MILLIONS FOR EDUCATION.
South African Diamond King Leaves
Wealth to Found Schools.

LONDON, July 23.-The vast estate
of Alfred Belt, the diamond king, will
be devoted to a gigantic Anglo Saxon
educational project, almost identical
with that to which the late Cecil
Rhodes devoted his immense fortune.
This statement was made on good au-
thority.
One special provision in the diamond
kings will differs from any in that of
Cecil Rhodes. 1t provides for the en-
dowment on prodigal scale of great
South African university, technical
college and secondary school. The
university is to be situated on Belts
Sacheenwold estate, between Pretoria
and johannesburg. 1t will be be-
queathed to the department Of edu-
cation of the Transvaal government.
Estimates of Fortune.
All estimates Of Belts fortune are
cOnjectural. Some of his friends here
figure it at from $125, 100000 to $780,
100000, while a dispatch from Pretoria
places it at $45,OOO,O 900 1t is not prob
able that the Wills exact terms will
be published for several weeks.
No great public bequest since the
will of the late Cecil Rhodes is regard
ed as of that worldwide Importance
that Mr.. Belts disposal of his great
wealth holds. Cecil Rhodes left a great
part of his vast wealth to Great Britain
and the United States. By the terms
of his will an endowment fund, esti-
mated at about $1O.OOO,OOO was set
apart for the foundation of so Oxford
scholarships for England and the
British colonies, and nearly 100 schol-
arships for the United States-two for
each state and territory in the union.

LA FOLLETTE'S CAMPAIGN.

Senator La Toilette is to spend the
summer going about telling how his
colleagues did him up, and exposing
their lack of interest in reform. He is
booked to speak in New Jersey where
Dryden of the insurance trust, is
candidate for the senate again. Thence
he will slip over into Pennsylvania,
where there is not a sensational cleo
ton, but where the Lincoln republicans
have combined with the democrats to
put a quietus upon Penrose as state
boss. The Wisconsin senator will de-
liver one of his lectures for the benefit
of the Lincolnites, for he considers
Lincoln republicans almost as good
as the La Toilette kind Then he will
return to the west, and it is alleged he
Nelson in Minnesota, and H. c. Hans
brough in North Dakota.
But the opportunity for which he
longs will happen when he arrives in
Montana This is the bailiwick of Tom
Carter, who was put up in the dying
hours of the senate to talk La Fol-
lette's railway employees bill to death.
La Toilette served notice on Carter
that he would be in Montana during
the summer, and Carter has promised
him a warm reception.
The public may not understand ex-
actly how Senator La Toilette does it,
but he manages to work into lectures
before non-partisan assemblies re-
| marks about senators which have
hair curling effect, and he leaves moth
ing to chance interpretation. Every
assertion is labeled with the name and
address of the man against whom it is
uttered. >-

Noted Bandit "Cured."

MENOMINEE, Mich, July 23.-A
movement is on foot in Northern Mich
igan, led by E. D. Mosher, former
warden of the Marquette prison, to
secure a pardon for Holzhay, the for
mer noted bandit and murderer. For
years Holzhay led a career Of crime,
and was among the most desperate
outlaws in the country.
At the time Holzhay was captured
it was thought that his criminal in
stincts were due to diseased mind,
and an operation was performed on
him in the Ionia hospital for varico-
cele. He began Immediately to show
signs of Improvement, and soon recov-
cred his mind. He was then removed
to Marquette, where he is the prison
librarian and editor of the prison pa
per, the Progress. His character has
shown a great change for the better.

BRIDGE COLUMBIA At kENMtW|Ck
Yakima and Kennewick Business Men
Start Movement for an APP
preparation.

