ARREST OF SUPPOSED MURDERER
Some three or four years ago the
body Of an old man named Creed Doss
was found in grove near the Capitol
building at Olympia, where. as is gen.
orally supposed he was inveigled and
murdered for his money. The Legis
la,ure Of 1875 passed an act authorizing
y reward Of $3.50 for the detection and
arrest Of the guilty party. or parties
And now one II. Palm. has been ar
rested at Olympia on suspicion of being
an accomplice in the crime, aud after a
protracted examination has been held
TO appear at the next term Of the
district court. when the case will be
further Investigated by the grand jury.
The evidence against him is, of course,
purely circumstantial and it may or
may not be deemed sufficient TO war

value Of gold and silver by the cost OF
its production In 1859 the town
of w hatcom. not far from Terad's home,

with people bound for the same gold.

The Trua Wifi


The true wife is often questionable in
loving her husband, and him only-in not
caring to attract idle admiration or the
homage of the more serious adorer When
she married it was for love pure and simple;
and she did not look to her wifehood as to
her papers of release from control and her
character of unlimited freedom. She has
no very decided opinions on politics,
woman's rights or the doctrine of fate and
free will. She slips insensibly, and by the
natural training OF love, into the groove of
thought where her husband finds himself,
and holds. his position best of all because it
is he. She Is more content with his fame
than she would be with her own; indeed,
she finds hers in bis, and would not care to
be parsonage of her own account. She
desires for herself, her honor and supreme
personal happiness only his love, only his
health and prosperity; and so long as he is
safe her star is without a cloud to veil its
brightness.
