THE WORTHINGT()N ADVANCE

Clellan left Washington April 1, 1862
and went down to TT. Monroe; from
here he marched on Yorktown, but
was kept at bay by Megrunder fol
four weeks. Yorktown was then evac-
uated, and on account of this Nor.
falk was evacuated; whereupon the
union naval forces went there, burned
the supplies, blew up the Merrimac,
and, taking the gunboats, sailed up
the James river as far as Fl. Darling.
McClellan<then beat the confederates
at Williamsburg, and chased them
within seven miles of Richmond. Here
he waited for Mcdowell who was com
ing from Fredericksburg, with sup
plies and 10000 men. During this
time Johnston sent small force up
to Hanover Court House, to call Nc
Clellan's attention. Mcclellan sent
Potter then, and he drove the confed-
crates out. Then Johnston sent
jackson up the Shenandoah valley to
threaten Washington. Jackson de-
feated Banks at Strawsburg, and
Banks returned to Washington.
Lincoln then called for the mill
tia from the northern states to come
and protect Washington, and he took
military charge of the railroads. He
also ordered Mcdowell, Banks and
Fremont to capture jackson. Free
mont was at Franklin, Mcdowell at
Fredrickburg and Banks at Harper's
Ferry. jackson started down the
Shenandoah, but met Fremont at
at Cross Keys, and hurled him off.
He met Shields at Port Republic,
and drove him back five miles. Then
went on to Richmond. Then came
the seven days battle in which Nc.
Clellan retreated to Harrison's land
ing to the protection of the gun
boats. ELvIN HOWARD,

Repents of his Deed, and Mar
shals Anderson and Fuqua
Get q Confession from
~ sS Him, while
The Detectives (who never sleep,
t% Are wrapped in the Arms
r.. OF Old Morpheus.

Last Friday morning the town was
all agog over the reported confession
of Iverson, the man who was suppos
ed to have been robbed Sunday
night, and also to have saved a pas
senger train from being plunged of
a high embankment-the details o.
which were given in last weeks
ADVANCE.
After the supposed robbery and
attempt to wreck a train, a consulta
ton of officers was held in Mr.. Man.
ning's private office. Soon after this
meeting Messrs. Anderson and Fuqua
visited Iverson in his room at the
Western hotel. and questioned him
in manner that would do credit to
skilled attorneys. Mr.. Anderson ex-
amined Iverson's underclothing and
found that his wound had bled but a
trif1e-not to exceed four ounces.
Mr.. Anderson having visited the
scene of the supposed tragedy knew
that at least a quart of blood had
been left on the "scene of the con-
f1ict. This was an important clue
and he proposed to follow it up. That
night he put in with Iverson, and at
ITO a. M, got a full and complete
confession from him; Iverson going
into the minutest details of the whole
scheme; told him where the crowbar
and revolver were hid in a ploughed
field near by.
After getting this confession, Mr..
Anderson, about a. M, went to Mr..
Manning's residence and related his
discovery. Mr.: Manning at once
took the section crew and went out
to get. the bar and revolver, but
failed to- find them. Mr.. Anderson
then went to the place indicated by
Iverson and found the articles.
After the confesson to Anderson,
papers were gotten out for VERSIONS
arrest, and served, and close watch
placed over him. However, he e]ud-
ed his keepers Sunday night; and,
although in crippled condition,
made good his escape and is still at
large.
There is no doubt but that Iverson
had scheme we'll planned, but when
he attempted to execute it he made
a dismal failure of it. At this writing
he is still hobbling along few PAGES
ahead Of the officers, and it is best
for the county that he keep some dis
lance ahead of them. He has been
thoroughly punished for his foolish
deed.
DR.. Dolan analysed some of the
blood found at the scene and it proved
to be the blood of a barn yard fowl
The credit for this clever piece of
detective work is due to DAWN An
derson, ably assisted by Marshal
Fuqua and Judge Dow.

