there is not the adherence of such
crimes that there should be. Let man
steal a horse and nothing will save
him from punishment and humiliation.
Let a man corrupt city council, de-
base a city and make mockery of
government and his friends will meet
hear about it and greet him exactly as
if they had only heard that he had re-
turned from Sunday school conven-
ton.
BOodling and grating are forms of
money making. This is a money max

of a tendency to applaud the money
maker regardless of his methods The
captain of industry who piles up his
millions by Rockerfellerian methods
is not likely to find much fault with
the man who goes into office poor and
comes out rich Such a change sug-
gests to the purely commercial mind
the probability of much natural abil-
ity in the man who was able to make
it. The public has got to set itself right
on these matters before it can expect
much improvement in OfficialdOm. 1t

the habit Of ostracizing the boomer

gested social ostracism as remedy

with his views in regard to the need

make a still stronger plea. TO our

boys who need a hospitable refuge
from temptation. The residents of
Walla Walla cannot afford to be blind
to the fact that the open arms of the

JONES WITH THE RAILROADS.

Dave Larimer The Politician"
says in the SpokesmanR Review:
congressman Jones and his friends
make no secret of their belief that in
the event the state is divided into con-
sreSsional districts Mr.. Jones VIII be
defeated for denomination two years
from now. Eastern Washington. in the
event of districting, would almost GER
tainly be put in a district by itself and
Nention know that the leaders of the
eastern Washington delegations in
that convention regarded Mr.. Jones as
an ally of the railroad crowd. Those
same men will probably head most of
the eastern Washington delegations
next time, and would control an east
ern Washington congressional caucus.
with probably fatal results to Mr.
Jones ambition to remain in public
life.
Mr.. Jones makes no secret of his op-
position to districting the state. and
the belief is prevalent that his present
attitude of subserviency to the Far
rell leaders is actuated either by a
hope or by a direct promise that when
the legislature meets they will take
care of him. and either prevent the
passage of a districting bill or see to
1t that Yakima county is not placed
in a district with the balance of east
oru Washington"

MADE SLAVES OF HIS CHILDREN
Neighbors Have Butternut, Wis.,, Far
mer Arrested.

ASHLAND, Wis, Oct. 19.-De-
formed by the manual labors they
have been forced to perform, George
Otto, aged IA, and Ernest Otto, aged
II, sat in the dock in the municipal
courtroom this morning and listened
to testimony against their father, who
was charged with inhuman treatment.
This was their first experience away
from their fathers farm. They had
never seen train until they were
brought to Ashland from Butternut,
near where their fathers farm is To-
Gated.
George Otto. the father is an I'M
couth farmer, and by the testimony
virtually made slaves of the children,
compelling them to do the work of men
when they should have been at school.
Their mother has been dead several
years. A daughter, the oldest child,
was recently sent to the home for feeb-
leminded at Chippewa Falls, her ply
sicians saying that her condition was
brought on largely from overwork.
The neighbOrs finally had Otto ar
rested and brought to Ashland. The
testimony was all against him, and
Judge McCloud ordered the children
taken care of by the county until suit
able homes can be secured for them.
and adiourned the case against Otto
until He>,t Wednesday to give him time
to produce any witnesses nc may
have. Tie boys have more the appear
ance of old men than children.
When some PROUD son of man returns
to earth,
Unknown to glory but upheld by birth
Sculptors art exhausts the pomp of
woe,
And storied urn records who rests be
low.
But the dog. in life the ffrmest friend
Tie first to welcome and foremost to
defend.
Whose honest heart is all his masters
own.
WHO lives, breathes, fights and dies
for him alone
Unhonored falls unnoticed all his
worth
Denied in Heaven the soul he held on
earth.

The Country Life.

Oh, the country life is the life for me Afar from the noise Of town, Where the life we live is wild and free And the fields are sere and brown, And, the air is crisp and the sky is And tbe s sOngbirds sing with mad de-

 Oh, the country life is the life for me Where the farmers hike each morn Before 1t is light enough to see
 And make for the fields of corn. Where the frost is thick on the amber And the 2 ground so hard it Is hard to
 walk. .te, Oh, the country life is the life for me Where folks get up at 4 o'clock, And get ready to work with seeming And no one has time to knock. Where the rooms are chill and the conn And the shivers go shooting through

 space.

4 FAMoUS cANr ENDED.

Missouri's famous steer case seems to have finally come to an end. The at torneys of MT. John Massengale have been notified that Elijah E. Rice, of Charlton county, will ask the Kansas City court of appeals to enter up an order affirming the decision of the Howard county circuit court in the case of John Massengale vs. Rice. The verdict went to Rice. Massengale's lawyers examined the records and de- cided that there were no substantial grounds for an appeal. The litigation was begun in September, 1899, at By numviIle, having been instituted by MT. Massengale to recover the possession of a steer valued at $50, which he claim- ed had been taken up by Elijah D. Rice. There were seven trials in the justice circuit and appellate courts. The costs, while heavy, will not be as heavy as some reports have stated. Outside of the money he has already paid out, it is expected that MT. Mas sengale can obtain complete discharge from all court liabilities for a thousand dollars. He takes the result philosoph- ically, and says that he will bow to the decision of the courts, as becomes a law-abiding citizen.
 What has happened to the steer is not stated. but it is probable that it was eaten up long ago. But it's career though short was celebrated.

PRoSPERITY.

