants Exchange. Whether any lives were lost has not been ascertained, but it is known the vessel and its cargo of wheat are lost. The Dundee was of 1776 tons burden and was headed for Quecnstown with a cargo of wheat, leaving Portland June 29. The vessel was' in command of Captain Ridot. No details have, been received concerning the disaster, but it is surmised the vessel is a victim of fierce gales which have prevailed in the South Pacific for the last two weeks. same time the Ocgon officials will stipulate and agree to allow the law to remain inoperative until the United States Supreme Court shall pass upon the case of Chris Neilson on appeal. Neilson, a resident of the state of Washington, was arrested and brought to this state for trial. He was convicted in a lower court and at a later date the decision was affirm ed by the Supreme Court for Oregon. Washington has appealed the case to the highest tribunal of the country upon the ground that the defendant was a resident of that state; that he followed a legal occupation on the north side of the river and that the Oregon officials can have no jurisdic tion north of the main channel except over such matters as both states may agree shall be considered crimes. Attorney-General Crawford for warded a letter last night incorporat ing the suggestions, and believes that the Washington officials will join in this plan of reaching a solution of the trouble with as little loss to resi dents of both states as possible.

That is, the President, with his usual im petuosity and reckless disregard of others, misstates" the facts." The foregoing is the text of Gov ernor Haskell's, tacit, and' bungling, denial of President Roosevelt's open effarge that the Oklahoman executive discharged a group Of Republican educators from the state educational institutions of Oklahoma front sheer partisan bias. And to indicate that it is but tacit, and shamblingly so the Morning Astorian is in position to say, by way of exact proof, that Sec retary John IT, Whyte, of the As toria .Chamber of Commerce, is just also a victim of the Haskell partisan JV MEMBER to fl'siS mm OF PRAISE FOR TAFT Bryan Expresses His High Opin ion for His Opponent CINCINNATI. Sept. 24.-After a memorable day in the history of cam- oaiifiiinir of this state Colonel Bryan arrived here tonight from Dayton. The train was welcomed here with red fire and cheers from thousands of throats. All the way from Columbus here the nominee was well accorded enthusiastic receptions. In the course of his speech tonight Bryan said: "As this is the home of my oppon ent, I desire to take occasion to ex press my high opinion of his char acter and accomplishments. I .think I pay a higher compliment in assum ing he is able to conduct his own campaign, than does the president who is contesting with him the lead ership of the party in this campaign. Bryan referred to Taft's record to the offices he ha held, but Bryan declar ed that he tould not have secured the republican nomination on this rec ord alone. It was, said Bryan, the powerful support of the president that made Taft the nominee of his party. Bryan contrasted -Jhis with his own record. Only four years has he,, held office, he said, Bryan related his earlier history as a young lawyer with no rich or influential friends. Bryan said he has advocated tariff re form for a quarter of a century and has lived long enoughlo now see the republican party frightened into promising its. needed revision. He has advocated the income tax and has lived to see Taft advocate tt. He favored free coinage of silver, so did Majoi1 McKinley. Taft accuses him of favoring government ownership, forgetting that Roosevelt and he him self have threatened railroads with it if they did not consent to effective regulation, which is substantially the same position as Bryan has taken. Bryan says he opposed the trusts ever since he Went into public life and he is sorry while Taft has ac cepted the democratic platform on several questions he refuses to accept the democratic plank of this one. He declared Taft does not stand for a single reform that has not been advo cated by the democrats before he took up the work. by'Some of the Educa- IN SCHOOLS HERE by Professor Imel of the High John H.

There is no animus in the letter; it is just such an epistle as one would look for at the hands of a pro found scholar and cultured gentleman, who has borne an indignity as such people generally bear them but it is unequivocally convincing, all the same: Another bit of incontestable local proof at hand, is the sub-joined state ment of Prof. J.