SCHOOL DEPARTMENT.
IBy the pupils Of the English class, High School

stone CLUB was held Friday evening,
Nov. II, 1898. The first on the pro-
gram was reading by Miss Carrie
McCune. Next was an address by
Mi. E. F. Buchan, telling of some of
the wonderful things which surround
us. Then came three-minute talk
by Geo. J. Day on "Why are homely
men SO numerous?' This is one of
the things no one has been able to
find out. They are numerous in the
same way that weeds and mosquitoes
are numerous. Homely men have
such great burden to bear-every
one ought to deal kindly with them.
AS a rule they get the best wives.
Next came speech by DR.. Dolan,
"What is the chief cause of poverty?"
Some mem are poor because they
haven't enough energy; some have
hard luck; but whisky is the great
cause of poverty. Rome, Greece and
Carthage were given over to drunk
enness when they fell. In our town
the two saloons make more in one day
than our meat markets make in
week.
The next was debate: Resolved
that the government should own and
operate the railroad and telegraph
lines. The debaters were Miss
Rogers and Mr.. James Ramage on
the affirmative and Miss Alma Covey,
and Mr.. Manning on the negative.
The judges were DR.. Dolan, Mr.. Geo.
Day and Mrs. Ray Humiston. Mr..
Manning not being present, the chair
appointed Mr.. Porter to take his place.
After the regular debaters, volunteer
speeches of five minutes were made
by Mr.. Buchan, for the affirmative,
Mr.. Ray Humiston for the negative,
and Miss Rogers for the affirmative.
The decision of the judges was for
the negative side, which had six points
while the affirmative had four. The
subject of the next debate will be:
Resolved that morality has not kept
pace with civilization.
For opening exercises the Seventh
and the Eighth grades now meet with
the High School; and on Wednesday
mornings something little extra is
introduced. The first Wednesday Mr..
Porter read an article by President
Gates OF Iowa College, on ''Standards
of Honor in the Business World;"'
the, second Wednesday :. Miss
Rogers read Byron's "Prisoner of
Chillon;" and last Wednesday Miss
Brewer read Browning's ''Herve Riel."
Each reading was accompanied with
such explanations as were needed to
make it Ineligible; the plan seems to
have proven interestingly surely
will be instructive.
The school is preparing a Thanks
giving program, consisting of recita
tions, music, drills, etc. (which will pro-
badly be presented next Wednesday
evening. The present promise for a
very interesting program is excellent.

TOUCHING BEREAVEMENT.

Ono of the most pathetic incidents ever
related is told in the following: Mrs.
Joseph Cardineu who resided with her hus-
band and three children en- a homestead
about six miles from Cathlamet, WASH,
came to tragic death week ago Monday,
but her Efeless body was not discovered
save by her three little children till last
Saturday evening, when Mr.. Cardinell, who
works in logging camp six miles
from home, returned. Last Monday week
Cardinell, left home for his work, where he
remains all week. Shortly after his depart
ure Mrs. Cardinell went down to a spring
near the house to get some water. She fell
into the spring, which, though only two feet
deep, was sufficient to cause drowning Ice
formed about the corpse, and when the body
was found by the children they could not
remove it. The eldest child aged 9 years,
started out to tell her father, but the snow
was so deep she had to return, and ali
through the lonely days and nights the little
ones stood vigil by the dead body of their
mother, while hunger and cold brought them
dangerously near the ever-open portal.
MIR. Cardinell went to Cathlamet Saturday
night to procure assistance. Mrs. Cardinell
is the daughter Of Mrs. Greenleaf of Butt
vile, and her sister, Mrs. NJ. Lynch, resides
in Portland.

PNEUMONIA.
Chairman.

At no time in the history of the country
has pneumonia been so prevalent as during
the winter months of the last two years. In
times past common cold was not consider
ed at all serious, but of late years the great
tendency of colds to result in pneumonia
has made people apprehensive. The trousle
is that colds are not always properly treat
ed. No preparation containing opium, wild
cherry Or chloroform should be used, rs they
have a tendency to dry up cold, whereas
it should be loosened and the lungs relieved.
1t has been observed that when Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is used the cold never
results in pneumonia The reason is that
this remedy stimulates the mucus mem-
brane which lines the throat and lungs, to q
healthy action, causes free expectoration.

A VALUABLE REPORT.

The Capital Journal speaks as follows of
the valuable report OF Superintendent Z. B.
McElroy:
''The biennial report of the state superin.
tendent OF public instruction will be found
very valuable resume of our state school
system. Ia it will be found the statistics of
our system from 1873 to 1892 inclusive; a
complete showing Of all the state and pri.
vate institutions tf learning; the organiza.
tion and work of the state board of educa.
tion with its rules and decisions; the entire
system of teachers examinations and au-
thorized text books; the state school work,
including institutes held and Arbor day and
Columbus day exercises, and preparations
for worlds fair exhibit, and closing with a
very interesting summary of the suggestions
made by city and county superiutendents.
The report of Prof. i. B. McElroy for
1898, contains PSI pages of matter and will
compare very favorably with the best of its
Kind in the older states, where public edu.
cation is conducted with far more enter
prise, and with far less indifference on the
part of the people. This report, beyond all
Others, should be in the hands of the lsgisla-
tor for purposes of careful study when he
returns to his home. He can serve his con.
stituents and his generation in no better
manner than than by thorough mastery Of
its contents, and if perchauce he ever returns
to the halls of legislation he will be better
prepared to serve them intelligently.
