STORY OF ETHEL GILLIAN.
William Gray, of Palome City, Vouches
tor Its Truth.
Walls Walla, Jan. 19. William
Gray, of Palouee City, who is in Walla
Walla undergoing medicinal treatment,
recently told the Statesman the story of
Ethel Gilliam, a girl who lives with
her parents ten miles east of Palouse.
The family is poor but honest and reli
able, the parents being devout mem
bers of the Methodist Episcopal church.
Last August this little girl was taken
ill, and after three weeks, apparently
died, so the story goes. For three
hours she had every appearance of
death. She then slowly revived, but
was totally blind. She told her pa
rents that she had been in heaven and
seen Jesus and the angels and many
friends who had gone before. There
she saw a tree of life and a river of
life. There were little children in the
tree eating the fruit. Each inhabitant
wore a crown bearing his or her name.
The little girl saw a crown with her
name on it, hanging up, and reached
for it, but Jesus told her she would
have to go back to earth and fulfill her
mission. He wanted her to teach his
people.
Although blind this girl can read by
passing her fingers over the printed or
written page, and can describe persons
whose pictures were handed to her.
The latter power was first discovered
by J. B. Cawthorn, a photographer,
whose mother lives in Walla Walla.
He told the marvelous story to a Sun-1
day school in Palouse City, and Mr.
Gray and wife, hearing it, drove out to
the home of the girl to see for them
selves. Mr. Gray first handed the sick
girl his watch, and she told him that it
was a gold watch, and the time of day,
by passing her fingers over the glass.
To make sure that her power was gen
uine, a paper was held between her
face and a photograph that Mr. Gray
handed to her, and she described the
picture perfectly as that of an old gen
tleman with gray whiskers, wearing a
dark suit and oravat. She read f rom
books and papers handed to her by the
use of her fingers.
Mr. and Mrs. Gray tell many other
wonderful things in relation to this
child. She has now been ill 100 days,
and has not been ablo to digest any
food.
As references for the truth of the
story, Mr. Gray gave he names of
Rev. A. Y. Skee, pastor of the S. M.
E. church, of Palouse; . Rev. J. G.
Kerrick, of La Grande, , Or.; H. A.
Gray, Thomas Cox and J. B. Caw
thorn, of Palouse.

Earthquake In Oakland.
Oakland, Cal., Jan. 19. An earth
quake this afternoon was productive of
a remarkable scene at the Tenth-avenue
Baptist church. Rev. C. M. Hill, the
pastor, was just closing an eloquent
sermon. Just as he asked the congre
gation in an impressive manner what
account they would render of their
stewardship, the building began to
quake until it seemed that the roof
would fall in. In a moment all was
confusion. Some of the congregation
ran for the doors; others fell on their
knees to pray, while others, with faces
pale,stood waiting for what seemed to
many to be certain death. Deaoon Jo
seph Plaw attempted to calm the asem-
blage. He asked why there should be
fear, if they had heeded the words of
their shepherd, and were ready for the
end. He said that they should rejoice
if the end came and found them pre
pared. The speaker quickly restored
quiet, and when he had finished, all
joined in prayers of thanskgiving.
Dervishes on the Move.
Rome, Jan. 19. Massowah advices
are to the effect that a body of Der
vishes, believed to be the advance
guard of the entire Dervish forces, has
entered the Kedaref district, and is
moving on Agordat. The Italian gov
ernment is concentrating all the troops
available near Agordat, which is well
defended -
Cleaned Out a Town.
Perry, O. T., Jan. 19. Late last
night robbers took in the town of New
kirk, north of here. Saloons were rob
bed of all the money and quantities of
whisky and beer. Residences were en
tered and many things were taken out.
The officers think the robbers came
into town yesterday under the guise of
tramps. Five tramps were arrested
here yesterday for highway robbery.
They are supposed to be members of an
organized gang.

