Selfish View.

In our last issue we spoke aoout ar
investment made by some of our clti.
zens in Arcadia real estate, as a sub.
scription to aid in establishing Belle.
vue Collegiate Institute at that place.
Incidentally we remarked that in our
opinion, it was not u very good bust
ness policy to aid other towns in es-
tablishing enterprise when SO many
are needed at home. This prompts
Bro. AXE, of the Ironton REGISTER to
say that we take ..selfish view" of the
matter. He goes on to say, in SUBJ
stance, that if it had not been for Ar
and engaging in business. Poplar Bluff
would have been nowhere. Thou art
facetious grown, Uncle Eli. 1t is true,
there are men here who have been
potent factors in the growth of the
community. who came from the VAL
ley. To them Poplar Bluff is indebt-
ed. But, there are other deserving
citizens here who came from other
places, and are entitled to like credit.
The point is whether or not Poplar
Bluff is to help Arcadia build colleges,
when her surplus cash can we'll be
utilized in building colleges of her
own. Suppose we reverse the picture.
This year an effort will be made to
erect a suitable Academy building.
Perhaps our liberal neighbors of the
Valley will fall over each other in their
eagerness to contribute to a Poplar
Bluff enterprise. We can even imag-
inc Bro. AXE in his sublime unselfish-
ness, going into his jeans and plank
ing out Il thousand or two. Notwith-
standing these beautiful dreams of
fancy, however, Poplar Bluff will go
right ahead and build her own COL
leges, and it will be late day when
she has the supreme assurance to ask
her neighbors for assistance. -Butler

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 6.--The steamer
Oceanic arrived here this morning from
Hong Kong and Yokohama, bringing
Japanese advicss to September 2nd.
Little or no intelligence was brought
from China direct, and the following
notice, which appears at the head OF the
editorial column OF the China Gazette. q
newspaper published ID Shanghai, seems
to indicate the difficulty of obtaining re-
liable information from Chinese sources
"ln the present position OF affairs it is
utterly useless to attempt to get any re 4
liable information over the Chinese
sources, and We are compelled therefore,
to wait until the Japanese official ac-
counts of the progress OF the war be-
tween China and Japan are first pub
lished in the prees OF the latter country.
and get them telegraphed here. The
Chinese have, by their disgraceful mem
dscity in the Kow Shing affair and their
refusal to transmit any telegram which.
does not glorify them and mislead the
public as to their true condition, cut
themselves OFF from all chance OF their
reports being believed by people who
want to get at the truth"

respondence:

opinion expressed in Japan is that the
negotiations at Washington might have
been concluded long ago If the state de-
partment had been disposed to act upon
Japanese proposals. AS it s, Great
Britain stands ahead in the enactment
OF treaty which the Asiatic empire has
been urgently striving for more than 20
years to secure. On one previous occa-
sion the business was nearly brought to
conclusion by Count Okuma, but st
the last moment his plans were de-
featet by the violent public dsmonstra-
tons in Japan against his method OF
acjlsting the vexed question of the ju-
dic,ary. 1t was, therefore, thought ex-
pedient to keep these latter negotiations
strictly secret. and to allow none Of tha
proposed conditions to become q subject
OF popular discussion until the affair was

OAKLAND, Sept. 16.--About week ago
q marriage took place in this city that is
likely TO cause trouble on the male side
Of the house. Thomas Starr Wylie OF
this city married his divorced wife. and
as consequence may have to stand
trial for bigamy. The woman that he
has just married secured divorce from
him in June, 1898, on charges OF lnhdel-
ity, in which she charged Lillian COOK,
an Oakland girl, rs correspondent.
Wylie married Misc Cook and moved to
Los Angeles, where they lived
together for mouth, tnen
Wylie went to New York and two
months later returned to Oakland with
a dark-haired and black-eyed beauty
whom ne introduced as his sister. lie
Immediately commenced overtures with
the former Mrs. Wylie and said he
would secure divorce from his Los
Angeles wife, and proposition TO re-.
marry was readily accepted. They all
lived in the same house, but the conN
duct OF the husband and his so-
called sister excited Mrs. Wylie's
suspicious and jsalousles, the
sister received communications ad-
dressed to Miss Mcbride. and this, with
the gossip OF the neighbors, caused
rupture between the former Mrs. Wylie
and the sister, the sister and Wyiie

