July 31. —Railroad and business circles are awaiting with keen interest the outcome of the ar guments begun in the United States district court here today in the appli cation for a permanent injunction to restrain the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad from carrying coal or any other traffic at any greater or less rate than its published tariff rates and also torestrain the New Haven road from receiving any rebate or ad vantage threfrom. The case is the first to arise under that section of the anti-rebate law which gives the inter to ask for an injunction to restrain a railroad from charging less than its posted freight rates. The action in the present ease is based on the original complaint of W. C Bullitt a Philadelphia coal dealer, and the testimony given by President Stevens of the Chesapeake and Ohio, shows that a contract was made five years ago by his road to deliver at New Haven 2,000,000 tons of New- River coal at the rate of 400,000 tons a year for $2.75 a ton. When the contract expired in April last, 60.000 tons remained undelivered and a con tract was made for the delivery of that amount at the old arte. fcfter paving for the coal, its trans portation from Newport News to New- Haven by sea and discharging it from the vessel, there remained for the railroad company only 28 cents a ton as freight from the Kanawha dis trict of West Virginia to Newport News whereas the published rate of the Chesapeake and Ohio for that haul is $1.45 a ton. It is thfc.appar ent rebate or discrimination of $1.11 a ton in favor of the New Haven road and against other that torms the basis of the complaint.

Smith Did Net Seem Good, and So She Adopted Gooalow. and Now There Is Trouble. Spokane.—One of the most peculiar cases on record came to light in the sueprior court when a petition was filed by A. A. Timmons for letters of administration in the estate of Miss Cecil Smith, lately deceased. It ap pears that Miss Smith was never married, but she took out two life in surance i>olicies. each for $500 and both in the same company. One of the policies was made in the name of Cecil Smith and the other in the name of Marguerite Goodlow. It appears that Smith did not seem to be a good name for the woman, in her opinion, and instead of taking the usual course—getting married —she changed her name to Goodlow with out any formality whatever. Now the insurance company refuses to pay either policy on the ground that they were not regularly executed and that not sufficient proof of death can be furnished. It is probable that suit will have to be brought to collect both policies. A STORY OF STARVATION. New Bedford. Mass., July 31. —A Lisbon Portugese paper received here dated July 13th, contains a story of starvation in Cape Verde islands.

TOWN OF HOBART HAS BAD TIRE Governor Lawton of Oklahoma Blames Secretary Hitchcock for Lack of Water Works. Anadarko, Okla.. July 31—The main portion of Hobart was wiped out by fire last night.

The fire started in the Phoenix theater and is supposed to have been incen diary. The hriok business houses in two blocks are in ruins. The fire was finally extinguished by using dyna mite. Governor Lawton has decided to file charges with President Roosevelt against Secretary Hitchcock because the funds from the sale of public lands are tied up by the department of the interior.

LOSSES llld OVERESTIMATED Report That Government Had Been Swindled Out of Fifty 'Millions Untrue. Washington, D. C—The interior de partment ridicules a story recently put in circulation throughout the country to the effect that during the past fiscal year Uncle Sam has been defrauded out of $50,000,000 worth of public lands. The story in question went on to say that so flagrant were the frauds, and so widespread the evil practices, that it would be nec essary to make sweeping changes in the local land offices throughout the country in order to insure honest ad ministration, and intimated, or rather stated that several United States senators were implicated in these frauds. The wide circulation given the story warrants a statement of the facts. Talk Is Ridiculous. Acting Secretary Ryan, of the in terior department, disposes of the story in short order. "It is ridicu lous/ said he, "to talk of the govern ment losing fity million of dollars through land frauds last year. No such loss was possible. There has been fraud, and probably much of it.

