Sarcastic Report,
NOT ASHAMED OF ELECTION
Washington's Enrollment of Pupils Is
Less by 12,000 Than in 1903,
but Daily Attendance Is
Higher This Year.
OLTMPIA. Wash., Dec 2i. (Special.)
The lTth biennial report of the State
Superintendent of Public Instruction was
received from the printers today. It cov
ers 226 pages, and in addition to the infor
mation required by law to be conveyed
to the Governor and the Legislature, It
furnishes practically all information that
any one interested in the schools of the
state would desire to know.
Besides a large number of statistical
tables showing the attendance of pupils,
numbers of teachers employed, wages
paid, wealth of schools, etc, a chapter
is devoted to each of the educational in
stitutions of the state.
The report shows that there were 140.753
children enrolled in the public schools
of the state for the year 1904, as against
361.651 enrolled in 1303. The average daily
attendance in 1901 wag 110,774, and 101.OSS
in the preceding year.
For the year just closed there were 4775
teachers employed In the state, 1131 males
and 3644 females, receiving an average
salary for the men of 560.24, and for the
women 549.70. There were 27.202 children
of school age that did not attend school
during the year at all. In spite of the
compulsory law, and 7061 between the ages
of S and 15 that attended less than three
months.
The total receipts for school purposes in
this state from state, county and special
taxes, from the sale of bonds and other
sources reached 55.619,315.98. The total
disbursements for educational purposes
throughout the state were 54.470.5S6.16V
leaving a ca?h balance of 51.470,586.16; of
the amount paid out during the year, the
sum of 52,246.652.48 waa for salaries of
the teachers.
Of the effort made during the past Sum
mer to take the State and County Super
intendent's office out of politics. State
Superintendent Bryan makes some caus
tic comments. On this subject of elimi
nating, Mr. Bryan says in part:
"Dirty Political Methods."
"The people of this great, happy and
prosperous country are always unhappy,
some about one thing, some about an
other. The different groups or classes
are not always unhappy about the samo
thing, but they are unhappy about one
thing today and about another thing to
morrow. Their moods change from time
to time, but each class must be unhappy
most of the time about something. They
are most miserable when they can find
nothing to be unhappy about.
"As an Instance of this kind, the idea
bored itself into the brains of a. few lead
ing educational people of this state that
the whole school system is being damned
by the fact that the State Superintend
ent and all County Superintendents are
elected In Just the same manner that all
other state and county officers are elect
ed. It had not occurred to me before this
excitement sprang up, but I am now
astonished to think that I have not felt
mortified and chagrined to think that J
was elected by practically the same pro
cess that "William McKinley was elected
and by exactly the same process by which
my colleagues in the Capitol building were
elected.
"I am happy to think that I now
have a good and sufficient reason for be
ing unhappy during the remainder of my
life, and it should bo a sufficient and just
cause to make all County Superintend
ents in this state wretched, to reflect
upon the fact that they, too, were nom
inated and elected in the same manner
as were their associate county officers.
And be it said to the everlasting discredit
of that little clique, which made such
herculean efforts to take these offices
out of politics in the recent -campaign,
that dirtier, more false and debasing po
litical methods were never resorted to by
the lowest ward politician than were re
sorted to by them."
Mr. Bryan then discussed the subject
at length from a serious standpoint" for
the benefit of the Legislature. The re
port will be ready for public distribution
during the coming week.
SEVEN SALOONS SHUT OUT.
So Brewer Wants Result of Prohibi
tion Vote Annulled.
ROSEBURG, Or., Dec 24. (Special.)
An action has been commenced by
Max Weiss, the Roseburg brewer and
Ice manufacturer, against the County
Court of Douglas County, for a writ of
review of the proceedings in connec
tion with the court's order declaring
prohibition of the liquor traffic after
January 1, 1905, In those precincts of
Douglas County wherein a majority
of votes were cast in favor of prohibi
tion at the November election.
