A Butcher on Southdown Mutton.

Il visited the Southdown mutton
country when I was in England" said
a butcher. Il studied the sheep and
the land well.
LAS I walked over the downs, I was
amazed to see hundreds of fat snails
in the moist, fine grass.
1T must annoy the pasturing sneed,
thought, to have all these snails
about
And this thought had hardly left
my mind when 1 saw plump eve take
up a snail and swallow it like an

by Jove, she enjoyed it. l said.
Il followed her, and I saw her eat
six snails-a kind of hors d'oeuvre-
before she settled down to her regular
meal of grass.
Il talked about this afterward with
the shepherds, and they told me that
all the Southdown sheep were great
snail eaters. They said it was the
flesh of snails that gave Southdown
mutton it's peculiar flavor

WRONG CORPSE BURIED AT HULL
Veterans Hold Funeral for Woman In :

SIOUX CITY, Iowa, Feb. 17.-For
two hours yesterday a hundred veter-

Gems, solemnized the funeral of j. w.
Bogess an old soldier, only to find
after the interment that they mad
buried the corpse of a woman, taken
from the train bound for South Dako-

Mr.. Bogess was the father of Mrs.
Charles Ballard of Sheldon, and died
there on Wednesday. Arrangements
were made for the funeral at Hull,
and it had been expected to send the
body to Hull by train. The train was
eight hours late and it was finally de-
cided to make the trip by sleigh. The
driver went to the station to get the
casket, but took the wrong one.
After the last clod had been thrown
in the grave a telephone message an

FOUNDERS DAY At COLLEGE
SYNOPSIS OF THE ADDRESS DE-
uvERED BY PRESIDENT PEN
ROSE OF WHITMAN.
annronriate Exercises Held in Com
n,.norat;on of Father Eells, the
Pioneer Missionary.

"E'ounder's Day was celebrated at
Whitman college yesterday by appro-
nriate exercises. President S. B. L.
Penrose gave a short suggestive ad-
dress on the lessons taught by the day,
saying in part:
Founders day does not comment
crate the work of any one man but OF
many men who have been concerned In
laying the foundations of this college.
Most of you are familiar with the
name of Father Eells, the st. Paul or
the Pacific Northwest, who devoted 90
wears to missionary work out in the
wilds of Washington, and while he
may be called the founder par excel
lence it is well to remember the names
of the other founders
DR.. Penrose paid a high tribute TO
A. J. Anderson, the first president and
founder of the real work of the col
lege. calling attention to his work in
starting the State University and
Whitman both which made him the
real pioneer of higher education in
Washington Continuing the speaker
said:
To-day should not be a day of glori-
fication however, to pride ourselves
on now great or how strong we have
grown, but one in which We should
think of the power of individuality and
the work of individual lives. The per-
son is the great thing after all. Liter
AZURE is but the expression of per-
can education is the elimination of
personality in the machinery of the
great good of oxford is the stress it
lays on personality.
"A founder is a person, living, con-
crete contagious person. To be not
mere thing but a person Or a founder
is the best thing possible in life.
Leave something behind you when
you go worthy of your personality.
Leave something which will nelp 9TH
ers that is the thought l would leave
with you in the short time I have to
talk to you this morning.

READY TO TAR AND FEATHER.
Hypnotist Saved by Police From En-
ragged Populace.

nicola, Iowa, Feb. 17.-"Professor"
George Curran is in Jail in default OF
$500 bail, charged with mayhem.
He appears to be an amateur hyp-
notist with plenty of magnetism but
poor control In an entertainment in
this city he placed one subject in
trance and then with big needles and
stout cords sewed his wrists together
through the flesny parts.
The performance was failure: The
subject emerged from the Influence
and there was a painful spectacle.
Another subject through whose legs
long needles were thrust bled freely.
Women tainted Or ruhsed from the
house, and a crowd of men would
have tarred and feathered the pro
lessor had not the authorities in
terfered and carried him to Jail.

instead Of striving for personal gain
sacrificed that they might leave some
thing behind for other people to ben
eft by. But the trustees and these
early founders are not the only found
ers of Whitman. The founders of an
institution are the students and fac
ulty. Let each strive to leave
record of himself that will last for
good, thus shall all be, founders and
join that goodly company of founders
of Whitman"
The most beautiful part Of the mus
ical program was a string quartet by
Professor Fischer, Misses Young and
Paul and Professor Pencil. The
chapel choir sang the anthem Where
withal shall a young man cleanse his
way"

FAILURES IN JANUARY.
Commercial Insolvencies in United
States In Opening Month.

