ALL FOR THE PUBLIC GOOD.
It is an undisputed fact that the hand
somest vestibule trains that are now
run on the American coutinent are those
on the "Bchi.inoton ItorTR," leaving
the Union Depot in Denver, also St.
Paul, immediately on arrival of all
through trains from the west. The first
and second class coaches are mairnifi-
oent, the Reclining olmir cars superb,
the Pullman sleepers extremely luxuri
ant, and as for the meals that are served
in those Palace Burlington dining cars
- yum-ynm. The next time you go east
to Kansas City.Chicsgo or St. Louis, if
yon mention to the ticket agent that
yon want your ticket to read from Den
ver or St. Paul over the Bnrlinirtou
Route, you will get it, and yon will al
ways be glad of it.
If you go via the Northern or Canadi.
an Pacifio, the elegant yestibnle trains
of "The Burlington Route," between St.
Paul, Chicago aud St. Lonia will carry
yon alon;; the eastern shore of the Miss
issippi river for a distance of 850 miles,
amidst scenery that cannot be surpass
es.; or, ii yon go via tne Oregon rihort
Line or Southern Pacific, Dd your ticket
reads via "The Burlington Route." from
Cheyenne or Denver, you will nam
through all the thriving cities and towna
located in what is popularly known aa
the "Heart of the Continent." For fur

EATING HUMAN FLESH.
Desperate Resort to Which Starving Mariners
Were Reduced.
Baltimobe. Oct. 25. Carl Graves, fire
man, and Ludwig Lniler, seaman, 8'ir
vivors of the orew of the Bteiitnship . j. ,
moor, told laat nik-Ut a borriblo "stary ,u
detail of the way they sustained life by
canibalism for days. Loder sitj'9 : "The
only food we had for fifteen days in the
boat was flying fish aud a few raw stnuH
sea birds, to be divided among eleven,
men.
"On the sixteenth day, William Davin,
a seaman, caught rue by the throat nnd
aud made a dash at my head witli a
knife. He .out nie on the right oherk
the soar from which still remains as yon
see. He was told to kill me by August
Plagge, a fireman. When Davis began
to out meBomeof myaompariions caught
him, but others shouted: 'Kill him! Kill
hira! We want something to eat; we are
starving!' It seems that Plagge, Davis
aud the others iu one end of the boat
decided that I should die, I suppose be
ing pretty fat, I looked inviting.
"Plagge was phioed on watch that

William Wright, the cook, was ordered
to oarvethe body. The first thing done
was to smash in Bobinson'o skull, and
from the fraature eaoh one suoked the
blood as long as it would laat, which
was but a little whilo. Then the oook
stripped the flesh from the ribs and plac

out Robinson's heart, liver aud other
parts that would furnish blood to be
sucked, they threw the mutilated body
into the sea.
"Two days after Robinson's death, the
third engineer, Thomas Hunt, died. Ihi
body was also cut up for food.
"In about three days the limbs and

Both Graves and Loder say they have

IDAHO'S PROGRESS.
Everything In Readiness to Vote on Statehood.
Washinoton, Oct. 22. George Ii.
Shoup, governor of Iduho, in his annual
report, gives important provisions of the
constitution, which will be submitted to
the people for their adoption at the elec
tion to be held November 5th. Idaho,
he states, claims all the essential qualifi
cations necessary to assuma the diguity
and responsibility of statehood, steady
growth in population and taxable prop
erty, and a large increase in producing,
the yield of valuable metals nearly doub
ling that of last year. All these
show, the governor thinks, that Idaho is
in the line of progress.
The report states that there are over
25,000 people iuldahe who are adherents
of the mormon faith. Tho population of
the territory is 113,777. Polygamy, how
ever, is not at the present time openly
practiced iu the territory, but, the gov
eruor adds, that it is practiced secretly
to a limited extent there seems to be no
doubt, as indictments are found at near
ly evory term of court held and a number
of convictions have been secured.
He states that he has reason to behove
a division of sentiment is springing up
in the church, ou the subject of
the practice of polygamy. Under the
new constitution polygamy will be pro
hibited, and the insertion of this provi
sion may be regarded, the report says, as
an expression of the voice oi the people
of the territory on that subject.

