R. Harding as Poundmaster. At a meeting called especially for the purpose the council last night ar ranged for the purchase of a new, standard size No. 1 Metropolitan fire engine from the American Fire En gine company of New York. A. G. Long, of Portland, western represen tative of the company, was present at the meeting and assisted the mem bers in making a selection. An order for the engine was placed by telegraph last night and it is ex pected to arrive in Walla Walla with in three months. The engine weighs 800 iKHimls and will cost. $6100, plus the freight charges from the East. Three horses will be required to draw it, which will necessitate a widening of the engine house doors. The meeting last night was not fully devoted to the purchase of a fire engine. Since the election of E. R. Harding as poundmaster at a regular meeting held on the 20th of this month, members of the council have had a change of heart and by a vote of 4 to 2 it was decided to reconsider Mr. Harding's election to the office. The motion to reconsider was oppos ed by McLean and Glasford. It has developed that one or two members by giving Mr. Harding a compliment ary vote were instrumental in effect ing his election. Before Mr. Harding can be removed from office it will re quire a five-sevenths vote of the en tire council to declare the office va cant. Ott McKenzie, who formerly held the position is said to be slated for the job again. THEY WILL DON LIVERY. White House Attendants Will Wear Uniforms to Distinguish Them From Guests. Washington, Oct. ;50 —No one will feel more grateful for the new uni forms to be worn by the While House attaches than those who wil] attead the official and private functions there this winter. For years callers and other guests at the executive mansion have boon greeted by men in frock coats and regulation trousers At evening receptions, musicals and other entertainments full evening dress was adopted, and no matter how much a guest wished to address an attache of the house, he dared not approach one of the ushers for fear of making a mistake and insulting one of the president's guests. Ac cordingly Secretary Loeb, advised by the president and Mrs. Roosevelt, de termined to make a change to uni forms for the ushers. No small de tail of the White House menage has been so troublesome to determine as that of selecting the uniforms for the ushers at the mansion. Not belonging to the police force they are not entitled to the uniforms worn by 'he regular guards at the White House and not belonging to the army, not even the uniform of a petty officer could he worn. Great fear was expressed by the president 'hat the mistake of giving the men the appearance of flunkies might lie made, and at last, after the greatest possible thought, plain blue uniforms with silver buttons were selected for both ushers and messengers, only differing slightly in cut and embel lishments. Every one is wondering why the change was not made before Mississippi Steamer Burns. St. Louis. Oct. 2!i.—The steamer Lotus Sims, one of the finest and fastest on the Mississippi was burned to the water's edge at its moorings this morning. The crew had a nar row escape.

He had risked his life to rescue the fair maid from a watery grave, and. of course, her father was duly grate ful. "Young man." he said. "I can never thank you sufficiently for your hero ic act. You incurred an awful risk in saving my only daughter." "None whatever, sir,' replied the amateur lifesaver. "I am already married." GIVING UP. "Does your husband ake your ad vice?" said the inquisitive relative. ""Yes. indeed," answered young Mrs. Torkins. "I told him months ago that he ought to give up playing the races, and he informs me that he has been giving up ever since." GRAIN SAMPLES NOW READY. State Grain Commission Is Now Pre pared to Furnish Them on Application. The state grain commission met yesterday afternoon in the office of State Grain Inspector Arrasmith and made up the standard samples of grain, says the Tacoma Ledger. These may be obtained on application to the state grain inspector. Owing to the rather late harvest, coupled with the early meeting of the commission, which was held last month, to establish the grades, it was impossible to make up the samples until yesterday. Sufficient samples of the different products, wheat, bar ley, corn, oats, rye and flaxseed not having been received by the commis sion. While there is no change in the grades this year as compared with last, State Grain Inspector Arrasmith says that the samples this year are of better quality, weighing more. Es pecially is this true of the f. a. q. sam ple, which is a mixture of different varieties of grain obtained from all parts of the state. •'I think the samples are a decided improvement over last year," said Mr. Arrasmith. "They weigh better, and have a cleaner appearance. This, however, is not saying anything against last year's quality." The samples are available upon ap plication to the state grain inspect or. Dealers, growers, warehousemen and others resident out of the city who desire samples must send 10 cents with each application to defray the express charges. At a meeting yesterday D. F. And erson of Rosalia, was absent, Mr. Ar rasmith and W. H. Reed being the only members present. Murderer Sam Clemens Located. It is reported that Samuel Clemens, who shot George Behind five years ago this fall, near Pampa, has been heard of and that he is with a band of moonshiners that United States marshals are endeavoring to round up in Tennessee. Nearly everybody in this section is familiar with the cir cumstances of the shooting. Clemen's daughter was keeping company with a young man in the neighborhood, to which her father objected. One night the couple, together with George Boland and another young lady start ed in a two-seated rig for a dance. Clemens laid in wait for them. In tending to shoot his daughter's beau, but in the dark he mistook his man ar.d shot young Boland dead. He made his escape and up to this time has never been heard of. —Washtucna Enterprise.

