LEWIS THE VICTOR Had Easy Time in Wrestling Bout Last Night. EIGHTEEN MINUTES TO 60 ON In the Preliminary Tommy Mason and "Kid" Parker Sparred Six Fast Rounds. Reeking with perspiration and grunting from their exertions tl) j principals in last night's wrestling match at Armory hall rolled and tumbled about the padded mat for a decision. Lewis showed up in cham pionship form and easily defended his reputation as a great wrestler by defeating three men from the Walla Walla Athletic club, matched by Wil liam Verdenius. Lewis' contract called for the defeat of the men in 60 minutes of actual wrestling time, but the last of the three was declared down when but 42 minutes of the time had elapsed. W. J. Williams, a muscular amateur, was the first to go against Lewis and his superb defensive work and strength took him out of several tight places before Lewis finally secured a double Nelson for a fall after 14 min utes and 50 seconds of wrestling. A. R. Riggins from Seattle, a lanky, six-footer lasted but 6 minutes and 3S seconds, taking to the mat like a duck takes to water on a Nelson and crotch hold. Professor Burns who made such a good showing against Prof. Downs last year was the last man to go against the "big un" but was compelled to quit after 20 min utes, owing to an accident to his knee cap, resulting from a flying fall, his knee striking the bare floor. Af ter the bout, Lewis issued an open challenge to wresi'le any three men in the state. As a preliminary Thomas Mason and "Kid" Parker sparred six fast rounds for points. Parker weighed at least 10 pounds heavier than his opponent but. seemed unable to ef fectively defend himself from light ning-like work of Mason, who sur prised even his warmest friends with his cleverness. While the bout was entirely friendly some heavy blows w<-re landed' in the six rounds. Both men were cheered as they left the ring. A crowd of about three hundred witnessed the boxing contest and the wrestling match. LIVED OVER A CENTURY Joseph Hush One Hundred and Ten Years Old. Suoth Bend, Ind., Aug. 13. —The rec cord of being the oldest person liv ing in St.. Joseph county is no longer held by Robert G. Cissne, of German township. He is beaten by one who was about 18 year old when Mr. Cissne was born. Joseph claims the record and it will be difficult to dis prove his claim. Mr. Hush will be 110 year of age on Sept. 15. if he lives. The provis ion seems quite unnecessary for about a month ago he walked to New Carlisle, 18 miles from the county farm, where he lives. Mr. Hush was born in New Jersey. Sept. 15, 1793. Half a century ago he moved to Tel le Coupee, this county, and in May. 189. he went to the county farm to spend the rest of his days. This venerable man retains much of the vigor of earlier years, as his walk to New Carlisle proves.. In fact, many will claim that it shows quite conclusively that Mr. Hush is mis taken in his rates and not so old as ho says, but it is doubtful if his claim can be disproved. He appears in good health for one of his years. Some timje ago he suffered an attack of the grip which left him with a cough and this gives him some trou ble. NOT NECSSARILY.

Washington—Postmaster Genera] Payne has decided to make the experiment of employing baggagemen on trains which are not provided with mail clerks to take charge of and de liver open newspaper mail. This plan "has been decided upon after much consideration and in response to a petition filed by many of the lead ing newspaper publishers of the coun try, who asked the postoffice depart ment to provide facilities for distrib uting open bundles of papers along the lines from trains which carry only closed pouches. There are large number of such trains and as the department is not represented by an employe on them the postmaster general declined to assume responsibility for papers not inclosed in pouches. Second Asist ant Postmaster General Shallenber ger then suggested the expedient of employing baggagemen to take charge of the mail in such cases and the suggestion was adopted. The plan contemplates that the baggagemen shall be sworn in as postoffice department employes and that they shall be paid for their ser vices. It is intended that they shall deliver the papers to those to whom they are addressed at points along the lino from the car doors ,thus sav ing much time wmi'eh would be lost in case the papers were inclosed in the pouches, as this would necessi tate their being taken to the local postoffice before they could be deliv ered to agents. "Yes." said the bank official, "we need a runner for the bank. Have you had any experience?" "Well, sir," replied the applicant. "I've lived at Lonesomehurst for years, and I've caught the 7:39 train to the city reg ularly each day." WALLA WALLA MARKETS REVISED DAILY. Retail Prices.

