TffE 31'IXTOSH DIVORCE CASE.
JLn. Interesting Tale of Marital Woes
and Infelicities.
There is a story connected with the di
vorce suit of Lillian G. Mcintosh vs. Willis
A. Mcintosh, which has been pending In
the state circuit court for more than a
year past. The complaint was filed Janu
ary 11, 1SW. It is quite comprehensive in
its recitals of domestic infelicities and of
marital relations, which have not been
ull as described by the poet's fancy.
Mrs. Mcintosh has been alluded to in
court by her counsel as being very beauti
ful, and just at present in San Francisco.
There is also a man in the case. Mcintosh
Is a New York druggist. Their marital
woes, as detailed by the fair plaintiff, are
as follows:
She was married to Mcintosh on the 17th
of January. 1S8S, and a fruit of their union
was Ben Lawrence Molntosh, now 9 years
old. and living with his mother. Her hus
band deserted her in New York, June 23,
3830. and has not since contributed any
thing to her support or that of her child,
but has compelled her to provide for her
own necessities. During their residence in
New York, he kept company with other
women, and out of this grew a scandal,
which was published in the daily papers
and became a matter of common talk
where they were then living. In Brook
lyn, N. Y., one Elizabeth O'Brien had a
hild, and Charles Naehler, police justice,
and James J. Kenna. police justice, de
treed that Mcjntoah was responsible for
this child, and ordered him to pay $3 a
week for Its support, which he has ever
hince done. Mrs. Mcintosh alleges that
Bhe has only recently become possessed of
thls;fnforroatlon, although she previously
fc'ispected -har husband and Miss O'Brien,
whowttsa' servant,
M&nJos'hHQUs an altogether different
tale. Ue.aCitfci6jes hie wife of having insti-satwL-the
scandalous newspaper articles
which" she? complains of. He denies hav
ing to p-ty'tor the support of Lizzie O'Bri
en's child, but admits that in the year 1SSS.
rather than have a legal contest over the
matter, he effected a final settlement with
Miss JO'Brien, by paying her a stipulated
um "of money. He denies that his wife
Bias but recently been apprised of this cir
i umatanee, anu states that shortly after
Its 'oeSurrenoe' she endeavored to make
ive bffj tb?sj.ojttrp aHvorce, and consult
ed Ssnuel1 Jdhri&on, an attorney, who ad
v iseda reconciliation, which she agreed to.
n June, 23, 1890, his wife informed him
that she" wished to be separated, and wish
ed him to leave her. and threatened to
leave the house where they were boarding.
At thjs time she had become acquainted
with JJyron S. Cotes, a married man, and
on March 1, 1891, she eloped with Cotes,
soingilrsl to Dry Mills, North Carolina,
and In October, 1S92, she came with Cotes
to Portland. Or., where they now reside.
Mrs. Mcintosh has filed a denial of the
charge that she eloped with Cotes, and
claims that, to inform himself of her ac
tions, her husband hired a man named
Harry, -who came to Portland to spy upon
her actions. She claims to be residing
with 'a married sister, and that all stric
tures'upon her conduct made by her hus
band are wholly false and without foun
dation in fact. The case has been argued
everal times on a motion to compel the
payment of alimony by the defendant. A
llnal trial of the suit will doubtless soon be
1ad. It is not likely that Mcintosh will
iross the continent to make a contest.
Unhappy Couples Divorced.
Two divorces were granted by Judge
Stearns yesterday. One was Matilda J.
Rowland from W. C. Rowland. The his
tory of the case is that the parties mar

hor desertion, the plaintiff states that the
defendant manifested a fault-finding and
morose disposition, and commanded her
to leave their home and not return again.
There are two children of the marriage, a.
SHn. aged 39. and a. daughter who has
reached her majority. The business of
Rowland Is abstracting land titles and

$MS 55 due on city warrants, assigned the
bank by the Oregon Paving & Contract
Company. Two warrants, amounting to
$529 8$, are due for the improvement cf
Hood street from Hood-street bridge to
the Marquam gulch, commenced October
16, 1809. The bank holds a warrant for
$U0 for the improvement of Multnomah
street, from Grover to Curry, made in
1S91, and a warrant for $3 75 due on the
improvement of South Front street. The
complaint states that the city has not
collected from the property-owners to pay
these warrants. The bank has become
tired of waiting for this to be done, and
wants its money and interest, which will
amount to considerable for four years.

