Newberg, Ore, April 25.—Mrs. F. B. Rollins, who came here a year ago from Rochester, Minn,, killed her two- year-old daughter with an axe, strik- ing her three blows on the head. The father jumped a fence just in time to save their son from the mother’s de- termination also to kill him. Agree on a Wage Scale. Wellston, O., April 25.—An agree- ment was reached between miners and operators of sub-district No. 2, dis- trict No. 6, embracing Vinton, Jack- son and Lawrence counties, regarding wages and working conditions for the next two years. origin of Oid Glory. In the reminiscences of Lord Ronald Gower is found a story of the origin of the stars and stripes. The “star spangled banner” of the American republic had its origin from an old brass on the floor of an ancient church in Northamptonshire. The brass covers the tomb of one Robert Wash- Ington and is dated 1622. On it ap- pears the Washington coat of arms, consisting of three stars, with bars or stripes beneath them. On the first day of the new year, 1776, the thirteen united colonies raised a standard at ‘Washington's headquarters. This introduced the seripes of the present, but retained the crosses of St. George and St. Andrew on a blue ground in the corner. In 1777 the erosses were replaced by stars, as the Declaration of Independence rendered the retention of the English element unnecessary and inconvenient. In thus adopting the arms of his ancestors as his own distinctive badge Washington no doubt intended the flag merely as a private signal for. his own personal fol- lowing, but it was at once adopted as 2 national emblem. Probably there is not another case in the world’s history in which the private arms of an ob- scure family have attained such world- wide eminence and repute. The Bank Could Stand It. A western lawyer tells of a remark- able instance of the convincing power of feminine logic as evidenced by an occurrence which he once witnessed while standing on the edge of a crowd that was besieging the doors of a bank supposed to be on the point of sus- pending payment. A conversation between a rosy cheek- ed Irishwoman and her husband, who were near the lawyer, at once attract- ed his attention. “Mary,” said the man, “we must push up, so ye can dhraw your money at onct!” “But I don’t want to draw it out, Roger,” replied Mary placidly. “Don’t ye know, Mary,” persisted the ‘husband, “that they’ll 10se your mon- ey for ye if ye don’t hurry t’' dhraw it out?” “An’ shure, Roger,” retorted Mary, “ain’t they better able to lose it than we are?” Roger was stunned by this unan- swerable logic, and after a few more words the two withdrew. Fortunate- Iy the bank survived its difficulties, and no depositor lost a cent.—Harper’s, A Purse For the Bride. Some brides may be inclined to re- gret that the old marriage custom of the dow purse has fallen into disuse. It was the custom of the bridegroom to fill a purse with a goodly sum of money and present it to the bride on the wedding day as the price of the purchase of her person. It sounds like slavery, like the buying of goods and chattels, yet the bride had a nice lit- tle sum of money for her own use. Some of the oldest inhabitants of Cumberland may remember a similar custom in that county. The bride- groom provided himself with a num- ber of gold and silver pleces, and at the words “with all my worldly goods I thee endow” he handed the clergy- man his fee and poured the other coins into a handkerchief held out for that purpose by the bride. In other places, again, the bride had the right to ask her husband for a gift of money or property on the day after the wed- ding, and he was bound in honor to grant the request.—London Answers, 8ixty Kinds of Ban: To most persons in the temperate zones a banana is a banana. But the truth is that there are over sixty known varieties of the fruit, with as Jreat or greater variation in character as in the different kinds of apples. Hawail is said to have something over forty distinct varieties of the fruit, most of which have been introduced by the whites. Some of these are of extremely delicate and deliclous flavor, while other kinds are used, if at all, only when cooked in various' ways. There is scarcely a city house lot or country “kuleana” or homestead which does not have a clump or two of ba- nanas, which grow with practically no care, new plants or suckers shooting up to replace the ones which have frulted and been removed.—Los An- gelea Times. i — |SEVERE STORM ON GREAT LAKES Shipping Imperiled by the High Winds Prevailing, INMENSE DAMAGE DONE Freezing Temperatures Throughout the Western Lake Region and the Mississippi Valley Have Practically Destroyed All Budding Fruit and Resulted in a Loss of Many Millions of Dollars. Chicago, April 25.