The tenders are being placed on the

cars were equipped with them today.

as they can be put on. There is to

tend to prevent accidents.
The eighth car was put into com

DEMAND THE REWARD MONEY
Captors Of Schwab at Estherviile, 10
viii Not Give Him Up.

Lake Benton, May l3.-Martin
Schwab, supposed to be the slayer of
John Lorenzen, has not been returned
to Lake Benton for the reason that
his captors at Estherville, Iowa, are
waiting for the reward money before
giving him up. 1t is said the money
will be sent at once. This is the
home of the county attorney, and the
examination will probably take plaN
here. The authorities are firmly con-
WINGED that Schwab is murderer. His
hurried departure Immediately after
the crime and the fact that he was
seen to have money after Lorenzen's
pockets had been looted, when he was
penniless the day before, are believed
to give room for q strong presumption
of guilt.

ROMAN GLAZE REDISCOVERED.

Consul Edward B. Walker forwards
from Burslem an extract from the
Staffordshire Sentinel, from which the
following, referring to pottery in
vention. is taken:
Our London correspondent writes.
For a long time potters have made
efforts to discover the method by
which the Romass impaired that
beautiful velvety luster to what is
known as the terra siglllata" ware,
and it is now claimed that Mr.. Karl
Fischer, of the Art Pottery, Sulzbach,
Oberpfalz Bavaria, has discovered, II
not the identical Roman process it
self, yet something which gives prac-
tically the same rich and lasting ef-
feet tt is nothing more or less than
the application of engobage in a Ii
qu,d state to pottery in a biscuit
condition. The engobage sinks into
the clay and s then polished just in
the. way that boots are polished with
patent blackng. The discovery is re-
garded as very simple. The new ter
IA sigillata" can be made in a va
riety of colors, and it resists any de-
gree of temperature. 1t has been eX-
posed to snow and heat without los
ing it's luster. Any coloring matter
may be used. An advantage of the
engobage is that varying degrees Of
polish are attainable

He spoke judiciously, but severely;

THE NATIONAL ANTHEM.

Once more complaint is being made
because the United States has no real
national emblem. Citizens who have
been abroad declare they have suffer
ed embarrassment because of this
fact.
When a bunch Of Yankees are
gathered upon a foreign strand about
all they can do is to sing Yankee
Doodle" or Dixie" America" is out
of the questln because the tune was
borrowed from England. And the
average crowd cannot sing THE Star
spangled Banner"
In the army and navy "The Star
spangled Banner" is the official an
them Of the service. Soldiers and
sailors are required to stand at at
tention when the band plays the air.
They do SO very gladly
But for a popular national anthem
Francis Scott Keys song is objected
TO. The crowd wants a catchy tune
and one that all may sing. Hence the
popularity Of Dixie and Yankee
Doodle"
Nevertheless, "The Star spangled
Banner" Is a beautiful thing and It
VII never die. It was written at a
time when Il meant something
when British guns were trying to tear
Old Glory from the ramparts Of Fort
McHenry. Every American school
boy and girl knows the history OF the !
song and because they do, they re-
gard Il with particular reverence.
Al the present time "The Star

START THE MILL.

Whoever takes the woolen mill with
the intention of operating the plant
and building up the industry can
count upon the loyal support Of the
people Of Pendleton.
Pendleton wants the mill IN opera
ton again. The people want to hear
the hum of the looms, to see the
workmen going to and from the mill
and TO see the piles of Pendleton IN
dian robes ready for shipments to
various parts of the country
This is logical place for a wooden
mill The business has made money
in the past and the mill would be run
ming now had men who desired to Sc
cure the mill been financially able to
swing the proposition.
At this time several people would
like to secure the mill. The Bishops
Of Salem are interested and one of
them is here today for the purpose
of consulting with local people upon
the subject Other parties are also
anxious to secure the mill.
Out Of all of this surely something
good is going to result. Someone is
going to take the mill and build it up.
The people of Pendleton will not al
low the mill taken away.
Who gets the mill is not a matter
of great Importance, so long as COM
petent management is assured. If the
Bishops get the mill it will no doubt
be operated successfully. The Bish-
ops are large manufacturers and be-
cause Of this fact their efforts to get
the Pendleton mill are especially
pleasing.
That these men, or someone else,
will secure the mill in the near future
is the common prayer Of the business
men OF Pendleton.

TIT FOR TAT.

The captain Of schooner is noted
for his wit, and on every occasion
that offers he looses his shafts OF
humor, to the chagrin and embarrass-
ment of its target. Sooner or later
the stinger gets stung, and on one
occasion. when about two days out
from New York, the captain ap-
preached a group of sailors who were
washing the forward deck, and singl-
ing out big, raw-boned Irishman
who was experiencing his first taste
OF sailors life, he gravely asked
"Can you steer the mainmast down
the forecastle stairs?"

TIPPING.

Let it be hoped that the interstate
commerce commission will do some
thing towards abolishing tipping. This
evil as it exists in the Pullman SER
vice is now being Investigated.
Yesterday the general manager of
the Pullman company testified before
the interstate commerce commission
upon the subject. He said that tip
ping grows out of the selfishness of
travellers who desire to get something
better than their fellows and are will
ing to pay for it.
But this is not all of the story.
Many people tip porters and dining
car walters who merely want a
square deal They have found out
from past experience the only way
they may secure this is by bribery.
The average man does not tip
porter out of generosity. He does so
in order to get decent service and
when he gives a tip he pays out
money for something that he has
previously paid for. Because the pub
lie submits to the graft the railroad
company is enabled to secure porters
without pay.
Railroad companies would do
much towards abolishing tipping if
they would pay their porters more
and see that they render proper
service whether tipped or not.
