STAMPEDE OF CHILDREN.

CHICAGO, April 25. Twelve hum
dred pupils Of the Edward Jenner
Public School fed panic stricken TO
the streets yesterday when report
spread through the building that three
members OF the BLACK Hand Society
had placed nitro glycerine bomb in
the basement which was timed to go
off at two o'clock Although II
teachers in the Is rooms made every
effort to form fire drill lines and to
quiet the frantic children they rushed
pell nell down the three flights Of
stairs trampling over one another in
their frenzy to get out Of the school
house. Several Of the smaller child
rem narrowly escaped serious injury
in the rush for the doors leading to
the streets
Parents who hurried to the school
house to rescue their children from
the buildings added to the confusion.
1t was only through the efforts Of the
teachers and the bravery Of engineer
Frank Smith and Janitor Leonard
Moore, who stood at the main en-
trance Of the building picking up
those who were knocked down in the
rush for exits that no one was injured
fatally in the panic.
Four hours after the building had
been cleared Of the boys and girls
frightened parents crowded the
streets around the structure awaiting
for news concerning the explosion
and threatening vengence on the
Black Hand Society Not until as
squads Of police arrived in response tc
cali Of Principal Lane was Il
crowd dispersed.

Reducing the Waist Line in Both
Sexes.

Men and women with heavy, pen
dulous abdomens who wish to reduce
them quickly and safely are usually
advised to 60 in for certain tiresome
twisting and bending exercises that,
as matter of fact. they should care
fully avoid as being dangerous rather
than beneficial.
A far better plan is to use the fol-
lowing three simple household reme-
dies which can be obtained of any
druggist at small cost, viz: oz. Mar
mola, ! OF. Fluid Extract Cascara
Aromatic, and 81 ozs. Syrup Simplex.
These are mixed together at home and
taken a teaspoonful after meals and
at bedtime.
These three make mixture that IS
not only perfectly harmless, but ac-
tually quite beneficial to the system.
regulating the digestion, purifying the
blood, and clearing the complexion Of
pimples and blotches. It's chief and
surprising benefit is in the. rapid.
natural manner in which it reduces
the fat person to the normal, beauti-
ful lines Of fine physique, it having
been known to cause the reabsorption
Of as much as pound Of fat day.
Moreover, II does it symmetrically, 30
that no wrinkles or fiabby skin are
left behind. Strange to say neither
dieting nor exercise are advised when
this simple home recipe is being used,
for it will produce results independ-
emily Of either and so the patient Is
instructed to eat whatever he or she
fancies and is also permitted to take
things easy.

assembled teachers Of the State who
had been in attendance upon the
clatsop county institute 10 the spc-
|cihc issres and interests of the school
officers meeting, which was presided
over by State Superintendent J. II.
Ackcrman. The day was fruitful and
crammcd with elements Of instruction
and concern with which men and
women in that official relation have
most 10 do, and nothing was lost Of
the advantage offered.
Professor Alderman dealt with the
subject of "1hc Greatest Present
Needs Of the countS School, and
after clearly stating his deductions,
took part ii an elaborate discussion
with his colleagues, Professors Ack-
erman, Ahlers and Moore
"The Relation Of the School Board
to the Teacher was presented by
Prof. Herman Ahlcrs. and his con-
clusions were ordered Reproduced in
the Oregon Teachers Monthly, by
those who fel, tha; il deserved wider
notice.
The subject Of Keeping Good
Teachers" was presented and handled
by Mr.. Ackcrman in his usual thor
ough and entertaining way, and was
formally discussed by Thomas Bush,
and Superintendent Clarke, Of this
county, Other pertinent and engross-
ing matters were dealt with during
the hours Of the session, all Of which
were treated exhaustively and inter-
estingly; and the session closed with
the unanimous conviction that il had
been Of decided benefit to all present,
and to schools OF the State as well. as
all such congresses are.
Az meeting OF the Clatsop County
School Board Convention, held in
Astoria on Saturday April rs, 2oOS.
the following resolution was intro
duced and adopted by a unanimous
vote:
Whereas. There has been much
difficulty in the past in keeping cor
rect records OF the receipts and dis
bursements OF the various school
districts Of the State OF Oregon by
the various clerks of said districts,
and. whereas, the county treasurer is
much more competent to keep such
accounts,

