POPE S PINE TOMB ONLY A MYTH The Permanent Resting Place of Leo XIII Has Not Yet Been De cided Upon. Rome, July it.—The events of the last week have served to explode a theory that has been current for a number of years to the effect that Pope Leo XIII. bad erected for him self a magnificent tomb as his last resting place. This tomb was fre quently described as being consiruct ed of Carrara marble, with a lion upon the lid whose paws protect the pontifioial tiara. On the right was supposed to be a statue of Faith bear ing a candle and the Holy Scrip.ures; >n the left a figure of Truth bear ng the coat of arms of Leo XIII. upon i shield, and upon the pedestal the inscription: "Hie Jacet Leo XIII., Pontifex Mavimus. Pulvis est." (Here lies Leo XIII., Soveriegn Pontiff. He is dust.) This story was so generally circu lated that in many quarters it was ae •epted as truth, despite the fact that until his fatal illness the pope had never been known by his most inti mate associates of the Vatican to ex press any preference as to his final resting place. It was supposed by many who had enjoyed his friendship md "confidence that his preference was for the splendid new basilica erected during the last fifty years out side the walls of the city upon the spot where St. Paul, the Apostle, is supposed to have been buried. Pius IX raised most of the money and did most of the work and tho church was completed and decorated under the direction of Leo XIII.. although, strange to say. he never saw it. After his election to the i>ontifioiate he remained a nominal prisoner in the Vatican, and before that, although lie was in Rome much of the time, lie seems never to have had curiosity enough to go out to inspect the new church, which is a mile or more be yond the city gates. Near by is a, f-urious little chapel, erected three or four hundred j*ars &£o -to sjiot where St. Peter and St. Paul had their last interview and embraced each other before going to martyr dom. It was supposed that Pius IX. would be buried in the new basilica of St. Paul, in which he took so great an in terest, but to the surprise of every body he selected the old church of St. Lorenzo, in the most disreputable part of Rome, near by the principal cemetery. He was provided with a beautiful tomb in a subterranean chamber, lined with the finest modern mosaics in the world. The sarcopha gus is a very plain piece of marble, severe in its simplicity, but its sur roundings are superb. Shortly before he was taken ill Pope Leo XIII. expressed to Cardinal Satolli his wishes in regard to his funeral and burial, and it is probable that he indicated in his will the same desires as to where he would like to lie, though it is possible that a num ber of years may elapse before the final disposition of his remains is made. Tints, it was not until 18C.2. many years after his death, that the remains of Pius IX. were finally re moved from St. Peter's to the Church of St. Lorenzo. It is definitely known that, to Cardinal Satolli Leo XIII. ex pressed the desire to be buried in tiie church of St. John Lateran. The spot he designated is on the left of the apse above the entrance to the sacris ty, corresponding to the opposite niche in whicb is the monument erect ed by himself in 1881 to Pope Innicent 111. It is said that a statue of Pope Leo. forming part of tiie monument, has already been made. In other re spects the tomb will resemble that of Innocent 111., consisting of a sarco phagus with a has relief, two niches, two statues, and two medallions. VANDERBILT HIS FERRYMAN. New York. July 17.—William Blair, of River Edge, N. J.. was ninety-one years old today, and his relatives and neighbors gave him a reception on his lawn.

Th,. editor of the Argus has gone stark, raving mad over the defeat of the Ankeny machine through the per sistent efforts of the Statesman. Hav ing abandoned all the reform prin ciples that he formerly advocated and having staked his all on the continued dominance of a machine built up by corruption, bribery, intimidation and alliance with the most disreputable elements of the community, he now finds himself deserted by his former sup|>orters ami left to the mercy of a machine that cares nothing for a man who is no longer of any use to it. If any one doubts that the Argus editor has gone hopelessly insane, an exami nation ef the last issue of his Weekly Buzzard will convince the most char itable He throws one fit after anoth er, spasm upon spasm, until the unin formed reader would be forced to tbe conclusion that the paper was being edited as a diversion by patients in some lunatic asylum. The editor, in order to prove his de votion to the machine which has been giving him a few crumbs of patronage since his apostaey to the cause of re form last year! launched an evenintr paper during tiie recent city cam paign, thinking that he would turn the town lear over and wreck the States man by his ponderous onslaughts, but the result was just the opposite. The first issue of his paper exposed the fath annual session of the associa tion which will be held at Tacoma August 25, 2H and 27. The following papers will he read at that time: The address of the president, R. G. Hudson. Tacoma. "Life an»l Character of John B. Al len." Thomas Burke. Seattle. "Street Assessments," F. I). Xash, Tacoma. "Some Pioneer Judges I Have Known.' X. T. Cahon, Davenport. "A Theory of Legal Obligation." J. T. Condon. Seattle. "The Taxation of Franchises." J. B. Reavis, Tacoma.

