THE POWER OF JOURNALISM.
The power o. iogrnalisin. when used on the
RICH. side. is immense and almost irresistible.
One Of tine earliest illustrations OF this was in
1910. when the Times exposed n gigantic bank
fraud. which would have ruined thousands.

refreshments in order to check n disastrous

An Old Mans Decisions.

Sanitary Officer Frank today sent to the Wash
ington Asylum an old pensioner named Michael
Hoobin, whose conversation indicated that his
mind was not exactly what it should
be. He imagined that everything in sight
was red, and among other things he
imagined that he had beeh assaulted
by number of red men, who had
cut his underclothing. He also imagined
that q womaa was after him. The sanitary OIL
Ger suspected that his arrangement was only
temporary and that liquor was the cause. If
upon investigation it is found that the mans
mind is permanently affected, steps will be
taken to get him in the insane asylum.

Reference to the Walla Waila Lynching-
A Few Farewell Words Enlis,ments

Brig. Gen. August V, Kautz commanding
the department Of the Columbia. in his gen.
eral report submitted to the Secretary Of
War, says there has been repeated trouble
between the Indians and white settlers
in the Koontnai country, and unless these
Indians provided with an agent serious
trouble will follow when the Great Northern
Railroad rejons building through that
country. General Kautz refers to the
Walla Wallal ching. in which soldiers lynched
the murderer of comrade as an unparalleled
event i'll our military service for which there
can be no palliaton. He regrets
that the civil authorities have been
unable to find any one to punish. Gen. Koutz.
who closes his duties on the active list in few
months, feeingly alludes to the fact that
he entered the army as private
soldier forty-tive years ago and SAYS
his parting advice is to enlist recruits for the
army from the young. ambitious, energetic sons
of patriotic citizens and not from the indolent
and wandering element of the country.

spot about three miles distant, near the

the metal melted. Tstrow did as much
