something that drew us together. We
We're as old friends. The most remark
able instance | ever heard is that of
the daughter Of Isaac Fulton. Twelve
years ago he resided in Dillingham;
county, Ill. While there he buried n
daughter named Maria. who was taken
away Just as she was budding into vo-
manhood. About a year later he re-
moved to Dakota. where he still re-

daughters death he was blessed with
another little girl, who was christened
Nellie, 1t being the fayorite name of
his wife. When the little one became
OLD enough to talk she persisted In
calling herself Maria. She became
quite angry when told her name was
Nellie. she said the name belonged to
her, as her parents used to call her
Maria. A matter of business took Mr.
Fulton back to Dillingham; county and
for company he took Nellie along.
The father was surprised at the in.
tuitive knowledge the girl had Of the
place. She not only recognized the
old home, but many people she had
never seen, whom the first daughter
had been acquainted with. About Il
mile from the home was a school house
where Maria had gone to school. Lit
tie Nellie had never seen the place
yet she gave an accurate description
Of it to her father and expressed a
strong desire to visit it. Accordingly
her father took her out TO the school
house. AS 500 as she was inside she
marched straight up to the desk hel

The Cars Prison Life.

\ All men must some day die, and all

The trusted attendant of his privacy
may be sold to the conspirators; his
kitchen nay not be safe against them,
nor his study, nor even the chapel
where he worships. When he walks
abroad his path must be heedfully
cleared and protected, the walls and
floors of his palace must be searched
before he visits them, and his Journeys
by railway necessitate q minute In

"Where are you going?" asked Clce-
ly, in a hard voice.
Ralstock leaned against the bottom
rails of the banisters with a tipsy
smile.
II am going to hbr'y-to ask my dear
nephew for key OF cellar. Want t.

He'll have t find it, that'sh all.

And with another husky laugh, Rad
stock turned and stumbled along on his
way to the library.
Cicely stood listening while he open
ed the door: She was too far off to
hear whether there was any discussion
between the two men. RadStock re-
manned in the library about five or six
minutes, and then anne out, iinglinS
a bunch of keys in his hand. She met
him with a face full Of anxiety, and
glanced at the prize as he fiourished it
over his head. The keys both of the
outer and inner cellar were on that
bunch. she knew.

Nodding to her in triumph he turned
10 go in the directions Of the cellars.
Cicely followed a little way at Il dis
lance, wondering whether he would get
down the stone steps, which were steep
and narrow, without accident, In his
hazy condition. She had not been
there many moments when the library
door opened again and some one came
out. Could it be Duke? The step was

to see his face, but his head hung down
he walked with bent back, as if he had
grown suddenly old. He went 10 the
dintng-room door, stood for a moment
with the handle in his hand, and then
Went in as noiselessly as a cat.
Cicely sprang up SO hastily that she
caught her foot in her dressing gown.
When she had disengaged it she caught
sight Of her husband darling out of the
dining-room like a different creature.
So rapid We're his footsteps now that
she had only time to catch one glimpse
Of his boyish figure, and of something
he held in his hand.
1t was Il knife.
In a moment her head. which had be-
gun to- feel drowsy and confused. be-
came quite clear. She checked the cry
which was on her lips because she re-
membered that it would rouse the SER
wants, and fed down the staircase in
pursuit Of her husband. So strangely
alert her mind had grown, that, us she

grazed, and thought herself that it must
have been done by a new piano which
had been brought home a few days be-
fore. And yet all the time she knew
what It was she feared. and fed in the
steps of her husband With a prayer in
her heart.
Duke had been too far ahead Of her
from the first for her 10 overtake him
before he reached the cellar. When she
got half way down the steep stone
steps he was already out OF hearing.
In her agony lest she should be o. late,
her limbs began suddenly to shake; she
missed her footing in the darkness and
fell to the bottom. She bruised herself
and grazed one hand on the rough
stone floor; but she did not know 1t. did
not know either that she had twisted
her ankle in her fall. and was limping
as ne pushed open the cellar door and
ran over the uneven brick flooring.
There was light down ilefe from the
gas brackets along the wall; only a glim
mer, but enough for her TO see her hus-
band as he opened the door of the long
hidden inner cellar, and disappeared
inside
Duke, Duke!' she cried.
But the sound of her voice was lost
upon him. For at the same moment
there was a groan, followed by a hoarse
cry, and close upon this Duke came
out again, with a white face, a hanging
lip and wild eyes.
The knife was nc longer in his hand.
On his white shirt-front there was q
red stain, and another on his wrist.

THE LADY WINS.

Judge Fee has decided the contested
election case in Union county in favor OF
Miss Stevens, who was elected school
superintendent at the last election, and
whose right to the Office was contested
on the ground that a woman could not
hold the office. The suit will probably
be appealed. There were seven women
elected to the Office of school superin-
tendent in the state last June, as follows
"Alice Carron, Grants Pass, Joseph
inc county; Mrs. Gordon, klamath
Falls, klamath county; Miss Susan w.
Moore, Malheur City, Malheur, county
Miss Anna ]. Balsiger, Heppner, Nor
row county; Miss Carrie May, TIllamook
Tillamook county; Miss Harriette G.
Woodruff, Pendleton, Umatilla county
Miss Nellie Stevens, La Grande, Union
county; Mrs. P. E. Boyd, Joseph,
Wallowa county,"

The best thing congress can do is to
agree to disagree, adjourn and go home.
The industries of the country are in a
state of coma, and nothing but the settle
ment of the tariff question can benefit
them. All eyes are turned toward
Washington as those of the true believ-
ers are towards Mecca, but notwithstand-
ing the presence there of Dana's ''stuffed
prophet" the prayers OF the weary citi-
zen avail not. If the Wilson bill passes
it will be better than the state of un-
certainty that has prevailed for the past
year, but if it fails and congress adjourns
leaving the Mckinley bill as the tariff
law, business will soon resume its wonted
activity

DEAR AT ANY PRICE.

The talk of the government foreclos-
ing its lien on the Union and Central
Pacific railroads will probably end in
talk, for the reason that ii is cheaper to
give the roads the debt than to buy
them. The roads owe the government
about $70.00O,OOo. They owe besides
some $65 100000 first mortgage bonds,
and this debt is lien on the road prior
to that of the government. To get pos
session of the roads the government
would have to pay this lien of $50, ,O00,-
600. It is estimated that the lines could
be paralleled from Omaha to San Fran
cisco for $45, ,O0O,Uo0. SO that the gov
ernment could get an entirely new line
equipped with new rolling stock for less
money by 10000, 900 than the old road
would cost. The scheme to extend the
time for payment to 100 years, at very
low rate of interest, seems to be the only
thing that can be done.

The war between Japan and China
shows that the Japs have advanced
rapidly in civilization, while the Chinese
have stood still. In every fight the Chi
nese have been out-generaled and out
fought. Outside of one or two really
great men, the Chinese are a thousand
years behind the. times. Japan seems
to have the best of the argument, as
well as of the fight, and while acting for
herself it is evident she also knows how
Russia stands in the matter.
