As you lmve (kn ot t tl one ctiluniti of your papiT to the ciuse nf education, which Is the foundation of the pros perity and happiness of a mil ion, I wl-h to express my sentiments on the itjeet. Not on the line of contro versy, but on the ny of exehnnging Ideas Willi other. , The object of our public schools, as I uiidcistand it, is to 'ducato. By edu cation, we mean the gaining of useful knowledge, the development of tne mind along tbe natural paths that lead to human happiness. The object of our public school system Is to give a child an opportunity to learn demon strated facts of science.the true history nf world. the great principals of human copduct, Ihe thing's necessary to the preservation of the individual, of the state and such arts and Industiles as escenlial tothe pret-crvatlou of all. It should le the duty of the principals of our public schools to teach their pupils the, diflVrriice between right and wrong, to develop the minds in the di rection of the beautilul, of the highest art; so that Ihe palace in which the mind -dwells, way be enriched and and rendered beautiful. There are tin two Individuals just a like. Ko we must all differ In our lives and methods. Each producing something different from the others. And as there are no two individuals jutt alike, the same rule in tbe school might not apply to the best advantage to all its pupils. Therefore, these diffi culties have to-be settled by reason, by candor, by intelligent and kindness. And next to being lightly born and a good home education, we must look to. our public schools as tbe means of de veloping the miinliuess ofita pjOa by making the sentiment of houpi ' a rule of life. . v . In my opinion, Moat'-g ('(.'ourls of Honor," Willi their code of laws should be pari of our public school system; and questions of honor, hypothetlcalli.or in fact should be dis- j cussed, not only b r the bringing nut and cultivating this nice sense in those pupils who have not had the advant age of good family tiaining, but for di8linj;uUhiiiir Che false, sentiment. Belf-respeet is a twin virtue with honor. It is the cure, and the only cure, for those personal vices which degrade and ruin so muny thousands of our raw;. Pride, in Its definition as a noble self esteem, springs from a conciousnesH of worth, belongs as a motive power to good morals, to the same family of uplifting virtuts of which honor ami self-respect are mtm hei's. In addition to the science of physology, which shows 'hat all per sonal vices are destroyers of health anil suicidal in their tendencies. We would dtvelop and cherish into be coming proportion the sentiment of honor, a snaik of which as leverage, lit latent somewhere in the bosom of every man, no mailer how degraded he may be by vice mid crime. There is, and always has been, such a tiling uo a person being too proud to be vain, too proud to do a mean, self ish, acl and loo proud to give up the government of himself and become a scrvenl to any will habit. The public school has an entirely dill'crent function from that of tbe family. Here the children of all the citizens composing our political family in each state of the union meet to gether to receive, at the publio ex pense, such education as will fit them for the practical business of life, and for the duties i f citizenship. Here Is the place where character is developed and appreciated, where friendships are formed which last for life and are the source of future pride and pleasure. Here in the spirit of the constitution courteous respect Is engendered and manifested to all persons. Here is the place where tbe constitution of the United Hiates, as a grand text-book In political science, and the machinery of the government uuder it should be studied by the advanced classes; and on which the teacher could and should comment without the danger of giving offense; so that every youth shall be able, when he goes to the polls to exer cise bla sovereignty as a voter, to oast his ballot lutelilgently and for the good ot bis country. This can be done only by development of the heart and brain. , K M. C, Closing Out.

