INTENDED TO MURDER WITNESS
Indian Woman and Child Beaten TO
Death on Reservation.

Mrs. Susie Buchanan and her 2
year-old child We're murdered in their
sleep at their home on the Yakima
reservation by all unknown person
one night last week, says the Yakima
Daily Republic. There is no clue to
the murderer and the motive for the
crime can only be guessed at. If the
guess is correct the murderer may be
traced.
The bodies of the mother and her
child were found lying in bed. They
had been beaten to death, evidently
with a club. The child's head was
crushed. There was evidence that the
murderer did not complete his work
without "a struggle on the part of the
woman.
The discovery was made by Sam
Asheo. an Indian living near by, who
had gone to the place to make an in
vestigation as to the reason why the
family had not been seen for a short
time. He Immediately afterwards
notified superintendent Lynch of the

Canal Locks In China.

The contrivances for locks along the
Grand canal in China are very simple
stout boards, with ropes at each end
Of them, being let down edgewise over
each other through grooves in the stone
piers. Boats are dragged through and
up the sluices by means Of ropes COM
municating with large windlasses
worked on the bank, which haul them
safely, but very slowly. Artificial
basins were followed out in the banks
of the canal at these locks, where boats
might anchor securely The sluices
which keep the necessary level are Of
very rude construction. Soldiers and
workmen are constantly in attendance
at these sluices, and the danger to boats
is diminished by coils Of rope hung
down at the sides to break the force
Of possible blows.-Technical World

A handy word much misused is ''phe-
nomenon." The London Globe once
heard man explaining its meaning to
friend. He did it as follows: Now, if
you see a COW in medder," ne said
didactically, that's not phinomeena.
It's pretty animal and what not, but
it amt phinomeena. And If you see
a thistle in medder that amt phi
nomeena. Nor If you see lark in the
medder that amt phinomeena. It's
a pretty bird and what not, but 1t amt
a phinomeena. But If you was to see
that cow sitting on that thistle and
singing like that lark that would be n
phinomeena." His friend said. yes, he
saw now.

THE AMERICAN THEATER.
IL should Not BE n Toy 1t should
BE Made nm Educator.

II should Not be n Toy II Should
BE Made nm Educator.
To claim that the stage, no matter
how improved, could work an immedi-
ate revolution In the manners and taste
of our people would be manifestly alb
surd, but 1t is entirely safe to say that
the theater could, In the matters which
apparently 80 ounimportant in life, yet
which mean SO much, be an important
factor in molding ut least the externaB
Of our national character. This means,
however, that, busy as we are, we
should give the theater a more impor-
tant place In our thoughts and In our
scheme of popular education than that
at present allotted to 1t. Nor Is the
claim that the theater might be made
teacher of improvement in the minor
things of life the only one that can be
made for It, 1t might be made the me-
dlum for the elevation Of the popular
taste in all the arts and In literature
and even for the incubation of the prin.
ciples of lofty thought and right living
1t may seem strange that people SO
clever as we are have neglected this
potent influence for good and have re-
garded 1t only as toy for our amuse
ment, to be shaped and fashioned by
the toy merchant solely with view
to making 1t catch the fancy and there
fore become a salable and profitable
article of merchandise. But, as we are
busy and, on the whole, a self satisfied
people, beyond our pursuits and ambi'
tions we look only for the amusements
which shall be the least burden to us.