They Couldn's Understand Why Pres ident's Son Attended Public School. Washington, Oct. 3" —Members of the Mosely educational commission of England who have been investiga ting the educational system of the District of Columbia say they "have a better idea of the meaning of Amer ican democracy" since they learned that Quentin Roosevelt, son of the President of the United States, is a public school boy and imbibes wis dom in the same class with the sons of the butchers, the bakers and the candlestick makers of Washington. Superintendent Clark of the public schools, who has the distinguished visitors in tow, happened to mention in his talk on the educational system of the district that the president's son was a pupil of the Force public school. The educational experts looked puzzled for awhile, then one of them asked: "But, Mr. Clark, how is it possible under the American plan to keep the Force public school select and to see that only children of approved char acter and exceptional social standing are brought into contact with the son of the President of the United States?" When the visitors were assured by Mr. Clark that there was no attempt at exclusiveness at the school attend ed by Quentin Roosevelt, the visitors an looked surprised, and it took some time for them to adjust their conser vative point of view to the remark able condition of affairs. The Judge Was Right. Judge—You say you got that black eye as the result of a blow by the de fendant Prosecuting Witness—Yes, sir. Judge—Tell me the circumstances under which he struck you.

THE NOVEMBER NATIONAL Full of Strong Stories, Timely Arti cles, Book and Stage Talk, Public Affairs—All Freely ilfustrated During August of this year Rev. Peter Maed arena. Grim never knocks out an opponent but he has fought many of the hard est hitters in the profession, and has never been knocked out himself. He is an iron man. His ribs and his sturdy jaw seem able to withstand blows that would dent a piece of ar mor plate. When Grim fought Bob Fitzsim mons every man in the place thought that at last the Italian would go to the canvass to stay. Fitzsiminons hammered and punched away at every spot on the Italian's anatomy from his belt up, knocking him down 17 times, yet Joe Grim came up smiling and ready to continue. His feature? were covered with his own blood. He was spattered from head to foot, and the crimson fluid was smeared over Fitz in the mixups. Now and then the Italian staggered as he rose, for an instant the strength seemed to have left his limb.-, but he recovered in a second. His recuperative powers wcii' wonderful. There is a story about Joe Grim thai illustrates the toughness of his body. A few weeks ago while Grim was training, a visitor at his quarters said that Pob Fitzsimmons' solar plexus punch would soon do up the Italian. Grim went away, and in a few minutes returned with a heavy I pickaxe handle. He passed it to the j visitor, then holding his aims above this head, invited the scoffing stran ger to swing the club and hit him across the stomach. The stranger I complied with a will. Grim was knocked to the tloor, but jumped up "That doesn't hurt." he said. I Alter the fight with Fitzsimmons the club physician visited Grim in the I dressing rooms, expecting to find him suffering from the terrible punches delivered by Fitz. Grim was standing erect, taking a sponge bath. "Are you hurt? asked the doctor. "Haven't a sore spot on me, except my nose," replied Grim, and to prove his statement he hammered his own fist vigorously against the stomach and sides that Fitz had just been battering. THE OLD TIME They Were Sweethearts in Childhood But Waited Long to Wed. Minneapolis. Minn.. Oct. 3") —In- firm and white headed with age, Gun ner Halsten and Ingar Nelson, lovers since childhood, sought and found wedded bliss at the county court house this morning. The antiquated bridegroom registered* his age at 72 years, while the gray headed but smiling bride addmitted having lived through 6ixty summers. Both of the parties, who are of Scandinavian origin, have been married before, but after years of lonliness each turned to the childhood love for comfort and solace in their declining age. The two worshipers at Hymen's alter appeared at the county clerk's office shortly after noon today, where upon application they were given the necessary license and were directed to Judge Brooks, who performed the ceremony, making them man and wife The sacred rite was conducted by the court with unusual solemnity, but was attended with no other unusual circumstance to indicate that the con tracting parties were other than of the ordinary marrying age. Appar ently perfectly contented with life and their part of it. the newly wed de pair paid the necessary fee and departed from the courtroom and pac ded pair paid the necessary fee and two are residents of Hennepin coun ty, having lived on neighboring farms for many years. Now that love and law have made them one. their farms will probably be united and their lives wil] glide peacefully and happily to the end. MAY DOLLIE AND HER "RED."

