GRIZZLY IN DEcEASED'S HUT.
Administrator Knocked Through En-.
trance by His Bearship.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, April 13.-
Near the old San Gabriel Mission, with
in nine miles of city of 100000 souls,
a hermit mas lived for many years in
a little adobe hut. This week he died
and was buried. Not having any
known relatives, Deputy Administrator
Petermichel went out to the shack to
take charge of the old mans effects.
AS the hermit died suddenly away
from the shack the deputy was the
first one to break the solitude of the
dwelling. When he pushed open the
door it was so dark inside that objects
were not distinguishable, so he stepped
inside. Then he was confronted by
grizzly bear which rose to his hind
feet and with blow of his paw sent
the deputy flying through the door.
The deputy did not stop to inventory
the property but took to his heels. The
bear followed him out of the shack
and then took to the mountains. 1t is
thought bruin found the door, of the
shack open and entered, and that the
door then got pushed by the bear max
ing him a prisoner.

WOMAN STOLE GOLD DUST.
Mrs. L. A. Freestone, Arrested in Sc
attic, Confesses.

SEATTLE, April 13.-Mrs. L. A.
F'reestone, wife of the chief amalgama-
tor of the big Treadwell gold mines at
Juneau, has been arrested here by
Pinkerton detectives, on the charge of
stealing $500 in gold dust from the
company's mills. The dust was locat-
ed at the United States assay office
where Mrs. Freestone had deposited
it.
The prisoner admits that she secured
the gold dust unlawfully but she has
refused to give details of now she
came in possession of it. United
States officials say Freestone abstract
ed the dust from the gold machines,
and sent his wife to Seattle to dis
post of it. The woman says she and
her husband were hardup for cash
and that she came out purposely to
convert the dust into cash, and to re-
turn at once to Juneau.
While the theft of the $500 is the
nominal charge it is claimed that the
robbery will run into a much higher
figure. Freestone was one of the COM
pany's most trusted employees.

The Art of Resting.

To understand how to rest is Of more
Importance than to know how to work.
The latter can be learned II one will
give ones mind to 1t, but the former
Is an act some people never acquire.
Rest necessitates change Of scene and
activities. Lounging is very often tir-
ing, sleeping is not always restful, and
sitting down with nothing to do is SIM
ply to invoke WEAKNESS. A change is
needed to bring into play different
set Of faculties and to direct the
thoughts into a new channel. The
woman who is weary and heavy laden
with care finds relief in active employ
ment with freedom from responsibility.
The brain worker generally finds her
rest in playing hard. Rest may be
found in many different ways, but it
is quite a mistake to expect to find it
in Baltimore Herald.

THE ROOSEVELT" TO SEEK POLE
Peary's Exploration Vessel Will Sail
for Far North in July

PORTLAND, Me-, April 13.-Robert
E. Peary's Arctic exploration snip, The
Roosevelt, is here to receive her ma
chinery, This will be of powerful CAL
iber and will be installed within a
month, when The Roosevelt will be
ready for her trial trip. She will then
proceed to New York, and sail for the
far north in July.
The Roosevelt is the first ship ever
constructed in this country for polar
work. She was built under the per-
sonal supervision of Mr.. Peary, whose
long experience in northern waters en-
abled him to embody in The Roosevelt
many ideas, which, it is believed, will
make her one of the best equipped
ships for Arctic exploration ever built.
The vessel has attracted much at
tention among shipbuilders in Maine
by her massive frame and peculiar
construction. All the woodwork was
specially constructed with a view of
withstanding the great strain which
The Roosevelt will be subjected to In
the ice, and Mr.. Peary is confident ne
will reach the furthest point north
ever made by man.
The launching of The Roosevelt at
Vernona was a great event in ship
building circles and nearly everyone In
town turned out to see the Peary Gre
alton take the water.

Cuba'S President.

When Tomas Estrada Palma was
first elected president Of Cuba, in Feb
ruary, 1902, he belonged to no political
party save the party of Cuban patriots.
Since then the Cubans have been sepa
rated into parties on lines Of support or
opposition to various policies. AS the
time for an election approaches the
president has announced his adherence
to the Moderate party. to which 1t is
commonly supposed he will look for
support In the campaign for reelection
that Is about to begin. His term will
expire next year; consequently an cleo
ton must be held in a few months.

For my doll is very i'll;
She's got raging fever, sir.
I guess she's took q chill"
Put a bandage round her head
And mustard to her feet;
Give her cambria tea to drink
And not anything to eat"
IT tried all that two hours ago:
The fever didn't abate.
I lay all the trouble, sir,
To pudding which she ate"
What If the doctor isn't in
Or doesn't care to come
Or charges-as he often does
A most outrageous sum-?

SPECUIATING AS TO WHO WILL
MAKE THE FIGHT AT THE
CITY ELECTION
Principal Opposition Be Confined to
Choice of CounciImen From First
and Second Wards.

