The fate of the nation depends in the
last resort on individual character, whether
the individual is an officer of the government
oronly aprivate citizen. Everything in human
government, like everything in individual
conduct, depends, in the end, upon the sense
of duty which dominates the life
Whatever safeguards may be estab-
lished, however complicated or well-adjusted

LATEST ABOUT BRAINS.
6eme Recent Observations on the Re.
1nti0n of Skulls to the Mem
tai Powers.

Mans curiosity is naturally bound
less concerning his brain, which is
believed to be the seat and the token
OF that mental power which makes
him the undisputed king of the earth.
II the brain were really such box of
drawers as some phrenologists have
assumed, with everything in its place
and all possible faculties accounted
Tor, human heads could be classified as
readily as plants, and nobody could
fail to distinguish between them any
more than one can fail to select roses
from lilies, says the London Express.
One might predict absolutely from
q glance at his head that a given
young man must become a great f.
nancier or poet or a philosopher,
with no more danger of mistake
than in asserting that one tree will
produce acorns and another apples.
But the shrewder sort of phrenologists
see that this will not do, and SO they
endeavor to modify the bases Of their
science to suit the infinitely varied
facts of human nature aud develop
ment.
The real progress in brain study Is
made by those who undertake the
work as far as possible without any
preconseived and preperfected theory
to lead or mislead them DR.. H. Man.
tiegka has recently published in the
Proceedings of the Royal Scientific
Society OF Bohemia" some remarkable
observations on the relations Of the
weight of the brain and the size and
shape of the skull to the mental pow
ers of man.
These investigations show the i'm
portance OF good feeding to brain de-
velopment. The brain cannot do its
work without an abundance of pure,
well nourished blood Other things
being equal, heavier brain implies
greater mental power, and Dr., Man
tiegka finds that persons employed in
industries where the nourishment of
the body is apt to be insufficient and
the muscular exercise slight, show, as
rule, higher brains than do more
favorably circumstanced persons.
Blacksmiths and metal workers In
general have heavier brains than
coachmen, but the latter exceed car
penters in brain weight, and carpen-
ters exceed persons employed in cloth
Ing industries, while at the bottom of
the scale stand those who are engaged
In the manufacture and sale of alco-
holic drinks, who are apt to do more
or less drinking themselves.
1t would also appear that the weight
OF the brain may be increased by the
direct exercise Of Its own function,
men OF mental training showing, as a
rule. greater brain weight than others.
1t should be remembered that the size
OF the head cannot be taken as a trust
worthy index of the weight of the
brain. The organic quality is the main

MUST SERVE SENTENCE.

OLYMPIA, Nov. 30.-TOmmy San
tiago Howard must serve his 20-year
sentence for the murder of Kate Ar
quette on the Puyallup Indian reser-
walton in June, 1902. The supreme
court affirmed the decision Of the low
er court today.
Howard was charged with the crime
If murder in the first degree, but the
jury found him guilty of manslaugh-
Ter, and he was sentenced to serve 20
years in the penitentiary.
Howard is an Indian, and one of
the principal questions presented to
the supreme court was whether the
state courts had jurisdiction to try
the case.
1t was contended by Towards at
torneys that the federal statute gives
the United States courts exclusive
jurisdiction to try and punish Indians
on the reservation. (23 Stat. Oh. 341,
362j Sec 9, 1859 The supreme court
holds that this federal statute refers
only to Indians belonging to and sus-
tanning relations to some tribe. How
ards mother was a Nesqually Indian,
his father a Victorian, and Howard
had lived part of his life in Oregon,
and worked for Gentry Brothers
shows and at the time the crime was
committed was residing with his
mother and other relatives in kltsap
county AS he sustained no tribal re-
lations with the Puyallup Indians, on
whose reservation the crime was COM
mitted, the supreme court finds that
the state courts had jurisdiction. The
point decided seems to be an entirely
new one in the courts of the United
States, there being no reported case
where an Indian without tribal reIa-
tons has been tried for a crime COM
mitted within a reservation.
In addition to the point above men
toned, which was not raised in the
trial court, Towards attorneys cited
as errors several instructions deliv-
instructions are sustained in all par
ticulars by the supreme court and the
decision if affirmed.
The crime with which Howard was
charged was a very brutal one. On
the nigt of June 20, 1902, he aroused
Marcellus Spot an aged Indian with
whom Kate Arquette lived, and after
securing entrance to the house drove
Spot away and then to accomplish
another crime choked the woman until
she died. Spot and Howard had two
encounters during the night, in which
Howard tried to stab Spot, but the
latter successfully defended himself
with an ak handle, though receiving
a number of minor injuries.

