Osrins; to the early closing of most all business concern on Saturday, only I100O In collections was) reported to Treasurer Van Schuyrer of the Ek' 1J1S carnpalm fund yesterday, but be announces that several committees that have not yet reported at all hare In formed him of their Intention to file eomplete reports on Monday. The subscriptions turned In to the treasurer yesterday represent, with few exceptions, a ood portion of the Jewel ers dolnc business In Portland, and this committee Is dolns; excellent work In the canvass. In alL partial reports have been heard from :S of M committees, the remainder having delayed makln any report other than to announce that they were making fine progress. Full Amount Kipted. It seems that several committee chairmen failed to understand the Idea of reporting dally subscriptions. saia He'nrT E. Reed, secretary of the general committee yesterday, "and I believe they are holding back until they have miJ a complete canvass of their districts. While 1 am quite certain that these com mittees have d.ne splendid work. 1 should have liked to have them report dally progress, as It helps the campaign considerably. There Is no doubt In my mind that the amount desired will ! forthcoming when the figures are all in and the tntals are ascertained. Tor every committeeman has been In structed to wind up his canvaes In time to report at the meeting of the general committee to be held next Wednesday or Thursday." . Aa the I'ortland rT.ks deMre to make the convention Int.nctly a Portland affair, offers of oui.ii.le aid so far received have been acknoa llged with thanks and cour teous reviles have been sent, saying that as soon as the Portland canvass Is con cluded live lodsvs which have offered kl will be Informed of the desires of Portland lodge. During the four days the Hk have been canvassing nearly 3.M has been reported. Tl Is has been contributed by shout half of tf-e committee at work. Not one committee has made a com plete canvais. as all of the solicitors are business men. Contention Hall Not Lacking. That there will be an ample convention ball is awured. The Heillg Theater, ohich has already been engaged con flntvnt upon the coming of the grand kj.Ue. Is commodious enough to house the seealon. as there will be only 1 voting membeiw of the grand lodge, and the galleries will accommodate spectators f the ceremonies when the general public a.lmtued. Not all of the fclae coming to the grand lodge reunion attend the rMions. for they are out for a good time and to see the sights. Secretary Keed will soon Issue notices f the meeting of the general committee and all of the subcommittees are ex pected to complete their canvasses by that lime. The subscriptions filed with the treas arer up to lor night are as follows: Prvtooslr arlinwl-dd " U C. u-nrwhsD Co 'SI. K Am..m r. Abn.lroth .IT'S 3. H.likmt-r o. f '? rT a. a c Ki.'.ohinr ...

Rubin In the search for a portion of the Jewelry stolen from Rubin's Washington-street jewelry store last Tuesday by William Johnson and H. S. Duplelase and thrown by them, according to their confession. Into the river below the Steel Bridge. The robbers say that the jewelry thus disposed of was of little value, and In this they are sustained by a comparison of the goods stolen with those recov ered. Largely from curiosity, however. It was decided to have Brady make a search, which he commenced yesterday. Fully per cent of the stolen Jew elry has been recovered and Is now held by the police as evidence against the two robbers and their accomplice. Mac Donald. Certain unset gems ' which were listed by Mrs. Rubin as lost are found not to have been taken by the thieves. In a further search of the quarters occupied by the prisoners before their arrest, two black masks were found yesterday, tending to confirm the evi dence at hand that tbey were engaged In highway robbers. The masks are being held aa evidence. Toung Duplelsss told the detectives yesterday that he is an actor, among his many other professions, atjd that he had a speaking part In "Sweet Kitty Bellalres" when It was presented at the Baker Theater recently. MUTUAL PLAN SUGGESTED Lumber Men Discuss Carrying Own Liability Insurance. At the monthly meeting of the Oregon-Washington Lumbermen's Associa tion yesterday afternoon question arose as to the practicability of organizing ai lumbermen's liability insurance com pany, to avoid the casts charged by private liability Insurance companies. It waa asserted that since the adop tion by the people of the present law, the companies had advanced rates from e i (0 cents to fZ.2S, or mora than 300 per cent. Chairman Keating of the committee on liability law pending before the Legislature. recommended that the