A movement has been started by To-
cal business men, backed by promi-
nent politicians in the Yakima valley,
to secure an appropriation for a wag-
on bridge across the Columbia here,
says the Kennewick Courier. Pasco
people are also interested in the pro-
ject, and will line up their side of the
Columbia to a man for the new pro-
ject. 1t is evident that two adjacent
towns like Pasco and Kennewick will
have a constantly increasing travel by
road between them. These towns will
be the business center of all this re-
gion, and now is the time to lay plans
to accommodate this travel by easy
communication between the towns.
The bridge would be a decided help
to the business interests of the towns
and would increase their commercial
importance, and the bridge would be
the only one built in this locality for
some years to come. The state is ap-
propriating large amounts for state
roads where they are necessary, and
the same argument would justify the
expenditure for this bridge which
would be an improvement as general
in usefulness as any road now being
constructed in the state

TEACHERS NEED NOT Be vACC|NATED|
New Educational Code Has Been
Adopted BY Great Britain
Now in Effect.

LONDON, July 23.-The new educa-
tiOnal code for Great Britain for the
year 1906 has just gone into effect. It
contains several important changes
from previous regulations. One of the
most important is a provision which
has been inserted relaxing the obliga-
ton to be vaccinated in the case of
teachers who have declared themselves
to have a conscientious objection to
vaccination, a similar instruction hav-
ing also been inserted in the regula-
tons for the instruction and training
of pupil teachers. The fact that such
a teacher has not been vaccinated will
in all cases be kept on record by the
board and the code orders that it must
be clearly understood that the board
will not recognize any such teachers
except with the consent of the local
education authority, which may ex-
clude such teachers from the schools
or not, according to their judgment.

THE FORT is STILL HERE.

When the boys of the Fourteenth
Cavalry marched away from Fort
Walla Walla this morning on their
way to American Lake, some there
were ready to believe it would be the
last Walla Walla would see Of the
rumors which have been persistently
circulated to the effect that the es-
Establishment of a brigade camp would
result in the closing of Fort Walla
Walla.
Fears of the abandonment of Fort
WaIla Walla at this time are un-
founded. 1t is a question which cannot
come up for settlement for many
months to come And when the mat
ter is considered, it is certain the
claims of Walla Walla will be pressed
just as closely and with as much in
fluence as will the claims of any other
site
AS a brigade camp Fort Wala Wal
la has all the facilities, land space and
other inducements that go to make
decisions for army locations. There is
no other location so we'll selected or
possessing more advantages for the
housing. caring and accommodation
of a brigade of soldiers. There is no
other site which offers sufficient room,
through added land, for artillery prac-
tice.
When the time comes the advantages
of Walla Walla will be presented. The
conditions are such that careful, I'M
biased consideration by the authori-
ties is assured.

German SIashed With Sword.

BERLIN, July 23.-While Robert
Liebig, tradesman, was going home
Sunday night, he was ordered by po-
liceman to cease singing. He declined
to do so and was arrested and hand
cuffed.
Liebig, indignant at being treated
as a criminal, and claiming the hand
cuffs hurt him, tried to release his
hands, whereupOn the policeman drew
sword and slashed him over the head
inf1icting a wound five inches long,
from which blood poured. The man
was so badly injured it was necessary
to take him to the hospital. The af-
fair has caused public indignation.

CUTS FATAL CASH.
Son Slabs Father in Sight Of Sweet
heart to Whom Latter Objected.

NEW YORK, July 23-During a
quarrel between Conrad Schirmer and
his 19-year-old son, Conrad, at the
home of the sons sweetheart, Miss
Clara Lazarus, in East 104th street,
the lad stabbed his father with a piece
Of broken glass, inflicting probably a
mortal wound.
The elder Schirmer several weeks
ago ordered his son to cease paying
attentions to Miss Lazarus, but the
youth had become engaged to her and
his mother pleaded his cause. The
father then consented that the boy
should marry the girl when he was 81
years old, but Mr.. Schirmer declared
that Conrad must stop staying out so
late nights while calling upon his
sweetheart.
The boy disobeyed, and when he
went to Miss Lazarus home last night
he remained very late and his father
went in search of him. When the
father attempted to chastise the son
in the presence of his fiancee, the boy
resisted and in the struggle that en-
sued the father broke through the
glass panel of a door.
Miss Lazarus attempted to interfere
in behalf Of the boy and Conrad seized
a piece of broken glass and plunged it
into his fathers side, inf1icting dan
gerous wound. The wounded man was
removed to a hospital, but refused to
make a charge against his son. Conrad
was arrested.