Be an inhabitant of the United States and wear diamonds. The wearing of precious stones by men and women in the United States is more general to- day than at any time in the history of the country. This is indicated by the fact that the value of the importations Of gems Of all kinds last year was far greater than that of the preceding years, and twice as valuable as the im- portatlons Of four years ago. Twenty six million dollars worth of diamonds, rubies and other gems were imported into this country last year. In 1902 the importations were SPA, 10000, but in 1900 they were valued at less than $1s,5OOOOO. Prosperity has served to increase one hundred per cent. the value of the pur- chases of precious stones from abroad in the short period of four years. Unset diamonds constitute the bulk of the importations of precious stones, aggre- gating more than sls.OOO,OoO last year. Rough or uncut diamonds to the value of s1O. 5000. were imported, the balance of the imports being made up of small lots of other gems of less costly char acter.
 Is it any wonder the Republican ad- ministration got the votes? The Demo- cratic leaders didn't even dare to prom iss anything like that.

!. CAN THEY BE OiYLLlz ED 2

The real Westerners say there is no good Indian but dead one, and their rooted notion receives some copfirma- tion from James Mooney, attached to the Smithsonian bureau of ethnology, who sees a hopeless future for the In- dians, among whom he has spent the greater portion of his life. He believes that it is practically impossible to civ- ilize the Indians; that, having no am- bition for Improvements or progress, they will continue in their present state, dy- ing out in numbers till they become simply rowing bands. He asserts that no matter how large the amount they receive in the semi-annual payment 1t is all gone within a few days, and that they live in debt and expectation for the next six months. Though the goy- ernment has exempted them from taxes, though they have good farms, with government built houses on them, and though they have a regular money income for each member of the family, he says they prefer a tent to house and will rent out the latter to a white man and sleep outdoors themselves.
 Some say the negro is no good and never will be any good. If we have large collection of negroes and Indians who cant be civilized the outlook is not pleasing. But those who are en- gagged in civillzing them talk hopefully,

WHY THE GOLF PLAYER WOULD
 MARRY,

MAhfN1.
 Miss Charlotte bod, the champion woman golfer of England, was talking at the Philadelphia Country club about golf in Scotland.
 Golf in England is almost a. dis ease" she said. "The passion and the perseverance that the Scot brings to golf are quite incredible. With innu- merable players there is nothing noth- ing-that can compare in their affec- tions with the game,
 T heard not long ago of an elderly bachelor in Edinburgh who had played golf from his boyhood up. He was a lawyer and every minute he could steal from the courts was devoted to the links. This man didn't allow reIi- zion, society OF business to intersere with his daily golf. He had never courted a girl, because, he said, golf hadn't allowed him the time.

HE LIYELY wl1BoIs.

,
 The Witbois, who have just captured Captain von Burgsdorff. commander of a district of German Southwest Africa, are pretty lively people. They are a numerous clan of Hottentots. They derive their name from the Withoi family, which has long furnished them leaders. Hendrix, their present leader, led in 1sss-1ss4 an insurrection which the Germans suppressed with some diff f1culty. Recently he helped the Ger mans against the Hereros, and his ser vices were rewarded by Emperor Will liam with a decoration This seems not to have satisfied the old bandit, who now again takes the warpath to add to the difficulties of Won Trotha's dis heartening campaign. His followers are well armed and well mounted, and their association with the German forces during the last ten years as scouts and auxiIiaries has probably i'm proved their natural aptitude for fight ing. The hilly country they inhabit is well suited to their tactics. They are trying to induce the Bastards to join them. To the rising of the Hereros and ovambos q third is added and fourth is in prospect.
 If the Witbois, the Bastards, the Her eros and the ovambos all get to buzzing at the same time there will be trouble for somebody, and probably for them.

Dr. Morrison, the Well-knoWn corre- spondent of the London Times in Pekin, announces that pr. Gatrell, we'll known English physician, who during the military International occupation was on the headquarters staff as inter- preter, has just returned to the Chinese capital, after an extensive journey through Mongolia. Leaving Pekin on May 12, he travelled by unusual routes by way of Kalgan to Urga and then to Uliassutai.. Throughout the journey he was treated with unusual friendliness by the Mongols and Chinese, and by the Russian communities at Urga and Uliassutai. He confirms the previous reports, published by Dr. Morrison, re- garding the complete ignorance or in difference of the Mo1lgols to the Brit ish expedition to Tibet and the flight and the deposition of the Dalai Lama, and declares that the reports of the presence of numbers of Russian troops at Urga, so frequently made in the European papers, are as unfounded as the stories of Mongol excitement. The Russian consul at Urga has a guard of thirty Cossacks, but there were no oth- CT Russian troops in the whole terri tory visited by Dr. Gatrell. He return ed from Uliassutai through Kalgan, covering 1000 miles in nineteen days.

The school children at Berlin have been examined by health officers this year for the first time. and the results were astonishing. Ten per cent. were found to be insufficiently developed, either mentally or physically, to do the school work, and had to be sent home to grow for six months. Sixteen per cent. were found to lack strength to study, owing to the debilitating effect of scarlet fever and other diseases, and five per cent. were suffering from tu- bercular troubles.

There is quite a manufacturing boom in Hungary. Ninety-six new factories and plants, reports consul-General Chester from Budapest, were founded during the first quarter of 1904. This is due to state aid granted by the Hun gariau ministry of agriculture to hemp and flax works, the proposed modifica- tion of the old labor law, and the sud- den decision on the part of Hungarian banks and trust institutions to invest money in factories of promise. Of these new factories 15 are textile mills, 8 are iron works, 4 are paper mills, 10 are chemical concerns, these last adding an impetus to an important industry. In the list are four woodworking plants, 4 food-prepa plants, and 8 brick kilns. Besides these there are factories for preparing peat, electric lighting plants (2s), acetylene-gas factories, etc
