 The O'Neill bill, for the taxation of telephone, telegraph and express com panies. was taken up for final passage, but on objection that enough time had not been given for it's consideration, it was referred to the committee of the whole.

lege social functions. The reasons
given in the resolutions for this edict
were twofold: First, that class dis
tlnction and class spirit seem to be
on the wane; and, second. that many
freshmen are completely shut out of
the social life of the university be-
cause Of the rapidly growing custom
OF wearing full dress at the dances

the general fund June 1 was s493,-
1879, as against $312,37S.94 Janu-
airy /.
One of the features of the state
ment is the steady increase of the
common school fund interest. which
amounted to $253,5S1.52 on June /,
as against S201.241.23 upon the cor
responding date of last year, includ-
ing S119,0000 which was apportioned

ments before that date, according to

son, johnson and House were called
in and examined him. They could
find no indication of the recent use
of drugs, but they said they could
not be certain unless he were
searched to the skin and placed in
solitary confinement for 4S hours.
The only place in the Jail for such a
test is the dungeon. Martin said he
was willing to go there, eager to do
anything to prove that he has won in
the battle with morphine.
This moroning Martin stripped his
clothing and was provided with an
other suit by Jailer Hunter, who then
locked him in the dungeon. He was
also provided with plenty of blankets
to keep warm. For several hours he
was without a light and got a touch
of the punishment that is meted out
to unruly prisoners in the solitude or
darkness. Finally the Jailed discov-
cred a lantern and passed this into
the cell, also giving him book with
which to while away the hours.
Martin is cheerful In his solitude,
He expects to be able to prove to the
specialists Friday morning that he
has quit the use of drugs, for the ex-
animation will show otherwise IL he
has used them. Deprivation of the
drug for 4S hours will show telltale
marks If he has used even the small
est quantity.

IN DARK DUNGEON

Portland.-Edward Hugh Martin,
convicted of manslaughter on the
charge of killing Nathan Wolff, is oc-
cupying the dungeon in the county
iail. Jailer H. P. Hunter thrust him
into the inky darkness of the solitary
cell at 8 o'clock Wednesday morning
and will keep him there until Friday
morning.
Unlike most men who go into the
dungeon, Martin went there of his
own free will. He was even anxious
to go. for this gives him chance to
prove that he is freed from drug
slavery, which so long held him in its
grasp.
Martin is putting to the supreme
test his statement that he Is cured
from the use of morphine. If in As
hours, when he comes out Of the dun
geon. a rigid examination shows that
he is free from the drug monster,
Martin is convinced that he will stand
n much better chance to secure a
pardon. A petition for pardon Is now
being circulated, and will be taken
before the governor soon.
Martins attorneys have sought sig
natures to the petition on the ground
not only of his innocence, but also his
cure Of the drug habit. But the NOR
phine habit is so strong, and the pos
sIbility that Martin might have OBJ
tanned drugs from time to time, de-
spite the vigilance of the jailer and
his own denials, caused many people
to ask, "How do you know that he is
cured?"