Astoria, on Saturday, April rs, 1908,
do hereby memoriaiize the Legisla-
ture OF the State of Oregon, which is
to convene in January. 1909, to pass
a law relieving the school district
clerks in districts Of the second and
third class from being custodians Of
the district funds and making the
county treasurer the custodian Of all
such funds.
And be il further resolved, That

THINGS ARE MOVING
STEADILY
SALOON QUESTION NOW Be
FORE THE PEOPLE IN A FAIR
WAY or SUCCESSFUL AD-
JUSTMENT AT AN EARLY
DAY.

1 While tie joint conference plans,
land joint committee work, mapped
OUT BY the Business Men and the
Civic League, of this city, looking 10
IAN agreement Al between tie local
Ioptionists and the saloonmen, pro-
iyiding for the closing Of the saloons
on Sunday, and the withdrawal Of the
local option petitions, for both "wct'
land dry" campaigns, have all fallen
to the ground because the saloonmen
could not accept all four Of the pro-
lposals submitted by the Civic League,
there II yet very fair chance that
the issues may be amicably adjusted,
and considerable gained Tor all con
cerncd, il there is no dictatorial work
done by either side for few days.
The saloonmen have held meet
ing Of their own, and il is reported
they have entered into a specific
agreement and signihed their purpose
10 see to ii that those refusing to
join the compact are allowed no lee
way for transcending the general
rule, without distinct trouble. And il
this attitude ID taken by them, ii is
presumed that the League people will
meet the situation by pulling down
the petitions for local option in pre-
cincts Nos 2, 3, and S; and at the
same time, the common interest will
be served by the withdrawal Of the
petitions designed to open up" pre-
cincts Nos 8 and z, this to be urged
by all parties at interest.
The terms Of the new agreement
formulated by the ,saloonmen, and
upon which they propose to stand,
have not yet been given out, as there
were number OF men in that busi-
ness yet to be seen in that relation;
but il will be made known tomorrow
and receive due publicity when ready
for It.
1t is said that petition has been
yariously signed asking the common
council Of this city to meet in special
session tomorrow night, for the ex-
press purpose OF considering and
passing an ordinance prescribing the
number Of saloons to be permitted in
this city, and fixing the district to
which the embargo applies, for a
given length of time. The details are
not yet all agreed upon; but what
ever they may be, the proposition is
in direct interest Of the city and all
factional elements now contending
for popular expression. And it is
certain the saloonmen and the local
optionists will both benefit BY the
plans afoot to hedge against an ex-
pansion OF the business.
w. Z, Schimpff stated, at this office,
last night, that he had been direct
communication with the State Brew
ers' Association at Portland, and was
qualified to make the declaration, as
coming from that particular body that
the Astoria saloonman who breaks
the Sunday closing law will be denied
the right to purchase beer from the
allied members of that association;
and further, that the Washington as
sociation Of beer men would stand
pat on the steps that may be taken by
the Oregon factors.

divine, recently paid the following
worthy tribute to the men who dig
from the hills thoir stores of precious
metals:
Il admire the miners wealth Tt is
clean. There is neither blood nor
tears OH it. 1t is acquired away from
the scheming and cut-throat CONNIE
tition that characterzes ordinary
ventures where the success of one man
often means the downfall of some
other man, or perhaps a number of
men. Nobody has been pinched, no.
body has been wrongcd The miner
who digs fortune out of the ground
has the satisfaction Of knowing that he
has not robbed a soul, even though he
becomes thousand times million
aire. The man who makes q fortune
on the board of trade or stock ex.
change, or in buildings up u gigantic
business, adds nothing to the worlds
store of available wealth. The world.
in other words, is no richer because
he is richer; he is richer because some
