VERY ENTERTAINING LECTURE.
A Portion of Proceeds Go to Paying
for County Exhibit.

Mrs. Edith Tozier Weatherred lee
tured last night to a large audience
in the court house on the subject of
the Lewis and Clark and st. Louis ex-
positions. Photographs of all the
principal buildings and scenes of the
st. Louis fair were shown by the
stereopticon, and were entertaining
ly described by Mrs. Weatherred.
Views were also shown of the build
ings that will be in use at the fair in
Portland, and of many Oregon scenes
that are expected to interest visitors
during the summer.
During the lecture Mrs. Weather
red strongly criticised the Oregon
building at the st. Louis fair, declar-
ing it entirely inadequate for the pur-
pose.
Mrs. Weatherred's lectures are for
the benefit of the educational exhibit
that is being arranged for the Lewis
and Clark fair, a portion of the pro-
ceeds to be devoted to paying the
expense of the Umatilla county exhib-

At 2:30 this afternoon another lee
ture was given by Mrs. Weatherred
this. time for the particular benefit OF
the school children.
After leaving Pendleton Mrs

COVERT STRIKE
At REFERENDUM
MEANING OF VOTE ON
APPROPRIATION BILL.
This Is Senator Pierce's Interpretation
Of the Issue de Gang" Is Forcing
Upon the People-They Would
Ruin or Cripple the Normal
Schools for the Sake of Bringing
the Referendum Into Disrepute.

From letters received since the ad-
journment of the legislature. Senator
Pierce is of the opinion that the gen.
eral appropriation bill is going to be
held up for a vote under the referen-
dunn. To secure the vote a petition
with $500 signers is required to be
filed with the secretary of state within
80 days from the end of the session.
Only about one-fourth of that time is
now up and in view of the compara-
lively small number of signers re-
quired it will apparently be an easy
matter to make up the petition and
thus hold up the bill.
AS to the motives of the people
who are working up the petition,
Senator Pierce is Of the belief that it
is largely a political move to bring
the referendum into disrepute.
There is a certain class of poll
ticians," said he, "who do not like the
referendum and by invoking it to de-
lay the appropriation bill they hope
to bring the referendum into dis
credit. working with this element
@are those Of entirely different mo-
tives, who would like to see some of
the items cut out, especially for the
normal schools"
According to Senator Pierce the
dislike for the referendum was also
the real reason why such strong eff
fort was made during the session to
secure a constitutional convention to
revise the "antiquated constitution"
Should the appropriation bill be
held for a vote the latter cannot be
taken until the state election a year
from next June, and as no levy could
then be made, even should the bill be
sustained, the appropriations would
really be held up for two years, This
would not seriously affect the State
University or the Agricultural Col
lege, as both those institutions re-
ceive enough money from other
sources to manage on, but it would be
highly disastrous to the Normal
schools, and also to the experiment
station at Union. Fifteen thousand
dollars was voted the last named in
stitution, and it is expected that

two charming brides brought to a
close a whirl of social gaieties for the
past two weeks. given in honor of

pairs.

A REAL HERO.

Men get discouraged at failures in
this life and though strong and able
bodied, revile their lot, become soured,
and sometimes end their existence
with bullet, poison, or the water.
Others drown themselves in drink and
become a menace 10 and an ulcer in
society. 1t is refreshing to read of an
occasional man who has the courage
to withstand all things and live. The
man who can cry courage" where no
land is visible is hero and his life
stands out beautiful example 10 him
who must needs sink beneath his
burden
The following is true editorial
story, told in an eastern exchange, of
brave young young man to whom
the trials Of Job were but as the ills of
childhood.
The story itself is an epic poem
about a bert Il. Blake, of Denver.
At the age Of % Blake was a trusted
employ of a railroad company. His
temperament was artistic, and he gave
all his leisure time to drawing and
studying art.
One day he fell through a hatch
way, and literally broke his back. At
the hospital the surgeons said he
could not possibly live.
Three vertebrae were fractured
and had to be removed The spinal
cord-that delicate thread of life
was lacerated and the bruised so that
IL could never be healed, said the surge
ons. In no previous cases had any
man so injured recovered.
Blake survived.
There was something in the man
that refused 20 die. He never gave
up hope through all the slow dragging
months of torture. His lower limbs
became partially paralyzed and for
five years he endured the sitting at
mosphere Of the county infrmary.
All the time Blake was sure he would
get well. He studied art and planned
for the future. Crippled and half
dead, lac made cartoons and sketches
and got himself home.
Then death aimed another shaft at
him. Blood poisoning attacked his
poor benumbed lower limbs. Again
he met fate more than half way.
He decided TO have his limbs ampu-
tated. The surgeons said it was no
use. The man would die, anyway.

Why the useless suffering? Blake de-
manded the knife. Moreover, in order
to save his strength, he refused to
take an anaesthetic. The operators
said it was one of the most heroic ex-
hibitions of pluck ever shown on the
operating table.
No sooner had the brave-souled fell
low recovered from the operation than
erysipelas set in. That meant quaran-
tine and lonely suffering.
Still the man smiled and planned
for the future.
And that was not all AS If 10th to
give up his victim, the Destroyer aimed
another shaft. Scarcely had Blake
recovered from the erysipelas than he
was afflicted with the dreadful! tetan-
tus or lockjaw.
THAT will finish the poor fellow, "
said everybody.
Blake did not die. Again he lay for
months nursing back his little candle
flame of life.
He saw no land, as did the leader OF
the Lotus Eaters. But he would reach
the shore, be the storm never so wild,
the waves never so high, and the dark
ness never so deep
Today Alfred f. Blake has his own
coy home. He sent money to his
sister in London, and she came to care
for him. He teaches daily from his
wheeled chair. He makes money by
his work. And no man is held in
higher esteem.
Isn't this true story sublimer than
any that literature tells of the heroism
of Sir Gallahad or the Cid?
Does not this plain recitalof a daunt-
less soul which, single-handed and
with broken sword, fought Death
and won-stir the sluggish blood of
your easy life?
And shall it not make you ashamed
OF the revilings Of your lot, your COM
plainings, and the loss of hope?
