St. Louis, Jan. 11.-Mrs. Jennie Boening, aged 20 years, bride or three weeks. who lives with her hus- band Richard Booming, at POS South Twenty first street, was horribly burned Tuesday morning. The hus- band is also suffering from the effects of flames. Mrs. Booming was also hurt by falling after she jumped. with fam- ing hair and clothing, from the win dew.
 The fire seems to have been caused by letting too much gasoline into the cup of the gasoline stove, which over flowed the fluid spreading over the floor. Booming arose at o'clock to light the gasoline stove, in order to heat some water After, as he thought of letting it feed until the cup was filled, he applied match.
 Flames leaped to the ceiling and spread over the floor. Boening caught uI the blazing gasoline can, which was sitting near the stove, and threw it through the window, ayerting an explosion.
 ME- DOcHlhS, dWdhcuCu pS 'hC bright light and the cries of her hus- band, sprang from bed and she and her husband tried to smother the flames with the bed clothing. but their efforts were futile. In moment the entire room was in flames. The posi- ton of Boening and his wife became peTilous. They had received severe burns and the flames were menacing them on every side
 They tried to get out through the door into the hall, but were not able to unlock the door quickly enough. Mrs Boening's loosely flowing hair had been caught by the flames by that time- There was no other way of es- cape except by the window. Booming threw up the sash through which the gasoline can had been hurled and belped his wife to jump out.
 Her leap famed the flames, which had caught her hair. Sine fell and her enee of mind she reached up and smothered her burning hair with her hands.
 Booming aIfghted on his feet and carried his wife into an adjoining house, where ii was found that she had been badly burned about the hands and arms. shoulders, neck and face An ambulance was called and she was sent to the city hospital
 The fire department confined the fire to the room in which it started.

AFTER SERVING TEN YEARS.
Whom Many People BeIieve Roeent.

Indianapolis, Ind. Jan. 11.-On the tenth anniversary of the murder of his wife, Rev. William E. Hinshaw, sem fenced to prison for life as the guilty man, has been internationally paroed by Gov. Durbin- It was his last of ficial act. The parole is virtually a pardon, as he can never be returned to poison except on the order of the gov ernor, and it is expected that the only later action that will ever be taken will be to change the parole to abso- lute pardon.
 Hardly a day has passed within the last ten years that his mother has not said that she would be willing to die in peace and happiness If her son was clear of the stigma that has plotted his name When the news of her sons re- lease was broken to her, her only re- ply was ~I thank God; I thank God" To Hinshaw the parole brings both joy and Sadness-joy because the chief executive has by an act of elemency. publicly declared confidence in his ab- sotute innocence, sadness because the act recalls the tragedy that happened ten years ago, when his wife was mur- dered and himself seriously injured
 In issuing the unconditional parole Gov. Durbin took the ground that the state had failed utterly "a prove a mo- tive for the crime. The case to-day is as full of mystery at it was ten years ago. the governor said. The mystery of the affair was regarded as sufficient reason for the release. The governor holds that Hinshaw, in returning to the outside world. would make himself objectionable to no one. his record as model prisoner being sufficient evil dence that he would make an honest. upright, iaw-abiding citizen.

Reginning next Monday morning at
Grants on the Columbia river and eN-
tending into the interior of oregon.
and covering wagon journey of APP
proximately 500 miles. will be made
the first house to house canvass ever
made in the interior of Oregon in the
interest of an Oregon school.
Prof. w. II. Bleakney OF Pendleton
acade T.. accompanied by ]. X. Nc
Gilavray of Goldendale, Wash, will
make this trip, in canvassing for stu
dents for the academy. They will fol-
low the main travelled roads into the
interior. but will zigzag from settle
ment to settlement, and not n house
where a family resides will be passed
by.
This school is one OF the leading
private schools in the Inland Empire
and the principal, at the suggestion of
the board of trustees. has undertaken
to solicit every family living in the
counties east of the Cascade noun
tains, believing that people in this sec
ton would much rather send their
children here than to send them a
greater distance to Portland.
1t will be the chief object Of the
academy to furnish first-class dormi-
tory accommodations for student:
coming from a distance. and thu:
make the school inviting to student:
| from distance as well as to those re-
siding in this county and city. The
course of study pursued in the acad
emy is the regular academic course
| q
scientific courses, elocution and peda
gogy. The students graduated from
the academy are among the ablest L
be found in the state and the efficien
cy and facilities Of the school will b'
added to as it is seen that 1t is advis
able and practical.
They expect to cover every count!
from the Cascade to Grant county
and will return to Pendleton by wa!
of Susanville about August 25.

THE GAMBLER MUST GO.
Oregon Daily Journal Says the Coun-
try Is AGAINST Him.

Speaking of the subject of gambling
the oregon Daily Journal Says:
All over the Pacific Northwest the
gamblers are being weeded out. City
after city and town after town have
declared war upon them and driven
them out, or are making their lives
stale, flat and Improbable. Seattle
choked off public gambling long ago,
and now Tacoma, which one would
think would have done so first, has
followed suit. In some oregon towns
the gamblers have successfully re-
turned to their business for a little
while, but have been forced to quit
again, except perhaps for an OCCASION
al surreptitious game, and 1t will not
be long till the knights of the green
cloth will look upon oregon with as
much disfavor as hoboes do upon g
town where they are made to WORK
all day for food and lodging.
Portland set the pace about yea
ago, and other cities have general!
and with a large degree of success
followed its good example. lot o
professional gamblers cannot possibl!
be anything but curse to any city
and people are finding out this truth

DAKOTA IN DRYDOCK.
Big Oriental Liner Must Go in for Re
pairs.

Seattle, Aug. 4.-The steamship Da-
kota will enter the drydock at the
Puget sound navy yard tomorrow
afternoon at high tide If present plans
for docking her are not interfered
with. The cargo has all been trans
ferred to the Minnesota and the big
Oriental liner is being taken to the
navy yard this afternoon.
Assistance will be required to take
her across the bay and tugs are em-
ployed for this purpose. While one
engine and propeller are still in per-
feet working order, it would not be
entirely safe to undertake to take
her through the narrow and tortuous
channel to the navy yard without
other assistance than the half of her
machinery.
The discovery last Friday that the
injury is to her shaft and not to the
bearings simplifies the task of repair
ing her since all that is necessary In
order to put her in working order
again is to replace the broken shaft
with a whole one. An extra shaft is
on hand so this will not necessitat5
any delay while one is ordered from