Lack of Business in Sound Wheat Circles Make It Hard to Base Quotations tor Spot Wheat. There is a continued lack of busi ness upon which to base quotations for spot wheat says the West Coast Trade. The mills have continued to offer premiums about as heretofore and have taken everything offered or in sight, in order to meet so far as possible oriental orders for flour coming to hand. Prices quoted at 84c for blue stem and 80c for club are purely nominal, but are continued in the absence of business in the crop. The flour situation is likely te prove another factor in preventing an early export movement in wheat. De ferred orders for shipment will put the mills in the marker for early sup plies and until the demand from this source is satisfied there will be little loom for buying upon export basis Local exporters are offering upon a basis of Tiie for club and for blue stem at tide water, but little or nothing is doing in the way of eon tracts at this figure. Harvest. though from two to four weeks late, is .gradually becoming more general. The results are meet ing full expectations so far as ad vices go, but it will he impossible be fore the entire crop has ben secured to give any figures on the crop in which the element of guesswork does not play an important part. The general situation has taken on some strength during the week, due principally to disappointing returns from threshing and Snow's estimate that the American winter wheat croj would be little if any in excess of last year. Abroad the situation has shown comparatively favorable foa tures, particularly in France and Eng land, where the weather has afforded promise of a yield in excess of lat, Rolled Oats per lb sc.

Everett. —A record in the marriage and divorce line has undoubtedly been established in Snohomish county, papers in divorce proceedings being filed in just one day over two months after tne marriage vows had been taken. On May 27, this year, Barthold Julius Focks swore to love, cherish and protect Ella Focks, his then wife, while she also promised to be a loving and faithful wife, "until death do us part;" but there seems to have been a complete change of sentiment since that time and, according to the com plaint filed, Mrs. Focks concluded on July 15 that she no longer wished to live with her formerly beloved Bar thold, for she then left him and has si'nee refused to return, notwithstand ing the earnest solicitations of plain tiff in the action. The complaint and answer in the action were filed with the clerk of the court, the complaint stating that there is utter incompatibility of tem perament, and also alleging desertion on July 15. The answer denies that allegation as well as knowledge of ownership of property by plaintiff which is set forth in the complaint, and which he asks be vested in him, there being no community property. After hearing the evidence in the case. Judge Denney granted- the pray er of plaintiff and he now stands di vorced from his erstwhile wife.

