WHAT OF
NORMAL
SCHOOLS?
Legislature Again Called
Upon TO Adjust Burning
Issue

What will be the result of the final
adjudication OF the normal school
question is the burning issue which
has been passed uD to the present
session OF the legislature to solve.
Numerous bills OF divers character
have already been presented for the
consideration OF the solons, each hav
ing a distinct and separate proposed
solution, and II would seem TO be up
to the committee on education to de-
termine what is the better course TO
pursue in the premises.
Two bills introduced provide for
cutting down the number OF schools
TO two. one In eastern Oregon and
the other In western Oregon: another
would reduce the number to one:
another TO abolish the system alto
gether, while another Is I'm course OF
drafting which contemplates reduc.
Ing the number OF schools TO two and
having one board OF regents for the
two institutions TO be composed OF
the governor, superintendent and at
torney general and two appolntlye
offices. one OF these bills will be
presented to both branches OF the leg
islaturo today.
II the number OF schools is reduced
TO two and two OF the schools abol-
lshed II Is pretty certain that the
Weston normal. being the only 10.
Gated In eastern Oregon will be re-
tained and then Il will remain for
the friends OF the Monmouth, Ash |

MORGAN'S CHERRY.
Canes to Be Made of Tree Under Which
He Surrendered.

John II. Morgans surrender took
place about seven miles south of New
Lisbon, O., under cherry tree, which
is a few hundred yards from the farm
house of John Hepner, says the Toledo
Blade. Morgan was crossing from the
Steubenville to the Wellsyille roads
when intercepted.
The famous old tree under which
the Confederate raider surrendered to
General Shackelford is to be cut into
memorial walking canes under direc-
tion of Starr post, G. A. r., of Lisbon
and sold the proceeds to be applied to-
ward the cost of a county q. A. K.
memorial building in Lisbon.
The old tree was struck by lightning
three years ago and killed, and some
step is necessary to save the rapidly
decaying wood.

Road Building Along the Sea-
Coast.

The Newark Star thinks that improv-
ed road building on the sea coast OF
South Jersey may outstrip trolley en-
terprise. and says: "a State-alded
boulevard is about to be built between
Tuckahoe and Beesley's Point, and
from there to Ocean City, connecting
that resort with the mainland. A troll
lev road is also to connect Ocean CITY,
with Longport and Atlantic City. "A
State-aided road was recently built be
tween Cape May and Holly Beach,
Wildwood and Anglesea. Between the
latter place and Ocean City is a stretch
of meadows intersected with inlets ana
sounds that will soon be bridged ior
road way and trolley, making direc'
communication between Atlantic CITY
and Cape May. This will greatly en-
hance the charms of the southern coas'
for visitors and add immensely to III

WHAT RUSSIA DID FOR US.
An Alleged Authentic Bit of Unwritten
History

Interest in the Alaska Yukon-Pacific
exposition, which will be held at Seat
tie in 1909 to exploit the territory, mas
brought to light an old bit of secret
history of the times Of the civil war.
1t now appears from the story OF an
old sailor who fought under Admiral
Farragut that the purchase OF Alaska
from Russian in 1861 for l2OO,O00 by
William H Seward. sc setary OF state
was not only mase to Please Russia
and to express the thanks OF the Unit
ed States for Ilessiu's friendship for
the north by taxing from the car at
a high figure Whist he thoaght was a
bit of useless property. bat was also
part of deeply laii lit Of the dipio-
macy of those stirring times. In fact, IL
would look now as II the purchase OF
Alaska were portion Of the price that
the United States paid Russia for keep
ing 100000 men at Cronstadt during
the latter years of the war in order to
have them available for Americas use
and for embarkation on active service
as an ally of the north did Great Brit
ain openly espouse the cause OF the
Confederacy.
And another portion of the service
rendered by Russia for the Alaskan
purchase price was the lending OF 5Oo
of her best sailors for service In the
American feet, with Russian officers
to translate the orders of the Amerl-
can commanders. These men, accord
ing to the story of the old sailor
fought for some months under Farra-
gut. made brilliant showing and final
ly were shipped back to their native
shore in the same surreptitious manner
that marked their arrival.
The story is given in the Portland
Oregonian of Jan. 13 last The writer
Gabriel Justus Dahlgren, relates thal
he got the story from a resident OF
Salem, Ore, one Thomas Thompson,
we'll known sailor of that place.

