Our Public School
Exhibit.

The educational exhibit of the AS
torla public school for the Worlds Fair
was sent to Portland last night secure
ly packed, in charge Of Superintendent
of Schools Lyman. This exhibit will
very probably come first in excellence
among those sent from every county
In the state. Very great care has been
taken by the teachers in its prepara-
tion. and their efforts have resulted in
a splendid collection of every depart
ment of public shool work.
An Astorian reporter was invited TO
inspect the exhibit before 1t left the
city. 1t consists of several handsome
books with painted celluloid covers,
containing specimens of work of every
class In the school as follows:
Written arithmetic, composition, PEN
manship. spelling, arithmetic. history,
Omitted States) Latin lessons, Caesar,
physiology, physics, business, law, ge-
ometry, letter writing, natural history,
English literature. and geography.
The covers of the books were illus
trated by the Misses Badollet, Powell,
Lyon, and Mexican, and needless to
say the work is beautifully, and ar
tistically done. On careful examina-
ton the reporter found, among the
specimens Of writing worthy Of spe-
cial excellence. the following: Misses
Martha Gilbert. Oh. S. Aida Rippa,
H. S. jamie Douglas, % Edith An
drews, CD Clara Simpson, O Mamie
Smith, az Hilda Larson, 90 Annie
Shively, (9 and Master Hjelma Strom
(S).
Among the essays that are partic-
ularly good are Astoria, Its Early Dis
covery and Settlement" by Percy So
vey; 1.-THE City of Astoria" by Alfred

County, and the Mouth of the Colum-
bia," Andrew Dalgety; Our Fisheries"

of well-executed photographs. One
shows picture of the high school with
teachers and pupils drawn up in front
of it. The other subjects are the High
school geometry class, High school al
zebra class, and higher arithmetic class

primary number lesson. The figures on
the blackboards and the whole of the
interiors are clearly defined, and the
set forms very interesting collection,
and gives very good idea of the work.
ings of the local institutions, that can
not fail to impress favorably the thous-
ands of people that will see it at
the fair. A map of Clatsop county,
very accurately and neatly drawn by
c. H. Strom, completes the high school
exhibit.
The other schools of the county ex-
hibiting are Cannon Beach, Chadwell,.
Melville, Seaside, Cedar Street, Alder
brook, and upper Astoria. McGregor
& Co. furnished the chest in which the
materials are packed, and the other

While writing with all the scientific
knowledge of great astronomer, Cam
lille Flammarion, in his marvellous
story, omega: The End of tile
World" which begins in the April num-
Der of The Cosmopolitan magazine,
keeps the reader at the highest point Of
excitement by his vivid description of
the alarm and despair excited by the
approach of a comet whose collision
with the earth had been declared by
astronomers inevitable The descrip-
tion begins at a time when the busi-
ness of the world has been suspended,
and at a great mass meeting held in
the Institute of France, we hear the
sibility of a second deluge, the drying
up of all the surface water Of the
globe, or the total destruction of hui
man life by cold, together with all the
the history of the moon. For scientific
statement and sensational effect this
characteristic production of French
genius is unique. and the reader who
reads this marvellous story-and If he
begins it he will certainly finish it
will have assimilated without effort,
compact store of scientific knowledge.
In this way, apart from its absorbing
interest, this remarkable piece of fic-
ton will have a distinct scientific
value.

discussion over the timber brought
down from Olney on Wednesday night
for exhibition at the Worlds Fair. 1t
is claimed, by men who know what the
timber resources of this county are,
that the specimens in no way represent
the best quality of vegetable growth,
and that they should be kept back at
all hazards and competent parties sent
out to locate and bring in really repre-
sentative logs.

The work of dumping rock on the
lefty at the mouth Of the river Is to
be resumed at once, and the first tow
will probably come down next Mon
day. The barges and plant used on
the jetty generally. have been over
hauled and put in thorough repair dur
ing the winter. and the new contract
ors for supplying the rock, Messrs.
Maxwell & Huber, have opened quar-
ry near washougal, and will supply
the rock as fast as desired. If there Is
enough money left the jetty will prob
ably be completed this summer. 1t has
already demonstrated that the project
is a complete success, and before long
the entrance of the Columbia, says the
oregonian, will have deeper channel
than any other harbor in the United
States.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health Of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup Of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; eAeCtually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup

THE DOG UNDER THE WAGON.

