NOBILITY MAKING CARPET,
Duchess, Two EarIs and a Viscount
Are Interested in New Factories.

LONDON. Feb. 24-Society is al
ways getting more and more business
like, and now it is interesting to note
that several we'll known people have
gone in for carpet-making. The Ouch
ess of Sutherland has started making
carpet at Helmdale in Sutherlandshire,
and her enterprise has found work for
many women whose source of income
had been diminished by the failure Of
the fishing on the Highland coasts.
Then the Earl of Pembroke started
carpet factory at Wilton On strictly
business lines. The Earl Of Radnor
and Sir John Dickson Poynder have
joined in the scheme and small pri-
vate company has been formed with a
capital of 100000 Administer carpets
of fine quality are produced which
cost about six guineas to every square
yard, and each of these yards contains
about 10000 knots of wool.
Viscount de vesci, of the Irish guard,
has founded carpet factory at Abbey

Teachers federation will win the final
decision in the appellate court IN their
remarkable suit to recover $122.00O
deducted from their salaries in 1899
hopeless and is preparing to settle the
claim. AS a result of the salary re-
duction in that year Miss Margaret
Haley and Catherine Goggin went be-
fore the state board of equalization
in 1900 and secured sufficient in
crease to add $4,000 to the school
fund, but the board refused to pay the
back salaries out of this money, and
the matter was taken into the courts.
In sthe board of education budget for
1896 there is an increase of $4,000 for
manual training schools.
The school board is making very
limited experiment in segregating boys
and girls for high school work. This
will be watched with interest by west
ern educators, although they will be
quite inclined to regard the plan with
disapproval and look for it's failure
to accomplish the results expected by
the teacher who requested it and is
conducting the experiment. Principal
James E. Armstrong of the Englewood
high school is strongly of the opinion
that boys and girls Of entering high
school age are not physically fitted to
work in competition, the girls having
the advantage in development. In his
view this has resulted in the 'femini-
zation" of the high schools and oper-
ates to repel the boys. DR.. Armstrong
made request that he be permitted to
divide his freshman class entering in
January into three sections, one of
boys alone, one Of the girls, and the
third Mixed instead Of making an al
phabetical division, as has been the
custom. There was little sympathy In
the board with the idea, but the per-
mission was Given to try the plan.

JAIL FARE TOO GOOD.
Prisoner So Won by Menu That He
Had to Be Pardoned to Gust Him.

CHICAGO, Feb. 24.-Because the cut
sine of the Zon City Jail was superior
to that of boarding house, Alfrde ]
Farley refused to pay a fine Of SO and
announced his intention to stay as
long as the kitchen held out. Farley
was arrested for denouncing IONS
methods on the street. Rather than
board him indefinitely, Mayor Glen
denning finally sent him a pardon.
Following is a sample of the menu
which has delighted Farley and two
other prisoners during the last few
days:
Breakfast-Oatmeal and milk, bread
and butter, a chop, stewed apricots
and occasionally potatoes
Dinner-Bread and butter, meat and
potatoes, coffee and pie.
Supper-Bread and butter, jam, on
orange and occasionally piece of cake

had not been there long before he
grew DISCONTINUED and soon began 70

of running things. He became so out
spoken that he was forced to leave the
church and finally was arrested.

WHITMAN DEBATERs NOW CONTEST
Baldwin, Gilbreath and Sutherland De.
feated Ps..ifie. University Last
Night at Forest Grove.

For the second time Whitman last
night defeated Pacific university upon
the debating platform. The rebuttal
work of Baldwin, leader of the Whit
man team, was a strong factor in de-
Gliding for the affirmative.
The question discussed was: "Re-
solved, that the interstate commerce
commission should be given power to
fix railroad rates. the same to be in
force until overruled by higher courts"
The Whitman team, upholding the af-
firmative, was E. D. Baldwin, James
Gilbreath and Louis Sutherland, all
members Of the senior class.
Within few minutes after the news
of the victory was received the college
bell was ringing and brilliant bonfire
was blazing Firecrackers, bombs and
horns added to the audibility of the
celebration.

