RIVER FELL YESTERDAY.
The Steamboat Men Will Welcome
Warmer Weather.

Thursday night was colder than an
ticipated and yesterday the river fell
about three inches, says the Lewiston
Tribune. Owing to this fact the boat
service will not be resumed this morn
ing, and unless a much higher temper
allure than is expected is recorded to-
day the service will remain suspended
tomorrow. The sudden fall and rise
of the river at this season is sub
ject to the weather conditions prevail
ing in the snow belt so that when a
higher temperature is reached there
only a few hours are necessary to
bring the river up to a boating stage
thus enabling the run to be resumed
on short notice.

STING OF BEES MAY KILL
FARMER WILL PROBABLY DIE
AS RESULT OF ATTACK
BY BEES.

DIES MONIES, Jan. 3.-Joel Whelp-
ton who lives near Fort Des Moines,
may die as the result of an attack
made upon him by a swarm of bees.
Yesterday ne attempted to move a
hive when the insects came out of
their winter stupor and set upon their
disturber. Whelpton dropped the hive
but his efforts to escape only aroused
the fury of the bees, which stung the
man so badly about the head that he
fell unconscious and was discovered
in that sondition several hours after
ward.
His body is so badly swollen as. to
be a shocking sight, and physicians
fear that it will be impossible to coun-
teract the poison sufficiently to save
the mans life.

THE SAFETY
OFYOU7 MONEY

Many people do not realize how very
safe a bank is to keep their money in.
Consequently some people hide theirs
away.
This bank is safe for four big rea-
sons.
First. 1t has the latest improved
burglar proof safe made of one solid
block of Manganese Steel with round
screw door and triple time locks. AL
so carries burglar and hold-up insur-
ance.
Second. Should your money be stol-
en-, not you but the bank loses it.
Third. This bank has a paid up
capital of 100000. The stockholders
are also liable for 100000 additional,
and each of them is worth more than
double the amount of their stock;
making a total responsibility of more
than 100000, standing between our
depositors and any possible loss.
Fourth. Another essential safety is
afforded by the careful, conservative,
and active management of the men
who govern the affairs of this bank.
You are invited to call and see us.

pie to these small public day schools
throughout the state, convenient to
the homes Of deaf children Is as vital
and sacred as their right to public
schools for hearing children. The saw
ing to the state of Wisconsin in twen-
ty years as compared with the cost
of educating the same number Of deaf
mutes in a state institution is estim-
ated at sS5O,0OO.
After tour of inspection Of Wis
consin's public schools for deaf mutes
a few years ago Professor Bell said
in a public address at Milwaukee,:
Wisconsin has startled America
with her progress in the education of
the deaf and it now becomes the duty
of all the prominent instructors of the
deaf to come and see what you are
doing. Other states are beginning to
follow your lead. Wisconsin today
represents the most progressive move

there. 1t is delightful to see little
children who would otherwise be
dumb, talking, if not so we'll as other
children, still so that friends and rel
atives may understand them at home,
and so that they can understand by
watching the lips, what people say to
them"

upon the broad principle and policy of

California has adopted a system Of
public schools for deaf mutes and
other states will follow.
Joseph H. Miller of this city, for
many years has endeavored to bring
the question of oral teaching for deaf
children to the attention of Washing
ton legislatures. He believes that the
sign method of teaching used at the
state istitution at Vancouver is out
of date as an exclusive system and
that more attention should be given to
letters to many educators of the state
urging their aid in securing a reform
in the methods of instructing the deaf
in this state. In response to one OF
these letters superintendent o. S.
Jones of Walla Walla's public schools
has written the folliwing letter to Mr..
Miller:
J. H. Miller, 511 Park Street
Dear Sir: have read with interest
the circulars and your letters concern
ing methods of teaching the deaf.
Having had no experience in that line
Of work, and no opportunity ito OBJ
serve results by comparison Of the
methods used, I am unable to render
any opinion. The cause is indeed a
worthy one and if there are methods
better than those used in our state
school they should be introduced there.
AT least, the teachers employed in such
a school should be humane, ex-
perienced and efficient
Very truly yours,

 sometimes becomes an important mat

 A concise history of each log is kept, showing the location of the tree ill the forest, the kind of soil in which it grew, the time of cutting, and the length of time the log lies in the water. On arriving at the mill the log is sawed in any way desired, and can then either be tested shortly after coming frc-, the saw or laid aside for the purpose or air drying or kiln drying before testing. The plan of work at Charles ton included investigations to deter mine the effect of anots on the strength of timber; the relative strength of air dried and kiln dried timber; the effect of rate of growth upon the strength; the influence of the relative strength of sap and heart wood, and the influence on the strength of the method of saving

SATURDAY, JAN B, 1906.

The American soldier is being quite past the German officers compre- hension, says a Boston exchange Every little while some military Ger. man visits us, looks at our men swing ing easily in campaign uniform through a drill. and returns to his own country with the report that the Amer ican army is nothing but q mob Of tramps. Evidently the Neue Preus- siche Kreuzzeitung, an important Der lin paper, has based upon such reports as these its announced opinion that the American army is rotten" Against this judgment the secretary of state saw fit to reply. He points out to the Germans that, in spite of its remote ness from the Prussian standard. our army is really quite fit for its purpose, which is to serve as q nucleus for our national defense Whether we do well or i'll, we have nothing that can he truly called standing army.

The young attorney general had sympathized with the fight of his native state of Kansas against the Standard Oil company. and this fact may have had something to do with his taking up the cudgels in his own state.

An Oily Streak For Tall Timber.

As all the world knows. the Rogers jokes were sprung at the investigation made by the state of Missouri into the subsidiary concerns. of the Standard Oil company.

This would constitute con spiracy in restraint of trade, which Is in controvention of the state laws, and Hadley started suit to drive the com panies from Missouri. He first held bearings at home. but found all trails led to the Standard offices in New York. So he concluded to face the lion in his den. The chief difficulty in this pro gramnne was to find the lion.
