rALousE FARMERS DIsCoUKAsED.
By Harvest Rsins, Low Prices and
Scarcity Of Sacks.


RosAIfs, Oct Especial. Five days
of continuous rain have greatly retarded
harvest and damaged . great amount of
grain. Rain has annoyed the farmers to q
great extent since September I. but the
past week has been BY far the worst, as
steady downpour of rain has lasted day
and night since Thursday. The harvest is
unusually late. fully forty days later than
last season. ard should the weather settle
nov much wheat will be cut in November.
To the west of Rosalia three-fourths of the
grain is cut. bat 10 the east two-thirds of
the crop is still standing. and the same
conditions prevail near Tekoa. Pennington
and oakesdale. At the latter places much
grain has been damaged by frosts and will
only be cut for hay.
Farmers are badly discouraged. They
planted the iarges, acreage ever soxn in
Whitman county and were rewarded by
an unusually large yield, but the cold, wet
spring retarded seeding so that most of
the grain was sown one month later
than usual. This, of course, made
the grain that much later in ripening and
the fall rains have caught the grain about
half cut. and it is difficult to tell how
much of that now standing can be saved.
Considerable grain now threshed and piled
up in sacks in the fields has been damaged
by the heavy rains. Threshers, headers
and binders are idle. waiting for suitable
weather to resume operations. Threshing
will not be completed before Christmas.
The greatest encouragement the farmers
have thus far met is the high price of grain
sacks and the low price of wheat. Sacks.
which ought to sell at 8 cents. can not be
had in sufficient quantities at any price.
and those that are offered for sale sell at 10
cents each. Much indignation is ex-
pressed ~ the manner in which the peni-
Tertiary sacks were disposed of to oussid-
ers and dealers in grain bags. while the
farmers were unable to get them. Many
farmers have been forced to build bins in
which to store their wheat because of their
inability to get sacks.
Wheat Is only worth s. cents per bushel.
while all frosted and damaged wheat, of
which there are many thousands of
bushels. is rejected and can not be sold at
any price. At this price and the high
price of sacks farmers will scarcely be able
to come out even on their crops, while
renters will surely lose money unless the
price advances in q very short time, as
most farmers will be compelled to sell
large per cent. of their crops to pay debts.

A sLAUGnTERHoUsE FOR BABIES.
How Infants Were Killed mt the sa
Francisco Founding Asylum.

Francisco Founding Asylum.
SAN Francisco, Oct. "a shocking
scandal has been caused by the coroner's
investigation into the San Francisco
Founding Asylum, where thirty-three
babes have died within the past six weeks
The place was closed last Thursday, and
twenty-four foundiings given into the
custody of the Catholic Infant Shelter.
The coroner ascertained that three waits
died from lack of nutrition, inanition and
scourge pemphigus. The Daughters OF
the Good Shepherd have publicly branded
the asylum as a slaughterhouse for babies
The sanitary condition of the asylum was
bad. 1t is charged that the nurses and
attendants occupied sunny rooms upstairs
and kept the babies in damp, dark apart
ments. Before the coroner today ii was
developed that dead babies have been kept
on the premises four days. The official
undertaken of the institution testified that
when infants died the attendants put the
bodies in q box under tho front doorsteps
and kept them there like so much garbage
until he came to take them away. He HAD
found three bodies cast out indiscrimin-
ately into the box at one time. He re-
moved them without notifying the people
at the asylum. The inquest will be re-
sumed next Wednesday.

the life that lies before them. The ma

least partly in work. and the common
resolve made on commencement night is
to have that work good. 1t may not be
80. Some CT the girls may turn out to
be failures. but at least their purpose is
high and relieves them from the charge
of being naught but distracting bundles
of fine feathers.
Do you, oh. women in a thousand

daughters last year at high school. sem

The happy graduate also carries away
a more rounded character-rounded by
constant association with others engaged
in the same pursuits. The c~omradeship
and rivalship have done her good on the
principle that

