MIRACLE PAINTING
MARVEL OF ART

in the Shadow of the Cross" the
unfinished and unexplained miracle
picture on exhibition at the Parish
house of the Church of the Redeem
er, is attracting a great number of
people and exciting much admiration,
wonderment and speculation.
1t certainly is marvellous in its eff
feet and is well worth the time and
money it takes many times over.
The painting is one of the Christ
man, full length, and seen in the
light has nothing unusual about it to
account for the strange phenomena
connected with it, Immediately upon
the shutting out of the light. a
strange. weird light is seen emanat-
ing from the background of the pic
ture, the figure of the Savior remain
ing dark in the center and heighten-
ing .hy contract the pale luminosity.
Behind the shoulders of the Christ
and breaking the lighted area is the
shadow of cross, from which the
painting derives its name.
The exhibitors of this picture do
not claim any spiritual significance
attaching to the peculiar light, but
designate it as an accident of art
which has defied all attempts at du-
plication. Undoubtedly the light is
given off from some chemical in the
pigments of the paint All tests, it is
claimed, have proven that it is not
pitch blende, radium or any of the
many phosphorescent substances
Whatever its cause, to see it is to mar

WHITMAN WILL GET
GROUNDS OF FORTRESS

Walla Walla, Dec. S.-That Whit
man college will get the lands now oc
cupied by Fort Walla Walla is now
almost an assured fact. The bill was
introduced into the upper house of
congress Monday and was favorably
received and needs only the support
Of the people of this city to pass.
The move instituted by the college
authorities was not to do away with
Fort Walla Walla but only to give
the lands Of the fort to the college,
IL having already been determined
to do away with the fort in pursuance
of the policy of the secretary of war
which is in line with the presidents

army
The college authorities were assur-
ed about a year ago that the govern
ment intended to abandon the army
post located at Walla Walla. This is

Mrs John Watson Dies.

Mayor f. ]. Murphy received a tel
egram from Seattle this afternoon, an
nouncing the death of Mrs. John
Watson, a former well-known resi-
dent of Pendleton. Her husband was
one of the founders of the Pendle-
ton planning mill. He was one of the
firm of Watson & Luhrs and at first
the mill was located on the north side
of the river near the present Chris
tian church site. Mr.. Watson has
been dead for some time and but q
few months ago Mrs. Watson lost a
sister. 1t is believed that her death
had much to do with the decline OF
Mrs. Watson. The Watson family
left this city some ten years ago
There are no relatives in Pendletor
but the deceased had many warm
friends in Pendleton who regret hel
death.

ket-Prices irregular.

| New York, Dec. Speculative at
tention was diverted in todays stock
market into by-channels having to do
with special developments concerning
railroad properties. The separation
| of the Rock Island and Frisco had
given ground for suppositions of re-
adjustments which might involve mo.
mentous consequences to the existing
balance of relations and control
among railroad properties. Today's
announcement from the Lehigh of the
coming entry into its directorate Of
dominant power of the Rock Island
afforded light on one direction which
the REIMBURSEMENT is taking.
The differences drawn from this
proved confusing and bewildering.
This increased when the new forces
in Lehigh disclaimed any interest in
Wabash, the stock of which has been
influenced several days by the as
sumption that it was included in the
plans for the direction of the Lehigh.
This idea was not entirely relquished
despite the disclaimers. Superstition
pointed as alternative to the Lacka-
wanna as the eastern outlet for the
Rock Island to be linked by the Wa
bash. This alternative did not weak

A field for surmise was offered by
the possible re-casting of relations to
follow the acquisition of the Frisco
to the Hawley holdings. The joint
effect of the various surmises was not
stimulating to the market, which was
affected also by the reduction of de
mand for short interest, which was
covered in yesterdays railways. The
liability of call money to fiurries on
account of the continued exports of
gold and requirements of large trans
actions involved in the readiustment
of railroad ownerships, begets eau

Broke Out in Yesterdays Wheat Mar
ket, as Railroad Strike
Threatened to Spread.

Chicago, Dec. 2.-WHEAT.-The
threatened spread of the switchmen's
strike caused a stampede among the
shorts in the final hour of today's ses-
sion, and transformed the previously
weak market into one of decided
strength. At the close prices were
40 &c higher. The shorts, in their
anxiety to cover, bid the price of De-
cember up lhc above the low point
of the day. This in turn affected the
more distant deliveries, although July
showed only moderate upturn. Ar

ance of the ideal weather for har