Last winter the bankers of the state surreptitiously secured the passage of a law that compels the assessor to accept the bank's statement as to the market value of its stock and to be governed entirely by the bank's books in fixing the valuation of its holdings. This provision was smuggled into a bill that provided ostensibly for as sessing all bank stock at its "full value." The law passed on the 3d of March and carried an emergency clause. In this county the banks suc ceeded in making the county and city assessors believe that the new law applied to this year's assessment of bank stock, but in fact it does not. Another law provides that the assess ment shall be made on values as they existed on March 1. On that date the new law had not gone into effect and therefore bank stock should have been assessed according to its mar ket value under the old revenue law. This would make the assessment practically the same as that made by Assessor Cadman last year. The city council, which met as a board of equalization last week, over looked this point, perhaps intentional ly as that body did not adhere to last year's assessment of bank stock, but compromised at about sixty cents on the dollar. The commissioners meet as a board of equalization next Monday and it will be their duty to restore the val uation of bank stock to what it was last year. Consistency will require this attitude, as the county is now re sisting a suit brought by the First National Hank to enjoin tbe county treasurer from collecting the tax on Its stock levied by Assessor Cadman last year. To allow the reduced as sessment thi year would be to con fess that last year's assessment was too hiirh. The commissioners should bear in mind that the law on the first day of last March was the same as a year before and that there was no re duction in the market value of bank stock during the year. It is said that the county will soon have to begin issuing warrants to pay current, expenses and it therefore be hooves the commissioners to get all the money that is legitimately coming to the county. Standing pat on the assessment of bank stock under the old law will be one long step along that line. COVERING UP POSTAL FRAUDS. A few weeks ago Postmaster Gen eral Payne called the heads of divis ions in his department together and instructed them to give out no fur ther information about the investiga tion of the postal frauds. He wanted it understood that he would look after the newspaper end of the department. Since that time the public has been kept in the dark as to what new dis coveries of crookedness have been J&EAUTIFUL SILVER DEPOSIT BOTTLES. New Line ff^^/j^Q 9 g Cut Glass* Xlartin Jewelry Company. made by Mr. Bristow and the others engaged in ferreting out the grafts and stealings that have been practic ed in the postal department for the last half dozen years. About the only t':ing .:ew is the indictment of Beav eis. former superintendent of the free delivery service, by a federa grand jury for taking forty per cem rake-offs on government contracts. 1 is als.~ stated that Beavers since his indictment has had a secret confer ence with Postmaster General Payne on the government vessel now used by the latter on a pleasure cruise. Although Beavers was indicted about ten days ago he has not yet been plac ed under arrest and it is doubtful whether he will ever be brought to trial, as he knows too much that would involve higher officials of the government. When President Roosevelt returned to the national capital from his west ern trip he declared that the investi gation of the postal frauds would be prosecuted with vigor and that no guilty man would be allowed to es cape. In view of that declaration the suppression of news regarding the investigation by the postmaster gen eral looks very queer, to say the least. Can it be that the strenuous Theo dore fears the effect of the revelations that might be made upon his chances for re-election next year? Mr. Payne made light of Tulloch's charges as "hot air," and protested against them as a reflection upon the administra tion of the late President McKinley. However. Bristow found that Tulloch's charges were true. Now Payne in sists that the investigation shall not go back of the Roosevelt administra tion. This attempted concealment of the bottom facts of the scandal will result in making the public more de termined to have the whole truth. Next year we shall have the old de mand for a look at the books and the old cry of "Turn the rascals out." To forestall such a campaign Presi dent Roosevelt should adhere to his determination to have a complete ex posure of all crookedness in the pos tal department and thus clear himself of all moral responsibility for tho offenses of his subordinates. Other wise he will be tainted wdth the scan dal that now envelops the department from top to bottom and it may prove his political undoing. MAYOR BOYD'S PLAN. Mayor Boyd of Spokane has issued an order to the police department making radical changes in the meth ods of handling the social evil. That city collects all fines assessed agaiT.st immoral women instead of leaving them to be grafted for private benefit, as is done in some cities of the coun try. The salient features of Mayor Boyd's order are as follows: First —That the owners of the build ings rented for immoral purposes shall be forbidden to charge exorbi tant rentals. The details of arranging a rental scale are left to the commis sioners. Second —That all houses of ill fame shall be confined to the "burnt dis trict." Third —That crib womeril of nt ter extinction. Far more consistent, was the action of another recently jilted lover, in this instance a citizen of the state ofNNcrw r York, where human impulse more po tently dictates action along natural lines. He was an elderly Romeo, and when the object of his affections threw him over for a younger man he knelt down and wrestled along and earnestly in prayer for divine quid auce. Then he arose and got a big dub and went and beat his successful rival into a sort of pulp of disfigured sentiment, as it were, after which he returned home in great content and tranquillity of soul. From the purely moral viewpoint the Connecticut man was right and the New Yorker wrong, since one re sorted to the law and the other to an act of personau violence to get even with a triumphant rival. But the world's approval will rest upon the mittened man with the club, not the seeker after an injunction. If a girl can thus be enjoined from wedding the man she loves, what is to save her from being mandamused into mar rying another whom she detests? This is the very keynote of the Con necticut incident. FRANK S. LEWIS. With a record of having won 15 out of 18 matches during the past year. Prof. Frank Lewis, ex-middle weight champion wrestler of the Pacific coast, arrived in Walla Walla this morning to remain. After defeating Mourala, the "Terrible Turk", in this city a year ago Mr. Lewis toured the middle west and Pacific coast, meet- ing all comers. He engaged in 18 matches, winning 15. Professor Lewis announces his willingness to meet any wrestler in the United States with the exception of three professionals. His defi may result in several good matches being pulled off in this city in the near future. DEATH OF MRS. GARVEY. Wife of Well Known Railway Con ductor Passed Away Early This Morning.

