SEATTLS, Wash., Jan. 7. (Special)
In spite of .the fact tha$ tH8 last Legisla
ture passed k jzw miking gambling lri
this state a felony, faro bank Is being
dealt more or less openly in at least ttvo
gambling-bouses in Ibis fcity, .while in
numerable blackjack games have beeh
opened. The passage of the felony law,
which was cohllderttly expectEd to end
gambling for all time, hail the immediate
effect of catisln? an exodus bf the gam
bling fraternity to other fields -where the
restrictions and penalties were less se
vere; The revival of open gambling here, made
possible Toy public indifference, has found
the proprietors of the houses without a
sufti6lfcrit number of dealers to handle the"
cainea. -Orders arid transpo'rtatibri hive
heen hurriedly sent to Ihelr bld-tlme em
ployes, and every train is bringing back
members of the sporting fraternity to All
the vacant places at the gaming- tables.
The failure" bf the Law to prevent gm
Mlhg is ascribed largely to the fact that
the penalty provided Is too severe. As a
general rdle public sentiment seems lo bo
against the placing of a man in Jail be
cause he beta money upon the turn of a
card, and no agitation SWms likely to be
made against the daring gamblers who
ar6 taking' a- chance of going to the peni

TEACH CHILDREN ETIQUETTE.

Who think they can see" whys lh which
It can be Improved by the addition of
one rilore subject. Alex M. Jess; bf Wild
trvlile, Josephine County, has written
Superintendent of Public Instruction J. H;
Ackerman a letter bf length, In which ho
ftdvlses that the rules of etiquette be
taught
rife saj-s that a largS number of chil
dren receive rib instruction in gobd man
hors at homc and that the doming gen
eration promises to "be Ignorant of the
ordinary civilities of life. Among other
fpecitic complaints he has to make, is
this:
-There are young ladies in every part
bf tnls land who will meet their gentlemen
schoolmates and pass th6hi by without
any sign of acquaintance arid haVe ho
cause whatever for such negligence."
. Zlr. Jcs does not censure parents t'bY
lalllrig to teach their children good man

young. It is to future generations that
he looks for good results, arid If the
boys and girls of today can be taught to
observe the rules of etiquette "the art bf
snubbing will become extinct."
The earnestness with which Mr. Jess
presents the subject to the Department
of Education la ahown by the fact that
he asks that his letter be published. Su
perintendent Ackerman has replied that
he believes that children should be taught
to be courteous to each other and to
older persons but he thinks this can
beSt be. aone by oral instruction as occa
sion may require, rather than by the
adqptlon of -this subject aa a branch of
study in the common-school course.
GOES AFTER "BRICK" JOHNSON
Wallowa Sheriff Has Also a Private
Grievance Against Man.
LA GRANDE, Or., Jan. 7. (Speclal.)
Sherlff J. C. Shakelford, of Wallowa
County, passed through the city last night
on the war to Binings, Mont, after
"Brlok" Johnson, -who la wanted in that
county for various offenses. It seems that
Johnson is considered a bad man In Wal
lowa County, but thus fa? has escaped
prison, and has been seHdusly wounded
at different times by officers who were In
pursuit of him.
His last offense was that of holding up
the Sheriff of Wallowa County and the
City Marshal of Enterprise, exchanging
several shots with the officers, and empty
ing his six-shooter Into the Sheriff's house
as he rode out of town.
The Sheriff sent descriptions out over
the county, and Tecelved word from the
filacers at Billings that they bad his man.

Thefts Run Up to $50,000.
OAKLAND. Jan. 7. William A. Mc
Kowen. the defaulting secretary of the
board of regents of the University of Cal
ifornia was held to answer In the Supe
rior Court this morning by Justice of the
Peace Qulnn. The accused man offered
no defense In the preliminary examina
tion, and seemed to be anxious only to
have It all over. Although he has an at
torney. H. M. Wright It Is expected, that
he wll make no defenso when he comes to
trial, but will plead guilty and take his
sentence. Justice Qulnn fixed the pris
oner's ball at $20,000. As McKowen has
no friends to raise such an amount, he
Will have to remain in Jail.
Only one offense was named In the
charge on which McKowen was held to
answer. That as the emberrlement of
$3315 placed In his charge by Mrs. Phebe
A. Hearst as a part of the funds for the
support of the department of anthropoid
ogy in the university. This represents
only a small part of the secretary's total
defalcation, but It has been selected as
the basis of the prosecution. The amount
of his misappropriation so far discovered
by the experts who are. going through
the university's books now passes $50.0000.