The allegations set forth are that
the petition for the suUmission of the
prohibition question to the voters did
not bear the signatures of the requisite
30 per cent of the registered voters at
the preceding election; that the peti
tion itself was not fully signed according-
to law, and that the signatures
were not compared with those on the
registration books; that the notices of
election were illegal in that they did
not bear the seal of the County Court
or the name of the County Clerk in his
own handwriting, the latter having
been printed Instead; and finally, that
the ballots specified a vote on prohibi
tion for the "entire county of Douglas,"
while the precinct is made the basis
of the County Clerk's order.
The action taken is primarily against
the operation of the order in Deer
Creek Precinct, Jn which seven saloons
of Roseburg- are located. The remain
der of the saloons in Roseburg: are in
precincts which voted "wet." By stipu
lation the case -will be argued befdre

VHITES GUARD JAP MILL.
Shingle Plant Under New Manage
ment Has Many Troubles.
BELLINGHAM, "Wash., Dec 2-4.
(Special.) White men have been
guarding the Japanese mill in this
city lor the last ibur days. It is the
Intention of Manager Furushima to
leave a white man on guard at the
plant whenever he is called out of the
city on business. A white man Is cm
ployed because the Japanese laborers
cannot speak English. If" strange white
men were to enter the mill and not be
able to make the employes understand
their errand, there would likely be
bloodshed, as the Japanese are in con
stant fear of being- attacked.
Yesterday the mill was closed be
cause Furushima was in Seattle and
there was no one to file the saws. This
morning there was not a sharp saw in
the plant when the manager returned.
The fact that few shingles have been
manufactured in the last few days,
since the mill has passed into the
bands of the Orientals, does not trouble
the manager, as he says that he did
not expect to get the mill in good 'run
ning order before the first of the year.

.the last term of the Circuit Court found
a true bill of Indictment on a charge of
murder, the case being set for trlnl De
cember 22 by Judge Eakln.
Many witnesses were introduced to
prove a strong self-defense for Rasor,
about 30 being summoned. Ross was em
ployed by Rasor in a sawmill, the dis
pute arising over work. Ross Inflicted
wounds on the person of Rasor which
were considered dangerous for weeks.
Some strong evidence was brought in for
the defense, his dying statement being
produced and read as follows:
Rasor Mill, Union County, Jan. 20, 1904. I
believe that I am about to die soon from the
result of my wounds. On driving up to the
first skldwar, Rasor put on his coat and
stepped in front of me, with his right hand In
hla toat pocket, on his gun, remarking. "Can
you see this skldway?" My reply was. "Yes."
"Then put them logs there," said Rasor. I
replied, "I cannot get these sleds In position
to do what Is right." He rays, "You' put them
logs there." I told him. "Al, you got a gun
here to do me up." I told him that I wanted
no trouble, that if we couldn't agree that 1
would quit, and that would end the game. He
still insisted that he would make me put them
in. I told him I would not- Then, drawing
his gun and crowding toward me, I took my
canthook to push him off. I backed up as fast
as I could, but my sled was In the way. As
he advanced toward me he had his gun pointed
at me. and I used my canthook on him to
push him off. Then came the clinch. With
my right hand around his neck, and with my
left hand, which waa disabled. I grasped the
pistol and did all I couW to hold It. While
holding Rasor' and the gun the best I could,
Henry Lyles struggled to get the gun, which I
gave up. (Signed.) F. W. Whiting. T. M.

GUARD 1 200 STRONG
Report of Adjutant-General on
- State Militia.
WANTS A PERMANENT CAMP
Plat of 160 Acres Asked, on Which
Lasting .Improvements Would Be
Made and Used During the
' Annual Encampment.
SALEM. Or., Dec. 24. (Special.) The
biennial report of Adjutant-General W. E.
Flnzer, of the Oregon National Guard,
shows the total strength of that organi
zation to be 1206 officers and men. The
cost of maintaining the guard for the
last 21 months has been 577.79L1S. leaving
a balance of 513.000 to maintain the guard
for the remaining three months of the
whether the "balance will probably be suf
biennial period. The report does not say
flclent or whether a surplus will be left
on hand.
