his credit greater achievement in few

byville, who, at fifty. is virtually
at the head of the United States
army, and whose rise 10 that posi-

chief of staff Brig. Gen. J. Frank
lin Bell is the man behind the men
behind all the guns. All orders TO
the army emanate primarially from
his office in the State, War and
Navy building across the street
from the White House. He is the
first chief of staff since the Civil
War who was not a veteran of that
war. Although he is only Brig
adler General he takes precedence
in command before his superiors
in rank.

ADJUSTMENTS
At the New Orpheum.

That masterpiece Of the melodram-
atist's art, "Hagar of the Pawnshop"
was produced at the New Orpheum
theater last night before a crowded
house of delighted auditors.
The authoress, Miss Ella Wilson, ap-
peared in the title role and interpret ID
the child of her own brain to perfec-
ton. She is an actress possessing all
the stellar attributes Of a Clara Nor
ris, Lottie Crabtree Julia Marlowe
and Maud Adams rolled into one, as
her engagement at the New Orpheum
will develop to the entire satisfaction
Of the original audiences of Walla
Walla.
The supporting company from top to
bottom have proven themselves to be,
in their opening play, all that is most
to be desired in a company of sterl-
ing worth. They are actors and act
resses in all that those words imply,
and as production after production is
shown to Walla Wallans they are
bound to grow in public favor.
Despite the fact that the policy Of

ESCAPED CONVICT is BRAVE.
Wins Pardon After Taking Gun From
Lunatic.

PARIS, Saturday, Dec. Am ex-
traordinary act of bravery performed
by an escaped convict has resulted in
his obtaining what is practically a free
pardon.
The man is Francois Plevet, who
seven years ago was sentenced to
death for murder. The sentence was
afterward committed to penal servi-
tude for life. Pivet, however, succeeded
in escaping and nothing more
of him was heard until at Nantes I'M
der extraordinary circumstances.
A lunatic baricaded himself in his
house, and from an upstairs window
fired shots from a gun at the people in
the streets. Several persons were in
jured and great excitement prevailed.
Suddenly a man sprang forward, and
scaling the wall of the house, wrenched
the gun out of the madman's hands.
The mayor of Nantes specially con-
graduated the stranger on his re-
markable GOODNESS and bravery, when
suddenly a policeman present recog-
nized him as the missing convict. He
was arrested and yesterday was taken
before the tribunal.
The trial was short but sensational
The crowd cheered and applauded Pr
vet, and clamored for him to be set
Free
Instead of being sent back to penal
servitude for life, he was sentenced
to one months imprisonment, after
which he will be free in consideration
of his heroic deed"

Roosevelt this morning, as Jonathan
Bourne was introduced by Senators
Fulton and Gearin. How the presi-
dent knew is a mystery to Bourne,
for he had never before seen the
president, but this college tie will be
favorabl to the new senator in the flu
ture When the senate convend
Bourne was taken on the floor by Sem
ator Fulton. The senate recognized
the fact that Bourne would be duly
elected by the legislature, having al
ready been elected by popular vote.
He is the first snator so lected, and
his admission to tn senate floor prior
to his election by the legislature es-
tablishes a new precedent.

Ambition" is free finally from her pla-
tonic alliance.
Justice Geigerich in the supreme
court signed a permanent decree in
her favor and now the woman Who
for five years was a wife in name only
can marry again if she so desires.
The testimony was the most re-
markable ever heard in the supreme
court After five years of married
life Mrs. Hunter does not know what
reciprocated love it, for her husband
always sneered at the word and re-
ferred to the love state as gross.
He said he married her only be-
cause he wanted to mount the rounds
in the ladder of fame with her, to
be a great man and to see ner a
great musician and artist. For sew
eral years she bent to his ideas and ne
repeatedly told her he was the great
est man in the world and that she was
his human experiment" He said he
wanted to see how far her intellect
would carry her.
Before 1 married him he was =
most ardent suitor," said the young
wife, land he told me ne could not
live without me. Consequently it was
something of a shock to me when
began to see what his ideas WERE"
Mrs Hunter explained to the court
in an embarrassed way her efforts to
make him see life as others saw it
but his mind was fixed on one goal
only, and he needed not.

happier we would be if we mad a

almost impossible to get him on the
ground by fair tactics. One of his
greatest asets was trick of getting
the Opposing center off-side. By fake
motion an instant before the ball was

The Best Beloved.

William Stitt, beadle at Durrisdeer,
in Nithsdale, Scotland, was a man OF
about six feet two inches in height,
with broad, heavy shoulders. There
had been a succession of ministers dur
ing his official career, says writer III
Blackwood's Magazine, among them
the Rev. ID. Morrison, who was SUD-
sequently translated to the iron
church, Edinburgh, a minister OF de-
cidedly larger build that his predecess-
ors. One of the farmers in the parish
said to the beadle one day:
Twill. you have served under goou
many ministers. Which Of them all
did you like best?'
''Morrison's clo'es fitted me best:
Will replied curtly.