The City Jail Burned to the Ground Last Wedneaday Morning. Word reached The Dalles Saturday of Ihe burning of the town jail at Prlneville, with the death in the flames of Frank McNnlly. Mr. Artlm' Hodgeti, county clerk of Crook county, writes to Register Moore of the land office, as fo.lows: "Shortly before 8 o'clock this morn ing the fire alarm was sounded, and It was discovered that the town Jail and old engine-house were ablaze. Before the fire department could roach the spot, the fire in these buildings was beyond control, and it was with the greatest difficulty that the blaze was kept from extending toother buildings in the vicinity. Frank McXalley was locked In the jail a lew hours before by Marshal Dolison, and it is supposed be set fire to the bed. He was burned to death, and bis charred remains were found beneath the debris after the flames had been subdued. Cornor Priugle called a jury today to inquire into the cause of tbe death of McNally and the jury rendered a verdict In ac cordance with tbe facta "lobe victim of the fire was about 40 year of age. He came from Michigan to thtp state and has resided in Crook eouii' for the post six years. He ap peared to be a man of educatiou, and had rtrany good traits of character, but bla kSfe for drink had wrecked his life, awl brought to an untimely end tbe eilstaiice of one who otherwise wouldjave been a useful citizen." Mr.irant, who drives the stage, stated Jhat the general supposition is that SftNally set fire to the building h-imself in a fit of despondency. A Big Fin I. Items J'ks the following from the Jacksonville Times nukes the public restless; The report published in the Times not long since, to the effect tbrt Lawrence & Cameron of Gall's creek had struck a rich ledge, has been con firmed, excepting that Ihe discovery is much richer than was at first sup. posed. Tbe owners bad a eleven tons of the ore crushed at Ihe I.lndleyou rjaidine creek one day this week, from wlrch wus obtained $4,300 in gold or nearly $440 a ton. As there is a large quantity of seemingly as rich quartz still in sight, it appears us if Lawrence & Cameron have a bonanza. Gall's creek is one of the richest districts in Oregon, but very few well defined ledges have u yet been found, pockets predominating. The Oregon. Governor Lord wishes to do honor to the new battleship Oregon, which is now being armed and will probably sleam up the Columbia within six mouths. He has therefore issued letter to the mayors of Oregon cities, setting forth u short history ot the Oregon and closing witii: "Believing we should foster nnd cultivate a spirit f state pride, and thinking the pres ent an opportune lime for action, I hereby Invite mayors of incorporated cities and representatives of couimer. cial bodies to meet in the state capitol, the-22nd day of April, 1895, nt 2:00 p. in., for the prpose of considering nnd terminating the matter of presenting the commander of the battleship a fitting token of our appreciation of the honor bestowed upon our stale." Burned by a Powder Explosion. Willie Churchill, aged 12, and bis cousin, near the same age, living near Bhelburn, were having an amateur Fourth of July last Saturday. They got a half a pepper can of powder and were building a fire and Intended to throw the powder in to see the flash. The fire did not burn quite fust enough so Willie go; down to blow it He blew a spark into the can and the doctor says be may possibly be able to save one eye, but the sight of the other is totally destroyed. His hair was burned close, his eyebrows are gone and his cheek la badly disfigured. The other bov was burned too, but net so badly. Sastroyad Dwelling and Contents, William Palmer lost bis dwelling and contents by Are mi night last week. The house is on land adjoining the Excelsior fruit farm near Monroe, and wus occupied by Mr. Palmer and family at the time. Before the family awakened one whole side of the house was a mass of flames, and in their haste to escape practically nothing of the contents wua saved. Tha loss Is perhaps f.500. It was a son In the same family, who aecluently eht him self lu the arm about a year ago.- AN OREGON TRAIN ROBBED SHERIFF BOQARD WAS KILLED. The North Bound Express Held Up in California The Sheriff Killed One of the Highway men Fireman Also Shot. MARYSVILLE, Cal., March 80.- The north-bound Oregor express train was held up at a point 100 yards or more below the crossing at Reed's station, seven miles south of this city, at about 1:45 this morning. The result of the hold-up was the death of James J. Bogard, thewell known aud efficient sheriff of Tehama county, who was a passenger on the train bound for liome.and occupying a berth in tbe tourist sleeping car, and a robber, six feel in height, weighing about 200 pounds, attired in a full and complete bicycle suit, over which he had a pair of slip overalls and in which there were two Improvised pockets made of toweling to hold pistols, two of which were found on him. Fireman A. Kethercott was ser iously injured, having received two wounds in different parts of tbe body. The first iutimation that the engi neer and firemen had of the presence of robbers was when, at the place mentioned, one climbed over from tbe blind