Washington, Oct. 30.—Startling revelations of the inability of some of the best United States battleships to fight their turret guns, and even their broadside batteries, in a heavy sea, are made in a report in which tear Admiral Bradford, the recently relieved chief of the bureau of equip ment of the navy department, dis sents from the designs for the 13,000 ton battleships Idaho and Mississippi. The designs were approved by the naval board of construction. The ele vation of their heavy gun port sills above the load water line is so little that in a heavy sea they must be closed and the guns thereby rendered inoperative. Some members of this board contend that foreign battleships labor under equal disadvantages, but the fact that the thirteen and eight inch guns on the Kearsarge, the flag ship of the North Atlantic squadron, were worthless during sixty-one days of last summer's cruise will be a dis agreeable message to the bulk of the American people who believe the American battleships can come off victorious in a tight with anybody and anywhere. Here is the salient portion of the report, which was made public by permission of Secretary Moody Speed is Necessary.

A Government Ruling On Entries for Investments and Future Sales. Many who are awaiting patents from the United States government on timber lands, under the stone and timber act. have become greatly alarmed over what they considered an adverse ruling against persons who entered the land simply for specula tion or investment. In California, where there are a great many more such persons than here, the excite ment was very great as many feared that the money which they had paid In would be forfeited or that those who had not "proved up" would not bo permitted to do so. In order to find out just where he stood Charles \V. Strother, an attorney at Yreka, Cal, wrote to the government regard ing the matter, giving all the facts in his case. He stated plainly that he had no intention of living on the land or in lividually making any personal use >f the timber thereon, but that the :mtry was made by him for his use and benefit, in the sense that he in tended to hold the same until he could he could sell to advantage at some time in the future. He stated he desired to know whether there wa s a prospect of his patent's being held up by the department and his money forfeited in case he should proceed to prove up. The reply was highly satisfactory to Mr. Strother and will allay the fears of the many interested persons in this state: Washington, D. C, Oct. 8, 1903.— Charles W. Strother, Lawyer. Yreka: Dear Sir—Referring to your letter of 2!* th ultimo, relative to the suspen sion of your timber and stone entry, you are advised that if you make a satisfactory showing that your entry was made for your own use and bene fit and there is nothing more to im peach your good faith than the mere fact that you made the entry for in vestment, with intent to sell the land at some future indefinite time and in this manner realize a profit on the money Invested, this office holds that such an entry is not made in viola tion of law. arid should be passed to patent.

