The churches in tie Philippines are

"Private Fluio, company g, Col

all the members OF this company
hail. Their depredations among the
churches in the Philippines are
known to nearly every citizen OF San
Francisco. From General Mccoy
to Private Flutow every member in
the regiment has some relic from a
Catholic church in the Philippines.
Flutow has rosette in the centre
OF which is an exquisite miniature
painting OF the Blessed Virgin,
taken from a Manila convent. The
central painting is surrounded bv
about ten crosses worked in gold
lace. The whole is encased in glass
and is one of the valuable relic taken
from the Manila converts.
"Flutow, in speaking Of his prize
said: This is the only souvenir |

the same opportunity as the other
men OF procuring more valuable

left took this cross from a little
altar from the woman's bedroom.
The thing itself is not worth great

Judging from the appearance of the
cross it was worth at least twenty
times what he asked for it.

VICTORY FOR
SIDE OF RIGHT
Greatest Battle Of the Session Ended as
II ShOnld.
A STRUGGLE
FOR RIGHT
Passage of the DAILY Textbook Bill
Places the Book Trust in Fair
Competition With Other Sellers.

SALEM. Feb. 16.-There is little ques-
tion that the greatest battle of the ses-
sion has been between the friends of the
Daily textbook bill and the American
Book Co., and the dramatic scenes en-.
acted in the house yesterday as the
struggle was drawing to close were
not entirely unexpected.
It has been a struggle between princi-
pie and the best interests of the public
schools on the one hand, and book
trust that has been charged, either
rightfully or wrongfully, with levying
tribute on the schools, on the other.
This tribute, according to the allegations
of those who have been in the thickest
of the fight in opposition to the contin-
uaRce of the book trust influence, has
been predicted both upon the excessive
prices charged for the school books and
the poor quality of the books themselves,
Now that the back of this so-called hy-
dra-headed octupus has been broken, a
more successful future for the educatlon-
al work of the state is predicted.
The American Book Company, against
which so much has been said, is still in
the ring, but only in competition with
other publishing housee. It is now a
free-for> all fight for preference and the
books that may in the future be adopted
will have to win on their own merits.
There is no denying the fact that the
American Book Company has done it's
utmost to defeat the Daily bill, and this
fact perhaps, coupled with its cheap and
useless lobby, has operated in the sue
cess of the bill. The paid agents of the
book company have had little influence
on the members of the house and the
bill might prehaps have been much
more easily defeated had they kept out
of the fight. As one member remarked
yesterday. ''Such lobby of itself is
sufficient to defeat any BILL"
Had this fight eliminated earlier in
the session sensational developments no
doubt would have followed the charges
of bribery and corruption yesterday
made by Flagg and others upon the
floor OF the house.
Representative Fordney claims he has
always been opposed to the DAILY bill,
but Editor Hotter, of the Capital Journal,
contends otherwise.

Paid In Historic Scrip.

STANTON, Or, Jan.15,-An interesting
story follows the death j. w. Worden,
which occurred a few days ago at
Union Hill. For thirty years the aged
doctor had been saving money to pay
his funeral expenses, and before his death
its hiding place was disclosed to the
family. The treasure was buried in the
earth, and when found contained large
sum of fractional paper currency and
greenbacks. An idea of the methods of
the deceased will be gained when it is
stated that Undertaken w. E. Thomas,
of Stayton, was paid $6 of his fee in Lin
coin scrip of the denomination of ten
cents, besides other amounts of the
historic currency. Worden came here
from Kansas shortly after the war.

You are perhaps aware that pneu-

was never followed by that disease when

THE RAILROAD HEARING.
Testimony Was offered by the
Shippers Today.

Washington. Dec. %. By Associated
Press. Before the interstate COM
merce commission today, General Man
ager Herriott. of the Erie road, gave
testimony touching the proposed new
classification of freight, 10 be put into
effect Jan. L. He said the classification
was adopted because of the necessity of
she roads concerned securing increased
revenues. 1t was found impossible to
advance many car load rates, but it
was felt that short hauls of less than
car load lots could afford to pay added
rates.
Former Attorney General Alonnett,
of Ohio, presented largely signed
petition by the shippers, asking the
commission to call on the attorney gen
eral OF the United States TO bring ac-
ton to prevent the railroads putting
the new classification into effect
Jan. 1.
II was objected, on behalf of the COM
mission, that the shippers We're as fully
entitled to go TO the attorney for re-
lief as the commission. The shippers
finally decided to offer testimony in
their own behalf, and b. w. Brown, OF
Cleveland, was sworn. He said 1.-THE
new classification on petroleum would
be absolutely ruinous to small shippers.
The increase ON less than car load
lots above those on car load .lots,
amounted in some instances to as much
as 273 per cent, and in no case was
less than SIS per cent. 6. H. Degloyer,
