Sarah Mobley, a negro child twenty months old was burned 10 death yes- terday morning about 3 o'clock. Her par ents who were awakened by her screams were unable to do anything for the le- tie sufferer. The infant inhaled some of the flames and before It's parents could reach it and extinguish them she was beyond all hope. She died in few min Fifteenth streets.
 The child's limbs were badly burned and the raw flesh was exposed to the air in many places. The childs 8 parents lived in Sixth Alley between Fourteenth and Fifteenth street.
 It Is supp )sed the childs clothing caught fire from a match which she must have 5truck without knowing what harm 1t might do. She crawled from her bed without the knowledge Of her parents and went to a small table which stands near where a box of matches is kept. She struck one of them on the box and it caught hec night clothing and in a second she was in flames.
 The the ory has been advanced that the child wes walking in its sleep and that the burns walked 1t too late for It's SCI cams to waken the parents in time to put the flames cut.
 The remains of the child were sent yes tcIday to Tuscaloosa, where the inter ment will be tomorrow.

 Utilized Few Minutes.
 MT. Jones of Virginia untilized a few minutes, as he said, to express the record of Buencamino, a member of the civil service commission at Manila, who ap- peared before the insular committee ana who yesterday made a pilgrimage to Mo Kinley's tomb at Canton. He first quoted the opinion of General Otis contained in an interview had with them by Theodore w. Moves of the Evening Star of this city, in which General Otis described Buencamino as a professional turncoat, who was everything by turns and noth- ing long,"
 Mir. Jones also read a long letter writ ten to him by Sixto Lopez quoting Buen- camino In 1895 as extolling Spain ana Weyler and denouncing Dr. Risal, the Filipino martyr, In honor or whose mem ory Buencamino Is now attempting to in- augurate an exposition at Manila.
 "I see by the morning papers," MT. Jones continued, yesterday this man Buencamino visited Mrs. Mckinley and shed tears; that he visited Mckinley 8 tomH and again shed tears. This Is very remarkable, because in a memorial to Congress last year this miserable creat- ure charged that the commencement of | hostilities was due to the direct orders of | President Mckinley"

TWO TORE FOREST RESERVES.
New Tracts in Eastern Oregon With
drawn from Entry.

Olegonian News Bureau, Washing.
ton, Nov. lS-on Recommendation oI
the Geological Survey, the Secretary
OF the Interior today ordered the
Withdrawal Of two additional bodies Of
land in Eastern Oregon, with view
to the creation OF forest reserves.
The one tract embraces the Powder
River Mountains and contiguous
country, about $50 townships in all
and extends from the Snake river on
the east to point few miles east Of
Union and Cove on the east. the
withdrawal being boot shaped, with
the toe turned north. The towns of
CornucoPia and Medical Springs are
about four miles south OF the southern
extremity OF the withdrawal, whilc
the City OF Enterprise, as well as
Wallowa Lake, have been excluded
on the north from the original recon-
mendation OF the Geological Survey.
Many private entries have been ex-
cluded. This withdrawal is also rec
commended by Congressman elect
Williamson.
The second withdrawal embraces
about IA townships lying along the
northern end OF the Blue Mountain.
range, following the Union and Una
tilla County line, embodying all un.
oscupied public timber lands and the
headwaters OF many small streams
tributary to the Grand Ronde and
Umatilla Rivers. This withdrawal
also extends into Washington, where
1t embraces about l3 townships in
Asotin and Columbia Counties, being
northern extremity OF the Blue Noun
tain range. Practically all OF the
land included within these withdraw
ais Is unsurveyed. None OF the low
lands valuable for agricultural pur-
poses have been included, and, as far
as possible, all lands covered by en-
tries, Of one form or another, have
been excluded 1t is probable that
the Presidential proclamation which
will finally create these reserves will
eliminate all but public lands from
the final reserves, which are contem.
plated is much to preserve the water
supply as to preserve the timber,

following from the Antelope Herald
III. D. Langilla, general forestry in
spector, met number of the stock
mems union here, last Friday, and
discussed with them the question of
pasturage in the forest reserve. Mr..
Langille sta ed that the aim OF the
government was the greatest good to
the creates. number. and that the
greats, int rest centered in the pres
e:vation and utilization OF the timber
supply II pointed out that by the
setting side OF the Cascade reserve. it
ha Teen protected from the land
grabbers, and the lands had been pre-
served for tn use Oi the people, sub
ject only to proper restrictions. Toe
chi-f inquiry made by the department
is: What number OF sheep will the
reserve carry without injuring the
permanency o the grazing, and how
can that number be apportioned with
Justice to all? Those matters were
thoroughly discussed, and before clos.
ing MS remarks, Mr.. Laugille stated
that as long as tha sheepman will dc
their utmost TO COOP rate with the
government in promoting the useful
ness o. the reserve, they may rest as

She's a Great State.

other straw (c-d) of the same thick

ends C, d. e, and closed tight with

Now you have water wheel. Place
the cork in glass filled with water,
as shown in the Illustration, and have
two persons suck on the two small
side pieces of straw. AS soon as the
water will get into motion the appa-

By keeping the glass filed the appa-

upon him the second time he plunged

The crowd, mad with enthusiasm,

the clamor. All eyes turned in one
direction toward the door which ad-

Jose. surprised by the silence, turned
also. and could scarcely retain an ex-
clamation as he saw Fontella coming
toward him. picking her way amid the
dead horses.
When she got up to him she paused
and In tones which rang clear and loud
in the silence said:
Jose Narvezzo, you have conquered
to-day the fiercest bull in Spain.
Others have cast their tributes of gold
at your feet; l bring you mine. Here
is my hand; take it IL you want it.

where human life would be destroyed.
