"EVENINGS AT SCHOOLo

Some time ago We had the pleasure
OF reading Evenings at School," by
Miss Clara Marshall, and wrote a
bgief review of the delightful little
volume.
Since then we have heard the book
most highly commended, and the fol-
lowing letter from one of the most emf.
nent divnes of the State speaks for
itself:
"ln this our day of SO much un-
wholesome, not to say immoral, book
making, 1t is most refreshing to light
upon anything so entirely unexception,
able and morally beautiful and help.
tul as Evenings at School"
1t is a most admirable little book in
every way. Its careful examination
has given me so much pleasure, and so

cies in intoxicating, in most pleasing
and interesting narrative, the highest
moral principles and the most refining

even those of more mature years can
not fail to find both pleasure and profit
in the perusal Of f"Evenings at School, y

The Baltimore Sun thinks that NJ
Cle7eland favors an extra session of
Congress, provided he can be assured
that 1t would be short. The idea seems .
to be that the President-elect would
like to have the House fully organized,
the committees &c. appointed so that
work might begin at once With the re-
ginning of the regular session. But
who can give such assurance? Let 10
nave au extra session anyhow and
charge the republican tariff and cleo
ton laws with an unsheathed damascus
blade. This is what the people expect
and this is what the democratic mar, ~
promised. Go along and do it, and
then there will be no cause to render
excuses in the next ca npaign.

REPORT OF INTER.STATE COM
MISSION

The report of the later State Com
merce Commission, transmitted to
Congress thi, week, states that "many
railroad mans gers of the his hest stand
ing now concede the necessity of gov
ernment regulation and avow them
selves in favor of such further enact
ments as will make that regulation
effective" The report further says:
"The character of proceedings
before the commission indicates that
the main causes of complaint arose
from determinations and preferences
in rates and facilities, and not from
rates unre asonable in themselves.
On the subject of judicial construc-
tion the report says, hat judicial in
depreciation has limited the meaning
of the law and ascribed to it an intent
not contemplated when it was passed
But the etfec. of these decisions have
been greatly exaggerated; judicial con.
struction has not invalidated the es-
sential features ofthe statute, nor con-
demned the general principle upon
which it was founded. and only in
respect to appliances for carrying its
main purpose into effect has the law
been weakened by the judgment of the
courts The report recommends several
amendments, and in regard to the pro-
posed amendment, by which pooling is
to be permitted, the report says:
"The attempt to secure the public
from discrimination, extOrtion, favor
itism, undue preference and prejudice,
and to secure to every citizen just ard
reasonable rates and equal and exact
treatment in all transportation mat
tiers, is the very essence, spirit and
purpose of the law, and it would be
vain to protect carriers from compe-
titive attacks upon each other if the
general public cannot be protected
from the greater evils above enumer.
ated. If the law is to be amended.
the two classes of amendment should
go hand in hand. Until the law is
made strong as its trainers intended in
the matters of fair and stable rates.
equal treatment and suppression Of all
tavoritism, it is idle to seek to protect
carriers, whose immunity, under au
thoritative constructions of the law,
from restrictions intended by Congress
seems one of the remarkable facts in
current history"

expressions of deep regret. We have
known Mr.. Wilcox for some time and

Exposition he looked bright and happy
and appeared to have a long life Of

WASHINGTON HARBoR LINES.
They Must Be Approved by the Federal
Government.

OLYMPIA, April 1.-[Special. IA board
of United States engineers, consisting of
Colonel Mendell. of San Francisco, and
Captain Symons and Major Handbury, of
Portland, arrived in this city today to
confer with the state harbor line COM
mission, which will meet here tomorrow,
relative to the Olympia harbor lines. The
visit is the result of Colonel w. F. Pros
ser's conferences with the secretary of war
at Washington City, and is made for the
purpose ofpromoting harmonious relations
between the two boards. Congress has
conferred power upon the secretary of war
to establish harbor lines, and the national
government asserts its right to control
harbor matters, so that it is desirable that
there should be no conflict of plans. There
is no probability that there will be any
disagreement here, however, and the
United States will undoubtedly agree to
adopt the lines established by the state
board.
In reply to an inquiry Colonel Mendell
said this evening that the board had been
ordered by Secretary of War Elkins to in
spect the harbors of Olympia, Vancouver
and Bellingham bay, to ascertain if the
harbor lines were satisfactory. The board,
he said, had intended to proceed to Bell
ingham bay on this trip, but had decided
to postpone the visit to Whatcom county
to a date more satisfactory to the state
commission. He felt sure that the two
boards would work in entire harmony.

WASHINGTON CRY. April 1.-Charles d.
Drake. late chief justice of the United

years old. His death was wholly unex-
pected. as it was believed he was in his
usual health, though he had an attack of
the grip recently.
Last evening Drake walked to the West
Presbyterian church to attend services.
From the church he went home and re-
tired for the night. He seemed better
than at any time since the attack of the
grip. This morning when called he did
not respond. and when his room door was
opened it was found he was dead

HIS CORPSE IN THE SNOW.
A Missing Oregon Settler Supposed to
Have Perished In the Drifts.

PORTLAND, Aprit 1.-[Special. w. D.
Maddorn. Michigan lumberman, who
had been working at a mill on the Colum-
bia river, went into the foothills of the
Cascades near the base of Mount Hood
last fall to make the necessary improve
ments on q claim he had taken up, and
since that nothing has been heard or seen
of him. A week ago the lumbermen with
whom he had worked raised fund Of 500
and employed Joseph Bates to search for
the missing man. He returned
yesterday and reported finding Mad
dorn's cabin with the tools and
everything in it just as he left them in
December last to go five miles away to
build a cabin for another settler. a heavy
snowstorm was raging at the time and
settlers in the vicinity have known for
some time that Maddorn was missing and
have no doubt that he perished.
In following the route he went Bates
found place where he had TO climb round
high bluff to reach his destination. II is
supposed he fell down this bluff, and as
soon as the snow, which is now five feet
deep. has disappeared search will be made
for his remains. Maddorn's son arrived
here today from the East to search for his
father, but, from the news brought back
by Bates, has no hope of finding him
alive

band OF horse thieves that have been ter
rorizing citizens in Whitman and Stevens
counties
According to Young's story they came
upon Allen, one of the gang, near Fruit
land and attempted to arrest him. Allen
quietly drew a revolver and shot Spencer.
Before he dropped Spencer drew a re-
volver and shot Allen in the body. Young
did not wait to see if either of the wounded
men had received fatal shots, but hurried
back to Davenport, arriving here at 5 a. m.
today. A party including Dr. Whitney, of
this place, set out to find the wounded
men. Word came back from them this
morning that Spencer was shot in the left
arm between the shoulder and elbow.
The wound is not considered serious, and
was dressed by DR.. Dahl, the post surgeon
at Fort Spokane. and Spencer is now ON
the way TO Fort Spokane. Allen was shot
in the left breast below the nipple and died
this morning at O'Clock.
The dead desperate was one of the most
reckless of a well-organized gang of horse
thieves who have been committing depre-
dations throughout the Palouse and Big
wanted at Lewiston to stand trial for per-
jury. Deputy Sheriff Young states that
Allen, when he found he could not live,
made confession duplicating the whole
band of horse ''rustlers" who have been
raiding the country for years. Officers
will Immediately begin war on the gang,
which includes men who were never
thought to be in the business.

The Cincinnati steamboat Fire.

CINCINNATI, April 1.-So far the only
person positively known TO have lost her
life through the burning of the steamer
Golden Rule last night is Nellie Maloney.
The following persons are believed to be
dead: Frank T. Riley, second mate; Mrs.
O'Leary, cook; Buck Warner, Billy Madi-
son and Mac Holman. stevedores. Six to
fifteen roustabouts perished in the Golden
Rules hold. One who escaped says nine
were there when he left. The pro5abili-
ties are that the total number who per-
ished is seven or eight. Mrs. Rev. George
b. Easton, of Addison, is also among the
missing. None of the bodies have yet
been recovered. The number of unknown
deck hands now believed to have perished
is four, making a total of eleven.