T., July 17.— Everything is in readiness for the double execution which takes place here this afternoon in the federal jail stockade. The condemned persons are Charles Barrett, who killed John Hennessy, an aged miser, for his money, and Dora Wright, colored, wh whipped a little child to death and then mutilated the corpse to throw suspicion on a white man. Strenuous efforts were made to save the Wright woman from the scaffold, hut without avail. Her attorney journeyed to Washington in an effort to obtain clemency from the president. Mr. Roosevelt, however, after going over tiie transcript of the' evidence and learning the revolting character of the crime, said: "A woman mean enough to do that ought to have nerve enough to meet her punishment."

STUCK IN THE WELL Casing Proves Troublesome in Boring for Water OUT ON THE HOBSON PLACE Down to a Depth of 200 Feet Hard Basalt Rock Has Been Struck Which Makes Work Slow. J. s. McAusland. who is boring for artesian water on the Hobson ranch, lo miles southwest of Walla Walla, was in the city today and reported the drill down a depth of 200 feet and in hard basalt rock. Mr. McAusland said he was anxious to pierce the hard formation as there is little likelihood of striking flowing water in that stratum. He is of the opinion that a stratum of clay underlies the basalt and it is in this formation that he expects to make a strike if any water is to be found at all. The last week has been spent in fishing out a stretch of the iron casing which became detached near the bottom and made it impossi ble to send the drill down. The last section became detached from the main pipe and nearly a week of tedious work was required in fish ing it out. Everything else had to stop until the pipe was hauled out. Work will be resumed immediately. Mr. McAusland stated that as yet iie had made no arrangements to be gin boring on a proposed well at Touch* t station and possibly work would not he commenced until fall. Several farmers of that section have subscribed a sum to sink the well, which if successful will be used in common. CAMP TO INSTALL. At Odd Fellows' temple in Alder street this evening.

