CLEANING UP THE TOWN.
Wrecl<aEe and Debris Caused by
Heppner, Ore, Flood Fast
disappearing.

Heppner. Ore, June 24.-The clear
ing away of the debris caused by the
flood is progressing rapidly. The
result of organized work in a sys-
tematic manner is evident on all
sides and soon all wreckage will have
been removed.
Only two buildings remain on Main
street that were carried there by the
waters and the dead sediment that
was deposited in the street is being
speedily removed. The sanitary con-
ditions of the town at present are
far better than had been hoped for,
but every precaution is being taken
to guard against an epidemic. DR..
Smith, who represents the state
board of health, ordered alkali from
the hills to be spread upon the
streets and that work is now being
accomplished. Four bodies were re-
covered during Monday. They were:
Charles NJ. Peterson, a travelling
man from Chicago.
Iva Ashbaugh.
Mrs. Frank Hartman.
One unidentified man.
One hundred and seventy-seven
bodies have been recovered and 35
persons missing The relief fund
has reached $4,000.

WEST POINT HAZ1NG ENDED.
The Board of Visitors Makes a Flat
terinG Report ON Condition.
at Military school.

The board of visitors to the West
Point military academy has made it's
report to the secretary of war. The
report is interesting chiefly because
of the very general commendation of
the conditions at the academy. It is
especially noted that the discipline is
excellent, and that hazing has disap-
peared, save in one or two cases of a
very mild character. The board made
very thorough examination of the
plans and specifications, which have
been prepared under the direction of
the secretary of war, for new build
ings and other improvements at the
academy, and they are approved with
out reservation. The total expendi-
ture for these improvements will be
$5,50O,o ,o00.

MINNESOTA NEWS.
PrehIatorIc.

What appears to be rare specimen
OF prehistoric remains was unearth-
ed near here when the skeleton of
human being and some earthen and
stone vessels were found and brought
to the city by S. S. Stadsvold, prop
rietor of the Fosston flour mill, and
Lewis Lohn, cashier of the Bank of
Fosston.
Messrs. Stadvold and Lohn were
visiting at Mr.. Lohn's farm, near
Beaulieu, on the border of the White
Earth Indian reservation, and were
watching some workmen who were
making a cellar for a new building.
The men had gone some depth into
the side of the hill, the intention be-
ing to make a large root cellar, when
the shovel of one of them came in
contact with a hard substance which
gave forth a metallic sound
The workmen stopped to examine
what the obstacle was and found it
to be an iron ring fastened to some>
thing further in the side of the hill.
Pulling on the ring disclosed the fact
that it was attahed to an iron door,
which swung outward, disclosing a
large opening. Looking into the
opening, it was found that it led to a
large cave, which was strewn with
pieces of broken stones of peculiar
shapes, and in one corner was stone
box, in which, on being opened, was
found the perfect skeleton of a hu-
man being.
Some stone implements, represent
ing hammers, arrow darts and other
peculiar implements, were also in the
box. The skeleton was at least seven
feet in length. Mr.. Lohn has placed
the skeleton and other articles in a
sealed glass receptacle and put them
with rare collection of Indian re-
lies which he possesses. It is believ-
ed that the cave was once the resort
of mound-builders, or of the Indians
in the very long ago, as the imple-
ments found are of very ancient pat
tern.

TAKES AIRSHIP TO RACES.
SantOs-DumOnt Visits Track at Long,
champs Course in His
Aerial Machine.