LUOIS VANDEZ IS A WITNESS Bringing French Woman to Seattle For Immoral Purposes the Charge. In the United States district court yesterday Alexander Fanchaut, a native of Fiance, sought to clear him self of the charge of bringing Blanche Maclez. a woman of his own na tionality, into this country for immor al purposes says the Post Intelligencer The government is prosecuting Fan chaut, with Miss Maclez, who is 19 years of age, as his accuser. The girl, however, did not prove as strong a witness as the government had expected, though damaging tes timony was given by Louise Valdez of Walla Walla. The case was taken before a jury in the morning and oc cupied the attention of the court throughout the day. The complaining witness related that she had been taken in charge in Paris by the de fendant, had gone to New York with him. and on to Walla Walla. The girl was employed as a glass cutter in a French factory when she met Fanchaut at the home of her sister, who, she testified, had advised her to marry the man, and that the defendant had promised to make her his wife upon their arrival in the United States. He objected to their marriage in France, she said, and when they reached Walla Walla the man she had supposed would wed her insisted, she testified, that she earn money, intimating that, it could be earned easier by leading the life of a fallen woman. It was about this time that the United States authorities came upon the scene and made Fanchaut a pris oner. Miss Valdez testified that Fanchaut had approached her with a view to placing Blanche in a Walla Walla house. There was. in the opinion of the witness, no chance for a mistake as to his desire to have the girl earn him a living by her wrong doing. Fanchaut entered a general denial. He stated that he had been told in Paris that Blanche was a good girl; ihat he ma ie wardrobe purchases for her. paid her fare from the French capital to Walla Walla valley, all for the purpose of marriage after reach ing their destination.

THE EVENING STATESMAN, THURSDAY, AUGUST 13, 1903. THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST widow at mm of ntimi TRHIJEDV Brown Who Shot Turnbcw Had En tanglement With a Fair Charmer. Colfax. —It is now believed that the shooting of Thomas Turnbow, at Gar field Sunday morning, by J. E. Brown, was caused by a woman. Brown is said to have been enamored of a young widow living in Garfield, and his attentions to her had become common talk. Some time ago a crowd of boys and young men sur rounded the house of this young wid ow wlitn Brown was alleged to be in the house and gave them an old fash ioned charivari. This caused a sensa tion in the quiet, prohibition town of Garfield, where nothing more excit ing than a crckinole social is allowed by the town authorities. Brown blamed Turnbow with having been one of the instigators of the plot to humiliate him, and bad blood has ex isted between them since that event. Women Quarrel on the Street. Saturday, the day before the shoot ing, Mrs. Brown, who is much older than her husband, and is said to be extremely jealous of him, met the widow in question on the streets of Garfield and gave her "a piece of her mind." Their interview was quite stormy and sensational. Mrs. Brown afterward said, so it is alleged. "They have been meeting every day, and if I had a gun I would kill theni both." This is taken to have meant Mr. Brown and the widow. It is said that Mr. and Mts. Brown passed a stormy night Saturday night, and the fact that Brown was on the street, armed with a revolver, before 7 o'clock Sunday morning, and' shot Turnbow without any .word's or quarrel, is charged by the state as evidence that he had risen and armed himself with the intention of wreaking ven geance on those whom he held re sponsible for his exposure and hu miliation. Recalls Hill Lynching Nothing in the history of Garfield, since the killing of Somers in the fall of 1892, has created such a sensation and horror as the shoot ing of Sunday morning. Somers was killed by Ed Hill, and Hill was taken from the county jail at Colfax and hanged from the counrthouse window. That the people of Garfield and vi cinity are capable of becoming thor oughly aroused was demonstrated by this incident and the fact that when Frank Madden, a young m|an of Gar field, while drunk, almost killed a re spectable citizen by hitting him with a beer bottle, they tried to take Mad dent from the sheriff and hang him in daylight, and only by standing at the head of the stairway with drawn revolvers were the officers enabled to stand off the mob. Feeling against Brown was intense in Garfield and vicinity and had Turn bow been killed instantly there is lit tle doubt that an effort would have been made to lynch Brown.

