How Problems Are Solved.
These problems have In a way been
worked out in a plodding .disultory
fashion, but while a few have suc
ceeded, hundreds have failed. There
is a remedy, a very simple, practical
remedy, one th;.t will put every man
jpon an equal footing with the other,
that is. as n-ar equal as the differ
ences in men s intelligence will per
mit. The remedy Is nn exuerlmeni

the federal government and the state

pected of f.lsonIng every student In

the result of mating pastry which Is
believed to have been poisoned by the
discharged Chinaman. The man re
turned yesterday after having been
discharged several days ago and Is be
lieved to have put poison In the flour.

plaints began to pour In, the students
being seized with violent pains. While
some are In the hospital, all will re

STEAMER GOES ASHORE
IN DENSE MORNING FO.
Seattle. Sept. 29. The steamer
Humbolt, which sailed last night for
southeastern Alaskan points, ran
ashore this morning In a dense fog in
tne Active pass several miles north of
Victoria. The 38 passengers have
been rescued and taken ashore. The
extent of the damage is not known,
and probably will not be until the re
turn of the salvage boats which have
Just left Seattle. The Humbolt be
longed to the Pacific Steamship com

Bagham.
Chicago. Sept. 30 Speaker Joseph
O. Cannon will be bitterly condemn
ed in resolutions to be presented at
the Rock River conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church, which
begins Its sixty-ninth annual session
today with Bishop T. B. Neely of New
Orleans presiding. Prominent Metho
dists here declare that the conference
will attempt to make the church de
nunciation of Cannon a national Is
sue.
The committee on temperance and
prohibition, It Is stated, is In charge
of the anti-Cannon resolutions. The
Rock River conference Is composed of
350 ministerial members, represent
ing a lay membership of 62.000. At
republican headquarters the Metho.
dlst attack on Cannon Is not consid
ered seriously and It Is stated that
tne sage or Danville is "well able to
