with the occult and actually hypno-
tized himself He was found in his

OREGON LEGISLATURE ASKED TO
APPROPRIATE ADDITIONAL
- k
MONEY FOR ROAD.
Plan to Place Portage Road in Position
to Meet All the Composition
in Rates.

State Senator Pierce of Umatilla
county has introduced in the Oregon
legislature the bill calling for an APP
preparation Of $4,000 for the purpose
Of maintaining and operating the Ce-
lilo portage railway. This appropria-
ton, it is understood, has a hidden
meaning. 1t is thought there may be
competition and to head off anything
Of that nature, should it occur. the
legislature Of Oregon wants the road
to have sufficient money to be able to
meet any cut in rates.
+ IT is also the intention Of the bill
to grant the commission authority to
make contracts for the exchange of
traffic with other lines. so that the deal
with the Great Southern to use its
trackage into The Dalles can be ar
ranged. The bill is an important one
to Eastern Oregon, Washington and
Northern Idaho because of that.

ASKS COURT TO GO couRTINe.
Miss Boyer and Her Fiance Would Lift
the Ban.

NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-Objecting to
her fathers detectives interfering with
the visits of her fance, Miss Adele
Boyer, through counsel for her mother
Mrs. Frank Woodruff Boyer, obtained
from Justice Narean recently in
Brooklyn an arder requiring Boyer
to show cause why the detectives
should not be restrained from shutting
the young man out Of No 2s1 Garfield
place, Brooklyn. The detectives have
been guarding the house and it's con-
tents for Mr.. Boyer since December 8.
He and his wife have applied to the
courts for various kinds of orders, but
the one to prevent William Chilvers,
young lawyer of Manhattan, to call
on Miss Boyer is the oldest feature
of the domestic fight.
Boyer is rated as a millionaire and
the family prominent in the social life
Of the Park Slope until the quarrel
arose. Boyer left the house and is
living in hotel. He placed three de-
tectives in charge of the house, with
instructions not to let strangers en-
ter to see his wife or his daughter.
The engagement of Miss Boyer to Mr..
Chilvers had been announced just be-
fore that. Miss Boyer grew tired of
house, because the detectives would
not let him enter, so fer mother ap-
piled for the order granted yesterday.
BY it the young man hopes the human
watchdogs will be held in leash tenn
porarily.

event was keenly watched because all
were scientific exhibitions and the
kind that are not to be seen every day.

Alexander Balm. the scientist, ex-
planned to the world long ago the sub

upon the body. The mind cure theory
can easily be abused, and it seems that
there is an opposite extreme which
may also be fruitful of harm, and that
is disease breeding by letting the mind
dwell ceaselessly upon microbes, nerves
and so on. One is apt to find just what
he is looking for and to magnify it's To-
cal Importance. Nature has provided
microbe destroyers and nerve healers

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. "a
Apostle smoot resumed his testimony
this morning. When questioned re-

that Thatcher had had trouble with
the quorum Of the twelve. He said
that Thatcher held that the church
rule forbidding Mormons from parti-
cipating in politics without permission
applied to all ranks. until his trial,
when it was interpreted as applying
only to high and paid officials and
the witness agreed to this. The wit
ness said that God communicates
with the Mormon church only through
prayer, never through apostles Or
other priests.
The witness declined to describe
the endowment ceremony on the
ground that he made vow, not an
oath, with his God to keep ceremonies
sacred. He said the oath Of secrecy
is purely religious ordinance. In
reply to questions he said the church
received about million dollars a year
in tithes, Of this one hundred and for

sand in feeding the pser and large
sums for missions. The church had
some money invested in commercial

of their capital.

STUMBLING BLOCK FOR REFORM.
Senator Elkins Standing IN Way With
Senate Committee Hearings.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 24.-The
subject of railroad rate legislation is
before the senate committee on inter-
state commerce. Senator Elkins, chair
man of the committee, has received a
large number of requests from rail-
road presidents fos a hearing before
any bill is reported from the commit
tee. 1t is the intention Of Mr.. Elkins
to grant these requests. In fact, it
is the desire Of Mr.. Elkins to run the
hearings along until it is too late for
legislation at this session.
The senate and house are now work
ing along different lines. The house
is earnestly seeking to pass a bill, car
tons and avoiding the necessity of an
extra session. The senate is trying to
avoid the extra session, but without
any enactment at this session. Mr..
Elkins thinks this can be accomplished
by authorizing a joint committee To
travel over the country during the
recess and investigate the general
question of railroad legislation, report
to be submitted next December. A
number Of senators are convinced that
this will not satisfy the president, and
are urging that some kind of a bill be
passed now, leaving the matter Of
more radical action for next winter.
Chances for Mild Bluff.
Within the past few days there has
been a general gain of sentiment that
possibly something may be done in the
way Of mild bill before adjournment.
Senator Elkins and those representing
railroad interests pronounce this i'm
possible
There is no prospect of the initiative
being taken in the senate. A bill can
not be framed and passed in the house
SO it will reach the senate before Feb.
l. Two weeks would be required for
committee ICoNihS ONe
two weeks in which to discuss the
measure. The chances are all against
anything being done by the senate.
Some senators on the interstate com
mittee do not agree with Chairman
Elkins. They oppose a long series OF
hearings. saying the whole matter has
been repeatedly gone over in recent
years AS an illustration, E. P. Bacon
of the interstate commerce law con-
vention, mas been before the house
committee for several days and all his
testimony is in print. 1t seems i'm
possible that any additional enlighten-
ment can be secured from him in a

RANKIN COUNTY TEACHERS
ASSOCIATION.