Conviction of Lattin, the Mur
derer, at Tacoma.
THE VILLI AN DESCRIBES THE DEED
A Cold-Ulooded Murder.
Tacoma, Oet. 25. The jury iu the Da
vid L itriu oase, for the murder of 0. G.
Grant, brought iii a verdict of guilty, aud
Lattiu reoeived a sentence of twenty
years in the penitentiary. After the
sentence Lattin turned to bis counsel
and whispered that it was as cold-blooded
a murder as was' ever committed.
He afterwards gave the details. He met
Grant at Pasoo., There Grant showed
him a $100 bill. At Tacoma he made up
his mind to rob him. He bought a
bottle of whiskey, drugged it and gave
it to Grant, who did not drink it, but set
it ou the dresser. He also procured a
billy, some chloroform and a large re
volver. After Grant had been asleep an
hour, Lattin arose aud struck him a
heavy blow with the billy, expecting to
knock him insensible. Lattiu also had
chloroform to keep him quiet, intending
to take the money of Graut aud tell the
laudlady he was not feeling -well aud
not to wake him in the morning.
This would have given the murderer
time to get out of the country.
The billy broke and Grant awakened
and sprang out of bed. Lattin had a
large revolver in his hand and iu the
struggle for the possession of it Lattin
shot at Grant and missed him, then got
away and ran out of the room. Grant
followed to the door, when Lattiu shot
through the door and killed him.
THE WILLOW CHEEK LINE.
Needs Fencing for the Protection of Our
Stock.
The Lexington Budyet, who seems to
kuow, says of a mutter whioh is of groat
importance to both the Rail Road Com
pany and the public along the lino, as
also to the traveling community:
The right of way of the Willow Creek
branoh road ought to be fenoed. Run
ning as it does along the creek where
horses aud cattle go to water or are con
fined in pastures, the road and bridges
form many traps for those animals,
which are iu turu a constant mention to
the safety of passengers and ouiployos
on the truing. Horses and cattle are
frequently killed or crippled, and not
long since seven horses were killed at
one time near Lexington. Receutly a
mare belonging to Chas. Pierrot, while
attempting to cross a bridge bolow town,
fell with its legs between the ties and
was killed in being removed from the
bridge. . Again, two large and valuable
mares owned by A. C. Pettys (;tt upon
a bridge iu the same way, and one oi
them was killed and the other orippled
before they could ho extricated. Who
can say what would have been the con
sequonoos had a traiu roundod the sharp
curve at the latter place where these two
heavy animals wero upon the bridge
wih their lugs between tho ties? Sev
eral serious accidents have recently been
caused on other roads by stock on the
track and the wonder is that the loss of
life was not greater. Perhaps there is
no probability of accidents upon this
road; perhaps the cost of slock killed iu
a year would not go fur towurd fencing
the track; but in the light of recent
events it oertainly appears that it would
be a very pious idea to fence this ex
posed piece of road.
GRASSES FOR ARID LANDS.
The Seeds of Grasses and Forage Plants To
He Sought for in Foreign Lands.
A recent Washington dispatch soys:
"Dr. Veasey, chief of the botanical di
vision of the agricultural department,
has returned after nu extonsivo tour
through tho arid regions of the Western
states and territories, conducting inquiry
into the question of bringing up to the
standard of utility arid wastes that can
not be made useful by water irrigation.
He has no doubt that by the introduc
tion of grasses adapted to tho soil in lo.
oalitins where there is no water to he
had, the grass product of tho arid re
gions can be moro than doubled, and in
some cases tripled aud quadrupled.
The department contemplates the send
ing of an agent to Asia aud Australia at
an early day to make selection of grasses
whioh will be given a trial in carrying
out the object in view."
The seeds should be sought for in re
jmoiis similar to the elevated plateaus of
the Great Hasin region in which it is in
tended to plant them. In the arid re
gions bordering the Amour river, and in
the lulls surrounding the Gobi ties i t,
aro several kinds of grasses that ullbrd
forage for immense herds of horses, c at
tic, sheep and goats. In that country
are also several kinds of shrubs bearing
pods that are tilled with brums that are
very fattening and much relished by
horses and cattle. Doubtless the seeds
of many valuable grasses and plants may
be found that will thrive in our arid zoips,
and it is pretty well ascertained that
much may be done with some of the for
age plants we already possoss. It has
been found that nl fulfil will grow even on
the most rooky and rugged of our hills
without artificial irrigation. Once il
becomes fairly rooted nothing kills it
out, Kuch year the stalks increase iu
size, till at lust the individual plants ex
ceed iu beighth and space uo ordinary
sagebrush.

