THE PURPOSE OF EDUCA-
TON.
Some Obstacles Met i'm Accom-
plishing That Purpose.
GEO. ROBBINS.

In the light Of the preceding
papers of this series, we feel JUST.
fed in making the statement that
one-half Of the teachers Of this
country are in a state Of arrested
development. When ones edu-
cation ends anywhere along the
line of primary effort he is I'M
fitted for the position Of teacher,
because his attempt to teach can
end in no higher results than his
own efforts to acquire have reached.
If ones education has ended any,
where along the line Of high
school effort he is still unified for
the teachers profession, because
he is still in the plane of mechan-
ical thinking. and can impart no
more than he contains. These
have the reputation of teach ers,
but are lacking in those elements
which constitute a teacher of high
character.
Such an education is one sided
and is inimical to the best and
highest interests Of hum inity.
The very best corrective for this
one-sided education is found in
college education. (The term col
lege is not intended to include
those abortions which are the
progeny OF the diseased brain of
an educational empire J The
purpose Of the college is to free
the individual from the shackels of
the lower, those bonds which tend
toward keeping him moving in the
same direction and in the same
channel. 1t enables him to COM
mand the services OF the lower,
instead Of being subject to IT.

There are but two ways other
than the regular college course
which will enable the individual
to acquire character as teacher.
One is through persistent, personal
effort made independently Of the
schools. the other is by attendance
and study in good Normal
School. The latter is by far the
the better of the two. The legiti-
mate work of the Normal School
is to give its students a college
training plus a professional train
ing This it does as far as it can,
but it is hampered by the clog Of
arrested development / have
already mentioned. 1t is a great
pity that the Normal School should
be compelled to decend to the
plane of mechanical effort and COM
plete the work of the high school
before it can take up its own.
Its effort should be upon the plane
of ethical insight. When it can
do its legitimate work only, its
position will be beside the college
and the theological seminary. God
speed the day when this education
al millennium shall begin and all
charlatanry, chicanery and incom-
potency be relegated to the doom
they SO richly deserve, oblivion.

Teachers Institute.

The Annual Teachers Institute
will be held at the Court House
in this city, beginning on Monday,
August 10th, and continuing
through the week. Miss Lucy
Pattie, the County Superintendent,
has secured the services of Prof.
w. E. Lumley, of Pulaski, Tenn.
to conduct the proceedings and a
very attractive programme will be
prepared, interspersed with music,
readings, &c. The law requires
every teacher holding a county
certificate to attend the Institute
and the time of holding it has
been fixed so that its sessions will
not interfere with their school
duties.

OREGON'S SENATORIAL FIGHT
EX : ATTORNEY GENERAL GEORGE
H. WILLIAMS LOOMS AS THE
DARK HORSE.
DoLPH's CHANGES OF REELECTION
WANING AND HIS SUPPORT
ERs MAY DESERT.

SALEM, Or. Feb. 21.-The Oregon Legis-
lature will adjourn sine die next Saturday
at midnight. This was decided upon to-
day by the passage of resolution in both
houses fixing the time of adjournment.
The contest for United States Senator
which has been carried on during the en-
tire session, is the all-absorbing topic To-
day Dolph lost two votes, and many pre-
dict that his support will go to pieces to-
morrow.
The opposition to Dolph has centered
upon George II. Williams, ex-United
States Attorney General, and he now has
twenty-nine votes. The situation tonight
seems to point to the election of Williams,
as he is believed to be the second choice of
the Dolph men. Those who bolted the
caucus nominee undoubtedly favor Cover
nor Lord as first choice, but without the
support of a number of Dolph men it will
be impossible to elect, unless the Demo
Gratis and Populists take hand, and this is
not likely to occur. The last ballot to-
day stood: DoIph So, Williams %, Hare 10,
Raley 6, Waldo 2, McAllister 1. Necessary