HE DEFIES POSSE.
Tennessee Murderer FIees to Mountain
Refuge.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, July 23.-John
Mcpherson, who killed two men on
Sunday, and who has been located in
DEVILS Den, and, according to pnis
father, DR.. Buck Mcpherson, who is a
prisoner at the Jail here, it will be
impossible for the officers to capture
him. A posse of county officers left
on Monday for the den, but have not
returned.
The den is located in the widest
section of the mountain region. 1t is
in deep gorge of about 40 acres and
the gorge is filled with boulders, some
of which are of immense size.
There is but one route through it,
and there are many places where one
has to. crawl, so that a ten minutes
start at the beginning is still ten
minutes start at the end
One familiar with the den can find
the route to the Devils Chimney
| in the top. a cave perfectly inacces-
| sible to the novice. The den is the
retreat of all fugitives from pustice
McPherson's relatives live in that sec
ton and will see to it that he is kept
supplied with food until he is ready to
give himself up.

HARSH TREATMENT.

The National City, or Rockefeller
hank has a capital of $25,000,0OO,
surplus of s19,OOO,OOO, loan account
of s15S,OOO, 900, and makes a total
showing in deposits that runs up close
to the 5000. 100000 line at times. AL
together it is the biggest thing of its
kind in the country.
The men who run the affairs OF this
great institution have been using an
ordinary mahogany table upon which
TO lean their elbows and talk over the
money market and the rate for call
loans. 1t was decided that something
better was necessary to fit the dignity
of the assemblage and so the bank sent
to Italy for a costly marble table,
which came to hand in due time.
The collector of the port tackled on
so per cent of the valuation under the
tariff provision covering imports Of
manufactured marble" But the bank
came back promptly and called atten-
ton to the deliberately carved supports
in the Pompeiian style and said that
any one could see that these were
statuary, and that the table should
come in as statuary, and be admitted
upon payment of 20 per cent, and the
alternate claim was made that the
table be given the benefit Of a reduce
ton of Is per cent applicable to stat
uary imported from Italy.
The collector could not see it that
way. The legs, he agreed, might be
statuary. but the bank was importing
a table, not a bundle of legs, and the
table certainly was manufactured
marble" the legs being merely second
airy and incidental thereto.
The bank had to pay up or leave its
table in hook.
Thus is the capitalist soaked in our
country. 1t is not to be wondered at
that William Waldorf Astor pulled out
and became an Englishman and that
Rockefeller is now in England and is
likely to stay there. Such harsh en-
forcement of the tariff against a bunch
of standpatters themselves is almost as
much of an outrage against the fiat
boys" as the filming of rebaters or the
exposure of packing house nastiness.

THE BATTLE IN IOWA.

Governor Cummins and his support
ers in Iowa are associated in the pub
lie mind with the movement to bring
the revision of the tariff by his friends
to a definite issue. This is why Sec
rotary Shaw is so violently fighting
the governor. Otherwise his interfer-
ence with the nomination of a gov
ernor in his own state would be con-
sidered pure impertinence on the
1t would long ago have redounded to
the distinct advantage Of the governor.
Governor Cummins is credited large
ly with the authorship of the Iowa
idea. which is that the tariff on trust
made goods which have by artificial
restraints Of trade produced artifcially
high prices, to be paid by American
Iowa idea is that the consumer is en-
titled to some protection as well as
the manufacturer. The plea of the
high tariffite that the tariff must be
o. X. since our foreign trade continues
to flourish, does not answer all of the
objections of revisionists. They are
interested to know how much they are
paying individually in the way of a
bonus to trusts to enable them to sell
their wares abroad cheaper than they
sell them at home.
The point that should be kept ir
mind is that the Endorsement or de-
feat of Cummins in Iowa means the
Endorsement or defeat of practical
tariff revision. The issue is national
not local. no matter what Genera
Hancock said on the subject. The bat.
tie that is being waged on Cummin:
