PHilOMATH COLLEGE
Plans for Future Work-=OutIook
Very Encouraging.

Philomath College is planning
for a larger and more efficient
lire than ever before. The in
istructor in the commercial de-
partment will take special train
ing In a Portland business college.
Miss Abrams will Go post-gradu-
ate work in the Salem College of
Oratory. Miss Mcdonald IS at
tending the summer session OF
the California State University,
Berkeley. Mrs. White will take
special work under one of the
best music teachers on the Coast.
The graduating class was the
largest in the history of the insti-
tuition. twenty-five diplomas
and certificates were granted COW
ering the following courses
Stenography and Typewriting.
Commercial, Normal, Music,
Classical and Masters Degree.
Most liberal donations and en-
dowments have been given this
year as proof of faith III the
future of this institution. The
outlook is surely bright.
Rev. F. w. Jones was returned
as college pastor. The offer Of
the Radical United Brethren at
the recent session OF conference
at Salem, to purchase the col
lege was not seriously considered,
however, a committee was ,ap-
pointed to investigate the matter
and report later. Plans are on
foot to enlarge the student capac-
Iity of the school, and work will
doubtless begin this year. Philo-
math College is here and here to
stay.

A Needed Improvement.
County School Superintendent

County School Superintendent,
Denman, is contemplating a
change in the system Of keeping
the records of his department.
The custom has been to keep
bonds, census blanks, teachers
reports, clerks reports, etc., in
separate bundles held together
with a rubber band or string.
When a report was required for
reference, the entire bundle had
to be separated and a great deal
of time and trouble wasted in Sc
curing the proper one.
Supt. Denman is preparing a
file now that will do away with
all this. 1t consists of a series of
envelopes, labeled according to
each school district, each envel-
ope to contain a separate and dis
tinct set of records. The name
of the district with the report con-
tanned therein will be upon each
envelope, so that at glance any
required report from any district
in the county can be secured with
out useless waste of time and
trouble. This Improvement will
greatly aid in reducing the great
amount of office labor required
and will give time and opportun-
ity in developing and improving
the county schools along other
lines. This Improvement will
cost but trihe and will be in
comparable when the results Sc
cured are taken into considera-
ton.

INDIANA REPUBLICAN
STATE CONVENTION

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April 25.-The
Republican state convention will begin its
sessions tomorrow and the Hobbies of the
principal hotels are already the scenes of
political activity, particularly that of the
Denison house, where the candidates have
their headquarters. Besides selecting dele
gates-at-large and alternates to the Chica-
90 convention, the convention will nomi-
nate candidates for governor and lieuten-
ant governor and other state officers down
to supreme court judges.
The contest for nominations on the state
ticket is one of the most interesting. and
at the same time one of the most com
plcated that Indiana has seen in years.
Even the best-posted politicians that
| thronged the Hobbies of the Denison and
English's hotel today were unwilling to
make prediction on the personnel of the
state ticket except that part of it that
is not contested.
There are four candidates in the race
for the gubernatorial nomination. Named
in the order of their supposed strength
they are j. Frank Hanly, w. L. Taylor.
Judge William l.. Penfeld and Warren G..
Sayre.
The convention will fall into line with

make their headquarters there during their
stay in the city. There are two Wash
ington boys aboard the Tacoma dship-
man Darrell p. Wickersham of Tacoma
and Paymaster Ray Spear of Spokane.
The cruiser Tacoma is of $500 tons dis
placement, her length at the waterline
is 1872 feet beam "A feet ] inch, and draft
Is feet. She was built at the Union Irion
Works, San Francisco, and cost 81 $40, 300.
The silver service which is to be pre-
scented to the Tacoma arrived Saturday
evening and has been unpacked and placed
on exhibition in the window of Mahncke' s
jewelry store. The service is a radical
departure from the designs usually used
on like occasions The design is taken
from an art scheme originating from the
use of heavy plates of iron and steel on
city gates in the fourteenth century, and
is most appropriate. Its rare beauty can
not be described and Tacoma people should
avail themselves of this opportunity 10 see
this rare work of art before it leaves the
city.

the Republican, of other states and adopt
resolutions vSTmly endorsing President
Roosevelt and his administration and rec
ommending his denomination. 1t is not at
all likely that any mention will be made
in the platform in regard to Senator Fair
banks as a vice-presidential candidate. In
diana Republicans have always regarded
their senior senator as Of presidential size,
and therefore could hardly offer his name
for second place on the ticket. The fosr
delegates-at-large to Chicago will be SEN

