Unique Way OF Securing the Surrender
OF Dangerous Criminals.
In the course of his tour of inspection
through the Caucasus last autumn
Prince Dondukoff-K orsakoff passed close
to the village of Starry Yoort, where
native Colonel was not long previously
murdered out of revenge, and where the
murderers were being screened from the
authorities by the inhabitants. As they
refused to give up the assassins the
= Prince ordered all the inhabitants of the
village to be assembled on his route two
miles of. Here the Prince refused to
accept their greeting of bread and salt,
and rated them right soundly in the
sevO-est terms of the Russian vocab.
ulary. At the same time he ordered
their elders to be arrested on the spot.
and gave them one month in which to
surrender the murderers. If they re-
manned recalcitrant at the end of that
term the severest punishment was to be
lnnlcted. With the usual obstinacy of
the Chechenlis tribes, who continue
their opposition to Russia as long as, il
not longer than, any of the other tribes
OF the Caucasus, the murderers we're not
given up at the end OF the month.
whereupon military execution" was
ordered to be made. At daybreak the
village was surrounded by Gordon of
troops, and all the inhabitants were dis
armed and forbidden ever to carry arms
again. Adetachmento of troops were then
quartered in the village, and /. 200 rubles
was exacted for the benefit of the muir
dered mans family. An elder was also
appointed and sent by the authorities
with salary, to be paid by the village,
OF 600 rubles year. The murderers
have now at last been surrendered, and
the troops consequently withdrawn

THEY FOUND DADDY"
-Four Little Tots Take Long Journey in
Search OF Their Father.

-Four Little Tots Take n Long Journey In
Search OF Their Father.
The following touching scene is de-
scribed concerning four little German
American children who were travelling
alone from one of the Eastern States of
America to the new State of Washing
ton, on the Pacific coast. Owing to
some blunder they were put off at
Walla Walla, more than a hundred
miles from the place they were going
to, and here the kind-hearted station
agent found the eldest girl, only twelve,
crying bitterly, and the others trying to
comfort her. One of them, with arms
twined about her sisters neck, was say
ing: >. 49,
'.Father will soon come, sister. He
don't know we are here yet, but he will
soon come, know he will"
"But we are so hungry" the elder re-
piled. ~.
But" said the sweet angel, patting
her on the back, ''never mind that, sis
ter. 1t won't be long till father will
come, and we will have plenty to eat"
When the agent heard this, and saw
this evidence Of sweet affection, he
asked them: "And are you so hungry,
children"
Eyes, sir; we are starving"
"What! starving children in Walla
Walla! This can not be-" he unused.
And the telephone soon told some one:
"a meal for four starving children,
quick!" A~s = % =.
AS quick as the speediest team at the
station could bring them over to the
city, they were here, and soon sat be-
fore the best there was in the land
And this is their simple story: The
father some time before had come West
to live near Waitsburg, leaving the
mother and children to follow as soon
as he was ready to receive them. But
in the meantime the mother sickened
and suddenly died. Kind friends for
warded the children to the sorrowing
father, but through some mistake they
stopped of at Walla Walla, and al
though the father anxiously awaited
them at Waitsburg, they remained
there from Thursday until Saturday
night without a scrap to eat, sleeping as
best they could on bench and floor,
theie youth and native modesty pre-
venting them from making their con-
dition known, until the elder, worn out
with caring for the little ones, and
weary with watching for the loving
face that never came, and famished
from hunger, broke completely down;
and thus their sad condition became
known. p = -
But ready hands and willing hearts
we're soon found, as is always the case
when the weak and tender are in dis
tress. And when the evening was come,
and the noisy train, with its glare of
light and interior splendor, left the sta
ton, the glad, thankful, yet wondering
children sat amid the soft cushions and
resplendent luxury of the palace car,
with big basket near them containing
more of good things than they ever be-
fore possessed, and were borne swiftly
away northward on their journey, as the
littlest tot of all said, ito find daddy"

A New and Very Valuable Work Jul
RuLlIshe In, IL oil NJ q

A New and Very Valuable Work just
Published in Relation TO Them.
Some time ago Mr.. James Mcdonald Of
this city generously furnished the means
for the publication Of the life work of the
late DR.. Kellogg in relation to West Ameri-
can oaks. Recently a second part of the
work has been published, and in prefa-
tory prepared by Professor George David
son, who was lifelong friend of the late
doctor and took a good deal of interest in hav-
ing placed before the public the work of his
friend, the professor, says: Upon the publ
cation Of the first part of this work. the West
American Oaks Mr.. Mcdonald was i'm
pressed with the necessity of further exam
ination and study of the new species and
arieties mentioned therein. These had
not been known to DR.. kellogg: the sys-
tematlc plan Of collection, investigation and
representation, which was his life work.
being broken by declining health and ad-
verse circumstances.
After few copies of the work had been
sent out, the further distribution was sus-
pended until the new species should be
illustrated, and Mr.. Mcdonald suggested
that special examination should be made to
secure satisfactory specimens. When the
matter had been fully discussed, Professor
Greene volunteered 10 give his vacation for
the summer to field work in the Sierra Ne
vada and in the Rocky Mountains of Colo
RADIO and Montana. Mr.. Mcdonald gener-
ously bore all the expenses of the trip, and
the result has been the verificaton of for
mer species and the acquisitions of new
ones. Professor Greene has since employed
his hours outside of University duties in
the description of all these species, and in
the direction of the drawing by Mr.. George
Hansen"
This addition by Professor Greene makes
the history and photography of the work
teresting additions to works heretofore
published in relation TO forest trees. The
engravings are of the finest, and are beauti-
full representations of the several varieties
OF the oak thought worthy of illustration.

LOTS OF TALK.

Counselor Clarke DccIaims Before the
Circuit Court.
Attorney Alfred Clarke, accompanied by
two young and lovely girls (who act as at
torney's clerks) appeared before Judge
Sawyer yesterday to argue the case of Henry
Christensen, the saloon-keeper who was
refused license by the Police Commission
ers because his place was disOrderly, and
also because he could not obtain the sigma
lures of twelve property owners in his
block to his petition for license, there be-
ing but eleven property owners in the
square. Christensen was arrested for sell
ing liquor without license a writ of
habeas corpus was sued out in the Supreme
Court and aiterward transferred to the
United States Circuit Court.
Attorney Clarke made an argument as
long, rambling, and full of verbal pyro-
technics as his grandil0quent complaints.
Judge Sawyer looked extremely bored, but
the presence of so much female lovelinesS
doubtless prevented him from cutting the
flow of oratory short. At the conclusion of
the long Grafton he took the case under ad-
yisement.
After the Chrisuens en- case was finished
the Strouse and MoorhUuse cases were
taken UP, but rs A. Z. T. Morley had not
filed traverse to the return, the hearing
was postponed to enable bin to do so.
