TWO SUCCESSFUL HIGH GRADES
Two Teachers Got Certificates With
out Examination.

In the list of teachers to whom
county certificates were granted re-
Gently, there are three who were able
to secure the certificates desired
without the formality of taking the
examinations. Under a state law a
teacher who makes a grade of S5
or higher in any subject for two sue
cessive examinations need not be test
ed upon that subject again. At the
recent examination there were two
teachers, Mrs. Florence Kelly and
Miss V. Elizabeth Hamer, who had
twice secured higher grades than that
in all of the subjects. Consequently
they secured certificates without any
examination whatever.
KYLE Mcdaniel, another teacher,
was required to take only the exami-
nation in orthography, and success
fully passed the examination upon
that subject

General Bonaparte, TO whom the pres
ident Is looking for advice as to the
governments course against the Har-
riman railroad combinations revealed
by the investigation of the interstate
commerce commission.
The control of the Southern Pacific
by the Union Pacific is considered the
most probable point of attack. There
are so many conflicting reports about
the possibility of criminal action
against E II. Hartman that no par
ticular significance can be attached
to one bit of information today to the
effect that he might be reached.
Attorney General Bonaparte today
had conferences with Frank b. Kel-

conferences Messrs. Kellogg and Nor

The taking of testimony in the suit
against the Standard will begin there

The current impression that the

Standard Oil company is strengthened
in official circles here. The govern

MANSFIELD, THE
ACTOR, IS DEAD
ILL SINCE A COLLAPSE
SEVERAL MONTHS AGO.
Difficult to Work With During His
Last Appearance on the Stage-Ap-
parently He Was Steadily Improv-
ing of Late, Up TO the Time of His
Death-Mansfield Was so Years
Old at His Death.

New London, Conn.,, Aug. 30.-Rich-
ard Mansfield, the actor, died this
morning at his summer home.
Death followed a long illness which
came after his last winters break
down at Scranton, Pa, while playing
Peer Gynt. During his last appear
ances Mansfield's eccentricities were
so accentuated that many people
could not work with him.
Mr.. Mansfield died at $50 this
morning. The direct cause was a
diseased liver, but there were many
complications. He had been around
the house since his return last week
from Saranac Lake, n. Y, but three
days ago a change for the worst start
ed.
DR.. Allen, a local physician, said
the circumstances of the case made
recovery impossible, but despite this
the actor was reported as improving
until his death, which is a great shock
to his friends.
Richard Mansfield was born in
Heligoland, May "a, 1857. His moth
er was Madame Rudersdorf, the prima
donna. At an early age Richard was
sent to England to attend school, with
the idea that he should become an
artist, But his art studies at South
Kensington were broken in upon by
failing family fortunes, and the ne
cessity of earning money in the pres
ent rather than waiting to gather 1t
in perhaps greater amounts in the fu-
ture. So, through the agency OF
friends Of his father, he set sail for
Boston, where an opening had been
made for him in a big dry goods
house. 80 s-- ala
But business was not his forte. He
spent all his leisure time In painting
pictures, which he found, moreover,
he could sell very readily. So he
threw up his mercantile job and de-
parted for London. The next seven
years in London were years of keen
disappointment to the young artist,
who had hard struggle for existence.
His ability to play and sing finally
landed him an engagement to play a
small part in one of the Gilbert and
Sullivan operas. Then he concluded
that America offered a better field
for his talents and once more he set
sail for Boston. Proceeding to New
York he made his first American ap-
pearance at the Standard theater in
that city. as Drsmez in "Three Black
Cloaks." This was in 1882. His next
venture was Nick Vedder in musica
setting of RIP Van Winkle," after
which he returned to the Gilbert ant
sullivan line and appeared as the
Lord Chancellor In "Iolantho." Il
was not, however, until several sea
sons later that he attracted any

C0CKBURN RECOMMENDED AND
FAIR SCHEME IS ELABORATED

H. NJ. Cockburn of Milton, has been
recommended by the district fair
commissioners as a suitable man for
the governor to appoint to succeed
Judge Hartman as a member of the
board. A resolution endorsing Mr..
Cockburn for the honor was passed
by the directors at their meeting yes
terday afternoon and after Judge
Hartman's resignation had been ac-
cepted. The resolution will be taken
to Portland by Judge Hartman him
self and delivered to the governor,
along with his own resignation as one
of the Third District commissioners.
In the selection of Mr.. Cockburn as
a member of the fair board a fitting
tribute was paid to the east end of
the county. While Mr.. Cockburn
personally is regarded as being n very
capable man for a position on the
board, the other commissioners were
influenced In their action by the fact
that they wished an east end man
upon the board. The fruit section
surrounding Milton and Freewater
ranks as one Of the best portions OF
the county and much is expected of
II by the fair managers. Last year
Mr.. Cockburn had charge of the ex-
hibit here and now that he is to be
a member of the board, he will be in
position to do much good for the
fair.
Following the meeting yesterday af-
ternoon the commissioners made a
visit to the fair grounds for the pur-
pose of deciding upon some problems

there. 1t was decided to remove the
large dancing platform constructed
by the Eagles CARNIVAL and the
Founh of July celebration. BY re-
moving the platform more room will
be provided for exhibit booths and
the appearance of the fair grounds
will be improved.
The palm garden will be located at
the west end of the pavilion, and will
be provided with three fountains sur
rounded by palms, geraniums and va
rious other flowers and shrubs. This
feature of the fair, II carried out on

rior.

Today DR.. c. ]. Smith. member of
the state board of health, received
word that the next meeting will be
held in this city on September 25.
The meeting was called for Pendleton
so as to have the members here dur
ing fair time and since most of the
members of the board are likewise
Elks they will probably remain for
the program of the 26th.
Space Is Going.
Today the KEGS Auto company and
the Taylor Hardware company en-
gagged space for booths at the fair.
1t is the intention of the auto compa-
ny, of which the Taylor Hardware
company are local agents. to exhibit

manufactured by them, A 10-foot