HE READS MORE LETTE.RS Again After Governor Haskell De claring Him to be a Tool of the Standard Oil and I Promoter tf Crooked Railways. NEW .YORK, Sept. 24.-W. R. Hearst addressing the state convenr tion of the independence party, re newed his attack on the members of both of the great patties and produc ed another batch of letters which he said were written by or to John D. Archbold. One of the letters was addressed to former Senator McLau; rin of North Carolina and there were also letters from McLaurin to Arch bold in which the" writer declared he would "beat Tillman if properly and generously suported." it He also "read a letter from Repre sentative Sibley to Archbold and a letter from Archbold to "Representa tive Senator," whose name did not appear. Renewing his attack on Governor Haskell, Hearst declared he is not only a "Standard Oil tool and promoter of crooked railways, but was one of the organizers of the steel trust." He quoted from a court record of the suit brought by Haskell's law partner in Ohio against the Illinois Steel Company and the Federal Steel Company, for services rendered by Haskell as attorney and "Organiz er." Hearst also quoted from what he declared was a recent speech of Haskell defending the Standard Oil Company as "Having done wonders for this country HAS Hi BURNED DISTRICT COVERS 30 MILES Forest Fires in the Vicinity of Luff enholtz Continue With No Relief in Sight-Two" Death Reported EUREKA, Cal., Sept. 24-Word was received -late tonight that the sawmill ofthe Little River Redwood Lumber Company was destroyed by fire. The loss is estimated at $275, 000. The mill was owned by Cana dian capital. Forest fires in vicinity of Luffen holtz are still burning with no signs of let up, refugees are still coming out of the burned area on foot, horse back and on litters.

NEW YORK, Sept 24.-U is definitely known that-several demo cratic national committeemen are urging that Governor Haskell resign or be removed frjra position as treasurer of the national committee. Chairman Mack said today he had nothing to say about the matter and that he had no communication with Bryan or Haskell regarding it He added that he does not know what is going to be done and could not say whether Haskell will resign or not The national committeemen express ed the belief today that no action will be taken by the national com mittee, but that the whole matter wjll be settled by Bryan and Mack after Bryan has made a thorough in vestigation of the case. Mack said he knew nothing of the report from Washington today that Haskell had tendered his resignation and said fur ther he had issued no order calling a meeting of the national and executive committees. HASKELL WRITES HEARST. GUTHRIE, Sept. 24. A letter which Governor Haskell today ad dressed to William R. Hearst takes up the Hearst's contention that the usefulness of the old parties is over. Haskell nowhere alludes to the con troversy which Hearst started be tween President Roosevelt and Col. Bryan over Haskell's alleged connec tion with the Standard Oil interests. In brief, Haskell declares, that the Democratic party of Oklahoma has coveted everything with one excep tion, in framing the constitution of that state, which is advocated by Hearst, and asserts that the Denver platform contains, the same principles with two exceptions. Haskell also declares that Oklahoma's congres sional delegation introduced in the (Continued on page 8.) body being found evidently burned to death. The latest reports show a burned district that extends along the coast 12 miles and the fire is now going up Little River at a furious pace. They are traveling so fast that there is little doubt, they will reach the thick timber at the head of Little River when the dam age will be hard to estimate. If the fire once gets' into this timber there will be no stopping of it until it reaches the Trinity county line unless the. wind changes or a heavy rain Continued on pag 8.)

THE COAST PAYING FOR IT. It is very evident, from the course steadily pursued by the fire insurance people, that the enormous losses ratified hv the San Francisco fire fire are to be made good by the busi masses of the whole Pacific Slope. There is no longer any doubt as to this policy, which is confirmed from every direction and from all sources of importance west of the Rocky Mountains. And what is more, the specific town or city or newspa per that rebels will be made to carry its own rod of punishment; It is high time, the people should merge in self-defence and take such steps as will demonstrate to the huge trust their unwillingness to longer stand as the catspaw in the issue. Portland was threatened with her share of the new exaction, but she put up an instant and indomitable fight against the outrage and spared herself the recouping imposition; every city and town in the State is now contending against the incursion of new robber-tariffs, Astoria includ ed, but are making indifferent head way for the reason that they are too small, acting singly, to resist success fully. The hour for coalition is at hand, and what may not be done in a segregated way, must be done by the Oregon Legislature this winter to mitigate the plundering practices that are now the vogue in this bysiness. One of the readiest roads to relief, instant, and thorough, is' the repeal of the law requiring the primary deposit of $50,000 from the companies enter ing the State; the free admission of every concern that wants to write in surance, board, and non-board, and the imperative legal enactment of a maximum rate sheet There is no more necessity for the $50,000 deposit in the case of an insurance company than there is for such a demand from a dry goods house or an ice factory desiring to do business in Oregon; and it only serves as a pretext for an advance in rates because of the withdrawal of that sum from the ac tivities of the business charged with it. Competition is what is needed to re duce the scales that are paralyzing the premium-paying masses of Uregon, the entry of non-board companies and the free play of underwriting that shall have no hampering strings to it; the vast sums on deposit in the Ore gon treasury in this behalf, are of no avail to the State; the companies are,