—The eastward moving storm, manifested first in rain and high winds, developed snow and freezing temperatures in the Western lake region and in the Upper Missis- sippl valley. In the fruit belts of Northern Indi- ana, Western Michigan, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Minnesota and Wisconsin budding fruit was damaged to the ex- tent of millions of dollars, according to reports from the sections affected. At Buffalo, Chicago, Milwaukee, Du- buque and other cities in the path of the storm the thermometer dropped from 22 to 28 degrees over night. Lake Michigan was lashed into a fury. The Goodrich liner Iowa, with thirty passengers and a crew of twen- ty-five, is fast aground south of Racine on a sandy point which, it is supposed, the navigating officer of the steamer mistook for the Racine pler as a re- sult of the blinding blizzard. - The pas- sengers are in no danger, for the Ra- cine lifesaving crew is standing by ready to give assistance. Equipped With wmg& The steamer went aground before daylight and it is equipped ;with wire- less. The Racine lifesavers were on their way in fifteen minutes. The wireless reports to the Milwaukee office say the steamer is in 'no imme- diate danger. There was no panic. Steamers from Milwaukee and Chi- cago will try to pull the Iowa off the sand. Because of the blinding snow and the howling of the gale the steamer City of Benton Harbor, bound from Benton Harbor, Mich., to Chicago, was unable to locate the harbor, her ice encrusted hulk showing inside the river several hours later. The steamer Puritan, leaving Chi- cago bound across the lake, was beat- en back to her dock by the gale. The small lumber schooner Cora was caught thirty miles out by the storm and experienced the gravest danger in making her way back to her wharf. FROST MAY HURT GRAIN Feared Germinating Seed Has Sus- tained Damage. Grand Forks, N. D, April 25.—Fear exists that the heavy frost had some effect upon the grain already sown and with the thermometer quite low the situation is still further aggra- vated. The wheat sown and which had come up must take a new start by rea- son of the frost. It is a question as to whether the frost was severe enough to touch the germinating seed, for, if this has hap- pened, considerable work will have to be done over again. STUDENTS AND POLICE CLASH Six of Former Laid Unconscious by Officers’ Clubs. \ Chicago, April 25—Twaq. hundred and fifty freshmen and sophomores of Northwestern university fought with policemen jn the banquet hall of the Woman’s ¢lub at the Evanston Y. M. C. A. building on the occasion of the annual banquet of membe¥s of the sophomore” class. S8ix of “the col- legians fell unconscious beneath the policemen’s night sticks. Previous to the banquet hall riot five of the so- phomores’ seven speakers were kid- napped by the freshmen and taken from Evanston in automobiles. The sophomores retaliated by capturing two freshmen and tying thém with ropes to hot radiators in the banquet hall. The captives yelled with pain and within a few minutes 100 fresh- men “rushed” the banquet hall to res- cue them. Many were seriously in- Jured in the free-for-all fight that fol- lowed. R WISCONSIN TO BE RETIRED Battleship Was Launched Less Than L Ten Years Ago. New York, April 25.—The battleship ‘Wisconsin, whose sailors have made themselves famous as the publishers of the Badger, is anchored in the Hudson for what will in all probability be her last visit to New York. Not quite ten years ago the Wisconsin was launched in San Franoisco. ‘When she 'leaves New York in a few days she will go into retirement from active service in the navyyard at Portsmouth, N. H. Most of her men will be transferred to serve out the rest of their time on the battle- ship Delaware, one of the new Dread- naughts. ROCKEFELLER MAY ASK FOR STATE CHARTER Tires of Congresslonal Delay In | Approving His Plans. ‘Washington, April 25.—John D. Rockefeller has reached the conclu- sion that he can distribute his enor- mous fortune for the benefit of man- kind without the approval of con- gress. He has grown tired of waiting for action on the bill to establish the Rockefeller foundation. He desires to expedite the work of extending his benefactions under the new plan and is not inclined to waste much more time. In order to give his new charity added dignity Mr. Rockefeller sought to se- ocure & charter from congress. He never dreamed there would be any pronounced opposition to the sugges- tion. As'nearly two months have elapsed’ without the slightestsign of action by the senate on the bill Mr. Rockefeller has determined to seek some other method of distributing his money. He is contemplating a state charter ang, will doubtless secure one if congress does 1lwt pass his bill at an early date. IN SEEKING FOR A CHILD| Chicago Man Perishes in His Burning Home. Chicago, April 25.—Nelsoa Harrison, forty-three years old, was burned to death in a fire at his home while try- ing to rescue a neighbor’s child which he supposed was sleeping on the sec- ond floor. Mrs. Eleanor Harrison, his wife, was also burned and will prob- ably die. The four children were se- verely burned. Harrison, who slept on the first floor, was -aroused by the smoke. After helping his wife out he went up stairs and aroused the children. After getting them out he thought that a neighbor’s child was still upstairs and went back. His lifeless body was found by theé police after the interior of the building was practically de- stroyed. THREE TAKEN OUT ALIVE Death List in Ohio Mine Disaster Only Fifteen. Steubenville, 0., April 25.—Seven dead men and three miners still alive were found and removed from the wrecked Youghiogheny and Ohio Coal company’s mine at Amsterdam, twen- ty-five miles northwest of Steuben- ville. The figures in the tragedy are: Thirteen dead men, ten rescued alive, ell but one of whom will live; two men still missing. HOOKWORM NEAR CAPITAL Residents Fear Disease May Enter o Washington. 5 ‘Washington, April: 25.—Government employes are much perturbed over re- portsirwhich indicate that the hook- wormdisease, dread: foe' of all work, is approaching the national capital. In WVirginia, only a short distance south of Washington, it was found in on~ school that thirty-seven out of the thirty-nine pupils harbor hookworms, while the two children who did not have them moved to the country from ‘Washington only last fall.