MARTINEZ, Feb. 21.-A mass-meeting of
the citizens of Martinez and vicinity was
held at the Courthouse last night. 1t was
a large gathering of men very much in
earnest. They met for the purpose of in
dorsing the following resolution passed by
the Board of Trustees of the Incorporated
town of Martinez:
ResoIued, That we are heartily in sympathy
with the people of San Francisco in their eff
fort to construct competing railway through
Contra Costa County into the San JOAQUIN
Valley, and believe that the interests of the
stockholders of the new line will be best sub
served if Martinez is chosen as the deep-water
terminus, this being the highest point at which
ships load and proceed directly to sea. In the
event of Martinez being station on the pro-
posed road we will do all in our power to aid
the enterprise by providing, as far as possible.
right of way and ground for depot, wharf. and
warehouse purposes.
The resolution when read was unani-
mously and enthusiastically indorsed.
Speeches were made by DR.. Caruthers.
Simon Blum, capitalist; w. K. Cole, one
of the most enterprising young business
men of the town; r. r. Bunker, editor of
nent business men and property-owners.
A committee of three was appointed to
go to San Francisco and confer with the
directors of the prospective valley railroad
in behalf of the citizens of Martinez.
The committee is good one, consisting
of T. II. Mcmahon, president of the Board
of Trustees of Martinez; County Surveyor
w. K. Cole and William II. Hale, cashier
of the Bank of Martinez.
The meeting adjourned subject to the
call of this committee of three on their re-
turn from San Francisco. If they meet
with favorable recognition by the directors
of the projected road they will begin the
work of raising subscriptions at once.
Martinez is awake to the competing road
question, and from now on the citizens
are going to sing the praise of this fresh
water harbor.

ITS SCOPE THE SAME AS PROVIDED
FOR THE INVESTIGATION
COMMISSION.
IT C0NFERS EQUAL POWERS
FULL TEXT OF THE MEASURE INTRO
DUCED IN THE ASSEM-
BLY,.

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 21.-The cry of the
would-be reformers who see evil lurking in
every corner, and who have been clamor-
ing for a reform machine with which to
dredge all sorts of alleged iniquities on the
ground that the grand juries were not able
to cope with the vice which they see rear
ing hydra-headed in their phantssmal
dreams, is about to be stilled.
If the bill which Assemblyman Powers
of San Francisco has introduced becomes
law the whole matter will have resolved
itself into the original proposition that the
Fitzgerald bill and the Union League Club
bill and the preachers bill are unnecessary
and expensive plans, and that the Grand
Jury is the proper body to probe any
wrongdoing if it exists.
Powers bill provides when majority of
Grand Jury so desires. the jury may hold
open sessions and inquire into any matters
in the same way as if they we're in secret
session. A Grand Jury in such cases is
empowered to employ additional counsel
or permit other counsel to cooperate with
the District Attorney. Immunity from
criminal or civil prosecution is promised
to those testifying to matters which may
tend to incriminate them while witnesses
may be forced attend and bring forward
any necessary papers or books.
The bill is brief, and is as follows:
Section L Any grand jury in this State may
at any time, by majority vote of the whole
panel, hold open and public sessions for the
purpose of inquiring into any matter into
which they may now lawfully inquire in secret
session, and may conduct any investigation
and make any inquiry at such public open ses-
sion as it is now competent or lawful for them
| TO hold or make in any other manner.
Sec. 2. Such Grand Jury is hereby empow-
cred to summon witnesses, enforce attendance
issue processes, to send for and examine books
and papers, and in all matters exercise the
same powers and authority as they now possess
and exercise when holding close or secret
sessions.
Sec. 3. Whenever the public interests may
demand, or the Grand Jury may deem proper,
said jury may, by majority vote of the entire
panel, employ additional counsel, or permit of
the attendance of other counsel te assist or CO.
operate with the District Attorney.
Sec. A. Any person who appears before the
Grand Jury and who is by them permitted or
required to give testimony, and who tes tifes
against any person accused of crime, or whose
official or public conduct is under investiga-
ton, shall not thereafter be liable to indict-
ment or presentment by information, nor to
prosecution or punishment for the offense with
reference to which his testimony was given
and may plead or prove the giving of testi-
mony accordingly, in bar of such Indictment,
Information or prosecution. Nor shall such
testimony be used to establish civil liability
against such witness.
Sec. z. This act shall take effect and be in
force from and after its passage.

men from the Union to the Starr. AS
soon as the wheat at the latter mill is
ground the Union viii be started up again
and run to its full capacity. That will be
within three weeks or month.
The statements that the men at the
Union were made to work thirteen hours
day and that their wages were cut are
untrue. Ten hours is the most any man
had to work and there was no cut in the
wages of any milling corporation in the
State. The Crown Milling Company was
never offered 81 0oo, 900 to enter combine
as was stated. The statement that the
Union mill will be dismantled is ridicu-
lous, as we have spent a great deal of
money in perfecting its machinery and it
is splendid and profitable mill 1t will

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 21.-Among the bills
that have been buried in the Assembly's
committee-room is one numbered 800 and
labelled, ITO provide for the construction

