The late lamented legislature
saddled upon the state a bill of ex.
pense that will stick to it like a
brother. We refer to the two little
normal school down in Southern
Oregon-one at Drain and the other
at Ashland. They seem. on first ac-
quaintance, to be innocent little things,
only costing $500 year each, but
they will become elephants before the
state is through with them. Having
got taste of the milk that flows from
the state cowtthe money in the
treasury they will never be choked
off. and as they grow older they will
ask for greater appropriations, just as
the Monmouth school bas, aud in
future will be an expense of some
$4,000 or $4,000 year. Probably
each of these schools will graduate on
an average ten persons yearly who
will engage in school work. This
will be an expense. at the present rate
OF appropriation. of $3.50 per teacher
the state will be required to pay,
simply for their education. If this is
not luxury, we are no Judge.

the United States and obnoxious to
the highest degree to the discipline
and good order of the military estab.
lishment."
Such sentence, it would appear to
the rational mind, is calculated to i'm
pair in the highest degree the conf
dence OF the people in the integrity OF
their president. Such sentence
savors more of a reward than punish.
ment when it is considered that the
president has conferred favor upon
General Eagan, under the guise OF
punishment, greater than he would
haye the authority to confer upon him
as reward of merit under the statutes
of the United States. Such SEN
tence pronounced as punishment for
conduct which the president declares
to be unworthy of an officer holding
commission of the government of the
United States and obnoxious in tho
highest degree to the, discipline and
good order of the military establish.
ment is certainly travesty upon jus.
tice, and reduce the court proceedings
to the level of q farce mocxery. The
rational mind will pronounce this sen.
tence reward and not a punishment
for crime. When it is further under
stood that the six years. term will ex-
pire short time before General Eagan
reaches the age that the law specifies
for the retirement of army officers and
that upon the expiration of the term
of the sentence he again becomes
brigadier-general of the army in time
to receive the benefits of the law that
gives retired army officers three
fourths pay during the remainder OF
their lives, it will be evidence to ra-
tional mind, that in this case If
the convict himself had pronounced
his own sentence he could not have
more securely guarded every individ-
ual interest.
The conclusion is irresistible that
the offense of General Eagan met with
the approval of the president, aud that
when driven in obedience to public
opinion to take official cognizance of
the offense as an outrage on decency,-
gross infraction of military ethics
and subversion of military discipline
he prostituted the power vested in him
by the constitution to pronounce a
sentence that in reality is reward
rather than punishment.

CHAPTER ~
IN WHICH A NOTORIOUS CHARACTER IS IN
TRODUCED.
Fully believing the fellow to be one
of party of pursuers sent to recapture
him, Edward Robin was overcome by
despair. If he had been alone he would
not have hesitated to take desperate
chance of escape by attempting to ride
him down, but Polly's presence render
cd such course impossible He would
willingly have risked his own life, but
felt that he had no right to endangcr
hers. So throwing the reins upon the
horses back and raising his arms above
his head to show that he was unarmed
he called out to the man
Don't shoot! I'll give up!'
At this the stranger lowered his rifle,
and advancing to the side Of the chaise
said gruffly!
"Ye've kept me waiting long time
for this charnce, Joe Westbrook, but
I've got ye ut larst. "
Robin looked down at him bewilder-
eddy.
"Comel' continued the speaker in
peremptory tones. "Out with ye! I've
had my eye on that chestnut nag Of
yer'n for long time, and now l mean
to take it. "
Realizing that it would be useless to
parley, Robin leaped out upon the
ground and then assisted his companion
to alight
cts pretty hard on me, my friend,
he said bitterly, "to be dragged back to
the Goshen Jail after getting so far
away from it. However, If you treat
this poor girl kindly, III not complain.

iehment.

On reaching the foot of the range, it
aeteriorated into a mere trail, some
times passing through dense tni&kets,
ind again following the course of rag
ing torrents yet all the while pursuing
u westerly direction toward the Frontier
settlements on the Delaware
At last they reached the summit of q
steep precipice that overlooked the val
ley they had recently left. Here Robin
drew rein to take survey of his sur
roundings
Below him stretched the dim plain,
around and Above, an impenetrable for
est, humming with . multitude OF in
sect voices and the harsh, wailing cries
Of creatures of the night,
"Oh tell ME, Edward, have we lost
our wayT' asked Polly in terrified
tones
"I'm afraid we have, my dear, he
replied, pressing her little hand to reas-
sure her.
ooh, what will become of us!' she
exclaimed, beginning to cry. "These
mountains are filled with all kinds of
wild beasts, and we'll certainly be de-
voured before morning
At that instant stone came tum-
bling down the rocky trail.
1t was a mere pebble, but to Polly's
frightened ears the sound of its fall was
like the crash of an avalanche With
cry of terror she glanced quickly into
the darkness ahead, fully expecting to
see bear or catamount emerge from
the gloom, but she could distinguish
nothing
"Did you hear that. Edward?' she
whispered fearfully
He motioncd her to keep silent and
listen
Not sound broke the stiffness of the
solitude,
It seemed that even the buzzing in
sects with which the forest abounded
were conscious of the approach of an
enemy They were beginning to breathe
more freely when they heard rustling
noise in the bushes to their right 1t
approached nearer and nearer. and
presently shadowy figure pushed out
of the thicket and stood motionless in

was az fine as any he had ever eaten.
The men who had suffered for lack Of

If there had been mistakes congress
was responsible. He admitted that he
had never heard of canned roast beef
before the war. While 1t was not very
palatable in the tropics, he thought II
would be very good In the cold climate.
A. A. Kirk, cook of Philadelphia
City Troop, testified that he saw re-
frigerated beef aboard the Massachu-
sets that had spoiled. In Porto Rico
the troop bought its own beef on the
hoof. One-third Of the canned beef
he saw was unfit for use. John W.
Springer, Of New Cumberland. Pa,
who acted as commissary sergeant OF
the Governors Troop Of Pennsylvania,
gave similar testimony, as did Arthur
w. Feight. of Carlisle. Pa, also Of the
Governors Troop. The latter declared
maggots were found in the beef broth
aboard the Mississippi. 1t made the

Lieutenant Alexander Frank, Of Gin
