Reduces Young ConVicts Sentence
From -Four to Two Years
THOUGHT OVER The MATTER A WHILE
CALLED THE PRISONER BACK
AND TOLD HIM THE GLAD

SPOKANE, June 2S.-After reflect
ing for an hour or more yesterday
morning. Judge Huneke had Joe Cakes
returned to the court room and reduc-
ed his sentence. which was at first
placed at four years, to two years.
oakley was arrested by officers at
Davenport, having been traced in that
direction with a horse which he had
stolen from ]. H. Altmeyer on White
Bluff prairie, where the boy had been
employed.
The defendant has a youthful appear
pearance and may be 20 or p years
old He pleaded guilty when first ar
raigned and has never been represent
ed by an attorney When asked this
morning if he had anything to say why
sentence should not be passed upon
him. he referred to the fact that he
had been without parents or any one to
y
and that he had taken care of himself
since that time, but that he had until
this occurrence earned an honest liv-
ing.
In passing the first sentence, the
court observed that the crime showed
every element of deliberatiOn.
When the boy was returned to the
court room an hour or so later the
court made the statement to him that
after considering his youth, his former
record. and the fact that he had no
friends, decided that a shorter sem
tence would better conserve the ends
of justice, and reduced the original
sentence 20 two years.

Thirteen,Year Old Joy Haun Shoots
Frank Shilling
TRAGEDY OCCURS At losI|NE, OREGON
MAN PLACED UNDER
BONDS OF $3,000-SHILLING
NEARLY DEAD.

LOSTINE, Or, June 2S.-Frank Shil-
ling was shot, and it is thought ia
tally wounded, Tuesday afternoon by
Joy Haun, a thirteen year old boy. The
shooting was the result of Shilling's
attempt to regain possession Of his
four year-old boy who had been
awarded to the custody Of his wife
by the district court some months ago.
The Shilling family became involved in
some difficulty which resulted in
a divorce Mrs. Shilling was given
the custody of their child. Since the
divorce Mrs. Shilling has been residing
with her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Haun.
Yesterday Shilling came into town
and discovering that the boy was out
with his uncle, Joy Haun, shooting
squirrels, followed them to the hill
side and picked up the boy and started
with him to his camp. Joy Haun told
him to drop the boy or he would fire.
Shilling did not do as requested and
attempted to striks the gun from
Haun's hand. The gun was discharged
and the bullet struck him in the side.
1t is thought that the ball penetrated
the lung The gun was a thirty-two
calibre Winchester. Shilling is in
dangerous condition. The Haun boy
is thirteen years of age and has been
placed under three thousand dollar
bonds.

The ''RiGht Way to Spell.
Blackwood's Magazine in calling Car
negie's boost for spelling reform an
effort to ''debauch the spelling Of the
English tongue" by one who, unable
to spell himself, would reduce all men
to his own level" is only a little more
personal than sC.ne on this side of the
water who have criticised the PROPOSE
ton. The New York Bookman calls
the simplified spelling boards list 1900
freakish FORMS" Specifically a group
Of writer's in the New York Times
have rung changes on the word
Thought" the reformers writing 1t
''thot," and critics insisting that con-
sistency would demand "sot" for
sought" "bot" for bought" and mot
for 'nought," which would lead to an
archy where established spellings like
''sot" and mot have other meanings.
With this class of critics in mind, Pro
fessor Skeat, an eminent authority on
philology. says that the only real OBJ
stacle to spelling reform lies in the
Ignorance of the opposers."
In the main, however, the cOntro-
versy about the fright way" to spell
proceeds without acrimony on either
side. Time enough for that when one
party tries to impose its right way"
upon everybody else. At present there
Is difference of opinion as to whether
this innovation shall be gradual or
sudden. Mark Twain would like to
see the sudden change tried, as fol-
lows:
Suppose all the newspapers and period
icals should suddenly adopt Carnegian
system Of phonetic spelling What would
happen? We all know quite we'll what
would happen. To begin with, the nation
would be in rage; it would break into
storm of SCOTS. jeers, sarcasms, cursingS,
vituperationS, and keep it up for months,
but it would have to read the papers; II
couldn't help itself. BY and by and grad
ually the offensive phonetics would lose
something of their strange and uncanny
look; after another by and by they would
lose all of it and begin to look rather nat
ural and pleasant: after a couple Of years
of this the nation would think them hand
some, sane and expressive and would pre-
fer them to any other breed Of spelling.
A sudden change. or any change for
that matter, seems to be a thing re-
mote If it shall depend upon a wide
agreement as to the right way" Of
spelling, Professor Brander Math-
ews, who speaks for the simplifed
spelling board, said recently that strict
ly phonetic" spelling is really imprac-
ticable. even If it Is wholly desirable
Before it can be established there
must be a uniformity of pronunciation,
something which does not exist now
and never has existed. Professor
Mathews holds that the ear being
more conservative than the eye new
pronunciation spreads swiftly by inn
itation But the eye is annoyed when
symbols to which it has long been ac-
custOmed are disturbed. The New
York Times remarks editorially that
the spelling refOrmers are "cOmpro-
misers and Opportunists." because
they shrink from changing the alpha
bet With the alphabet as it is, the
Times thinks approximation to
phonetic photography will always be