AFTER THE RAILROADS.
Big Four Sued for Xot Maintaining:
a. Blackboard Bulletin.
NEW CASTLE, lnd., Feb. 15. A state
law makes it compulsory on the part
of every railroad to post in a conspicuous
place in every station where passenger
trains stop a bulletin board, on which
must be written in chalk the time of the
arrival of every train, and, if a train
is late, how much it is behind time.
Public Prosecutor F. E. Beach, for the
county of Henry, is pressing an action
in the circuit court here against the
Big Four Company, in which he alleges
that it has violated the blackboard bul
letin 2001 times, and he sues to recover
the penalty of $25 for each violation. Of
the amount recovered he will receive one
half, the state the other half.

Railroad A'otcs.
It is said the Northern Pacific will
widen the narrow-guage line to Mission,
Idaho, and extend It from that point to
Cocur d'Alene city, Idaho, about 20 miles.
The Canadian Pacific has completed
surveys for a branch from Robson, B. C,
at the mouth of the Kootenai river, to
Northport, Wash., near the international
boundary line.
The new passenger rates went into ef
fect yesterday morning, and, as one of

learred, all the lines are standing together
with the new tariff.
GIFTS TO FOOL THE PUBLIC
The condemning of alum as an unwhole
some ingredient in baking powders by the
government authorities, as well as by
physicians generally, has not deterred
manufacturers of such powders from foist
ing them on an unsuspecting public. Fol
lowing is a partial list of the alum pow
ders found in the stores:
"Calumet." "Chicago Yeast." "Kenton."
"Grant's Bon Bon," "Hotel," "Taylor's
One Spoon." "Climax," "Snow Puff,"'
"Snow Ball." "Giant," "Milk," "Crown."
"Unrivaled." "Silver Star. " "Davis O.
2C," "Forest City." "Monarch," "K. C,"
"Loyal," "Manhattan," "Crystal," "Per
fection," "Hatchet," "Hom-," "Echo,"
"Rocket," "Town Talk," "Vienna,"
"White Rose," etc.
It Is safe to reject all brands sold with a
prise. All powders sold at 25 cents or less
a pound are sure to be made of alum.
Dr. Wiley, the government chemist, in
his official examination of baking powders
at the world's fair, threw out all "alum
powders," classing them as unwholesome.
Minneapolis Murder Trial.
MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 13. The defense
in the Hayward murder trial resumed Its
efforts today to impeach the testimony of