Tacoma, —Judge Chapman has set tled the legal strife between Mrs. An nie L. Folffer and Edward I. Place, who have been fighting over the cus tody of their minor child. Enid Place, by giving the father jurisdiction. The case is one of wide notoriety on ac count of the domestic infelicities be tween Place and Mrs. Folger .which lasted during a period of many years. While an Oakland schoolgirl Mrs. Folger l arrled a youth about her own age. Unable to support his child wife, the bey came to live with her and her mother, but at the end of about, a year deserted her, going to New York. I-ater she met Place. Believing her former husband to be dead and that she was released, she yielded to the attentions of Mr. Place and the two were married. Accord ing to her story her troubles began immediately after. She avers that Place wandered from town to town in California and Utah, without any settled home, and frequently ill-treat ed her. Finally he told her that the ceremony binding them together was bogus, so she says, and at her earn est persuasion another marriage con tract was entered into in the state of Utah. About this time she says she was told by her husband that her former husband, who had deserted her. was I alive, and this she found to be true. Then she obtained a divorce from her former husband, in order to untangle the twisted current of her domestic matters. Later, she claims that Place's conduct became intolerable and she went to California and there obtained a divorce. But little, it ap pears, was said about the custody of the child, and Place obtained and kept i>ossession of it. Subsequently this greatly woried her, and she came back to Washington from the asylum of her mother's home in California, and- at Everett about January 1. 1901, the two healed over their old differ ences by marrying again. Discord, however, immediately showed, and after the lapse of a few months the two were again divorced. Mrs. Folger then tried to get pos session of the child, but was prevent ed' by her husband. Then Mrs. Place met with Folger, a wealthy man, and the two were married. She immedi ately began litigation for the care of the child, making a peitiom in the courts here in which she attempted to set forth Place's incapacity to properly bring up the child. The tri al was a long one, and when all the testimony was given and arguments completed Judge Chapman gave his decision. The court holds that the father is the proper person to have custody of the child, according to common law; that if he should take the child out of Place's possession and give it to its mother it would be virtually tak ing it from the custody of its own father and placing it under the charge of a step-father, an adds that if the position of the parents were reversed the court would certainly not be in clined to take the child from the pos session of its mother and place it un der the care of the father. The court also holds that there is no evidence that Place has neglected the child or failed in his duty as a father, but, on the contrary, that the child has been well treated, and at all times has been and is now provided with a good home. Mr. Place is well known in in surance circles all over the state, as well as through Oregon. California. Utah and Arizona. For a year or more past he has made his head quarters at Seattle. UPHOLDS INDIAN AGENT Spokane.—ln the injunction suit of M. F. Gibson vs. Indian Agfint Ander son, Judge Hanford, of the United States circuit court, has handed down a decision upholding Agent An derson in expelling Gibson from Spo kane Indian reservation, where the latter had located mining claims. Gibson contended that under the gen eral law he could locate claims pre vious to the president's proclama mation withdrawing the lands and holding them in spite of that order. The ruling involves much valuable mining property, claims to which are now declared worthless. It is remarkable that the hero of a recent novel dies in the middle of the book. But it is an indication that authors are becoming more consider ate of the feelings of their readers in ending the agony in the game. Self-Depreciation. "What I'd like." said Willie Wash ington, "is a good, sensible girl." ']Why don't you propose to one?" "What i's the use? If she were sen sible she'd say no!" SEATTLE DETECTIVES GO m HEATS Chief Sullivan Taking Vigorous Meas ures To F,id Seattle of the Criminal Class. Seattle.