The WonrajnV Christian Temepr
mice Union. rr Sutlierlln, on last
evening, entertained friends at a ban
quet. Those present from out of the
city wer.) M. and Mrs. I. N. Puis,
of Oakland: Hon. und Mrs. H L.
Eddy, and Mrs. mi Mri. A. 0. M.irs
tcrs, of Rosohurg An Int'ornial rei en
tlon was held In '.ho Smith hall at
eight o'clock. Pati-'otlc iionjjs were
' sung, after which tli5 I'inia nnmlier
of guests wero seat'?'! at the beauti
fully spread tables, which were ;ro
; fusly decorated with sweet pens, and
n.nk'd wltli .choice delicacies, to
which the guusts did ample IttHlice.
After an hours' feasting and pleas
ant conversation, the president of
the W. C. T. V., Mrs. M. E. French,
rapped for attentions and announced
that Mr. Strong would net as to:iHt
niaster, of thcevonlng, which duty
bo performed fa & most gracious nnd
pleasing manner. "After well chosen
remarks, be called on Mayor Phil
Hps, who extended a kind nnd cor
dial welcome to the guests of the
evening and paid a high compliment
to the ladles of the union, and brief
ly discussed the subject at Issue, lie
was followed by Mr. Sack, of the
Sutherlln State Bank, who spoke at
some length. He stated th't lie had
been attracted to Suthcrlln on account
of the temperance sentiment prevail
ing, that he bad been Informed that
Douglas county was dry territory and
would probably remain such. Ho had
hoped the questions would not ngaln
come to Issue, as he felt ho could
not. and would not make his home
In a community controlled by the
saloon element. Mr. Sack's words
wore forceful nnd potent.
Remarks by others were appropri
ate and flttiug, showing an apprecia
tion for the work being done by the
ladles.
Hon. A. C. Marsters, of Unschurg, I
was then culled and made a few
brief remarks from the view-point of
a business man. Ho showed that the
real pisporlty of any community was
not measured or enhanced by the
number of saloon or the quantity
of liquor consumod, that It took the
more substantial Industries to bring
prosperity; that business und booze
could not long keep company; that
you must either cut out booze,
boozo will divorce your business.
County President Mrs. Marsters
was asked for a word. Sho made a
strong and earnest plea for the pro
tection of the homo and our boys
and girls. Showed the drunkard as
the saloon's product and the hoy the
raw material.
Tho speaker of the evonlug. Hon.
TJ. L. Kddy, was Introduced by the
toastmaster, who spoke In his usual
forcorul nnd earnest maimer. He
laid bare the soplilstery or those who
palliate the evil by license regula
tion. Ho showed by strong nnd con
vlnclng cltuttnns there was more vlo
Tntlon of the liquor laws In license
territory than In prohibited terri
tory, nnd called ntteutlon to gov
ernor West's actions In closing dis
reputable resorts In Multnomah coun
ty and recently compelling tho resig
nation of the mayor of Huntington
In tho rum-soaked, wide-open linker
county, and not In a single Instance
had the governor been forced to take
action against violators of liquor
laws In dry territory. Mr. Eddy's ad
dress was a strong, forceful and logi
cal arraignment of the liquor traffic.
He showed that a strong and force
ful organization hud placed liquor
above principle, dollars nnovo good
government, sober citizenship, right
eousness and humtin souls. Mr. Kd
dy's logical and forceful address was
enthusiastically appluuded.
All Joined In singing America, nnd
with many appreciative words Tor
the Indies who bad prepared such a
dellghtrul evening's entertainment,
nnd at a late hour the people were
loath to leave. Those who were privi
leged to attend will ever have n
Word of prolso to the ladles of the
V. C. T. V. and may their noble ef
forts lie ever crowned with micccs?.
Ing campaign Is his defense of the
Payne-Aldrlch tariff law have Just
been compiled by the. bureau of sta-tictics.
Up to June 30, the end of the fis
cal year, the Puyne law bad been In
operation Just 35 months, which hap
pens to be tho total period of the
operation of the Wilson law. The
figures show that whereas lnerchan
dise to the value of 30.0 millions of
dollars came In absolutely duty free
under the Wilson law. 67.7 millions
Is the total for the Payne law in the
same period.
The per cent of Importations that
came in free under the Wilson act
was 48.8, under the Payne 61.2. The
average rate of nd valorem duty un
der the Payne law Is 41.2, under the
Wilson 42.8. The average amount
of revenue from customs receipts per

