He Has a Desire to Destroy All the
Fences and Other Property on
the Farm.

Calvin Pettijohn, who has been an
inmate of the Medical Lake asylum on
two previous occasions, is again to be
examined as to his mental condition.
For the past week Pettijohn has been
causing his relatives near Prescott no
end of trouble and making life miser-
able for every one with whom he has
come in contact. He has a mania for
destroying property about the farm
and it has been necessary to keep a
guard over him continuously. Monday
while the family were occupied in eat
ing their breakfast the demented man
left the house and taking an axe be-
gan cutting down fence. When his
guard attempted to relieve him of the
axe he became violent and threatened
to strike him with the instrument
He was finally overpOwered and Sc
curely locked in small room.
About two months ago he was
brought before a board Of physicians
for examination, but at that time the
examining board did mot deem the
mans mental condition such as would
warrant his commitment to the hos
pital for the insane, and he was dis
charged.

Hundred Horses Will Winter

ALL THE STABLES TO BE USED

That Walla Walla is considered the
best place in the Northwest to winter
is evidenced by the large number Of
horsemen who are bringing their rae
ing animals to the Walla Walla race
track. 1--WE expect to have every one
of the stables at the track filled with

Caswell today. "a large bunch Of
horses which were at the Lewiston
fair last week arrived today, and
large number of other horsemen who
have been wintering at Spokane and
Lewiston have written for stall room.
We will at once commence making
several needed changes at the fair
grounds SO that we can accommodate
all who wish to come. There are at
present about Is horses quartered In
the stables and there will be fully $50
racing animals there before the win
ter weather sets in. The horsemen
claim that they can keep their stock
cheaper in Walla Walla than at any
other point on the circuit, and that the
track is the best one in the state for
training purposes"
Among the horses that arrived this
morning were Aurora B, Judge
Thomas and Chassis, all fast runners.
Chassis broke the record at Lewiston
last week in the quarter and three
eighths dashes.
Bessie r. the twO-year- Old f1lly
owned by Harvey Smails, in training
on the track yesterday went a half
mile in the fast time of ITO. This

horse which won the free-for- all trot
during the races here last month.

TO TEACH THE DEAF.
Persistent Efforts of J. n. Miller Re
suit in Establishing a School
at Seattle.

Through the persistent efforts Of J.
H. Miller. Of this city. a school to
teach speech to the deaf, has been es
tablished in this state. Mr.. Miller Is
in receipt Of a letter from Miss Ina
Smith at Seattle, informing him that
she had established a school in that
city.
At present the lady has only an af-
ternoon class but has more pupils in
prospect and hopes soon to open a
warding school. Mr.. Miller is an en-
thusiast on this subject, and 1t was
mainly through his efforts that Miss
Smith came from the East to take up
the work. The gentleman labored hard
to have an act passed during the last
legislature authorizing the establish
ment of department in the public
schools for the instruction Of the deaf.
but failed in his object. He says that
he will not give up the matter but will
make another effort along this line at
the next meeting Of the legislature.

,-s@-
High School Games.

1.-The Walla Walla Athletic club
football team is fast getting into
FORM" said Coach Otto B. Frank to-
day. Hard practice is being had each
day, and the way the boys are showing
up is surprising. We were disappo1nt-
ed in not getting the game with
Waitsburg last Saturday, as 1 had in
tended to make that one a try-out for
the team. Our first game will probab-
ly be played with Whitman college
next Saturday, and I am confident that
our team will make a good showing.
While the exact line up has not been
decided upon, the team will be made
up as follows: Howard or Smails,
center: w. Kohl right guard; Lasater
or Lankard, right tackle; Coleman,
right end; Fred Kohl, left guard; Es-
ties or Dement,, left tackle; Gray, left
end; Emigh, quarterback; Winans,
right half; Snyder, left half; Fix, full
back"
The Walla Walla team is figuring on
schedule of games with the Spo-
kane Athletic club eleven, the Pendle
ton team and the Normal school team
of Lewiston.
The Walla Walla high school has
completed a schedule of games with
the school teams at Ellensburg and
North Yakima, which will be played
during the present month.
The Athletic club ten pin rollers are
keeping up constant practice for the
big game they have with the Occur
dAlene bowlers Of Spokane. Nearly
making good scores, Charles Andre

MINERS WANT AN
EIGHT HOUR DAY

Denver. May 29.--The Western Fed
Grafton of Miners yesterday referred
all the recommendations of President
Charles Meyer TO committees, and re-
ceived large number of resolutions,
the texts of which were not announced
and which were also sent to commit
tees without discussion.
President Meyers address. which
was first made public yesterday, rec
| ommends that the convention set a
date for the establishment of an uni
versal eight-hour day in all metalli-
ferrous mines. He advises the reaffirm-
alton of the doctrine of Socialism as
the most efficacious method for the
working classes to ultimately secure
the full profits of their soil. He said
that 1000 members of the Federation
are now on strike in various parts OF
the jurisdiction, and that the indica-
tions were this number will be in
creased in the near future.
President Meyer recorded himself as
Opposed to the contract system as fol-
lows:

matter of locals entering into time con
tracts with representatives of corpora
tions AL slough your constitution is
very specific in regard to this matter.
unions will insist upon binding them
selves down with time agreements. AT

that no permanent relief to the wage
worker can be brought about through
trades unionism: therefore. it behooves
us to be free at all times to take adj
vantage of any opportunity to tempo
rarily better our condition. Nothing
affords the majority of corporations
more satisfaction than to realize that
they have placed you in position
where you are tpowerless to act for a
period of years. If this practice is per-
mitted to continue, the time is not far
distant when it will result in the de-
struction Of your organization

