It is announced that the action was taken because of cer- tain questionable transactions in con- nection with McNutt's work in the La Grande district. McNutt was one of the principal wit- nesses for Receiver Asa B. Thomson in his recent prosecution upon the charge of soliciting bribes and his ac- tivity in behalf of Thomson was no- ticeable throughout the trial of the case. McNutt was appointed from In- diana less than a year ago and dur- ing most of his official career has been stationed at La Grande. His suspen- sion by Secretary Hitchcock is said to be another incident in the probing of vhglesale land frauds in Oregon under the direction of Inspector Greene of the Interior Department.

C., Dec. 8.—Lum- and shingle shipments from Vancouver to the Northwest and Manitoba have fallen off to such an extent that the Canadian Pacific Railway is now ship- ping empty cars back to the territo- ries, although several months age the local mill men could mot obtain suffi- cient cars. During the past three months the exportation of lumber to the Northwest has been gradually dropping off. In regard to the lumber situation in the interior of British Columbia the outlook at present indicates that the supply next season will far exceed the demand and the lumber men of East Kootenay are preparing to curtail the output. Wages have already been re- duced 12% per cent and another cut is contemplated. ———————— RANCHER FINDS GOLD WHEN DIGGING A WELL .

Young Herbert was edu- cated along unconventional lines by his father and his uncle, the Rev. Thomas Spencer, a clergyman of the established church, until he was 17 years of age, when he started in the rractical study of civil engineering. After following that profession for some eight years, during which he con- tributed sound, valuable papers to the Civil Engineers’ and Architects’ Jour- nal, a crash in railroad enterprises turned his efforts in another direction. As early as 1842 he had written for the Nonconformist a series of letters on “The Proper Sphere of Government,” which attracted attention to his ability and opened to him a career as.a writer. From 1848 to 1853 he was engaged as suh-aditor of the Kconomist and during that time published his first consider- able work, “Social Statics, or the Con- ditions Essential to Human Happi- ness Developed,” which foreshadowed the political -philosophy of his later writings. During the same interval he also contributed a number of articles for the Leader, a weekly publication founded by Mornton Hunt; the West- minster and other guarterlies. In 1852 Spencer began the series of essays which many critics reard as his best work. The third one of them was an argument for the development hypothesis of much force and original- ity. *In 1855 he published his *‘Princi- ples of Psychology,” which interpreted the general principles of evolution. In 1857 in an essay entitled ‘Progress—Iits Law and Cause,” which appeared in the Westminster Review, he maia- tained for the first time that evolution was a universal process, which convie- tlon is said to have taken such a deep root in his mind aseto be the turning point in his career. When, in 1858, he planned - his “Synthetic Philosophy,” evolution was made the keynote of the work. (This was four years before Darwin's “‘Origin of Species” ap- peared.) In it was incorporated the psvchology of 1855, and when, in 1896, after thirty-six years of labor, the work was finished, that was the idea that made it, mmore than anything else, a monument to his powers as an orig- inal and constructive thinker. Spencer’s health broke down in the latter part of 1855 and for a year and a half his pen was idle, though his brain was not. When he recovered, he spent a good part of his time in writ- ing various essays for quarterly re- views. In 1860 he issued the programme of his *“System of Synthetic Philos- ophy,” which propesed to carry out in its application to all orders of phenom- ena the general law of evolution as set forth in'the two essays published in 1857. To the execution of this work his subsequent life up to 189 was mainly devotéd. The works comffprising the sys- tem began with “First. Principles,” pub- lished in 1862, which had reached its tenth edition by ‘the time of the com- pletion of the series comprising the system in 1896. Among his other works, “The Study of Sociology,” published in 1873, went to.the twenty-first edition in 1894, and “The Man Against the State,” pub- lished in 1884, to the fourteenth edition in 1897. Besides his own proper work, Spen- cer published eight parts of the ‘‘De- scriptive Sociology,” arranged by him- self and compiled by Professor Duncan, Dr. Scheppig and Mr. Collier. This work was undertaken simnly for the purpose of nroviding himself with ma- terial for the “Principles of Sociology,” but was eventually published for the use of -others. In part VIII, published in 1881, the announcement was made that between $15,000 and $20,000 had been sunk in the undertaking and he copld no longer continue it. 3 n 1882 Spencer paid a visit to the United States and made a notable ad- dress at a banquet given in his honor in New York on the subject of relaxa- tion and rest. In 1883 he was made a correspondent of the French Academy of Moral and Political Sciences for the section of philosophy, in the room of Emerson, but declined it, as he dld other honors tendered him by societies and iversities, on.the ground that it came after the period of struggle, when it would have been of some assistance to him. In 1870, however, _Sir Julius Haast, the explorer, had ngmed a range of mountains on the western coast of New Zealand after him, to which he could not well demur. £pencer’s works have been extensive- ly translated; all of-them into French, nearly all into German and Russian and many jnto Spanish and Italian. One on education, published in 1861, Which went tc the thirty-eighth edition in English in 1898, was tianslated into Hungarian, Bohemian, Polish, Dutch, Danish, Swedish, Greek, Japangse and Chinase. In 1886 Spencer became an invalid and from that date to 1891 published noth- ing. Then he resumed work, among othér things completing the “Synthetic’ Philosophy’”” and publishing an abridged and revised edition. of “Social Statis- tics.” He also prepared a revised and enlarged edition of his “Essays” in three volumes in 1891. Abcut ten years ago he went to re- side at Brighton, where he devoted his time to the revision of “The Principles of Biology,” first published in 1864. Last year he published his last book, “Facts and Comments.” & collection of 0dd essays and papers on various sub- Jects, and which has had a wide sale. Spencer's knowledge of literature w: not extensive. Shakespeare and. t wereé his favorite authors. He had many warm friends. To those of his youth in Derby he always remained attached. 1n London his first associ- ates and friends were Dr. John Chap- man, the editor and vub;::er; Marian less the attempts to pull the crulser | pioe into deep water are m_w she will probably be pounded to pieces by =0 RENEW TALES OF DUNSMUIR Witnesses in Edna Wallace Hopper's Suit at Vietoria Repeat Stories of Revelry LIQUOR AND LITTLE FOOD Mother of the Deceased Man Is Made Plaintiff as Party to Contest Now Pending VICTORIA, B.

