Washington, Feb. 18 The senaio and bonne conferees on the bill extend ing the time for making income-tax re turns, today reached an agreement on the amendment made to the bill in the sen ate. The first amendment was accepted by the hotife with a modification, making it read as follows : "In computing incomes under said act, the amount necessary for fire insurance premiums and ordinary repairs shall be deducted. The second amendment, providing against double payment on amounts, re ceived as dividends trom corporations and exempting such dividends even in cases where the tax may not have been paid by the coperation, was agreed to with some verbal amendments. The senate conferees receded fronc the third amend ment exempting taxpayers from answer ing any inquires not specially provided for in the act, am) it was stricken out. Viotoria Crippled, London, Fob. 18. The Queen arrived in London this afternoon. She had re quested that the strictest privacy be ob served in her reception and at Victoria station she was kept in seclusion so abso lutely that empty trains were aligned along the platform so persons on the other platform could not see her alight. The reason for this extraordinary privacy was that rheumatism in her joints had so increased that the queen was unable to walk. She was assisted from her car and down an inclined plane to the platform, where she was placed in a chair and borne to her carriage. Her" dislike of observation was also evidenced by the fact hat a detachment of life guards completely surrounded her car riage as she was driven to Buckingham palace. In spite of all this the queen was heartily cheered as she left the station and as she passed along the route. A True Benefaotor. London, Feb. 18. In connection with the 100th anniversary of tire birth of the late George Peabody, the trustees here of the fund given by Peabody for the erect ion of dwellings for the working classes of London report that the total amount of the fund is now 1,140,000.

Peck, first lieutenant of the ordnance corps, wu almost instantly killed on the proving grounds at Handy Hook this afternoon by the bursting of the breech of a Hotchkiss gun. The tent of a 4 7-10 inch Hotchkiss rapid firing gun was under way, and two rounds with fixed ammunition had been successfully fired by Peck. When the third round was fired, the breech of the gun bursted and fragments struck Peck, causing injuries which resulted in his death in few minutes. 8eargeant John Thorp was slightly in jured, but tbe others present, among whom were Captain Heath, command ing officer of the proving grounds, and Major Phipps, president of the ordnance board, escaped unhurt. There were many narrow escapes, however, as fiagments of the breech were sent in all directions. Tbe breech block, after striking several obstructions, landed about 100 yards lo the rear.

Thinking that your readers are desirous of hearing from every locality in the county, however obscure, I send you a few items from here for publication. The Canemah Amateur Dramatic club, of which Eugene Hedges, A. B., is busi ness manager, will play the celebrated melodrama (so called, but really a trag edy or a tragi-comedy). " Botany Bay," at Shiveley's hall in the near future. R. W. Porter recently blew out a stump which made the earth tremble; he is now pulling out Btutups with his stump puller. It was discovered on entering the church last Sunday afternoon that the organ had been broken. It is supposed to have been done bj " hoodlums" who entered the building through the win dows. The debate held last Friday night at the school house by N. Stupp was appre ciated by the pupils of the advanced de partment of the Canemah public school, by whom the arguments were delivered. The question discussed was, " Resolved, That one will learn more by travel and observation than by study and reading." It was decided in favor of tbe negative by two of the three judges Mr. Wm. Hedges aud Mrs. Clark Ganong. School will close here Friday, March 1, when the retiring principal, N. Stupp, will leave for Clatsop county, where he will engage in school work. He has been very successful here. At a meeting of the school board last night, Mr. E. C. Hackett was employed as his suc cessor. Miss Chase, the primary teacher, has given satisfactory service ; she is an intelligent young lady, and there seems to be no reason why she sbonld cot be retained. C. J. S. EDUCATIONAL NOTES All note for this column should be) tent to Mrs. H. 8. Gibson, editor, Oregon City, Oregon. TKACHEKS I HAVE SEKN. The various pedagogical publications and instructors in institutes usually have a great deal to say about "the lazy, care less pupil" and what to, do with him. Does it ever occur to the teachers that often, very often, there is laziness to be found on the rostrum as well as at the desks? Is not the adage true, "active teacher, active school? Is it more than half true? "lazy teacher, lazy school"? Yea, verily, in all sincerity it may be said that the teacher is known by his pupils and bis work by their work. A certain college professor under whom it was my misfortune to sit, nsed to take bis position each morning in a revolving chair clos to his dek and very close to the blackboard. With his book open before him, and his arms spread out on his desk he would sit, tl.e very personifi cation of laziness, while the recitation progressed. (I almost said retrogressed) Whenever it came very necessary to ex plain a point he would whirl around on his revolving chair, (his lens wound aroun 1 tbe support of the same) and picking up a piece of crayon, write fn slovenly character what he desired lo explain. That portion of the blackboard immediately behind him soon became covered with 'fsturmian functions" etc., and rather than reach for an eraser, be would employ his coat sleeve for that to clean off the chalk marks. In an entire year's work nnder him I never saw him stand once, or exhibit any enthusiasm or energy. Needless to say that after one year his place was snpplied by an other and be disappeared forever from the profession of teaching. A district school teacher in Minnesota, whose school I once visited, was a vigor ous chewer of tobacco! He sat with his chair tipped back against the wall and nsed a knot-bole in the door as a cugpi dore! He ran for county superintendent of schools but was defeated, fortunately. A teacher in New York was hearing a lesson on the barometer. ''Did you ever see a barometer?" she said, "There is one np in the eare yonder," said tbe teacher, "some day we will get it out and look at it." "I don't like to teach botany" said a teacher i i a Pennsylvania high school, "it is too much bother clearing up after a class has been analyzing a plant." Let every teacher dispel such laziness. How if you enter upon your work with zeal, will the faces brighten as they tarn -toward yours ! This is tbe,present reward ; there are others that will follow. Frank O. Payne, in New York School Journal. NEEDY NOTES. Public Installation of OfBeer and Banqnet by Grantert Valentine Party. Needy, Feb. 19. The Valentine party given in Liberty hall on the evening of the 14th was well attended. An enjoya ble time was bad by all present. The particular event of the evening was the distribution of the valentines which were humorous and very amusing. The Boise Grange which was organ ized at Elliott Prairie was moved to this place on Monday the 18th for the pur pose of having a more extensive field to operate in. Tbey held their first meeting in Liberty hall and invited their friends to joiu them in witnessing the public in stallation of officers and partake of a bountiful luncheon which the thoughtful sisters had provided . Tne officers were installed by Mr. Vorhees of Woodburn, who read the installation ceremonies of the order. As far as we remember the installed officers were as follows : Master, G. H. Bobbins; Overseer, R. Graham; Assistant Steward, Mrs. G. II. Robbins; Lady Assistant Steward. Mrs. Gains; Lecturer, M. Todd; Chaplain, Mrs. Todd ; Treasurer, M. Robbins ; Secretary, H. J. Robbins; Pomona, Mrs. R. Gra ham; Flora Roslyn Robbina; Ceres, Mrs. L. Woodcock. The installation was followed by ad dresses by G. R. Stevenson of Oswego. Mr. Voorhesof Woodburn and M. Todd. Their remarks were devoted to system atic farming and the subject of good roads, which was very entertaining to the farmers in general. Tbe exercises were concluded by call ing for applications for membership, which resulted in seven applications. We tbink that the moving of Boise Grange to this place will result in build ing up one of the strongest granges in this state, as its object as a social order has no equal among tbe farming class and should meet with the approbation of all farmers. Elmer Hardesty, S. 0. Watkins an N. J. HardeBty are in Oregon City attend ing the state council of the Junior 0. U. A. M.
