BENT ON MURDER.
Fiend Dynamites the Howard Home
Jars All OakesdaIe.

Oakesdale, Wash, Oct. 1.-THE
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Howard
was dynamited at 2 o'clock Monday
morning, the furniture and piano being
demolished, the roof caved in and the
windows in houses near by shattered
by the force of the explosion. The
escape of the Towards was almost
miraculous, as they were asleep in an
apartment on the second floor and the
roof over their heads lodged on the
high oak bedstead, which fortunately
was istrong enough to Withstand the
weight.
There seems to be little doubt that
the explosion was the act of deadly
enemy. The town police officials say
they have good clew to the per.
petrator and are following it diligently
They claim to know of threats made
against the life of Mrs. Howard. In
the dwellings near that of lie How
ards, nearly all the windows were
shattered and in one case a door was
blown off it's hinges. Mr.. and Mrs
Howard were alone in the house and
asleep. The jar awakened almost
every one in town.

Makes as Good, If Not Better, Beverage
than the Whole Leaf.
History tells us that when coffee
was first brought to the cities of west
ern Europe the first makers of it were
Turks. They roasted and ground the
berries and served the liquor as it Is
served to this day in the East, grits
and all. We still drink coffee as we
drank 1t then, with this difference,
that we mostly omit the grits and
drink an infusion instead Of q decoc-
ton. 1t was not so with tea. No
Chinaman was imported with the first
pound of tea to teach us how to make
and drink 1t. The consequence has
been that we have never drunk tea In
the Chinese way-that is, as a simple
infusion.
"At first there seems to have been
great doubt as to how to deal with
the new herb. 1t is even said that 1t
was sometimes boiled, with salt and

CITY PROFITS BY RUM.
Los Angeles Asked to Participate in
Saloon Earnings.

AS the result of formal PROPOSE
ton submitted in writing to the city Of
Los Angeles there is possibility that
the "Gothenburg saloon system" may
be installed in that city, supplanting
the present private ownership of the
200 saloons there. The proposition
came from rs of the leading business
men of the city, among the number
being several possessing personal for
tunes of millions. 1t is proposed by
these men as a company to pay to LAe
city the sum of $4,000 per annum for
the 200 saloon licenses now In opera
ton in the city, and to reduce the to-
tai number of saloons from 200 to %.
The company offers to acquire the fur
niture and fixtures and good will Of
saloons from the present proprietors
at an appraised valuation. After the
license tax has been paid the stock
holders of the company, under the pro-
posed plan, would be entitled to 6 per
cent dividends from the receipts Of the
business on the total amount Of their
investment, the remainder of the prof

GEN. WILLIAMS VIEWS.
In His Annual Report He Urges Young
Officers.

OHlGSrSs
In his annual report to the secre-
tary of war, Brigadier General Con-
slant Williams, commanding the De-
partment of the Columbia, expresses
decided views about the inexpediency
of retaining in the service officers who.
by reason of age, mental condition or
physical ailments are unable to endure
the hardest field service and intelli-
gently direct their troops. He would
have no captain over the age of 40
years, and he suggests a rigid physical,
mental and technical examination for
every officer before he shall be placed
in command of a regiment. A cor
rollary of this project is plan for
the compulsory retirement of officers
to insure the accession to high COM
mands of men young enough for active
field work.
General Williams also urges more
liberal treatment of officers in the mat
ter of expenses. He thinks they should
not be obliged to pay for the heating
and lighting Of headquarters, and that
they should be furnished their mounts
at the governments expense.
He also suggests an improved form
of officers mess and the Strengthening
of the seacoast Notifications on the
north Pacific coast. In Alaska, he be-
lieves Fort Davis, near Nome, might
be proftably abandoned, and Fort
Michael reservation should be consid
erably reduced in size, retaining only
so much land as is necessary for mill
tary purposes. He recommends the
establishment of rifle range at Van
couver barracks and at American lake
Like every general commanding the
great military divisions and depart
ments who have yet been heard from
on the subject, and only one remains
to report this year, General Williams
urges the restoration of the army can

STATEMENT OF M'CURDY.
Purpose of Mutual Life Not to Declare
Dividends to Premium Payers.