—Detectives Jack Barck and Acting Detective Charles Phillips were ordered to take patrolmen's beats in uniform Mo ad ay morning. Chief of Police Sullivan issued the or der, he states, for the good of the ser vice. Barck was order to report to Cap tain Ward, and Phillips to report to Captain Laubscher. Neither roan had worn a uniform for several years. "I made the change for the good of the service." said Chief of Police Sul livan. This is the only comment he would make on the order, which was given out as soon as the chief came down town. Phillips has been a candidate for chief of police in event of any possi ble vacancy. He has not been in touch with the present chief for some time, and he has not hesitated to ex press his disbelief in methods now used, aud motives behind them. The round-up of suspicious charac ters has been made, for the mos' part by policemen serving in plain clothes. These have sent in about seventy men during the past forty eight hours. There are now eighty men in all behind the bars of the city prison. Nearly every' one of the new prisoners was arrested as a suspic ious character, and fn most cases no visible means of support were known. Several of these prisoners are known as ex-convicts. Others are re puted thieves. Still others spend their time in saloons or with women below the line. Just now at least three "mobs' of crooks appear to be at work in Seat tle. One has been blowing safes and is thought to he headed by some well known convict. Another includes the two gentle-mannered highwaymen who robbed the Little pharmacy in North Seattle Saturday night, and held up a pedestrian the night before near tho Denny school. The third has been busy at small burglaries and rough highway robberies. The latter seems to be pretty well broken up by recent arrests. It included the men who lived at Auburn and robl>ed in Seattle and Tacoma. In order to thoroughly check the operations of those thieves who seem to be broken up, and in the hope of getting new men, the department is now being handled on new lines, much more rigorous than those here tofore used. Every outgoing subur ban car is now guarded by an officer from 11:30 o'clock on. Plain clothes men are also posted each evening in the outer residence districts. BR EC KEN RIDGE RETURNS Lexington, Ky., Aug. 13. —At a re ception given here by Milton Young to Governor Beckham, an old fash ioned democratic ]ove feast was held, although the host himself is one of the staunchest. republicans in Fayette county. Prominent democratic poli ticians from all over the state were in attendance, among them being Judge S. W. Hager, democratic nom inee for state auditor; W. P. Thorne, democratic nominee for lieutenant governor, and Colonel W. C. P. Breckenridge, who has been out of the democratic ranks since 1896. At the gathering Colonel Brecken ridge made a speech in which he an nounced that he was once more with the democratic party and asked his friends in the party to let bygones be bygones. It is believed by the close friends of Colonel Breckenridge that he will be candidate for congress at the next election to represent this, the seventh district, which he so ably represented for twenty years before he left the party and had iiis name placed under the log cabin. Friends of Colonel Breckenridge started to launch a boom for him then and there, but. W. P. Kimball, who was called on for a speech said he was a candidate for the same place. Most men wouldn't be able to tell by reading their tombstones who are occupying the graves. Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local application as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear.

That is only a taste of what Hill would have to face if his railroad lines were assessed in accordance with their canting value and the mar ket value of their stock. It is to prevent any such readjustment of valuations that Hill is seeking to placate the farmers of Washington by granting them slight reductions Lrx freight rates. So long as the far mer is willing to serve as the beast of burden to carry the greater part of the load of taxation, the railroad magnates can afford to give him a little sop once in a while in the shape of a nominal reduction in his freight bills. As Governor Mcßride has pointed out, the railroads in this state pay only about one-tenth of the taxes that they should pay, and in or der to avoid paying the other nine tenths they are ready to spend thou sands of dollars in electing their tools to the legislature. For the purpose of hypnotizing the farmers with smooth words and plau sible arguments Hill will hold another conference with them in Whitman county within a few weeks. He will quote figures and statistics by the yard to prove that his railroad is a great philanthropic enterprise op erated solely for the public good and the average farmer will he complete ly overwhelmed by the apparent truth and force of Hill's statements. A few speeches eulogistic of Hill will be made by certain granger politicians in the service of the corporations and the impression wil] be given out that a great, harmony meeting has been held. If this state had a railroad commis sion every farmer would be armed with facts and figures from the re cords to combat the arguments of Hill and his confreres and there would he something doing if such a con ference were held. DOES THE PUBLIC CARE? The editor of the Seattle Post-Intel ligencer expresses some doubt as to whether the average citizen of the average American city honestly de sires honest, clean and businesslike municipal government. It must be confessed that in most American cities, not excepting Walla Walla, there exists an apparent indifference to the manner in which the public business is conducted. The reason Sterling Silver Bracelets, Belt Pins and Hat Pins. Martin Jewelry Company. Eyes Tested Free at Martin's Optical Parlors. probably is that "everybody's busi ness is nobody's business." It takes a great deal of discussion and agita tion to arouse the people to a reliza.