Growers Along Walla Walla River Will Harvest Thousands of Dol lars Worth Again This Year. If not literally rolling in wealth fruit growers along the Walla Walla river as far up as the Brinker place are rolling in fruit of all varieties which will tend to make times "flush" along that turbulent stream this fall. In spite of the fact that a record breaking crop of apples and prunes was harvested in that section last year, just as large a crop will be gathered again this year. The apple crop of the river will bring thousands of dollars to the growers this fall. The fruit, unlike that of the lower valley, is almost en tirely clean and will net the top price. The old Brinker place now owned by N. S. Sullivan and Adolph Schafer of this city produced a $1000 crop of ap ples last year and the lessee expects to reap a similar sum from his trees again this year. His prune crop which is unusually large again this year will net several hundred dollars and the same is true of a score of farms which stretch along the river bank for a dozen miles above Milton. The success with which farmers have met in fruit raising has suggest ed to many that more fruit would bring more money and these are set ting about to add new orchards to the old ones. In these will he included the better varieties of apples, prunes, cherries and peaches, while many will plant berry- bushes of all varieties. AFTER IHIRTY YEARS. Emily Newton Granted Divorce From John Newt 0 n by Judge Brents. Judge Brents of the superior court this morning signed a decree of di vorce separating Emily Newton from her husband. John Newton to whom she was wedded for over 3d years. The Newtons were married at Hart ford, Conn., January 3. in 1870 and for 30 years lived happily together as husband and wife. Four years ago a change came over the man who had sworn to protect and provide for the woman of his choice and during that time, according to Mrs. Newton, her husband failed to furnish the neces saries of life and a year ago without cause wilfully deserted her. Mr. Newton is at present residing in Mas sachusetts, in her complaint Mrs. Newton alleges that there are no minor children nor no community property. Marvin Evans was her at torney.

MAY BUILD Proposed to Erect $10,000 Structure on Rose St. DECIDED UPON TOMORROW NIGHT Wi|| Be Two Stories in Heighth and Leased for Strictly Business Purposes. If plans under consideration mater ialize at tomorrow night's meeting Columbia lodge No. 8. K. of P., will erect a handsome two-story brick building on its lot at the corner of Fourth and Rose streets immediately at a cost of $10,000. It is understood that the majority of the members of the lodge are in favor of erecting the structure. The lot owned by the lodge is now occupied by ex- Councilman Martin's blacksmith shop and is considered excellent business property. It has a frontage of 6 feet on Fourth street and a depth of 80 feet on Rose, and is valued at $6500. If the lodge decides to erect the building it will be leased entirely for business purposes and will in no wise be considered as a home for the lodg o which has quarters in the new Odd Fellows' temple in Alder street. It is understood that a firm has offered a yearly rental for the entire building that would net a handsome return on the investment.

If a quietus has been placed on tJn 1 spirit of gambling in Pendleton, it is a cinch that city authorities will be unable to put the betting bee out of business, at any rate says the Pendle ton Tribune. It was possible with this view that yesterday William Roeseh and Joe Basler became quite confidential in placing a wager on a certain sale of city property which occurrred Monday. "I bet you "hundert thaler" dat John Schmidt bought dat. .Main street bisiness yesterady fur Shake Betz, al ready, said the well known brewer. "I take the bet, yet," responded the furniture man in an instant, and the transaction was at once concluded and sworn to by witnesses and is now a matter of record. News of the wager was at once spread about, and many persons of a sporty inclination were soon interest ed in the matter, nearly as much as the two who had a hundred dollars at stake. During the excitement over the bet last evening the Hon. Jacob Betz, the brewer and ex-mayor of Walla Walla, blew into town and was at once bombarded with a shower of questions concerning the transferring of the city property to Mr. Schmi.lt. Mr. Betz, however. looked quite Spinx-like, and professed ignorance of the whole matter. The anxious in quirers were accordingly dismissed, knowing as little as they did before Mr. Betz' arrival. In the meantime Mr. Roesch and Mr. Basler will await the proper information as to who the real purchaser is. Pirn Olas. Manzanilla, Spanish Queen olives, ripe olives at Sims grocery. GREEN'S PARK ADDITION. There is not the slightest doubt in any ones mind but that Walla Walla is growing up hill —that is the history of every city. In choosing a home site, is it not the part of wisdom to choose, where from an investment point of view the prospects for substantial increase in values are greatest. This new addition holds the key note to the situation. The business of Walla Walla is growing directly into It. and some of the finest, resi dences to be built in the city are now in contemplation there. These resi dences will cost from $3000 to $7000 and are the class of buildings that add value to ground. It is good business judgment to se lect a home lot for yourself while it can be bought at a low price on prac tically your own terms of payment. C.

