FLED IN NIGHTIE.
Klamath Falls Woman Alleges Cru.
city at Ashland.

Klamath Falls, Feb. Mrs.
Louisa Davidson has filed her suit
for divorce in the circuit court,
through her attorney, H. w. Shaw,
against Edward Davidson.
The couple were married at Jack
sonville in 1903, during all Of which
time since that date Mrs. Davidson
alleges her husband has been excess
lively addicted to the use of intOXi-
cants, and that since 1904 or 1905
he has been an habitual drunkard.
She alleges that during these years
he has abused her by cursing and
kicking her, and even Knocked her
down many times while intoxicated.
While living near Ashland, in
1905, Mrs. Davidson alleges that her
husband came home in a drunken
rage late one night and threatened
her life, compelling her to flee
through a window in her night cloth
ing and hide in the woods, where she
remained all night in her scanty
clothing.
So unbearable did her condition
become, she alleges, that she finally
left her husband and came to Klam'
ath Falls alone, opening the South
ern Pacific rooming house, to which
| nlace he LATER followed her sine,
when he has persisted in demandin:
money for liquor.
On the night of December 20
1911, she alleges her husband
threatened again to kill her and lef
the house for a gun, but returned
later in a drunken condition.

INDIAN FIGHTER, 100, DEAD.
Levi f. Boyd, Who Crossed Plains
With Whitman, Succumbs.

Walla Walla, Wash, Feb. 6.-Levi
E. Boyd, who came to the northwest
20 years ago, crossing the plains
with Marcus Whitman in 1S43, died
today, aged 100.
But little is known of Mr.. Boyd's
early history. He was born in Ohio
in September, 1912, and served in
the Civil War and in the Indian wars
of Oregon and Washington. His
memory was clear and distinct on
historical matters, but owing to his
afflictions he was unable to con-
verse fluently during his declining
years.
From 1913 until 1860 Mr.. Boyd
remained in the west, going through
the Indian uprising which preceded
the Whitman massacre in 1S47. At
the opening of the Civil War he re-
turned to the east and enlisted his
services in the Confederate cause
At the close of the war he again
came west and since had made his
home in the vicinity of Walla Walla
About three years ago Mr. Boyd
suffered a stroke of paralysis and
steus were about 10 be taken to place
him in the county infirmary, wher
Mrs. Robert Allen, who had giver
! him a home on one of her ranches
made arrangements to have hin

loved to have visitors, though he wa
not able to carry on the conversation

PREHISTORIC VI.CETABLEs.

When the Neolithic invaders from Asia
had driven the Palaeolithic hunters of
Europe before them, at the edge of the
axe of polished stone, the mode OF life
of the continent began to change. The
Pala eoithic tribes had been hunters
the NcOlithic men were a pastoral race
and having found countries convenient
for settlement they became sedentary
and grew their provisions by their doors
Thus it IS to the Neolithic men that we
owe, probably, domestic animals and the
principal food plants Schenk, in Pre-

THE EDUCATIONAL INQUIRY.
From the Montpelier Journal)

(From the Montpelier Journal)
Friends of education In Vermont have
for some time been awaiting with keen
interest the report of the commission
appointed by the Governor about a year
ago under authority of a Joint resolution
passed by the Legislature to Investigate
the educational system and conditions Of
Vermont The resolution authorizing the
creation of this commission was adopted
IN response to n recommendation made
by Governor Fletcher in q message to
the legislature The executive was NOV
cd to make this recommendation by the
fact that grave doubt had arisen in the
minds of many citizens as 10 the ofi-
cheney Of the common school system Of
the state and also AZ TO the adequacy
Of tho return the State IL receiving from
appropriations made in aid of the higher
educational institutions OF the State
It was the executives idea that by a
thorough and impartial investigation by
a competent commission Of the entire cd
vocational situation in this State 1t would
be possible to discover such defects and
weaknesses as exist in the present sys-
tenn thus furnishing trustworthy basis
for changes that would raise the educa-
tional standard to the highest possible
plan of efficiency and at the same time
make 1t certain the State and its people
realized the largest possible benefits from
the sums expended in promoting educa-
ton.
The commission appointed by Governor
Fletcher for this important work is one
conspicuous for its ability and fitness, 1t
consists of the Hon j. H. Watson, chair
man; Nicholas Murray Butler president
of Columbia University, Theodore n.
| Vail, percival w, Clement, Horace r.
| j. r. Estee,
! Under the direction of this commission
experts from the Carnegie foundation
have made an educational survey OF
Vermont, the most thorough, systematic
and searching ever attempted anywhere
in this country. The report of the re-
suits Of this survey is now in the hands
| OF the commission to which II must
prove Of incalculable value in preparing
its report. And this report it is hoped
will he forthcoming at an carly day as
II no doubt will give Vermonters a clear
er view than they have ever had before
of the actual worth and efficiency of
their educational system and the i'm
provements and changes that must be in.
