THE BULLET AND THE LASH San Franciseo, Jan. 15.—Among the passengers of the steamer New- port, from Panama and way ports, were Lieutenant Arthur H. Dutton and J J. Many and fourenlisted men of the American-manned Columbian cruiser Bogota, which eailed from this port Oct. 7. The Bogota was commanded by Captain Henry M. Marmaduke of Missouri, who won fame during the civil war on the famous Merrimac. The returning American spoke in anything but enthusiastic terms of their experience in the Columbian waters. Lieutenant Dutton, executive, of- ficer of the Bogota, ina signed state- ment, says: “T never heard of a court martial while I was in Columbia, Punish- ments were carried out and the sen- tences fixed at the sweet will of those in power, The so-ca'led discipline of the army was maintained by the bullets or the lash, A trifling offense was at times pun- ished by 100 lashes on the bare back with a flexible cane. Men were shot for mere hothing. » A few days after peace was declar ed two Liberal officers who - Te- fused to acquiesce in the conditions, but were captured, were taken to the Chibui fortress in Panama and there lashed brutally, until dead. Some prisoners who had been taken after particularly stubborn resist ance, had their legs and arms cut or thei and were then released,to be maimed through life. Some died from loss of blood. One of several schooners, loaded with refugees which the Bogota was towing, sprung a leak in deep water atsea. Thé refugees were rescued and the captain and the crew of five men were about to follow them when the Columbian officials in charge or- dered them back on the doomed schooner. “Let them perish with her,” he ex- claimed. These unfortunates, inno. cent of any wrong doing, were left to their fate on asinking schooner, with no sails and no boats.” Simple Colds, Cease to be simple, if at all pro- longed.

A Deluge of Proposals. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Jan. 13.—Over 500-proposals of marriage are atthe disposal of Mts, William Houghton, of Southington, O., and she is so tired of it that she is begging the postal authorities to stop the flow of letters. A couple of weeks ago a letter was received by Postmaster Hahn, of this city, signed with Mrs. Houghton’s name, and proposed marriage to any good man who wanted a fine, buxom widow and a big farm. The letter was published and applications poured in. Postmaster Hahn has nowreceived a letter from Hougton, saying she did not write the letter, and that over 500 applications have been re- ceived. She is tired of getting them, she says. She has no farm, buta large family which she is working hard to maintain, and she does not want to be bothered with then. She asks Postmaster Hahn to call them off. Secret of the Vampire. Chicago, Ill., Jan. 15.—The secret of “The Vampire,” the ghoulish pic- ture of Sir Philip Burne-Jones, im- mortalized by Rudyard Kipling, in his ‘Rag anda Bone and Hank of Hair” poem was revealed by the ar- taking the life blood from the lover. “I want to lay the ghost of that atory forever,” said the painter, as KILLED IN CAVING TUNNEL. The Victim of this Accident, W. L. Stapleton, Formerly Lived at Johnstown, in this County and is Known to All the Old Settlers of That” Community. Granite, Oreg., Gem. Whileat work about 20 feet from theface of No. 3 Monumental drift at the old Monumental mine near Gran- ite, Mr. W. L. Stapleton was caught under about 2,500 pounds of falling rocks. The accident occurred Wed- nesday morning at about 9:30, and a in death at 11 o’clock that Oscar Benson, who has charge of the work at the mine, was the only person near Mr. Stapleton when the dirt fell. Hi account of the accident is substantially as follows: “At the mowent Mr. Stapleton was struck by the falling rock, I waa dbout eight feet from the face of the drift, and the first intimation I had of anything unysual occurritig was the sound of the rock and a groan from Mr. Sta pleton. He was several feet from me shoveling into a car, and when | ot to him was in a sitting position, cov- ered to his shoulders with rocks and dirt. Hedid not speak after being struck, but groaned continually, It took me sometime to get him from under the dirt, after which I carried him to the blacksmith shop at the mouth of, the tunnel, where | left him. Telling his wife of the accident, I then came to town to secure medical aid.” Dr. Steincamp and a number of others left for the mine as svon as they received word, arriving there about four hours after the cave in happened. Everything possible was done to relieve the suffering man, | progre ss toward the reign of peace and good will promised and pro- claimed by the greatest of all teach- ers. é One of the most hopeful signs af the times is the acceptance in theory of the doctrine of peace. Whatever they may be driven to by stress of circumstances, governments and rul- ers in these days are disposed to shun rather than to court warfare. In no civilized country to-day is the public looking for a conquering lead- er who has the genius to bring the whole world to his feet. The leader, or the statesman, who