The arrest Of George Boggs, the
former City Treasurer Of Tacoma, ls
not likely 10 give the city and part Of
the $4,000 whose loss IL has been
caused 10 mourn through his agency,
bat II may discourage other officials
from following In bis footsteps. Mr..
Boggs managed the municipal politics
OF Tacoma on the dangerous principle
OF going into political partnership with
banks. He deposited immense am
cunts Of city money In various favored
banks, with the apparent understand
ing that IL should not be drawn out.
In return the banks went actively into
politics, put up heavy contributions to
campaign fun is, and acted generally as
the financial hackers OF the Treasurer
and his friends. The result Of this
policy appears not to be entirely satis-
factory to anybody. The banks have
failed, the city is next door to bank
ruptcy, and Boggs is in Jail.
On the whole we know Of no business
In which the maxim that honesty IL the
best policy is more useful than In
b ,nkink. A banks credit is as dellc-
ate rs woman's reputation, and when
q banker begins to indulge In shady
schemes the end of his rope is not far
of. Perhaps insolvency is not the

aid. has found out.
1t is especially bad policy for bank
to 60 into politics. If public deposits
are accepted with the idea Of keeping
them indefinitely through political
favoritism, and loans are made on that
basis. the bank is at the mercy Of any
political enemy whom the chances Of
war may bring into office. 1t IL need
less TO dwell upon the Disadvantages of
the political banking system for the
taxpayers. Tacoma has burned her
fingers 30 badly that when she gets
them out Of -four aud cotton she may
be expected to keep them away from
the fires. +. Examiner.

Cleveland is q great man. First he
and his man Carlisle. who was free
silver senator, told the Kentucky
Democrats that they should not adopt
silver platform, even after nearly all
the county conventions had declared
for IL. And they yielded.
Then Cleyeland told them that II
they put up Pat Martin for governor
he would beat him. And he has done
IL. The poor fool Democrats knew and
felt that the rank and Gle fools wanted
Martin and 20 they put him up for
governor and he made fool canvass
according to his fool convictions as
silver man and the Office holders and
Democratic bankers and capitalists
who worship Cleveland went TO work
to elect the Republican candidate and
succeeded.
Poor Kentucky focl Democrats! They
will know better next time than TO
cross the superior wisdom Of man of
destiny. What business haye the poor
fool Democrats Of Kentucky adyoca,-
ing silver or anything else that the
people want, when Cleveland and
Great Britain have provided good
enough financial system for them?
They haye been taught q good lesson
and will next year no doubt obedIently
fall In line and cast their votes for the

a third term. Pat Martin and General

FOOTBALL AT CORVALLIS.
ANXIETY Over The Outcome Of Next
Saturday. Game.

creases says tho Corvallis Times. IL
is 10 be played ou o. A. G. field next
Saturday, aud will he betwee the y.
A. q. and Pacific University elevens.
Increased interest ls pinned to the re-
suit, because:of the ug ly fact that If o.
A. q. should suffer defeat, IL will shut
the eleven out from further contests for
the pennant, fact that, since they
have coach engaged to train them
until after Thanksgiving, would leave
them In an embarrassing situation.
That Is to say-thelr guns would be
loaded, cooked and prlmed, but there
would be no enemy on which to draw
q bead and pull their triggers. Inter
est is augmented too, by the fact that
1t ls known that In the .. A. G. team
there is excellent material, but on ac-
count Of the late start made Ia begin
ming the work Of training which
leaves the players not In first class con-
dltion for the game, the eleven is hand
lcapped andlthe prospect for them to
come out Of the game victorious, is by
no means fattering. All this con-
spires to awaken all Glasses to realiza'
tion that there lie danger Of defeat In
the air, and leads to discussion of the
facts and a universally expressed hope
that next Saturdays game may end
Ia victory for the home TEEN. In fact
interest In football is 80 aroused that
juvenile teams with members scarcely
out of swaddllng clothes are In train
ing all over town, and contests are al
most as numerous as there are back
yards and alley ways for them to hap
pen In.
The o. A. Q. eleven is hard at work,
and Coach Downing is proving to be
the right man In the right place.
Four ten minute innings with q three
minute rest after each, are played
every evening, aud are followed by a
run and = rub down at the dormitory.
Several new players are developing
strength and aptitude for the game,
and II the trick of Interference Is sat
IsfactoriIy improved during the current
week, there will be fair chance of u
victory, Saturday.

is not long until he has u monopoly OF
It. Let some one lift 1t out of a per-
sonal groove, and essay to discuss
general topics, and the result is repetl-
tlon Of the same performance on the

Does he suppose that he or his busl-
ness is OF all-absorbing interest ? What
u pity there Is not some way to get rid
OF him. But he Is yet In his youth.
He will live as long rs time lasts. 1t
ls useless to try to educate him to be
something different. The only thing
TO do is to avoid him as much as pos
slble, and when 1t becomes necessary y
to remain In his society, do the best
you can at folling his attempts at self

