DELIBERATE SUICIDE.
Why II Should Excite More Horror
Than Any Other Murder.

Why II Should Excite More Horror
Than Any Other Murder.
As to its moral aspects, suicide is
manifestly forbidden by the divine
law. One of the commandments Of the
Decalogue declares, Thou shalt not
kill" To make the law as compre-
henslve as possible 1t Is not said,
'Thou shalt not kill thy nelghbor,"
which qualifying phrase Is employed
in some Of the other commandments
us, for instance, "Thou shalt not bear
false witness against they neighbour"
Thou shalt not covet thy nelghbor's
house" The prohibition to kill is there
fore absolute. 1t forbids the taking of
human life, whether by suicide or
homicide.
There is another commandment
which says, Thou shalt love thy
neighbor as thyself" Now, the love
which we owe to our neighbor forbids
us to slay him, and therefore the love
which we owe to ourselves forblds US
to compass our own death. If the law
allowed us 10 XIII ourselves, Wnlle Tor
bidding us to kill our neighbor, our
love for our neighbor would not be
equal, but superior. to our love for our
selves.
Nay, hold that suicide is a more re-
voting sin than the killing Of another.
The closer the ties of relationship be-
tween the murderer and his victim the
more atrocious is the crime. In the
estimation of mankind, a parriclde, or
matricide, or fratricide, or uxoriclde, Is
more shocking criminal than an ordi-
nary homicide. And as man has
more intimate relations to himself
than to parent or brother or wife, his
deliberate self destruction should ex-
cite more horror than the murder Of a
parent, brother or wife.-Cardinal Glib
bons In Century.

STRUCK OIL IN NEZ PIERCE.
Immense Flow OF Petroleum Found
While Boring for Water I'm Nez
Perce County, Idaho.

What is perhaps a permanent flow
of oil has been struck on a farm in
Nez Perce county, Idaho. For years
oil experts have prospected in various
parts of the inland empire, but have
found no permanent flow of oil, until
a well drill penetrated this flow yes
terday.
A special from Lewiston to the Or
egon Daily Journal says of the import
ant discovery:
Nez Perce Is wildly excited over the
discovery Of an oil gusher on the E. G..
Casson place, two miles from town, at
o'clock yesterday afternoon and
hundreds of people viewed the phe-
nomenon today and yesterday. A
steady stream of oil is pouring from
hillside and efforts are beng made
to control the flow. All last night men
worked casing up the opening so that
the valuable fluid, which Is flowing at
the rate Of 80 gallons per minute,
can be saved.
Petroleum was accidentally struck
while S. p. Connor was drilling a well
for water. He had reached depth
of 220 feet with no sign Of water when
the drill suddenly sank in a subterra-
mean cavity. Immediately the bitumi-
nous liquid began oozing from the
ground and when the bit was removed
| it spouted forth to the height of 10
feet.
This eruption continued for one
hour. 1t then grew less forcible and
| finally subsded into a steady flow.

About seven years ago it was my
privilege TO hear him at his best.
1t was in the little Wisconsin town
of Reedsburg, IN a park surrounded
by a double circle of farmers bug
gies and packed inside with men, wo-
men ana children, in holiday clothes.
La Toilette spoke from the grand
stand, shaded from the sun by the
branches of a tall elm. It was an
antiboss and anti-railroad speech.
La Toilette is anti-something-o or
other. To fight with words is his
food and drink. Peace and quiet are
as monotonous to La Toilette as they
aer to a stormy petrol.
1t was an afternoon in July, but
he spoke with the fire and fury of a
campmeeting revivalist. One mo-
ment both arms were raised high
above his head; the next, with both
fists clenched, he rushed upon OF
imaginary foe.
He was wildly dramatic, yet not
like a poseur. 1t was a speech of in
tense feeling, rather than one of re-
Election. Soon he was perspiring
like a stoker. Off came his collar
and tie, then his coat and then his
vest. 1t was frenzied politics. The
speech came in passionate scraps be-
tween roars of applause. Speaker
and audience acted and reacted up
on one another until the enthusiasm
becomes almost a conflagration.

Antique Persian rugs" said the rug
salesman, "are dyed with vegetable
dyes; the new ones are dyed with ami,
line dyes. There's a great difference.
Vegetable dyes are fifty or sixty times
more expensive than anillnes, and they
give a color that is literally lmperish-
able, color that keeps growing richer
and richer till the rug falls to pieces
Anllines, made out Of coal tar. look
well enough at first, but they fade.
When vegetable red or blue would be
at its best an anillne red or blue would
be nearly white. We civilized people
harmed the Chinese by introducing our
cheap opium among them, and now we
have equally harmed the Persian rug
by introducing our cheap anilines
among the rug weayers."

IT'S GROWTH-WHy.