OLD PENSIONERS ARE PASSING AWAY Estimates Indicate Muster Roll Re duced 50 Per Cent In Five Years Washington, Oct. 31. —Uncle Sam's enormous pension roll will be reduced 50 per cent, during the next five or six years, according to an official of the pension bureau. As an indication that, there is con siderable basis for this prediction the commissioner of pensions in his esti mates for next year has. asked for only $136,800,000, whch is about $1,- --500,000 less than the appropriation for the current year. The commissioner of pensions has estimated that in the year 1905 at least 50,000 old sol diers would be lost to the roll by death and other causes. He adds that because of the comparatively small number of new claims before the bureau he does not believe the payments wil] be as large a$ in the past. Each year, naturally, there is a big falling off in payments and during the next five or six years the roll will diminish fast. The largest pension payments in one year amounted ap proximately to $185,000,000, and for the fiscal year ending 1902 the dis bursements were $138,000,000. A reduction in the clerical force of the pension office is anticipated he cause of the diminution in the amount of work. The pension office new has more clerks than are necessary and the commissioner has adopted a poli cy of leaving vacancies unfilled. Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deaf ness, and that, is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lin ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect heating, and when it is entirely closed. Deaf ness is the result, and unless the in flammation can he taken out and thta tube restored to Its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten. are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an In flamed condition of the mucous ser vices.

WEATHER. Tonight fair: warmer Saturday; Increasing cloudiness. AT FIFTEEN DOLLARS PER. The experts on the county's books are still at work on an unlimited con tract at the rate of $15 a day. They have been employed continuously Since last April, seven months, and there is no sign that they intend to quit soon. They know a good thing when they see it. It is for them to Bay when thej have finished their work. The commissioners have been paying them from month to month and have thus practically released! them from their bond. Their pay has now run up to about $2700 and it will amount to about $4500 by the end of the year. What the taxpayers are to get for this great outlay of money is not yet clear. There have been rumors of big disclosures of crookedness, but when these rumors have been run down it was found 'hat nothing but a few trivial cleajcal errors had been found. The former officials whose accounts are under investigation are still resi dents of the county ami none of thorn shows the least concern about the tinning en of the exports' searchlight. As a matter of fact there are ex pert accountants in Walla Walla who could have been engaged at a rate of a day to do all that has been done by imported experts. Moreover if home talent hail been engaged the work would have been finished within two months. The employment of ex perts at $1,1 a day for the greater part of a year lg an inexcusable piece of extravagance that should bo stopped Rt once. This county, as well as the city of Walla Walla, is getting an overdose of experts. Recently the city paid a man of no particular reputation $500 for the information that there is an abundance of water in Mill creek for a gravity system and that the water runs down hill. Later a journeyman blacksmith from the East who called himself an expert fireman was en-1 gaged to teach the veteran firemen of| Walla Walla how to handle their ap paratus. Next an expert i s to be im-j ported to teach the veteran engineer! of the fire department hew to run the new |6,100 engine just purchased. It will now be in order to import an expert dog catcher to teach the new poundmaster to be elected at the next meeting of the council how to snare dogs and to kill them most expedi tiously. This is a great age for experts but it is a little tough on the taxpayers to be under the necessity of paying for them in every department of the city and county government. When Frank Nalder was a member of the board of county commissioners he exported all the books of the coun ty and everything was kept in apple pie order. Nalder did more than can be expected of the average member of the board and much more than he was paid to do. However, there are plenty of good accountants living here who could do all the exporting that the county or the city needs.

Miller Grand Piano Pur chased by Whitman College. The Miller Grand Piano re cently sold by us to Whitman College takes the place of honor in the concert room, Memorial Building, where it will be heard to good advan tage from time to time, espec ially when eminent pianists visit this leading institution of learning. The faculty of Whitman College emphasize progression and demand the very best, hence their purchase of a Henry F. Miller Grand Piano to take the place of a Chicker ing Grand bought recently by them. This Chickering Grand, although a very good piano, and the best product of the Boston factory, was a disap pointment musically, falling far short in response and tone when put to the tests exacted at Whitman. With the Chickering sup planted at Whitman and the Stein way at St. Paul's, we proclaim the Henry F. Miller the king of all pianos. At the World's Columbian Exposition the Henry F. Miller Qrand was one of three or lour makes (only) used in concerts in Music Hall with Theodore Thomas' orchestra. We are factory representa- tives and can furnish you these jexcellent pianos on satis-/ factory terms as to quality (and price.

