THE PEOPLES .MEETlNG.

The following is a report Of the pro-
ceedines of the late popular meeting at
Ellensburg. W. r., at which utterance
was given to the ringing resolutions
heretofore published in these columns.
The report is taken from the Locaiize,
Of that place:
A large and enthusiastic meeting as
sembled in the Elliott Hall on Satur-
day. Posters had been hung out for
sOmo days, announcing that An indigna-
ton meeting would be held in Ellens-
burg ON March 22d. The object of the
meeting was not fully expressed, but the
crswd. four -fifths of which was from the
country, responded to the cali. The
meeting was called t. order.k. +. Mont
gonery being called to the char, Al d 5.
L. Sterling appointed Secretary. The
Chairman explained the object of the
meeting. The first business transacted
WAS the appointment Of committee to
draft resolutions. +. s. Thorp. F. ID.
Schnebly and B. Il. Craig constituted
said committee. W. II. Peter respond
ed to the call for speech. He took de-
cided ground i'll favor of the forfeiture
of the land grant by the Northern Pa
cific Railroad Company. He deplOrsd
its tardiness in building the road. espe-
eiaily the Cascade branch.
Mr.. Sterling being called OIL. address
ed the assemblage and gave them a stir
ring speech, and some cogent reasons
for the faith that WAS in him, and why
the people should not submit to be tri-
fled with any longer. j. L. Leclerc also
gave some telling hits in reference to
the damaging procrastinatlon to which
the people have been subjected by the
Nortern Pacific Company, averriIg that
the pre-emptors Of kittitas have paid
for the road years ago, and have been
all this while fed on false prom ses, and
still have no road.
On the motion for the adoption of the
resolutions reported by the committee,
Daniel Gaby protested. He believed it
not right by resolution to denOnnoe the
course of our late representative for not
supporting the memorial adopted by the
Legislature on the forfeiture question.
Gaby. too, did not think it proper to
la d the course Of the Signal paper
above the local press that it was an
unjust discrimination To do SO.
q. W. Parish next took the floor, by
request, and made a significant little
speech. In VIII n he portrayed the un-
paralleled patti .nce of the people in en-
during the fragrant violations of the
Northern Psciic Compauy's promises
for ,hs last 20 years. He depicted that
the )pIe of this country had suffered
all the privations, without receiving any
benefits whatever, for l9years.
The sentiments of the audience were In
entire harmonv with the majority OF
the sneak sra, 6ho spoke freely from ths
convictions that moved them. The
pre- awble and resolutions as reported
by tue committee, were adopted, with
but two dissenting voices.

LrpRosY.-A clear case Of leprosy has
been developed at the Jail in the pers"n
of a Chinese lad, who was captured
while stealing fowls. The white physi-
clans being in doubt as to what allied
the boy, two Chinese doctors were called.
They pronounced his malady to be lep

prisoners. and lately has shown dispO
sition to starve himself. At least. he
has no appetite and is losing strength
rapidly. Sooner or later the govern

Probably a Domed Lie.

4 curious story concerning certain
fresco decorations Of the capitol dome
at Washington has recently been revived
in way that may create something of a
sensation. immediately after the war,
when the painting in the interior of the
rotunda was finished by Brindini, the
Italian artist, it was commonly said that
the heads of the figures in the group of
tyrants being dispersed by the Goddess
of Liberty we're exact representations Of
certain leading characters Of the south
ern confederacy, also that the goddess
was an admirable portrait Of q handsome
Washington female with whom the ar
fist maintained close friendship and
who for 8 long time passed as his wife.
The truth of the story was vigorously
denied at the time, but ever since then
scores Of people who have come to
Washington and gazed up into the dome
have been startled by the wonderful
similarity of the heads to those OF certain
southern leaders.
Brindini died q short time ago, and
there are several persons IN Washing
ton who knew him intimately who are
now willing to admit that while the ar
ltlst was executing the work, during the
war, he expressed a discrimination to
pat IN the faces of conled erate ehieitains

ting their lntamg as rebels against llt The

Two Huhbands.

In Montgomery, Ala. in 1860, the
marriage Of young Xto the charm-
ing Miss Was the event Of the sea-
son in the circles where the happy coup
le were best known. Everything for q
time went on delightfully."-, but it was not
many months before the sulphurious
cloud of war enveloped the land, and
the patriotic husband, with thousands Of
others, babe his wife q fearful farewell
and rushed to the fight to fight for the
Confederacy. As the crimson years Of
that sanguinary period rolled on they
brought mournful tidings to the devoted
wife at home. Among the braves who
bit dust in hard-fought
battle poor WAS reported

mapgled body was thrown into name.

grief.stricken widow recovered some-
thing of the naturally bEoyant and JOY

story, sympathized with her grief for the
dead husband, and after happy court,
ship married her in a lonely Georgia
town where she then resided. Mr.. aud
Mrs. Z---lived happy tegether, as ev-
erybody had predicted, and in due sea-
son three blooming children were sent
to gladden. their hearts. Unhappily the
story does not end here. Sometime ago
Mr.. WAS astonished to learn that \
-, the first husba q, was not killed IN
the war, az reported and generally be.
loved. Worse, still, the man was then
living, and in every respect as unlike
corpse as living man could be. Both
Mr.. and Mrs. Z---were thunderstruck,
dazed, and utterly overwhelmed by this
discovery.
After the first paroxysm OF despair
and desperation, L., who is q man of
prompt decision, abandoned the long
time partner OF his JOYS and sorrows, the
mother of his children, and declared his
determination Of living apart from her.
Seeking legal advice, T. conclud ed
that the next step in order was to have
the legal status Of the parties to the un-
fortunate union definitely settled by the
courts. With this object in view the be-
wildered and grieved husband has in
structed his attorneys to file a bill in
equity in Fulton Supreme Court. In
this bill the complainant, after clearly
stating the essential facts detailed above,
prays that the stete's writ of subpoena
be directed to his alleged wife command
ing her to appear before the court, and.
that, in order to have his relation to the
defendant and society determined, and
the legal status of his three children
fixed, said marriage be annulled.
The children Of this peculiarly sad
marriage are now living, and are aged
respectively II, Is and Is years. Where
the first husband is, and what he thinks
Of the tangle, the reporter could no.
learn, but the case as It stands IS suffi-
cientiy pathetic to touch every heart