ANNUAL. ADDRESS
TO LABOR UNION

Denver. May 29.-ln his annual ad-
dress before the convention of The
American Labor Union, President Dan
Mcdonald handled the strike question
with vigor and vim that won the
plaudits OF the delegates. Strikes
will multiply as our activity increases"
he warned. and to meet the question he
strongly urged a monster strike fund.
to be derived by special assessments.
| The president especially encouraged
the organization of general bodies to
affiliate with the American Labor I'm
| ion and urged the adoption of uni
| form stamp book to be issued to all
members on the payment of dues, and
he urged the bonding of all officers OF
local unions who handle money. To
further affiliation he recommended that
the dues he reduced to S12 per year, on
account of the financial question being
an important matter to isolated COM
munities.
On the question of individual mem
berslip. President Mcdonald suggested
that no laws should be made by the
convention that will in any way con-
| fict with the right of the local bodies
to enforce the rules of hours, wage
scale and other laws on its members.
| Nothing but praise did the speaker
/ nave IOf lne American LdDoT OllUu
Journal. and he took occasion to re-
mind the delegates that the journal
was established only after referen-
dun vote, which recorded a majority in
its favor.
In conclusion, Mr.. Mcdonald said:
| Sizing up the entire years work in
every direction from a standpoint of
organization, the increase of member
ship in our unions directly chartered
by the American Labor Union shows
rapid and substantial growth. This
J applies also to affiliated organizations,
namely the Western Federation of

THE PRESBYTERIAN ASSEMBLY
ADOPTS REVISION OF CREED

Los Angeles. May 29.-The Presby-
terian church of the United States. in
general assembly, yesterday finally dis
posed of the question of revision of
creed that has been before the last three
general assemblies and which agitated
Presbyterian circles for the past fif-
teen years. The assembly by unani-
nous vote adopted the revision of the
confession of faith as prepared by the
committee appointed by the general
assembly of 1901.
Besides clearing the calendar of this
important question the assembly dis
posed of the Tennessee overture" in
regard to separate presbyteries in
the same territory" which was COM
monty known as the ''colored question"
of the Presbyterian church. and the re-
port of the special committee on di-
vorce and remarriage. BY the adop-
tion of the eleven overtures important
additions. amplifications and amend
ments are made to the articles of con-
fession of faith OF these one of the
most vital is the erection into the
church doctrine of the belief that all
who die in infancy are saved. which
is embodied in the declaratory state
ments regarding chapter III. of the
confession of faith and chapter X, Sec
ton 3:
THAT concerning those who are
saved in Christ. the doctrine of God s
eternal decree is held in harmony with
the doctrine of His love to all man
kind His gift of His son to be the
Precipitation for the sins of the whole
world. and His readiness to bestow
His saving grace on all who seek it..
That concerning those who perish. the
doctrine of Gods eternal decree is
held in harmony with the doctrine that
God desires not the death OF any sin
ner. but his provided in Christ sal
vation sufficient for all adapted to all
and freely offered in the gospel to all;
that men are fully responsible for their
treatment of Gods gracious offer: that
His decree hinders no man from ac-
cepting that offer and that no man is
condemned except on the grounds of
his sin.
Also that it is not 10 be regarded as
teaching that ary who die in infancy
are lost. We believe that all dying in
infancy are included in the election of

grace and are regenerated and saved
by Christ through the spirit who works
where and how He pleases."
For section 6. chapter XIV of the
confession of faith the following is
substituted:
The Lord Jesus Christ is the only
head of the church. and the claim of
any man to be the vicar of Christ and
the head of the church is unscriptural
without warrant in fact and is a
usurpation dishonoring to the Lord
Jesus Christ
Three additional chapters are added
to the confession concerning the Love
of God tor all men. missions and
theory spirit
At the afternoon session the "colored
question" was disposed of promptly
and without furry. Dr. Putnam.
from the committee on bills and over
lures reported simple recommenda-
tion that overtures on separate pres
byteries for colored ministers" which
had come up from Tennessee and
other Southern cities, be referred
to committee of five, this COM
mittee to report to the next gem
eral assembly DR.. Roberts moved
an amendment to this resolution,
giving the colored element in the
church representation on this com
mittee and increasing the membership
TO seven. The amendment was accept
ed and the resolution adopted.
The report of the special committee
on divorce and remarriage was then
taken up, DR., Charles A. Dickey, chair
man. speaking in support of its recon-
mendations. The resolution follows:
Resolved, That this General Assem-
bly, favors every lawful endeavor to
correct the evils of lax legislation re-
gardng the subjects of divorce and re-
marriage, and to secure such uniform
ity of legislation thereon as may best
promote the purity of society.
."Resolved, That this General Assem-
bly, hereby enjoihs all ministers under
its care and authority to refuse to per-
form the marriage ceremony in the
cases of divorced persons, except as
such persons have been divorced upon
grounds and for causes recognized as
scriptural in the standards of the Pres
byterian church in the United States of
America.
The report was unanimously adopted.
