A LIFE STORY.
Seeks Deserted Children With
$1,000 in Pocket.

The fling at the clerks Office,
on Friday, of the inventory OF
the estate of the late Mary Carl
inghouse brings to mind a life
story, which in many ways, is
of unusual character and interest.
About 80 years ago William
Clearinghouse deserted a wife and
children in the East and came to
Oregon. In southern Benton he
lived with Mary Cole for IS years
and at the end of that time they
married. These facts are known
to all residents Of that section,
and are but the opening instance
ia the story.
After marriage, as frequently
happens, life did not always run
smoothly, and an agreement was
once made by the husband and
wife whereby the latter was to
allow Mr.. Clearinghouse, SIS pei
month providing he leave the
premises and never return. This
agreement, however, was not car
ried out, and the husband re-
malned. The agreement, though
was known to many of the
neighbors, and figures later in
this narrative.
Perhaps two months ago Mrs.
Clearinghouse died, and as soon as
the remaines were laid away,
Milton Barnett, M. M. Waltz
and Robert Kyle were requested
to go from the cemetery to the
house of the deceased, and attend
to the reading of the will. When
the instrument was read, it was
found to convey to William Carl.
inghouse only life lease on &C
acres of the poorest land on the
estate, the balance went to the
only child of the deceased, Mrs.
Fannie Starr, a daughter of Mrs.
Clearinghouse by a former mar
riage. An offer was made to the
husband of the $25 per month,
instead of the life lease on the

land, but this was not accepted.
Mrs. Starr agreed to give the old
gentleman $3.ooo in cash, which
she did, together with a buggy
and wagon, and armed with his
cash, Mr.. Clearinghouse, now IL
years OF age, has gone to Ohio to
hunt up and seek welcome from
the children he deserted there 80
years ago. If he is kindly re-
ceived he will remain in the East
otherwise he may return to Or
egon, the scene OF his peculiar
experiences.
The inventory filed at the
clerks Office shows property Of
the value of $23,435, which goes
to Mrs. Starr, the only heir.

REQUESTED BY PEACE ADVo.
GATES TO USE HIS INFLUENCE
TO END THE WAR.
Government Not Likely to Take Any
Steps Until Assurances Are Re-
ceived That Its Effort Would Not
Be Unwelcome.

Washington, Feb. 10.-President
! Roosevelt was urged Thursday to take
some action looking to the termination
of the Russo-Japanese war. The re.
| quest was made by the 1nter-Parlia-
| mentary union through the president OF
the organization, Representative Bar
tholdt, of Missouri. DR.. Bartholdt ex-
planned to the president that the con-
sensus Of opinion among the members
of the union and among European parlia-
mentarians with whom he is in CORE
spondence was that the president of the
United States was the one man, with the
possible exception of the emperor of
Germany, who indicated no disposition
to try to bring the war to an end, who
might be listened to on the subject with
favor by Russia.
Not Likely to Act.
The president gave DR.. Bartholdt no
definite assurances beyond promising
to consider the matter with Secretary
Hay. 1t is known to be quite unlikely
that this government will take any
action looking to mediation until some
assurances have been received from
both parties to the pending conflict
that such action would not be unweI.
come. The president told Dr. Bar
tholdt that the date of the proposed
second conference of The Hague would
depend entirely upon the termination
of hostilities between Russia and
Japan.
Russia Ready for Peace.
st. Petersburg, Feb. 1O-The grand
ducal party. it is stated on good authori-
ty, has decided definitely in favor OF
peace at the best terms obtainable This
decision is the result of a meeting at
which vote was taken.
The general talk for peace is accompa-
MED by discussion of the terms Russia
would be willing to accept First of all,
it is considered impossible to meet any
demand for cash indemnity. 1t is con-
coded, however, that Russia must retire
from the whole Liaotung peninsula and
consent to Japan's occupation of Port
Arthur. Manchuria, of course, would be
retuERd to China.

including meat, and occasionally fresh
vegetables.
Sunshine.
The nights being long and the days
short, as much sunshine as possible
should be let into the house during the

CiothinC:
The head should be kept cool at all
times. The feet should be kept warm
and dry, day and night.
Pe.ru-ns.
When unavoidably exposed to cold or

TAKE EMBRACE AT LETTER
WRITTEN BY LATTER TO
SENATOR CULLOM.
Consider He Is Interfering with Their
Prerogatives and Oppose by Vote
His Position with Reference to Ar
bitration Treaties.

Washington, Feb. 13-The senate in
executive session on Saturday ratified
the arbitration treaties between the
United States and eight European gov
ernments. 1t required two sessions to
reach an agreement. At the first session
consideration was given to a communi-
cation from the president to Senator
Cullom, chairman Of the foreign affairs
committee, in the form of protest
against any amendment being adopted.
At the second session the treaties were
amended and ratified, with only nine
votes against the amendment made by
the senate committee on foreign rela-
tiOns.
The Presidents Letter.
When the executive session began
Senator Cullom presented and had read
the letter from the president to himself,
in which the president had taken excep-
ton to the senate's amendment substi-
tuting the word treaty for the word
agreement" In the presidents opin-
ion it was not step forward, but step
backward. II the word treaty. he
says, is substituted the treaties would
amount to a specific announcement
against the whole principle of gen.
eral arbitration treaty. The president
also says that if, in the jude ment of the
president, an amendmen nullifies pro-
no less clearly his duty to refrain from
endeavoring to secure a ratification of
the amended treaty.
When the reading had been conclude!
Senator Morgan took the floor and max
ing the presidents letter the text of his
remarks, proceeded with a sharp eriti-
ciSm Of executive interference with the
senate in performing it's part in the max
ing of treaties. Senal ors Spooner, For
aker, Lodge and others took the position
holding it's prerogatives, and must ill
sist that the word treaty" be substitute
ed for the word "agreement" in all of ths
treaties. Senators Platt Comm and
Fairbanks upheld the position of the
president. A motion was then made to
adopt the committees amendment. Tho
vote was taken on the treaty between
the United States and France. as the
other treaties are on identical lines. \
roll call was demanded and the amend
ment was adopted by a vote Of so to 9.
Those who voted to sustain the presi-
dents position were Senator's Dolliver.
Hopkins, McCumber, Me-
son, Plat Comm. Stewart. Wetmorc
and Warren. When this amendment
was adopted it was agreed to so far as
the other treaties were concerned, ami
the treaties were ratified by a viva voce
vote.