State Representative Henry Adams 1 of Umatilla county arrived ra the city yesterday to spend a few days attend-' i:ig 10 business matters. Harvest in j the Weston and Athena neighborhood which has been Mr. Adams' home fori many years is on in full blast he says and farmers are much encouraged by tbe yield. In the foot hill district the 1 majority of fields are going from #0 j to 45 bushels while some are exceed- Ing thi's by ten bushels. In the level country the yield will j not be quite so large, but the crops being harvested are so much in ex-j cess of what was expected earlier in} the season that farmers are more than satisfied wdth the year's work, j The present price being quoted in 1 Umatilla county exceeds last year's J quotations by 12 cents per bushel and this will more than offset the decrease in yield. Mr. Adams has about recovered from a six months' siege of sickness and is looking the picture of health. He spent several months in the Walla i Walla hospital receiving treatment. I NEW ADMINISTRATION. City Officials Elected at Last Election Assumed Charge of Respective Offices Today. Without any noise or formality newly elected city officials assumed charge of their respective offices promptly at noon today. The most important change occurred in the of fice of chief of police. Alvah Brown succeeding Chief Kauffman. The only changes Chief Brown has seen fit to make i"n his force so far are the appointing of Ben Wolf, as pa trolman, vice John Conlan. resigned, and Emil Sanderson as bicycle police man, vice N. O. Peterson. Both men have had much experience in police duty and are considered capable offi cers. Other officers elect to assume charge today were Assessor Merchant, who succeeds Edward Rourke, Dr. Gammon who succeeds Dr. Alban as city health officer, William Glasford, who takes W. A. Williams' seat as councilman from the First ward, and Eugene H. Boyer, who supersedes John Kirkman as councilman from the Third ward.

Dr. Bingham, proprietor of the fa mous summer resort bearing his name a few miles from Gibbon station, is thinking seriously of constructing a trolley car line from the railroad to the resort, says this morning's Pen dleton Trihune. So states B. H. Mil ler, clerk of the Golden Rule of this city, who returned yesterday from a short vacation to the springs. The mountain road from the depot to the hotel is rough in places and travel over part of it necessarily slow and Dr. Bingham realizes that a more comfortable service from tiie railroad would add greatly to the attractive ness of the trip and a.-' a cousequenee to tie- number that would visit hi's re sort during the season. The work of grading and laying the track which could be done there dur ing the quiet season would not nec essitate any vast outlays and the cost of operating the same would be trif ling as there is ample water power to run the whole tiling, and include an electric light plant which the doctor also has fn contemplation. There is a possibility that this improvement may be completed before the opening of another season. THE SUIT CLUB IDEA. To the Editor: There is no enter prise more legitimate or of more value to the man of small means, than the suit can make small payments, and. could not afford to pay down for a suit can m ake small payments, and are almost certain to secure a premi urn also. The tailor conducting a suit club is certain of the number of suits he is going to make is certain of his money and naturally can make them at smaller profit than if money and quantity are uncertain. The suit club teaches many the value of tailor made clothing who would otherwise not know their value and this is of great future benefit to all tailors by increasing their orders. A reputable tailor permanently located in a city conducts suit clubs the same as any business is conducted. The enterprise is legitimate and is receiving encour agement everywhere. JACOB SCHUBERT..

