Conditions in Porto Eico Be
coming Serious.
Medical Authorities Agree That Unless
Barracks are Promptly Provided
for the Troops and the Sick Sent
Home the Consequences May Be
Terrible.
Philadelphia, Aug. 30. The 3acht
May, which took to Porto Rico supplies
for the array, sent by the national relief
committee, has arrived here, bringing
a report to representatives of the com
mittee. This document reads in part as
follows :
There are about sixteen thousand
American soldiers in Porto Rico, and on
the day of our departure, August 22d,
there were over one thousand men on
the sick list. There were a large num
ber of typhoid cases, but on the 22d this
disease was not on the increase, a fact
which indicates that the malady had
been carried from camps at home and is
not indigenious to Porto Rico. How
ever, there is a large increase in dysen
teiy, backbone fever and malarial dis
eases, due to the rainy season just com
menced. Medical authorities of the army in
Porto Rico agree that the sick list is in
creasing, and an alarming condition may
bo expected unless the war department
promptly arranges barracks for the ar
my and immediately provided trans
ports to relieve euch sick men as can
safely be transferred home.

PEDAGOGUE
OF THE FUTURE
New Era For the Schoolmaster as Well
as the Statesman Portion of an
Interesting Paper.
Saratoga, N. Y.,Aug. 30. Before the
American Social Science Association,
which has a membership ot four hun
dred, and which is holding its annual
session here, an interesting paper was
read by William T. Harris, of Washing
ton. He discussed the "Significance of
the Recent Advance in College and Uni
verisity Education in theUnited States"
and said, in part:
"It has been a question of time only,
during the past twenty years, when we,
as a nation, should take our part in the
management of the affairs of the world ;
when we should be counted with the
others as the sixth great power in the
government of Asia, Africa and the isles
of the sea.
"This very summer we have entered
upon a new epoc as an active agent in
the collected whole of the great powers.
This new era is one of great portent to
the statesmen of America. All legisla
tion hereafter mast be scrutinized, in
view of its influence upon our foreign re
lations. We cannot any longer have
that snug eence of security and ieolatlon
which has permitted ns to legislate with
out considering the effect of our action
on foreign nations. -. -
"Hereafter, oar foremost national'
study must be made of the characters,
inclinations and interests of foreign
powers. - It is obvious that this study
requires a greater breadth .of education,
more careful study in history and in the
manners and customs of European na
tions: their methods of organizing ar
mies and navies.
"We must even master foreign litera
tures and see what are the fundamental
aspirations of those who read them. All
this study concerns the system of edu
cation in this country. It indicates the
function of the schoolmaster in the com
ing time.
JEWISH RABBI
KICKED TO DEATH
The Murderer Is a 17-Year-Old Chicago
Youth Aided by Several Other
Boys.
Chicago, Aug. 30. Seeking to save a
child from the attack of a 17-year-old
boy, Louis Rjeenbloom, a Jewish rabbi
and a teacher of Hebrew.was himself as
saulted and kicked to death.
John Schlechta, a boy charged with the
murder, lives with his mother at 230
Dekovan etreet. In the earae house
lives Louis Rosenbloom, who had been
intrusted with education of one of
the children of the family. Young
Schlechta had locked three-year-old
Julius Levi in a shed, and when the
child's mother objected he struck her in !
the face. Hyman Levi, 11 years old, the j
boy who Rosenbloom is teaching, inter
fered in his mother's behalf, and he was
kicked into the street.
At this time the teacher arrived and
ordered Schlechta to leave the boy alone.
Schlechta turned to Rosenbloom and
struck him in the mouth, then followed
the blow up with a fierce attack with
his heels. Rosenbloom rolled into the
street and tried to regain his feet, bnt
before he could rise Schlechta was up
on him and renewed the assault.
Half a dozen young men who had been
loitering in the vicinity took a hand in
the attack and did- not rest until the
clang of a patrol wagon bell warned
them of the approach of tfee police. By
the time the officers arrived they had
all fled and only Rosenbloom was in the
street. He was picked np and died be
fore the wagon could be started for the
hospital.

PARTITION OF
THE ISLAND
OF SAMOA
Likely Soon to Follow the
Death of Malietoa.
STATE DEPARTMENTS FLAN
We Will Take the Island of Tutalia,
Germany Upolu, and Great Brit
ain Sawaii.
Washington, Aug. 30. The state de
partment has not yet been officially ad
vised of the reported death of King Mal
ietoa, of Samoa, and in all likelihood
must remain in official ignorance of the
event for some t'me to come, owing to
tbeelow means of communication at the
disposal of the department.
It is the general impression here that
the death of the king will result in the
overthrow of the present form of govern
ment of the islands, maintained as it is
by the joint action of the United States,
Great Britain and Germany.
For years the existing arrangements
for the government of the Samoan group
has been satisfactory to none of the three
governments, yet it has been, continued
for the reason that nothing better could
be suggested that would be acceptable
to the nations.
There is now indications that at least
one of the parties is coming around to
what was a favorite plan of settlement
of the state department, namely, a dis
ruption of the present tripartite govern
ment and an absolute division of the is
lands of the group between the TJ. S.
Great Britain and Germany. The prin
cipal object of our government has been
to retain possession of a coaling or tull
naval station in the islands, so as to af
ford a base for naval operations in the
vicinity ot Australasia, as well as to in
sure an open port for our steamers on
the long voyage from San Francisco to
Australia. The United States nnw holds
title to some ground, for a coaling sta
tion at Pango-Pango on the island of
Tutulia. 'J his island is the. least in size
of any of the group, but it is large enough
to support a naval station, eo that it has
been the plan of the state department to
acquire it as a whole in the event of the
disolution of the tripartite agreement.
Basing the division on the existing in
terests of the three nations, Germany,
holding the largest interest, would take
Upolu, the island second in size, possess
ing the capital, Apia, while Great Brit
ain would secure the largest of the
group, but the second in commercial
importance, Sawaii. .
A CLASH NOW
THREATENING
Relations Between the Americans and
Filiopinos are Bad Since Last
Week's Trouble.
London, Ang. 30. The Hong Kong
correspondent of the London Daily Mail
eays:
The relatione between the Americans
and the Filiopinos are much strained in
consequence of the collision at Cavite
last Wednesday. The insurgent general
at Cavite has been ordered to evacuate
the place and take his troops two miles
into the country, in order to prevent
further disturbances.
General Aguinaldo said his chief pur
poee in maintaining his army near the
city was to be prepared to cope with the
Spaniards in case the United States
left Manila to Spanish rule.

ffotice to Delinquent Taxpayers.
The delinqent taxes of Wasco county,
as shown on the rolls now in the hands
of the sheriff are $60,000, an amount al
most equal to the indebtedness of the
county. Every citizen will doubtlees
admit that this state of affairs should
not exist, and that all taxes should be
collected. On account of hard times
in the past the county court Las shown
leniency to taxpayers, but that leniency
ha9 reached the limit, and the court
cannot wait longer on delinquents to
make settlements. For this reason a
warrant has been attached to each de
linquent roil commanding the sheriff to
collect all taxes by seizure and Eale oi
property. With a bountiful, crop now
in sight, there can no longer be any rea
sonable excuse for the non-payment of
taxes. The sheriff is bound by oath to
comply with the terms of the warrants
attached to the tax rolls for the collec
tion thereof, and has no option in the
matter. Delinquent taxpayers can save
the cost of seizure and sale of property
by Eetlling their taxes at once.

Sheriff and Tax Collector for Wasco
County.

Deafness Cannot be Cared
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is bv constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are cansed
by catarrh, which i9 nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars ; free.