generally speaking, sound enough to meet their last engagement, and they draw down the interest accumulating upon the bonds and other securities so deposited; hence the practice now .prevailing, aside from a good stiff license, may be safely dispensed with, and the field broadened to a pass where the people may choose the company and rate that suits them best. We pretend to despise and dread the trusts, yet we are nursing one of the rankest, most arbitrary, closest knit and piratical combines known to man, when we suffer the exactions of the Pacific Coast Board of Fire Under writers; and if ever the people needed an inspiration to employ their su preme franchises, known asMie Initia tive and Referendum, they have it in this case, and it should be done forth with, compelling the Legislature to intervene. THEY HAVE OBJECTIONS. There are about 1000 men in this city who eke out an arduous liveli hood by salvaging timbers from the river and bay and sawing them into saleable conditions, or into home equipment, thus making practical and important use of the product, to whom the barrier of an impenetrable S. DELLINGER CO. ....$7.00 .60 ASTORIAN. July 30, 1906, a ..$1.50 the postoffice at As seawall will not appeal with any par ticular allurement; and while this may not figure as an admissable plea against the great improvement, it will certainly operate to the negativing of the proposition so long as it will be effective. And again there are other thousands of men who nse the open trestling as a highway to boat-berths and net racks who will disparage the idea of the barrier so long as they may do so decently. They are talk ing it freely, and he who doubts it has but to go to Alderbrook or Union- town for quick and specific proof of the sentiment prevailing. We admit that there is nothing logi cal in snch an idea as weighed against the splendid accomplishment of the seawall, but that it exists in definite shape, is of importance enough to warrant its recognition, especially by those who would force the measure during this year of unpreparedness and with a bill that does not even give, consideration to the imperative and elemental pre-requisites of ad- anced street grades and new and adequate sewer provisions. BIG FELLOWS AT IT. Roosevelt and Bryan are at it!. They are scrappers worth watching, even from such an interminable dis- ance as little old Astoria. Of course, we are betting on Theo dore, and he carries all the odds we can stand for. Mr. Bryan has made a mistake, just as Hitchcock made a blunder; Haskell is not one whit bet ter than Foraker. And as Mr. Taft promptly dealt with an ugly situa tion, so the Nebraskan will have to deal with his mess. Theodore Roose velt never yet went after a public man without reason and justification, and Mr. Bryan cannot afford to be less clean and emphatic in his dealings with questionable people. It is an interesting phase of an otherwise desultory campaign; desul tory because of the foregoness of Bryan's defeat. A SURPRISED MINISTER. Hyomei Cured Bronchial Catarrh Af ter he Had Given up in Despair. "For many years I have been a suf ferer from bronchial catarrh, and had J despaired of anything like a cure. Judge of my pleasant surprise when l first use(j Hyomei, which brought complete relief. Hyomei has been a veritable godsend." Rev. Charles Hartley, Sardinia, Ohio.

Many of these desnair of ever being cured. in 1 3v uvpon V V. o fhey nave goaded their stomachs with nostrums until they are disgusted with all medicines, and are now traveling their miserable way, allowing the devilish germs of catarrh to sap them of their health, energy and vitality. But let us reason together. T. F. Laurin, the druggist, has a guaranteed remedy for catarrh, and all inflamma tory diseases of the nose, throat and bronchial tubes. The name of this remarkable remedy is Hyomei, and if it doesn't cure T. F. Laurin will give you your money back. Hyomei (pronounced High-o-me) is medicated air; you just brethe it through the inhaler over the inflamed and eerm ridden membrane, and its soothing antiseptic properties will allav the inflammation, destroy the germs, and restore the entire respi ratory tract to its normal conditions. A complete Hyomei outfit, includ ing a hard rubber inhaler, costs, but $1.00, and an extra bottle of Hyomei, if afterwards needed, costs but 50 cents. See T. F.

