small boys, aged 8 and 11, who are
charged w ith attempted train wreck
ing. The boys have been living in
the country near Wallula with their
father, their mother having died sev
eral years, ago. The boys have had
no training at all and a good part of
the time have been left entirely alone
for days at a time while the father
was away at work. Lately the boys
have- been amusing themselves put
ting Kikes, railroad bolts and nuts on
the track lo the engine "buck."
They say It was great fun and didn't
know It was wrong.

at last set a man to watch, with the
f-fult that the boys were detected and
have been put In the care of Sheriff
Taylor until some disposition can be
made of them. They will probably be

and a cabin formerly stood there . The

the cabin formerly stood and was evi

FLAW IN NEW LAW.
OLYMPtA. Wash- July A flaw
has been discovered which will proba
bly render of noneffect a portion of act
relating to habitual criminals passed
by the laet Washington Legislature.
The law in question is known as the
cumulative sentence act. and was de
signed to give the courts authority to
add extra' punishment to criminal who
were found guilty of grand. la rcetry of
petit larceny when proof of previous
conviction could be produced by the
prosecuting attorney. The. court was
given liberty to double or even triple
the punishment. Unfortunately the
lawmakers neglected to state In the tl
tie of the. bill that misdemeanors were
included under its provisions, and the
title refers to felonies alone. ,The de
fect has been called to the attention to
a number of competent lawyers, who
agree that it Is serious enough to ren
der ,part pt the statute without effect.
That part which is defective Is realty
the most; Imporant, as It was. intended
to clear the state of criminals who con
stantly repeat petty offenses in order
to get the countie to care for them
when the - winter comes on. The law
was modeled after the California law
on the same subject and similar laws
in many joiner states.

