expected the average yield would be
25 bushels.

The Ladiea Who Have Been Fainting
Hood River Are Home Again.
The party of ladles who went to
Hood River to join Mrs. Alice Weis-
ter's sketching clase for a weeks work
in that vicinity, returned Thursday
evening by the Regulator.
They report a very profitable week
as well as a pleasant outing, and If we
might be allowed to judge of the depth
of their artistic tastes by the rosy hue
of their complexions, especially their
noses, old-Mt. Hood's sunset glow was
still very fresh in their memories The
ladies are loud in their praise of Mrs.
Weister and her methods, and feel thar
In their association with her for a
short week they had been In touch
with the masters and methods of
France, especially beautiful Paris,
Irom which place Mrs. Welster re
turned to America three years ago.
While In Paris Mrs. Weiater studied
with Gustav Courtois, Raphael,Collln,
DuPaln and others, making heads her
specialty. She is now professor of the
art department at the Portland Uni
versity, with a studio Ui A. O. U. W.
temple, Second and Taylor streets,
Portland.
The class, while at Hood River, made
several sketches of different points of
interest, made more interesting by the
difficulties in getting them, for old Sol
tried how very affectionate he could
be, and beamed upon them with ao
much warmth that mother earth
turned to ashes and Increased the In
cline of all her hills and mountains
round about, besides instilling new
life into all the snakes, worms and
spiders.
Those ot the class who had quarters
at Mt. Hood Hotel will ever remember
Mr. and Mrs. Bell, the host and "host
ess of the establishment, for their un
tiring efforts in making all comfortable
and adding: to the pleasures of each
day by attentions that were highly ap
preciated.
Mrs. Weister left Hood River Thurs
day afternoon on the local train for
Portland, from whence she goes to
Gladstone Park to remain a week, and
where she will deliver a lecture before
the Chautauqua, on art, about tho 16th
of July, after which she will return to
the Columbia river again, visiting The
Dalles, Cascade Locks and all ' points
of. interest between the locks and Port

ONLY NOMINAL DAMAGES.
Benfert Bros. Get a Verdict for Only
S 0,000.
The suit of - the United States
against Seufert Bros, to condemn
right-of-way for the Celilo boat-rail
way was decided in Judge Bellinger's
court yesterday afternoon. The jury,
after being out about two hours, re
turned a verdict allowing the defend
ants damages.
The findings of the jury are certainly
rather disappointing-, since the de
fendants claimed their property would
be damaged in the sum of $150,000, and
the evidence adduced by them certainly
showed that 83 acres of this land would
be appropriated by . the government.
that their fisheries would be cut off
from the railroad, and that one can
nery would be passed through by the
road, necessitating its , removal from
the present location. The evidence
all showed that the Messrs. Seufert
would be damaged at the least calcula
tion $100,000, and how the jury should
assess the damages at one-fourth this
amount, except they were influenced
by the unusual " instruction of the
court "that the jurors were sole judges
of the matter, and that evidence
aa to the amount of damages was
not to be considered." This in
struction of Judge Bellinger's was; to
say the least, extraordinary, in that it
is generally assumed that competent
witnesses know more of the matters to
which they testify than do "profes
sional" jurors. Were this rule not ac
cepted. In such cases aa this, no testi
mony would be neo essary; all that
would be required would be for the
jury to look over the ground in contro
versy and assess the damages accord
ing to their judgment.
Excepting this ruling of the court,
the defendants feel that their case was
tried on its merits, and that all fair
ness was shown by the court, but they
take exceptions to the judge's Instruc
tions on this material point, and if the
government does not appeal, they will
likely carry the case to the' United
States supreme court-
CAYV8B KILLING
Deputy State Veternarlan Thompson Haa
S94 on the List of Dead One.
Thomas Thompson, deputy state
veterinarian for Umatilla county, has
gone right on with his cayuse killing
and is beginning to see that the course
followed has been wise. Peo, the
chief, and Kashkash, the old judge,
have done lots of dipping, and have
comparatively only a few left - not
treated. Mr. Thompson has killed 394
or caused them to be killed. At any
rate, that number are now in- horse
heaven, which but a short time ago
were peacefully browsing on the
Indian reservation and giving the
manfe to every horse with which they
came in contact.
The destruction of these animals,
while from a humanitarian and senti
mental standpoint is not pleasant to
contemplate, has been beneficial, not
only In saving further infection, but in
leaving the range for stock which is of
more value than the average "2-bit
cayuse." .East uregonian.
THE CROOK COUflTY HOMICIDE.
Campbell Who Killed Swearlngen, Ia Held
Without BalL
Mention was made in these columns
several days since of the killing of
Isaac Stfeftringen at his home twenty
miles aoutheast of prinevllle by Harry
Campbell, and the Prinevllle Review
o-ivea an account of the killing from
which the following ia gleaned:
Swearlngen and his wife had been
aanarated for some time, Mrs. Swear
lngen and her three daughters living
in the family residence, while Mr.
Swearlngen occupied a cabin near by.
On the morning of the 3d Swearlngen
went to the house where his wife lives,
carrying a Winchester rifle, and learn
ing that Campbell was there, Mrs.
Swearlngen says, threatened to kill
him, whereupon Campbell shot Swear
lngen with a revolver, the ball enter
ing bis right breast, inflicting a wound
from which be died fire boure later.
Campbell went to Prinevllle and gave
himself up to the sheriff, and on Tues
day of last week had an examination
before Judse Brink, who held him
without bail to appear before the next
grand jury.
Other parties state that before S wea r-
Inger died he told them that his wife
held him while Campbell shot him,
and from all that can be learned, It
appears that the killing was a deliber
ately planned scheme between Mrs.
ijwearingen and Campbell to get
Swearingen out of the way. He was
killed In the presence of his children,
one of whom, a girl of 11 years, was
pleading with the murderer to not
shoot her father. The feeling in the
community where Swearingen lived is
very bitter against Campbell and Mrs.
Swearingen, and It Is feared rash
means win oo resorted .to to avenge
the death of the. murdered man.