THE EVENING STATESMAN FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1903. AMUSEMENTS. "REUBEN IN NEW YORK." "Reuben in New York," a musical farce comedy, will be the attraction at the opera house next Monday. Un like most offerings of a similar nature this comedy lias a well defined plot. Reuben Sprout goes on a trip to New York and calls on his niece (Mrs. E. Z. Mark) unexpectedly; before she has a chance to acquaint her hus band of the visit, he learns that she has been entertaining a man and he becomes furiously jealous. He imme diately enlists the services of Spike McCue. a cab driver, to run down (as he thinks) the destroyer of his happy home. That starts the ball of come dy lolling and it never stops until the curtain is rung down after three hours of merriment. Complications follow each other in rapid succession, interspersed with songs, dances, specialties and ensembles of the live liest order. A Musical Treat. The best musical treat of the sea son wag the entertainment given in the opera house in this city last Sat urday evening by the Knox-Kantner Concert, company. Mr. Knox, in his famous impersonations, never falls to draw liberal applause and encores from the audience whenever he ap pears. The piano playing of Profes sor Kantner also deserves special mention, as he plays with so much feeling, and his technique is so per fect as to please the most critical. Wasco (Oregon) News.

"I am very glad to express my ap preciation of the excellent concert given by the Knox-Kantner Concert company in the college chapel last evening. It was the best entertain ment of the kind we have ever had and the audience was most enthusias tic. The best indication of their ap preciation is the fact that we im mediately made arrangements for the return of the company later. I most heartily commend the concert both from the musical point of view and with reference to the excellent im personations of Mr. Knox. "Very truly yours. "STEPHEN B. L. PENROSE."