In order to elevate the standard Of
teaching, encourage professional ad.
vancement, and to educate public sen.
timent on school questions, it is
necessary that teachers organize them
selves and throw their united force to
the accomplishment of these ends:
Supt. Whitfield declares that.
ga campaign of education may be
made in the state, and the people
of she state may unanimously
be willing to vote every cent needed
to sustain splendid system of schools,
yet if the teachers of the state are
not prepared to organize this enthusi-
asm and means into a system of
practical work, or fail to do so, then
the results Of the campaign are lost.
There is work that can be done
by the teachers only, and If this
work is not done we cannot hope to
have the school. -
In visiting the schools it is very
noticeable that most of the teachers
have made some Progress along right
lines. This is veay gratifying, but
we must continue to improve. Never
before has there been such demand
for better teachers. In the beginning
Of the present scholastic I received
quite number Of letters from trustees
of schools, offering to supplement the
salary of competent teachers. Some
of them could not be supplied. Shall
we meet this demand? Now is our
great opportunity. Shall we take
advantage of it? If SO manifest your
Willingness by being present on the
occasion of this meeting.
A Reading Course is to be outlined,
and every teacher should be present
to take the initiative in this course
Of study. Circles will probably be
organized in each supervisors district
in the county.

Order No.
The following resolution was offer
ed by comrade w. S. Coleman at the
state reunion Of the Mississippi Divis-
ion United Confederate Veterans,
held in the city of Aberdeen on the
9th and 9Th Of August, 1904 and unan-
imously adopted towit; Whereas
the general association Of the u. @.
VS., in convention assembled in
Nashville, Tennessee, confessed their
failure to raise funds for the building
of a monument to the memory Of the
women Of the Confederacy" and
transferred that sacred duty to the
Sons of Veterans.
Therefore, resolved, That we the
veterans OF Mississippi, feel humiliat-
ed at this signal failure, which we
attribute to Indifference and not I'M
willingness, that we reaffirm our love
for and loyalty to the memory Of our
mothers, wives and sisters, who were
the women of Confederacy,'' and
pledge our help to our Sons in their
laudible work, and pledge here that
by camps we will obligate each camp
in our state, for not less than $50, to
be paid in the hands Of treasurer,
etc.
The general commanding most
heartily commends the raising of the
above funds by the several camps Of
the state. It should be a work of love
to erect monument to the noble and
patriotic women who contributed their
full share in the memorable struggle
Of the southern states. The camps
in the state that comply with the
resolution will notify the adjutant
general at Brandon, Miss.

In return for the very beautiful
tribute paid the ladies of the Brandon
Chapter of the United Daughters Of
the Confederacy in behalf of the
Knights, by Mr.. Oscar Robinson, I
desire to express the most gracious
thanks of every daughter of our chap
tel. If that part of the banquet to
which we contributed was q success,
as you SO CALAMITY aver, it was large
ly due to your cordial cooperation.
From the moment we had decided to
furnish the menu, you gave your
ready assurance that you knew we
would make it a feast. OF course
after such confidence we could leave
no stone unturned to make it mem
orabIe occasion. You men can rule
us with love. and praise just as we
can rule you with a smile, or
tear. Not only praise leant us en-.
couragement, but the strong arm as
we'll gave us assistance. We are not
only indebted to you for your moral
support in our enterprise and tor
the graceful compliments Of Mr..
Robinson, a Sir Knight, but also for
pleasure of having witnessed a public
installation. The ceremony was so
solemnly beautiful that we were in.
srired with very deep respect for
your order. AS we listened to your
invited orators, we grew in the belief
of your charity, and benevolence
and admiration for your steadfastness.
We do not have to go back to days
of old, when Knights were bold and
barons held their sway, to find
brave Knights, and true. l doubt
not that every Knight in the assembly
that evening has as true a heart
as tho he were the redoubtable
Knight who wore his spurs of gold
before the admiring eyes of multi
tude. Each wears upon his heart
his lady's colors and, in the profess
sioDs, CT inthe busy marts of trade,
you are working for her and home
and native land.
AS Mr.. Robinson so beautifully
said we are working to raise monu-
ment to the heroes of our lost cause !;
on that occasion we were also striving
to give pleasure to our living heroes,
who in the strenuous life of today
are bearing the heat and burdens OF
the land.
