BOY SERIOUSLY HURT
Wounded in the Neck by Wadding of Blank
Cartridge.
The Affair Conceded to Have Been an
Accident-The Child Rest
ing Well.

Emmett Hutchinson, seven years old, was
seriously injured yesterday afternoon by
the accidental discharge of a rife in the
hands of William Palmer. The shooting
took place at the house of Mr.. Robert s.
Hutchinson, the boys father. No 1901 X
street northwest, where Palmer boards.
Palmer was cleaning the rifle, and the little
boy, who showed a chiId's interest in fire.
AIMS, remained near him. When he had
the weapon oiled and in good condition, his
finger accidentally touched the trigger and
discharged blank cartridge. The wadding
from the cartridge entered the boys neck
and inflicted an ugly wound Had there been
bullet in the cartridge the boy would
doubtless have lost his life.
As soon as possible the little sufferer was
hurried to the office of a physician in the
neighbOrhood. and upon the latter's advice
n was soon afterward removed to the
Emergency Hospital. Because of the ap-
parently serious condition of the victim,
Policeman Green arrested Palmer and took
him to the first precinct station, where he
was detained in the wtress room.
Why Arrest Was Made.
That the affair was an accident no one
doubted. but the police thought best to hold
Palmer until something elore definite about
the boys injury could be ascertained. At
the Emergency Hospital the doctors sue
ceeded in removing particles of the waddng
from the wound, and the patient rested
well during the night. This morning he ap-
peare1 much better, and the physicians
were more hopeful of his ultimate recovery
than they were last night
Palmer, who is twenty years old, is a
member OF the ID. G. n. G., and it was a
rifle belonging to the guard that he was
cleaning when The unfortunate snot was
hred. he was particularly fond of the lit
Tie boy, and regrets very much the sad oc-
CuTfence. 1t was not the desire of the boys
iather That Palmer should be arrested for
ne was confident the affair was purely an
accident.
This afternoon it was reported that the
poy condition showed further signs of
Improvement. Palmer is still he'd at the
first precinct. 1t is probable he will be
released when the patient is reported out
of danger.

there should be one university left in

ought, when he comes to die, to go to
the kind of hell an early Oregon sen.
ator dreamed about. That is, place
without any women in it.
The political situation in Ohio was
so critical for the republicans that
President Mckinley had to visit the
state and make few speeches. 1t is a
sad commentary on the popularity of
his administration when he is alarmed
about the success of his party in his
own state, which is at least ,S0,0 900 re-
publicans, when the declarations of the
party platform are nothing but en-
dorsements OF his acts. Evidently he
realizes that he has been failure as a
president.
We are told that the Philippine is
lands are American territory by right
of purchase from Spain. If this is
true, why should exports from the
United States be made to pay duty
before they can be admitted to the
ports of entry? The constitution pro-
vides that there shall be no duties
levied on interstate commerce. YET
General Beebe, of Portland, has been
forced to call upon Secretary Root and
urge that existing duties now placed
upon American food products. =
ed into the Philippines, be either re-
duced or abandoned. The moment
the islands became United States ter
ritory, if in fact they ever have, trade
between them and the states should
be made free else the, constitution is
violated. But the constitution does
not cut much figure with the present
administration.

says: "All is well here. Colonel
Hore engaged the Beers at Mafeking

A Aspecial dispatch TO the Cape Argus
reiterates the statement that in the
fighting in Mateklng Colonel Hore
repulsed the Beers, inficting loss of
800 men. The Cape Times published
the following dispatch from Kimber-
ley: Reliable Information from
Mafeking says that an armored train,
while accommodating north of the town
last Saturday, engaged 500 Beers, who
suffered heavily. Colonel Fitzclaur-

Complaints of Beers outrages upon
natives continue to arrive. These
serve further to inhame the Basutos

from johannesburg arrived at Burgher-

the Beers mad robbed them whole
sale and fogged them with black
snakes. The party, which included

with provision, and the Basutos then
started homeward, cheering for the

seem as If the public has been seeking
that class of plays having as their
fundamental principle, the creation of
merriment.
Working for this idea. the author of

ing and well told story that Fitz and
Webster's clever company of comedy
players have succecded in celebrating
into an enjoyable entertainment.
Meritorious from the fact that it not
only has all the elements of music and
fun, but its story is coherent and full
OF we'll sustained interest.
The three acts of "A Breezy Time"
have been happily impreguated with
music. songs, dances and amusing
specially features, all of which are in
troduced in an easy and perfectly legt-
innate manner, and the presentation
gives bright and cris o entertainment. en-
The finale of the last act was ar
'anged by Fitz and Webster in which