YOUTHFUL WIZARD I Precocious Boy of a Sew York Village WILLIAM fin MIS HIS M»E HW* He Built an Automobile and Then Converted It Into a Steamboat. The Wizard of Hadison, N. J., and -ie faithful man, Friday, known lo emOj as Soup, are worth special men jmt Madison is not. a town that has tvtr attracted any particular atten tion, except on one occasion two :?ea.rs ai;o, when a flood washed up tfee bodies in one of its oldest ceme aa Notwithstanding its seeming UHsaasplcnousness the town has a •vizard"—one William Webb Davis, son of William Webb Davis, a boJesale merchant of New York. although only 15 years old, the Wizard of Madison has succeeded in ujcomplishing two rather remarkable bines. He has invented and operated t automobile with a direct driver, nl he has navigated a steamboat of his own built on the waters of the Passaic river as high up as New Perhaps the value of these feats will be overlooked by the casual read unless ii is ex] Laiued that all the uobiles which are in use today pen. Ed witli a clutch, and that a venter has ever been able to put i the market a car with an abse nt, direct driver. The feat of run- Bg a sidewhee] steamboat on the) fessaic river as high up as New! Providence is remarkable because of the very shallow water there,. In the language of i lie wizard, the fish in Loose waters have to stand on their heads in order to dampen their gills." 'ladison never had an idea until .as-i summer thai it contained a nat ural born Fulton-Edison. The news loaned out when the Eagle, its weekly paper, put in a new printing press. Thx engine which was designed to run -Jib press would not develop sufficient power, and the efforts of all the me cbanica] engineers in the town could not make it do any better. Finally zhe- wizard, who had just put on long trousers and who is still a "prep" at _ht Stevens institute, volunteered hi's services, and within 24 hours the Baeie's new engine was developing enough power, so the wizard's under study, Soup, says, to not only run off ?he entire edition of the paper and -lo all the job work required of it, but also, to beat and light the town —had t ever been called upon. Shortly after establishing his repu tation in this fashion, as a consulting engineer, the wizard and his friend 3oup came to the conclusion that it was about time Madison supported an automobile. Taking the duty upon uhemselves, they located an automo bile factory in a shed connected with the Davis stable. A dry goods box was secured for a body. Steam gener ated by gasoline was settled upon as the power, and a boiler was made of a piece of wrought iron piping eight inches long. This pipe was capped both ends and four tubes were in serted traversely by boring holes in the sides of the boiler. So far as the wizard knows his system of piping wan original. When he had his engine completed ac- rigue,i u a miming gear with a bicycle chain and sprocket wheel at tached to Die rear axle. The wheels were taken from a toy wagon and a gasoline stove burner was used at i'-st to generate steam. Later wood was used, because the inventor's Bands ran on. When all was ready Soup gave the car a shove and she shot out into Main street '.'ike a regular red devil. Madison's leading srocer happened to be in the way. and he narrowly escaped being run down, for which he threatened suit. The trial trip was such a success the Wizard and Soup ux>k daily runs on the roads about Madison, going frequently two or three miles, and in the course of a week the "Coffin" which was what everybody called the machine caused no less than a dozen horses to run away. Enough litigation was propos ed by the surrounding farmers to keep 'he Wizard's family estate tied up for alnmt a generation, and then he decided to turn the disturber into a steamboat. After being finished in the stable she was scut to New Providence on a friendly farmer's wagon and launch cd. Like the Coffin, whose engine she contained, the Ark rem. Gasoline is used to genera*her and she is geared very low, so her half horse power engine devlopa, the Wizard -aleulates, about one horsepower. -3he is 12 feet long, three feet six inches beam and carries four passen gers if she isn'i leaking too much. Soup is the only human being aside from the Wizard who has enough confidence in her to become a passenger. He and the Wizard take frequent trips on the river, and she seems to work all right now, but if the gasoline burner, which is a treacherous looking affair at its best, ever has a misunderstanding with the steam boiler, it will be necessary to rescue the remaining portions of the Wizard and Soup with a boat hook. The Wizard, it is quite evident, gets his genius from his mother, who is one of the leaders in Madison. She is well known in all the women's clubs and in the local golf club. Aside from being an expert golf play er she has written several songs. One of the most popular is known in Essex county by the title of "Dearest." It starts out: "Dearest, you are my heart's desire; my love, my star, my light (or delight, as the singer may prefer). You are what my heart re quires," and so on. The music is by A. M. C. Devitalis. Mrs. Davis is quite proud of her in ventive son, and encourages him to go even further with his mechanical explorations than Mr. Davis thinks necessary in order that he may be fully "brought out." Mr. Davis, for example, has an automobile, and frequently when he returns home from business and goes to the stable to get the machine to take Mrs. Davis tor a spin, he finds that the Wizard and Soup have it all apart getting pointers. The remarkable thing, 'hough, is that so far they have al ways put the car together again, and it is still in good shape for ordinary family use. In fact, the family was out riding the other day when the machinery broke down. Luckily the Wizard was along. Mr. Davis knows very little about his car. The young man took off his coat and went to work. I' took him an hour, but he finally remedied the trouble and the machine ran home in good shape. The Wizard and his friend Soup are now figuring on turning the Ark, which is a sidewheeler, into a twin screw or propeller boat, and if they succeed in doing this they purpose to take a long trip down the Passaic river. Soup's family name is Clarence i Conley, and he and the Wizard have been so closely associated in these In ventions that should cruel fate some day envelop the Wizard in steam and put him out of commission, Madison would still not be entirely bereft of a genius. WON'T OPPOSE MR. ROOSEVELT Wall Street Promises to be Good in Return for Certain Promises. Washington, Oct. 30 —Assurances have been received by the president and his political manager*, from men who control in financial matters, that there will be no opposition from that source to Mr. Roosevelt's nomination next year. These assurances are the result of a number of conferences! which have been held between repub lican friends of the' president and the money kings during the last few weeks. According to one of the men who took part in the conferences, there is something that smacks of a trade in the arrangement. The financial in terests are to give support, both mor al and monetary, to the republican nominee. In return, the president and his political managers have prom ised that there will bo ample protec tion given the present tariff law dur ing the next administration and! that the president's support will be- en listed in behalf of the financial legis lation which is so much desired by the men who, until recently, have been opposing Mr. Roosevelt. According to the same informant, these assurances on the part of the financiers were not entirely voluntary They held off as loiig as there ap peared a ray of hope for President Roosevelt's defeat in next, year's con vention. When they determined that it was useless to longer think of op posing his nomination they sought out his political managers and made the best bargain possible under the circumstances.

