, While driving a heavily laden wag
on down the Uniontown hill yester-
lay 'afternoon, George Knudsen,
driver,.. Jot ... the, Shewuan Transfer
Company, was thrown under the
wheels as the result of an accident
to the .brake, and be received . in
juries from which he shortly after
died. . ' "
Apparently both the fore and rear
wheels on one side" of the " wagon
passed over his chest . and literally
crushed his life out. The accident
' was witnessed by one or more peo
ple, and kindly hands soon endeavor
ed to render assistance. ' He was tak
en to St Mary's hospital and every
care given him as soon as possible
, but apparently there was no hope of
"saving his life and he died a few
moments after 5 o'clock. ;
I- The wagon is said to have carried
perhaps over two tons, and, as it
neared the bottom of the Uniontown
hill, the horses held it back with
some difficulty, despite the fact that
the brake was on. Knudsen arose in
his seat according to the statement
of those who were near at the time
and bent his whole weight and
strength to throw the brake back
more tightly against the wheels.
With a sudden snap the brake
broke. Knudsen was precipitated
backward and fell to the ground. It
was impossible for him to save him
self, ; under the circumstances. As
his body touched the ground the
front wheel caught him and passed
over him, and a second .later the
rear wheel passed over him in the
same way. -: .-.-..-.---
The , wagon passed i on .and the
crushed body of the unfortunate
young man lay there in the 'street.
wan tne Drake Droken the wagon
jumped ahead against the horses,
but the patient and well trained am
mals are said to have done "all they
could to stop it, and a man ran out
and threw some blocks under the
wheels, stopping it effectually
When the unconscious form of the
wounded man arrived at thejjospital
it was seen at once that his injuries
were very bad. Dr. Finch was called
and he hastily treated the injuries,
but from the first it seemed inevit
able that death would come at any
moment. He had sustained a con
cussion of the brain, ?a very bad gash
on the head, his chest .was crushed,
and several ribs broken, his right
arm and right leg cut and broken,
besides other minor injuries. He was
hardly, conscious at all while at the
hospital,, though once or twice he
called for water. .... . . -..
, JThe. news of the frightful accident
soon spread over the city, and on ev
ery hand last night were heard ex
pressions' of regret for the untimely
death of the young man. His com
rades said he was but 19 or 20 years
of age. He was a tall, fine looking
youth and wa, well known about the
city. ' His home was at 122 Fourth
street, where he resided with the
Knudsen ' family. His sister, Miss
Thyra Knudsen, is employed as a
bookkeeper in the Elmore office.
Notice of the funeral wil be an
nounced later.
BOARD SAYS BOYS CAN GO ON
WEEK'S TRIP TO PORT'
LAND AND EUGENE.
At a meeting of the school board
yesterday afternoon the question of
granting permission to the High
School football team to go to Port
land and Eugene was - Again taken
under consideration, and the mem
bers voted to grant the desired per
mission:? 'This wil) be good news for
the iHcmb;rl of the football tfca.nl and
U the others in the Astoria fligh
who are interested in athletics.
It is said thfe board showed no dts
inclination to grant, tne permission,
Only one member is said . to . think
that it might be better if the boy
would stay at home instead of mak
ing a trip that will take them out of
school for an entire week.
An incidental question has arisen
in, connection with the absence of
the football team for one week. In
the Astoria public schools there ob
tains what is termed the "honor sys
tern," and under this system all those
pupils who have fulfilled certain re
quirements called for are passed from
grade to grade without being com
pelled to take written examinations
at the end of the terms. The system
will be best understood by present
ing the section of the school laws in
question:
"Fupils known as "Honor Pupils"
shall, at the end of each term, be
promoted without examination, when
they have fulfilled the following re
quirements: Excellent deportment,
no tardiness; not to exceed five days'
absence, all of which must be ex
cused, and a general average of 83
per cent in scholarship, provided that
they shall not fall below 70 per cent
in any one study." - ' .

It will be observed that . "five days'
absence" no - matter what the cause
may beunless excuse is granted by
the proper school authorities, will
render all advantages , under the
honor system of no effect'.
The boys of the football team na
turally wished to secure permission
from the board to leave for the week,
for without that permission . they
would lose all advantages under the
honor system. Now, with the per
mission of the board gained, they
will be "excused" for the week by
the principal, Mr. Imel. , j
But a question arises. Is it not a
hardship on a boy or girl who may
fall sick for six or seven days?
Under the rule the pupil who falls
sick for any period over the five
days must lose all the advantages of
the honor system, while the football
boys are excused for a full week
merely to help carry out the school
athletics.-- ' ''"
There has been some criticism of
this five-day rule, as there seems to
be a disposition to think there per
haps should be an exception in the
one case of accident or sickness. If
boys are to be given a chance to go
away for a week to play football and
still may retain their claims on the
honor system, it may not be too
much to ask that a- pupil whd falls
sick for six or eight days may also
be granted some chance to retain the
advantages of the rule, , . , j ..;
Superintendent Clark, said .last
evening that he tnmns tne ruie
should be changed in the case of
sickness or accident. He will there
fore propose some proper amend
ment to the board, whereby a pupil
ho is kept out by an unavoidable
necessity may still be given a chance
to be advanced without the written
examination, especially in those
cases where the pupil can and will
"make up" for the time lost.
Mr, Clark said that in his opinion,
and in the opinion of most of the
teachers, the , honor system has
worked extraordinarily well. It as
sures attendance and promptness.
Last year, for example, the average
attendance reached 98.8 per cent a
very high record. It seems to be
admitted that in individual cases the
rule may sometimes work hardships.
Some times, too, in a few cases, it
may prove too much of an incentive
as for example, in the case of a
boy or girl wiio is sickly'and should
not be permitted to work, too hard.

The steamer was - wending her

night trip when a fire was noticed
on the south side ., of the roof of

where the Government light is kept.
The captain of the boat immediate

who was the hero of the occasion, as
sisted by the night purser, aroused

that time on was kept busy dodging

was on board says that had it not j
been for the timely arrival of the
boat the chances are both Mr. Win

No More Dosing the Stomach Cure
; the Skin Through the Skin.
When you have a scratch on your
hand you wash It out and cleanse it
and then the skin cures itself. You
do not take blood medicine to cure
a testcred wound.
The best skin specialists today are
agreed that the only way to cure
the skin is through the skin.
The fact that eczema is a skin dis
ease and not a blood disease is evi
dent from statistics which show that
nearly all eczema sufferers are per
fectly healthy 1n all other ways ex
cept as to their skirt - If the eczema
patients were really su?rins from
an inward malady, the entire' body
and not only the skin would be dis
eased. : ' vr
You can prove immeditely the re
lief of a true skin cure by using oil of
wintergreen as compounded in D.

This liquid attacks . tlie disease

up the healthy tissue of the skin. We
have now handled this meritorious
and thoroughly scientific remedy for