. OLD JOHN BROWN'S SOX.
Meets the Boy of the Sheriff Who Hanged
His Father.
Two men of historical connections
met by chance at McMinnyille during
the bimetallic 'convention Thursday.
As is the custom in all conventions in
Oregon every delegate does his best to
get acquainted with every other dele
gate, and all delegates speak whether
acquainted or not. Several delegates
were fifoing about introducing a rather
handsome man of.40 or thereabouts,
whom they called Mr. Booth, of Mc-
Minniville. They would say of him:
"Mr. Booth is a son of the sheriff who
hanged John Brown, of Ossawatomie,
at Harper's Ferry."
All of which caused people to take
more than a common interest in Mr.
Booth, b Inally Mr. Booth was intro
duced to a man of excellent appearance
whose name was Solomon Brown. Af
ter the introduction, Mr. Booth and Mr.
Brown cnattea very pleasantly lor a
minute or two.

at Harper's Ferry?"

sheriff at that time and it was his duty
to officiate at the execution. No rela

"Only my father," was the quiet
reply.

a quiet corner in the hotel and talked
over old times for half an hour. They

THE NORMAL INSTITUTE.
The Coarse ofJStadj Formally Begun With
Twenty Teachers In Attendance.
Monday, in answer to the call of
Supt. Gilbert, twenty teachers assem
bled at the high school ready for study.
After a few words of welcome and en
couragement from Mr. Gilbert, the In
structors explained briefly the line of
study to be pursued, and classes were
organized.
The plan of the institute Is to have
regular class-room work during the
the four weeks of the school, methods
of teaching discussed during one hour
each day. Many of those attending
are preparing for the teachers' exami
nation which will be held at the close
of the Institute. Several are prepar
ing for state diplomas.
For reasons which could not be
avoided there has not been an institute
held In Wasco county for nearly two
years, and this opportunity for instruf
tlon Is Invaluable to the younger
teichers and very beneficial to. the
older ones.
Yes, it is hot; but no hotter in the
school room than in the kitchen, store
or the field. Thesamekindlybrper.es
fan us all. The instructors are glad
to have several of the high school pu
pils in their classes. It is an oppor
tunity to make up work, which will
place the student on a good standing
when be enters his classes in Sept.
The following is a list of those in
attendance: Tena Rintoul, Loutse
Rintoul, Flora Bassoni, Lois A. Helm,
W. L. Harrington, Mai me Driver,
Katie E. Davenport,' Hatt ie Stern weis,
Mabel Riddell, Dayton Taylor, Melissa
Hill, Salina Phirrnan, Alma Taylor,
Mollie Dunlap, Ida M. Foss, Will H.
Walker and Catherine Martin.
NOT THE LIQUOR HE WANTED.
The Tipsy Kan Not Yet Beady for a Dose
of Embalming Fluid.
It was 4 o'clock a. m. and as yet there
was not a saloon open in town. An
Indianapolis Sentinel man was out for
a ride on his bicycle as an appetizer be
fore breakfast, and as he passed along
he met a poor traveler who was search
ing for a drink.
"Shay," said the traveler, "I'm dry;
can ye telerfeller where he can get
aompin' t 'drink?"
The reporter could not, but slowed
up and talked to the man as they went
along together. Soon the man spied a
light ahead at a place where he knew
there was a saloon, or had been the
day before.
"Now I'm fixed"' he said. "Zere's a
friend of mine,'' and he started at a
more rapid pace in the direction of the
light.' He rushed into the place and
found a young man straightening the
furniture about. To the reporter it
was evident that there was no saloon
there, but to the half intoxicated man
the sight of the bar was sufficient, and,
squaring himself, he said: "Give me
some of your best likker;" and then.
"what's yours, pardner?"
"Well," said the boy, "our best is
pretty good, but not what you need at
present. The only liquor we have is
embalming fluid."
An undertaking establishment was
moving in where a saloon had just dis
continued business. The man with the
appetite for drink bowed politely,' and
as he edged for the door said: " 'Sense
me, but you'r got the wrong - feller. .
I'll no doubt see you later, but not
now. Ta. ta."
The Discovery Saved His Life