- tion of the fact that public business is being mismanaged and the public funds misappropriated, but when the people once become convinced that their interests are being neglected or sacrificed, they do not hesitate to strike and to strike hard. However, the blow is often misdirected and strikes the wrong man. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer says: "Of course, every non-criminal citizen of every city greatly desires the highest possible standard of pro tection to life, person and property. Any police official who should prove himself notably inefficient in prevent ing murders, assaults and robberies at least in the respectable districts of a city—would bring upon himself a storm of public indignation that would endanger the political future of any higher official who retained him in office. "Any similar inefficiency in the heads of the fire department or any corruption that lessened its ability to save property would provoke a simi lar public clamor for the removal of those responsible for such conditions. "Any actual, technical embezzle ment of the public funds or any de gree of corruption among municipal officials which should greatly raise the tax-rate has also always been fol lowed by an outburst of the people's wrath, very real and very destructive. "All this is merely the working of {he universal instinct for the preser vation of self and property. "But when we come to the things that do not so directly affect the skin and pocketbook of the citizen do we find the same keenness of feeling as to faults of government and foibles— or worse —of officials? Even in these former cases, is there not a strict limitation? Does the news of brutal, repeated and undetected murders, as saults and robberies among the sub merged tenth of the slums arouse a civic indignation that need cause any alarm to officials? "But if it becomes known that some member of a city government who i's popular, genial, open-handed, a good fellow, has received a large block of stock or a valuable option or a posi tion in a company or any like consid eration, for putting through some city prifilege or franchise, or stopping some proper investigation for any like consideration on the side, what are the average citizen's feelings about it? Of course, he thinks it is wrong, but how much does he feel about it? How deeply is he mortified in his spirit of civic pride? How strong and sincere is his determination to se cure the punishment or the retire ment from public life of the grafting good fellow? "Suppose he learns that by some juggling of contracts, some ingenious framing of the specifications the city m which he resides is paying for certain supplies 10 per cent, more than the. market price, how closely would his feelings approach, not only in degree, but in kind, to those that would be his on learning that his cook has made a like boodling arrange ment with his butcher? "If he finds his city's pay-rolls pad ded with men who are doing ten cents* worth of work for every dollai they receive, does the discovery affec, him at all as would the ascertaining that the manager 0 f his business had in his absence, established a force o' clerks on a similar basis? Or doe* he shrug his shoulders and say, 'Ob well, some poor chap needed the sal ary and the city's rich enough to pa\ it.' When asked for a statement at th Walla Walla, Wash.'

In MAYOR mm DIMS mmm story Sam Piles Comes Back From Visit to Leigh Hunt Who Has Great Plans. Seattle. —A dispatch of a recent date from Se.altle published in the Portland Oreigonian stated that May or Humes is a candidate for the posi tion of imstmaster in Seattle, but the mayor says he had not heard such an idea advanced! before. The statement was made tlvait the mayor s friends were making a quiet canvass in his behalf. When his attetion was called to the published article Mayor Humes said: The suggestion that I am candidate for the positi'ora of postmaster is en tirely a new one to me. I had heard nothing of it before and I did not see the article in the Portland paper. I would not care to say anything fur ther about it than that the idea is en tirely novel. My