horse held at the side of the road by Its
driver he had no Teason to believe that
ths horsa -would break away if he pro

nothing except what he had a right to do,
A6 crime had been committed, and the
charge was dismissed.
HURT WAS .NOT FpATHEHED.
JUst Why Holy Roller Cdriverf Es
eaped Is a Mystery
CORVALLIS. Or:, Jan. 7. (Special.)
.Reports are current on. the streaf
that Frank Hurt of the Holy Roller
sect was held up by a crowd of citi
zens Tuesday night and that for a time
It was the plan to deal in the flame
manner with him that Crefiield, and
Brooks -were handled. There is so
much secreey connected with the affair
that It Is impossible to arrive at tho
details.
That several men took possession of
Hurt is practically" known to be true.
That they took him to the same spot
a quarter of a mile north of the city
limits, where Crefiield ahd Brooks were
tafrnd and feathered, is also known.
The" Uncertainty In the matter Is what
happened there. Ono report is that
Hurt tvas ordered to disrobe and that
he refused to do so; that he told his
captors that they might take his
clothes Oft if they wanted to, but that
he would not
It Is also stated that he seoured pos
session of a club and proposed to de
fend himself, and that a truce" resulted.
Another story Is that Hurt mad6 prom
ises to be less demonstrative -In his
connection with the Holy Rollers, and
that as a result he was permitted to
gO undisturbed. That tar and feathers
was- not administered Is" conceded to be
true.
Concerning the whereabouts of
Brooks nothing is kjiown. So far as
Can be ascertained, th& last seen of him
was about 11 o'clock the night of Mon
day, when, after the 'tar and feather
affair, he left his captives, going in a
northerly direction on. the Albany road.
He was then clad In the feathers, and
over the suit wore his usual habili
ments. It is1 the commonly accepted belief
that the end of Holy Rollerlsm. as
lately manifest. Is at an end In this
community. Several persons of tho
gentler sex In particular who have
been enthusiastic In the faith, have ar
ranged, It Is freely asserted, to abide
hereafter at home and not to- seek fur
ther after religion after the manner
of Brooks and Crefiield. The general
lack of condemnation of the tar and
feather affair, and so many outspoken
expressions of approval, have shown
a drift or public sentiment that can
not be misunderstood. It Is altogether
likely that Corvallis Is not to be dis
turbed again with the sensations in Its
religious world that have made the
town so prominent during the last few
weeks.
Reports here that vannot he con
firmed are to the effect that Mr, ana
Mrs. Crefiield. after their marriage or
Tuesday at Albany, returned to the
Beach house for a brief time, and then
were taken by Frank Hurt to Tangent,
seven miles to the eastward, where
they took a Southern Pacific train for
an unknown destination. - - -

Walla Walla Land Office Report.
WALLA WALLA, Wash., Jan. 7.
The annual report of tho Wajla Walla
District Land Office for 1903 was made
yesterday, showing a total of $102,
071.69 received from the handling of
public lands." The number of acres of
land involved was 143,226.91. The total
number of acres In the Walla Walla
Land Office District Is 4,936,800. The
detailed report follows:
Entries Acres. Amounts.
995 homestead 119,226.91 ; 18.927.32

Totals .,1.., 176,752.50 $102,071.59
The number of acres of land handled
Is from 25,000 to 75,000 less than have
been handled annually for the past
three years", the rapid disappearance of
homesteadable territory being: respon
sible. Relinquishments of homesteads
previously filed on constitute quite a
percentage of the 1903 business, and
but for this the figures would probably
have fallen much lower in proportion
to 1902, 1901 and 1900 than they did.

NERVOUSPEOPLE
SOMETHING YOU OUGHT TO
KNOW.
"No nerves and never Irritable." This
Is what our well-known druggists, Wood
ard, Clarke & Co.. say people report after
taking Vinol. "It Is remarkable," said
Mr. Woodard to the editor of The Ore
gonlan, "how many people buy sedatives
and all sorts of opiates to qufet and
deaden the nerves, when they are weak
ening their entire nervous system by do
ing so.
"Nerve troubles are easily cured," con
tinued Mr. Woodard. "It Is simply a case
of treating the general weakness, not the
nerves alone, and that Is just what Vinol
does In the most direct and simple manner
possible. It cures nerve troubles because
It builds one up and makes one strong
all over. It Invigorates the entire nervous
system, makes new blood and vitality.
"Vinol contains no drugs, and you know
what you are taking simply the medic
inal curatives found In cod liver oil dis
solved In a, delicious table wine, and a
little organic- Iron added. It Is fast super
seding Old forms of cod liver oil and
emulsions because It Is so delicious to the
taste and has such marvellous vitalizing
power."
Such letters as the following prove
what Vinol will do: Mrs. Elizabeth
Richards, of 32 K. 3Iontcalm street
Detroit Mich., writes: "I was very -weak
and suffered from nervous prostration,
tried all sorts of medicines without relief.
I have now taken four bottles of Vinol,
and It has brought back my health and
strength."
Miss Lizzie Leary, of Burlington. Vt,
says she was a nervous wreck, and Vinol
restored her to perfect health.
Miss Edythe M. Perry, of St Paul,
Minn., says Vinol cured her of nervous
ness and Insomnia.
And so we might go on quoting from
hundreds of just such letters; and it Is
for thin reason that we say to every
nervous, run-down and debilitated person
in Portland, try Vinol, .and If It does- not
Cnro you, come back and get your money.