"The National Guard of this state is In
good condition, as shown by the perform
ance of duty ordered. The camp, .and
maneuver duties were well performed;
the cheerfulness with which every duty
assigned was performed, entitles the whole
force to words of commendation. It is a
pleasure to look back upon the year's
work of the troops of the state," says
the Adjutant-General. "While there is
much yet to be done, I feel that the of
ficers and men are ontltled to praise, and
they will, I am assured, continue in well
doing."
Small Arms Practice.
"From every point of view, target prac
tice is the most Important work with
which we are charged, and so far as it
Is consistent with the means at hand, I
Insist that officers, as well as men, shall
have a practical knowledge of tho use of
arms in use in the National Guard of the
state.
"Unless a soldier is taught to shoot,
his usefulness as a soldier Is reduced to
the utmost peace minimum. There has
been much Improvement, as indicated by
the reports of the several organizations,
In rifle practice for the past year. In rec
ognition of this fact, and as an encour
agement for still better work, this de
partment sent a select team, represent
ing the state, to the Interstate rifle match
at American Lake during the month of
Jul j'. Although seriously handicapped by
lack of experience in shooting on long
ranges 'and skirmish runs, they acquitted
themselves very creditably, and justified
by their knowledge and quick adaption
to conditions mentioned, the expense in
curred." The report then shows that In 1503 un
der the laws then existing, the Oregon,
--.nuuHui uuara consisted of la companies
of Infantry, une battery of light artillery
and one troop of cavalry, in addition to
the general and brigade staffs, numbering
In all S5 officers and 1224 enlisted men.
For the purpose of complying with the
requirements of the act of Congress "to
promote the efficiency of the militia, and
In order to conform the organization of
the Oregon National Guard to that of tho
regular Army, the Infantry forces were
reorganized as follows:
The brigade organization, the organiza
tions of the Third and Fourth Regiments
and of the First Separate Battalion, and
Companies A, Third Infantry, and H.
Fourth Infantry, were disbanded. The
remaining 16 companies of infantry wore
organized as a regiment of XL companies
and a separattSbattalion of four compan
ies, known as the Third Regiment of In
fantry and the First Separate Battalion
of Infantry, respectively. Under this or
ganization there are now 72 officers and
1134 enlisted men.
The report sets forth in detail the work
of the guard In the last two years, shoe
ing, by means of copies of the general or
ders, the general plan of the work at the
encampments In each of the two vears.
The total expenses for 1903 were 544025 78
and for 1904. .33.7e3.37.
The guard has received from the Fed
eral Government arms and ammunition to
the value of 521.39S.S0; Quartermaster
property to the value of 511.099.65. and
ordnance stores to the value of 56.003.84.
Adjutant-General Finzer publishes In his
report a full copy of the Dick law for the
reorganization of the National Guard; a
full account of the proceedings of his of
fice in the payment of Indian War Vet
erans, and a full list of members pf the
Second Oregon who have not received
money or medals to which they are en
titled. He closes with the following rec
ommendations: '
Finzer's Recommendations.
"First I would recommend the pur
chase of a permanent campground for the
Oregon National Guard of not less than
160 acres of land, conveniently located,
where permanent Improvements may be
erected for the use of the troops at each
annual encampment.
"Second That the laws governing the
National Guard be revised In accordance
with the 'Model of Law sent out by the
War Department, with such modification
as' will conform to the needs of local ad
ministration and be submitted to the next
Legislature for adoption.
"Third That provision be made, by the
Legislature for acquiring and maintain
ing a state target range at some suitable
place, accessible to the guard of the state.
"Fourth That the state troops be sup
plied with enough khaki uniforms so that
each enlisted man may be Issued an extra
suit, when In camp, field or maneuver
duty; that the blue uniforms now on hand
need replacing by new ones is beyond
question, and I would recommend that a
new Issue of uniforms be made during
this year. t .