THE YOUTH, BEING DEAF, MADE NJ nHrhA.
and his father and the family had re-
tired. The only creature on the old
place that seemed to be awake was
dog. AS the soldier entered the gate
of the grounds the dog began barking.
The sound aroused the owner of the
manor. The country was overrun at
the time with stragglers, some or
whom had not hesitated to commit
burglary. The father of the boy arose.
He stood In his doorway with his shot
gun and challenged the approaching
stranger, as he supposed.
''The young man, being deaf, made no
reply. but continued on his way. The
man in the doorway raised his gun
and fred. The stranger fell dead.
The father summoned his family and
the few remaining servants of the
plantation. An investigation was held,
and the tragic truth was revealed.
'oThe father, of course, was inconsol-
able. He returned to his house, While
the servants carried the lifeless form
of his boy to the home that had been
awaiting his coming The next day
the invited guests began to arrive. The
father had given orders that the trag-
edy should not be mentioned until he
himself told it.
"I do not know what explanation was
made to the guests as to the absence
of him whom they were to honor, but
after the repast they were told, and
then they filed past the dead. The
body had been wrapped in the flag for
which the brave young man had
fought. The community was used 70
funerals. Every private burial ground
had grave made by the unhappy war,
but no funeral like this had ever tax
en- place in the vicinity. and I doubt II
II ever had counterpart"

A story of General Lee.

When the great war was over and
defeat had come to the armies Lee had
led, he was visiting the house OF a
friend in Richmond. With that love or
children that always characterized
him. the old hero took upon his knee
a fair haired boy. The proud mother,
to please her guest, asked the child,
"Who is General Lee?" Parrotlike the
expected answer came, "The great Vir-
ginian who was a patriot, true to his
native state" And then came the ques-
ton, "Who is General Scott?" and the
reply, "a Virginian who was traitor
to his country"
Putting down the child and turning
to the mother, the general said: Mad
am. you should not teach your child
such lessons. | will not listen to such
talk. General Scott is not traitor.
He was true to his convictions of duty.

TAGS For Soldiers.

Acting upon the recommendation of
Surgeon General O'Reilly. Acting Sec
retary of War Oliver recently ordered
that hereafter Identification tags OF
aluminium the size of silver half dol
lar stamped with the name, company,
regiment,or corps of the wearer be sus-
pended from the neck of every officer
and soldier underneath the clothing by
a cord or thong. These badges are to
be issued gratuitously to enlisted men
and at cost price to officers. General
Barry, acting chief Of staff, states that
there can be no question about the
great Importance of such badges, as is
demonstrated by the thousands of
graves of unidentified dead of the civil
war.

after the great conflict. Mrs.
Chestnut mentions it in her "Diary
From Dixie" and man who heard it
at first hand tells 1t as follows in the
New York Sun:
.'The soldier had enlisted in Georgia
from his home, where his father re-
mained undisturbed during the strug-
gle. The young man had fought through
the war without scratch, save q
slight wound which had left him
partially deaf. This affliction he had
never referred to in any of his letters.
"After the surrender he communi-
Gated with his father, saying he would
reach home on or about a certain date.
Travel then was uncertain, and he was
not positive as to when he would ar
rive. His father prepared to receive
him. Believing that his son would
come as promised, he arranged
spread such as the conditions of his
surroundings at that time would per-
nit. He had brought out his best
plates that had been secreted for q
long time, and with gold which had
been exhumed he bought such delica-
cies and substantials as the southern
market at that time afforded. -