Instantly Killed When Pilot Strikes
Jllm No Name or Identifi
cation Marks,
Yesterday afternoon at about 2
o'clock as the freight, was pulling
into Oakland, a stranger, who had
been quietly sitting near the track,
deliberately arose, stepped quickly
in front of the engine, and was struck
by tho pilot, which threw the body
some distance to one side, death be
ing Instnntuiieous. The whole thing
happened so suddenly, was so un
locked for, that the engineer had
no tlmo to avert the accident, nor
could he hnve stopped the train, bo-
causo the distance was so slight that
to have brought the engine to
standstill would have been Impos
sible.
A crowd quickly gathered around
the body, but a hasty examination
proved Hint life was extinct, and
that death was Instant.
The man had been loitering around
the city and depot for some hours.
hut no one knew who ho was or
from whence be came. He was dress
ed as a laborer, was without coat or
vost, nor was there anything In his
pockets which would lead to his
Identity. He wore a black hat, which
on tile sweat bnnd had stenciled
the name of 0. Drookmun. Whether
this was his name or not Is mere
conjecture. He wore no beard or
moustache, but there was a two
weeks growth on his face. Three of
his back tooth on the left side were
gold filled. One molar was missing
from tho right Bide. lie wore a good
pair of shoes, and wns apparently
about 40 yours of tige.
Coroner Jewett visited the scene
In the late uftornoon, but after as
certaining thu facts surrounding the
tragedy, deemed that an Inquest was
unnecessary. The fellow had been
cirouud Oakland some hours before
the train came In, and had been no
ticed by several persona who thought
he acted queerly, but no particular
attention was given him. It Is the
opinion of those who are nequulntcd
with tile facts surrounding the affair
that the man wuk eithor Insano, or
that be was In a despondent mood,
perhaps over lack of money or em
ployment, and deliberately suicided.
He had no money in his pockets, nor
anything else of value. Unless the
body Is Identified and claimed the
county will order it interred.

FIFTEEN GREAT DEPARTMENTS OF KNOWLEDGE
The Fifteen Great Departments supply the needs and exercise all the faculties of the growing mind.
Natural Science, which lights up nature; delightful history, mechanics and arts; beautiful places to be
seen or dreamed about, adventure, which arrives and brings back a treasure; real people more interesting
than giants and cleverer than faries; things to make and do which delightfully occupy busy hands all
satisfy and stimulate eager young minds. The reason for including every department will be easily
apparent after examining the work.
President John II. Fiuley, of the College of the City of New York, introduction savs:
"Suppose a boy of ten were to spend fifteen minutes a day reading these pages, . . . he would at 13
know more about the earth and the life on it then the wisest men knew a few generations ago."

A WKIX-ItOUXPKD EDUCATION
A wolt-roumlcd education cannot be obtained In
the school room alone. The boy or girl whose prog
ress Is the most rapid will almost always be the one
whoso reading has been carefullv selected at home.
The editors of the BOOK OF KNOWLEDGE have
rendered this great service to childhood. No wise
paront will neglect the opportunity offered by this
work to study the disposition and capabilities of his
child. In many rrars a child's life work may be
determined by the puetsession of these books.

"It Is an exhaustive work and a notable example
of editorial skill In the choice of topics and their

to assist parents, their sons and daughters In flnd
Irg out whether a child's natural bent be toward
science, mechanics, trade or literature."
