The deceased was an old resident of Oregon, having come to this state with her husband, Henry Souls, who has since died, in the early 'COs, and for more than 25 years she has been a well-known resident of this city. Mrs. Souls was descended from Revolutionary stock, her grandfather having been an officer in the American Army during the war of the Revolution, her father after wards participating as a surgeon In the war with Great Britain in 1812. She left a large circle of mourning friends. The surviving relatives residing in Portland are her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Mary A. Souls, and two grandchildren, "William H. and Ada T. Souls. Teachers to Be Examined. In the City Hall will be held the regular county and state teachers' examination, which will commence February 10 at 9 o'clock. This will be the first examination for some time to be hold In the City Hall, as formerly one of the public schools was used. The Park School had, as usual. been selected for the examination, but the examiners did not consider the possibility of fire. Just now the Park School Is scarcely in a fit condition for anything or tne kind, and two rooms on the third floor of the City Hall have been secured by Superintendent Robinson. The exam! nation will cover the regular courses of study In the public schools, different cer tificates being given for the state and county tests. Can't Deduct Claim for Rent. The case of C D. Smith -vs. Mary Hicks for possession of the premises at S9 Sellwood street, under the forcible entry and de tainer act, was tried before Justice of the Peace "Waldemar Seton yesterday morning. The testimony showed that no rent had been paid since January 3. 1304. The defense undertook to show that the plaintiff was indebted to the defendant's son for labor and that the amount due should be applied on the delinquent rent. J. S. Oiner, who appeared for the plain tiff, argued that such was not the law. Judge Seton coincided In this view and rendored judgment for the plaintiff. Adopt Chamber's "Wheat Standards Information was received by the Chamber of Commerce yesterday from the .London Corn Trade Association, to the effect that It has adopted the Chamber's standards of Walla Walla, red Walla Walla and blue stem wheat and Oregon barley. Thus far every place heard from has adopted the standards selected by the committee of the Chamber. The fact is looked upon as complimentary to the work of those who selected and established the stan dards. Order of Washington Voting Con test.

THE DAILY NEWS FORTY THREE YEARS AGO Compiled and Reprinted From Orego nlan of February 7, 1861. IN the Issue of February 7, 1S61, a col umn Is devoted to an editorial which is a scathing denunciation upon the "acts of our disunion misrepresentatlve in the Senate," Governor Lane. The eight years of his political career In which he "made and unmade men" at his will, were said to t have made him arrogant and caused him to believe that his rights were secured by a tenure that popular opinion would never shake. That the time was near at hand when ho was to leave office (the coming March) was heralded with joy, and it was propheslzed that his record on the question of secession "would forever end his political career. No one can defend his letter on the right of secession. He has been weighed In the balance and found wanting." An interesting description of the visit of a "fire-eater" to Mr. Lincoln is given. The fire-eater was R. D. Ray, a (11 s- unionlst from Mississippi, who wore an Immense blue cockade In his hat and who acted very sullen. In the course of the conversation, Mr. Lincoln had occasion to remark that the main difference between Northerners and Southerners Is that the former holds slavery to be wrong and op poses its further extension, while the lat ter think it right . . . and the anti-ex- tenslonists will not interfere with slavery where it exists," etc. The warlike South erner became mollified by Mr. Lincoln s kind treatment before leaving. A recent survey shows that the Colum bia may be navigated to within 12 miles of old Fort Colvllle. The mills at Warm Springs are turning out 1500 feet of lumber a day. Great fears of Indian hostilities are felt at Bitter Root Valley. An article appeared, compiled from the New Orleans Picayune, on a practical view of the separate secession of Texas and an estimate of what she had received from the Union. The citizens of Roseburg are getting up a skiff to go down the Umpqua to ascer tain the capabilities of that river for nav igation. A small fire in Captain Ankeny s smok- ing-house Is noted In the sideheads. Some $12,000 or $13,000 In war scrip sold at auction in Corvallls a few days since at 13 cents on the dollar.
