Doesn't Think 1t Feasible.

Professor T., L. Barnard, of the Lick
Observatory, does not think much of the
scheme of a Chicago man for building an
enormous telescope near San Diego, Cal,
which is to have the largest glass in the
world, made up of n numberless small
lenses. He is working on wrong hypo-
thesis" he says what he wants is not
a great glass of the kind proposed, but to
do what has not been done-tnd Il means
of quieting the atmosphere, In other
words, his proposition is an absurdity,'

STEVENSON CASE ENDED
DECIDED AT LENGTH IN FAVOR OF
RAILROAD

After a careful two months consider
alton of the evidence in the case, Judge
Kerr, of the district court, St. Paul, has
reversed the order Of the state railrad
and warehouse commission, in deciding
the "Steenerson wheat rate case.
Upon the application of Elias STEINER
son Minnesota farmer for reduction
of rates from Crookston, Fisher and East
Grand Forks to the Twin Cities, the
commission made a new general sched-
ule for the Great Northern road. The
latter corporation appealed to the dis
trict court, where it was reviewed In
very exhaustive argument. In a lengthy
memorandum Judge Kerr holds, as
grounds for reversal, that an enforce
ment of the order of the commission,
would deprive the railroad company of
any net returns from the operation of its
road.

"Anthra, disease of sheep, is pre-

doctors, who can find no remedy to
counteract it's ravages.
"a number Of bullocks shipped from
Victoria colony to England have died
from pleuro-pneumonia on shipboard.
Cattlemen generally are greatly excited,
fearing that England will stop all ship
ments.
pilgrims are constantly returning
from the new Australian colony in

was made to start model settlement
founded on the teachings Of Bellamy,
but that instead, the whole settlement
was run by the devil. The sufferings of

Roland Yeend Fatally Burned al
WaI!a WaIla.
WAS JUST ABLE TO CRAWL OUT
The Wool Warehouse Of C. Cunningham
Near Pilot Rock Destroyed by
IncendiaricS.

Walla Walla, June 11.-Roland Ye-
end, manager of the Farmers Alliance
warehouse, of which the Farmers bank
Of this city was practically owner, was
fatally burned this afternoon. At
o'clock fire broke out in the warehouse,
which is directly opposite the general
offices and depot of the Washington &
Columbia River railway. The fire de-
partment responded promptly, but the
corrugated iron building was wrapped
in flames in few minutes, and the en-
tire building, with farm machinery,
grain sacks, ETC., was total loss. The
fire was red hot and scorched buildings
block away. Amid the flames man
was seen to crawl upon his hands and
knees to the sidewalk, where what
clothing was not yet burned off him
was torn away. He suffered intense
and Glove did all possible to save his
life, which was fast ebbing away. Rev.
Evers rendered a prayer for the unfort-
innate man, while the heart-broken wife
was bending over her husband. Tele-
graph poles, boxcars and buildings near
by were at times on fire. The building
contained goods to the amount Of about
$4,000, while it was valued at $4,000.
The insurance is about S. 500.
The exact origin Of the fire is matter
of conjecture, but it is said children
| with matches dropped one near where
the Oil was stored. Yeend says that
when he discovered the fire he ran up
stairs for the books to put them in the
safe, and when making his way out
the flames enveloped him. He says he
could have made his escape through a
window without serious damage. He is
about "a years Of age, has a wife and
three children, and is comfortably
fixed. Physicians say he can not live
through the night.

Incendiaries Again Visit the Property OF
Charles Cunningham.

Charles Cunningham.
Pendleton, Or, June n.-Over 500
sacks Of wool, 24O, 900 pounds, are burn
ing fiercely at Charles Cunningham's
Birch creek sheep ranch, three miles
beyond Pilot Rock, where the big fires
occurred Monday morning. This great
pile of wool is a seething mass of
flames, which at times burst out and
rise to height of 200 feet.
The wool has been burning since 8
o'clock this morning, for at that hour
came fire fiends a second time. After
applying quantities of coal Oil, they
held matches at different places and
then mounted horses for a hasty re-
treat.
Mr.. Cunningham was sleeping in the
orchard 100 feet away with seven wool
haulerS, who were to commence this
morning to haul the wool to Pendleton
He had made hunks on the ground in
the midst of the desolation Of the fire
Of the night before, and with loaded
pistols by his side commenced to watch
for the possible APPROACH of incendiaries
Part of the men slept and part watched
At 3 O'Clock, when the watchmen dozed,
two men stole up and accomplished
their purpose. Bright flames suddenly
shot up and cast their lurid light
against the dark hills surrounding the
ranch domestic. The men sprang to
their feet, to learn instantly what was
transpiring, and set Immediately to
work to find whittier had gone the
scoundrels. Horse tracks were discov-
cred and trailed one mile down the
rodad toward Pendleton. Here the
track was lost.