Highland Light, Mass., Oct. 30— Fourteen members of the crew of the fishing schooner Dawson City, which was driven ashore in a northeast gale yesterday, were rescued by the crew of the Race Point life saving station in one of the most spectacular per formances ever seen on the coast. The Dawson City with Captain O'Neal and a crew of eighteen men, left Gloucester Saturday afternoon. The heavy gale forced the schooner ashore shortly after midnight. Not daring to attempt a landing through the surf, Captain O'Neal sent four men in a dory seaward around Race Point to Provincetown, where they arrived after a night's trying experience. In the meanwhile the schooner was sighted by the life sav ers of the Point Race station. The surf boat was launched through a sea that threatened to overturn it and gained the side of the stranded vessed. Nine of the men sprang from the decks to the surf boat as a boiling sea rolled over the gunwale. The men clung for their lives, while the life savers pulled steadily at the oars. Only by the utmost caution was a landing made. Again the lifeboat was headed through the surf, but before the boat had drawn away from the strong un dertow a great sea filled it. Captain Fisher by a great effort succeeded in bringing the surf boat's head back to the wind, but then a giant wave larger than the other one completely swamped the boat. It struck the steering oar from the captain's grasp and hurled him far out into the sea. .Men, boat and oars were thrown on to the beach in a mass. The mortar and breeches bony ap paratus of the Massachusetts Hu mane society happened to be located near by. This was quickly set up and a line sent over the vessel. The remainder of the crew, five in num ber, were brought ashore by this means. AN OUTDOOR CHAMPION. The November issue of Sports Afield fully sustains that magazine's reputation for rarely interesting read ing matter and bright newsy gossip for the sportsman guild. The frontis piece—a scene of darkey life on the old plantation—lends added interest to one of S. D. Barnes's inimitable southern stories. Dr. T. M. Bridges of Idaho writes of an Indian rabbit drive; while, in "Labbit and Old Sank." the forceful Dan de Foe tells a tale of frontier adventure as he alone can tell it. "Snow Bound on the Summit" is a true account of the experiences of Billy Dunbar's team ing outfit while imprisoned at an ele vation of 12,000 feet by an historic Coloracio snowstorm. Thos. H. Fraser tells of a humorous camping experi ence in southern California, and Clar ence A. Murch of Nebraska writes of the visit of the "Pilgrims" to clear lake, in quest of Mr. Black Bass and Family. In Key Notes appear the merry features of The Man with the Typewriter in a medley of nonsense and timely criticism. In addition the various departments treating of the game news, fishing, natural history, shot gun and rifle, together with sev eral pages of spirited! editorial cora mment make this Issue of the Sports Afield an unusually good number. Owing to the thorough %-holesomerress of both its read ing and advertising pages, the magazine is a great favorite with the entire family—a pleasing feature being the department entitled Our Young Sportsmen.

Alliance, 0., Oct. 30.—One of the! fiercest class fights in the history of Mount Union college took place yes terday. Unlike most affairs of this kind, it had the acquiescence of the professors, two of them acting as re ferees, while the college vice-presi dent gave the boys permission to use the campus for their battle royal. The fracas started when the 'preps' who outnumber ail the other class men put together, placed their pen nant on the chapel building and pro ceeded to guard it. In an attempt of the older classmen to take it down the stairs were broken and the col lege building damaged. The vice president told them to go to the campus and fight for thirty minutes. They did so, while two of the instructors acted as referees. Twenty students were badly hurt, not seriously. The girls, armed with hat pins, took part. As the "preps" held the pennant till time was called they were declared the victors. NO ROOM APPARENT.

GOLD BASIS FOR CHINA. State Department Publishes Report of Committee on International Exchange. Washington, Oct. 30—The report of the commission on international ex change which has just been made public by the state department, de clares that the representatives of the foreign powers have almost unani mously agreed to the adoption of a gold standard currency for the silver nations. This commission was ap pointed by President Roosevelt upon a request from the governments of Mexico and China. Upon the suject of the introduction of a uniform gold standard system into China there was unanimous agreement that such a system would be desirable and advantageous both to China and the gold standard coun tries which have large commercial dealings with her. Upon the question, however, whe ther the gold standard should be es tablished at the beginning or should come after the introduction of a uni- H~ Hr H* t i"M't'l"l' i l"l'Hook entitled The Living Temple."