name has been ad vanced for a good many offices in the past, but never as far as I remember has it been connected with that of postmaster. Ln case my friends are working it up I think I should know of it, Samuel H. of this city has re turned from New York, where he went in the interest of the Pacific 1^ !S° k P3rt C COntCSt for inter "ational honors a nd the Davis Chalicige Cup whi:h ocgan on the grounds of the LongwoodCricket Club, Boston, Mass., Saturday. Coast company on legal business. He met J. S. Hunt in New York and In the course of the conversation be tween them, the latter related some what of his plans. "Mr. Hunt's health i's considerably improved." said Mr. Piles to a report er, "but he still suffers somewhat from rheumatism. At the time I saw him in New York he was on the eve of leaving for Europe for the pur pose of prosecuting his most recent financial undertaking*, which is a large land colonization scheme in the Soudan country. The company which he has formed for the pur pose has interested in it as stock holders some of the ablest financiers in Europe and holds a charter from the British government. A railroad is being constructed to develop the country, colonize it anl make a great cotton-producing region. Mr. Hunt spoke very' enthusiastically of his venture, and I do not see how he can fail to make a large amount of money out of it. 'Mr. Hunt spoke briefly of his in terests in Korea, saying that the breaking out of the threatened war in that country might cause his mines to be closed down for a long time. "In New York I met Andrew F. Burleigh, formerly of Seattle, who is now prospering in the practice of law; ex-Senator Squire.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 13, 1903. Alaska-Siberia railroad scheme." August A. Berglin, a blacksliding member of the Salvation army, hang ed himself in his room at the Hotei Shannon, corner of Fifth avenue soutn and Main street, Monday morn ing. He had been brooding over re ligious problems for several weeks ajid was also despondent for lack of funds. A week a :3 he telegraphed to rela tives in Colorado for money, and the man who found' the corpse was an employe cf t l c hotel, who went to the room with a registered letter con taining the n. >ney. The letter had com too late. When his roommate left at o'clock Berglin was in bed. At 10 o'clock, when the man with the registered letter opened the door of the room, the lifeless body hung from the gas fixtures in the middle of the room, with waxen face turned toward the ceiling. Berglin had made careful prepara tions for the hanging by winding sev eral yards of small rope around the top of the fixture and tying a double noose about his neck. He extempo rized a scaffold by placing a chair on the foot rail of the bed, ascending it by another chair and leaped off into eternity. Berglfn's brother, Victor, lives in Olney, Colo., and, from letters found in the dead 1 man's room, seems to be a man of some property and consider able education. Berglin was a labor er, but had been out of work. GEN. WOOD'S CAREER Started Five 1 ears Ago As Army Surgeon. t'OLO.VEL OF THE R6IGII RIDERS Many Believe That His Rapid Ad vancement Is Due to Favorit ism—Roosevelt's Friend. .Major General Leonard Wood is two years the junior of President Roosevelt and was born in 1860. He will be 43 years old in October, in which month the presidentwas born.

Attached to the letter, which was written on a typewriter, and evi dently purposely mis-spelled to con ceal the writer's identity, was the signature "Poison," with skull and from a druggis.'s label. Cowen is further advised that if tak en back to Missouri his fate will be 'poison." He admits of being with a circus in 187S in Missouri, boing from there to Texas and coming to Wash ington in 1881. But he objects to be ing ordered out of Everett for a crime or crimes he did not commit, and is ready, he says, to furnish a record of his doings covering the period men tioned. Cowens friends think he has been made the victim of practical joke, but he refuses to take this view of the matter.

Ixmdon, Aug 12.—The Daily Mail, whose policy would thereby be suited, gives prominence to rumors that the dissolution of parliament is doswlr impending. It says that Sir William Harcourt is credited with stating that the dissolution will take place in Sep tember. The paper adds that if Colon;*' Secretary Chamberlain fails to rt» cile the duke of Devonshire to I>olicy within a short time. Prime* ister Balfour will submit the resigna tion of the ministry to the king. His majesty will then, to the Mail, summon the duke of Dev onshire to form a new cabinet as the alternative to dissolution, but there is great doubt whether the duke would accept the task. It would be necessary in case of his refusal to either call a liberal administration or appeal to the country. Bulls and Bears.

