Wauzar Morton, a colored man forty-five
west is sick and has been so for some
time, but today. when Sanitary Officer
Frank sent the ambulance for him, he re-
fused to go to the hospital. He mad an ex-
perience last night that he did not enjoy,
and which, he said, was forced on him. The
Emergency Hospital ambulance was sent
to hls house, but as the case was not one
of emergency, and the Emergency Hospita
wards were already filed, the man was not
admitted. An effort was then made TO
have him sent to one of the other hosp tails,
but as the hour was late, the sergeant on
duty at headquarters directed that the man
be kept at home until this morning. But
today the patient refused TO go to the hos
pital, and said he was not sick enough TO
leave home
Sanitary Officer Frank was at his office
all day Thursday and part of yesterday,
but the friends of the man made no effort
tC have him sent to hospital until after
dark. This frequently happens in cases
of sick people. They are kept at home for
weeks, and then an effort is made in the
dead hour of the night to get them in hos
pltais. The hospital authorities frequently
refuse to take them under such circum-
stances, as they say it is an injustice to
the sleeping patients.

Meets the Boy of the Sheriff Who Hanged
his Father.
Two men of historical connections
met by chance at McMinnyille during
the bimetallic convention Thursday
AS Is the custom in all conventions In
Oregon every delegate does his best to
get acquainted with every other dele
gate, and all delegates speak whether
acquainted or not. Several delegates
were going about introducing rather
handsome man of40 or thereabouts,
whom they called Mr.. Booth, of Nc
Minniville. They would say of him:
"Mr. Booth is son of the sheriff who
hanged John Brown, OF Ossawatomie,
at Harper's Ferry"
All Of which caused people to take
more than common interest in Mr..
Booth. Finally Mr.. Booth was intro
duced to man of excellent appearance
whose name was Solomon Brown. At
ter the eintroduction, Mr.. Booth and Mr..
Brown chatted very pleasantly for a
minute or two.
"Mr. Booth" said Mr.. Brown, "was
it your father who hanged John Brown
at Harper's Ferry?"
"Yes," said Mr.. Booth. "He was
sheriff at that time and it was his duty
to otficiate at the execution. No rela-
tive of yours hope?"
"Only my father" was the quiet
reply.
Mr.. Booth and Mr.. Brown walked to
a quiet corner in the hotel and talked
over old times for half an hour. They
shook hands cordially when separat-

south bank of the river the cabel gave
way, turning the boat loose to hoat
down the river. Mr.. Battle was placed
in rather critical position. for be-
sides himself there were Miss West,
another girl and wagon and team on
the boat, which drifted rapidly down
the swift current, and finally lodged
on an island in the middle of the stream,
The girls wanted to jump off and at
tempt to swim ashore, but Mr.. Battie
persuaded them to stay on board until
parties on shore come to their rescue
with a small boat. Mr.. Battle sue
ceeded in forcing his horses into the
water and making them swim ashore,
but his wagon is still on the boat in
the middle of the river. The boat be-
longs to H a Cleek, of Willow Creek,
and will be hauled back up the river
to the usual crossing.

Our Educators.

The power of importing knowledge
to others is the prime qualification of
teacher. This power Is inherited by
some while with others it must be ac-
quired; and whether inherited or ac-
quired, the faculty can be improved by
a careful course of instruction, such as
is afforded at the normal institute be-
ing held in this city. School teaching
is a science, an art, profession, and
to succeed in this branch of usefulness
the teacher must become student az
much as are the pupils whom he seeks
TO instruct. He must combine the
knowledge be has acquired with that
poss essed by others more proficient
than he, and learn by their experience.
The present normal institute affords
an opportunity for the teacher TO re-
view all branches taught in the public
schools, and instructions are given by
some Of the ablest educators In the
state. The institute is In reality
school for teachers, courses Of study
being taken up and discussed as they
are in the leading normal schools of |
the country. and since the four weeks
Instruction costs the teacher the nomi- |
nal sum Of two dollars, none who de-
lire to advance in the profession can |
veil afford to miss this opportunity for
knowledge and learning the
cience OF imparting it to others.