I NEW RECORD IS MADE Ib the Rapid Construc tion of Buildings IT THE ST- LOUS F.XPOSITIOI £n?st Attention to Be Given to Ath letics at Next Year's Show— Other Attractions. St. Louis, July 31. —A record in the rapid construction of big exposition buildings is lieing made by contrac tors who are putting up the raanmth palace of agriculture at the World's Fair at St. lxuiis. The building when completed will be 546 by 1600 feet, and will cover mor than 21 acres. On July 15, after 19 days of work, 1050 feet of the frame work of the giant structure had been finished and the work was progressing so satisfactorily that it was confidently predicted that the re mainder would be completed in 12 days more. Caldwell Drake are contractors. Though they were awarded the con tract last March much time was spent in baying materials and get ting them on the ground so that they did not begin work until after the dedication on May I. Then a small force began laying the floor. When the real work began Mr. Caldwell, who personally directs the operations, put on 7;io men. who work 10 hours a day. A night shift of 10 men is also employed. Work started on the north end. As soon as the frame work was finished on the north end the staff of workers began their task and they are closely following the builders on the journey southward of 1660 feet. Mr. Caldwell says that by Decem ber 1. when the building is due to be turned over to the exposition officials, the great building will be complete m every detail. Altheugh the agriculture palace i's only one story high, and without gal leries, the proportions are perfect and artistic. The great structure stands on Skinner Hill south of the administration building and over looks the buildings of the main pic ture. Running the 100 feet length of the building is a great central aisle with tin. roof lent feet from the floor. A clear story admits light to the een trai and contiguous aisles. The height of the eaves line is 65 feet. Messrs. Caldwell Drake are also the contractors for the horticulture palace and work is progressing so satisfactorily on that building that its com] ietion by December 1 is assured. For the first time in the history of any exposition, physical culture" or athletics will be recognized officially at the World's Fair at St. Louis in lit"!, with a large appropriation. $75,000 of which is to be awarded in prizes, an excellent program of events is assured. The gymnasium, to be a permanent one. is now being erected, as is also a stadium with with a seating capacity of 35,000. Here will be held during the season all known sports. The feature of the program will be Olympic games. It will be the first time that these games, which are a revival of the fa mous Olympic games of Greece, were ever held on American soil. They will last one week and will consist of running, jumping, hurdling, boxing, wrestling, throwing the discus and hammer, etc. This feature will at tract to St. Louis the athletic follow ers of the entire world and the world's greatest athletes will be here to take part in these contests. Two days during the season will be devoted to the Amateur Athleie union of the United States, to decide the national championship. A cross country championship will be given. Bicycling will have three days. Two days will be given to National Inter scholastic championship in which the preparatory schools and high schools throughout the country will take part, ship of America, which will include plunging, short and long distance racing, diving, and water polo, as well as college aquatic championships, win take place. Lawn tennis will be taken care of ami the tournament will last two weeks. Many crack foreign teams will compete in the latter contests. Mr. J. E. Sullivan, secretary of American Athletic Union, has been appointed chief of physical culture for the Warld's Fair. He has been connected with the American athletics for over 25 years and was for many years an active athlete himself. He is connected with many athletic associations and has been the manager of more athletic meet ings than any other man in America. Mr. Sullivan was America's assistant director of sports for the Paris ex position and director of athletics for the Pan-American exposition of But falo. An automobile service conveying visitors to the World's Fair grounds, wil] add to the transportation facil ities of the exposition at St. Louis, next year. At least 200 machines will carry passengers along the fine resi dence streets and parks of the city and discharge them at points of van tage within the grounds. A company called the World's Fair Automobile company, has been organized for this purpose, with Lilburn G. McNair as president The machines to be used wil] carry from two to forty passen gers each and steam, gasoline and electricity will be the motive power. The large machines will be in the style of tallyhos. These vehicles will collect passengers at hotels, union station and other points in the downtown district. Coupon tickets will be sold entitling the passenger to a ride and admission to the World's Fair grounds. Stations will be pro vided at suitable points within the fair grounds for discharging and col lecting passengers. Automobiletei will also be operated within the grounds over certain routes at a specified rate of speed.