"Fifth I would recommend that the
regulations be amended so that the en
listed men be paid a graded pay, as fol
lows: "Regimental Sergeant-Ma jors and first
sergeants and quartermaster-sergeants, 52
per day.
"Battalion Sergeant-Ma jors and Ser
geants, 5L75 per day.
"Corporals, 51.60 per day.
"Privates, 5L50 per day.
"Sixth That the First Battery, Field
Artillery, should be equipped' as soon as
possible with two more modern field
pieces. x
"Seventh That the Hospital Corps be
furnished with a complete regimental hos
pital outfit, as the corps is sadly lacking
in equipment for competent service In the
field.."

MRS. TOY METS GUESTS
AMERICAN FRIENDS DINED IN
HIGH STYLE.
Wealthy Chinese Hopgrower Pre
sents Young Bride From Portland
to Society, and Receives Gifts.
NORTH YAKIMA, Wash., Dec, 24.
(Special.) The social event of the season
In Yakima this year was the dinner given
by Jung Toy, a wealthy hopraiser, to a
large number of his American friends. In
honor of his recent marriage. Toy made
a barrel of money in the last few years
In the hop business, hls year he made
more than usual. "With all this cash In
hand he concluded to quit living in single
blessedness, and went forth to Portland
to select a blushing young woman of
Chinatown. He found one there to his
choice.
Toy came back to Yakima a few days
ago, and concluded to play the royal host
in modern social style. He had a large
number of Invitations issued, and sent
them out to the best people of the city.
Plates were laid for about 1C0 guests, and
at the appointed hour Jung Toy was sur
prised to see the swell set of the city
marching in upon m, and showering
blessings upon himself and bride. She
was a little shy and awkward at first
In receiving the guests, but with the aid
of her enthusiastic husband and some
friends she performed the functions like
one of the Four Hundred. A feast, the
like of which was never before seen in
Yakima, was spread at the Richelieu, and
the guests did ample justice.
The guests presented the couple with a
clock and a number of valuable silver
pieces. This pleased Mrs. Toy to such an
extent that she could not eat. A number
of speeches were made, and Mr. Toy re
sponded In a happy manner, concluding
with the remark, "I velly happy man an
I glad you come."

WRONG IDEA
Don't get the wrong idea Into your head
that starvation is good for dyspepsia.
It's not.
Those who have not studied the subject
very deeply or with trained scientific
minds, might think so.
But facts prove otherwise.
All specialists in stomach and digestive
disorders know, that It I3 best for dys
pepsia to be well fed.
Why, dyspepsia is really a starvation
disease!
Your feed doesn't feed you.
By starvation, you may give your bow
els and kidneys less to do, but that does
not cure your digestive trouble simply
makes you weaker and sicker; less likely
to be permanently cured than ever.
No. the only right way to permanently
cure yourself of any form of dyspepsia or
indigestive trouble is to eat . heartily of
all the food that you find best agrees with
you, -and help your digestion to work
with Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
This is a safe, certain, scientific, relia
ble method of treatment, which will never
fall to cure the most obstinate cases if
persevered In.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have a gen
tle, tonic, refreshing effect on the secret
ory glands of the entire digestive tract.
They gently force the flow of fresh, di
gestive juices.
They, contain, themselves, many of the
chemical constituents of these juices, thus
when dissolved they help to dissolve the
food around them In stomach or bowels.
They therefore quickly relieve all the
symptoms of indigestion, and coax the
glands to take a proper pleasure In doing
their proper" work.
They coax you back to health.
No other medical treatment of any sort
nor any fad system of "culture" or "cure"
will give ypu the solid, permanent, cura
tive results that will Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets;
Write for a free Book of Symptoms. F.

ODD GOLFING FEATS
Performances Not Provided for in
Rules.
.Tit-Bits.
Many extraordinary performances
have been accomplished by golfers on
the links which have not been provid
ed for by the rules of the Royal and
Ancient Club of St. Andrews, which is
the recognized ruling body.