Commercial insolvencies in the
United States during the opening
month of the new year were encour-
agingly few in number and small in
amount of defaulted indebtedness, ac-
cording to dispatches from branch Of
fees of r. G. Dun & Co. In all man.
pensions occurred, with liabilities of
sA67S,692 against 271 failures last
year when the amount involved was
$6,6S7,636: trading defaults numbered
939 and their liabilities of $5,275,64O
compared with 1919 year ago involv-
ing $S,224,937; other commercial fail
ures were q for $462,s73, against Sc
last year for 1851, 900. an aggregate
of 1922 failures and $10,417,205 liabili-
ties, as compared with 1406 in the
corresponding month Of 1904, when
defaulted indebtedness rose to SIS,
483,573. While it is extremely graf
flying to find that 1905 has started
with a decrease of $4,000, 900 in amount
of liabilities as compared with the
previous year, it is still more cheer
ing to carry the comparison further
back. Only one other January in the
past decade made a decidedly better
showing, 1889, while 1900 was slightly
better. but every other year back to
1898 recorded a much heavier NOR
tality.
January is the most significant
month in respect to the value of fail
ure returns, and such a phenomenal
ly good showing augurs we'll for 1905.
In the first month the annual settle
ments and many loans mature, while
inventories and stock taking disclose
weak spots. When the insolvency re-
turns are very heavy in January, it
usually indicates an unsound condition,
and this is often followed by other
months of readjustment whereas, a
low death rate in January generally
promises continued absence OF heavy
failures, as in 1899 That year recorded
the smallest loss for January Of any
recent year land the total liabilities
for the entire twelve months were far
below any year since 1881, when the
nation was smaller and the mortality
naturally lower.

LETTER CARRIERS TO MEET
DEPUTY POSTMASTER PROUD.
FOOT TO REPRESENT WALLA
WALLA AT TACOMA.
Fifth Time February 22-Bis
Crowd Expected.

Deputy Postmaster ROlla Proudfoot,
treasurer of the Washington State Ma
tional association of Letter Carriers,
will represent the Walla Walla car
riers at the fifth annual convention Of
the association to be held at Tacoma
February %. Mr.. Proudfoot is now on
the Sound on a vacation, but will defer
his trip home until after the conven-
ton of the Letter Carriers association.
The convention, it is announced, will
be one of the most elaborate ever held
by the association. Governor Mead,
Mayor Wright, state and city officials,
and every postmaster in the state with
a free delivery Office, are to be invited
to gather about the festive board as
guests of the men who brave the ele-
ments to see that missives entrusted
to Uncle Sam reach their destination
promptly.
D. A. Roberts, of Tacoma, delegate
at-Iarge, will preside at the banquet.
The new officers to be elected in the
afternoon will be installed and these
with the public men present, are to
be called upon to respond to toasts.
The state association comprises a
membership of more than ESQ, and it
is safe to say that nearly all will be in
attendance. Tacoma is highly thought
of by the carriers as convention city
as evidenced by the fact that this is
the second reunion there in three
years.
Much interest attaches at this meet
ing as a delegate-atlarge is to be
chosen to attend the national conven-
ton of the associations to be held
about September 1 of this year, at
Portland. All the delegates to this
national meeting have agreed to stop
in Tacoma on their return home so
that the So letter carriers there are
making extensive preparations to en-
terrain their thousands of letter car
rier brethren.
E. A. Webster, of Seattle, is presi-
dent of the state association, and G. E.
Moore, of Tacoma, is the secretary.

