pit of First Christian Church In
This City Goes Insane While
Preaching at Bellingham, Wash
ington-Would Give Congregation
personal Electricity"

Rev. N H. Brooks, former pastor
of the Christian church, in this city,
has gone insane at Bellingham
Wash, where he has been occupying
the pulpit of the Christian church. He
served as pastor of the Pendleton
church several years ago and was sue
ceeded by Rev. Victor Doris.
While here Rev. Brooks was a very
active churchman and had many local
friends inside and outside his church.
These regret the news of his misfor-
tune.
The following press dispatch tells
of his affliction:
Bellingham, Wash, Nov. 23.-Af-
flicted with paranoia in its acute
stage, Rev. Nathan II. Brooks, pas
tor of the First Christian church OF
this city, went suddenly insane in the
pulpit last Sunday and endeavored to
force his congregation to form a cir
Gle, join hands and receive from him
current of personal electricity"
The pastor labored under the hall
lucination that he possessed the pow
OF generating within himself a cur
rent of wonderful curative powers,
which he could transmit in the same
way in which an electrical current is
sent through a complete circuit. Ex-
periments in electricity, which Rev.
Mr.. Brooks had been conducting while
his condition was growing steadily
worse, are thought to be responsible
for the queer belief held by him.
The facts in the case became known
only today, having been kept secret
b! the congregation. The pastor has
been taken to the home of friends.
His case is considered hopeless, as
the physicians state that his malady
is incurable and that he is in the last
stages of mental alteration.
Before being put under restraint
the pastor repeated his attempts to
perform the strange experiment in
at a funeral service held
the same afternoon. He is also said
to have invited the mourners at the
funeral to Come with him and dis
cover the center of the universe"
Members of the congregation de-
clare that the paranoia which has at
last broken out in violent form has
affected Rev. Mr.. Brooks mind for
several months, and that its effects
have been shown in his topsy-turvy !

Lester Means, Of last years high
school graduating class, played CEN
ter on the U. of o. football team In
IT'S game with o. A. C. Saturday. He
filled his position we'll and is ranked
as one of the strong players on the
university team although a new man
in the school.
The final score In the game Satur-
day was s to 0, in favor of the U. OF
o. Two place kicks were made by
Moullen, captain of the U. of o. eleven
and these netted the points made by
his team. Though o. A. C. made six
tries at place kicks none of them
were successful.
Three-fourths of the game Satur-
, day was devoted to punting battle
between Wolfe of o. A. c., and Clark,
fullback for U. of o. The following
summary of the game shows some-
thing Of the playing:
Wolfe of Oregon Agricultural col
lege, punted 81 times for a grand
total of 1920 yards and an average
OF 81 11-27 yards.
Clarke of Oregon, punted 81 times
for a grand total OF 134O yards and
an average of 36 S-37.
Moulen tried six place kicks, two
of which, one from the six-yard line
and the other from the 3O-yard line,
were successful. One failure was
from a free kick.
Wolfe and Keck tried six place
kicks, four of them from free kicks,
none of which was successful.
The Agrics tried two forwad passes
neither of which was successful, one
being caught by Eugene player and
the other touching the ground before
being caught.
Moullen kicked off for So yards.
Wolfe kicked off three times, once
over the line and twice for so yards.
Oregon was penallzed four times
for a total of 35 yards.
Agricultural college was penalized
two times for a total of 20 yards.
Oregon had first down 40 times and
advanced the ball 81 yards from
scrlmmage.
o. A. C. had first down 81 times
and advanced the ball so yards from
scrimmage.

In Portland. Thousands of students
and former students were In the city
to see the game and enthusiasm ran
high. o. A. c. students greatly out

though not upon the gridiron.
According to those who have seen
the respective teams play earlier in
The season the o. A. c. eleven was not |

youngest member of the family as a

Intcrscholastic Conference.
DR.. Lytle wants an interscholastic
conference to assume control of the
games, and arrange such a schedule
as would make it possible for the
championship of eastern and west
ern Oregon to meet in a post-season
game, which will give a rightful title
to the states championship.
Such a conference would once and
for all establish the four year rule
among the schools OF the state, would
eliminate any hint Of irregularities in
the choice of players and would put
interscholastic football upon the same
plane as that established by the col
leges of the state.
As 1t stands in the western part of
the state: West High beat Columbia
by a decisive score; Hill beat Column
bia narrowly, as also West High,
thus having the claim to the cham
pionship in that section. However
the victory over Columbia was to
S, the difference Of a goal kick, so
that if Pendleton defeats the visitors
on Thanksgiving. the local team will
have a good claim to the state cham
pionship so far as the western teams
are concerned-and the home teams
also, for while the game at Baker
was a tie, the Pendleton eleven, be-
ing the visitors, and smade what the
experts consider the better showing
of the two teams, and the compara-
tive showings of Baker and Pendleton
at La Grande, leave little doubt that
the locals have much the better of the
two aggregations.
Pendleton Has Best Team.
In fact, Pendleton never had a bet
ter team than this year. not even last
season, when the states champion
ship fell undoubtedly upon the
shoulders of Captain Baker and his
husky boys.
Not only would the puzzle over
states championship be solved by such
a conference as DR.. Lytle suggests,
but since the valley towns will play
the cities of the sound and western
Washington, While Pendleton gets
games with Walla Walla, and may
possibly reach Spokane, and Baker
plays Ontario, Caldwell and Boise, as
conditions demand, a relative strength
of the leading teams Of the northwest
could thus be secured.