Campbell went to Prineville and gave
himself up to the sheriff, and on Tues
day OF last week had an examination
before Judge Brink, who held him
without bail to appear before the next
grand jury.
OOther parties state that before Swear
niger died he told them that his wife
held him while Campbell shot him,
and from all that can be learned, it
appears that the killing was deliber-
ately planned scheme between Mrs.
Swearingen and Campbell to get
Swearingen out of the way. He was
killed in the presence of his children,
one OF whom, a girl of IL years, was
pleading with the murderer to not
shoot her father. The feeling in the
community where Swearingen lived is
very bitter against Campbell and Mrs.
Swearingen, and it is feared rash
means will be- resorted to to avenge
the death of the. murdered man.

"A shocking accident occurred Satur-

driving span of horses, when they

throwing Mr.. Renick out. and his
death ensued. ]. L. Killian, of Vansy-

fhs Tipsy Man Not Yet Ready for . Dose
of Embalming Fluid.
It was o'clock a. m. and as yet there
was not a saloon open in town. An
Indianapolis Sentinel man was out for
ride on his bicycle as an appetizer be-
fore breakfast, and as he passed along
he met a poor traveller who was search
ing for drink.
SHAY" said the traveller, "I'm dry;
can ye telerfeller where he can get
sompin' t'drink?"
The reporter could not, but slowed
up and talked to the man as they went
along together. Soon the man spied a
light ahead at place where he knew
there was a saloon, or had been the
day before.
"Now I'm fixed" he said. "Zere's q
friend Of mine," and he started at a
more rapid pace in the direction of the
light. He rushed into the place and
found a young man Strengthening the
furniture about. To the reporter it
was evident that there was no saloon
there, but to the half intoxicated man
the sight of the bar was sufficient, and,
squaring himself, he said: "Give me
some Of your best ikker;" and then,
whats yours, pardner?"
WELL" said the boy, "our best is
pretty good, but not what you need at
present. The only liquor we have is
embalming fluid"
An undertaking establishment was
moving in where saloon had just dis
continued business. The man with the
appetite for drink bowed politely, and
as he edged for the door said: "'Scuse
me, but your got the wrong feller
I'll no doubt see you later, but not
now Ia. Ia"

The Ladies Who Have Been Painting al
Hood River Are Home Again.

Hood River Are Home Again.
The party of ladies who went to
Hood River to join Mrs. Alice Weis.
ter's sketching class for weeks work
in that vicinity, returned Thursday
evening by the Regulator.
They report very profitable week
as we'll as pleasant outing, and If we
might be allowed to judge of the depth
of their artistic tastes by the rosy hue
OF their complexions, especially their
noses, old. Mt. Hoods sunset glow was
still very fresh in their memories. The
ladies are loud in their praise of Mrs.
Webster and her methods, and feel that
in their association with her for a
short week they had been in touch
with the masters and methods of
France, especially beautiful Paris,
from which place Mrs. Webster re-
turned to America three years ago.
While in Paris Mrs. Webster studied
with Gustav Courtois, Raphael, Collin,
DuPain and others, making heads her
specially. She is now professor of the
art department at the Portland Uni
yersity, with studio in A. y. .. W.
temple, Second and Taylor streets,
Portland.
The class, while at Hood River, made
several sketches of different points Of
interest, made more interesting by the
diff3oultiaS in nattipcr tbop, for old Sol

be, and beamed upon them with so
much warmth that mother earth
turned to ashes and increased the in
cline of all her hills and mountains
round about, besides instilltng new
life into all the snakes, worms and
spiders.
Those OF the class who had quarters
at Mt. Hood Hotel will ever remember
Mr.. and Mrs. Bell, the host and host
ess OF the establishment, for their un-
tiring efforts in making all comfortable
and adding to the pleasures of each
day by attentions that were highly ap-
preciated.
Mrs. Webster left Hood River Thurs
day afternoon on the local train for
Portland, from whence she goes to
Gladstone Park to remain week. and
where she will deliver a lecture before
the Chautauqua, on art, about the 18th
Of July, after which she will return to
the Columbia river again, visiting The
Dalles, Cascade Locks and all points
OF. interest between the locks and Port
land, instructing a class in outdoor
work, and all that can accompany her
and receive the instruction will never
regret one minute of the time.
The class at Hood River was of
Dalles ladies, with the exception Of
Miss Edna Hall of Portland, the others
were Mrs. Hugh Glenn, Mrs. Olivia
W. Morgan, Misses Bessie Holcomb,
Myra Helm and Hattie Marden.

or caused them to be killed. At any
rate, that number are now in horse

were peacefully browsing on the
Indian reservation and giving the
manre to every horse with which they
came in contact.
The destruction of these animals,
while from humanitarian and senti-
mental standpoint is not pleasant to
contemplate, has been beneficial, not
only in saving further infection, but In

more value than the average "2-bit

ONLY NOMINAL DAMAGES.
Seufert Bros Get Verdict for Only
82 5000.