"Oh, I'm so glad to get home." said Adele. laying her band on Miller's ex tended arm. Then she released it to give Alan her trunk checks. -(Jet them, brother." she said. "Mr. Miller will take care of me. I suppose you are not going to drive home tonight." "Not if you are tired," said Miller in a tone Alan had never heard his friend Mse to any woman, nor bad he ever seen such an expression on Miller's face as lay there while the lawyer's eyes were feasting themselves on the girl's beauty. Alan hurried away after the trunks and a porter.* He was almost blind with a rage that was new to bim. Was Miller deliberately beginning a flirta tion with Adele at a moment's notice? And had she been so spoiled by the "fast set" of Atlanta during her stay there that she would allow it—even if Miller was a friend of the family? He found a negro porter near the heap of luggage that had been hurled from the baggage cur and ordered his sister's trunks taken to the hotel. Then he fol lowed the couple moodily up to the ho tel parlor. He was destined to undergo another shock, for on entering that room he surprised Miller and Adele-mi a sofa behind the big square piano with their heads suspiciously near to gether, and so deeply were they en gaged in conversation that although he drew up a chair near them, they paid ho heed to him further than to recog nize bis appearance with a lifting of their eyes. They were talking of social affairs in Atlanta and people whose names were unfamiliar to Alan. He rose and stood before the fireplace, but they did not notice his change of position. Truly it Was maddening. He told himself that Adele's pretty face and far too easy manner had attracted Miller's attention temporarily, and the fellow was daring to enter one of his flirtations right be fore his eyes. Alan would give him a piece of his mind at the first opportuni ty, even if he was under obligations to him. Indeed, Miller had greatly disap pointed him. and so had Adele. He had always thought she, like Dolly Barclay, was different from other girls; but no, she was like them all. Miller's atten tion had simply turned her head. Well, as soon as he had a chance he would tell her a few things about Miller and his views of women. That would put her on her guard, but it would not draw out th.' poisoned sting left by Miller's presumption or indelicacy or whatever it was. Alan rose and stood at tbe fire unnoticed for several min utes, and then he showed that he was ;t least a good chaperon, for he reached out and drew the old fashioned bell pull in tbe chimney corner. Tbe porter appeared, and Alan asked, "Is my sis ter's room ready?" n "Yes it's good and warm now, sub, said the negro. "I started Hie fire an (To Be Continued.) Uncle Hi—Ain't you enjoy in' yer self.

MYSTERIOUS MAN Chief Brown Seeks Know ledge of Menzer Moore. SUPPOSED TO BE IN SORE DISTRESS Telegram From New York to Chief Says: "Tell Him To Wait For Aid." Who Is He? If Menser Moore, of Tuseorora. New York. Ls in Walla Walla, and in need of aid he will do well to com municate with Chief of Police Brown. Yesterday, the chief received a mys terious telegram from. J. W. Butzer, station agent at Tuscarora, which reads: "Find Menzer Moore. Wire address Tell him to wait for aid 1 and signed J. W. Butzer, agent. If there is such a man as Menzer Moore in Walla Walla and he is in sore distress Chief Brown has as yet been unable to locate him. The chief yesterday visited every hospital, lodging house and hotel in the city in quest of tbe man but without success. Today a number of private board inng houses were visited, with the same results. If no trace of the man is found by this evening the chief will wire the agent asking for further infor mation on which to base a search. "If there is such a man in Walla Walla and lie needs aid I want to find him." said the chief this morn ing, "but Dt is like hunting for a needle in a haystack." FARMERS INQUIRED ABOUT WHEAT Prices Not Quite Right and Little Do ing In the Local Market Today. Many farmers took advantage of being in town today to attend tbe circus to visii, local grain dealers and inquire the price of wheat. This was about the extent of anything doing in the local marker, however. Blue stem was quoted at 71 cents and club at 67, little change from quotations of a week ago. These prices do not appeal to farmers as yet and consequently little of the cereal has changed hands. The Commercial Review this week again says that farmers' views as to values are still high and decidedly opposite of the real situation. This paper which is a recognized wheat authority says this week: Harvest t>perations in the various localities are in full blast and farmers busy with threshing. Returns of field work generally show a decrease in yields varying from 5 to 20 per cent below former years' results. Reports from the Willamette Valley speak highly of the size and appearance of the berry, which is large and plump and perhaps will grade higher than The average quality of Valley wheat. Samples from east of the mountains show great irregularity, a few being of good average quality.

JOHNSON STATIONERY COMPANY. Die Bruce Bldg. turning out much better than expect ed In Washington the crop will show a decrease from 25 to 40 per cent- The outlook at present is that the crop will be in the neighbor hood' of 32,000,000 bushels, a de crease of 20 per cent of that of one ,-ear ago. Trading can hardly be said to have commenced, excepting a few trad is made in the interior to millers, who are principal buyers at present, and appearances indicate, there will be a slow selling movement during the pi sent month at least, as farm ers wiM be busy thiesning and haul ing to warehouses. Farmers' views are very high as to values, and are decidedly opposite of the real situa tion. Based upon present freight rates, which are very low. selling prices in Europe, exchange and other necessary items of shipment, club wheat on dock here is worth about 76 cents. Millers are paying two cents premium above these figures. Blue stem is quoted 79 and 80 cents, and valley 79 cents per bushel. These are present quotations which, however, are largely nominal, and while later on, should shippers' wants become urgent, higher prices might be re alized. ACCIDENT TO MASSACHUSETTS. Washington. D.

