AT SAN FRANCISCO.
National Educational Association VIII
Hold It's Annual Convention.

National Educational Association Will
Hold Its Annual Convention.
The National Educational Associa-
tion will hold its annual convention
in San Francisco from July Z to IA
of this year. The people Of San Fran
cisco and in fact the people of the
whole Pacific coast are preparing a
welcome aud reception to the teachers
the equal of which has never been
given to any organization.
The educational value of these
meetings is we'll known and those in
terested in education throughouS the
state are anxious to have our teachers
participate first, because it will be
many years before another National
Educational Association will be so
assembled and second, because our
standing educationally will be judged
largely by the attendance of Oregon
teachers at this convention.
The railroad and steamboat lines
have granted very liberal rates and
the local committee at San Francisco
assures us that there will be no ad-
vance in the regular rates at hotels,
rooming houses and restaurants in San
Francisco during the convention week.
Any data or informatiodn IN any
way relating to the meeting can be
obtained by addressing the California
Committee, N. Il. A. No. a5, New

BLOODY CLUE FOUND
DETECTIVE STILL AT WORK
ON NAYL0R CASE.
After Announcing His Departure for
Omaha Officer Remains and
Unearths Clue.

The Pendleton Tribune, by publish
ing the following revives interest in
the Naylor murder:
That the police have strong clue
as to the murder of Fount Naylor, the
Athena farmer, is now manifest to
anyone who has kept in touch with
the case since the body of the dead
man was dragged out of the Byers
mill race, early Sunday morning,
March 18th.
The Tribune reporter who was first
detailed on the murder story has been
trying to get an additional story from
the police for the past three weeks,
but owing to the mysterious silence
which has enwrapped the department,
nothing definite could be learned un-
til last week, when it became known
that a detective from Omaha was
working on the clue. When the in
dividual who had been preserving the
utmost secrecy in his hunt was first
discovered be gave out the informa-
tion that he had found nothing new
and that he had given the case up.
He announced his intention of leavin G
for Omaha and that the matter of
finding the cowardly nocturnal as
sassin who treacherously killed Nay
Ior and afterwards threw his body in
to the mill race had been dropped for
good
The detective apparently departed
but it has been discovered that he is
still here and in a new disguise. 1t is
rumored that the hat which Naylor
wore the night be was killed has been
found, and several other facts that
were not disclosed at the inquest have
come to light. 1t is rumored that an
unknown man, presumably stranger
in Pendleton, was seen with Naylor
near the outskirts of the city on the
night Of the murder. and the detective
who has been here for the past two
weeks is thought to have found clue
to the identity of the murderer in an
article said to have been stained with
blood and bearing the initials of some
ore, presumably the owner.
Another fact that leads to the belief
that the police have not given up
hope of finding the assassin is the re-
ticence preserved at police head
quarters.
A man is said to have been seen
skulking in the vicinity Of the mill
race at late hours in the night.
1t is evident that if the authorities
have concluded that the mystery is
too battling to be solved and dropped
the matter entirely they would not be
averse to giving out the facts of the
case when requested to do SO by
newspaper men. II would be strange,
too, if after ,coroner's jury brought
in verdict Of murder that those
who are supposed to guard the welfare
of the municipality should make as
little effort to fix the crime upon the
shoulders of the guilty person as SEEM
ingly has been made. 1t is not un-
likely that some startling facts will
be made public in connection with
the murder in the course of q few
days, as the alleged finding of the
bloody and the initiated belongings OF
the murderer and the discovery Of the
unknown man in the vicinity of the
mill race about the time the crime
was committed will undoubtedly lead
to further disclosures.

drummer, while they call the squire
slow"
In the long run. almost every life is
correctly estimated. You may be
slandered or unduly dattered for a
time; men may praise or condemn you
beyond your deserts. But, in the
stretch Of years you will be estimated
not by what the tongue of detraction
or the voice of adulation says, but by
the aggregate and output of your own
character.
And so God will measure you. He
judges righteous judgments. The pious
mouthings of sanctimonious speech
may deceive men as to ones real re-
ligious character, but it wins no praise
from Christ. He spoke with scant re-
spectN of those who constantly cry
''Lord,\ Lord; it is to be questioned
whether the loose and light use of the
sacred words of religion is not as great
profanity as the coarse cursing Of the
creature of the gutter. The danger OF
substituting a stereotyped religiosity
for q modest. vital and fruitful Chris
tianity is ever present with even the
sfncerest disciples. Jesus himself sug-
gests the dread possibility of those
who profess most religion being cast
out from his presence. The founda-
ton of endurance in two worlds is not
repetition Of, but obedience to the will
of the Lord.
