Age Limit of Normal.

Another ruling OF the Board last night
was the adjustment OF the minimum age
limit of eighteen years for admission to

less than eighteen years have not been
admitted to the normal school, but the
Board takes the attitude that pupil
of any age may be admitted if necessary
examinations have been passed. Few are
able to do this before they are eighteen

WHILE THEY WORK
Latest Move in Steady Campaign Against
Use of Tobacco-0ther Business
Transacted by Board.

Janitors in the Washington public
schools must not smoke while they work
This ruling was made by the Board
of Education at its meeting last night.
The members Of the Board of Education
decided that the example of a janitor
smoking is bound to have a bad effect
upon the pupils.
This point is declared TO have been
substantiated by the admission of va
rious pupils who have acquired the to-
bacco habit nom the janitors. Frequent
ly the pupils become friendly with the
janitors If the latter smoke the young
sters are likely to beg for a puff until
they gain an appetite for tobacco which
they sometimes never shake off.
The embargo on the janitors smoking
is the latest move in steady campaign
against tobacco waged by the Board. Not
long ago it was announced that dis
missal would be the penalty for the use
OF tobacco during school hours or on
school premises by the pupils. This
rule is said TO have been rigidly en-

Confederate guerrilla during the Civil
War under the celebrated Chief Guam

guerrilla. Consequently William Wal

more salubrious region and crossed

He stopped year or two in Idaho
where he supported hiEAself by trap
ping and hunting. and he became ia
nous as a killer of bears. In 1867 he
went further west and settled in Nor
row county. where he engaged in stock
raising.
About twenty years ago he removed
to his present location in Umatilla
county, where he has been engaged in
the raising of horses, sheep and cat

under Col Brown. While on scouting
duty he discovered a very dangerous
ambuscade prepared by the Indians in
a narrow canon, where they had gath
cred great masses of rock to roll down
upon the troops when passing through
hoping in the confusion to cut them to
pieces. Walker was surrounded by
the Indians for two days on this trip
and escaped only by crawling through
the brush like snake. When he re-
ported the ambuscade the troops
marched against the Indians by a dir

Marcialette, the Oldest, is no less a

is an artist in all the branches of her
profession, but she is also famous as
an expert shot with rifle. About one
year ago she took few days off from
the routine business of the range and
went into the mountains for game.
In less than two weeks she killed and
sent home from the woods twenty-six
deer, without counting coyotes, Jack

wonderful dress was worn by the
Countess Palovolovetsch, which eXcit-

across, and all resting on bed OF