WAS .VISITING WITH A SON Enjoying a Watermelon and Talking Over Old Times When Death Intervened. Overjoyed at the visit of a son whom he had not seen for thirteen years S. R. Cole, proprietor of the small dyeing and cleaning establishment at 14 N. Third street, was stricken with heart disease in his place of busi ness at noon today and died before his son's eyes. Medical aid was summoned, but the vital spark had flown, death ending what promised to be a pleasant visit between father and son. The son, A. M. Cole, a prominent Spokane printer and a former res ident of Walla Walla, arrived in the city last night on a visit to his father The two had not met before in years. The father was overjoyed at the visit and insisted on showing his boy about the old home town, pointing out im provements and changes that had taken place in the years had been absent. It is supposed that the ex citement weakened an already weak heart. Death occurred in the front part of the shop as the two were enjoying a watermelon and talking over ol 1 times. The son was horrified to see his father suddenly topple over from his chair onto the floor. Simple methods were employ ed to resuscitate him without suc cess, when a physician was called. The remains were removed to the Piokard undertaking parlors. Funer al arrangements had not been com pleted this afternoon. Mr. Cole was born at Belfast, Ire land, and was 05 years of age. He emigrated to the United States when still in his teens. He had been a resident of Walla Walla about 18 years, conducting a dye works and cleaning establishment. He is sur vived by his wife, a resident of Spo kane, four sens and one daughter. The four sous, A. M., now in Walla Walla.. William S., Charles H.. and Cecil H. reside in Spokane and the daughter, Mi Charles Berry, is a resident of Mi.on. CABBAGE—PEPIOT NUPTIALS.

PROTEST ON LICENSE FEE. Davenport.—A controversy has aris en as to whether the county auditor shall charge $1 or $2 for issuing a hunter's license without the payment of $2. Several persons have refused to pay this amount, while others have paid it under protest. The game law passed at the last session of the legis lature, in fixing the fee for a hunter's license, says: "The fee for such li cense shall be $1." The auditor, how ever, claims a fee of $1 for entering the license upon the records of his of fice. This claim is based upon the statute which says: For issuing miscellaneous licenses and entering of record fee shall be $1." It is plain that it is intended that the license should cost but $1, but it is possible that the statute governing the fees of the auditor's office may cause the pay ment of another dollar. Attorney W. T. Warren, of Wilbur tendered the auditor $1 and asked for a license, which was refused. It is probable that the ruling of the coun ty official will be tested by the local huntemen. Under the old game law, which was declared unconstitutional, the audi- tor of Spokane county collected a fee of 75 cents besides the regular license fee. The law, however, was not test ed as to this feature. Financier —I told me boss I could not afford to work for tree dollars a week. Merchant —What did he say?

MUST HAVE LICENSE WHENEVER YOU HUNT Olympia.—The attorney general has rendered opinions of state wide import. To the state board of oyster land' commissioners he submits a holding to the effect that the law of 1903 creating such board does not do away with inspection of oyster lands by county boards under the act of 1897. The state board was in doubt on this point and wanted to know if it would be required to make the inspection in counties where application for inspection had. been made and no local board had been created. The attorney general holds that the state board has no authori ty to make such inspection. R. D. Anderson, secretary of the Sprague Rod anid Gun club, is inform ed upon inquiry that it is necessary under the new hunters' license law for a sportman to secure a license in each county in which he hunts. The attorney general holds that since it is unlawful to hunt without a license and that the license under the law only entitles the holder to take game in the county where issued, it fol lows that he must have a separate license for each county. He declined to rule upon the ques tion asked' by the same party as to whether or not the county auditor is entitled to $1 for issuing and entering a hunter's license in addition to the "special neckwear"' 75c and 50c Values I REDUCED TO See AC See Display §£9 m^ In I Our our j Window.
