Burned Their FLAGS.

A dramatic incident which occurred
at fo-t Arthur on the day after the
surrender was reported by party of
officers from the Russian stronghold
who crossed America after the fall
on their way home.
The word of surrender had gone
round the garrison, said one Of them.
We received orders that morning to
mass in the afternoon in the new
town before General Stoessel's head
quarters. Tho regiments formed
there, and moved into a square.
In the middle of the open space a
fire was built. and Stoessel came from
his headquarters with band of
mourning on his arm.
He ordered the regimeatal com.
Manders to mass the colors of their
troops.
Colonel Khilkoff. who had been
wounded some days before, limped
forward, leaning on the arms of two
OF his men. kissed the colors of his
regiment and threw them into the
fire. He ripped off his shoulder straps
and threw them in also.

The Ailments Of Rails.

A curious phenomenon observed on
railways I'm India Is reported by Mr..
Wilkinson, an English engineer, and
noted in la Nature. Says that journal:
AT the end Of a certain time, the rail
presents a series of protuberances on
the rolling surface. spaced about mil
limetres u-5 inch apart and 10 mil
limetre C04 inchD high. This arises
from an excessive elasticity OF the
metal; under the influence OF the vi
bration, nodes and loops are produced
and the loops wear away more quickly
than the nodes by contact with the
rails.-Literary Digest.

BILL TO PROTECT
(RtD|T HOUSES
Especial to The Press.)

OLYMPIA, Feb. AT the request
of a number of men engaged in the
instalment sale of goods, especially
those interested in the implement
business, Senator Rasher has intro
duced into the senate bill the OBJ
ject of which is to punish persons
who sell or dispose of goods which
are not wholly paid for. The bill of
Senator Rasher has been referred to
the judiciary committee and there is
little doubt that it will become law.
The bill is as follows:
THAT any purchaser or lessee of
personal property, obtaining the pos
session of such property under a con-
tracts providing that the title there
to shall not vest in the purchaser
until the purchase price thereof has
been paid in full, who shall inten-
tionally destroy such property or any
part thereof, or shall remove such
property or any part thereof from
the county where it was situated at
the date upon which he obtained pos
session thereof, before the same is
fully paid for without the consent in
writing of the vendor or owner there
of, or shall sell, mortgage, cucumber
or dispose of the same or any part
thereof or any interest therein,
whereby he parts with the possession
thereof. without the consent in writ
ing of the vendor or owner thereof
shall be adjudged guilty of larceny
and shall be punished in all cases
where the value of the property so
removed, sold, disposed of, mort
gagged, encountered or destroyed is
less than $50 by a fine of not less
than $25 nor more than 800 or by
Imprisonment in the county Jail for
not more than six months, or by both
such fine and imprisonment; and
where the value of the property so
removed, sold, disposed of, mort
gagged, encountered or destroyed is
more than $50 by Imprisonment in
the penitentiary for not less than six
months and not more than IA years.

en==-Negro Prizefghter Identifies Degraded Girl

Easier to him to read was that un-
yelling of nude lewdness than to read
the commitment which sent him to
prison.
Pretty Annie Willford was identi-
fed. The lovable high school girl,
the darling of a happy home, was
proved to be a consort of negroes, an
occupant of suicides grave.
Her story is told. To the min
listers of the Supreme Comforter must
that mother go to find the relief
which has been denied her in the
terrestrial life
Mrs. Willford is being made the OBJ
ject of Chief Walters solicitude. She
will be cared for and everything done
to help her bear the awful burden.
The fact that she is a refined, col
lege-bred woman, a consistent church
woman and a lady, socially beloved,
adds to that burden.

Police Waller and asked him to help

To the chief she told the distress
full story. Her plaintive tale, her
utter unconsciousness of the fact
that she had accomplished a marvel
Gus work, stirred the chief.

tears followed those of the poor, sui.

BILE agony attendant upon her inabil-
ity to identify her daughter in sui
cide's grave, the mother presented a
spectacle that shook strong men.
To the chief it was the bitterest
moment of his life. He will never

The worst blow was yet to fall on
the head of that sorrowi,g, grief.
burdened mother.
The chief knew that the man she
sought was negro. He knew that
it was Jolly" Rogers, the negro va.
grant he had locked up downstairs in
the jail.
To tell that mother such a story
seemed worse than murder.
But the pleadings of the woman
made it impossible to refuse to give
her the 1onged for news-the news
that she had crossed the continent to
find her daughter dead.
Terrible as the Information would
be, Chief waller knew that 1t must
come.
He told Mrs. willford that Rogers
was a negro.
The good God above must have lain
a hand upon that poor mother. Yet
she did not die.
White faced, gasping, choking at
the terrible news--trembling as a
stricken animal trembles when the
bullet of the hunter strikes-as the
sinner trembles when he faces the
last judgment--Mrs. Willford sank
down.
Merciful unconsciousness came to
relieve the frightful strain. Won
drous as had been her endurance. the
nightly strained cords had snapped
at last.
But 1t could not last. There was
more to add to that terrific load OF
sorrow.
When Mrs. Willford recovered she
asked that the negro be brought to
her. Chief Waller could not refuse
1t was a tragic, rto-be-for-
gotten scene.
Before the mother stood the vile
filthy negro who had sunk the wom-
ans daughter to the last, lowest
depths of shame and degradation.
Before her was the negro whose re-
lations with her daughter were such
that he could order her to send him
money. no that creature every feat
ure or mark of her daughters person
was known.
But the mother had gone too far tc
stop now. TO her the one great cry
was for the knowledge that the dead
girl at Occur d'Alene was her daugh-
ter.