KNOWN AS THE WHITE HANDS kidnapping Cases in the Illinois Town Grow to Such a Large Ex. tent That the Polict Are Unable to Handle Them Successfully. CHICAGO Sept. 24.-The cam paign of the White Hand Society against the blackmailing and kidnap ing of persons of the "black hand" was renewed yesterday at a meeting of the organization at the Italian con sulate in the Masonic Temple. Stirred by the recent kidnapping of Guiseppe Giunta, whose father An tonio Giunta, received several threat ening letters demanding $500, the White Hand Society adopted resolu tions demanding increased police pro tection for Italian residents of Chi ngo. The resolutions allege that the ordi nary policeman is powerless to cope with Black Hand criminals and the peculiar crimes they commit because of a lack of knowledge of the talian language and customs. That the campaign for the suppres ion fo the Black Hand bids fair to become an international question was revealed by an announcement made by Attorney Malata, who returned re- ently from a visit to Italy, that the question had been taken up by Tho mas Tittoni, Italian minister of for eign affairs. Foreign Minister Tittoni has given his official approval of the Chicago White Hand Society and promised active cooperation in its work. The problem of suppressing Black Hand crimes will be taken up inter nationally at a congress of delegates from all Italian colonies in the world, to be held in Rome beginning Octo ber 8. The object of the congress is to discuss and devise ways and means for the welfare of Italian emigrants in all parts of the world. ALABAMA REPUBLICANS. BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Sept. 23. At the meeting yesterday of the execu tive committe of the Davidson, or an ti-administration wing of the repub lican party in Alabama it was decid ed to withdraw all candidates from the field for state offices. Followers of this faction of the party were urged to support the nominees of the Thopmson or regular wing in the com ing election. This apparently re moves all strife within the party in the state, although the organization will be maintained with an advisory committee of which W. P. Alclrich is chairman. NEW LAND AGENT. Repre tenting the Entire Associated Southern Pacific Interests. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 24.-Fol- lowing a meeting of the Board of Di rectors of the Southern Pacific, the Central Pacific and the Oregon and California Railroads yesterday, it was announced that B. A. McAllister has been elected land agent of the three corporations. "His appointment be came effective last Monday. This is the first time that the three railways have been represented by a single land agent. The Southern Pacific lias had no permament land agent for several years, the office having ben temporar ily filled during that time. The Cen tral Pacific has been similarly situated since the death of W. H. Mills. McAI- laster was until recently land commis sioner of the Union Pacific with head quarters in Omaha, and with his ap pointment it is expected there will be considerable activity in land held by the three companies. CURTAIN CATCHES FIRE. One Dead And Two Injured In San Francisco Blaze. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. .24.-A lace curtain caught by a draft from in open window and blown onto a gas jet, caused a fire in a Gough-strcet lodging house, which resulted in the death of Frederick Kirk, a carpenter, and the injury of J. H. Spinetti and II. Butt, both firemen, and three oth or persons, one of them A young wo' man whose identity has not been learn ed. Kirk was evidently asleep on the second floor of the building and did not wake when two coroners deputies who saw the flumes, rushed through the houe and knocked at the doors. Later Kirk was found lying on the floor dead, evidently overcome by the smoke or heart fuilure. Suini'tti and Butt were standing on a ladder directing the stream of a hose when the ladder broke, throwing them to the ground,' Both were bad ly bruised and cut and it is feared Sinctti may have received internal in juries 'of a serious nature., 'V? The damage' to the building amoun ted to about three thousand dollars. THE AMERICAN IRISH. BOSTON, Sept. 24,-Thc National Convention of the Irish League of America, brought its biennial session to a close in Faneuil Hall yesterday with the elction of officers and pas sing of resolutions approving the work of the League's representatives in the British House of Commons.' Officers were elected as follows: National President, Michael J. Ryan of Phila delphia.' National treasurer. L. B. Fitzpatrick, Boston. National Sec retary, John O'Callaghan, Boston.