New York, Oct. 10.-On the witness
stand at the insurance investigation
this afternoon Richard A. McCurdy,
president of the Mutual Life, made the
startling assertion that in his opinion
the Mutual Life Insurance company
should be conducted as an eleemosy-
nary institution and that the question
of paying dividends to policy holders
should not be considered as Of any
great Importance.
McCurdy declared the real purpose
of life insurance of late years had
been obscured by this striving to make
dividends for the policy holders. 1t
was while Hughes was trying to show
that the expenses incurred by the Nut
ual in getting new business were
larger than they should have been that
McCurdy made the above statement

oLo-TlME SCHOOL READERS.
Death of Noted Textbook Author Re-

Death of Noted Textbook Author Re-
calls Classic Com pendiums.
Probably millions Of gray-halred
men and women will be surprised to
learn that Prof Wilson, author of the
famous school readers and other text
books, has just ended his career not far
from the century mark. The surprise
will be because of the superstition that
be had long ago gone to his reward.
He was the last of a great trio Of text
book editors, McGuffey and Saunders
being the others, who have indirectly
had an immense influence upon the
minds Of several rising generations.
School boys and girls are apt to forget
their arithmetic and geography; but
the memory of the pieces" in the
readers is ever kept green and their
influence in forming character can cas-
lily be underestimated. Seventy years
ago the textbooks of the country were
few and of little worth. Murray's
introduction, English Reader and
Sequel" were used almost exclusively
and mighty poor specimens they were.
It is true there were some good quo
| tations from the classics, but as a rule
| they were of the sickly sentimental
moral sort which was neither literature
nor good ethical food. They were bad
| ly printed with small type and were
highly thought of, largely because
there was no substitute. Then came
the trio spoken Of 1t was Wilson who
| r L. %aI
who sought to put entertaining litera-
ture In them. Saunders was for a Tina
quite as popular, though materially
different in his selections, while Nc
Guffey from many points Of view cas-
lily topped them all.
Many gray-haired fathers who look
over the books for special reading"
used In the schools to-day, with their
half-tone pictures, long poems and
rather colorless extracts in prose, sigh
for the days when McGuffey's fifth
reader was the ambition Of every
scholar That book contained better
and wider selection of English litera-
ture than any that had been compiled
before or perhaps since. 1t contained
not only classic specimens and plenty
of moral and didactic selections. but
it really furnished for millions the only
compendium Of English literature they
were ever to see, unless they were ad-
vanced to speaker" Perhaps mill
ions of children are still using these
readers.
To-day our children get a smattering
Of the poets and little more. The
Lady Of the Lake" seems to be consid-
cred in these days the limit Of gram
mar school entertainment with "Hia.
watha" and "Evangeline' close be-
hind. Excellent as these works are,
they ought not to occupy so large q
space In the curriculum and take up
time to the exclusion of weightier
things. Many a boy and girl Of the
: past who has accomplished the usual
: requirement Of going through the
fifth three times" has emerged from
| school with better equipment, moral
~ and Intellectually, than our children

The extraordinary precaution taken by
the police department for landing
Grove safely behind the bars seemed
hardly necessary, for he gave little
heed to them, and apparently had nc
wish to make his escape.
A large crowd followed the patrol
wagon to the station. where another
crowd had gathered to witness the re
turn Of the prisoner, who was hurried
into the captains Office, where he was
registered. Opposite his name was
placed the charge of shooting with in
tent to kill or wound.
Grove was not inclined to talk Of
his past, and refused absolutely tc
speak of his alleged connection with
the kidnapping Of Eddie Cudahy. He
declared that much had been published
Of his alleged doings, confessions an6
