trance into the room containing the Byron
Reed collection of coins. breaking the glass
in a case OF United States money, about 2
o'clock Saturday morning.
After an inventory made Saturday morn
ing by Miss Tobitt, librarian, 1t was found
the burglar had stolen about 100 United
States coins, gold and silver, of various
denominations to the value OF $l46. So.
The coins were Of the series from 1875 to
1890. inclusive.
The burglar not only tied Petersons
hands, but also blindeolded him with a blue
silk muffier and then compelled him TO &c

his commands with a revolver. When tbs

SOUND OF GUNS IMPORTANT
Former Soldiers Say No Army Pieces We're
Heard at Brownsville.
OFFICERS WILL TEsTIFYAsTO THIS FACT
Negroes Say Krag-JOrEensOn and
Springfield Rines Make Different
Report from other Guns
Senators Interested.

WASHINGTON. Feb. s.-The Brownsville
inquiry by the senate committee on milf
tary affairs may continue at intervals for
several months. Many men for whom sub
poenas have been issued have not been
found and others are in Texas attending the
eourt-martial of the white officers OF the
discharged negro battalion.
The investigation has proceeded far
enough to convince the members OF the
committee that the only way to get at
the bottom OF the affair Is by the exam
lining of every man to see what he knows
Thus far only few members OF Companies
and d have been on the stand and no
evidence has been secured indicating that
these men were guilty Of the offenses
charged against them. 1t has been brought
out that Company c men had chance TO
secure guns through the fact that their
gun racks were broken open.
Tho featurS OF the testimony which most
interests the members Of the committee is
that all the men on the stand have said
that they would be able to distinguish the
report OF the Springfield rines or Krag-
Jorgensen rifles from the reports OF other
firearms ana most OF the witnesses have
said that they did not hear any army rifles.
The testimony OF the white officers. now
under court-martial, is being awaited on
this point. Several senators. who have de-
clared that they believe some members OF
the negro battalion were guilty OF the
shooting. now say their opinions would be
shaken If the white officers should go on
the stand and say they could not detect
reports OF Springfield or Krag guns.
Senator Foraker has said that he will get
at the bottom OF the afhair Is II should take
all summer. and II Is likely, therefore. after
the adjournment Of congress. subcommit-
tee will be named to take the testimony.

Game Saturday Drew Big Crowd
on Local Field.

In a splendid game on OAc
field Saturday afternoon, OAC
defeated Whitworth college six to
naught. The single touchdown
was made by Cady in a IS yard
run, after catching the ball dur
ing passage from one Whitworth
player to another in a forward
pass formation. The play brought
the grandstand to its feet. It
occurred about the middle of the
second halt.
The game was Whitworth's in
the first half by reason of excel
lent use of the forward pass and
quarterback kicks, both of which
were successfully worked for re-
peated gains. By use of them
Whitworth during the first half
was near enough to try a goal
from placement, both of which
failed.
The story was different in the
second half, in which OAC ap-
peared to much the best advan-
tage scoringa touchdown, and

time was called. OAC used no
tricks, relying on straight foot

was of totally different style.

She believes that life has some
serious work to do, and that the
serious work lies very closely to
the homely, everyday duties, and
that kind words cost nothing.
She is always willing to give
suggestions that will help some
less fortunate one over the bad

She is ever ready to talk about
