SLAYER OF O. N. PRESTON SEN
FENCED TO PENITENTIARY
YESTERDAY.
Attorneys Fail to Ask for New Trial,
but Will Appeal to the Supreme
Court for Relief.

rendition, June 29.-Ten years
in the penitentiary is the sentence that
was passed on Grover Martin by Judge
w. r. Ellis, and unless a new trial be
ordered by the supreme court that term
will be Martins penalty for having
killed o. n. Preston.
Immediately after the converting Of
court yesterday, notice was given by
Colonel Raley, Martins attorney, that
no new trial would be asked and time
for sentence was waived. No notice of
appeal mas yet been fled. nor was any
statement made by the defense regard
ing an appeal.
However, 80 days was allowed at
the close of the recent trial for the
fling of exceptions to instructions and
notice of appeal. Consequently, it is
possible that an appeal may be made
by the defense later on, in which case
it is said the court will be asked to
release the prisoner on bail. Before
his can be done however, it will be
necessary for the defense to secure a
certificate of probable cause setting
forth the basis upon which the appeal
is to be made.

DEWEY WEPT OVER LADS LOVE
Had Leaped Overheard to Save Pic

WASHINGTON, June 29.-The fol-
lowing story of Admiral Dewey is told
by one of the sailors who returned on
the Raleigh recently. Just before the
battle of Manila when the order was
given to strip for action, the smallest
powder boy on the flagship dropped
his coat overheard. He asked permits
sion to jump after it, but was refused
He went to the side of the vessed,
dropped overheard, recovered his coat,
and was promptly arrested for DISC
bedience.
Admiral Dewey spoke kindly to the
youngster, who broke down and said
that the coat contained his mother s
picture, which he had just kissed, and
he could not bear to see it lost. Dew
ey's eyes filled with tears. He fairly
embraced the boy ordered him to be
released, saying: Boys who love their
mothers enough to risk their life for
their picture cannot be kept in irons
on this fleet"

LEGE TO BE ESTABLISHED
IN WALLA WALLA.

able Location.

The accompanying cut represents
the proposed Normal School and Bust
ness college to be established in this
city. This school, though different
from other institutions of learning in
the West, in mana cement, arrangement
of study and methods of teaching, will
occupy one of. the highest positions
among Walla Walla's educational in
situations. This institution will offer
for one tuition a greater list Of sub
jects from which students may select
their studies than any other school.
Students will come here from almost
every state in the Union and attend at
a less expense than is possible at some
home institution, and at onefourth
the expense necessitated at institutions
where higher living, and exOrbitant
prices are in vogue. Students may
enter at any time and select their own
studies.
Public opinion pronounces these insti-
tutions the peoples school. 1T is truly
American" While labOrers get more
wages, manufacturers and farmers
higher prices for their products, and

other schools raise their rates, the eX-
pense for tuition here, will remain the
same. Without raising prices this col
lege will continue to do the highest
it a leading position among the edu-
cational institutions of the United
States
This will be one of the largest and
most thoroughly equipped institutions
in the West, and expenses will be the
lowest.
The general advantage over all other
schools is that students can carry a
regular college course, or any literary
course they may desire, without incon-
venience or additional expense, or
they may select studies from courses,
such as language, mathematics, science,
history and literature. This can be
done successfully at few other insti-
buttons.
By way of Illustration of what may
be accomplished by the establishment
of this school in Walla Walla, atten-
ton is called to similar schools, one
established in Northern Illinois, known
as the Normal School and Dixon Bust
ness College. The other in Northern
Indiana, called the Valparaiso college
and Northern Indiana Normal school,
The success of the first institution has
been unparalleled in the history of
schools, beginning with SO students it
has constantly increased in attendance,
which now has reached more than 1000
students. The steady progress of the
institution has been so phenomenal
that all property in it's vicinity has in
creased in value more than 500 per
cent, and now the value Of it's grounds
and buildings exceeds 100000, and a
has grown up around it.
The school at Valparaiso, only a few
years older than the above, was or
ganized with four instructors, four de-
partments and 35 students; now there
are SO instructors and 10 thoroughly
equipped departments, and an average
attendance of more than 1000 students.
When this school was organized
what is known as College Hill was a
commons, on which stood a part of the
old college building and six residences;
now the entire space is occupied by
college buildings. dormitories and hun
dreds of residences.
To the thinking mind the remarkable
growth in both these cases is sufficient
evidence that the work accomplished
with schools of this kind meets the
wants of the times. These institutions
now have representatives from every

The letter called attention to the fact
that the election was held before Athe-

The Press. The bill does not become
a law until 80 days after adjournment
of the legislature, May 19-after the
special election had been held. An
other error in the method of procedure
was the act of the council in declaring
the special election by resolution, wnen
the charter specifically states that it

Gaskll began his life story when he
was in Princeton. At night in his own

He writes with the utmost feeling
about the altering of the first certi-

with his small capital. He turned first
to his friends and then to mis- ac-
quaintances, and finally to the banks
in an effort to get the money needed.
Everywhere he met with rebuff.
In disconnected sentences Gaskill
writes about picking up his pen to
change the figures on the certificate,
only to lay it down again. This he did
many times before he finally by for

of the paper.