Quite recently two London golfers
1 made a wager, according to which one
of them had to tee his ball In the mid
dle of Ludgate Circus and "hole out"
In the fountain waters in Trafalgar
Square in not more than 35 strokes
from start to finish, while if the ball
anywhere on the journey became un
playable through any street obstruc
tion. It could only be picked out and
teed again under the h.eavy penalty of
five strokes. It was agreed that this
curious match should be played very
early in the morning, before the traf
fic became busy; qtherwise the police
might Interfere. The performance has
not yet been accomplished.
A very similar feat was both at
tempted and accomplished at Pitts
burg, U. S. A., in 1890, several mem
bers of the Allegheny Golf Club wa
gering 54000, or 800, that a golf ball
could be driven over 4 miles of the
city streets in 150 strokes. At 5 o'clock
in the morning the player who essayed
the task. Mr. William Patten, began
this curious game, In the presence of
a party of friends to the number of 25.
He succeeded in driving the ball the
required distance in 119 strokes, thus
having a lot to spare, but in performing
the feat he did 100 worth of damage
In breaking shop windows and street
lamps.
(Tvvo or three seasons ago a well
known member of the Royal St.
Georg&'s Club at Sandwich undertook ;
to play another member, his only
"club" to be a champagne bottle, while
his adversary was to be allowed the
free use of all the usual golfing Imple
ments from the driver to the putter.

The man with tho champagne bottle
won the match, which did not say much
for the skill of his opponent.
Some golfers are very proud of the
cleanness of their drives from the tee
Many years ago a professional golfer
engaged at the links on the North Inch
Perth, set an example which has since'
been often followed, though with vary
ing success. He teed his ball on tho
face of a valuable gold watch, and then
drove it with all his might. The ball
was sent flying a good length, and the
glass of the watch was unbroken. At
"ttestbrook, U. S. A., three years ago
a player named Knapp wagered that
he could drive a ball oft the top of a
hen's egg without cracking the shell,
the egg being slightly dented at one
end to begin with to enable the ball
to rest upon It. He won his wager.
Some wonderful feats at golf have
naturally been performed in Edin
burgh, where nearly everybody Is a
golfer. Two players belonging to this
city once played a match over an ex
temporized COUrSP. whlr.Vi hamn - ?
Bruntsfleld links and ended at the tofr
of Arthur's Seat, which is about 830
feet above the sea level. A few years
previously another Edinburgh golfer
for a wager sent a number of balls
from the High street over the weather

HT HEALTH.
CT DISEASE.
Man is a millionaire many times over in
the possession of blood cells. Woman is
not quite so rich, for scientists have proven
that the normal number of red blood cells
in adult men is five million; in women four
and a half million, to the square millimeter.
The normal cell is not absolutely round
in health, but, in disease, becomes ex
tremely irregular in shape. Every one can
be in perfect health and possess the mil
lions of rich red blood corpuscles if they
only know how to go about it. Dr. R. V.
Pierce, consulting' physician to the Inva
lids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buf
falo, N. Y., advises every man and woman
to prepare for a long: life by'observinjr na
ture's laws. In the first place, if your
digestion is faulty, and the food you
eat is not taken up by the blood and assim
ilated properly, you need a tonic and diges
tive corrector, something' that will increasa
the red blood corpuscles; he believes in
going about this in nature's own way.
Years ago, in his active practice, he found:
that an alterative extract of certain herbs
and roots, put up without the use of alco
hol, would put the liver, lungs and heart
into fuller and more complete action. This
medicine he called Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. By assimilating the
food eaten, it nourishes the blood, and, in
stead of the ill-shaped corpuscles, the per
son's blood takes on a rich red color and
the corpuscles are more nearly round.
Nervousness is only the cry of the starved,
nerves for food, and when the nerves are
fed on rich red blood the person loses
those irritable feelings. Bleeps well at night
and feels refreshed in the morning.