Although it is three months before
the city election will occur in Walla
WaIIa there is considerable specula-
ton going on among the people as to
who will be candidates for office.
Mayor Gilbert Hunt is known to be
again be a candidate. So far there
has been no positive announcement
of an opposing candidate, but the
names of William H. Kirkman, Oscar
Drumneller and William H. Dunphy
have been mentioned in connection
with the mayOrality. 1t is not prob
able, however, that either Drumheller
nor Dunphy will go into the fight and
some of the wise ones are asserting
that Kirkman is willing to serve in
the council for a year, before making
a try for the head of the administra
ton.
In the first ward Councilman Glas-
ford is looked upon to be a candidate
for reelection, and it is reported that
ex-Councilman John F. Mclean may
decide to shy mis- castor into the field.
In the second ward there is a pros
pect of opposition to Councilman Smith
The friends of George Retzer are urg-
ing him to come out for councilman
from this ward, and have promised
him their undivided support if he will
make the race. Councilman Smith a
few days ago, after stormy session
of the council in which he claimed he
was turned down on the passage of the
disorderly house ordinance announced
that it was doubtful if he would run
again On the other hand, his friends,
which he numbers by scores in the
second ward, are determined that he
shall represent them again in the
council, and are now at work in his
interest.
In the third ward, one councilman is
60 be elected. William H. Kirkman,
who is now filling the unexpired term
of Eugene H. Boyer, will probably be
a candidate, if he does not try for the
mayorality.
So far there has been no opposition
to Chief of Police Alvah Brown. At
one time it was limited that Fred M.
Duggar, president of the Trades Coun-
Gil, had his eye on the job, but now
that ne has been taken care of and
given a position at the penitentiary,
he is considered out of the race.
There may be opposition to DR.. J.
W. Ingram for the position of health
officer. 1t is said that DR.. C. P. Gam
mon may go after the place again, and
DR.. w M Van Patten has also been
spoken of.
From present indications there will
be no opposition to City Clerk r. P.
Reynolds, City Treasurer r. G. Parks,
City Sexton P. D. Bentley, or Street
Commissioner Harry H Champion.

1887 he was superintendent of too
Goldsboro, N. c., schools, and from,
1889 to 1892 was assistant state sunar.
intendent of North Carolina, a position
which he filled with much credit to
himself. Early in 1892 he was chosen
professor of English in the North Car
DINA State Normal college, and in the
fall of the same year was elected pro-
fessof pedagogy in the University of
North Carolina. In 1896, he was made
president of the same college, and in
1900 ne assumed the presidency of the
Tulane University in New Orleans
which position he continued to fill I'M

ENTERTAINMENT AT WHITMAN
COLLEGE PROMISES TO BE A
GREAT AFFAIR.
Novel Parade of Mock Animals Will
Be One Of the Main Features
Of the Show.

! A parade in which the college band
and the mock animals will take part
is the latest development in plans for
the entertainment, alice in Wonder
land" to be given by Whitman college
students at the nigh school auditorium
on April 26.
| Another new idea is a bear cake
walk which is being worked up for a
special feature between the second
and third acts. Measurements are be-
ing taken today for the animal cos
tunes. Besides the two little bears
there will be an elephant, Cheshire
cat, dormouse, white rabbit, mock
turtle, gryphon, monkey, parrot and a
half dozen other animals all gotten up
| specially for this play, given for the
! first time in the northwest at Walla
Walla.
The rehearsal last night under the
charge of Miss Merrell went off finely.
A reporter who saw part of the fun
prophesies that this entertainment will
be the most laughable thing ever seen
in this city.
Miss Merrel is very much pleased
over the prospects. She had charge
of the sophomore play, "She Stops to
Conquer" given last June, which was
SO successful, and also of the enter
tainment given by the Reynolds hall
girls this winter, "The Crown of
Fame" The present entertainment is
by far the biggest thing which she has
attempted and promises to far eclipse
both the others. The costumes, which
are being made in Portland and Chica-
go, are being modelled after Tenniers
famous illustrations of the juvenile
story, "Alice in Wonderland"
GIee Clubs.
Il think the boys have the best glee
club they have had for three years.
said the president of the girls glee
w
and every boy in Whitman vows that
the girls club is a crack-a- jack. The
two clubs will give the first combined
concert they ever gave in Walla Walla
on Friday evening in the college chap
ell. Each club has 16 members and
they have been practicing with great
energy since the Milton concert to
make the home concert the best of the
year. The club was organized so late
this year that trip was impossible,
so all the efforts of the Whitman sing
ers have been concentrated ON this
Walla Walla concert. The second part
will consist of popular college songs
and also scene of college students
parting at the station at Pasco in
which lots of funny things will be said
and done.