Another Suii 1
RETAINS CONSCIOUSNESS
And Insists on Being Told When the Last Mo
ment Has Arrived-i-Scere in the Death
- Chamber Extremely Sad and the
i" Spectators Can Hardly -
Rcstrala Tears r :
ROME, July 7. An official bulletin,
' l ; 5 j ' ' ' . !
issued at S o'clock this morning, states
that the Pope rested easily during the
night and took some nourishment. His
Holiness will perhaps live throughout
the' day. - i - J -
ROME, July 7 (3:55 a. m.) Another
morning has broken on the pathetic
scene .within the simple chamber of the
Vatican where Pope Leo lies dying.
'As the soft light of dawn penetrated
Into the room, the Pontiff whispered to
his devoted physician that 'he desired
the shutters of the windows to be
opened, saying: "I wish' to see once
more, perhaps for the last time, the
rays of the sun." '
, It was Just a short while after the
Pope came back to consciousness from
a sleep which Dr. Lapponl had induced
by a strong dose of chloral. His sleep
was so death-like that the artificial
respiration was continued and Lappo
nl, every few minutes, leaned anxi-
ously over the couch to observe the
illustrious patient and listen to his
hardly perceptible breathing. The Pope
awoke wet with perspiration, feeble to
the extreme and his voice hardly au
dible. ' '-- ;
Fits of coughing brought pains in
his chest and, thinking , his end .was
now near, he ' said . to Dr. Lapponi;
"Tell me when the time really comes."
These seralngly last moments of
Leo are full of solemnity. Perhaps
his last hours woujd be less melan
choly and sad if the august suffer
er; were less conscious of the clreum-
stances and his mind less clear as
to the duration "remaining to him bei
fore he enters eternity.
The scene is so touching those pres-
ent can scarcely restrain their tears.
As hi nephew. Count Peccf, .stood be
side the bed. Pope Leo laid his hand
on. the head of the Count, , who was
about 'to leave the bedside With pa
femal affection, saying: "Take cour
age." -
Shortly after 10 o'clock at night the
Pontiff received the extreme unction.
At. 9 o'clock his condition seemed so
hopeless that only a short time ap
parently remained before he would
glide into his last sleep, and it was
decided- that ; the extreme unction
ceived the announcement with- his us
ual calmness and, though scarcely
able to speak audibly, he said he knew
should be given. The Pontiff re
his time had. come and he was ready
to appear before the Sublime Tribunal
with full trust in divine mercy.
When the ceremony was over. His
Holiness sank back on his pillow with
apparent relief that ail was done. Af
ter the administration of the vlata
cum, telegrams hoping for his recov
ery were .shown the Pope and he ap
peared to be much gratified.
One of the strangest features in his
condition is the interest he takes In
the telegrams ? inquiring about his
health. Yesterday, having heard that
a French lady, , whom he had receives
in audience a few weeks ago had tel
egraphed a mesaage of sympathy, he
not only asked to see the message, but
wished to read it.
'Gams to the List.
Berlin, July 7. The Pope, acordtng
to the Tageblktt, said to Cardinal Ag
liardl, when the latter tried to ?prevent
him from getting up, "I 'win noe die in
bed.- ; - -'-
Rome. July 7 (1:30 a. m.). Dr. Lap
poni has just expressed the opinion
that the Pope will live until morning.
His Holiness Is still conscious.
Dspsnds Upon .ths Stsamers.
Balitmore, ; Md, July 6. -Cardinal
Gibbinsbas made all preparations to
sail for Rome ln time to participate In
event of the Pope's death. ... As to his
ability to reach Rome in time to par
ticipate in the elect tion of a Pope to
succeed Leo he said: . ,
..'Everything will depend wpon the
tiai of the Pope's death. If he should
pass away at such time as will enable
m to catch R- steamer, s I should r-e
able to nwka the Journey within the -I
prescribed time. Th couclave must
begin to sit within ten days, but' ven
if I did not breach the Vatican until
eleven days, 1 should still be in time,
as there would be an allowance of one
day's grace.: "If the steamers are fa
vorable ; I, could reach Rome in Bine
days. ; S-" -'
' Speculating en Successor.
Rome, July 5reat activity reigns
among the Cardinals. Aow that it is
sure the conclave cannot be far off.
It is said that there has, been an ex
change of telegrams in cipher between
the members of the Sacred College In
Rome and those in the provinces
abroad. ' ; Innumerable rumors are cir
culating and scarcely any Cardinal la
deprived of the flattery of being the
considered candidate.
Cardinal Rampolia is thought by
many to have .the best chance of be
ing elected. According to the mosf
accredited Vatican gossip, however.
Cardinal Rampolia has entered into an
agreement with . Cardinal GottI, the
Prefect of the congregation of the
Propagranda, to support the election
of the latter on the condition that he,
himself be appointed Gotti's successor
as the Prefect of the Propagranda, as
the holder of Which post he is called
the "Red Pope." -

MAN WEARS FROG'S SKIN
PIECE OP A CROAKER'S CUTICLE
GRAFTED OX HIS
' ! HAND. :
ANN ARBOR, Mkh., July . The
unusual experiment of grafting frog
skin on the hand of a patient has been
succersfully performed at the Homeo
pathy Hospital of the Michigan Uni
versity by Surgeon Westfall. . Albert
White, a farmer workman, of Adrian,
had his hand caught in a sander and
lost eorne twenty inches of skin on the
palm and back of his hand.
At first skin from the pafleTTl's leg
was transplanted on the hand, but the
operation was slow and painful. Dr.
Westfall then secured a large live frog,
and after destroying Its brain, thor
oughly cleaned the skin, sliced the
white skin off its 'stomach and placed
the particles on the area to be covered.
These grafts were covered with very
thin rubber tissue, and that surround
ed by dressing- moistened by a common
salt solution. After ninety-six hours
the whole, dressing was removed. The
frogskin graft having, united the gran
ulation in the surface of "the raw hand
had pene rated up through the frogskin
and projected beyond the surface of
the latter.' so that the .whole surface
appeared red. " The cells in the frog
skin had begun to grow and covered
the whole surface of the new skin;
Mr. White expects to leave the Hom
eopathy Hospital in ten days with his
hand completely healed-
