ton Is Postponed.
Heroic Act of Amos Meninger Pre
vents Many Serious Accidents
and Possible Loss of Life.
A. F. ("Toots") Bryant. Lewis L.
Smith and Clauds J. Egglesto'n pleaded
guilty this morning before Judge Charles
E. Wolverton in the United States dis
trlct court to having received stolen
stamps from the Sell wood and St. Johns
postofflces, whloh were robbed last
winter. Upon reauest of Assistan
United States Attorney James Cole sen
tence was postponed in their esses until
August i.
Bryant worked as a bartender at Tom
Fallon a saloon in the north end and
acted as the agent for the stamps Stolen
from the St. Johns office by Wayne,
Carter and Anderson. Smith was th
bartender employed in the Manhattan
saloon on Front street and secured pos-
RFBiun or me si&mps stolen rrom tn
Sellwood offloe by the gang. Egrleston

wno purcnaaea a quantity of stamps.
The action today accounts for all con
nected with the robberies. Wayne is
erving nine years ai McNeil's Island
for his part. Anderson and Curler have
pleaded not guilty and are In the county
jail awaiting trial. Qilbrlde, another
man wno secured some of the stolen
properly, nns pleaded guilty and sen
tence will be pronounced in his cee at

alacrity, and nothing drags her because
of the tardiness of th men in falling In.
On the march it is always necessary
to send outs couts or "feelers." These
men ere the eye of the army. The
men composing these advance parties
must be active snd Intelligent, and they
must, above all, be good shots. For all
these duties the westerner Is admirably
equipped, and th fulness of the In
formation and the efficiency with which
It was procured haa brought forth
much favorable comment from regular
army officers.
Learning ta Beg-olar's way.
i One of the most important phases of
military training is gusrd duty. Thq
men of the Oregon Xatlonal guard are
being mingled with the men of the regu
lar army, and responsible positions given
them. This tends to imbue the men
with the seriousness of such respon
sibility and they gain confidence In
themselves. Active participation for
ten days is productive of more good
than many times that much theoretical
training.
It Is marvelous how quick th average
militiaman Is to learn from his older
brother, the regular. Here at Fort Ste
vens they were placed-at the batteries
with the regulars, ana after three days
were able to manipulate tne nig guns
with almost the accuracy and speed of
the rearulars themselves.
Details for Instruction in submarine
work are rapidly acquiring proficiency,
as also are the details for the communi
cation of Information.
Benefit of JTew Militia Law.
On January 21 Senator Dick of Ohio
succeeded In having passed throush con
gress a bill providing fur the reorgani
zation of all the militia of the I'nlted
Rtatea, and making It a great national
reserve. It was to be supplied with the
snme equipment as the United 8tatcs
armv and part of the expense of en
campment was to be borne br the gov
ernent. The cood effects Of the bill
have already been felt In Oregon, with
the result that the Oregon national
guard stand well to the head of the
states of the union in Dolnt of afflclanev
and readiness for war.

Ti'lrftuy finds inspiration ln a paper
published in Portland; he says that he
read th paper Weekly and finds ln it
a corroboration of his inmost thought.
In an - interview with the famous
Russian in the New Tork Time Stephen
Bonsai 1 writes of Tolstoy: "He car
ried ln hla hand a little weekly paper
published In Portland, Oregon. He had
his finger on a paragraph and hastened
to say: 'See here, is this not beautlfut?
It is from the Key Thoughts of Lucy
A. Mallory, and I read them every week.
While people in America write aa she
does I know the suit has not yet oulte
lost it savor. Listen. 'We, who know
the truth of life, 'must first change tho
world ourselves internally before the
world can be changed In others exter
nally. If we know the truth of life and
do not, live it, we are as a lighthouse
set upon a hill in which; the lla-ht has
gone out.' " '
. The paper to which the great Russian
philanthropist referred is Th World's
Advance Thought, a .monthly published
by Mrs. Lucy. A.' Mallory, of this city.
Continuing. Count Tolstoy said that ho
fears for the American nation. He
says that th national selfishness which
the subtle men who rule us call patriot
Ism has done more to retard the growth
of the individual than has the Church
of Russia with all Its shackles and
chains mental as well as physical.
"Prosperity, prosperity!'r he repeated,
"What a shameful plea that is which
your American platform makers ad
dress to the voters. They do not sav
'We will give you an honest, righteous
government,' but they say 'Well mak
you all fat and sleek. If vou vote for
me. you wlU have a double chin. And
does no one arise to iv -what win
your full dinner pail profit you, if
while gorging your bellies you lose
your Immortal soulsr "
With impressive earnestness the count
concluded, "Forgive me if my Judg-nr1"-
Al' nly remember you
11 . . "ffhthous set upon a hill ant
that In the last few years it has seemei
to many watchers ffiat the light which
was once the joy and hope of the world,
whose rays penetrated Into the utter
most parts of the earth was about to
be overwhelmed with shadow. I pray
iiat. you.n Americans will see to that
light and tend It dny nnd night. It Is
the flame that their fathers lit and It
has become the llvht f th
well as yours. It would be a dark world