THE INDIAN SCHOOL.
It Will Be Removed to Pendleton Because
of the Unsafe Condition of Its Present
Quarters.
From tlieE. O.
Agent Moorhouse is in receipt of a
telegram from the Indian department,
authorizing the removal of the Indian
school from the present building on the
reservation to the building on the corner
of Alta and Cottonwood streets, owned
by Mr. S. Rothchild, and whioh is now be
iug fitted up for the reception of the
school. The change is made because of
the unsafe and dangerous oharacter of
the present school building.
The school will remain iu Pendleton
until the prospective new government
school bnilding on the reservation is
finished. We understand there is a pos
sibility of its beiug allowed to remain
here permanently.
The change is doubtless the result of
Hon. Bingor Hermann's recent visit to
the reservation. He examined the
school building thoroughly, and re
marked on his return to Pendleton that
it was dilapidated in appearance and
dangerous in condition, aud "certainly
not calculated to impress the Indian
mind with a very high regard for our
boasted civilization," This opinion was
oommunicated to the department iu Mr.
Hermann's report on reservation mat
ters. U. S. Indian Inspector Cisucy'3 visit
to the Umatilla agency has also had
considerable to do, doubtless, with the
reniovul.
MISS HERMANN MARRIED.
The Congressman's Daughter Wedded to Dr

From the Oregoninn, Oct. 28:
The town of Roueburg is stirred up
over the marriage on Monday morning of
Congressman Hermann's daughter, with
out the couseutof her pareuts. Dr. Mil
ler had been paying atteutions to the
young lady, nud on Sunday night asked
the oougressniau for his daughter's hand.
Mr. Hsrmanu declined to give his con
sent, not because of persoual objections
to the suitor, but because he had out
lined a course of education in the East
for the young lady, and it was his desire
that she should undergo it. The state
ment that Dr. Miller was "removed from
the house without ceremony" is absurd
Miss Hermann overheard Iho conver
sation between her father and the doc
tor, and loft her home and stayed that
night ut a neighbor's. The uoxt morn
ing tho marriage took place. When
Congressman Heimiiuu heard of it he
did not become wratby us some papas

young couple a reception, and is report

he would not have denied his couseut.
AN INSOLENT A'JTOHNHV.

A dispatch from San Francisco, Out. 23,
says, the case iu whioh Luis Ojeda was
brought from Monterey by the police to
compel him to testify against Pauline
Townseud and Fannie Hylcon, charged
with having robbed him of one hundred
and sixty dollars, was called in Judge
Lawler's court to-day.
Crittcudon Thornton, ultorney lor
Ojeda, in addressing the court, claimed
that injustice had heeu done the com
plaining witness in bringing him back
to this city from Monterey to prosecute
this case, when he did not desire that
tho case should be pursued. After u few
remarks concerning tho arresting ollioor,
ho said: ''Your honor, whilo I um not
surprised at any of the uctjous of the
police in this oity, I um surprised at the
stand your court has taken iu tho mat
ter iu lending a helping hand to back tip
tho iio lino in their corrupt -methods.
This complaining witness does not care
to prosecute tho case, but ia compelled
to do no by help that has been given by
court to police oilioers." At this junct
ure, Judge Lawler stopped him, and in
formed him that he was in contempt of
court, and cited bin to appear to-morrow
to answer. Ho was released on (ivo hun-
Ired dollar bonds.

KNOWLEDGE OF THE ANCIENTS.
MiKjnetlc Matters as Understood by l'liilu.
Two Thousand Years Ago,
From (lie Young Californian.
The anoients know much more of tbe
nature of the magnet than is generally
supposed. Philo, who wrote almost two
thousand years ago in Vol. 1st, page 42,
Holm's edition, says:
"And tho stone culled mauuet is sub
ject to similar deterioration. For any
iron ring which touches it is held bv it
as firmly as possible, but another whlnh
only touches it is held less firmly; and
tne third ring hunira from Mm aeeoml
and tho fourth from the third, and the
fifth from tho fourth, and so on, ono
from another iu'a long chain, being all
held together by oue attractive power,
but still not all supported in the same
degree." And again at another place he
remarks, "Just its the wire is attracted
by tbe magnet. There is also a very an
cient poem entitled, "Shirin andFerhad,"
by an Arabian poet, which has the fol
lowing remarkable language:
."There is a strong propensity whioh
luiicos through every atom and altruots
the minutest particle to some partioular
object. Search the universe from base to
summit, from fire to air, from water to
earth, from all below tbe moon to all
above the celestial spheres, and thou
shalt not hud onooorpuscle destitute of
Unit natural uttructability. The very
point of tho first thread in this scorning
tiuieled skein is no othor than this prin
ciple of attraction, and all principles of
attraction, aud all principles beside are
void of a real basis. From such uro.
tensity arises every motiou in heaveuly
r pitrtlilv bodies; it is a disposition to
be attracted which taught h ird stool to
rush from its place and rivit itself on tbe
lagnet; it is the same disposition which
impels the light straw to attach itself
nrmly ou amber; it is this which gives
cry substance iu nature a tendency
toward another and an inclination forci
bly directed to a determinate point."
When we consider that this was writ.
ten a thousand years before our era, it is
most cxtruonliutiry.