Fagan Scott, convicted of assault with a deadly weapon at the last ses sion of the superior court and sen tenced to pay a fine of $400 and costs amounting to $51, will serve his fine out in the county jail as he originally Intended. The garnishment suit brought by the state to collect the fine out of the $500 cash bond Scott placed with the clerk to insure his appearance at his trial was decided by Judge Brents this morning in favor of the defendant. The bond money will be returned to Scott immediately. The suit was directed at Clerk Hauerbach as custodian of Scott's bond. Scott preferred to serve the fine out in the county jail and began his sentence two weeks ago. If he serves out the full fine he will secure his liberty some time next March. Representative James E.

PLANT MAY COME Charles Holt Will Visit This City Next Week. WILL THEN LOOK OVER SITUATION Has Just Returned From European Trip and Will Return Home Via This City. "The Holt Manufacturing Company has not by any means abandoned the idea of erecting a branch plant in Walla Walla," said Ben Holt, local manager for the company this morn ing. "Charles W. Holt, vice presi dent and general manager of the com pany, together with my brother, P. E. Holt, special mechanical engineer, will be mi Walla Walla some time next week to look over the situation. Vice President Holt has just returned from an extended European trip and will return to Stockton by the way of Spokane and Walla Walla. While here he will investigate thoroughly the field for a branch plant, which I confidently expect will be established in this city." Data gathered by the Commercial Club will be laid before Mr. Holt while here and a special meeting of the Club may be called to go over the matter thoroughly with him. It is believed that if a special effort was made the company could be induced to come to Walla Walla with its branch plant, Everett has been a strong competitor against Walla Walla, but situated in the heart of the wheat growing district, this city is the natural seat of such an enter prise as the company proposes to establish and very little encourage ment might induce the company to come to Walla Walla.

DEATH SENTENCE MAY BE COMMUTED "Montana Jack" Reynolds May Es cape Hanging for the McNally Murder. Seattle, Oct. 30.—A petition to the governor asking him to commute the sentence of Jack Reynolds, who shot and killed William McNally at Wel lington last fall, from death to life imprisonment has been signed by Su perior Judge Bell, before whom the case was tried and who imposed sen tence, and by Deputy Prosecuting At torneys Todd and Craven, who repre sented the state. It will be taken to Olympia at once. He was found guilty of murder in the first degree, greatly to the sur prise of the court and to the prosecut ing attorney's office, as evidence in troduced tended clearly to show a strong element of self-defense, and it ti-os; tViiniitrVit thai iniirdor in tho Sf'C ond degree would be the vrdict. He was sentenced to be hung by Superior Judge Bell shortly after his trial and at that time notice of appeal was given, but later dismissed as he had no money with which to prose cute it. He is a man of about 45 years of age and very popular with his fel low prisoners in the county jail.. The circumstances of the killing were somewhat unusual. The evi dence showed that Reynolds had shot his victim in front of a saloon, no quarrel having ensued immediately prior, and there being no apparent provocation. It was shown that for weeks Reynolds had been hounded by his neighbors, especially McNally, and that they had frequently threat ened to kill him if he did not leave town, for what reason is not known. Reynolds has always claimed that when he fired at McNally he did so because he thought the latter was about to shoot him, and, in fact, had threatened to do so on sight. Reynolds is not married and has few friends in this part of the coun try.

PROVISION HELD TO BE DIRECTORY Judgment of Superior Court Judge Not Nugatory If Not Rendered in Ninety Days. Olympia, Oct. 30.—That the consti tutional provision whereby any judge of the superior court must render a judgment within 90 days after the submission of a case, is mainly direct ory, is the ruling made by the su preme court today in the case of Or lando Demaris, respondent, vs. Oliver P. Barker, as executor of the estate of Lorena Barker, deceased, et al., appellants. The court holds that the failure of the lower court to render a judgment within 90 days does not make his decision nugatory. To so interpret the constitutional provision would he to add to the law'-s delay, to prevent which the provision was especially framed. The judgment is accordingly affirmed in the above case, in which the respondont was successful in re straining the appellant from selling some land in Walla Walla county be longing to -Mrs. Barker's estate. The case of Emery E. Hoskins against the same parties, being a similar suit, is also sustained. NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL CONFERENCE TODAY.
