Wadsworth, adjutant general of Massa-
chusetts during the Revolution.
General Wadsworth was second in
command during the unsuccessful con-
fict with an English feet which arrived
at Penobscot bay during the summer of
1919. 1t was shortly afterward that his
house at Camden was entered at mid
night, and he was taken prisoner. The
general established himself in Portland
during the spring of 1774 and in the fol-
lowing year began the erection of the
now historic house. The bricks were
brought from Philadelphia, and over
two years elapsed before the house was
completed.

worth. Mrs Longfellow, mother Of
Mrs. Pierce, had eight children-four
daughters and four sons. With the ex-
ception of the eldest child and Henry

The PULLMAN COLLEGE.
All Is Ready to Begin the Erection Of
New Buildfnes

PULLMAN, Oct. 2.-The regents of the
college have been doing some good work
since their recent arrival in this citv.
They examined the plans and had them
remodeled in various WAYS. Bids for
the fine adEistration building that will
be built this year. we're opened Tuesday
and each one examined closely. AL
though Goss of Tacoma was the lowest
bidder, il was thought from the circam-
stances in the case that the reason Goss
cut his bid by telegraph So 900 below his
mailed bid was that he expected TO take
advantage of defect in the plans.
There We're several openings where
he could have added a large bill OF 'ex-
tras, and from the wording of the spec
ihcations no one could check him. Sew
eral good reasons justified the regents
in not acting on his bid. The contract
was awarded to Sol Cameron of Spokane
for the sum Of $4,000, the building to
be erected according to amended plans
and specifications. The building will be
Of Spokane pressed brick and granite
trimmings and slate roof
The contract for heating was award
ed to the Pacific Heating and ventilat-
ing company of Seattle for So orr.
The plumbing contract was awarded
to Wicks, Hughes s. Grifiths of Spokane
for the sum of $1,Os9.
Excavations for the building began
this morning and nothing will stop the
work but bad weather.
The mechanical building is progress
ing nicely. Mr.. Callahan, the contract
or, says he will have the building COM
pleted by Jan. 1.
Nothing out the very best of feeling
exists between the regents and faculty.
They are in good spirits and hopeful for
the future
Money was in the Pullman banks Sat.
urday for the services of the faculty
and other expenses incurred since July
J /. The regents feel proud of this fact,
as it solved the silver question so far as
the college people are concerned.

Townsite Of Harrison.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-Representative
Wilson has received the following COM
munication from the commissioner of
Indian affirs in reference to inquiries by
Mr.. Holderman as to the status of affairs
connected with the Couer d'Alene Indian
Reservation and the town of Piedmont
The commissioner says:
1.-THE act of congress approved March
8, entitled AN act making appropriations
for current and contingent expenses
and fulfilling treaty stipulations with
Indian tribes for fiscal year ending June
30, 1894 provides:
'The secretary of the interior is here
by directed to negotiate with the Ceur
d'Alene Indians for a change of the
northern line Of their reservation, so as
to exclude therefrom a strip of land on
which the town of Harrison and numer-
Gus settlers are located That the fore
going shall take effect and be in force
after it shall have been submitted to and
duly agreed to by the Indians Of said
tribe and approved by the secretary of
the interior.
The matter of conducting the negoti-
ations above referred to has been en-
trusted to Special United States Indian
Agent Thomas P. Smith and Capt. John
w. Bubb, Z. S. A., acting Indian agent
Of the Colyllle agency.
Touching the point as to how much
land will be segregated the letter says
1T is supposed by this Office that the
| contemplated change will not require
more than 300 or 400 acres to. give the
townsite settlers the relief they ask
for.n

THE MORNING AFTER.

I FOUND a glove upon the sand,
Il A tell-tale token-who shall say2
The impress OF a dimpled hand
Still in its pegfumed plumpness lay.
And there were footprints-slender. too,
Blotted each with knightly sole
All mingling where the breakers roll:
wonder whose they were-don't youe
Speak, laughing sands that still retain
The footballs OF a history true.
Tell us the secret that each grain
Hides of true lovers rendezvous!
Dear glove, that not the midnight dew
Hath touched, so lately fell it there,
breathe upon thee this one prayer:
wonder whose they were-don't your
Yet. tits perhaps most wise and best
That lips to tell all you may know
Are well denied you, else some breast
Might take OF lead a dose or 50.
Some disenchantment might pursue
A heart now glad; some sword might ia
So farewell footprints, gloves and all
wonher whose they were-don't you.
