News of Cushman's Death Shock to
Friends in Congress.

News of Cushman's Death Shock tc
Friends in Congress.
Washington, July News that
Francis w. Cushman. representative
from Washington. had passed away in
New York yesterday morning, came
as great shock to his host of friends
in both branches of congress. Morn
ing papers contained dispatches an
nouncing he had successfully passed
his crisis and was on the road to recov-
cry. 1t was not until the members of
congress reached the capitol that they
heard of his death, and even then word
spread slowly among the members, for
the house was not in session.
In conformity with Mrs. Cushman's
wish, there will be no congressional
escort appointed to accompany the re-
mains to Tacoma, but the body will be
taken across the continent by a repre-
sentative of the sergeant-at-arms of
the house, who went to New York this
morning. The house will not meet
until Thursday. At that time Cush-
mans death will be announced, and ad-
journment probably be taken out of re-
spect to his memory.
Senator Piles. who was with Mr..
Cushman when the end came, returned
to Washington last evening. He said
Mr.. Cushman passed away peacefully,
being unconscious during his last
hours. Heroic treatment was resorted
to as soon as Mr.. Cushman's condition
took turn for the worse, but he was
so weakened that he did not respond to
treatment. He sank steadily through
the night and breathed his last at two
minutes past 5 yesterday morning.

BOYS Do Not Need Licanse.

Salem-County Clerk Allen has re-
ceived letter from State Game War
den Stevenson, of Forest Grove, to the
effect that all deputies had been noti-
fled not to require women and boys un-

warden says the law plainly intended
to exempt the women and children, and
he believes it no more than justice to
the state and those directly concerned
to abide by the evident intent of the
law.

Our Northern Friends Would Better Look
After Their Own Schools.

An unprecedented scandal of
liquor drinking and cigarette
smoking on part of boys and,
girls in the high school
brought to a head Tuesday by
expulsion of a girl member of TN
junior class. Other explosions
are expected to occur. The ex-
pulusion OF a girl came as a result
of an investigation into charges
of misbehavior on the part of boy
and girl students by the school
committee.
At a reception and dance given
for Miss Helene Robinson, a new
teacher in the high school audi
forum, on last Friday night, 1t is
alleged that whiskey was brought
into the school by one of the boy
students, and that four girls and
some of the boys went into the
basement, where they drank the
contents of the bottle and smoked
cigarets.
On returning to the hall, it is
alleged that Il of the girls was so
intoxicated that she could hardly
walk, and that the others showed
evidence of their carousal. This
ls the second scandal of this kind
that has developed within three
weeks. A short time ago the high
school basketball team was dis.
banded because of misconduct at
Dummer Academy, where it was
playing.-Newburg, N. Y, dis

The Topers Should be Careful.

The discovery of a certain brand
of ''liquor' that some folks here
abouts are now drinking was made
a day or two ago when a man reg
istering at a local hotel as "Mr.
Smith, of New York" and alleg-
ing that he was in "mental anguish
collapse" as a result of the death
two weeks ago of his wife," asked
that a physician be summoned.
A local physician was summon
ed and likewise a,nurse employed.
1t is said that the man, who fire.
quently went into paroxysms of
weeping, was worked with for a.
bout Z hours when the attending
physician learned the true cause
of the mans ailment. He had
been drinking aooncocation palm
ed off as "liquor" which, when
analyzed, contained, it is said,
wood alcohol. nitro-muriatic acid
andsbead oil. The man who really,
it is said, came from the country,
was later arrested. Had he drunk
much of the stuff at a time there
would not have been need for a
doctor or nurse either.-Asheville

FOR THE FARMERS.
Some Suggestions Which May or May Not
be Found Profitable.

There is only one way to the
hearts of men-the way of your
own heart.
Some men who love their wives
seem really afraid they will find
it out.
Let us all know our own minds;
everybody certainly ought to know
this much.
Just one furrow plowed through
a field that IS soaked with water
will hurry the process of drying a
good many days.
About that boy of yours: Are
you going to make the farm inter-
esting to him this year by giving
him a real stake in the stock and
crops?
While it may not be advisable
to spread manure Oh a slde-hill
field when the grown is frozen. it
is we'll enough to spread it on a
plowed field that is nearly level.
Trusting to memory till night,
before you set down money paid
out, is dangerous. Do it right off.
Garry a little book in you pocket
and use it whenever there is any,
thing to make a minute of.
The first spring day makes us
all uneasy to get out on the land
to work; but fellow farmers, we
can gain time and be sure of bet
ter crops by just sitting still un-
til the earth is dry enough to work.
There is no surer way to spoil land
than to work it when 1t is too wet.
Before going down into a we'll,
test the purity of the air by low
