Falls City News: We seem to have come to a condition In our sys tem of public school educatlou where leading schoolmen and educators are j afraid to criticise the obvious de fects of present-day school methods of cramming and crowding and ca ijollng the children to the grade i passing point, thus cultivating only the one faculty of memory. Thoroughness Is not to be thought of. 'in this connection, but the "system" is considered of greater importance , than the educational welfare of the t pupil. Fulsome praise of the work j of our teachers may blind us for s 'time, but we are unfavorably im pressed when we learn that pupil ' who have been promoted to the eighth grade know nothing whatever of the vowels and consequently have no knowledge of their value In the correct pronunciation of words. Their knowledge of the accepted meaning !of words, under these circcumstances. (is not likely to be accurate or exteti istve. Teachers may pronounce' and explain words when requested to do so, but what are tne pupus 10 no when their teachers are not present? A good reader has within his grasp the power to acquire knowledge rap idly anil to the full capacity of his mentality. A poor reader learns slowly and uncertainly. There Is no room for argument as to which of these two conditions 1b the more de sirable, and the "system" will not be what It ought to be until it is made to produce the desired results. , Sanitary Grocer "It's Time You Owned a Valtha7ii" VOU can be justly 1 proud of a Walthain Watch.

PORTLAND, Or., July 15. Slay ing of the Hill family here in June and the assassination of Mr. and Mrs. Archie Coble, In Rainer, Wash., last Monday, are connected by Dr. fl. A. Cathey and his brother, C. C ' Cathey, who investigated both cases . j Footprints of the murderer are ! Identical, the width of his hand as shown in bloodstains Is the same and both crimes were committed with striking similarity. Tracing of bloodstains by the Cathey brothers at Rainer vesterd: led the investigators to the room oi Swan Peterson, a section hand, where other bloodmarks were found. Peterson was arrested at Meeker I unction yesterday, and is held at .a coma for the murder of Coblo and! Ms bride of a year. Evidence Awaits Call. j Cathey brothers are awaiting call; to submit their evidence, which they j say Is conclusive. At the Coble home, footprints left j by a man walking on tiptoe were: found, and comparison witft foot marks found at the scene of the Hilt murder Indicate that they are the! Imprints of the same man. The inauY stride in each case Is 31 Inches, and: the width of the shoe in both cases is 3 H inches. Bolstering the evidence supplied by the footprints, the width of the hand of the murderer as traced at the scenes of both murder is identl cal. Added to this, Cathey brothers declare they have sufficient nngei marks to make a microscopical exam ination of the lines to compare them with the digit marks of the prison er held in Tacoma as the murder suspect. Slayer's Imprints Found. 8oon a f ter t he Hill ni u rder , Dr . Cathey and his brother removed the window sills and door casings from the scene of the quadruple crime and from them obtained blood im prints by the application of a liquid which has the ipeoullar virtue f bringing out a bluish-green tint wherever a blood stain has been left. On the sills and casings were found several imprints of the mur derer's hand. These are said to be Identical with the hand imprints said to have been left by Peterson in sev eral places about the hotel at Rainer where he roomed. The murderer at both places walk ed tiptoed and In the Coble caso a patch on the sole of one shoo, is shown. Peterson, the man held for the crime, had his shoes repaired at Rainer Sunday and wore them the day of the crime. At the scene of both crlmeB the foot prints were left on llnob'tim oy wet soles and were only -jlscernthle after close scrutiny. At the Coble home. Dr. Cathey outlined the marks In chalk and by comparing them with similar measures taken at the Hill home Is confident that they are the imprints of the same man. Mr. and Mrs. Coble were killed In exactly the same way that the as assin dealt death to Mr. and Mrs. Hill In Portland. Coble was felled with the butt end of an ax.-' So wa Mr. Hill. Mrs. Coble's head was cleaved with the sharp end of an ax In like manner Mrs. Hill was killed Hod i en of both women wero mistreat ed bv the slayer. Further similarity In the crimes Is shown by the manner of entrant it ml egress of the murdered In both homes. Entrance to the house wa:; gained by the kitchen door and th murderer left that way.

The News' subscription cam- paign, which has been In prog- ress since the first day of June, closes this evening at 6 o'clock. A summing up of the business done lu the way of get- tints w readers shows that over a thousand new people will read either the Daily or Twice- a-Week News during the com- lug year, a record that is cor- talnly most gratifying to the management and far above ex- pectatlons. During this cam- paign of subscription getting but five people have been drop- ped from our regular list. which is most conclusive that once a reader of this paper al- ways a reader. In every nook and corner of the county this paper's lists have been swelled to such proportions that no other publication in the roun- ty, daily, weekly or semi- weekly stands a ghost of a show of ever outdistancing or even duplicating. Hundreds of old subscribers who have been read- ers of The News for many years will still continue to get Doug- las county's leading paper and as an advertising medium there is no competitors lu the Held. The campaign was a clean one from start to finish and not a single complaint has been reg- Istered. For liberal patronage accorded The News and Us traveling representatives the management wishes to acknowl- edge appreciation, and lu the future, as in the past The Even ing and Twice-a-Week News will continue to excell all other publications in this neck of the woods. After 6 o'clock this evening the regular price on all subscriptions will be charged. CIIUKCII XOTICKS. Christian Cliiirih.