baggage and commanded, at the point of a pistol, that Ihe train be stopped. This demand was s earnest that brakes were applied. When stop ped, they were commanded to move about one hundred feet further, which they did. Then the.j'ouhers caused them to jump from the train, and, with others who appeared to come from a hiding place in the roadway, made them request that the expreus car be opened, This wus done, but the robbers could fiud nothing of value in the safe, as the combination was not in the hands of the messenger. Tbe two railroad men were then com manded to go Into the cars. Tbe robbers had a leg of an old pair of overalls tied at one end, as tbey went through the first oar, the smoker, and made the passengers, who were few in number, put their coin and valuables in it, the fireman uelng custodian and guard behind which they stood. The colored porter In the sleeper just beyotind the d.iy coach became aware that a robbery was In progress, and, knowing that Bhwrift Bogard was in u berth, called hliu. That heroic man was in his shoes and trousers in an Instant, aud,armedwiih his heavy revolver, started for the door to tbe north. He crossed the platform be tween the sleeper and day coach, and, as he entered the latter nt thu south door, the robbers came lu at the north. The sheriff stepped to one side, aimed and fired. His bullet dropped the man nearest hi iu, hut the second failed to reach Its target. One of the robbers must have seen Bogard enter, and on doing bo jumped down, and running alongside of the car, entered and shot him from the rear, When the robber was shot he ex claimed: "I am done for!" Another asked: "Are you killed, Bill?" aud thereupon they hastily left the car, telling the now thoroughly frightened Haiti men not to follow. Tbe train then ran to this city, The booty was left In the car when the rob bers fled. The firen an Is seriously wounded. Tbe dead robber has been Identified as one McGuire, who claimed to be a bicyclist, They are believed to have been railroad em ployes before the strike. They came from San Francisco on bicycles.

Hammond and his associates, looking to a closing of the offer made yesterday for a modification of the orlgnal contraot.

Astorians are very confident, and many of tbein look forward to seeing the road com pleted within a much shorter time than that allowed in the contract just signed. Endorsed by Governors. BALTIMORE, March 30 In a dis cussion of woman suffrage at a Friend's circle last night, J. K. Taylor, prcsi dent, read extracts from letters just re ceived from governors of weetern states. Governor Morrill of Kansas, writes: "There has been no complaint. It seems to be successful.". Governor Mclutyre of Colarado, says: "Their advent into political life will positively and permanently ben efit all the people." Governor Richard of Wyoming: "Women are allowed all the privileges men have in voting. They are not al lowed to sit on juries, and do not ask for it any more than they ask for military rights." Justice Grossbeck, chief justice of the supreme court of Wyoming, says: "1 1 has been tried aud not found wanting." Suspended From the Ministry. BAKER CITY, Or.,March30.-Rev. Oscar A. rjmith, pastor of the M. E. church, was yesterday arraigned be- iwir n uutm ui luijuu y, uuuiptraeu r n number of ministers, Presiding Elder Anderson presiding, charged with de famation of character. The charge was sustained and Rev. Smith was suspended from the ministry until tha next meeting of the conference, at which time his case will be disposed of. ; Found Dead. TACOMA, March. SO.-Tbis morn ing Abe Gross, a well known merch ant, was foand dead In bis room in the Gross block with a bullet hole in his bead and a revolver between his legs. While indicatlous point to suicide, it can hardly be credited, bb bo had no troubles, so fur as known. Will Hold Over. The Salem Journal says that tha attoruey-geueral has this ufteruom filed with the governor, his opinion ;u to the status of the holding railroad commissioners, tbe pilot commission ers, the fish and game protector and the food and dairy commissioner. Ho has compiled an array of decisions that seem to establish the claims of a' I the above named officials to hold their olllees although not elected by the leg. Isluture, and the effect of this opinion, which Is purely advisory and not ju li cial, will be to declare that there are no vacancies. Thegrlst ot the opinion Is contained in the following para graph: "The language of the statue and the sections of the constitution iu our Btate are similar and lu some Instances almost identical with those discussed in the oases above cited, and in many of the Instances the courts hava held that the liiouiu- benl is not only defaoto, but ae jure, the officer. Surely theu there can bo nu authority to appoint." Mr. Idle man said to a Postman s "I have con sidered the matter thoroughly; have cited fourteen different cases, and am thoroughly convinced that I could not render a decision otherwise. I would like very much to see the power within the dictation of tha governor to appoint new commissioners, but, the laws will not permit It, and my decision was rendered strictly In ao oordauo with tba laws," Power - Latest U. 8.