KILLED BY WOMAN L\ A QUARREL Rancher Sanford Shot Mrs. Northrup Who Tried to Save Her Brother. Wilbur. Wash, July 29.—While try ing to save the life of her brother. Len DiUman, Mrs. Catherine North rup was shot and killed by I. L. 'San ford. Sanford had drawn his revolver to shoot Dillman. when Mrs. North rup threw herself between the men. receiving the shot intended for her brother and dying instantly. Teh murderer has surrendered himself to the sheriff and is in jail at Coulee City. The Northrup ranch, the scene of the tragedy, is situated about a mile east of Steamboat rock, in the Grand Coulee, and is owned by the Rev. Northrup of Almira. who had leased it ot his step-wother. Mrs. Northrup for five years. She in turn had sub let for one year to Liberty Sanford. an old settler, whose home place is just south of Lincoln. Dispute Over the Lease. Some dispute had arisen between them as to th e terms of the lease which was rather indefinite and Mrs' North rap wished to regain possession and cancel the lease. A few days ago Sanford left the Northrup place to go to his wheat ranch, and make preparation for harvest. Taking ad vantage of his absence, Mrs. North rup, accompanied by her brother Len DiUman, went to the Northrup ranch and prepared to hold it against San ford. Sanford went to Almira and con sulted with Attorney W. E Southard as to his rights. He was advised on methods of legal opposition to the at tempt to oust him. Disregarding the advice of the lawyer, he went to the hardware store, purohased a revolver and ammunition, and returned to hi« home. Mrs. Northrup was at tho house trying to hold possession, when San ford entered from the front and pass ed through several rooms, stopping to wash his hands. Mrs. Northrup was standing in the kitchen with her brother. Fires Fatal Shot. Hot words passed between Sanford and the man and woman. Sanford pulled the gun and attempted to shoot Dillman. when Mrs. Northrup threw herself between them, facing her brother, and received the shot in tended for the latter. The bullet entered behind her left ear and passed out the right temple She fell forward on the porch and death followed instantly. Surrenders to Sheriff. Sanford at once drove into Coulee City and surrendered himself to the authorities. He is a man of about 67, ■orne the name of being peaceable. Dillman's name will be remembered a connection with that of his brother am DiUman, who was tried about ight years ago for shooting Win. lubblefield of this place over a dis ute relating 'o cattle. Len DiUman as always borne a good name, how ver. Mis. Northrup was a woman of ver 60 of age. rHEOUV CONFIRMED The Government Is Now Positive That the Insect Spreads Yellow Fever. Washington. D. C—The United States marine hospital service has ful dy accepted the mosquito theory of the transmission of yellow fever and nalaria. Up to 1900 the government surgeons, as well as others, looked ipon yellow fever as a germ disease, md all directed towards the killing of supposed germs. Since that time, mwever, repeated investigations and )rolonged microscopic studies have onvinced the marine hospital sar leons that the mosquito of the jmyia faseiata" variety, is the distri niting agent of this dread disease on he southern coast of the United States. Study of Yellow Fever. Throughout the past summer a par y of marine hospital surgeons con ducted a general study of yellow fever it Vera Cruz, one of the great fever centers. They report that the fever arrying mosquito is not a native oi \merica. but is frequently imported with ship cargoes from Mexico and Central America, and if he finds con litions suitable, makes his home all he way from Miami, Fla.. to Galv-.- --;on. Tex. There were no breeding places for these dangerous mosqui toes in this country until the begin ning of settlement along the southern coast. An interesting discovery made on the recent expedition., was that a mos quito, after biting a person afflicted with yellow fever, cannot cany the disease to another immediate ly. About 20 days must elapse before his bite becomes dangerous. During this peri od the infection which has been ab sorbed undergoes a material change in the mosquito, and at the comple of this function, his bite is to be feared. Hunger for Information. But the marine hospital surgeons are not satisfied with their study of yellow fever; they have not conclud ed their research. They are deter mined to know more about the dread disease. Having more fully e«tab lished the fact that the disease is spread only in one way, the surgeons will hereafter turn theiT attention to the study of fever eases, with a view to ascertaining something definite as to the organism that is the infecing agent. Some light on this subject has been gleaned, but not sufficient to justify the promulgation of a substan tial theory. Last summer's party fre quently fed mosquitoes on well marked cases, and at various periods the in sects were killed, and examined under the microscope, but the results were not satisfactory, and the study will he continued. Sanitary Conditions. In connection with the report of their examinations, the surgeons brief ly describe sanitary conditions in Vera Cruz, where thousands of deaths have occurred from yellow fever in times past. The sewerage system is primi tive, each house having a cesspool, while all waste water from the patios, or native houses, is run into an open gutter in the center of the street, and slowly towards the gulf. The water supply is keeping with the sewerage system. .Many of the older houses still retain cisterns, have barrels in which rain water is stored, for domestic use. The mosquito, ana tive of Vera Cruz, finds natural breed ing places in such containers. In the past two years, however, the sanitary condition of Vera Cruz, the improvements having been in spired by the work of the Americans in the various cities of Cuba and Porto Rico. In another year it is expected this work of sanitation will be com pleted, and, with its completion, the spread of yellow fever is expected to be diminished. BRITT AND O'KEEFE. San Francisco. Cal..