commands admiration, is he who cancontribute to the prosperity and enlightenment of his people by the arts and triumphs of peace. War calls for explanation and apology. It must show cause why it should not be condemned at the bar of public opinion. Much as we may admire an Alexander ora Ceasar or a Napoleon as a historical figure, we would, at close range, con- sider him an intolerable nuisance who must be suppressed at any cost. This change in the world’s attitude is hopeful, if it is not always effective in preventing sanguinary conflicts, Whatever is the fruit of human ac- tion must first take root in the minds and there develop into the purposes of individuals and of nations. For this reason the theoretical accept- ance of the doctrine of peace is astep toward the practical realization of the ideal, Another definite step is the fact that wars are not undertak- en nowadays from the lust of con- quest and of territory, Modern wars are provoked by some real or alleged breach of faith, or menace, and territorial acquisition is an inci- dent rather than an inspiration, No nation, however it may desire to preserve the peace, can refrain frem the horrors of war when that is the ouly way that is open to the asser- tion of its rights. but it was seen at once that there was no chance for bis recovery. His skull was fractured from the right temhle across the forehead above the right eye and under the left eye. The only other cut on his person being on the left arm above the elbow, and but very few bruises were found on his body. By many it is consider a miracle that he was not killed in- stantly. A number of experienced miners have examined the place where the cave occurred, and they say that for about 100 feet from the face, the drift is a perfect death-trap, with not a single stick of timber for protec- tion. The formation of the rock is porphryritic granite; seamy and broken. The seams are filled with tale that slacks‘ as the air comes in contact with it and causes the walls and roof of the drift to sluff off in large pieces. It is quite clear that the accident could have been avoided if precaution had been taken to tim- ber the dangerous ground. Mr. Stapleton had been employed at.the Monumental for about eight months. He was well knewn aud respected in the community as an up- right and honest man. He was 30 years old last May, and leaves a wife and little son, three years of age, to mourn his untimely death; also par- ents at Clinton, Mo., two married sisters, one at Clinton, the other at Kansas City, and Miss Cora Staple- ton, of Granite. He was a nephew of S. W. and G. H. Gutridge, Mrs. Jack- son and Mrs Grant Thornburg, all of Granite. The funeral took place this after- noon at 2 o’clock, a large number of deceased friends gathering at the grave to see the last sad rights per- formed. Thedeath at the Monumental mine calls to the minds of old timers another tragedy which occurred at the mine abqut twenty years ago in which a man named Motley was kill- ed by an explosion of giant powder. Peace and Good Will. From the Toronto Mail and Empire, Never since the message of peace and good-will was proclaimed has the theory of it been more generally accepted in the minds of men and of nations than at the present time, {PTiate $4,000 to be expended for Yet we are seemingly still very far from this universal adherence to the great truth in practice.

A New York Doctor's Experiment With Formaline. New York, Jan. 16.—At the last meeting of the New York Obstetrical society, Br. Charles C. Barrows, of this city, submitted a report of an experiment with formaline, known as the strongest of antiseptics. Hehad made the investigation in Bellevue hospital on a patient, who, after giv- ing birth to a child had a tempera- ture of 108 degrees and a pulse of 160. When the patient was admitted, she was suffering from sepsis or blood poisoning. A blood culture was tak- en, and it was found to be fullof septicaemia, known to the medical profession as streptococci, After the injection of formaline the patient re- covered rapidly. The belief at the start was that the patient was dying and most radical measures were used to save life, Formfaline was injected into the left arm. The effect seemed, according to Dr. Barrow’s report, to be almost instantaneous. A second injection was given her and her pulse aud tem- perature fell to normal. The patient is recovering now. Experiments are being made on animals and further important results are expected. The injection of formaline into the veins had never been heard of until Dr. Barrows read his paper. Punama Route Abandoned. Washington, Jan. 15.—The plan to bu.ld @ caoal across the Isthmus of Panama has been abandoned and the president is expected to make tue official announcement to congress, with a suggestion that the Nicara- gua route be used. It is said Mr. Roosevelt, in view of the fact that Germany is reported to be seeking the franchise to builda canal across Panama, will .ask con- gress to declare that any effor on the part of European power to do this will be punished thorowshly for the attitude.