LAND FOR EVERYBODY.
The Free Bomeetead Bill Hat ranaed
the Senate.
Washington, Jan. 16. The sortate
today passed the measure known as
the free-homestead bill, which has been
under discussion since the holday re
cess. It is a measure of far-reaching
importance, particularly to the West
ern states, and the interest in it was
Bhown by the fact that a plank concern
ing it was a feature of the several na
tional platforms. The effect or1 the
bill is to open to settlement au the
pnblio lands acquired from Indians,
free of payment to the government, be
yond the minor office fees, and to re
lease from payment those who have
heretofore settled on those lands. The
number of acres involved, according to
an estimate made by the commissioner
of the general land office, is 83,207,541,
which would have yielded the govern
ment, at the prices heretofore estab
lished, $35,848,006. To offset this
statement it was brought out during
the debate that the lands were mainly
arid and that those who had settled
upon them were unable to make pay
ment by reason of the scanty products
of the soil. The Western senators in
the main favored the bill as an exten-1
sion of the general homestead policy of !
the government. The opposition was j
direoted mainly by Piatt of Connecticut j
and Vilas. As the bill passed in the j
house it covered only lands acquired ,
from Indians in Oklahoma but as j
passed today the bill inoludes all In-'
dian lands. The final vote taken by ,
agreement at 4 P. M., showed a decisive j
majority in favor of the measure.
Following the dispoisiton of thifeitt; j
which had held the advantageous posi- j
tion of the unfinished business of the
senate, Morgan sought to have the Nica- j
rauga canal bill made the unfinished j
business. This precipitated a vote I
whioh to some extent was a test of
strength of the bill itself. On Mor
gan's motion to take up the bill, the
vote was 83 to 6, or less than a quorum,
so the motion did not prevail, although
it disclosed the strenght of the measure.
During the day Morgan secured the
adoption of a resolution for an inquiry
by the judiciary committee as to
whether the properties of the Union
Pacific and Central Pacific companies
now belong to the United States, by
reason of alleged defaults in payment
of bonds.
A resolution by Cullom, calling on
the oivil service commission to explain
the delay in making annnal reports,
was adopted.
Grout Bill In the House.
Washington, Jan. 16. The house
spent almost the entire day debating
the Grout bill, whoh was under con
sideration for a time yesterday, to sub
ject oleomargarine and other imitation
dairy products to the laws of the states
into which they are transported. The
advocates of the measure took the view
that the states should be allowed to
regulate the sale of a product sailing
under false colors, and the opponents
argued that the bill would establish
a dangerous precedent and invade the
power of congress to regulate interstate
commerce. Those who supported the
measure were Messrs. Northway,
Morse, Lacey, Hainer, Willis, Grosve
nor and Henderson. Those who op
posed it were Messrs. Cooper, Tucker,
Cannon, Boatner, Clardy and Williams.
The bill is as follows:
"That all articles known as oleomar
garine, butterine, imitation butter or
imitation cheese, or any substance in
the semblance of butter or cheese,
. not the usual product of the dairy, and
not made exclusively of pure and un
adulterated milk or cream, transported
into any state or territory, or remain
ing therein for use, consumption, sale
or storage, shall, upon arrival in such
state or territory, be subject to the
operation and effect of the laws of such
state or territory, enacted in the exer
cise of its police powers, to the same
extent and in the same manner as those
articles or substances that had been
produced in such state or territory, and
shall not be exempt therefrom by rea
son of being introduced there in origin
al packages or otherwise, provided that
nothing in this act shall be construed
so as to permit any state to forbid the
sale of oleomargarine except in such
manner as will advise a customer of its
real character."
Will Not Surrender.
Washington, Jan. 18. Mr. Quesada,
of the Cuban junta, today received a
long letter from his uncle, Salvador de
Cisneros, president of the Cuban repub
lio, who, by inference, gives a denial
to the reports that the insurgents are
willing to negotiate terms of peace on
any other basis than absolute inde
pendence. The letter says, in part:
"We will renew our offensive cam
paign in a few days. Gomez has left
me to enter Santa Clara with reinforce
ments and munitions of war. He will
go further west. Our situation is most
prosperous, and if we had plenty of
ammunition, not only for rifles, but for
cannon, and in Camaguey a dynamite
cannon, the railroads would ' be de
stroyed and the few garrisoned inland
towns would be abandoned by the
enemy, and they would be confined to
the coast. As I expect to receive these
war materials from abroad, we very
soon will drive them to the sea and be
In a position to tell them, when they
depart, our last good-bye."
German Syndicate In Japan.
London, Jan. 18. It is reported in
a Berlin dispatch that word has been
received from Tokio that twenty Ger
man firms of engineers and shipbuild
ers in Japan have formed a syndicate
to contract for the work of the military
and naval equipment to which Japan
will devote the war indemnity.
Of the 800,000 fossil insects collect
ed from all over the world it is said
that only twenty of these are of the