Santos Dumont the other day paid
the visit to the Longchamps race
course in his No. 9 airship which he
had originally planned to make on
Grand Prix day. On leaving the shed
he made straight for the course, and
arrived over the betting Office be-
tween the third and four races. He
turned the airship around with the
greatest ease and coolness, and
brought it slowly down among the
spectators, who cheered him with
enthusiasm.
Some of the spectators endeavoredi
to catch hold of the guide rope, but
| Santos Dumont shouted to them to-
leave it alone, and the airship
touched the ground without any as
sistance, though with the greatest
facility.
All interest in the racing was tenn
porarily eclipsed by Santos Dumont's
triumphal descent. Men threw up
their hats in the air as they cheered,
and women waved their handker-
chiefs.
After passing few minutes in
shaking hands and receiving con-
gratulations the intrepid aeronaut
took his departure in the direction
of Bagatelle.
Amid renewed cheers the specta-
tors rushed to the betting booths and
backed the horse that was No. 9 on
the programme-Edmon Blanc's
Tigellin-which won in field of %.
Curiously enough, Franz Gardeners
Menestrel, which defeated Quo Vadis
in the preceding race, while Santos
Dumont was approaching, was also
No. on the programme.

LION TO HAVE GLASS EYE.
Prince Who Lost His Optic in an At
fair Of Honor to De Fitted with
Artificial Member.

Prince, one of Bostock's lions, is to
wear a glass eye. In Richmond he
had an affair of honor which cost him
his left eye. A veterinarian dressed
his torn eyelids, but he had to be
strapped down and resisted so that
he still bears the marks of the ropes.
Bostock undertook to measure him
for glass eye, but when the keepers
appeared Prince became so wild that
the eye was measured as well as pos
sible without binding him. He will
have to be strapped down when the eye
is put in. Bostock thinks Prince will
tear it out, and wire cage to inclose
the eye will be put on him until he be-
comes accustomed to it.

MAY CLIMB PEAK OF ANDES,
Miss Annie S. Peck Of Michl9Rn Heads
Party to Scale Mount sorats, =
Highest Peak in World.

The Panama liner Seguranca, which
has just sailed from New York, had
on board the mountain-climb bing expe7
dition headed by Miss Annie S. PeckI
the University of Michigan graduate,
who hopes to climb Mount Sorata, the
peak of the Andes, which is one of the
highest elevations on earth. In the
party are President Tight, of the Uni7
versity of New Mexico, and Antoina
Maquiguaz, who was the chief guide
in the Andes with the expeditions of
the duke of Abruzzi and Sir Martin
Conway.
Miss Peck and her party hope to-
reach Mollendo, Peru, before the midi
die of July and from that point they
will go overland to Arequipa, where
the Harvard observatory is located,
standing on an elevation something
more than 1000 feet above the sea
level. The party will remain here =
week and will make an effort to climb
Ell Misti. This will be done more for
practice than for any scientific discov-
cries that they hope to make. From
this point they will proceed to Lake
Titicaca, which is close by Sorata, and
above which that great peak towers.
When the ascent of this will COM
mence depends entirely upon CLIMATIC
conditions. Miss Peck has had the
expedition equipped to provide as
nearly as possible for every obstacle
met by former climbers who attempt
ed this peak.
In the equipment are five oxygen
tanks, that is, one for each member
of the party and one extra reserve
tank. These are made of rubber, ar
ranged SO that they are worn over the
shoulder just as soldiers carry
blankets on forced marches Each of
the tanks has capacity of ten gallons
and to each there is attached rubber
tube fitted with an inhaler, by means
of which the gas is to be taken when
required. The oxygen will be manu-
factured by DR.. Tight. who takes with
him complete manufacturing ap-
paratus.

But as they were enterDrising
enough to obtain control Of all of it
that was in sight before OVERS knew
its rare possibilities, there is little
poloninm to be had even in Eurone
except through them, and practically
none at all in America.
Radium also is the discovery Of
Nine. Curie. What radium will do
she herself believes. poloninm will do
to a far greater degree. If, as DR..
Lunden. German scientist, is re-
ported to have said in Berlin. he has
"roved by experiments that rays re-
f1ected from radium enable the blind
to see more or less clearly, then ra-
dunn and polonium may yet be des-
tined to work veritable modern mira
cles.