KRESSLY'S TANGLE in Affairs of Lucile Dreyfus Mining Co. mm mum stock indiscriminately and Hopelessly Mixed by the Dishonest Secretary. Such a legal tangle as the north west country has never seen is cer tain to bob up hi the courts shortly, jangling fnterests in the Lucile Drey fus company bring actions to get their s.i'M'k rtraighlened out. says the Spokane Spokesman-Review. The is genuine stock that has j never changed hands from the time-! 1 it was first issued years auo. There I! j 1 is stoersonally li able for all the damages whicb the company sustains as a result of Kress ly's frauds. As a Puny Whisper. These protests from inside the com. pany, however, are but pony whisper ings, compared with the roar that may bo expected from the people who bought the bogus stock from Kress !y. The outsiders are demanding that the company assume liability for all their stock, which was signed by the proper person as secretary and has the corporate seal duly affixed, even though the president's name was a forgery. These people want the full amount that they paid for the stock. The embarrassing character of their claim is easily apparent. There are 1,100,000 shares of bogus stock out, while the legal capital of the company i's but 1,000,000 shares. If the Lucile Dreyfus were to increase its capital to 2,100,000 shares in order to recog nize ali of this bogus stock there would still he trouble, for the 1,100,- --000 shares of bad certificates would then represent only a little more than a half interest in ihe mine and each share of bogus stock would be worth less than half of tiie value of a legiti mate share under the capitalistion. which the purchasers of bogus stock assumed they were getting. On the other hand, the Lucile Dreyfus com pany may he ordered to protect the holders of had stock, not, by increas ing the capital of the company, but by paying the purchasers damages amounting to the amount they spent on the purchase of the stock. Then the Lucile Dreyfus would have to pay claims of perhaps $30,000, and it i's doubtful whether the mine would sell for that if put under tire hammer. The line of authorities is so widely at variance that no lawyers attempt to say what the courts will decide when the cases come to trial. In some cases the corporation ;'s held re sponsible for stock wrongfully issued by a secretary, as was done in the Kressly case. In other cases no such liability is considered. Meanwhile the lawyers all over town are looking up authorities and are whetting their axes for the big battle that is to come. And a3 for Mr. Kressly. not a word has been heard of him si'nee he left Lidgerwood sanitarium. Ellis G. Soule. a trustee of the Dreyfus company, said: "The trus ses did not feel justified in spending the company's money to hunt him down, as there was no likelihood that he rould be made to give up any money that he had taken. He doubt less lost it all befo re he went to the wall." THREE MEN SAVE A BOY. Everett.—An 11-year-old hoy on a bicycle was struck by a west-hound street car just east of the viaduct, and had it not heen for the quick act ion of A. Tryo. Bob Seymour and J. W. Meece, would have been badly if not fatally Injured. The boy was riding in the same direction as the car when the motorman rang the bell. The hoy became nervous and turned in front of the car and the latter struck the wheel. For a moment he was thrown on top of the fender and then started to roll beneath it. Sey mour. Tyro and Meece were riding on the front platform, and while the car was still moving rapidly, as soon as they saw the accident the former swung out in front of the car. while the other two leaning out as far as they could, supported him. Seymour caught the lad's coat, just as he was rolling under the fender and pulled him out. Neither the boy nor his wheel was hurt. THE EVENING STATESMAN, FRIDAY, JULY 17, 1903. IT IS TOO CHEAP. insurance Company Quotes Rates Less Than Cost. Seattle—State Attorney General Stratton has begun proceedings in the superior court of this county to pre vent the Fraternal Knights and La dies, an assessment insurance con cern, from continuing business under its present scheme of organization. In substance ti. attorney general al leges that the concern is essaying to assume risks for a lesser sum than it costs to can- rem and that it must necessarily, un r the circumstances, ultimately meet h disaster. The society vas organized on April HI. 1903, and a copy of its mor tuary taldes and premium rates filed as an exhibit in the case reveal (hat it is soliciting business at a very much lower rate than concerns of this kind usually cpiote. The attorney general alleges that in fact its mortu ary rates are considerably lower than its assessments and points out that it must inevitably succumb to lite de mands of its beneficiaries. A restraining order is asked from tiie court to prevent, the company from writing further business until such a time as its rates are read justed to conform to the proven cost of writing the risks which it as sumes. HE TRIES TO WHIP EDITOR. Waterville Attorney Is Now Home Under Care of Doctor. Waterville, Wash.—W. .1. Canton is at his horn.- in this city sore and bruised and under the care of a doc tor. He made an attempt Tuesday morning to thrash one of the editors of the Douglas County Press. .Mr. Canton is a practicing attorney here and took exceptions to an arti cle printed in the last issue' of the Press. Mr. Canton called at the press office Tuesday morning and assaulted W. S. Trimble, one of the editors, attacking him. the newspaper men say. with a loaded cane. Mr. Trimble defended himself so well that the in truder was taken home and a doc tor summoned to attend him. M. Trimble resumed his duties. Trimble's partner. Hen Spear, was present at the time, but did not in terfere in the mixup. Mr. Spear says he did not mix up in it. CONTRACT FOR WOOD PIPE. Davenport to Extend Water Mains at Cost of $6820. Davenport. Wash.