the hired girl, who awoke and turned on
the electric light, only to see a large,
lleshy man. wearing a slouch hat, stand
ing near her bed. As soon as the light
was turned on the nocturnal thief fled

night, and $110 extracted from his trous
ers pocket. A watch was left in the
trousers and the empty purse returned to
the pocket. The pants were then folded
up and left near the corner of the house

tended Aboat a Stolen Horse.
COLFAX. Wash., May 25. (Special.)
"Bob" Hamilton, alias Hofer, was arrest
ed at an jearly hour this morning at the
ranch of Dan Farley, near Kamlac butte,
on a charge of stealing a horse and sad
dle from G. M. Charles, a liveryman of'
Farmlngton, April 29. Hamilton was tak
en completely by surprise and submitted
to arrest without a murmur, nor did he
ask on what charge he was arrested. He
had Just risen from bed and gone to the
barn when Deputy Sheriff Steward, who
had driven to the ranch during the early
hours of the morning, and was hidden
near the barn, surprised him by calling on
him to surrender. 1
Hamilton was taken to the house of
Dan Farley to get his hat and coat, and
Farley attempted to prevent the officer
from taking Hamilton from the place. He
locked the door and dared the officer to
remove the prisoner. Drawing his gun,
the Deputy Sheriff told Farley to unlock
the door and step aside, under penalty of
being arrested or shot. Farley made no
further resistance, but declared the pris
oner innocent, and said: "I will swear
he was here at my farm working for me
when that horse was stolen." As the
Deputy Sheriff had not told either Farley
or Hamilton what crime was . charged
against the latter, this statement of Far
ley's is considered significant.

WALLA WALLA, Wash., May 24.
(Special) The girls In Reynolds Hall, the

very well. Yesterday, however, two of

The news spread rapidly among the girls;

committee ordered a meeting of all the
girls In the hall at 10 o'clock in the even
ing in th.e parlors of Reynolds Hall. At

ized a kangaroo court, electing a Judge,

the Sheriff sent after her. She appeared,
and there followed a long discussion. She
was tried and found guilty by a Jury ap
pointed from among her accusers. The

effect that the actloni of the dean in
breaking her own lawnullifled her Ice
cream decree, and iiA. each girl who
had refused an Invitation to eat Ice cream
on account of this decree should Immedi
ately reconsider her answer and eat the
same forthwith, and that all other girls
should at once make appointments of the
same nature. The dean is silent on the
subjecttoday, only saying that the mat
ter will be appealed to the faculty, and
that in the meantime her former decree
will be In full force and effect.

FREE DELIVERY AT THE DALLES.
Council Promises to Be Ready for
. It by July 1.
THE DALLES. Or., May 25. (Special.)
Special Postal Agent Irving arrived in
The Dalles this morning to Inaugurate the
city mall delivery which ex-Representative
Moody had authorized by the department
before Congress adjourned, to begin June
1. The special agent found thta not only
the houses were not numbered, but the
names of the streets were not yet posted.
Until this is done, the establishment of
delivery cannot be recommended, not
withstanding the fact that the Postolfice
Is ready with its carriers and other equip
ment to begin on June 1. The delay seems
to be due to the nonaction of the City
Council, which has been apparently In
different about Incurring the necessary
expense of posting the names on the street
corners, together with numbering the
houses. The special agent was at first
disposed to defer establishment of the
service until September 1. the begin
nlng of the next quarter, but. upon the
urgent request of Mr. Moody and the
promise of the City Council to act at
once upon the department s requirements.
he will recommend the establishment for
July 1.

"The Osaka Exposition is a model ex

Japan may well be proud. All the fine arts

lacquers and silk on exhibition. Another

are gathered machines and other things
which the Japanese have learned to man
ufacture through their contact with the
Europeans."
Dr. Eliot s purpose In going to Japan
was to visit the Unitarian mission -at
Toklo.
"The Unitarian mission at Toklo was
founded some 13 years ago," eald Dr.
Eliot. Four years ago we turned It over
to the care of the native members of the
church and they have had charge ot It
ever since. The parent church, however,
Is still interested In the mission and oc
casionally sends some one over to visit
it. Recently the workers in charge of
the mission have asked the church to ap
propriate more funds for the extension of
the work. This extension will be among
the students of Toklo, whose quarters
are some distance from the present mis
sion. There are many thousand stud
ents in Toklo and those In charge of the
mission saw the opportunity to make a
profitable extension."
"Are the Japanese students more In
clined to conversion than the average
American student. Dr. Eliot?"
"I cannot say, for I was brought in con
tact only with those among them who
were already Interested in the work of
the mission. As to the average student
in the Japanese universities, I know
little, for to talk with them was like
speaking with a sack over the head. I
couldn't understand them and they
couldn't understand me. English is taught
In the universities, however, and the stud
ents are rapidly learning it. In fact, the
great need In Japan now is for Japanese
who are competent to teach English. Our
language Is also taught In all the high
schools and the government has had
great difficulty in procuring men who
1 were actually competent to teach English.