Come, WIFE," said good old Farmer Gray,
" Put on your things, tits market day
And wen be of TO the nearest town,
There and back ere the sun goes down
SpotY No, wen leave old Spot behind"
But Spot he barlred, and Spot he whined,
And soon made up his doggish mind
To follow under the wagon
Away they went OF good round pace,
And Joy came into the farmers face;
Poor Spot" said he ''did want 70 como,
But I'm awful glad he's left at home;
He'll guard the barn, and guard the cot
And keep the cattle out Of the lot"
I'm not so sure OF that" thought Spot
The little dog under the wagon.
The farmer all his produce sold,
And got his pay in yellow gold.
Then started homeward after dark
Home through the lonely forest Harki
A robber springs from behind tree--
+" Your money or else your life," says hei
Tho moon was up but he didn't see
The little dog under the wagon
Spot ne'er barked and Spot ne'er whined,
But quickly caught the thief behind;
He dragged him down in the mire and dirt
And tore his coat and tore his shirt
Then held him fast on the miry ground;
The robber uttered not sound
While his hands and feet the farmer bound,
And tumbled him into the wagon
So Spot he saved the farmers life,
The farmers money the farmers wifei
And now hero grand and gay,
A silver collar he wears today;
Among his friends, among his foes,
And everywhere his master goes,
He follows on his horny toes,

TO TEST THE QUESTION.
A Suspended Pensioners Action Against
the Commissionor-Petitio for Man
damus Filled In tho Supreme Court.

a Suspended Pensioners Action Against
the Commissionor-Petit for Man
damus Filed In tho Supreme Court.
WASHINGTON, Oct 6,-The petition
presented by Judge Charles d. Long.
OF Detroit, Mich, member OF the
Michigan supreme court, for manda-
mus upon the commissioner Of PEN
sions to compel him to pay pension
Illegally suspended, states that on Sep
tember 2s last, he was informed by the
pension agent at Detroit that payments
on his claim had been suspended,
pending special medical examination
to determine his present degree Of dis
ability" He denies that he ever re-
ceived notice of this suspension other
than as stated, although he was once
ordered to report to the examining
board at Detroit. ......
Judge Long then issued that he be-
lieves that this order was not made by
the secretary of the interior who Is en-
powered by section 4,799 Revised Stat
utes Of the United States, to strike
from the pension rolls names put
thereon by fraudulent representations.
But even this cannot be done, he main
tains in his petition, without due no.
tice to the pensioner, who shall have
full opportunity to be heard. Judge
Long further objects that such pro-
ceeding is In violation Of the fifth
amendment to the constitution, (which
provides that no citizen shall be de.
prived of life, liberty and property
without due process OF law" His PEN
sion, he claims, is valuable property, OF
which he has been deprived without
such process.
Speaking Of the case which Is to come
on hearing on the 10th inst, Commits
sioner Lochren says: "As to the ques-
tion raised whether the commissioner
has the power to suspend pension,
will say that this rule is not new one,
as has been charged against Secretary
Smith and myself In the newspapers.
1t is an old rule and has been in prac-
tice in the bureau from the beginning.
The ground is taken that the action Is
contrary to the constitution in depriv-
ing man of his life, liberty or prop
erty, etc.
Nov, pension is not property un-
til the pensioner gets the money. Tho
mere privilege Of drawing pension
does not constitute property. II IL Is
a property right, even congress could
not interfere with it, yet nobody would
question for a minute that congress
can repeal all the pension laws, II de-
sired.
particular stress appears to be laid
on the word withdraw. Suspension is
merely holding payment, withdrawing
is taking 1t away. Suspension Of pen
sions is merely precautionary meas
ure. If, on inquiry, the person Is found
to be entitled to his pension, he gets II
In full; II not, the government Is pro-
tected during that time.