| mand at Mare Island for two years and a
half, is looked upon as an able officer, but
a martinez and his discipline has caused
friction on more than one occasion, par
ticularly among those who think that
their positions place them a little outside
his jurisdiction.
Several weeks ago quantity of coal ar
| rived at the yard. 1t was Mr.. Clopton's
duty, as clerk of the Inspection Board, to
| inspect and weigh this coal. He did not
| happen to be on hand and Captain Howl
son, after waiting his arrival for some time,
sent marine after him. Mr.. Clopton
went into the commandant's Office calmly
and came out precisely the reverse.
Just what passed inside will probably
| not be known until one or the other tells it
| on the witness-stand, but the fact is that
| Captain Howison's voice was heard talk
| ing rapidly in high key and Mr.. Clopton
came out with flashing eyes and very
white face. He Immediately sat down
and wrote a red-hot letter TO his friend
the Secretary, in which Captain Howison
was handled without gloves.
In due time an answer arrived in which
| Secretary Herbert rather intimated that
charges against superior officers very often
fell through, but also stated that in case
Mr.. Clopton was determined to push the
| matter it must be done in a perfectly
formal and regular manner, according TO
the army ana navy regulations. his
| meant that any charges against Govern
ment employe at the Mare Island yard
must go through its proper channel-Com-
mandant Howison's Office.
Clerk Clopton had apparently not cooled
| off in the least. for the semi-parentaI ad-
vice had no effect on him, and he at once
wrote out list of charges, based on the
| interview in the commandments Office, and
other incidents of like nature, and handed
them to the commandant through the
medium of a subordinate.
Just what Is contained in the document
now in the hands of Secretary Herbert will
probably not be known until the prospec-
| tive Board of Inquiry convenes, for the
| etiquette OF the navy seals the lips of the
| principals in the affair as well as of those
| about them, and it was only by the merest
chance that the facts of the case were
learned at all.
| It is said, however, that Commandant
| Howiston is charged with exceeding his
authority and with using improper lang
! guage to a subordinate. 1t is even be-
iieved likely that the clerk went so far as
| to charge his superior with conduct un-
| becoming an officer and gentleman" a
| complaint which every naval or army
! officer looks upon with horror.

RA1LRoAD STATION INDICATOR. - Many
ideas have been worked out for the con-
struction OF station indicator for railway
stations and trains, and many have been
patented; but that seems to be as far as
they have got. An indicator is about to be
fitted upon the cars of the Metropolitan n
District Railway, London, England, which
looks ike practicable device. This rail-
way has about forty-eight stations
and frequent trains, so that the
at q sufficient distance beyond each
station. clear of the switches,
a piece of timber about four inches wide by
twenty feet long is placed on chairs fas-
tened to the sleepers just in the middle OF
the track. This carrie. Intermediary gear,
which transmits movement to vertical
rod running up to shaft on the roof. As
this shaft moves to the right or the left 1t
actuates an endless chain within the car,
which carries the names of the stations in
conspicuous letters, so that whichever
way the train is moving it actuates the
apparatus on the track and the endless
chain is moved eorrsspondiDgly.

County. Mr.. Rich has athletic records
galore. In 1888, at the field day of the
University of the Pacific in San Jose, he
captured three tirsts and one second out
of fourteen events, and two of the marks
he set were coast records at that time.
They were standing broad jump, 10 feet 2
inches, and running high jump, 5 feet 6
inches
In 1889 at the field day of the same insti-
tuition Rich secured five firsts and one
second out OF Is events, and established
three new coast records. These were stand
ing high Jump feet, running hitch-kick, 8
feet inches. and throwing the baseball. $50
feet inches. The standing hiEh-iump
was at that time within X inches Of the
American record. In addition to these
Mr.. Rich was captain of the State Normal
School baseball team in 1887, and played
in Stanford's rush line during 1882 and
1S93
W. K. Guthrie is another senior with an
athletic record. He Is d grandson OF DR..
Guthrie the celebrated Scotch divine, and
Is famous about Edinburgh for his skill at
tennis, lacrosse, football and cricket. At
Cam bridge he played with the football team
which contested in the finals for the cham
pionship of the South or England. His
lacrosse team held the all-England cham
pionship for three years. At cricket his
work with the Brechim team was known
throughout Scotland, and he and his
brother, T. C. Guthrie, played together for
the Liberton Tennis Club of Edinburgh
for three years without defeat. Guthrie
is also long-distance runner, and at his
favorite mark, three miles, is said to be in
vincibIe.
Mr.. Guthrie, beingssin his senior year, is
8 licensed preacher. Last summer he
presided over the Presbyterian Church at
| Belvedere and met with considerable sue
cess. Last Sunday he preached for DR..
| Church in this City and made very favor
able impression.
Arthur II. Barnhisel, student of the
middle year, is well known among Celiior-
mia athletes for his work as eenter-rush
on the Stanford teams of 1891 and 1892. In
1898 he attended Cornell College and
played center-rush on the Varsity eleven.
Center-rush Lewis of the Harvard team,
The San Francisco call., 1895-10-11

who was conceded to be one of the leading
players of that year, said that Barnhisel
was the cieverest center he had ever played
against. Barnhisel has also taken three
hKsts Tor the mile run-two at the Univer-
sity OF the Pacific in 1890 and 1891, and
one at Stanford in 1892. In 1891 he also
established coast record of feet inches
for the running hitch kick.
Of the juniors, Alfonso Bell of Riverside
secured the first prize for the pole vault at
the intercollegiate contests last year. He
is also dangerous contestant in the 100
yard dash. There are other athletes
among the juniors, including dark horse,
for the go and 440 yard dashes.
The students at the seminary would
like to hold field day of their own before
the end of the year. but realize the i'm
possibility of covering the whole number
of events with only thirty-ene men to
draw from, and this is which has turned
their attention toward the intercollegiate
contests. They believe that by entering
five or six men in picked events they can
capture at least two hrsts and enough
minor places to make the attempt worth
while. In case it shall be finally deter
mined, the entries from the seminary will
probably be:
Dash, 100 ysrds-Rieh '95. Bell '9s, Mar
shall '98.
Dash, go yards-Bell 'es. Marshall '9s.
Dash 440 yards-Barnhisel '97. Marshall '9S
