AN ASYLUM BURNS.
The Illinois Hospital Having 600 Inmates
Destroyed by Fire.

Destroyed by Fire.
ANNA, Ill, Jan. 1.-The center build
ing and south wing of the southern Iii
nois hospital for the insane has been
burning since 1850 p. m. last night.
The building contained nearly 800 pa
tients, all of whom, it is thought, were
gotten out safely, with one exception,
shat of lady. who is supposed to have
persisted in the flames. She Was OBJ
served on the fourth floor of the center
buildings, dressed only in her night
clothes.
None of the attendants or patients had
time to secure their clothing and the
snow worked great hardship in trans
ferring the patients to other quarters.
They were crowded into new building,
already nearly full The loss will ex-
coed 100000.
Terrible confusion prevailed during
the fire and it is miraculous that many
lives were not lost. The north wing IS
all that remains standing. The fire was
under complete subsection before day
light The asylum has its own water
works, but for some reason the system
was ineffective in fighting the fire The
plugs seemed to have been frozen.

NAUTILUS CLUBS WORK.
1t Proposes to Start cooperative Laun-
dry and Bakery.

1t will not be very long until Topeka
will have a full-fedged CO. cooperative
laundry and bakery The members of
the Nautilus club discussed the project
at the regular meeting yesterday after
noon at the home of Mrs. w. W. Gill
Iespie, corner of Fifteenth and College
avenue.
The Nautilus club is literary organ
iZatiOn composed of about thirty College
hill ladies. The main object of the CLUB,
of course, is the study of literature. but
the ladies have several novel schemes
which they propose to put into use, and
this one of a cooperative laundry and
bakery is one of them.
A house. centrally located as to the
members, w i'll be rented and competent
woman placed in charge. All the bak-
ing and the laundry work for the mem
bers will be done at this house, and the
ladies will take turns at supervising the
work.
This is not a money making scheme
however.
In this way the work will not fall
heavily upon any of the ladies, and the
work will be done fully as cheap, if not
cheaper than it could be done at home.
At the meeting yesterday the scheme
was thoroughly discussed. At the next
meeting. which will be held al the home
| of Mrs. q. l. Humphrey, 1907 MuiVaRe
street, steps will be taken toward secur-
| ing the house and the woman to take
charge.
The literary part of the programme
Yesterday was devoted to study of the
| poems OF Oliver Wendell Holmes.
Mrs. M artin Mohler read an excellent
paper on the "Religion of Holmes
Poems" and Mrs. Stewart Sheldon told
of Holmes as d Physician"
The programme was varied little by
most interesting essay by Mrs. Traver
Her subject was: How to It'll
ize the Time Per Day" She
told of how she systematized bel
household work and recommended that
all the members adopt a similar plan
This subject was one in which all seemed
to be much interested, and the ladies' en-
loved a long discussion upon it.
The club will next take mp the study
| of Emerson.

Massacre at the Cascades.
Pendleton Tribute.

Thirty-nIre Years ago yesterday occurred
gon. Perhaps to only one man residing in
Psndleton thoughts of the anniversary and
the terrible Northwest Indian war of 1861 6
required. The scenes were fresh In the
mind Of Judge Bishop. who has reason to
vividly recollect the devsssations of the In.
diaus during that war. In speaking Of the
Cascades massacre yesterday he said:
"Thirty-nine years ago today large band
of Yakmas. Klickitlts and other Ia6lan
tribes killed l6 white men and women at
the Cascades and for two days held posses
sion of the settlement. There wore 80 or
40 houses at the upper landing and or 10
a mile below at the middle landing, where
the block house stood. Every one who
could escape fed to the block house and
sought refuge there. Jay Swltzler just
escaped with his life. He was nearly caught
and the Indians were after him, shooting rs
they ran, and he sped over that ground ct
the rate of mile a minute until he reached
the block house. ALI bat Q few soldiers
had gone away from this point to guard
Others, and the Indians. seeing their oppor-
tunity. bes,eged the town. In two days
Colonel Wright, who. with about 500 men
of the Ninth regiment. Second dragons aud
Third artillery, had started for Walla
Walla, returned, hanged eight or nine In
dians. put the rest to fight and reIleyed the
situation. NY house was burned with sew
eral others. Phil Sheridan, whom ! was
with during part OF the fight. tried to make
q landing on the second day of the massa-
ere, but was driven away by the fighting
Indians"

Portland's Population.

The Evening Telegram says: Com
plete census returns from 81 precincts
in the city show total population In
these precincts of 81, 800, of which 49,
300 are legal voters The portion OF the
| city not included in the returns lies in
the business district, where there are
| many hotels and lodging-houses, the in
habitants of which will swell the list
considerably, and Assessor Greenleaf es-
Inmates the completed returns from the
entire city will show about $4,000 resi-
dents. The returns from "a precincts
show 1900 more persons than the census
of 1890, which gave the population OF the
districts now in the consolidated city as
61,000. The increase in the population
on the East Side has been about 100 per
cent according to Assessor Greenleaf's
estimate, and in some localities even
more. In the outlying precincts, be-
tween Mount Tabor and Sunnyside, out.
side Of the city limits, the increase since
1890 has been greatest. In precinct "a
the population has increased from 400 to
1900, and at Montavilla fro n 200 to 400.
A large increase is shown at Woodstock
and other additions contiguous to the
city limits.
Portland proper has more than held
Its own, with probable increase of 10
10 10 per cent. Another fact shown is
hat the vacant houses on the West Side
ire three to one as compared to the East
s;da

The Sentiment Prevailing.

A commercial man representing a
wholesale firm in Portland had diff
cult time yesterday In securing orders,
until he was made acquainted with the
situation. 1t seems the firm which he
represented bad given its proxy in a
share of stock Of the D P. & A. N. Co.,
which 1t owned, to an enemy Of the pre-
sent board of directors, and the-people
consider d this equivalent to desire to
sell the boats to the railroad company.
This aroused the ire of the community,
and the Portland firm cancelled the
proxy before it could do any business.
After this several orders were taken.
This shows that our citizens are in ear
nest in supporting the boat line, and
that the low freight rates from this city
to seaboard now enjoyed will remain.