Smith, bellboy at the Grand Hotel, and Uriah McKee, watchman of the Occidental Hotel, gave evidence similar to previous witnesses of drunkenness and incapacity of the late Alexander Dunsmuir. Louis Ginter of San Francisco told of the late Alexander Dunsmuir’s ex- cessive drinking. ~He accompanied Alexander Dunsmuir to Victoria in 1898 and during that visit met James Dunsmuir, who told the witness to get Alexander Dunsmuir out of town or he would drink himself to death. The party went to New York from Victoria and Alexander Dunsmuir did not eat a bite during the trip. He drank continuously. His condition was weak. On the trip westward Dunsmuir did not eat and drank con- tinuously. He was dressed by the wit- ness. The case is being continued.

As no objec- tion was offered to the motion by the creditors, Judge Kohlsaat granted the request and Receivers Blount and Courier were discharged. While the receivers have been lieved frof further duty at Zion City, the bankruptcy proceedings are still maintained. these will be dismissed in a day or two or as soon as the creditors’ committee, appointed Monday, has had an oppor- tu‘ny to report on the advisability of accepting Dowie's offer of settlement. This provides for payment of all mer- chandise accounts within one year and the giving of notes in bearing 5 per cent interest. By terms of the agreement Dowie has| agreed to pay all the expenses of the receivership. The retirement of the re- celvers from Zion City appeared to please all parties concerned. Dowie, who was in court with his representa- | tives, appeared jubilant over theturn in his financial affairs.

At last, in Germany, my search was re- warded. I found a costly chemical that did not disappoint me as other Rheumatic prescriptions had disappointed physicians everywhere. I do not mean that Dr. Shoop's Rhetimatia Cure can turn bony joints into flesh again. That is impossible. But it will drive from the blocd the poison that causes pain and swelling, and then that is the end of Rheumatism. T know this so well that I will furnish for a full month 1 cannot cure ail cases within a month. It would be unreasonm- able to expect that. But most cases will, yleid within 30 days. This trial treatment will con- vince you that Dr. Shoop’s Rheumatic Cure js a power against Rheumatism—a potent force against disease that s irresistible. My offer is made to convince you of my faith, My faith is but the outcome of experience—of actual knowledge. Iknow what it can do. And I know this so well that T will furnish my rem- edy on trial. Simply write me a postal for my book on Rheumatism. I will then arrange with a druggist in your vichilty so that you can se- cure six bottles of Dr. Shoop's Rheumatic Cure to make the test. You make take it a full month on trial. If it succeeds the cost to you is $5 50, 1t it falls the loss is mine and mine alone. It will be left entirely to you. I mean that ex- actly. If you say the trial is not satistactory [ | don't expect a penny fram you. I have no samples. Any mere sample fhat can affect chronic Rheumatism must be drugged to the verge of danger. I use no such drugs, for it is dangerous totake them. You must get the disease out of the blood. My remedy does that even in the most difficult, obstinate cases. It has cured the cldest cases that I ever met, and in all of my experience, in all of my 2000 tests, I never found another remedy that would cure one chromic case in ten. Write me and I will send you the book. Ty my remedy for a month, for it can’t harm you It it falls the loss is mine. ‘Address Dr. Shoop, Box 630, Ractne, Wis.