cannot be doubted Tor they vert
seen by the thousands who Witnessed
the affair. 1t is also known that the
arrangements for the lynching wert
talked of in advance, and that mer
were invited to participate and
given notice of when and where te
assemble. It was this fact that
gave publicity to the lynching, for the
news that it was to occur Monday
night was circulated around Viii
mington, with the result that the
thousands who went out at night die
SO with the knowledge that the affair
would come off according to arrange
ments.
It is a fact that public sentiment
so generally approves the lynching
that it would be hard to secure the
conviction of a lyncher even if ar
rests are made, which seems doubt
full
During the day thousands of per
sons went to the scene of the lynch
ing, many of them intent upon secur
ing CHASTITY relics. In this, however
they met with little success, as the
burning had been so effectual as to
destroy almost every vestige of the
victims body. The only remains
were pieces of his bones.
In order to reach the scene many
of these people walked the three
miles from Wilmington in drizzling
rain. and those who rode on the troll
leys cars had to walk a mile before
they reached the spot. But nothing
could abate their ardor, and all day
there was a constant stream of peo-
pie travelling along the road.
Judge Grubb, of the county court,
has made a public statement, in
which he deplores the lynching Of
White and it's consequent reflection
upon the good name of Delaware.
Judge Grubb also explained the ac-
tion of the court in refusing to call
a special session of the grand jury
for the Indictment of Miss Bishops
murderer. He says the trial would
have been attended by such public
clamor and prejudice that fair trial
would have been impossible and the
court would have been compelled to
grant the motion of the prisoners
counsel for change of venue. Once
the prisoner was moved to the inse-
cure Jail of Kent county or Sussex
county he might have escaped.

RADIUM is OUTDONE.
Discovery by Nine. Curie of Polon-
ium Exceeds Earlier Triumph.
The Value Of the New Metal Ia Un.
limlted-It Gives Constant
Light Without the Loss Of
Heat or Substance.

Polonlum, the neW element which
has been exploited in series of
most interesting experiments by
Prof. w. Markwell before the chem
ical congress in Berlin, is really the
discovery OF a woman-one of the
most learned women in the world,
and one who is to-day recognized as
among the truly great pioneers of
chemistry. Married to a Frenchman,
she is Pole by birth, and it was
patriotism that led her to give to her
new discovery the name by which the
world now knows it-polonium.
Scientists as yet understand too
little of the marvellous properties of
this new element to venture more
than vague predictions of what
sphere of future usefulness it NAV
fill; but it is not improbable that it
may be found to perform the present
functions of the so-called Roentgen
or x rays far more powerfully and
without the cumbrous apparatus now
essential to their use.
In q much higher degree even than
rad1um it possesses the property of
shining in the dark, and, although it
Is known that actual particles. infin-
1tesimally small, are being shot out
from it continually-a fact which is
proved by magnetic experiment.
this strange substance does not seem
to exhaust itself nor lose its lumin-
GUS powers with the passage of time.
Here, therefore, is hint at least of
the future possibility of constant
and brilliant illuminant generated
without heat or combustion.
AS a result Of the discovery of this
woman, Nine. Curie, she and her hus-
band and few chosen associates are
enjoying at present a practical mo-
nopoly Of treasure mine richer
far than one of gold or diamonds.
Polonium is more valuable than radi-
um, and Prof. Curie himself, who has
a chemically pure specimen of
radium not larger than a buckshot
and weighing less than half a grain.
would not sell it for $4,000. Strange
~ enough, the substance from which
these precious grains of polonium
are extracted is pitchblende, sort
of by-product found in Austria and
heretofore regarded as valueless
after it had been used for the extrac-
ton Of uranium
It is from the castoff material Of
a bohemian mine operated by the
Austrian government that Nine.
Curie and her husband are now OBJ
tanning their rich store Of polonium.

TUGBOAT RUN DOWN.
Sinks as Result Of Collision with
Steamer Chemung Near Buffalo
Three Drowned.