In their first en counter, which took place at Port land, O'eefe won on a foul in the sixth round. Their second meeting was at Butte and resulted in a draw after twenty rounds of hard fighting. Although Britt rules a slight favorite in tonight's so there are many close followers of the game who express the opinion that the Chieagoan has an equal chance to win the decision and the long end of the purse.

Vancouver, B. C. —The counsel for the crown in the Crow's Bar murder case seems to have to deal with cir cumstances the like of which have never com*' up in any part of the empire, save perhaps in Hong Kong. In China it used to be not unusual for a poor man to be beheaded in place of a criminal who could afford to hire another to go to execution for him: the rich criminal guaranteeing to pro vide more luxuriantly for the poor man's family than the latter could ever hope to do. Secure in the belief that his near ones would be well pro vided for many a Chinaman has sold himself to death. But never before has a case occurred in the Pacific province. It looks, however, as if some such bargain was made in the case of the Crow's Bar crime. If so it doomed to failure. The man who is prepared to suffer the last penalty will be unable to deliver the goods, for those with whom he is suspected of having made the hireous compact are also under lock and key charged with the murder. Whether the crown has taken this view of the case is not yet certain, but, in view of the well known Chinese practice, it is consid ered well that this phase of the sub ject should be inquired into. Briefly stated, the story of the crime is as follows: Ah Chee. Sack Chum, Aii Cum and Gum Tai. occu pied a cabin at Crow's Bar, on the Fraser river. They were employed washing gc:d. Ah Chee got ready early in .Tore ,o leave for his native land. Tt was supposed that he had done well and had considerable gold. On the night of June 4 he was mur dered and his body was thrown into the Fraser; at least so the other three say. The remains have not been re covered yet, so that part ofthe story lias not been verified. Ah Gum and Gum Tai accuse the other man of do ing the foul deed, and he calmly owns up to It. The story of the two ac cusers is that they were awakened in he night bya noise, and. though there was no light in the room, they dis covered Sack Chum dragging the vic tim outside by the feet. They went nitside the cabin and one of them heard the splash of the body as it was thrown in the Fraser. They af terwards visited Thomas Derby's house about five miles away, wMIe Sack Chum remained at the shack. They told their story to Derby's Chi nese cook, who communicated with the police at Clinton. Constable Mc- Millan was sent to investigate. He found that the accused Chinaman was a very small man, while the murdered Ceslestial is known to have weighed over 200 pounds. McMillan thought it would have been physically impos sible for the little fellow to have dragged the victim the distance tfce others say he did. and his suspicions were aroused. He therefore arrested the three and they were taker, to Ashcroft jail. Traces of blood wort found in the cabin, but there was nothing to show that a body had been dragged through it or alone: the ground. Blood marks were found on the bed in which the victim had slept, and a sledge hammer, with blood stains, was also located in the shack. The preliminary trial at Ashcroft has just been concluded. Ah Gum Gum Tar retained the two leading lawyers of the Ashcroft districe to de fend them, and the lawyers put up strong fight. But Magistrate Webb thought their story required more in quiry into, so that all three were sen: tip for trial at the next assizes on the capital charge.Ah Gum and Gum Tai sharing equally with Sack Chum the charge of being murderers. As yet there is no evidence in the case outside of the three Chinamen They tell weird tales. Sack Chum claims that he committed the art. But the crown lawyer pointed to th" decrepit old man and asked if it was possible that he could drag 200 pounds to the river. It was impossi ble to believe the story. Mr. Pulton argued and the bench seems to have agreed with him in the opii of the crown prosecutor the bodj the murdered man was carried to the river, and he suggests that Ah Gum and Gum Tai helped Sack Chum to t'.irow the corpse into the swiftly rush ing stream.
