Mrs. Elizabeth Larkin. The class
orations were ably written and well
delivered. Roosevelt, the Man." by
Miss May Moore, was we'll deserved
eulogy and short delineation of the
noble character of her chosen subject.
"The Power of Literature" by Miss
Elva Morrison, was emphasized be-
cause of its very apparent influence
in molding the life and character,
either for good or evil, of those who
read it. "The Gift of the Nile" by
Miss Edith HOrseman, was picture
of the manners and customs of the
land in Egypt in the long ago, and
also as the hand of time has wrought
its changes with the passing years.
Earnest Woodmansee, in his 'Plea
for the Negro" presented the need of
their mental and moral education,
and training for the duties and re-
sponsibilities of life. "The Island
Empire" by Miss Lenna Grice," was
the contrast In the past and present
of the Japanese people with the mark
ed advancement of the last few years
in civilization and Christianity. The
address to the class by Rev. h. G.
Jameson, of Dayton, was an able and
eloquent appeal for an energetic and
active use of all the opportunities and
privileges that are SO lavishly offered
to the young in these days, which will
enable them with the strength Of de.

The next II ouse.

The Republican landslide in
the election IF house of repres-
entatives is almost as remarkable
as in the election of president.
Chairman Babcock had not fig
ured on more than a majority of
fifty. 1t will be double that.
The belated returns only indicate
that more Democratic repres ente-
tives, have been bio wn out of pub
lie life. There is not stste where
the party has gained a seat, un-
less it be in Colorado, where the
ex-RepresentativeShafroth is sup
posed to be elected, and in
Maryland.
The membership after March 8
next will be approximately 244
Republicans and 142 Democats.
That reckoning comes from con-
cediug Shaforth's election in Col
orado and the election of five Re
publicans in Missouri. 1t also
counts Nevada as sending a
Republican to congress. On
that basis the Republican MAORI
ty will be 102, far and away the
largest the Republicans have lad
there since 1894, when the coanty
reversed its overwhelming Demo
cratic verdict of 1892 and elected
a national house of 249 Republi-
cans and 10S Democrats and Pop
ulists. Then the Republicans had
clear majority of 141. The fig
ures for the next house will not
vary materially from the one Just
given; and the majority will be in
the neighborho ID of 100. The
Republicans will have almost two
thirds of the membership.

Worse Than McCue Case.
Young Man Charged With Muir
dering Both Parents, Sister and
Little Brother, and Then Fir
ing the House.

Auburn, CAL, Nov. 13. Adolf
Weber has been placed under ar
rest, charged with the murder of
his parents, sister and young
brother last Thursday night and
with having set the family resi-
dence on fire afterwards to con-
cca, the crime. Weber took his
arrest coolly. The arrest took
place Immediately after he left
the witness stand, and after he
had reluctantly answered the
questions asked him bv Coroner
Shepard, the district attorney and
several of the iurymen.
The latest theory in the Weber
murder case is that the murderer
sh Ut the father first; then, as the
sister appeared in the hall, he shot
her; and then tho mother, seeing
what had been done, screamed and
started from him, when he shot
her. She continued on across the
room, and raising her left hand,
took down the telephone receiver
to call for help, at which time she
received the second shot which
penetrated the body Just under
the left arm. The child being the
only one left, the murderer struck
him over the head and felled him
The operator at the central teIe-
phone office says that the line ut
Weber residence showed "busy"
at about half hour before the fire
was discovered.
Adolphus Weber, in Jail this
morning, had nothing to say be-
yond that he had good nights
rest. No effort has been made to
get the young man out on writ
by his attorneys.
Weber's description Is said to
tally with the description of one
Of the robbers who robbed the
bank here.

rents IN the far East. 1t seems
that Japan, IN an unofficial capaci-
ty, sounded Russia rs to whether
she were willing to enter into ne
gotiations, and found that she was
not, and so ended the matter for
the present. 1t seems, however
that Japau expects more favor

when the fall of Port Arthur has
been accomplished. That accom-
plishment is yet in the future, for
only rumors have come from the
be!eaguered garrison since last
Monday. One of these stated
that General Stoessel had asked
an armistice, and another was to
the effect that the japanese of
hcers feared q message when they
finally captured the city, the Jap
anese soldiers being SO exasperat-
ed by the prolonged siege.
In Manchuria the armies contin-
ue to face each other at such close
quarters that the Russian and
japanese soldiers are said to be
able to swap cigarettes and other
things and to jeer each other.
But the fighting seems to be at
minimum, both sides apparently
waiting for something to turn up.

A Russian correspondent of the
Associated Press, telegraphing
from Mukden Saturday declares
that the report circulated some
time ago that General Kuroki was
killed during the battle of Liao
Yang has been confirmed. He
asserts that his death occurred en-
October 4th, and that his body
was sent to Japan. 1t seems all
most Impossible that the death of
80 prominent an officer should be
concealed for over q month, and,
therefore, there may be some
doubt as the accuracy of the in
formation. However, when it is
recalled that the Japs kept in
doubt for months the fact that
the battleship Yashaima had been
sunk, despite reports of the event
which were circulated shortly af-
terward, they could doubtless do
the same thing regarding the death
of Kuroki. If it ls trne that he
is dead, Japan has lost one of her
best men. 1t was the army under
his command which won the vic
tory at Liao Yang, and he Was
rated as one or the best officers
Japan had in the field.
