"A bite inflicted with the teeth of a pretty girl is in many cases likely to be more injurious than the bite of a deadly serpent," said Professor W. D. Miller of the University ot Berlin, Germany, at a meeting of the students and faculty of Wesley an University, which he addressed today. Dr. Miller is a noted Ger man scientist who has made a spe cial study of the mouth and alimen tary canal, lie said that, he esti mated the number of . bacteria in the human mouth at 2,700,000,000 and that among them were forty- two distinct disease-producing mi cro organisms. In tbe mouths of women, and particularly in the sweet rosebud lips of the. 'stately Gibson, type cf girls, lurk bacteria which are deadly if the blood be comes inoculated with them. Io Germany only recently the professor experimented with the ea liva from a beautiful girl,: and an animal's bead dipped in the . solu tion prod ucsd a quicker' and - more horrible death than those' dipped iri the venom of serpents. The danger c f he bite of the gi 1 is fa r greater than that ot a dog, .he de clared, for the bicterii which are on the teeth ar- more deadly and more pernicious than 'those which are on the teeth ot a caDine.. A lit tle of the saliva from -the mouth of almoet any pretty girl inected in to the blood ot an animal will: pro duce terrible throes which will end in death. Dr. Miller was of the opinion that if tbis fact about the . bacteria in girls' mouths was only general ly known, it would be possible for tbem to travel alone nights without being molested, for in her teeth tbe girl has a weapon more to be dread ed than the faogs of a cobra. rich, showing an average of about 70 psi cent, which is a much high er re-centagc than is found in the rrines of the Lake Superior region. The d;scovery made by Dr. Day has created widespread interest on the Pacific Slops, and its commer cial importance can only be eeti- maed by the results which are bound to come, Already there is a movement to erect a number of concentrating plants, and that sec tion of the country will, I think, in time bu' one of the greatest centers of ironjtaduetry." - 4 Buite, Moot.

B. j Warner, superintendent of the pub lic schools of Tacoma, and L. L. Bsnbow, county superintendent of schools, are making vain Bearch for teachers capable of handling all grades of work. The schools of tbe city are fairly well equipped with teachers, but in the county two of the pubHc institutions have been closed since the opening of the fall term because of the inability of the directors to secure teachers. That there is an alarming lack of good schoolteachers not only in Tacoma and Pierce county but elsej where is shown by numerous re- . quests received by educators here for teachers from other cities and counties io the s'ate., . Ellensburg could use four teachers to advan tage; King county could use treble that number, if they were able, and Skagit, Snohomish, Lewis and oth er counties are making vain efforts to fill in vacancies caused by lack of suitable teachers. That the situation is serious is admitted by both superintendent Warner and Superintendent Ben- bow. Call at Zeirolf's for fresh grass seed, timothy, clover, alfalfa, vetch.