STAYS MORE BEARS DEAL IN STOCIES
President Has More Fun Than
Anticipated

GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colo, April
25.-President Roosevelt's hunting trip
has been crowned with success far be-
yond his expectations. Three bears
were killed by the party today and one
yesterday, one by the president and
one by DR.. Lambert. P. b. Stewart Of
Colorado Springs arrived here tonight,
accompanied by Courier Chapman.
They brought the story of the hunt.
The news of the killing of the three
bears was telephoned TO them and they
understood that President Roosevelt
brought down TWO of them. ~,
The party is almost snowbound in
its present location, and no attempt
viii be made TO cross the divide. Fif-
teen feet of snow is on the ground on
the other side, and any effort 10 reach
Redstone would be futile. The hunt
ers are satisfied, however, for they
have reached the center of what the
guides say is the. best bear country in
Colorado. Bobcats are so plentiful
that many of them escape without a
shot being fired in their direction. Sey-
eral fine skins have been taken.
The bear killed by the president was
OF the brown variety, furnishing
much finer pelt than the first animal
killed. One of the bears killed today
is said TO be grizzly. Mr.. Stewart
reported that every man in the party
is in the best of health.

MOST ACCIDENTS
IN PACKING HOUSES
Labor Commissioners Report
for First Quarter of 1905 d.
Shows interesting Facts

The report of Labor Commissioner
Williams for the first three months of
1905 regarding accidents in the differ
ent industries. disclosed two significant
facts. 1t is shown that a larger per
cent of accidents occur in the packing
house business than any other. This
may be due to the fact that these ac-
cidents are more fully reported than in
the other industries.
The second largest number of acci-
dents is shown in the list of sash, door
and blind factories. This may also be
due to the fact that they are fully re-
ported, but the report of the labor COM
missioner shows the proportion to be
large
In January the packing houses had 10
accidents out of a list of Sc reported,
while the sash and door industry had 3 /;
the list was small that month on the
latter. The second largest number was
In the railroad shops, which was 5.
In February the packing houses re-
ported II accidents. out of 72, the rail-
road shops and the sash and door fac
tories II. In March the Slaughter houses
had Is out OF II accidents, the railroad
shops 3 and the sash and door fac
tories 16.
Age Brings Caution
Another feature of the report shows
that as workmen grow older they be-
come more cautious. BY far the larger
FER cent of the accidents occur 20
vorkmen under 80 years old. The re-
port for March shows this most plain
ly. OF the Il injured, there were II
of them under 20 years old; between
the ages of 20 and 25 there were IL in
jured and between % and 80 years of
age there were injured.
An example of the cautiousness is
shown as age advances by comparing
these figures with the number of in
tured between the ages of so and SO. At
this age 1t is considered that a work.
man is in full possession of his mental
faculties. In January there were only
injuries reported in this age list: in
February there was but l, and in March
there were but 2.
In making a summary of his repo:t
the commissioner says:
For the first quarter of 1905 there have
Deen reported 1879 accidents. of which IA
limbs.
For January Sc accident reports are
on ME, or these refer to fatal accidents
For February 72 have been reported 4 of
these were fatal. and the month of March
SHOWS fatal accidents out of a total Of
~. For the last quarter of 1904 October
November and December. a total of 233
accidents was reported, of which 13 were
fatal.
Three women were victims Of accidents
during February, of these being en-
ployed in steam laundries and came to
harm by having their hands caught be
tween the rollers on steam mangles. One
woman employed in a wooden mill had a
finger taken off.
During March a young boy IS years of
age came to death in a pulp mill being
caught on a countershaft while trying 10

One boy 16 years of age had two fingers

SUSPENDS SENATOR
EatOn's Usefulness at Madison
Ceases

MADISON, Wis, April 25.-The
state senate tonight, by vote of % to
5, suspended Senator Barney A. Eaton
of Milwaukee, representing the sew
enth district from further participa-
tion in the legislature this year. An
effort to expel was made, but failed to
secure the necessary two thirds vote
required under the constitution.
Tonights action on Eaton was the
result of testimony given by the SEN
ator at his recent trial in Milwaukee
for alleged graft, of which he was ac-
quilted. The testimony in question
was taken by the senate as assaiIing
its dignity.