DISTRICTS TO ELECT DIRECTORS

On next Saturday. March 8, there
will be an election of directors in ev-
evry school district in Walla Walla
county except district No. 1, which in
cludes the city Of Walla Walla and a
few outlying districts. School Super
intendent Bond is urging upon the
patrons Of every district to hold an
election and elect the qualified number
of directors. In several of the districts
it will be necessary to elect two direc-
tors and in others only one to fill ex-
pired terms.
Many Warm Contests Last Year.
School elections held> last year ter
minated in many amusing incidents in
several of the districts where there
were several candidates in the field.
At Wallula two ladies polled an equal
number of votes and had to draw
straws to see who should have the
honor of representing that district. In
another district a man and a woman
polled an even number of votes. The
man, however, CALAMITY withdrew and
turned the position over to his oppon-
ent without contest. In many of the
districts the contests are spirited and
have the air of asregular political cam
paign. The women as a general rule
take a decided interest in school cleo
tions and turn out and work for a
favorite candidate

WRECKED A HOME.
Attempt Made to BIow Up Family a
Lead, S. D.

LEAD. S. D., Feb. 24-This city is
all excited today over the attempted
destruction last night of the home OF
Con Green, assistant foreman Of the
Homestake Mining company.
About 2 o'clock this morning people
were awakened by the sounds Of a
loud explosion. 1t could be heard al
over town, and every part of the city
felt its force Someone had put
dynamite under the front porch Of the
Green residence, and the porch and
the front Of the house were shattered
Only the fact that the destructive ele-
ment was put so near the fork Of the
house prevented the wrecking of the
entire house and the killing of it's oc-
cupants.
Green's son, Edward, was reading in
bed when the explosion occurred and
received a severe shock, but no one
else was injured. Windows in the high
school building, just across the street,
were shattered. Green is not known
to have any enemies. He is one Of the
most trusted men in the ehploy of
the company and has a wide circle of
friends.
1t is thought that the attempt must
have been made by some laborer who
was discharged and wished to be
avenged An investigation is being
made.

EUROPE SHY OF AMERICAN WHEAT
Buyers Still Holding Off and Their
Is Little Encouragement

Current developments in the wheat
market hold out little encouragement
to holders. European buyers continue
to hold off in the purchase Of supplies
some wheat at this time, the pros
poets are not flattering for disposing
Of the product advantageously, says
the West Coast Trade. The approach
of the first Of March, with the addi-
tional tax upon stocks in farmers
hands, has served to jar loose consid-
cradle quantities held for better
prices, and to this fact some little
business is credited that has been
worked within the past week or two,
but supplies at tidewater are await
ing a termination in the cargo mark

erations.
Fluctuations Now Probable.
The season when crop and weather
conditions commence to exert a
considerable influence on the general
situation is now approaching. and it
is probable that fluctuations will be
Of larger moment. but for the pres

sion in all markets, the unsatisfac-
tory demand for flour being one Of
the elements of weakness. So far as
the statistical proposition is con-
cerned, there are indications of an
abundance of supplies for Immediate
needs Bradstreet's summary shows
that: "Visible supplies in the United
States and Canada increased slightly
during January, something which did
not occur last year or in 1904, and
the like Of which has not, in fact, been

GREAT BLESSING BESTOWED UP.
ON SIMPSON FAMILY RESiD-
ING IN WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-Not often
does it happen that a family OF oroth-
ers and sisters, seven in ali-1our
brothers and three sisters-can meet
in reunion and offer up thanks thal
for more than half a century death mas
made no invasion in their ranks.
Such, however has been the DRESSING
bestowed upon the Simpson 1amliy'
who. at a recent gathering in this CITY,
of the residence of Mrs. Mcklm
widow of the we'll known DR.. samuei
NcKim and one Of the girls OF the
family. were all together at once, ike
unto the days when they were chii-
dren. They are all Of English birth'
and. with their parents, Thomas anu
Mary Simpson, came to this country
more than half a century ago. Inc
a,dars died after becoming established
IN their new home, but the children,
the Oldest of whom is IS, and the oaoy
Of the family, just twenty-five years
vounper have thrived and prospered'
and contentment holds sway at thelr
respective firesides.
Four of this particular Simpson
proup live in this city, Or IN
tho immediate locality, and the re-
naming three in Jersey City, N.
T At their recent reunion there
was none present save the brothds
and sisters. and a happier little group
of brothers and sisters could hardly
have been brought together under one
roof. They talked of old times and OLD
friends presented souvenirs to each
other and recalled no end OF recol-
lections of days that have long since
passed away.
To crown it all these pilgrims from
the mother country went for a ride to-
gether and had their pictures taken.
They are all in GOOD health, and. 1udg-
ing from personal appearances, there Is
no reason to doubt that a decade or
two. hence they may once more nave
the happiness of getting together IN
another reunion and extend one to an
other their mutual congratulations.