Then she has required a power and
self reliance from doing SO many diff
cult tasks. | suppose every schoolgirl
has done more seemingly impossible than
possible things, and every time it has
strengthened her.
She also takes some friendships that
may last through life. There are few
attachments more intense than those
formed during school days, some Of
which continue and some of which do
not. II they do. they are worth having;
If they do not. they have at least served
their purpose and made the schoolgirl
more ready for friendships to come.

his trickery the unpleasant memories

success. No failures are evident then.
The pupils who tried and fell short in
the scholarship necessary to graduation
are of course too ashamed and disap-
only successes are present. Everything
goes smoothly, and everybody looks well.
No matter how many plain girls have
lived in the senior classrooms for ayear,
somehow ALI look pretty in white dresses
Under gaslight. There is a magic about
the two that transforms every one.
Do You know what is the very pref
test commencement costume that can
Do devised for the sweet girl graduatei
A simple white dress, with black Ok
ford cap and gown. 1t is too bad that
only college girls are supposed to wear
them-and they do not always don them
at commemorative probably there
are 10 times as many high school as college
graduates, and the caps and gowns are
30 bewitching. They make the plainest
girl look striking, and the prettiest one
well, words will not express it. But
no one ever saw a girl who didn't look
well in cap and gown.
Next to this costume the most appro-
pirate is the simple muslin OF any fine
wash goods dress. AS a rule, it is the
who can least afford it who goes TO
the expense OF q silk gown, and it is .
fact not known to every n that college
graduates dress more simply than those
in the lower schools. Silk is more ap-
propriate for brides or for society ladies.
The muslin on lace or silk tissues, all
fieecy. airy fabrics, belong by right to
the sweet June graduate, who isn't tobe
blamed if she hast made as distracting-
ly becoming as she can. She wouldn't

to look her best.
After all, though, in any school that
which gives sweetness to the graduation
Is not the dress, or the exercises, or the
congratulations Of friends. 1t is the
thought of difficulties overcome to reach
such a point and the realization of equip
ment to help meet what lies ahead. No
one knows how many years it will take
to graduate from that greatest of schools,
the university of life, but every one re-
Allies at commencement that the more
ones faculties have been trained the bet
ter one is fitted to go on in the classes of
the great university where the lessons
will be harder than ever before and the
pleasures and prizes be fewer.
Besides her diploma and flowers and
congratulations every true hearted grad
uate has taken away many good things
from her school life. Learning? Oh,
yes. that need not be mentioned. OF
course she takes that. But she also
takes some things infinitely pre-
cious than learning. good Is that Is.
For one thing she has acquired trained
habits of thought from the daily routine
Of study. Her mind win act in coop
Grafton with her native common sense,
and even If she should not have to use
any special facts learned in chemistry
she will make q better housekeeper be-
cause she has pursued that study.

difficulty in finding the right kind of
men for any department. Of his work. /
was surprised to learn this and asked
him what was the secret Of his success.
He said:
II have men to whom ! pay as much
as 9 5000 a year. ] have sometimes been
disappointed in my selection Of helpers,
but as a rule / never fail to get the kind

who have succeeded in what they have
undertaken.
"No matter how progressing q man
may be, how taking in appearance or In
apparent qualifications, I never engage
him." he added, "if ! find that he has
made q failure in anything. On the 9TH

the scene of all the horrors of which

secretary Of the Antislavery society, last
summer reported that u aravan of TO-
900 canels and 1000 slaves left Timbuc-
too for Morocco. and of this number 500
to 600 died of thirst in the desert. In
another caravan it is stated that out Of
800 slaves eco died, and the survivors
were worth little from the p~rivation and
hardships Of the journey. Mr.. Allen
says 1.-The desert route this year must
have proved more than unusually fatal,
but the atrocity Of the trade cannot be
ignored" Yet there are E~nglishmen