AB00O0RCHILDBEN
AXTI-TOUXE AXD ITS EFFICACY Ef
DIPHTHERIA.
2Vo Chance Yet to Use the Serum In
Portland, but Physicians Have
Confidence in It.
It is now some weeks since the medical
department of the Willamette university
offered a limited quantity of Bearing's
diphtheria antl-toxine to physicians free
of charge, in order that its value might
be further demonstrated. The local med
ical fraternity has been on the qui vive
for diphtheria cases, which would afford
them an opportunity to jab in a little of
the celebrated serum, but the disease,
perversely enough, has been lying very
low of late. The only case for which a
supply of anti-toxlne was requested oc
curred at Forest Grove recently. Xo re
port has yet been received from it. City
Physician Wheeler said that he had been
called to attend a case of diphtheria re
cently. In which the patient was a man,
but that the case was past the stage when
the serum should have been administered.
However, the patient was nearly recov
ered, and, as he was rather elderly, would
not have been so good a subject on which
to test the serum as a younger person.
In California the alleged remedy is re
ceiving a great deal of attention, having
been used with astonishing success in
many cases in San Francisco and other
towns. Apparently the physicians there
are beginning to think they have at last
found a specific for the disease. Not all,
however, are prepared to admit that the
scrum will do all that is claimed for it,
having had their credulity somewhat
toned down by their experience with Dr.
Koch's famous lymph. Yet the Eastern
press is full of accounts of cases wherein
the serum was used with the most favora
ble results.
This new therapeutic agent, antl-toxlne,
has been known to the medical world since
1890. Dr. Behring, of the Hygienic insti
tute, at Berlin, first described its effects
in rendering animals immunable from
diphtheria. Guinea pigs were used for the
purpose of experimental work, as it is a
-well-known fact that they are more sensi
tive to the action of diptheretic poison
than other animals. They were rendered
immune, but it was found that in order
to secure large quantities of the serum,
horses could be utilized to the best ad
vantage. Drs. Behring and Ehrlich found that by
Injecting small quantities of a virulent
poison and allowing the animal to recover
after each injection, a certain point could
be reached which could be termed toler
ance of the specific poison used, or im
munity. It was further found that this
immunity could be conveyed to other ani
mals by injecting certain quantities of se
rum derived from the blood of immune
animals, and the immunity would not only
last for some time, but would protect the
animal against affection from this one
poison, if injected. The doctors found that
this immunity applied to diphtheria, te
tanus, ricin, abrin, and vegetable poisons.
The approximate quantity of serum neces
sary to render a child immune
from diphtheria was determined by
finding just what quantity was re
quired to protect a guinea pig of a
certain weight and the quantity necessary
to protect human beings, was made in
like proportion to their weights.
The December abstract of sanitary re
ports of the United States marine hos
pital service and the January number
of the American Journal of Medical
Science, both have very elaborate articles
on Behring's antl-toxine discovery. Assist
ant Surgeon J. J. Kinyoun, of the United
States marine hospital service, who has
been making an extended Investigation cf
the subject, says in his report to the
supervising surgeon-general:
"I have been in no hurry to report on
what I have seen, nor to form an opinion
of the merits of the treatment. After
expending a month at the Pasteur in
stitute and hospital, I have seen suf
ficient to enable me to form an estimate
of its value. The results obtained by Pro
fessor Roux, of the institute, in the treat
ment of cases of diphtheria are so as
tonishing that at first one is almost com
pelled to ask one's self, 'Is this possible?'
But when the methods are known, and
the array of statistics is given, there can
hardly remain a trace of doubt. It ap
pears that at last we have found a meth
od which is not only good in one disease,
but the principle of the method can be
applied to many. It has at last opened
up a new field for work in infectious dis
eases. It has passed the experimental
stage, and will in the future be reckoned
in value for the treatment of diphtheria
as vaccine is for the prevention of small
pox." Dr. Kinyoun then goes into the details
of the preparation of the serum anti-tox-ine,
the immunization of animals, the
mode of administration, 'and other im
portant points. The doctor then con
cludes as follows:
"During my stay In Paris ample oppor
tunities have been afforded me to witness
the effects of the serum therapy in the
treatment of cases of diphtheria in the
hospital for sick infants. From my ob
servations made therein for one month
I can but corroborate the statements al
ready published. I have been able to
follow the cases from the time they en
tered the hospital until their discharge,
noting everything which has been done.
1 have tried hard to find fault, to pick
flaws in the statistics, but have signally
failed. The work must stand for Itself.
"Of the 82 cases which have come un
der my observation, three have died. The
treatment avails but little after the mal
ady has existed three or four days. It
is not possible to Immurrze the reagents
to the disease. Unfortunately, the im
munity is not of long duration. The long
est time in which it is thought to be pro
tective is six weeks. The future possibil
ities of this treatment cannot be over
estimated, as we have in the serum the
almost absolute preventive of epidemics
of diphtheria."
In a later report by Dr. Kinyoun, after
he had made a study of the treatment
at Berlin hospitals, his enthusiasm ap
pears to be slightly modified. He says:
"The anti-toxlne will never work mir
acles. It has its limit, like any other
agent, and like a perfect piece of ma
chinery, will not accomplish the full re
sults unless directed by a skilled hand.
Some persons affected with this dread dis
ease will succumb, it matters not how
soon we apply the remedy. The majority
will, however, I am sure, recover if the
anti-toxlne is given early and properly.
The remedy should be satisfactory to the
medical profession. It will, of course,
fall short of fulfilling all the requirements
demanded by the laity. It Is to be hoped
that soon every state and municipality
will take the proper steps to provide facil
ities to supply the remedy to the people,
and by judicious and timely use, to be
able to stamp out this terrible scourge,
which carries off so many thousands an
nually, rendering desolate so many
homes."