Buffalo, N. Y, June 24.-The great
lakes tug o. w. Cheney was run down
by the propeller Chemung early Tues
day about seven miles up the lake.
Three members Of the tug . crew were
drowned as follows:
Capt. John Whalen.
Andy Shafer, steward.
Eddie Dugan, fireman.
The engineer, James T. Byers, and
the other fireman were picked up by
the tug Frank S. Butler and brought
to this city.
The Cheney had gone up the lakes to
meet the Chemung and tow her into
port. AS the tug nea<ed the propeller
and drew close to take the line she
ran under the bow Of the Chemung.
The propeller's bow hit the tug amid
ships, capsizing and sinking it.

FINEST LIBRARY ON ANARCHY,
Books, Pamphlets and Flaming Pos
tiers of the Most Violent Char
acter Secured by Columbia.

The Columbia library on Morning.
side Heights has just come into the
possession of a complete anarchistio
library of some 1900 books, pamph-
let's and documents, and in a few
weeks they will be ready for refer
ence. 1t is stated by DR.. James P.
Garfield, the head librarian, that ii
is the most complete collection of its
kind in the world. It originally be-
longed to . French anarchist. On hin
death in London last year the collec-
ton passed into the hands of admin
istrators, and they had the books put
up at auction. Columbia bought
them for 500.
The collection includes 252 sets Of
newspapers and periodicals., nine
tenths of which are complete. There
are about 26O anarchistic books and
pamphlets. A very large collection Of
autograph letters and autograph
manuscripts by leading anarchists
from Bakouin down are feature.
Photographs very extensive col
lection of them-and even songs and
clippings from nonarchistic papers
areincluded, but tho crowninE fea-

there seems to be little doubt that

SeemlnQly WRONGFUL.

The annual meeting of the state
normal school board, held at the capi-
tol developed some interesting educa-
tional discussion. The presidents of
the five schools presented reports, all
of which were full of meat. The last
one, by President Millspaugh of Wi
mona, called attention to the state law
which discriminates against grad
yates of the normal schools. It pro-
vides that principals of graded and
semi-graded schools must be grad
yates of the advanced course in the
normal schools, or must hold a pro-
fessional or first grade certificate.
The high school graduate who goes
right to teaching can get a first grade
certificate in year, but the graduate
of an elementary course in normal
school, which takes much longer,
must pass q rigid examination and
take year of teaching before being
eligible.

OUR STATE MILITIA.
The Interstate National Guard A.
ISOLATION Meets.
SECRETARY ROOT MAKES A SPEECH,


Columbus, O., May 5.-The meeting
OF the Interstate National Guard
Association Of the United States
opened here yesterday with rs
states and territories represented.
Secretary Root and Assistant Secre-
tary Sanger, with staff of regular
army officers, were present, and Sec
rotary Root made an address In the
fafternoon. He was greeted by en-
thusiastic applause. Speaking Of
the new militia law he said: "Sone
had supposed that Immediately aft
er the passage of the new law code
of decisions would be issued, defln-
ing certain parts and passages in the
bill. Nothing could have been more
unfortunate than such a belief. The
code is very broad; 1t will have to
be applied to many conditions arising
In different communities, some rich,
some poor, and the questions will
have to be handled as they arise, and
with all the leniency possible to meet
such conditions.
There are only two ways Of rails
ing an army, by CONSUMPTION or by
voluntary service. The national
guard is the great school of the vol
nnteers. 1t is not intended that the
national government shall pay the
expenses Of maintaining the guard,
but it is intended that It shall add to
the efficiency, the strength and the
dignity of the guard. A question now
being considered is the minimum Of
the company, and II is serious one.
II should not be fixed 30 as to kill
the organization Of company in
the rural districts, where the young
men are not so numerous as in the
cities. The required five days train
ing Is also to be considered-what
kind Of training and many other
things are to be determined.
Lines should be laid down so that
