'BERNEY SCHOOL DISTRICT EXCITED
WILD RUMORS THAT PUPIL HAD
BEEN UNDULY PUNISHED
GREATLY MAGNIFIED.

Corporal punishment melted out to
Alice Heath, a 11-year-old student at
yesterday forenoon created some little
hubbub among patrons of the school
owing to wild rumors circulated
around the neighbornood last night
that the girl had been unduly punish
ed. An investigation of the case by
the directors of the district this morn
ing cleared Principal Bauer of any
wrongdoing and the sensational ac-
count of the affair given by a Walla
Walla paper was strongly condemned
by both the directors and many resi-
dents of the district who are ac-
qauinted with the facts.
According to one of the directors,
who visited the home Of the Heath girl
this morning, the young miss showed
little of the fearful punishment that
sitting in a rocking chair, reading a
story book, and seemed quite happy
that she had been the means Of Great
ing such a sensation. Miss Heath, it
is said, is one of several pupils at the
Berney school who have given the
teachers considerable trouble Of late.
Yesterday, for some infraction Of the
rules, Principal Bauer whipped the girl
with strap. A few marks were left
On the girls shoulders as a result of
the whipping, and last night the par
ents of the girl demanded of the direc-
tors that they discharge Principal
Bauer. The directors investigated the
affair this morning, announcing after
ward that the principal had not ex-
ceeded his authority in Furnishing the
girl. The notoriety given the affair
was roundly denounced by the
directors

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-Minor
Meriwether, Jr., midshipman, second
class, Is causing some anxious mo-
ments to the legal authority of the
navy department. Meriwether engaged
in his historic fight with James R.
Branch, Jr., November last, because

posed was a years confinement within
the limits of the academy.
Meriwether was serving this SEN

ALMOST A LYNCHlNG.
Child Fatally Shot and Mob Attempts
to Hama a Man.

CHICAGO, Jan. ga lynching was
narrowly averted in Chicago tonight
as the result Of a shooting from which
4-year-old boy will probably lose
his life.
Norman Distress 4 years old, was
playing with several companions, n
front of the saloon run by Joe Cameo,
and they were ordered away by HIM.
They refused to leave, whereupon he
drew a revolver and fired into the
crowd of children. The bullet struck a
little boy in the left shoulder, passing
through the body. He was taken to
the hospital, where his life is departed
of.
After the shooting a crowd formed,
determined to lynch Gamont A riot
call was turned in and the police had
to battle their way to the police sta
ton with their prisoner. Seven lead
ers of the mob were locked up. The
others demolished the saloon.

Commssary General Will Establish
| Two More Schools.
JEFFERSON BARRACKS AND PRESIDE
Enlisted Men Are to Receive Course
of Instruction as to Preparation
of Food.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 26.-The
commissary general of the army,
General H. G. Sharpe, mas decided to
establish two additional schools for
bakers and cooks for the United States
army. One of these schools will be at
Jefferson barracks, Missouri, and the
other at the Preside, at San Francis
CO. So much success has followed the
operation of similar schools at Fort
Riley, Kansas, attended by the en-
listed men and by company commanu-
ers, that Gen. Sharpe realized that the
increased facilities of instruction in
cooking and baking in practical way
will be of decided advantage to the
army. He is firm believer in the in
fuences upon the military efficiency
of proper preparation of the food for
soldiers in the field. Hitherto little or
no attention has been paid to the sub
ject, and it is thought that familiarity
With Sucn work Oh the part VI tIlOSc
employed to do the cooking and baking
as we'll as on the part of the officers
in command of companies, batteries
and troops, will be quite as important
in it's way as any other training for
military duty. General Sharpe is also
anxious to have established a series Of
prizes which will be given to those
who make the best records at the
schools of cooks and bakers. AT the
end of each term, the class will be
examined practically and tneoreti-
cally, and those who stand at the head
will receive prizes, he hopes. 1t is es-
timated that $500 a year would fur
nish the compensation regarded as de-
sirable to award for the demOnstra-
ton of skill in this direction.

Petition Of Mi|Iers and Farmers
Under Consideration.
The COMMISSION POsTp0NEs ACTION
Members Believe That the Matter Will
Be Amicaby Settled at
Early Date.

The complaints of the millers of Sc
attic and Tacoma and of the wheat
been receiving the attention of the
railroad commission for several days
The desire of the commissioners has
been to secure an amicable adjustment
of the matter and, if possible, have the
order of adjustment become effective
at once, in order that whatever benefit
is to be derived from the joint rate
the 1906 crop, instead of having the
question involved in litigation for
years, is the report that comes from
Olympia.
Commissioner Lawrence spent Mon
day and Tuesday in consultation with
O. r & ~ officials in Portland, and
Tuesday all the commissioners were in
Portland and met the o. r. & N. traf-
fic managers, at which time the ques-
ton in all the branches We're discussed
Ask for Further Time
The commissioners would not make
public the result of the conference,
further than to say that they were
satisfied the railroads are giving the
complaints their earnest consideration.
The railroad officials have asked for
further time in which to consult among
themselves with a view tot ascertain
ing if there is a possibility of arriving
at an amicable adjustment of the joint
wheat rate question.
In view of the Importance of the is
sues involved, and the possibility of
an amicable arrangement or adjust
ment without the necessity of a far
NAL hearing and subsequent litigation,

the commissioners felt justified in
granting the request.
An immediate hearing could not be
made effective as to wheat now on
hand The delay asked for by the roads
will not interfere with a hearing be-
fore the 1896 crop is ready to move
if an amicable adjustment is not
reached.

American beauty roses, lovely beyond
comparison, and he gathered an armful
and started to his home above.
AS he scared in the air he saw a
baby's smile, and, filled with rapturous
admiration at the sight, returned to take
it. too. BY its side he discovered a
mother 3 love. and with all three in his
arms, he mounted the place beyond the
sky.

spirit paused a moment and 10! the roses
were withered and dead, and the baby's
