good and better citizens
My certain knowledge is of the eff
forts of these thirty old pioneers to
make it possible for you. their posteri-
ty. to become valuable and useful cit
liens to fill the places that are left by
them in the high stations of the United
States government. and while we re-
greet to know that We have some insti-
tutions around in our city, which have
for their object the making of drunk
ards and paupers, We believe the day
is coming when those influences will be
remembered as Institutions or the past
We have nothing to say against the
men who are engaged in the saloon
business because a great many of them
are good citizens, but we do wish to
impress on your minds that in the le-
CALLING of this business by the state
laws, lies the blame.
The most suitable substitution for
the time lost by our young men and
young girls in idling around such
places of iniquity, as well as what |
consider the most needful addition to
the training of our young people in the
public schools, is the establishment of a
manual training department in the
public schools of the city. which will
train our young girls in domestic
sciences thus preparing them for their
household duties, and which will teach
our young boys how to build their own
homes, and instruct them in the use or
machinery, etc. This is the best inno-
walton to the training of the students
of today that l know of and certainly
fine substitution for the time now
spent around saloons.
Before closing 1 wish to mention to
you that in 1872 we had less than 500
students, now we have, including
Whitman college, De La Sale Institute,
st. Vincent academy, the Episcopal
school, College place institutions, Ber-
ney school and the Yellow Hawk
schools, all of which are in and add
joining Walla Walla, we have over
5000 students and we anticipate that
from the influences of these 5000 stu
dents the destiny of this city and of
this state will be fulfilled, and we hope
that from the Influences of these com
ing citizens that this city will become
noted for it's high class of citizens as it
is already ooticed for its good schools.

tend to uplift the citizens Of our coun-

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
C. BIalock, who is caring for Mrs.
Sheets. the injured woman, said he
was not yet able to determine just
how serious her injuries may prove
to be. The patient, who is an elderly
lady, is from Missouri, and was on her
way to visit relatives in this section.
AS the passenger coach in which she
was riding came to sudden stop,
she was thrown from her seat against
the seat in front, and it feared she IS
injured internally. Mrs. Sheets is now
in the st. George hotel, under the care
of DIR. Blalock.
Claude Bagby and wife of Kansas
City, who are on their way to Pome-
row. were on the Wal!ula train, and
Mr.. Bagby when seen this afternoon
gave the following graphic account of
the accident:
I'VE were running along, l should
say, about Is miles an Sour, with
comparatively level ground on either
side of the track. Suddenly there was
an explosion which seemed like a
carload of dynamite had been touched
off directly beneath us. Steam.
smoke and water obscureG the vision
from the car windows for few min
utes, during which the train. with
grinding, groaning sounds, came to
an abrupt stop the two coaches off
the rails.
L was holding a child in my lap al
the time l handed the babe to my
wife, and, telling her that was pro-
bably needed at the engine, made all
haste to go forward. / found the
engineer and firemen on their feet
all right, but how they ever escaped
is more than l can tell. The engine
is a total wreck, with pieces scattered
on both sides of the track for a dis
lance of one hundred feet. The
smokestack was hurtled through the
air, and landed fully 400 feet from
where the engine stood.
That the passengers escaped with
but slight injuries is more of a mir
acle than anything else. Mrs. Sheets
was sitting two seats ahead of me
in the day coach, and tainted dead

tered than hurt, for none of the pas
sengers seemed to be throWn from
their seats. 1 have since learned,
however, that Mrs. Sheets may be in
ternally injured. SO far as 1 know,
she is the on'y one injured.
when the coaches came to a stop,
it seemed impossible that they would
remain upright, as they were leaning
dangerously toward one side, making
it almost impossible to walk down the
aisles. Had they toppled over. it is
certain many would have been hurt,
and possibly killed"
Burns statement.
When asked this afternoon whether
No. 81 was considered a safe locomo-
tive, General Agent Robert Burns said
he did not know the machine from sew