LAST OF THE PASCAG0ULAS.
An indian Legend From the Shores Of
the Gulf Of Mexico.


An Indian legend of the Pascagoulas
Is told by tie fishermen and oyster
men down OH the shores of the gulf
of Mexico.
A point reaches out into the gulf
near the mouth Of the Pascagoula riv-
er. The pine trees ON II come almost
to the waters edge. and between lies
strip of white sand; across marsh,
a border of light green swaying and
rustlng grasses and beyond gray
cypress swamp the hanging moss of
the trees swaying In the wind. To the
south the blue waters of the gulf
stretch away, with little waves lap
ping on the chalk white clam shells
of the shore.
There in the evening during the
short twilight one hears soft music, as
If it were the notes OF violin, insist
ent, changing, sweet 1t is the song of
the Pascagoulas.
Long years before the Pascagoula
Indians had lived upon this point. The
white men, the Spanlards, came in
numbers, and with them the hostile
warriors of other tribes, to make war
and to drive the Pascagoulas out of the
country Coming from the inland, the
enemy took away all chance Of fight
and hedged them in on the point The
Pascagoulas fought for days and
nights in the dark pine woods against
outnumbering foes. Then they saw
that all was useless. that they could
not overcome, and starvation stared
them in the face.
The Pascagoulas called council Of
the tribe and talked long together. To
give themselves up meant lives of
slavery or death, and TO fight to the
last man was to leave the women and
children TO the mercy of the white
men and their allies.
The next morning the Pascagoulas
put on all their paint and trappings
and burned their wigwams. The men,
women and children slowly, deliber-
ately, unflinchingly backed step by
step into the water behind them, sing
ing. Not one faltered. They died with
their faces toward their enemies,
brave and free. and now in the even
ing when the wind blows over the
marshes the pines and grasses sing
the song of the Pascagoulas.-New

,luMBLED THE PRINCESS.
Fall Of q pusky Beauty From the
South Sea Islands.

One night John Sharp Williams,
while a student at Heidelberg Ger
many, was in attendance upon a swell
function at which the guest of honor
was a dark skinned princess alleged
to hall from one of the south sea is
lands. This princess was magnificent
ly bedecked and bejeweled, and her
warm olive complexion. set off by a
mass of black. kinky hair, full red
lips, snow white teeth and black,
sparkling eyes, made her the center
of the function. The masculine-like
Germans swarmed about her like bees
around a honeysuckle vine. and even
the charm of her manner or the beauty
of her person.
John Sharp was introduced, of
course, and Immediately upon obtain
ing near view of the princess (O his
southern instincts rose TO the surface
and his southern blood began to boil.
Watching his opportunity. he managed
to get to the beauty's elbow. Then, re-
ducing his voice to low, but perfect
ly audible key, he sent into her star
tied ears this alarming query:
''Look here, niger, where did you
come from?'
Panic stricken and with all her self
possession scattered, the alleged prin-
cess turned upon her interrogation as
she heard the familiar intonation of
the southerner and looked into his I'M
relenting face. Then she stammered:
''Fum South Caroliny, boss, but for
de Lawds sake don't tell it."
Whether John Sharp respected the
pitiful plea Of southern negress in
faraway land and permitted her to
continue her bold imposition upon the
credulous Germans the story does not
tell. But the fact remains that the
princess" realized that she was in the
presence of one who, from intimate
knowledge of her race, had OWNED
her African origin, and she could only
throw herself ON his mercy.-Biloxi

APPROPRIATIONS FOR SCHOOLS
Those Of First Class to Receive $72o,
Others $40 and $3.50.

According to the appropriation rate
fixed by the State Department Of Pub
lie Instruction, high schools OF the first
class will receive s72O from the state,
second class $54O, and third class $500.
Borough high schools will receive
somewhat more, than half these
amounts, according to the respective
classes, schools OF the first class getting
$3.50. second class, 1887 so, third class,
1925.
The maximum amount which may be
appropriated to schools of the first
class either In townships or boroughs
under the law is $500, second class,
$3.50, third class, s40O.
The last legislature appropriated
$l37 800 for township high schools, and
appropriated the same amount for
borough high schools. The Depart
ment of Public Instruction, however,
finds that the appropriations are not
sufficient to give each school the max
imum sum allowed by law, and the pro
rata percentage has been fixed In each
case.
The several high schools are now
being classified and distribution of the
appropriations will be started as soon
as the classifications are finished 1t
has been found by the high school in
spectors that some of the schools are
not entitled to position in the class
claimed by them, and these differences
are being Strengthened out.
Schools of the first class, either town
ship or borough, are those that have
a bona fide four year course above the
grammar grade, second class, those
with three year course, and third
class those with two-year course.

The Bastille as a prison was appar-

How, then, did these prisoners live?