STATE HIGH SCHOOLS.
PEXDLETOX, Or., Feb. 14. (To the
Editor.) I heartily agree with much that
has been said in The Oregonian of late
about economy and retrenchment. During
the last two years business Interests of
all kinds have suffered, and In no line of
business has there been an attempt to en
large or Incur new responsibilities. Wc
have endeavored to "hold our own, noth
ing more.
But in public as well as in private busi
ness, assistance when possible to be
granted should not be withheld if by so
doing It makes a previous investment
worthless.
It has been stated at different times In
your paper that the state has many thou
sand dollars invested in her schools of a
grade higher than our public schools. To
withhold assistance from these schools
means that their -usefulness will be seri
ously crippled, if not destroyed. The
proof of this may be seen in the numerous
vacant buildings throughout the state
where attempts have been made to con
duct schools wholly dependent upon tui
tion. Many of these buildings have cost
the citizens of the towns where they are
located from $5000' to $5000 each, yet today
they are practically worthless. We have
a two-story frame, school building, also a
boarding hall. Milton another, La Grande
and Baker City each have a three-story
brick building, yet here is no school or
prospect of a school in either building",
and we may presume that the experience
of these towns is that of many other towns
or cities in the state. The normal schools
and other schools of a higher grade have
been spoken of as useless. Let us exam
ine the question. We have laws requiring
a certain amount of professional training
to practice medicine, pharmacy, law, etc.,
and no one questions the wisdom or jus
tice of such laws in the interest of public
protection. Should our laws concerning
qualifications for teaching be any the less
exacting? Since the remuneration to those
who practice other learned professions is
so much greater than is likely to come to
our public school teachers, there may be
a sufficient stimulus to those who wish
to enter the practice of law, medicine, etc.,
to obtain professional training without
state aid. But while teaching throughout
the country is so poorly paid, and the
stimulus of large remuneration is want
ing to him who seeks to fit himself for
teaching, would it not be economy to fit
our teachers at public expense? Poor
teaching is worse than no teaching.
Money paid for It is wasted. Yes. worse
than wasted; It is expended for that which
is hurtful.
Again, it is claimed that these schools
are "local" high schools.
It is true from the nature of the case
that local attendance Is larger than that
from any other portion of the state, yet
as these localities have usually donated
grounds, and in some cases buildings and
fixtures, this would not seem to be a
special privilege.
According to a statement by President
Campbell, published in The Oregonian last
August, 164 of the 217 graduates of Mon
mouth are engaged in teaching, a large
number in Oregon, while all admit that It
Is a great advaKtage to these young peo
ple to have had'this training in that it fits
them to obtaiainore lucrative employ
ment, no oneteantdenyithe-equally patent
fact that the efficiency of the schools has
been greatly increased by having in them
these trained teachers, and the same may
be said to be true of the graduates from
Weston, in this county. That school has
eight graduates teaching already. We
have one in our. city schools, and I may
add that the three highest positions in our
school are held by those who have a nor
mal school or a college education.
Lastly, a word in regard to the assertion
that these schools are patronized only by
the rich. I learn that of a class of six
graduates from Weston, last year, not one
is from a rich family, but, on the contrary,
all are struggling to get ahead in the
world bv their own unaided exertions.
The same is true of the class of 13 who ex
pect to finish the course in June next.
It may be that some abuses exist in
connection with these young state schools;
but is true economy to be found In their
destruction? S. P. STURGIS.
The whole question turns on the ques
tion, What should be the scope or the
limits of state education? The Oregonian
has often stated its views on this subject,
and need not repeat them now.
The labor question is not more import
ant than the pure food question. The
latter can always be settled by using Dr.
Price's Baking Powder.