INTEREST At WASHINGTON.
Republican Senators Hotchfng the Oregon
and Idaho StruggIes.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-Interest in the
contests over the election of Senators in
the States of Oregon, Delaware and Idaho
was revived in the Senate to-day by the
circulation of a telegram received by SEN
ator Mitchell of Oregon, stating that the
Legislature Of that State would adjourn to-
morrow night or Saturday, but the appre-
hension which this part of the telegram
aroused among Republican Senators was
somewhat allayed by the assurance which
was added that an election would occur
before adjournment.
The information which this dispatch
brought led to the inquiry as to the out
look for adjournment in Idaho and the
prospect of an election there. Senator
Dubois was able to state that the session
would close March 7, but he could furnish
no information as to the prospect of an
election. There is no limit to the term of
the Delaware Legislature.
There has been slight renewal of the
talk of having the Republican members to
com bine in some recommendations to the
Legislatures of these various States as to
the necessity of making a Senatorial choice
before adjournment. but the same objec-
ton has been made at this time as was
made when the project was first agitated,
and it does not appear that anything will
be done

PERMANENTLY.

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 21.--A domestic trag-
edy that nearly cost three lives was enacted
here at o'clock this morning. The cause
was a woman and wife's mad jealousy
Mrs. Lizzie Beamish, ''the woman in the
case" was shot by Mrs. John Brissell, the
wife OF constable. The shooting occurred
in Mrs. Beamish's rooms at the Mansion
House, where Mrs. Brissell had found her
husband a short time before.
The origin of the trouble dates back a
number of years. Mrs. Brissell claims
that Mrs. Beamish followed her husband
up and wrote him letters from many
places. Many of these she has in her pos
session.
whenever would find proof of my
husbands unfaithfulness," she said, che
would always promise to reform. Why,
only this morning he kissed me when he
left the house and said he was going into
the country"
But something in his manner made his
wife think he was lying to her. She knew
Mrs. Beamish had room on the first floor
OF the Mansion House and hurried to the
room. She found her husband trying to
get into Mrs. Beamish's apartment and
proceeded to pummel him. Then she
started for her home.
Her husband reached the house a short
time later and upbraided his wife for the
punishment which she had inflicted and
which he had borne quietly at the hotel.
This angered Mrs. Brissell and another
fight ensued, in the course of which the
husband was scratched and clawed consid-
erably. He also had his shoulder dislo-
Gated by falling down the steps in trying to
get away.
The enraged wife then armed herself.
and hurried back to the Mansion House.
She said nothing to the employees, but
walked Immediately into Mrs. Beamish's IS
room and fired at her.
The first shot took effect in the fieshy
part of the thigh There were several
more shots fired, but all went wide of the
mark.
The screams of the wounded woman and
the noise of the shooting brought a crowd
of people to the scene. As they arrived
Mrs, Brissell attempted to shoot herself,
but was disarmed and taken to her home.
Brissell is a Constable here. In telling
some Of his friends about the matter this
morning he exhibited great feeling. He
assured them that his call on Mrs. Beamish
was on a matter of business entirely.
''My home is wrecked, " he sobbed, break
ing down entirely. 81 will never again
return to my wife, who has brought this
misery upon me-"
As he said this he drew his revolver from
his pocket and put it to his temple
Just as he pulled the trigger Robert
Goods, who stood near, seized the pistol.
He was just in time, for the hammer in
descending caught on heavy ring upon
Goods little finger, cutting it in two.
Mrs. Beamish is the divorced wife of the
captain of river trading steamer. She
goes by the name of Mrs. Lizzie Moore, and
was employed for long time in the State
bindery. Her wound, while painful, is not
dangerous. No arrests have been made.

NOTED SAT- LIKE CASE ENDS.
Valentine HithdratCs His Charges 4gainst
His Wife and Her Male Nurse

SALT LAKE, Feb. 21.-The Mulvaney-
Valentine proceedings were ended in court
to-day by the District Attorney withdraw
ing all the charges against Valentine and
Mrs. Mulvaney, including the contempt
case against Mulvaney, the latter to pay
all costs in the cases.
The case was a sensational one. Mrs.
Mulvaney and Valentine were arrested a
short time ago, just as they were about to
cross the line into Mexico, on complaint of
the woman's husband, who alleged that
the couple were elopers, and that his wife
had taken his money and jewelry. They
were returned to Salt Lake. Mrs Mulva-
ney insisted that it was not an elopement,
and that Valentine was merely a nurse
whom she had engaged to attend her.
The case was in the courts for some
weeks and Mrs. Mulvaney decided to her
husband property which he alleged be-
longed to him. This was probably the
compromise basis on which the charges
were withdrawn.
