BILL PROVIDING FOR PENITEN-
TiARY OFFICIALS TO GO
AFTER ALL PRISONERS.
Claim That State Will Save Fifty Pei
Cent in Transportation by the
New Plan.

OLYMPIA, Feb. 27.-The house COM
hittee on appropriations has introduced
a bill by which it is expected at least
SO per cent. of the money now expend-
ed by the state for transportation OF
convicts, insane persons and incorrigi-
bles, will be saved.
The measure will provide that where
the convicts are to be sent to the state
prison insane persons to the asylums,
form schools, employees of the respec-
tive institutions shall be sent to the
city where such state charge is located
and shall take him or her to the insti-
tuition.
At the present time this work is
part of the perquisites of the sheriff
in each county. When persons are to
be sent to a public institution he sends
deputies, and this work is considered.
as a rule as easy money" Under the
new law, should it be approved, the
per diem of the special deputy will be
saved and it will be unnecessary to
send but one state employe where the
sheriff usually dispatches two depu-
ties.
1t is anticipated that the new law
will effect a considerable saving, esti-
mated at as much as one-half by some
of those favoring the measure. How
ever, it is expected that the sheriffs
will bitterly oppose it's passage as cut
ting off a goodly portion of their fees
and there is no doubt the proposed
piece of legislation will have a strug-
gle should it pass.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that's by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining
Of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored
to it's normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by Catarrh, which
is nothing but an inflamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circu-
lars, free.

TEAM HAS BEGUN
PRELIMINARY PRACTICE ON
ON ANkENY FIELD.
Captain butcher Expects to Have the
Champion Ball Tossers Among
Northwest Colleges.

Spring athletics have started with
a vengeance at Whitman college. The
wonderful weather of the last few
days seems to have got into the arms
and legs of othletes from senior to
first-year props, and Ankeny field AMI
the baseball diamond are presenting
sight every afternoon which delights
the heart of every lover of the Ameri-
can game or the cinder path.
Prospects for success in both base
ball and track may in general be said
to be very excellent, although many of
the old veterans who helped to wrest
victory from Pullman and Moscow
will never don blouse or jersey for the
Missionaries again. "Hez'' Brown, for
three years captain of the baseball
nine, will be sadly missed. Besides
being a good man behind the bat he
inspired his team with a wonderful
amount of enthusiasm. On the track
Captain Howard Merritt will be almost
as badly missed He was champion
mile runner of the northwest and was
unquestionably good for ten points in
any meet that Whitman would be in
this year.
In spite of these losses, however,
both Whitman team will be we'll cap
tanned this spring. Both Captain Thos.
butcher of the baseball team and
Captain James Hill of the track aggre-
cation, besides being the best athletes
in their respective teams, are two Of
the most popular fellows in college
and will be sure to get all there is In
the men out of them.
Ridgway Gillis, 'O6, is manager of the
baseball team this year. He already
has seven intercollegiate baseball
games on the string, five of which will
be played in Walla Walla. The team
will blossom out this year in new navy
blue uniforms, caps, etc. These have
already been ordered and will make
big difference in the appearance of
the team.
All games will be played on the
diamond back of the conservatory for
one more year, but the diamond will

the abandoned structure, the chapel was
almost in ruins. To make it tenantable,
its fractured walls were patched with
boards, covered with tarpaulins without,
and draped with green silk within.
1t was an annex to the interior building,
though the gable wall formed part of the
Notifications, and the fiat roof in ancient
times supported several cannon. There
was a reason for this popularity of con-
struction A small circular window looked
out toward the Volga through this section
of the defenses, and admitted the first
beams of the rising sun into the chapel.
Directly opposite was placed miraculous
icon, a half-length representation of ST.
Stanislaus, of which the face and hands
were painted wood, and the remainder
of the figure and drapery consisted of
an embossed metal plaque richly orna-
mented. The background was of dull
gold, and in the eyes of the holy man
were stuck a couple of diamonds or
brilliantS.
AS the castle could be attacked only
from this side, tradition had it that when
an enemy approached too near the eyes
of the image shot fire and the features
worked in indignation, with the certain
result that the assailants were driven
off with great loss. Everyone knew this
story, and no one believed it, yet among
the hundreds resident in the great palace
beneath there was not Russian who did
not regard the icon with awe and the
chapel with superstitious fear.
Again, as the venerated image usually
is placed in a corner facing the door, and
as this icon faced the round window
entrance to the chapel being gained
from corridor directly beneath the frame
of the metal picture-the window itself
was known as "Stenka's door," the tale
being that the founder of the Melnikoff
line used to depart privately by that
means after paying homage to St. STAINS
laus, and carry out some distant foray
while he was supposed to be carousing
in his own apartments.
From these facts two things may be
assumed safely. The Russian attendants

He bent over her, trembling. Sat

But she shrank from him, fearing lest
her fortitude should desert her. She
summoned all her strength and rose to
her feet.

and fed from the room, moaning pitifully.

CHAPTER XIV.
The Miraculous Icon

A GREAT many Russians, like great
n many other people, wear their re-
ligion on their sleeves. In no other
country are the outward and visible
signs of deep religious convictions so
numerous and striking, yet he would be
an unreliable guide who claimed for the
Muscovites a high standard of ethics or
morality.
Ceremonial counts for more than sin
cerity of belief For instance, highway
robber killed and looted the goods of a
traveller; but would not eat a piece of
cooked meat he found in his victim S
vehicle, because it was fast day. An
other knight of the road broke into a
church which contained jeweled image
of the Madonna. Experiencing great
difficulty in extracting the gems, he
vowed to ST. Nicholas that he would
place ruble's worth of candles before
his shrine if the worthy man helped him
in the theft These are not fanciful
statements, but extracts from law reports,
and it is necessary to appreciate such
traits in the national character to under
stand the extraordinary scene which took
place in the ancient chapel of Bannofka
that night.
The old castle browning the hill behind
the palace contained the sacred edifice,
as the architect of the modern building
had not troubled to build up its up-to-
date successor Like the remainder of