The Army Appropriation Bill.
Washington, Jan, 18. The army
appropriation bill was reported to the
senate today from the committee. The
committee restored the provision for
the support of the hospital t at Hot
Springs, Ark, which the house struck
out.
To ClaMlfy Postofflco Clerki.
Washington, Jan. 18. Senator Cul
lom today introduced in the senate a
bill heretofore represented in the house
of representatives by Mr. Sperry for a
classification of clerks in the first and
second-class postoffiees.
WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
ftownins. Hopkine Comnanv'e Helew
of Trade.
The past week has proved an un
rteady one in the wheat markets.
While there has been no weakening in
die basic position of wheat, and while,
indeed, the position today is stronger
'Jian a week since, the bears have upon
;wo or three occasions raided the mar
iets and broken prices. To our minds
these fluctuations prove nothing against
the deal. We don't know but prices
aill be lower, and are not talking about
what will be the results, but we write
jf the foundation of the markets, and
iealers must manage the rest. The
winter wheat, usuallly two-thirds of
the aggregate crop, is depleted to
smaller remains in farmers' hands than
for years. Consumption must soon re
sort to spring wheat, and that reserve
is undoubtedly small. We are break
ing away slowly from foreign prices
and before harvest it will be a home
iemand aud supply.'
According to expert testimony many
of the believers in wheat who have
been watching the upward march of
values for the past two months have
been rather doubtful of its stability, in
view of the cheapness of other cereals
md their product. The fact that oom
lias entered the list as a competitor for
bread consumption led to a halt in the
advance and many traders were greatly
influenced by this circumstance. The
argument is made that flour is being
adulterated to such an extent with corn
meal, and the call for corn meal is in
sreasing at such a rate that the demand
for cash wheat will gradually become
curtailed, and, with a lessening of the
demand, perforce a decline in price.
One writer in discussing this phase of
the wheat situation asserts that such a
use for corn meal and other substitu
tions for wheat must be only credited
to restricted areas. The theory ad
vanced is that poor people who would
most likely use this adulterated article
as a human food do not buy flour, and
hence the first argument falls to the
ground.

Be sure that every one of you has
his place and vocation ou this earth,
and that It rests with himself to find it.
Do not believe those who too lightly
say: "Nothing succeeds like success."
Effort, honest, manful, humble effort,
succeeds by Its reflected action, espe

which, Indeed, too easily and too early
gained, not seldom serves, like winning
the throw of the dice, to blind and

exercise your strength. Work onward
and upward, and may the blessing of
the Most High soothe your cares, clear
your vision, and crown your labors with
reward.

MOTOR ANU M19KHY.
Compressed air as a motive power for
street railways will in time supersede elec
tric wires and the trolley. Necessity and
invention make rapid changes, but some
old, sure, unfailing methods will hold good
for all time. The nerves are the electric
wires of the human system, and often
"jangle out of tune," as when neuralgia
slips the trolley of the system and it grinds
and groans with pain. The old motor for
the cure of pain, ft. Jacobs Oil, will
always act as electric, influence on the pain
stricken nerves, aud will send a current of
cure through the disordered wires, and
bring about a perfect restoration. Nothing
new can improve upon what is known to be
the best and surest in the treatment of pain
ful diseases.

Gladness Comes
With a better understanding1 of the
transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper ef
forts gentle efforts pleaHanlefforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi
tion of the svstem, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millionsof families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene
ficial effeots, to note when you pur
chase, that you have the genuine arti
cle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Tig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
Jbed and gives most general satisfaction.