—V. Schroder of this city has been granted the contract for the extension of the city water mains. The new line of pipe will be of wood and will be laid from the new pumping station in. the east end of town, through the eastern part of the city and from thence westward to the standpipe. The new line of pipe will be about a mile in length. Mr. Sehroeder's bid was $3000 less than the next lowest bid. The bids sub mitted include the furnishing of the pipe and the laying of the lin P and are as follows: V. Schroeder, SoS2: J. P. O'Farrell, wood pipe $9880; iron pipe $9975; Peter Costello. wood pipe $9900. This will be the first wood pipr ever laid in the city, all of the other mains being of iron. Bears the The Kind You Have Always BoujM MARKET PURtLY LOCAL. As for some time back the wheat narket is purely a local one. the mills buying the little wheat changing .lands, says tbe West Coast Trade this week. Even from this source there is practically no demand, and fortunate ly so for there would be no wheat available to supply any but the most limited requirements. Prices under the circumstances are held 4 and tie ibove tha normal export quotation.at $4@B6c for bine stem and 80@82c for club. Receipts are below 10,000 bushels weekly, touching the mi.ii num in the history of the northwest grain trade just as stocks are at the lowest point ever known. Of the coming crop there is a COB inuation of favorable reports. The ains of a week ago were fairly gen ral, and while many sections have ;ot secured, adequate moisture to in sure a full harvest, the position of the •rop as a whole is much better than at any time in the past month, with present estimates remaining higher than those lately put forth. In some ortions of the grain belt heretofore rpprehensive of a material decrease ,he precipitation has bettered the prospect to the extent that an average crop is expected, and favorable weather from now on will probably hring the total output for Washington to the 20,000,000 bushel point. The prospect is also flattering for a high quality of grain, with large berry and freedom from smut. The price prospect continues to improve moderately. The report of the agricultural department issued July 10, indicates a further decline of 3.4 points in the condition of winter wheat, standing at 78.8 as compared with 77 on July 1, a year ago, while spring wheat has dropped 3.4 points lo 82.0. compared with !e_> 4 on j u j y 1 1902, indicating a curtailment of con siderable moment in estimates, even though the crop through increased acreage wil! probably be the limit at from 725,000,000 to 740,000,000 bushels. The amount of wheat in farmers' hands on July 1 is estimated by the government at 42,500,000 busheis. or >nly per cent of the crop, how ever, as compared with 52,440,000 bushels at the same time last year, while the total in the official visible is down to 14,311.000 bushels, as against 19,808,000 bushels at this time last year. We start in with a short age of some 15,000,000 bushels to 175.- --000,000 in the prospective European output with a decreass of 4,200,000 acres in the area planted in corn in his country the outlook is more than reasonably good for high prices and a good demand for all our supplies. TEST LABOR LAW. Bon Marche Charged With Violation of Statute. Seattle. —A complaint charging A. G. Buchanan, of the Hon Marche, with violating tiie state law limiting the hours for the employment of females, was sworn out by William Blackman. the state labor commissioner. Miss M. F. Sweige. employed in the store, was named* as the person who worked fourteen hours out of the twenty-four. It i's said that on the evening of July Manager Buchanan notified the employes that he expected to keep open until lo o'clock in the evening, and that the saleswomen, consequently added the night hours to their regular daywork. In a previous case affecting the same establishment, it is stated, a de cision was rendered against the de fendant, and the matter was taken to the supreme court on tiie plea that the law is unconstitutional. The su preme couri decided tiiat the law is vaiid. The penalty for ihe offense is a fine of not less than nor more tlian $2-"). Th management of the Bon Marche has not mucb to say about the charge beyond claiming that ten hours a day is the limit on time of employment. MOOSE HORNS FOR THE FAIR. Juneau. —The Yukon will be repre sented at the St. Louis exposition by what is believed to be the most per fect set of moose horns in the world. \Y. E. Carlin and William Crum, own ers of the horns, intend sending them to tiie big fair. From tip to tip the horns measure sixty-eight and a half inches, with a convex measurement of eighty-three and a quarter inches. The set. own ed by Charles B. Hazeltine of Maine, which took the first prize in Xew York measured sixtyone inches from tip to ti]i. with a convex measurement of seventy-three inches. Hazeltine who is a noted collector, claimed that his set was the largest known in the world and the most symmetrical. The Hazeltine set lias twenty-nine points, while the horn owned by the Dawson men. has thirty-eight, twenty-one on one horn and seventeen on the other. As will be seen by comparing the fig ures, the Yukon horns are superior to the Hazeltine Bet. Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local application as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear.

Bishop was so full of excitement and he dared, npt trust .his voice to utterance.

"Ob, Alan." she cried, "don't you see "Supper's raid]/, Marse AUin." bow excited your pa is? You ought not to raise his hopes this way on such an uncertainty.

"It ain't possible," they heard him say ing. "I won't git out as easy as that— I jest cayn't!" "Perhaps it would be wrong to ex pect too much," said Alan, "but I was oldiged to tell you what we are going in town for tomorrow." j Bishop wheeled and paused before them. "Ef Wilson puts up the money, I'd have enough to lift tbe mortgage an' a clean $20,000 besides to put in some good investment."