England has d way of doing things a
little differently than other nations.
When she sends ageneral to conquer
country she gives him full authority
to do as he pleases. General Butler
has been sent to South Africa to whip
the Beers and take charge of Trans
vaal republic. His authority there is
absolute. He will not only be a mill
tary dictator, hut will have authority
to make terms of peace as he sees fit.
Butler will not be hampered by any in.
struction from the war office, but will
be able to carry on the conquest as
he sees fit. America might profit by
methods. l. it is going to
carry on its wars of conquest and ex.
tend it's domain over the globe, it
wants to send ouS good, strong gen.
eral, give him plenty of soldiers, and
him to carry on his slaughter
until the last opponent has bitten the
lust. There is but one way to con-
luct war successfully and that is to
place the management under one
mans control.

Ious yankees will be repudiated by
their own government the moment
that Mr.. Cham berlain calls the at
ntion of our noble executive to the
iniquity. Our noble executive is i'm
mediately and completely responsive
to the wishes of the senior member of
the Anglo-Saxon alliance, and he will
at once issue bill of accommodation
against all and singular the unscru-
puIous yankees who have ranged them
selves on the side of Mr.. Kruger in
opposition to benevolent assimilation
by the Lee Metford route. We may
permit ourselves to doubt. however,
whether this proceeding npon the part
of our noble executive will produce in
the INSCRIPTIONS yankees permanent
insomnia. They are probably case
hardened wretches, who are imperv-
ious to moral considerations.
AS to the execratiou of their fellow
countrymen we entertain some slight
doubts. From all the data at band We
are led to believe that in addition to
the INSCRIPTIONS yankees now in the
Transvaal there are good many at
home who would be glad enough to go
there for the sake of taking crack at
our elder brethern of the sentimental
alliance. The INSCRIPTIONS yankee is
an irreverent person. and not even
the admonitions of our noble eXecu-
tive and of the White Rose club of
Boston have yet inspired in him
proper affection and respect for our
elder bretheren who once ergetical.
ly sought TO assimilate the Beers.
All things considered, therefore, I'VE
are inclined to believe that the Gazette
will have. to content itself with our
noble executives scething reputation
of the unscrupulous yankees. The
execration part of the program will
haye to be carried out in London. If
be attempted in the 5Transvaal we
should advise the execrators to keep
behind trees during the performance.

Farmer Geer was in Washington
self interviewed by press correspond
ents. Among other things he said:
"The people of my state are over
whelming for expansion. Not only do
the people favor the program of the
administration, but they want to see
the Philippine islands retained"
There will be an election held in Ore
gon next June, when the question of
endorsing the ''program of the ad-
will be made an issue.
and then Governor Geer will learn
how badly he is mistaken about the
people in "my state" being "over-
for expansion"

THE NEW ROAD LAW.
1t Leaves Matters Somewhat Confused
RegaI ding Roads.

1t Leaves Matters Somewhat Confused
RegaI ding Roads.
1t comes to light that the last legis-
lature adopted measure calculated to
affect the administration of road mat
ters in all the counties of the state.
Although the new law does not repeal
any of the laws already on the statute
books, that is, in so many words by
specific repeating clause, it practically
repeals the others or parts of them.
The statutory provisions of this state
for road business appears 30 be some
what mixed. At the present time
there are three road laws upon the
statute books. One provides for the
old system of road supervision by road
district supervisors appointed by the
county court, and each one absolutely
independent ot every other one
Then another law was enacted, EN-.
powering the county court to appoint
county superintendent over all the
public roads of the county, and to i'm
POoO q Soou iOdO udA lOE buC IdluG0u
ance of the highways, in place of the
oil of labor with which formerly it |
has been the custom under warrant O
the statute to permit the payment of
the annual road assessment.
Then, later still, at the last session
of the legislature, third law was en-
acted, making these provisions:
The county court "must" divide the1
county into districts, according to it's
and at the general
state election of 1900, and annually
supervisor must be elect
ed by the voters of each district. One
provision of the law is that no voting
precinct may be partly in one district 1
and partly in another. Another pro.
vision of the law is that when candj-
late is elected to the position of road {
he shall be fined $25 by the
ustice court in his district, the fine t
money going into the funds for the d
of the roads of that 10 s
ality. p
All these various laws leave matters p
omewhat confused. The provisions "
or the election of supervisors next Il
ear is mandatory, but what is to be W
one between now and the next gen.
raj election is question. In the ii
lean time our public roads are being L
eglected, and the travelling public is pl
ntering complaints continually of the al
unsatisfactory condition of highways. g,
