SAW DEPUTY ABUSE CONVICT.
Sensational Charge Brought to Light
in Ortoff's Case.

Butte, Mont, Aug. 19.-Pursuant
to legal advice, Michael Egan aban-
doned an autopsy upon the remains OF
Frank Ortoff, the Wyoming stage rob-
Der and leader of the recent Jail
break, whose body was found hanging
in cell Saturday morning.
The allegations were made that Or
toff's suicide was due to terrible pun
ishment inflicted at the Jail, it being
alleged in a signed statement made
by Edward Dorval, chief operator of
the Western Union, that he had seen
a deputy sheriff stamp upon the pris-
oner's stomach until the schakled
man became unconscious.
Coroner Egan declares that the
question of Ortoff's treatment by the
taller is a matter for the county com
missioners, and not for him to inves-
tigate, as it has been proven beyond
doubt that death was directly due
to the suicide. 1t is stated that the
federal authorities will order an au-
topsy, as Ortoff was a United States
prisoner, charged with robbing the
mails Of stages.

partner came to town with the circus
and remained here to work. He was
taken to the county jail and will be
charged with burglary. Cave lost a
valuable watch and chain, but these
were not found on the prisoner, and 1t

1T is NOT A BATH TUB.

Chicago. Aug. 19-"This aquarium
is for tadpoles and fishes and Is not
intended as a swimming pool for stu
dents"
This notice on a large placard was
tackled to a tree near the new aquar'
ium on the University Of Chicago cam
pus today.
The beautiful $4,000 home for the
tadpoles, frogs and fishes is almost
completed. The basings were fllled
with water Monday evening.
This little lake, with its cool water,
proved tempting to number OF men
who live in Hitchcock hall and AFTER
dark Tuesday night they went over IN
to Hull court, where the acqquarlllm
is located and had a refreshing
plunge. Hence the sign on the tree.

SNUG EMBEZZLER
STOLE $4,000

Boston, Aug. LIT has been dis
covered that William S. Allen, the
embezzling treasurer of the Metho-
dist Preachers Aid society, also took
$4,000 of the funds of the Methodist
Historical society, of which he was
trustee. This brings the total Of his
embezzlement from Methodist organ
izations up to s11S,0O0. Before he
fed he borrowed $4,000 from friends
1t is generally believed his losses IN
Wall street were not heavy and that
he took with him fully $4,000.
Following the clew furnished by
Lewis S. Gates Of this city, who re-
ported having seen Allen at Roches-
ter, N. Y, Thursday, the Boston po-
lice believe they are squarely on the
track of the fugitive.

Eastern Teachers Are Given No Ad.
vantage.

Salem, Or, Aug 1S.-The State
Board of Education has recently made
a ruling which will prevent the grad
yates of normal schools Of other
states from securing state papers in
this state, unless they have passed
state examinations the same as are
now required of graduates Of Oregon
normal schools.
The reason for this is that the
board will not give to certificates and
diplomas of other states higher
credit than is given to similar papers
in this state. This ruling is in a
measure matter of protection to the
Oregon teacher, who is required to
take state examination whenever his
or her graduation may be. In an
nouncing the ruling, the state board
gave out the following brief state
ment:
The state board of education is
not authorized to indOrse a state pa
per from another state, unless it was
secured in consequence of an exam
nation conducted by state authori-
ties of the state issuing the paper.
In other words, state paper issued
from an institution of learning can
not be Endorsed by the Oregon State
Board of Education.
.''If applicants would bear the above
ruling in mini, when making applica-
tons for state papers, much time and
annoyance to all concerned would be
avoided"
1t often occurs that teacher comes
to Oregon from an eastern state and
has a state diploma secured in pur-
suance of graduation from a state nor
NAL school after an examination be-
fore members of the faculty of the
faculty of the school. Such teachers
apply to the state board Of education
for state paper in Oregon upon the
credit Of the paper they already hold
The law upon the subject authorizes
the board to grant state papers upon
the credit of such papers from an
other state, provided the board is
satisfied that said papers were secur-
ed by passing an examination equiva
lent to that given by the state pa
pers."
Teachers who come here from the
east put a liberal construction upon
the word equivalent" but the State
Board of Education, being the state
Judge in the matter, holds that equiv
alent" means not only that the exam
alton must not only De upon satisfac
tory subjects, but that the eXamina
ton must have been conducted by
state authorities.
Any more liberal rule would be Civ
ing to graduates Of normal schools
in other states privileges which are
not granted to graduates Of normal
schools in this state, and this thu
board will not do.

