emily as an evidence Of indignation at the
rigid obedience he gave to an order from
Lieut.. John L. Hayden.
At Fridays drill Cadet Phillips Morri-
son. while in the ranks drilling. was
ordered out by Mr.. Hayden for scraping
his feet on the ground instead Of walking

handed over to First Sergt. Hooker by
Lieut. Hayden. who ordered the sergeant
to drill him separately in the "setting-up"
exercises. These are . series of move

and ''set-up," as the military expression
goes. Sergt. Hooker did not slight his
work in the least, it Is said. Indeed, it is
affirmed that he did the drilling soundly

have been the firebrand.
On Monday morning early an efigv was
noticed hanging out of the laboratory
window on the north side of the main
building. bearing placard with Sergeant
Hooker" written on it. The janitor re-
removed it and carried it over to the porch

of all the buildings, and of course in broad
daylight. The janitor was called into re-
QUESTION, and the hateful object was sup
pressed forever. The figure was made by
stuffing an old rubber coat and other gar
ments, the sleeves Of the coat being
adorned with the insignia of . sergeant.
An effort is being made by the faculty to
Gus breach of discipline.
It is understood that there is considera-
BILE dissatisfaction among the students
over the compulsory military drill. 1t is
even said that If it were not compulsory
not over twenty Of the sixty male students
would drill. This is not because of dissat-
isfaction with the commandment, Lieut.. J.
L. Hayden, nor with the general run of
the cadet officers. but is an objection to
the military feature in ITSELF
The students are going ahead, however,
and attaining fair degree of efficiency,
though the dissatisfaction is in no way di-
minishing.

bunko . Jackson street shoemaker, who
was going to Tacoma, out of $3.50 in gold.
John Corbett was the arresting officer and
found that he could not make a case of

persons was substituted. Kinney and An
derson were released on $3.50 cash bonds
each and since then have been arrested in
connection with like cases, but always
slipped through the meshes of the law.

One of the counsel of the Northern Pa
cific railroad said yesterday: 1.-THE appli-
cation made in Seattle to appoint a re-
ceiver for the Seattle, Lake Shore & East
ern is based principally upon the ground
that the traffic contract under which the
road il operated by the Northern Pacific is
not favorable enough TO the Seattle road.
The complaint made by the stockholders
committee was that the traffic contract
was too unfavorable to the Seattle road.
My own judgment is that this suit is in
stigated by the enemies of the proposed
line from Vancouver to connection with
the Seattle road at Sumas. If they can Sc
cure the appointment Of a receiver they
can prevent the making of a contract for
exchange Of business at the boundary.
There is no merit in the application what
ever, and it must necessarily fail if it does
not die young"

up the little shell In which the black mo-
lasses-like stuff was held and asked Chin
Kee if it was opium. Chin Kee said it was
not. and the defense asked that he be nut
on the stand and made to show the differ
ence between real opium and the stuff be.
fore the court.
Chin Kee lit one of the lamps held a
evidence. and then took up long piece of
wire. There was more excitement in court
than if a murder had been committed. II
was a curiosity to see Chinaman cook a
pill and the crowd, one and all, wanted to
see the operation. Chin Kee stuck the
wire down into the box. took out a small
chunk Of the brown stuff and put it in the
flame. Then he turned the wire and let
the mixture cook. 1t heated slowly ana
soon commenced to sag or run down to a
point.
This development was greeted by Chin
Kee with . shake of the head. and he ex.
planned to the court that it was not opium.
''ls there not opium in it?" said Attor-
ney Fortson.
"WeIl, You see." went on Chin. "there
lots kinds opium. We sell different kinds.
Real opium costs lots money, but this is
imitation. After real opium smoked the
ashes are taken and mixed up with some.
thing (he did not say what) and sold to
Cinnamon who can't buy genuine stuff"
Chin wouldn't agree that there was
enough opium in the stuff to make the
oftense oplum smoking, but Judge Glasgow
evidently thought that the willy Chnaman
had irumped up another way to get around
the law and fined All Sing $50.

BY constant shoveling the road was kept

There have also been some serious mud