Seufert Bros Get a Verdict for Only
$4,000.
The suit of the United States
against Seufert Bros. to condemn
right-of-way for the Cello boat-rail-
way was decided in Judge Bellinger's
court yesterday afternoon. The jury,
after being out about two hours, re-
turned verdict allowing the defend
ants $4,000 damages.
The findings Of the jury are certainly
rather disappointing, since the de-
fendants claimed their property would
be damaged in the sum of $500 and
the evidence adduced by them certainly.
showed that SO acres of this land would
be appropriated by the government.
that their fisheries would be cut off
from the railroad, and that one can
merry would be passed through by the
road, necessitating its removal from
the present location. The evidence
all showed that the Messrs. Seufert
would be damaged at the least calcula-
tion 100000, and how the jury should
assess the damages at one-fourth this
amount, except they were Influenced
by the unusual instruction of the
court THAT the jurors were sole judges
of the matter, and that evidence
as to the amount of damages was
not to be considered" This in
struction OF Judge Bellinger's was, to
say the least, extraordinary, in that it
is generally assumed that competent
witnesses know more of the matters to
which they testify than do ''profes-
sional" Jurors. We're this rule not ac-
cepted, in such cases as this, no testi-
mony would be nee essary; all that
would be required would be for the
jury to look over the ground in contro-,
versy and assess the damages accord
ing to their judgment.
Excepting this ruling OF the court,
the defendants feel that their case was
tried on its merits, and that all fair
ness was shown by the court, but they
take exceptions to the judges instruc-
tions on this material point, and If the
government does not appeal, they will
likely carry the case to the United
States supreme court.

near Omaha, last Saturday, resulting
in the death of about 3Opeople and the
serious injury Of 80 others. A special
train carrying ], 200 people, going from
Omaha to Logan for picnic, was run
into by fast train, the engineer of
the excursion train having misunder-
stood his orders. Many of the in
jured will die, and the fatalities will
probably reach so, while many of the
Injured will be crippled for life.

OUR MILITARY RESOURCES.

80 Other Nation Can Muster So Large an
Army as Uncle Sam.
The United States has been said to
be a warlike nation without being
military nation. Its war potentiaities
are vast indeed, says the Boston Jour
nal It showed that thirty years ago,
when with only a little more than half
it's present population it mustered more
than 5000, 900 men under arms in the
union and confederate forces There
Is now in America the enormous total
Of o,90o, 900 men Of military age eligi-
ble for military service. No civilized
country in the world could place such
gigantic host of men in the field In an
emergency.
OF course, the actual number Of or
ganized, drilled and uniformed citizen
soldiers is only a small fraction of this,
but the real available military strength
of the United States is only inadequate
ly appreciated by the average Ameri-
can. The military spirit which the
civil war engendered has not died out
among the American youth. On the
contrary, it has amply held its own, If
it has not increased. Never before
was the national guard Of the several
states so strong in numbers, so well
armed, so excellently disciplined.
There are 112, 100 of these volunteers
In all, representing infantry, cavalry
and artillery. Their efficiency widely
varies, being high as rule, in the old,
rich, and populous states, and less sat
isfactory in tine newer and sparsely-
settled communities
New York heads the list in numbers
with a well-equipped force of 1850
officers and men-as large as fighting
army corps Of the rebellion. Pennsyl-
vania has force of s,614, whose mettle
was tried two years ago at Homestead;
Ohio has 6,125 and Massachusetts 5,666.
AS it happens, the states in which the
present strike centers are well pre-
pared for such an emergency. Illinois
militia body musters Att men; Indi-
ana's, 2,e33; Iowa's, 1881; Missouri's,
2,4l5, and Michigan's, 2,s01. Illinois is
particularly fortunate in the character
OF its fine city regiments
The. entire organized militia Of the
United States is subject to the orders
of the president and can be moved and
concentrated wherever occasion for its
presence arises. When to this great
army Of 100000 men are added the u.s.
600 regulars and the 1000 or 8, 200 blue
jackets and marines of the warships on
the home station it is obvious that
there Is something more than the po-
liceman's club between the American
people and anarchy.