OFFICER WOULD RETIRE., SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 24.-A hot water dam which was evidently all that its name implied, may cost the army one of its officers, n an appli cation for retirement Capt. Edwin G. Davis, commanding the 61st Coast Artillery, declares that he has been disabled bv the application of hot water bags' to an ankle that was se verely bruised in the Philippines. The scalding heat, it is said injured the tissues of his foot. His case has been submitted and will probably soon be decided. BANQUET IS GIVEN. Chicago Suburanites Celebrate The Completion Of Big Conduit C1IICAO, Sept. 24.-A banquet laid in a sewer in Franklin Park, a Chi cago suburb on the west bank of the Desplaincs River, yesterday was the unique means of the enterprising wo men of that town to celebrate the op ening of the new concrete .sewage conduit, the completion of which ends a legal fight of 16 years. The women only could be induced to enter when Mrs. Dora F. Combes, chosen by lot, dared to descend through the manhole. Mrs. Combes had no trouble in de scending. When she viewed the scene below she sent up a cry of enthusias tic encouragement to her sister above for in either direction for several hun dred feet was a long line of coffee cups, grap juice glasses filled to the brim, sandwiches, and other edibles with the candles alight along the tun nelway. Harry L. Emerson, the engincr who designed the big sewer, led the way for the" rest of the women down the ladder to the briliantly lighted funnel. It was a tight squeeze for some to get through the manhold, but all the women said they had a good time. 'COINS FOR FILIPINOS.

LYONS LINGERS. Mike Lyons' 'restaurant on the Bowery has today opened its doors once more and restored to that his toric old thoroughfare the most shin ing landmark of its younger days. A year ago the proprietor of this East Side Delmonico's suffered it to be locked up for the first time in almost forty years and sadly set at sea the "high guys" of police and political circles who had made its festive board their nightly headquarters ever since the key was first thrown away. Now the way Imi at last been made straight for reviving the splendors of this luxurious Bowery refectory and Its blazing lights and open doors are at tracting some of the old crowd of by-gone days.? But the Bowery is sad ly civilized and changed these days and thus far the old pride of the row has lacked much of its for mer patronage. Roosevelt, Croker and almost every political and police power of younger New York once sat In conclave over Lyons' cloth j but to-night the, place is only a name to many of the frequenters.

Altogether the approach of "Hinky Dink", Is as Impressive as a three-alarm fire run and his presence is lining up the crowd three-deep along his route on Broadway. The ward boss of Chicago has tried to tell what Illinois would do for Bryan; but has as yet found that his clothes spoke much louder than his words.