A dispatch to the Record-Herald, from .Washing ton says: : Secretary Shaw and Col lector Stratton, of the Port of San Francisco, have bad a load of trou ble for several weeks about which tbe public has known nothing, and it was lifted- yesteiday when the secretary was told by President Roostvrlt to collect the legal duty on all dutiable articles . brought back to tbis country by . Miss Alice Roosevelt. . The total : duty is ex pected to, reach Deal ly $6o,roD. The daughter of the president has received during her. trip to tbe Phil ippines, China, Tapan and .Cqrea many pretty and some quite valua ble presents. Some of the custams officers suggested Miss Roosevelt ought to be allowed : to bring the valuables in duty free, inasmuch as she was trea'ed with . all. tbe honors of a princess and did much to ce ment friendship between the Unit ed S a tea and foreign countries. The belongings of crowned, heads, of royalty and diplomats are always admitted free ot duty into the Unit ed states. - i ! . Secretary Shaw, received, sugges tions until he was almost sick.. The presents are probably worth $loo,ooo and if the usual rate of duty was imposed it wo old costMiss Roosevelt or her father upwards of 60 percent, or $60,000. Neither; Miss Roobo velt or her father is riqh, although the young woman is understood to have a modest fortune in her own right. .Finally Secretary Shaw took his burden to the president and told him about it, - "There is only one thing to do," replied the president. "That is to treat my daughter's baggage as you would the baggage of any ether pri vate person. She will pay duty on everything that is dutiable." complicity in the murder of husband No. 1. fShe lived alternately with husband No. 2 and husband No. 3 at homes a few blocks apart. And yet she' declares her innocence of tbe charges against her and says it is all a conspiracy to rob her of a fortune, Mrs. Lorna Ville Hunter Wal- bridge-Melville-Northey was born in Nebraska in 1886 but maintains that her birth place is Brighton-on the-Sea, Lancashire, , England, and that her parents were George Mel ville and Florence B-mette Mel ville, whose maiden name was Lady Florence Baroette Severn. She claims that her family is a wealthy one and that a brother is now en route from Liverpool with ample funds to clear her of the charge of bigamy! In i890 Lorua Ville Hunter met and married Hiram Otis Walbridge near Missoula, Montana, Although but 14 and her lover but 18 years of age, they were deeply in love with each other .and eloped twice before they succeeded in having the nontial knot tied. In a short time the child, wife tired of the anion and told her father that Walbridge beat and abused her, causing bad blood between them. A few days later Hunter and Walbridge went into the woods to gether, but Hunter returned alone There was considerable excitement at the time bat it was not until 18 months later that a number of bones were found in a lonely gulch Thb mother of Walbridge recogniz ed certain patches she bad put on the garments and identified the bones as those of her son. Hunter was traced with much difficulty and landed in jail for the crime. Io the meanwhile Mrs. Walbridge had met and married George Mel ville. who admits that he knew of her past life, but was : extremely sorry for the young widow and gieatly taken with her pretty face and girlish figure. Mrs. Melville's evidence sent her' father to the pen itentiary. ' He claims that she per jured herself and that Walbridge is still alive and will bs heard from eome day. The young couple came to Butte three months ago and she met Har ry Nortbey at a dance, where she represented herself bb an unmarried woman. She introduced Melville aid Northey at the dance and later told Northey that Melvillelwas her "Uncle George." Early in S.-ptember she showed Melvuie a neantitul white gown, picture hat, dainty lingerie, and other accessories and told him that one of her friends was to be married and that she was to be the maid of honor. She stated ' thst the wed ding festivities would extend into me night and that she would re main at her friends home. She ob tained permission to be absent, but instead of maid of honor, Mrs Mel viile was the bride. Cut rates on pianos! You have heard of cut prices on groceries, but cut prices on pianos, how is it possible you ask. lhat is just it. Before such a thing could be effect ed there must have been a combin ation of very unusual conditions. In tbe first place it means buy ing in largequantities, getting out of the small way of doing business. It means the cutting out of every useless and unnecessary expense. It means the shipment of pianos without boxes in special cars which saves big Bums on freight charges. Then it means th'. selling of pi anos so excellent and satisfactory, that the pnblic demands them. We have accomplished just these things. We buv for the largest and busiest stores on the Pacific Coast, in Portland, Astoria, Salem, Pendleton and Eugene, Ore; San Francisco, Stockton and Oakland, Cal.; Sfobane, Seattle and Walla Walla, Wash.; Boise and Lewiston, Idaha. We buy the best pianos that money can secure. It we went all over the world with hundreds of thousands of dollars to spend on pianos, it would be impossible, "ab solutely impossible to get better pi anos than we have to sell, simply because we have the best that iuon ey can buy, Chickering, Websr, Kimball and others, over thirty makes in all. We have placed the selling of "ur pianos in the hands of .Prof. Tail landier, bead of the ' piano deprt ment of the Oregon Agricultural College. Prof. Taillandier's entire reliability and excellent judgment are well known to the people of this vicinity. Piano buyers will doubt less be glad of lbs opportunity to consult him in regard to their . se lection of a piano. He will be more than pleased so give you all the information dt sir ed and can be seen at his residence on College Hill on Saturdays and every evening of the week..

Bribes the Little Fel low With Cake to Undress and Go to Bed Dora Jasper Admits That She Slew Her Father Oth News. New York, O.t. 21. Mentally deranged since the death of her hus band, a year ago, one of the oldest clockmakers in the city, Mrs. Car oline Decber, 40 years of age, to day undreesed her son JoEeph, 13 years old, put him to bed, turned on the gas, pulled down the shades at the windows, and knelt by the side of the bed and awaited . death. Her home was at the rear of the fourth floor of an apartment house 1101 Third avenue. . . . Two hours later her son, Barnard, after pounding on the door , of : the apartment, on returning .home for luncheon from a store in the neigh borhood, where he is employed, bnrst in the door and found his mother dead, stretched out on : the floor by the side of the bed. His little brother was also dead. By tbe side of her dead son the u.other had placed the certificate of her first communion and confession, issued in Germany in i8?8;'and in his band she had placed a Catholic picture bearing a colored picture of St. Matthews, which bore the fol lowing quotation: , "Ha that shall teach shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. Blessed Albertus Magnus." Standing on end juet above her own bead as she lay on tbe floor, was a little glass-covered mahoga ny cabinet containing a green-wax cross which had been placed on the casket of her husband. On the ta ble of the dining room of the little apartment the mother had left a note to her daughter, Emilys api 14, who also is employed in a cigar factory. It was as follows: "Dear Emily: I have taken Joseph. You and Bernard can take care of yourselves. I am at fault. My children are innocent of any wrong-doing. My son Barnard is a good boy and earns an honest liv ing. I dearly love my . boy Josie and cannot leave him behind. I am taking all npon my own re sponsibility. "MOTHER." The mother bad undressed part ly before turning en the gas. Ac cording to neighbors tbe mother went to the street to find her little eon at 11 o'clock. She took him t ) a back shop and bought a square of a cake of a sort of which he was fond and half a dozen crullers. To gether they returned to their home. On the table by tbe side of the note was found the remnants of the cake and a few of the crullers. It is believed by the police that the mother bribed the little fellow with the cake to undress and go to bed and that she waited . until he was asleep before sbe opened the gas jet. After he had taken one horrified glance at the bodies, Bernard Decb er rushed out of the bonse and -found Policeman Bauer of the East Sixty-seventh street station. An ambulance call to tbe Presbyterian hospital was sent in but the surgeon could do nothing. While the horror-stricken son was absent his sis ter reached the house. On his re turn .they threw themselves over the bodies of their mother and brother. The policemen in charge bad to lift tbem from the bodies. . Her son, Bernard, half crazed with grief, was refused permission fto stay at borne for the day but had to remain at work. Grant's Pass, Or., Oct. 21.
