whereupon Jesse Walker was elected. J. A. Slower; Moderator. V This Thomas H. Slower, who re- ceived the letter of conmenda- tion. had decided to enlist in the First U. $. Cavalry and we quote the following from another time worn record of rough riding on the plains: Our teamster who had been detailed from the ranks to drive Go. Ks team was Ill some respects an extraordinary man, and deserves more than a passing mention. He was a Missourlan, about 25 years old; a very devout Christian. and had nerve enough, regardless of scoffers, to carry his religion into every day life. EX- cept for his circunScribed env1r- onnents, he was very much ot the Stonewall Jackson style of man. No matter where he was, or by what kind of company he was surrounded, he never failed to devoutly kneel by his bed and say his prayers before retiring. Old soldiers will understand how many rebuffs and discourage ments person of religious princi- ples will meet with among sol- diers: and 1 used to think when l saw our teamster, Tom Slower, kneel by his bed night after night sometimes when the soldiers would be throwing boots and other missiles at hin-that he was one of the bravest men l ever saw. After getting acquainted with him the men did not often molest him while at his devotions, for he had a way of getting up off his knees after finishing his prayer and mopping the ground up with some fellow who had thrown someting at him, or in- terrupted him with irreverent re- marks. ito learn them a little manners. as he said. Besides being a christian soldier, and liv- ing up to the teachings of the Master under adverse circum- stances, he also upset an old frontier theory by driving and handling d six-mule team under all sorts of conditions for the whole of his five years, and was never once heard to use q profane word. Tom Slower was discharg- ged in the spring of '6o at the ex- piration of his five years enlist ment, and returned to his home in Missouri. l heard during the war that he got to be q Colonel in the rebel army. but have never heard of him since. l always en- tertained high degree of respect for Slower. for 1 do honor to the true Christian who carries his religion with him at all times. . The writer of the above extract was d member of the First |. $. Cavalry and in his "reminiscences of the old days before the war he speaks more than this once of Thomas H. Slower who was a member of the Baptist church, near Elm Springs, more than fifty years ago.
 Uncle Gaines Weir died last Wednesday evening and was bur jed at Elm Springs on Thursday evening. Uncle Gaines was one of the old fellows who pinned their faith and hope to the Clear Creek valley away back when the county was young and large family grew up to sturdy man. hood and womanhood and scatter. ed to other regions to seek elusive fortune, but Uncle Gaines stayed near the old homestead until his summons to journey beyond the realms of earth He was a na. tive of Tennessee and was z years, ? months and ? days old when he died.

Yesterday was a busy Gay with host
Of people who had direct interest in
the general opening of the public schools
Of the city Of Astoria, all the way from
Superintendent Clark, TO the veriest tot
who came within his jurisdiction as a
scholar. The bookstores swarmed with
youngsters buying books 10 start fresh
studies, or to follow old ones; parents
and friends and teachers, principals, and
school officers were agog with the duties
OF the day, and it Is safe TO assume
that nothing much was forgotten.
The schools were thrown open on
time and the food Of children and young
people was at IFS height at 10 a. m. Over
a thousand pupils were enumerated be-
fore noon, but the indications are the
hopes OF the officers Of the district for
between 1900 and 400 registrations, will
not be fulfilled. However, that is mat

the other, and is beyond Intervention.
The latest figures to be obtained from

to be obtained from the photos, give
them an Astoria date line and send them
to fifteen or twenty principal journals
of the country, thus covering territor.
ity from Boston TO the Pacific coast.
As this was to be done without any
expense to the Chamber of Commerce,
the chairman Of the cimmittee on statis-
tics and compilation was instructed to
procure and forward the photographs
desired.

Complete Anarchy Reported to
st. Petersburg Authorities
Who Are In Panic Over
Conditions.

Odessa, June 29,--Hundreds Of riot
ers were shot and many were killed
by troops last night.
Martial law has been proclaimed.
Fires were still burning at midnight
but there was lull in the disorders at
that time.
Practically the entire harbor was
gutted by fires started by the mob
last night.
All warehouses with quantities OF
merchandise as well as four or five
Russian steamers, were burned.
Probably three hundred rioters
were killed. Several Cossacks were
also slain.
Troops are rapidly restoring or
der.
The losses are estimated at many
millions of roubles. The remnants OF
the warehouses set on fire last night
are still burning today and the city Is
enveloped in a thick cloud of smoke.
Several explosions occurred and fierce
fighting took place between the troops
and rioters.
The dead is now reckoned in the
hundreds.
-. Complete Anarchy.
st. Petersburg, June 20, 4:56 p. m.
Shortly after noon dispatch was
received here reporting that complete
anarchy reigned at Odessa. The
streets are filled with frenzied work
men fighting the troops.
Under cover of smoke from the
burning buildings, the work of pillag.
ing has begun. 1t is added that mutt
neers from the battleship Kniaz Po-
temkine landed with machine guns
and fought behind barricades against
the troops,
1t is also rumored that some sol.
diers joined the mutinous sailors.
Government In Panic.
st. Petersburg, June2 29.-The gov
ernment is in state Of panic over
the events at Odessa, and the gray
est fears are entertained that mutiny
among the blue Jackets Is spreading
to the army. Should some Of the
troops at Odessa be won over to the
cause of their comrades Of the navy
other troops sent against them NIGH
throw down their arms or join the
mutineers, and with the support o.
about 100000 workmen, Odessa woult
become a center from which civil wal

hoping to find an abundant flow of
water.
Difficulties multiplied. drills were
broken or stuck in the stratum, ma
chinery gave out, cave-ins occurred
and it seemed as though the effort
would be futile.
At last, however, the patience and
the perseverance of the promoters
were rewarded AT depth of five
hundred feet strong flow OF water
was struck, and what was still more
gratifying, 1t rose in the six inch cas-

the objector may say, but when it is
remembered that the surface of the
well is on hill hundred feet above
the adjacent valley it can be con-

That the flow of water underlays

a corollary that If the well had been
