a secret for purifying water and con-
WINGED several wealthy New England
ers that it was remarkable

ing stock company, capitalized for
100000, and Nixon organized it. Then
Murphy demanded $1,000 worth of
stock before he would give up his
formula for making the filters.
Nixon handed over the stock and
Murphy gave him a small tin box, in
which he said was the formula. Then,
according to Nixon, Murphy went out
and sold the greater portion of his
stock. ...-.
Nixon was unsuspicious until Muir
ply was arrested on the charge of be-
ing a fugitive from justice from this
state. Then Nixon opened the tin box.

dicted by the federal grand iury which
was in session in Portland last April
for conspiracy to defraud the govern.
ment out of its public lands in Curry
county. The men resisted extradition
wherever they could, and their cases
have gone from one court to another
for nearly a year.
kenney, Gillelen, w. j. Gould and
David NJ. Goodwin, the other Los An
geles men indicted with Hedderly and
Hines have carried their cases to the
United States supreme court on writ
of habeas corpus proceedings. and Mr..
Bristol is now engaged in preparing
briefs in these cases, which he will
submit to that court
The successful conclusion of the gov
ernments cases against Hedderly and
Hines in securing their removal to
Oregon for trial is considered a great
victory, and the belief is now gener-
ally expressed that Mr. Bristol will be
successful in winning the habeas cor
pus cases against the other defendants
in the supreme court.
Hedderly and Hines will arrive in
Portland Monday. They cannot ap-
peal further in the removal cases be-
cause the time limit has expired. and

GARBAGE FOR SCHOOLING
Little Tot in Tatters Makes a Des
perate Attempt to Learn.

DETROIT, Mich Feb. 1S.-Determ-
at the Bellevue school in spite of the
fact that he was forced to exc out a
miserable existence by picking scraps
from garbage pals in alleys. the con-
dition of 7-year-old Eddie Sheath. who
lives with his parents at SO Medium
avenue. became so deplorable that the
teachers of that institution finally re-
ported the case to Agent James F. Hill
of the society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Children.
While the investigation started at
once by Mr.. Hill shows that the most
deplorable conditions exist in the lads
home, the fault, it is believed, lies with
the parents. For days past the child
has been attending the school in tat
tiers, and during the frigid weather
it has been necessary for the corps of
teachers at the Bellevue school to pro-
vide him with warm clothing.
They even have fed the lad at school
Brought up in miserable surroundings,
the little fellow is absolutely without
personal pride. Mr.. Hill visited the
home on Medium avenue and found
the mother in worse state of filth than
the child.
The father. it is declared, does little
work and pays little attention to his
offspring.

Whitman is smilingly content over the
prospect.
This confidence is not injured by
the news which comes from Forest
Grove. Rasmussen. the great deba-
ter. who led the Webfoot orators last
wear in the debate with Whitman has
graduated from school as has Fletcher
the winning first speaker. Peters, the
remaining debater of last years team,
is leader of the team which will come
up here this week.
This will be the only intercollegiate
debate held in Walla Walla this year
and this adds to the interest from the
student standpoint.
Whitman will defend the doctrine of
having every city own and operate it's
street car lines; while Pacific will let
private individuals do the operating.
The question is an evenly balanced
one and the contest promises to be
close even if Whitman has the stronger
team.