lumbermen organize a company of their own and that assessments be levied for losses as they were Incurred. He believed that this would cost leas than the present charge, which he regarded as excessive and as more than the in dustry could bear. It would permit the lumbermen to settle their own cases or flgbt them, as seemed best. Under the present arrangement the companies have absolute control and contest cases, even when it Is the Judgment of the lumbermen that It Is proper to settle, the speaker said. No definite action was taken. Mr. Keating announced that he was convinced that at the next election two measures would be submitted one for liability Insurance and another for pensions for old age. He was told at Salem, he said, that W. a U'Ren and certain labor leaders had such meas ures under consideration and that they would be prepared for submission at the next election. BABE THOUGHT STARVED DOCTOR AND MIDWIFE , ARE WATCHED BY DETECTIVES. Finding of Body on Peninsula, for Second Time Witliln Few Months, Subject of Inquiry. Child murder, with indications of wholesale operations, is suspected by the authorities from the discovery of the body of a little girl on the Penin sula yesterday morning. It Is the second occurrence of the kind wtthln a few months. A physician and a midwife of the neighborhood are under Investiga tion. While walking through the brush In the neighborhood of Detroit and A Ins worth streets yesterday. W. F. Dickens, of 10 Denver avenue, and John Westby, of 1311 Denver avenue, saw a bundle ljr tng under a stump, and found that it th Kodv nf a child. Ther left their discovery as it was and Informed the Coroner, wno too: cnarge oi m body. .The fully -developed body of a boy child, apparently several days old, was IOUI1U, v. . -j ... ' " The body was dressed in underwear of the finest quality, sucn as is worn umj by the children of the rich. Indications ... , .k. ....nieinn that the child was exposed alive and was allowed to starve to death. Coroner Norden directed County De tective Maher to 'nvestigate. and Maher In turn has applied to Captain of De tectives Moore for assistance. Maher pronounces the case one of murder and has outlined a course of investigation which may lead to Indictments. Only a few weeks ago the Coroner took charge of the body of a child found In the same locality, having died of um bilical . hemorrhage resulting from im proper attention at birth. The footprints of a woman were discovered in the soft ground where the body was laid, but they could be traced only a short dis tance. Klamath Falls Seeks Recognition. KLAMATH FALLS. Or.. Feb. 18.

"As high a proportion as 40 per cent or over of modern school children are pronounced backward In physical and mental qualities. Child suicide and general Insanity are both mathemati cally in proportion to the number or hours of study demanded. 'The morality of the matter appears In the biography of De Quincey. whose opium-eating was due to his eye-strain. Darwin was always on the edge of de spair, and In middle life he made his will. In view, as he thought, of ap- Sroachlng death. Carlyle often shud ered at the apparent uselessness and fatigue pf life, and the advisability of death. Throughout his life Carlyle had what are commonly called "theater headaches.' A great many people nowadays cannot attend banquets, balls, concerts and theatrical perform ances without disastrous effects to head aeM nerves. When Carlyle went to a party he invariably returned with headache and shattered nerves, snd vowing never to do such a foolish thing '"Wagner was constantly tempted to suicide, and at one time resolved upon It. Whlttier. Xltrsch, Wagner, all were convinced In youth or mid-age t h a t their lives had been lived out. and that nothing was left to do. And all this due to eye-strain. The peculiar nature of eye-strain, the rapidity with which it produces morbid reflexes and Is relieved, easily explains the facts of the co-existence and alternation of exhaustion and Irri tation. They are mere aspects of. one neural and psvchlo fact. I am con vinced that Nltzsch died as the direct result of eye-strain. Defective vision rendered the others too weak to suc cessfully resist the terrible disease that finally swept them away. "In varying admixtures and degrees the symptoms of our eye-strain patients are headache, insomnia, biliousness, sick headache, nervousness, dejection. Indescribable suffering. Inability to do literary or other 'near work without producing t""1 symptoms, and relief from the symptoms whenever, even for a few hours, 'near work is stopped. An unseen and malignant enemy or fatality seems seated above them or at the very heart of their being. In placa ble and Inexplalnable.