Never has any system of healing
made such rapid progress as ha. os-
teopathy. But IS years ago 1t was
practiced by but one man. the found
er. Today over four thousand grad
uate osteopaths are scattered over the
world. When one thinks that to be
an osteopath is not merely to adopt
fad, but that 1t requires a long and
hard course of study, much expense
and hard labor, 1t gives a seriousness
to the subject that some are not will
ling to grant.
With the field of healing abundant
ly filled with medical men, and pre-
empted by jealous legislation. that a
new system can get foothold, is
abundant evidence of solid foundation
and merit. When 1t is seen that
large percent of these four thousand
osteopaths are university and college
graduates and teachers leaving their
profession, 1t shows that osteopathy
is not fad of the idle person to dote
his mind on, but profession Of worth
and profit in which they are casting
their hopes in the struggle for ad-
vancement. An investigation of the
principles of osteopathy reveals the
why of all this. Simply that Osteo-
pathy is a LOGICAL AND EXPLAIN
ABLE SYSTEM. 1t depends upon
none of the mysterious and hidden
principles of medicine, Christian sci
ence or magnetism, requires for its
acceptance none of the credulity or su-
perstition of medicine, nor the blind
confidence in the ability of the doc
tor. But based upon the plain me-
chanical principle, teaching that with
every part of the body in its correct
position the forces that run the body,
the nerve force and blood supply will
be furnished each organ in the prop
er amount so that each will do its
part as designed; and that when
some part fails to work properly It's
force is deranged by some obstruction
which must be found and removed.
Just as when a watch or other piece
of machinery Is out of order. some
thing is obstructing the power from
the handspring to the hands. These
are principles that all can see and
understand. This is why osteopathy
has made such rapid progress.

BEECHER'S ONLY POEM.
The Verses Were Always Kept Sacred
by Mrs. Beecher.

1t was related by Mrs. Henry Ward
Beecher that during their courtshlp Mr..
Beecher once dropped into poetry
and wrote few lines of verse teeming
with affection for his sweetheart. But
the verses were always kept sacred by
Mrs. Beecher, and nothing could win
them from her. One day Mr.. and Mrs.
Beecher were in the office Of Robert
Bonner, the publisher.
why don't you write poem, Beech
err" said Mr.. Bonner.
"He did once" said Mrs. Beecher.
"Recite 1t for me, won't you, Mrs.
Beecher"
But the eyes of the great preacher
were riveted on his wife, and she knew
that he meant silence.
Come" said Mr.. Bonner, "I'll give
you $4,000 If you will reclte that poem
to me-" addressing Mrs. Beecher
"Why, 1t ram quickly said Mrs
Beecher.
"Eunlce" simply said Mr.. Beecher.
And, although Robert Bonner after.
ward offered to double the sum first
offered he never got the poem from
Mrs. Beecher. 1t had been hidden
away by Mrs. Beecher and cherished
as one Of the dearest treasures her
husband left her.

RAILROADS MUST
GIVE ESTIMATES
WASHINGTON COMMISSION
REQUIRES FIGURES
Estimates of all Roads Now In Con-
struction Must BE Made for the
Use of the CommisslOn-Statlstics
Must BE Complete in Detail-Com-
mission Wants Basis.

Within 80 days the work of esti-
mating the cost of the railroad lines
in operation within Washington will
he completed, says an olympian dis
patch. Within two weeks notice is
to be served upon the railroads that
a public hearing will be held by the
State Railroad commission to legal
ly fix the valuations of the rail-
road lines for rate-making purposes.
and a hearing will be set down as
soon thereafter as possible.
This announcement was made at
Seattle, according to the Times by
Halbert p. Gillette, the New York
engineer who was retained at a SAL
ary OF $1,000 a month to estimate the
cost Of reproducing every line in the
state. Gillette says his work is prac-
t!cally completed and that the rail-
road commission is justified in call
ing its public program within two
weeks.
The program of the railroad COM
mission is to establish the cost of re-
producing each railroad system, and
to use these figures as the basis for
future rate-making. Hearings will
be given and the railroads are to be
permitted to introduce testimony
| controverting the railroad commits
sion's testimony. If the findings of
the commission are unsatisfactory to
the railt Dads they will have the priv
| ilege to appeal to the courts.
Must Ascertain Costs.
1t has been held frequently by the
courts that the railroads are en-
titled to earn n fair return upon the
valuation of their property. Until
this valuation is found, the railroad
commission has no basis upon which
to work in ascertaining the rate that
can be legally fixed in this state.
The commission must first esti-
matc the recenues due on account of
investment and then figure In the
curts Of operation, maintenance and
legitimate extensions, or the sinking
fund that should be maintained.
The last legislature authorized the
commission to proceed with its pro-
gram and to hold the hearings plan
ned. part of the $4,000 appro-
prition made for the commission was
set aside for the purpose of complet-
ing this inquiry, which has already
cost approximately 100000.
Northern Pacific officials antici-
pated a similar action on the part
OF the Interstate Commerce commits
sion, and filed with the commission a
statement showing the present valu-
alton of the railroads property is
$500, 100000. Whether or not these
figures will be introduced on behalf

The demands embodied in this pc

Issuance Of interchangeable 5000

Flat rate of cents per mile.
No Rebates.
No more coupon scrip books.