JALOFF'S IMPORTANT ADDITION TO CURRICULUM, AND A NEW TEACHER IS SOUGHT. Suits, "The Style Store." Cloaks and Millinery The Astoria board of education has decided that it is imperative to secure the services of another teacher for the High School department, and the superintendent has been requstd to endeavor to close a contract with a man in the east who has been seeking to find a place in the Astoria High, There are now 135 pupils in this de partment, while last year at the com mencement of the term there were but 105. The buildings are so lamentably crowded that some means ought to be found, it is said, for more' school room while the number of pupils also re quires that the teaching force be augmented. Superintendent Clark also announc ed last evening that the board has de cided to add another course to the High School curriculum a Commer cial, or Business course. There have heretofore been three courses Latin, English and the Science course. The Commercial will make the fourth, and it is believed that it will be found highly practical -and popular. This Commercial course will include in struction in bookkeeping, stenography and the use of typewriting machines. Commercial arithmetic and kindred subjects will of course be taken up. The High School course is formed to comprise the usual four years' training preparatory to a college or university course. It is planned to have the new Commercial course oc cupy two years, and while taking it the pupils will also have the ordinary studies in algebra, English, history, and the like. At the end of the two years the curriculum will be so form ed that they may then taken up an other course and complete it in two years, thus accrediting them as regu lar graduates o"f the High School. Simlpy to graduate from the Com mercial course of two years would not accredit the pupil as a graduate of the school. It is believed this new course will prove of much value. Business men and others who are accustomed to employ the services of girls and young men who graduate from the ordinary business college, without a prelimi nary training in other subjects, find that their employees are often exas- peratingly unsatisfactory. A girl who may be able to smash away on a type writer freely enough may not really know when to use a comma instead of a period; while the matters of simplex syntax or of spelling frequently prov mysteries too deep even for utterance Hut in the High School course, the pupils will naturally: be thoroughly grounded in all such matters, and the graduate of the High School Com nercial course should prove at em ployce of much value in any office, Mr. Imel, the new principal, seems io have won the regard and conti dence of the board and the outlook or the public schools is bright. Mr, I met believes in athletics, it is said and he hopes by the development of interest along athletic lines to keep ihe boys in school. Now it is a great trouble to keep the lads at their studies. Hardly have many of them put on long trousers before they want get a job somewhere. Experience all over the United States has abund nntly proven the great wisdom of athletics in the public schools, when carried on in a rational way, and the time may soon come when the As toria boys may feel proud of their connection with the A. H. in an athletic way. But the lack of a "gym1 is sorely felt, and the rainy months will .naturally preclude jll outdoor sports then.' Olson Was Killed by His Companion (Continued from page 1) the shooting. After consulting with the coroner the prosecuting attorney deemed it safe to permit the man to go on his own recognition, and this was done. Hjortland will stay in the city for a day or two, and it is prob able the death of Olsen will be con sidered by the grand jury, though there docs not seem the slight prob ability that any other view of the matter will be taken than the one presented. Acting upon a suggestion of the district attorney, Coroner Gilbaugh last night called jn Dr. A. R. Finch and a post mortem examination of the body was made. Olsen was 44 years of age. He was unmarried. For 14 years he has lived alone on his little farm. Hjort land lives on an adjoining piece of land. He has been there five years, and for that period the men have been friends and have frequently hunted together. Last Monday they killed a bear. Their places are be- ond the Necanicum postoffice. Wednesday, according to the story told by Hjorteland to the jury at the inquest, he and Olsen started out hunting at 7 o'clock in the morning. They reached a certain steep divide, and it was agreed that Olsen was to remain at the top of this divide while his companion went on the other side and tried to start up any game that might be there. While Hjorteland was making his way along through the heavy brush this being half or three quarters of an hour after he had left Olsen he saw something move in the brush about 200 or 250 feet ahead of him. For a moment or more he watch it, and judging from its "brown" appearance that it was a deer, he raised his 30-30 rifle and fired. Twice he fired, as quick as he could. With a crash the supposed deer toppled down the steep hillside a distance of perhaps 75 feet, though all the time concealed by the heavy brush. Then raising his voice Hjorteland says he called for Olsen to come, and several times he whistled shrilly for him. But there was no reply. Hjorteland says he then laboriously went down the steep place to where the supposed deer was lying and there he was horrified to discover the dead body of his friend and comrade. A mile and a half away lies the nearest farm house, and Hjorteland states that he hastened there at the top of his speed. From that point it was over. eight miles to the near est telephone and a messenger was dispatched to acquaint the coroner of the slaying of the man. Such, in substance, was the story told by Hjorteland to the coroner's jury yes terday. He was stricken with grief and horror at the sad affair. The coroner's jury returned a ver dict of "accidental death," and added this clause: "We exonerate the said Johannes Hjorteland from all blame." -The jury was composed of Her man Ahlers, George Dragolich, El mer H. Robarts, M. F. Bowman, Alex C. Brown. The investigation was conducted by Mr. Gilbaugh, and ap parently the matter was gone into vith great thoroughness. But every thing simply tended to corroborate the simple story told by the only 1EK Of ft ET"3 a OF Carpets, Matting's and Liraol j Mattings of every grade and price j per yard 10c Carpets in Body Brussels, Axmin isters and Tapestries at 50c per yard Linoleums in three grades 40 per sq. yard v r rfl Carrington Behaireli.

Mr. Gilbaugh drove there, leaving here about 2 o'clock in the afternoon and arriving there shortly after 8 o'clock. The roads were in excellent hape all the way, he states. The post mortem last night by Dr. Finch disclosed that the bullet had entered the left breast at the third rib, and had passed through the body until it struck the spinal cord. I his was severed by the bullet, and death, therefore, was instantaneous. Of the two shots fired by Hjorteland only this one had struck.