GIVES MESSAGE T0 THE FRENCH Ex-President Roosévelt Ad- dresses Notable Audience. | CITIZENSHIP HIS THEME Declares Greatness of a Republic De pends on Its People and As: s Hu: man Rights Are Paramount Over Property Rights—Tells His Hearers Race Suicide Is a National Crime Which Nature Is Sure to Punish. Paris, April 25.—Theodore Roose velt, former president of the .United ‘States, delivered his eagerly awaited ‘hlocture on “Citizenship in a Republic” in the Sorbonne. His audience was ,composed of all of the members of the French cabinet, students selected from the University of Paris and many distinguished guests, by whom the oc- casion was regarded as the most im- portant feature of the distinguished American’s visit to France. In the course of his address Mr. Roosevelt made reference to the sub- ject of human rights and property rights in the following paragraphs: “My position as regards the moneyed interests can be put in a few words. In every civilized society property rights must be carefully safeguarded. Ordinarily and in the great majority of cases human rights and property rights are fundamentally and in the long run identical; but when it clear- 1y appears that there is a real conflict between them human rights must have the upper hand; for property be- longs to man” and not man to prop- erty. L Other Points in Address. “The main source of national power and greatness of republics is found in the average citizenship; therefore the average citizen must be a good citi- zen. “It is not the critic who counts, but the man who strives to do things. Re- publics have no room for those who deride efforts of those who bear the brunt of the day. “Commonplace, everyday qualities and virtues are more important than intellect. Such qualities include will and power to work, fight if needed, and have plenty of children. “Race suicide is a national crime which nature will not fail to punish. Of the fundamental virtues the great- est is the power to perpetuate the Tace. “A citizen is useless if inefficient, and must have those qualities which direct his efficiency into channels for the public good. E “Unjust war is a crime against hu- manity, but the choice must ever be in favor of righteousness whether the alternative be peace or war.” Spends Day in Latin Quarter. Mr. Roosevelt spent the day in the old Latin quarter across the Seine, which for ceaturies has been ome of the intellectual cemters of the world. At 1 o’clock, in his capacity as a for- eign member of the French institute, he attended the regular session of the Academy of Moral and Political Sciences in the conference hall of the old Mazarin palace. This room was selected instead of the smaller room n which the “forty immortals” meet in order to permit the usual meeting blnaa of three of the academies, the rlendsmy of Fine Arts, the Academy of Insoriptions and Literature and the Academy of Moral and Political Selences. Although Mr. Roosevelt is entitled to wear the ‘green, brocaded uniform of an academician he appeared in his familiar frock’coat dress. At 3 o’clock he delivered his lecture in the grand amphitheater ‘of the Sorbonne, where he was most cordially received. His remarks were followed with intense interest. Horse Steps on Child’s Face. Pembina, N. D, April 26.—The three-year-old child bf Mr. and Mrs. John Howell of Joliettem, this county, was the victim of a terrible accident. Falling over the dashboard of a buggy her face was crushed horribly by the horse, which stepped back sufficiently to crush the little one’s head under its hoof. There is some chance of her recovery.