SALEM, Feb. 15. The senatorial ques
tion is virtually at a standstill already
for the Sunday recess. Many members
are leaving tonight for committee work
outside of town, and tomorrow's roll-call
will likely show a large number of absen
tees and no changes. This morning's ex
pose of the anti-Dolph programme in The
Oregonian has created a great deal of
talk, and confirmation of Its statements
have been received from many unexpect
ed sources. Anti-Dolph leaders have wont
anxious and crestfallen looks all day, and
several of the opposition are evidently
much perplexed at the situation. The de
velopments of the next two days will be
eagerly awaited. The opposition seems to
have given up hope of electing any one,
and to be centering its energies on a dead
lock. This, of course, means an extra
session. It seems impossible that the
leaders of vhe opposition can hold their
supporters to any such extreme conclu
sion. The Joint Session.
SALEM. Feb. 15. The joint assembly
was called to order by President Simon
at 12:06. Pairs announced were Repre
sentatives Smith (Clackamas) and Rlnear
son. Representative Smith had been called
to Portland by a telegram to the bedside
of his aged father who Is quite ill.
Rlnearson was In his seat though paired.
Had it not been for this the full joint as
sembly would have been present for the
second time during the session. The sick
ones, Scott, Denny and Carter, are about
again, though Senator Denny is looking
poorly.
The democrats today voted for State
Senator James H. Raley, who Is a mem
ber of the convention. Upon its coming
his turn to vote Raley made a humorous
attack upon the democrats, accusing them
of bolting the party caucus and assever
ating that he would continue to vote for
the caucus nominee until he was ab
solved by the caucus.
Cogswell said that Raley was really the
bolter as the democrats had held a caucus
at which Raley was not present, and had
decided to vote for him. Other changes
were:
Cole and Hofer from Williams to Low
ell, Yates from Lowell to Williams, and
Curtis from Lord to Lowell.
The vote in detail was:

governor, secretary of state, and two
others by them chosen, to authorize a
series of text books and to issue certifi
cates and otherwise have control of the
educational interests of the state. Mr.
Cleeton explained the bill, and it passed
with but one negative vote.
Immediately following organization in
the afternoon the house resolved itself
into committee of the whole, with Paxton
in the chair. The first contest was over
the question of taxation of church prop
erty. Rinearson argued in favor of tax
ing all church property, and Sehlbrede,
Hofer and Burke argued that churches
were entitled to exemption for buildings
and grounds used strictly for church pur
poses. Cole's amendment received only 12
votes on division of the house, and was
defeated. Another spirited contest took
place, relative to the powers of the old
board of equalization. The committee had
reported in favor of the reinstatement
of the old board, governor, secre
tary and treasurer of state, but an amend
ment by Smith of Polk was adopted, sub
stituting the present elective board of
equalization. The reported bill makes the
county treasurer the tax-collector, but
that was knocked out, and the sheriff's
name substituted. The committee rose
and reported its work to tho house in
form of house bill 13, as amended. Per
haps the most important change recom
mended is the re-enactment of the mort
gage tax and deduction for indebtedness
law3 in this form: Property is assessed
to its owner at full value, but at the same
time said owner gives to the assessor a
list of such debts, mortgages or other
wise, as run against such property. He is
credited with the amount of such debts,
provided he sees that the tax is paid on
them.
Under the special order, house bill No.
278 came up. It provides for the purchase
of voting machines. The bill was made
a special order for Monday, at 2 P. M.
The bill of Smith of Polk, abolishing the
second judge In the third judicial dis
trict, was taken up. The following is the
vote on the final passage:

"RUSTLING" FOR COAL.
How ,ilie Drouth. SnlYerers in. Xebras
Ts.il Keep Warm.
OMAHA, Feb. 13. The Union Pacife
Jhas reduced the freight on coal $1 per ton
in Nebraska, from its "Wyoming mines, in
order that the drouth sufferers in the
western counties may be better enabled
to purchase fuel. The work of coal thieves
was a factor in having the rate reduced.
Between Kearney and Omaha five cars
of coal are lost to the company daily, and
at Valley, a coaling station on the Union
Pacific, containing 200 people, but five cart,
of coal were retained last season, and yet
everybody kept warm and had coal to
burn. Coming East last evening from
Julesburg, 13 wagons loaded with coal
were counted in a distance of 22 miles,
these wagons being loaded with coal which
had been thrown off the cars while in tran
sit between Julesburg and Brule. In fact,
this coal-stealing has become a business,
and so expert have the rustlers become
that a conviction is next to impossible. A
"rustler" gets on a coal train, say at
Julesburg, and during the night throws
off coal along the road, which is picked up
by teams between certain stations agreed
upon. The trainmen make but little ob
jection to a rustler throwing off coal,
even should they catch him in the act, for
I they realize that many families are kept
from freezing by the coal picked up along
the roadway.
