 Years ago one Of the brightest pupils in the Normal school al south Eram- ingham, Mass, started fot tbe interior of Turkey, where, as soaBe said, she .,huIied herself in the ancient city of Ootfa, midway between the Tigfis and Euphraies rivers.

During the years l of her "burialn she has managed to establish educational and industrial 1 plants which are an amazement to the few travellers who ever penetrate to that ] remote part of the world. Among ther l things she has started four shops in the city where the Armenian orphan boys are taught Ia be carpenters, cabinet makers, smiths, tailors and shoemak- CTS. The work K done between school hours and during the evening, thus combining manual and mental train i ing after the most approved modern methods.

flee of the War Department, writes
Mr.. Bates in Lincoln and the Tele-
graph Office" was heard to remark
to Secretary Seward ''By jings, gov
ernor, we are here at last" Turn
ing to him in a reproving manner,
Mr.. Seward said: ''Mr. President,
where did you learn that inelegant
expression" Without replying to
the Secretary, Lincoln addressed the
telegraph operators, saying:
Young gentlemen, excuse me for
swearing before you. By jings,' is
swearing, for my good old mother
taught me that anything that had

One day Secretary Seward, who
was not renowned as joker, said he

had been seen to turn out in the mud
to give a colored woman a chance -

D EAD BODY
IS FOUND
Taken from the Columbia River this
Morning Near the Tom Chisholm
Place.

The body of an unknown man was
taken from the Columbia river near
the Tom Chisholm place this morn
ing. The body was seen near Che
Ian Falls yesterday and the members
of the C. & @. Company were noti-
fed to be on the lookout. Nothing
more was seen of the body till it
reached the Tom Chisholm place,
where it lodged in an eddy.
The man was dressed in a macEl-
nav coat and high boots, and from
his dress it is thought he might have
been a prospector. The body was in
an advanced state of decay, and had
probably been in the water for two
or three months.
In the absence of Coroner Saun-
ders and Prosecuting Attorney Grass,
Justice Palmer assumed the initiative
and ordered the body buried. Un-
dertaker Hall took charge and buried
the unfortunate man this morning.

Is the Man Who Got Tracy.

One of the bravest of the Old time
officers of the west, E. A. Farnham,
of Steamboat Springs, is dying at ST.
I,uke's hospital, states a Denver re-
port. His condition is so serious that
telegram has been sent to his wife,
asking her to make haste and come
to Denver.
1t was Mr.. Farnham more than any
one else who succeeded finally in rid
ding Browns Park of its gang of out
laws. He captured single-handed the
outlaw Harry Tracy after Tracy had
murdered Valentine Hoy. Tracy af-
terwards escaped from prison, and in
his efforts to avoid arrest killed seven
or eight men of the posses who fol-
lowed him in a perilous hunt through
Oregon and Washington Finally
Tracy was surrounded in a wheat
field a few miles from Spokane and
killed himself in the night by sending
a bullet through his brain.
Many stories could be told of Farm
hams bravery. He was a man of few
words and slow to anger, but of great
determination. The Hoys, who were
among the oldest settlers in the coun-
ty and of great respectability, were
among his closest friends Valentine
Hoy was killed by Harry Tracy, at a
watering hole, because Tracy, who
was then an outlaw with a price on
his head, feared that Hoy would
cause his arrest. Farnham took up
the chase at once and did not stop
until Tracy's capture.

Col. NJ. Ridpath, candidate for
governor, subject to the republican
primaries, is in Wenatchee today.
The World acknowledges a call from
the gentleman from Spokane.
He is being shown around the city
today by Walter M. Olive. He is an
old soldier and no doubt will split
that vote with Cosgrove.
He expects to leave in the morning
for Waterville and the upriver coun-
try, and will stop on his return.
Concerning his candidacy he had
little to say for publication. Being
informed that when he is talking to
an editor he was talking to thous-
ands of people through the medium
of the press, he had little to say in
regard to his campaign. However,
he did state that he felt confident
that he would come nearer polling
the 40 per cent first choice vote than
any one else.