ville, IUsays: "To Dr.Klng'g New

sicians for miles about, but of no avail,

and began its use and from the first
dose began to get better, and after us

Oar Educators.
The power of importing knowledge
to others Is the prime qualification of
a teacher. This power is inherited by
some while with others it must, be ac
quired; and whether inherited or ac
quired, the faculty can be Improved by
a careful course of instruction, such as
is afforded at the normal -institute be
ing held In this city. School teach I De
ls a science, an art, a profession, and
to succeed in this branch of usefulness
the teacher must become a student as
much as are the pupils whom he seeks
to instruct. He must combine the
knowledge he has acquired with that
possessed by others more, proficient
than he, and learn by their experience
The present normal institute affords
an opportunity for the teacher to re
view all branches taught in the public
school, and instructions are given by
some of the ablest educators in the
state. The Institute' is in reality a
school for teachers, courses of study
being taken up and discussed as they
are in the leading normal schools of
the country, and since the four weeks'
Instruction costs the teacher the nomi
nal sum of two dollars, none who de
sire to advance in the profession can
well afford to miss this opportunity for
receiving knowledge and learning the
science of imparting it to others.
Tne Ferry Got Away.
On Thursday of last week, Thomas
Battle started to cross , the- Deschuter
river, at Warm Springs Agency, on
the ferryboat that was In charge of
Miss West, and when the boat struck
tfce current just after it had left the
south bank of the river the cabel gave
way, turning the boat loose to float
down the river. Mr. Battle was placed
In rather a critical position, for be
sides himself there were Miss West,
another girl and a wagon and team on
the boat, which drifted rapidly down
the swift current, and finally lodged
on an island In the middle of the stream.
The girls wanted to jump off and at
tempt to swim ashore, but Mr. Battie
persuaded them to stay on board until
parties on shore come to their rescue
with a small boat. Mr. Battie suc
ceeded in forcing his horses into the
water and making them swim ashore,
hut his wagon is still on the boat in
the middle of the river. The boat be
longs to H. A Cleek, of Willow Creek,
and will be hauled back up the river
to the usual crossing.
OUR MILITARY RESOURCES.
So Other Nation Can Master So largo an
Army as Uncle Sam..'
The United States has been said to
be a warlike nation without being a
military nation. Its war potentialities
are vast indeed, says the Boston Jour
nal. It showed that thirty years ago,
when with only a little more than half
its present population It mustered more
than 3,000,000 men under arms in the
onion and confederate forces. There
la now in America the enormous total
of 9,000,000 men of military age eligi
ble for military service. No civilized
country in the world could place such
a gigantic host of men in the field in an
emergency.
Of course, the actual number of or
ganized, drilled and uniformed citizen
soldiers is only a small fraction of this,
but the real available military strength
of the United States is only inadequate
ly appreciated by the average Ameri
can. The military spirit which the
civil war engendered has not died out
among the American youth. On the
contrary, it has amply held Its own, if
it has not increased. Never before
was the national guard of the several
states so strong in numbers, so well
armed, so excellently disciplined.
There are 112,190 of these volunteers
In all, representing infantry, cavalry
and artillery. Their efficiency widely
varies, being high as a rule, in the old,
rich, and populous states, and less sat
isfactory in the newer and sparsely
settled communities.
New York heads the list in numbers
with a well-equipped force of 12,810
officers and men as large as a fighting
army corps of the rebellion. . Pennsyl
vania has a force of 8,614, whose mettle
was tried two years ago at Homestead;
Ohio has; 6,125 and Massachusetts 5,666.
As it happens, the. states in which the
present -strike centers are well pre
pared for such an emergency. Illinois'
militia body musters 4,777 men; Indi
ana's, 2,633; Iowa's, 2,351; Missouri's,
2,415, and Michigan's, 2,801. Illinois is
particularly fortunate in the character
of Its fine city regiments.
The. entire organized , militia of the
United States is subject to the orders
of the president and can be moved and
concentrated wherever occasion for its
presence arises. When to this great
army of 100,000 men are added the 26,
000 regulars and the 2,000 or 3,000 blue
jackets and marines of the warships on
the ' home station it is obvious that
there is something more than the po
liceman's club between the American
people and anarchy.

A Snake on Bur Desk.
Miss Hughes, who Is teaching the
Winona school in Whitman county,
had a rather trying experience the
other day, says the, Garfield Enter
prise, beveral . boys . conspired to
frighten the teacher. After killing a
large snake, they coiled it up on the
teacher's desk. Going to her desk for
something, she laid her hand on it be
fore she saw it. With a scream of
fright she ran toward the doon, but
fell senseless before she reached It, and
was unable to resume her duties from
the nervous shock.

An awful collision occured at Logan,
near Omaha, last Saturday, resulting
in the death of about 30 people and the
serious Injury of 50 others. A special
tram carrying 1,200 people, going from
Oman a to Logan for a picnic, was run
Into by a fast train, the engineer of
ids excursion train having misunder
stood his orders. Many of the in
jured will die, and the fatalities will
probably reach 50, while many of the
injured will be crippled for life.