THE BETTER NEW YORK.
Reform that Hv Hern Adopted la
the Metropolis. '
Upon the road which New York Inn
been treading this half-score years there
Is at last uo turning back. - The street
evacuated by the trucks have beeu 01s
cupled by tUe chlldreu, the truckman's
with the relt, for the want of better
playgrounds, aud the truckman has
abandoned the tight; aud where they
crowd thickest, playgrounds of their
own are being fitted up for them lu
school and park. "Hereafter uo school
house shall be constructed lu the city
of New York without an opeu play
ground attached to or used lu connec
tion with the same," says one of the
briefest but most beueflceut laws ever
enacted by the people of the State of
New York. It Is all there Is of It, but It
stands for a good deal. No child of
New York, poor or rich, shall hereafter
be despoiled of his birthright a chance
to piny; aud ns for the streets, does any
oue Imagine that New . Yorkers will
ever be persuaded to barter away their
clean aud noiseless pavements aud pure
air for the whirling dust-clouds, the
summer stenches, aud the winter
sloughs of old, sensoued with uo mat
ter what mess of political pottage? If
so, he Is grievously mistaken. Col.
Waring has ohowii us that the streets
of New York can be cleaned, and any
future city 'government, uo matter how
corrupt or despotic, will have to reckon
with him. Aud right well the enemy
knows It; he may not refralu from
picking our pockets lu future, but tie
will at lenst have to do It with due re
gard to the decencies of life.
Mulberry Bend Is gone, find lu Its
place have come grass and flowers aud

3124,000 human beluga were ehowu to
live out of sight and roach of a green
spot, four of the most crowded blocks
hnve been seized for demolition, to

and the children of that tecmlus neigh
borhood nre to have a veritable little
Coney Island, with sandhills and shells,
established at their very doors. Wtio
can doubt the Influence It will have
upon young lives heretofore framed
In gutters?
I question whether the greatest wrong
done the chlldreu of the poor In the past
has not been the esthetic starvation of
their lives rather than the physical In
jury. Against the latter, provision ha
been made by strlngeut tenement house

"Business" Is the watchword of the
day, and the small boy Is developing
on that line with a rapidity which as
tonishes the previous generation. But
the practical side of his nature has
not obscured the poetry of childhood.
The fairy tale Is as potent as ever,
and there was a smile of pleasure on
the face of the lad who remarked at
breakfast:
"I had a beautiful dream last night."
"What was It?" his father asked.
"I thought I was 'out in the woods
and I saw a most gorgeously dressed
lady coming toward me."
"That is a good deal like some of
the stories that you have been read
ing." ,
"Yes. It doesn't get very different
until the end. I knew by her looks
that she was the fairy queen, and I
made up my mind that I wasn't going
to lose chances like some of the boys
In story books, who didn't know a
good chance when they saw it."
"Did she offer you three wishes?"
"Yes. And I called to mind how
she sometimes took advantage of a
mortal's being excited and nervous
when he wished, In order to make him
waste his opportunities and have a
good laugh at him. So, when she said,
'Littls boy, I'll give you three wishes,'
I didn't Jump at the chance. , I said,
'Will you give me whatever I ask for?'
She answered, 'Yes; you may havo
three wishes.' "
"What did you do?" -
"I wished for four."
Uses of Fruit.
I have eaten apples all my life, but
never learned how to make the best
use of them till last winter, writes a
correspondent to American Gardening.
Now we eat apples half an hour before
breakfast and dinner Instead of after
ward. The action of the acid is then admir
able In aiding digestion, while If eaten
after meals the apple Is likely to prove
a burden,
We follow the same line In using
grapes, pears, cherries and berries, If
disturbed by a headache or dyspepsia
In summer, I climb a cherry-tree and
eat all I can reach and relish.
In order to have cherries all sum
mer, I cover a dozen trees with mos-qulto-netting
to keep off the birds.
Currants and gooseberries I flud very
wholesome eaten raw from the bushes
before going to the dlnlng-tablu. Na
ture has prepared a large amount of
food already cooked, exactly fitted for
all demands of the human system.
I am by no means a vegetarian or a
fruitarian, but I am convinced that we
have not yet measured the value of
fruit as a diet, with milk, eggs and
vegetables. "'