Holy Rollers.

There is nothing new under the sun
not even the Holy Rollers" A small
band of fanatics, known as Holy Roll
ers,' had a brief career in 1887, in the
town of HardWick, Vt, Their leader,
whose name was Bridgeman, having
had his mind discOmpOsed by frequent
attendance upon prayer meetings in
the neighborhood, professed to be in
spired from on high, and was not long
in enlisting several follows. The ex-
erCses al the meetings of these fan
aticS consisted of the most ludicrOus
and foolish performances, such as
frightful yellings, barking in imitation
and other birds, jumping, swinging
the arms and rolling on the floor, and
from this last circumstance they We're
called the Holy Rollers" Their
leader declared that they must not
shave, and they suffered their boards
to grow for several months, when it
was revealed to another of their num-
Der that they must all shave, and il
was done
| These fanatics were countenanced
and encouraged by large numbers OF
the inhabitants Of Hardwick and the
neighboring towns. The pastor OF the
Congregationalist church, Rev. Mr.
Chester, preached a vigorous sermon
against these abseurdities, which was
published and widely circulated In
! 1888. Some OF their number were i'm
prisoned for disturbance Of religious
worship, and these fanatics were dis
persed
Another set Of fanatics were the
vagabond .Bullardites," the follower.

mon stock, and was used or distribut-
ed according to the dictation of the
prophet. This vagabond sect crossed
the Green mountains to Bennington
county and finally started to the west
in quest of an unknown region which
their leader designated as the prom
ised land" Their final stopping place
was at New Madrid, IS miles below
the mouth of the Ohio, where from dis
ease, privation and desertion they
soon became disintegrated. Billiard
was as imperious with his disciples as
is Dowie.

YEARS GRAIN llEED
ESTIMATED THAT WASHINGl ON
PRODUCED 100000 BUSHELS
OF WHEAT.
Early Statistics Are Shown to Have
Been Very Inaccurate and
Misleading.

An effort is being made by the ag-
x-icultural department of the United
STATES government and the Northern
Pacific railroad TO secure correct
estimate of the grain yield in this
state during the past year, says the
Seattle Post IntelIigencer. Earlier sta
fistics have been shown, by harvest
reports, to have been very inaccurate,
and. if possible, a correct statement
Eyill be secured.
Estimates that have been made on
The wheat yield in Washington have
run from 100000 to 22,000,000 BUSH
els. The higher are the government
figures and in the bulletin issued max
ing this estimate comment was given
over last year.
The government figures are declared
by crop experts to be wildly eXagger-
ated. Instead of showing an increase
the wheat yield of this state fell off
Between % and 80 per cent In GER
tain localities, such as the country
south of the Snake river, an average
yield was had. but elsewhere loss
rs reported.
Grain buyers, who have a thorough
system of reports from interior points,
make estimates of the total yield that
vary between 100000 and 100000.
Very few grain men Will cOncede that
the crop runs over 100000 bushels,
and it is expected when the later re-
ports are received that these figures
will be found nearest the true condi-
Ejon.
Greater reliance is placed by the
railroads upon the grain buyers fig
ures than any others, though of course
the transportation lines have their
OWE crop figures to work upon. But
the grain buyers of necessity are COM
PEELED to get close to the true condi-
ton, and they have been more careful
than others in gathering statements
of crop results.
Stephen J, Fessenden, of Washing
ton, has been in this state and oregon

A WOMAN ROBBER CAUGHT.
Alice Cogwell Who Robbed Many
Houses is in The Tolls.

BY mans of time, patience ami perse
verance the Raleigh Police Department
has landed a sharp negro female thief.
Captain Mart Thompson has been on
the lockout for her since Fair Week
About that time robberies were reportci
