The Chl- nese do not regard the sailing of the 15 Japanese battleships on a cruise to Chee Foo, Can- ton and Amoy In the light of a friendly maneuver.

Geary Klmhrell Shoots Hole Through Desk at Police Station, This morning Geary Klmbrell, city engineer, discovered that an automatic revolver Is an uncertain weapon, About 10 o'clock he was in the police station and In a spirit of Investiga tion was looking at a big 45 calibre automatic gun belonging to Chief Gurdane. wniie tne surveyor was tooling with the pistol It went off with a bang that could be heard a block away. The weapon was pointed at a little desk out in the corridor and as there was no one else in the room at the time the accident had no serious ef fects. The steel ball ploughed through the desk, bored a hole in the pile of papers contained therein and passing on punctured two overcoats hanging on the wall. The bullet then dropped to the floor, having become spent. Naturally the accident has been the chief subject of conversation at the District police station today and the Joke Is considered upon Mr. Klmbrell.

E. H. Clarke, veteran wool buyer and well known Elk, died at the hos pital at '8:80 last evening from the effects of pneumonia. He had been ill less than a week and was taken to the hospital Saturday. At that time his condition was serious an4 It was feared he could not live. Early In the evening yesterday he began to sink and the end came suddenly but peacefully. A sad feature in connection with he death is the fact that Miss Estell Clarke, daughter of the deceased, was to be married at Stookton, Cat., to morrow. Last evening the sad new of her father's death was wired to the young lady and her brother, both cf ilicm live In California. K. H. Clarke was born at Newton, Mass., August 15, 1844. He passed his early life In Massachusetts and was a soldier In the union army dur ing the civil war, being ln the 44th Massachusetts infantry. In 1870 he came west and became associated In the wool business with Christy & Wise of San Francisco. Twenty-five years ago he came to this place as representative for that com pany. He remained with them until the firm dissolved and he then serv ed as an Independent buyer. During the past five years he worked with Charles H. Greene as buyer for S. Koshland & Co. In 1878 the deceased was marrleO to a young lady of Stockton, CaL Thirteen years later his wife died" while spending the winter In Cali fornia. Two children, Estelle. a daughter, and a sqn, Fred, were born to the couple. When the Pendleton lodge of Elk was formed on February 21, 1895. the deceased Joined that order as a char ter member and his signature was one of the first placed upon the roll of the Pendleton lodge. He was also a member of the Woodmen and Work men lodges. Among woolmen and others who knew him the deceased was always liked because of his genial disposi tion and pleas-ant, cultured manner. Accordingly, there is much genuine regret over his death. At the request of the deceased his funeral will be conducted by the Elks and last evening R. W. Henneman, ex alted ruler, appointed R. Alexander, Dr. F. W. Vincent and Charles H. Greene as a commute to have charge of the funeral. It Is now planned to have the serv ice from the Church of the Redeemer t 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. The service will be according to the rituaf of the order of Elks and the funeral will be widely attended.

Probably nothing that has happen- d In recent years has caused as much omment as the action of the school board ln falling to re-elect the teach- ' ers who have been giving satisfac- ion to the patrons of the schools. says the Walla Walla Statesman. The people are freely expressing their pinion that It was a mistake not to re-elect the teachers and the petl- ions are being well signed asking the members to reconsider. Friends of Professors Shepherd. Buckles and Ryan have been busy for several days. Most of the people blame Professor O. S. Jones for the action of the board as he did not recommend that the teachers be retained. Nothing, how ever, could be brought against their ability. The teachers are popular with the pupils and have been doing good work. The people who have signed the pe titions ail of them being taxpayers feel that they should have some say In who shall teach the children, and . they think that the board will agree with them.