Disintegration of thu University OF the

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 16.-The Metho-

p~.is -f.-e--e.- i-- in A nnand arv over ths
university OF the Pacific. The scHcol
was founded in 1850 and located at
Santa Clara. 1t has not been well sup
ported during recent years. The at
tendance has been lessening. Some
undergraduates were drawn to the state
university, and an entire class went to
Stamford university. Every desirable
teacher left the faculty. Two of them
were at once given chairs at Stanford
and the rest have been preaching.
The disintegrstion OF the school has
aroused its alumni association. and at q
recent meeting the association passed
resolutions severely criticising the trus-
tees of the univeraity and strongly char
acterizing the inetficiency aud incompe-
tenoy of those who have recently con-
Quoted its affairs. When the report was
read to the conference several trusteeo
at once resigned.
Prot. D. A. Hayes of Napa declined an
invitation to the presidency OF the
school.
1t is now proposed TO make the Meth.
odist university a preparatory school or

FOUND GULL TY.

Mrs. Hartley Oonvicted of Murder in
the Second Degrse.
RENO, New. Sept. 16.-The jury in
the Hartley trial rendered verdict this
morning at 8 80 OF guilty Of murder in
the second degree, recommending the
defendant to the mercy OF the court.
Mrs. Hartloy's request to address the
jury was granted. She was raised
trembling and pale and said:
"Gentlemen of the jury, thank you."
Then she broke down, sobbing, and was
taken to her apartments.
The court convened to receive the
verdict. The defendant WAS ushered in
and took seat beside her counsel. The
clerk called the roll OF the jurors and all
answered to their names. When he
asked il they had agreed upon verdict
r. II. Kinney, the foreman, arose and
said:
1--WE find the defendant guilty OF mur-
der in the second degree, but recon-
mend her to the mercy of the court"
After an attempt TO address the jury,
Sheriff Coughlin, DR.. Phillips and her
nurse led the defendant from the court
room witn her face bathed in tears. The
Judge did NOT say when he would pro-
nounce sentence. The jury was dis.
charged. She will probably be arrsigned
for sentence tomorrow. Under the law.
10 years' imprisonment is the lowest
that can be given her.
Mrs Hartley's trial is one OF the most
remarkable in the criminal annals of
Nevada. The scene in the court room
today would have melted heart Of
stone.
There is much comment over the YER
dict, many claiming that manslGughter
would have bsen more righteous YER
dict. While the people know che COM
mtted great crime, they cannot help
but sympathizs with her. 1t is under
etood that the jury stood last night two
for murder in the first degree, one for
acquttal and the other nine divided on
granddaughter and murder in the second
degree. The jury wsa the most intsli-
gent that ever sat on murder trial in
this county. Under Judge Cheney's
charge they could not we'll do otherwise
than retnrn the verdict that they did.

killed Mrs. Mabel Colvin on the street
this afternoon and then blew out his
own brains. Mrs. Colvin was walking
along Yamhill street whom Staengele
met her near the corner OF Thirteenth
street. He asked her to go with MIN,
saving that he wished to talk with her
She declined to do go, but he was per-
sistent and took hold of her arm. Mrs.
Cclvin seid if be did not let her alone
she would call upon gentleman VINO

gels Immediately drew q revolver from
his pocket and, while holding her arm
with his lett hand, fred with his right,

tween the eyes. She fell to the side
walk and he again fred, the bullet
strikinp the PROSTATE woman in the
fannie. Staengele then turned the
weanop upon b. lmself and fired bullet
into his own brain, Both died within
few minutes.
Mrs. Colvin was q handsome brunette
and came here about two years ago from
| Woolwich, Mass., to visit relatives. Her
| fathor is Mr. Forehand, president oil the
Forehand manufacturing company o.
Woolwich, Mass. She and her husband
did not live together, and only lew
days ago she filed papers in suit foi
divorce. Staengels was an engineer EN-
ployed at the city park, and 1t is said
that be was desirous of keeping com
peny with Mrs. Colvin, and was per-,
sistent in his suit, but sne was not fono