SHIELDED HIS WIFE.
Dickens Dies from Wounds Received in
Family Quarrel.

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb 24.-Edward
Dickens, shot Monday evening in a
quarrel with his wife, died early today
at the Swedish hospital.
One of the saddest reconciliations
between man and wife ever witnessed
took place yesterday afternoon at
Dickens bedside, where his wife and
the county officials had gathered to
take his dying statement.
Gathered about the bed were detec-
tives and other officers awaiting for
some word that would throw light on
the case. With them was the wife.
trembling and waiting for forgiveness.
Victory came to the wife. After
shaking his head stubbornly at the of.
ficers and Assistant County Attorney
Bernhagen, who asked him for the
story of the trouble, he turned to mis-
aged wife and in tones scarcely audible
told the story that will probably result
in her complete exoneration.
Forgives Aged Wife.
1T wasn't your fault, Mary" he
gasped. I'VE shouldn't have had the
trouble, but l know you never intend
ed to shoot me. grabbed it and it was
my fault. l want to forgive you."
AS the gray-haired wife heard the
words that meant so much for her fu-
ture happiness, she fell sobbing on the
bed and kissed the dying man, obliy.
ious to those about her.
Then after the reconciliation came
further proof oe the husbands love
for the wife that stood accused. Harry
Mead, attorney, drew up the mans will
leaving his shoe store, homestead and
all other property to her He signed
it with faltering hand, declaring that
she justly deserved it all.

Great Progress Has Been Made
in Animal Surgery.
BRITISH VETERINARY WRITES BOOK
TELLS HOW THE DUMB bRUTES
ARE SUPPLIED WITH
NEW MOLARS.

LONDON, Feb. 24.-Dogs and cats
can now be fitted with false teeth
| wooden legs, imitation paws and glass
eyes. This development of modern
surgical science is described by Profess
sor HOLIDAY, of Kensington, one of the
foremost veterinary surgeons, in his
| book on canine and feline surgery
/ The author expresses the hope that
his volume may advance, "the applica-
ton of modern surgical principles for
the benefit Of the suffering animal
world
Pictures of the operating table,
the apparatus for administering
anaesthetics and the various instru-
ments used in operating are given and
later, in the book. there are photo
graphs from life of dogs and cats
which have been surgically treated
In one picture Blenheim spaniel is
shown, sitting proudly behind his false
leg and imitation paw. Another pic
ture shows the dog wearing his false
limb and looking prouder than ever.
Further on is a pet fox terrier with
| a beautifully made artificial limb of
silver and vulcanite, with a flexible
joint and a false paw. This latter
limb. Others may be had made of
leather with wooden stump and a
half crown limb, the cheapest Of all
is made entirely of leather.
False Teeth for Towser.
In the chapter On operations on the
mouth, several accounts are given of
! cases In which dogs have been success
fully fitted with false teeth. There is
picture illustrative of an aged dog
with a set of artificial teeth which it
has shown in the most approved FASH
ion before the photographers Tense,
and picture Of an aged collie shows
how it's lost teeth were replaced with
! gold by American bridge work.
Realistic glass eyes for cats and
dogs are depicted elsewhere with a
photograph of a valuable cat thus fit
ted on the left side of it's face, the
two eyes looking as much alike as it
could be wished There is also a pug
dog with a false eye of vulcanite and
two pictures of a Japanese spaniel be-
| fore and after the substitution of glass
eyes.
Professor HOLIDAY also tells how
meat skewers, hatpins, stickpins, need
les, nails, tacks, beads, stones, corks
coins. rubber or wooden balls, etc
have been successfully removed from
the bodies of dogs and cats which had
swallowed them.
One of the pictures in this section
is of sheep dog which recovered
after an operation in which the hard
composition of a cricket ball was re-
moved from it's stomach
Dog Swallowed Diamond.
The author relates how once he
found a valuable diamond collar stud
in dogs body, the owners of the dog
having missed it and suspected the
dog Of having swallowed it.