HOW TOWNS PROSPER
Must Be Enterprising or They
VIII Go Back

The Newark News recently printed
the following:
"Long Branch and Cape May, the
two Oldest summer resorts on the New
Jersey coast, have been experiencing
slow decay for years. Long Branch
was once the mecca of fashionable friv-
olity. Cape May was the resort of a
quieter class of people, mostly from
their prime when Atlantic City was a
barren waste of sand, and Asbury Park
a hamlet hardly known on the map.
Lack of enterprise and other causes,
together with the enterprise that built
up Atlantic City and Asbury Park,
served to depopulate Long Branch and
Cape May of their visitors and make
their once crowded hotels Improbable.
This year the three largest hotels at
Cape May are not leased and will not
be .pened, but the new and vigor-
oE*-enterprise that has invaded the
place is effeoting transformation that
in few years will make Cape May a
formidable rival of Atlantic City. Long
Branch is waking up too. The spirit
of improvement SO long dead has re-
vived. There must be local enterprise
to attract outside capital.n
The above article serves to call atten
tion to the way Wildwood has also
grown within ten or fifteen years. Sit
uated in sight of Cape May, more diff
ficult of access when its growth began,
it was managed by men who from the
first required that the streets be kept in
good order, free from weeds and trash
and good sidewalks were demanded of
every property owner. While Cape
May was groaning over loss of business
the enterprise displayed at Wild wood
brought that town to the front and
when Wild woods boarding houses were
overcrowded, Cape May had lots of
spare room.
We do not call attention to these two
towns to speak evil of Cape May, but
the growth of Wildwood was due almost
entirely to the enterprise displayed in
making the place inviting. Cape May
had just as many natural advantages as
Wildwood.
1t would not be amiss for the people

Deneen can maintain his position will

this action on the part of Senator Ev-
ans gives color to the suspicion that
the road owes the money. that it fears
q contest in the courts and that it is
willing to resort to all sorts of lodges
in order to prevent the case coming
to trial. Its very action. therefore.
casts suspicion on the motives of the
road and its managers and gives addi-
tional strength TO the governors posi-

Caring for the Veterans.

Prospects that the service pension
act will pass the house at this session
are said to be excellent. The measure
went through the senate with celer-
ity which Indicated that sentiment i'll
that body was strongly in favor of it,
and the division of congress which
comes before the people for election
every two years is described as not
likely TO refuse its assent to 4 meas
IRE which will doubtless have the APP
proval of some hundreds OF thousands
OF old soldiers.
The way for il, in fact. was paved
by President Roosevelt when he is
sued his famous order No. IS which
made every veteran who had reached
q certain age pensionable on account
Of presumed disability. What the eX-
listing bill does IS 10 carry this princi-
pie a little further by increasing the
payments to all hOnOrably discharged
veterans who served in either the
Mexican war or the civil war. and who
now having reached the age of 60. are
in receipt of pension of less than Sl2
per month. This figure is fixed at the
minimum standard for pensioners of
this age. When they reach 20 years
their pensions will be raised TO So
monthly: when they are 20. the sum
will be advanced TO $50.
This has no reference to wounds re-
ceived in action or other disabilities in
CURED while under the cOlOrs. 1t is
frankly and avowedly a pension for
service only-and il would seem TO
embOdy the final word i'll this request.
so far as general legislation is con
cerned. The increased expenditure
with respect 10 Mexican war veterans
is of course a negligible quantity.
What it will amount to in the case of
Union soldiers is in part Il matter of
guesswOrk. Commissioner of Pensions
Warner estimates that for the present
it will mean an increased annual dis
Of about fifteen million dol
lars. This implies that approximately
S153 100000 Will be paid out on ac-
count OF pensions in the next fiscal
yea.

When the Nerves
Are Played Out.

Suicide, insanity. falling sickness
paralysis. These are some of the re-
suits of WORKOUT nerves. No one would
neglect Il disease so dreadful in its re-
suits as nervous exhaustion if the dam

symptoms.
The time to begin the restoration of
the nerves by the use of DR.. y. w.
Chase's Nerve Pills is when you find
yourself unable TO sleep n nights, suf-
fering from headaches or neuralgia
pains, indigestion or weak heart action.
Loss of flesh and weight. growing
weakness and debility, a tendency to
neglect the duties OF the day, gloomy
forebOdings for the future, are other in
dications of depleted nerves.
You cannot liken DR.. a. w Chase's
Nerve Pills to any medicine you ever