Beverage and Chairman Goodrich of the
state committee.

it helped, or hurt politically. 1t would
give Mayor Wright's administration fair
deal. 1t would always treat every official
of the city and every citizen with the
spirit of fairness. 1t would not become
an organ of any political party or any cor
poration.
The politicians we're hardly satisfied with
this answer. They wanted an organ.
just now they are engaged in an effort
to see whether they can secure pledges for
enough money to try an experiment of
their own. They cannot secure a morning
Associated Press franchise, as such fran
chises are controlled by Mr.. Perkins. Their
only recourse will be to haul telegraphic
news by specials. or make other expensive
arrangements. which will involve an ulti-
mate expenditure of $4,000 to $4,000 dur.
ing the first year.
Whether any moneyed Democrats will
stand for the great risks involved is the
question now troubling the politicians in
terested.

FOUND A CORPSE
UNDER THE HOUSE

SEATTLE, April 25.-Under a Japanese
lodging house at 4llls Yesler way the body
of an unknown man was found yesterday
afternoon The body was in such shape
that i could not be identified. The corpse
was found face downward and the body
distorted, as if the man had died in awful
pain.
He was dressed poorly, and part Of the
clothing had rotted away. The appearance
of the body showed that in life the man
must have been morphine fiend.
The police believe that the man may
be Billy Madden. a well known morphine
fiend but the body is in such condition
that Identification is impossible. There
were no marks of violence.

SHOCKING AFFAIR

Manuel King, miller in the employ Of
the Albers Bros Milling company, while
engaged this morning in placing new fuse
in the safety apparatus connected with
the motor used in that establishment, ac-
cidentally touched the fuse and the ground
wire simultaneously, receiving shock Of
800 volts of electricity. He was knocked
unconscious and remained in that condition
for several minutes.
For the first few minutes he was so stiff
and rigid that his fellow employees thought
he was dead. The ambulance was sum
moned, but by the time it reached the
mill he had recovered sufficiently to go to
his home, where he viii rest for day,
and will probably be able to resume work
tomorrow.

TESTIFIES IN The SMOOT CASE

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 25.-The
cross-eXamination of Judge Powers in the
Smoot case was resumed this morning. He
was questioned as to Mormon interest in
educational affairs. The witness said that
the Mormon schools ranked well among
the highest establishments of the kind in
the country. He gave a list of many
persons prominent in science, the drama
and music who were graduates of the Utah
schools.
Reference being made as to the popu-
larlty of Brigham Roberts among the Gen
tiles, the witness said he was regarded as
"the Moses who was going to lead us out
of our troubles"
Judge Powers knew of no instance since
1890 where children had been requested to
remain after school hours to take part in
religious exercises.
Asked if he knew of any special reason

POLITICIANS WANT AN ORGAN

There is some talk in Democratic politi-
cal circles of starting a new morning
paper to be an organ of the Democratic
party.
The politicians who are urging the pro-
iect state that they cannot depend upon
either the Ledger or the News to continue
to work for the party, although both pa
pers espoused the Democratic cause in the
recent city election. They claim that
when it comes to state or national politics
the two Perkins papers will certainly be
shifted over into the Republican party
again.
The Democratic politicians sent man to
see The Tacoma Times. to ascertain if the
paper could be bought and changed into
a Democratic daily. The answer given was
that The Times could not take a partisan
stand, either for the Democrats or the
Republicans. 1t was first. last and always

commander expressed his heartfelt thanks
for the reception Tacoma had planned
in honor of his ship.
After a brief visit the committee was
taken ashore in the Tacoma's launch.

early Sunday morning, and after taking

He was pursued by the six men who had

soon wounded by two shots fired by his
pursuers. He crawled under building and
fired two more shots into his head, with
fatal results. When the body was exam

Such was found to be the case on enter

The body lay across the bed, cold in

another Of strychnine.

Moses Thatcher, former apostle and
Democratic candidates for senator in 1896,
who was declared out of harmony with the
church, which declaration is said to have
been responsible for his defeat, was called.
He said that the ,rst time he learned that
his brother apostles took offense at his
conduct was subsequent to speech which
he made in May. 1892, criticising the Re
publicans. Thatcher proceeded with a
lengthy explanation of the incidents that
led up to his trial in 1897 for being out of
harmony with the church.
He had made little progress in detailing
the causes through which he had been
deposed when the committee adjourned
until tomorrow.