ment OF the White House saloon. H.

HE ACCUSES A PRIEST.

Waterbury. Conn, Aug. 19.-Louis
Strucks has brought suit against the
Rev. Joseph F. Senesac, pastor of st.
Anne's Roman Catholic church in
this city, for 100000 Strucks charges
Father Senesac with alternating the
affections of his wife.
Mrs Strucks is a pretty woman of
&C. Her husband is nearly so. Father
Senesac is a handsome man OF 80.
Strucks in his complaint says his
wife first met the priest at a church
fair in Hartford in the winter of 1900
He declared the wrong doing of the
pair began Aug. 1, 1900, and has con-
tinued up to the present time.
He says that when he first discov'
cred it he drove his wife from his
home and started to shoot the priest
Friends who learned of his plan, pre-
vented the shooting. He adds that
he brings suit only in order that
Father Senesac may be exposed and
punished.
Father Senesac, who comes OF an
old Montreal family and who has
made several pilgrimages to Rome
was declared not at home when re
porter called at the parochial resi-
dence. His intimate friends in the
parish declare that the charges were
untrue.

Guarded trains, the religious excite

Several times has it blazed forth

About a week ago woman agitatOr

were away at work in the fields some
miles from their homes, and in their
absence she wrought up the females
10 such a pitch that they discarded
all their clothing and prepared to
follow her on the journey to Christ.
They formed procession, and,
chanting the weird dirge-like hymns

Talking at length on it's great neces-
sity through life. He explained that
it should be given earnest attention
all the time the child was under it's
instructors. Above and beyond all, it
is necessary for a teacher to guard her
own language most carefully in local
isns and words most generally incor-
rectly used. Eternal vigilance being
the cost of good English. The preva-
lent definitions of some grammar terms
as adverbs being, why, when or how,
words as defined by some authors,
he disparaged in the strongest terms
advising clear definitions and more
thorough preparation. In conclusion
he advised the use of text books in the
fifth grade.
Prof. Beeman took the floor at the
opening of the afternoon session, speak
ing very earnestly in the condemna-
ton of so much time being given to
arithmetic; rapid drill work in the
underlying principles, especially ad-
dition, being of the utmost Importance
The spiral system, as taught by
Walsh, he explained advising the use
of same above fifth grade. The subject
OF arithmetic was here dropped, for
lack of time, to be resumed on tomor-
row and Prof. Lewis began his lecture
on school law.
He had quite an amount of ground
to cover but touched especially on the
laws dealing with contract, contagious
diseases, location of school sites, uses
of school buildings for other purposes,
saying the responsibility and permis-
sion for the latter rested entirely with
the custodians of the school property.
He here made a strong plea for closing
the smaller schools and transporting
the pupils, at state expense, to larger
and better institutions stating it as be-
ing agreeable to the law. In closing
he dwelt upon corporal punishment as
being legal, unless injuring the child;
the rights of Indians to enter anv
school, and the proper distribution of
school money.
The talk by Mr.. Lewis relating to
duties of officers was closely followed.
The law being very specific in regard
to the hiring of teachers, was one sub
ject emphasized by him.

One day will be devoted to the discus
sion of farm crops, irrigation, soil
cultivation, etc. Another day will be

finally prepared for publication.
Some of the meetings will be held in
