Death of Judge Jones.

Last Sunday our community was
inexpressibly shocked Ivy the informa-
ton that Judge Il. A. Jones, Chief
Justice of the Territory, had died at
his home in Seattle, at 9 80 that morn
ing. The Judge had been indisposed
for several weeks with \ complication
OF diseases, but the immediate cause
of his death was suffocation from drop
sy OF the lungs. The following brief
sketch of his life appears in the Ore
gonida: Richard Asbury Jones was
born in Indiana, October %, 1880.
He went to California during the gold
excitement in 1850. subsequently he
removed to Minnesota, where he en-
gagged in the practice OF law and at
tanned a high place in the bar OF that
State. lie removed to Portland, Or,
in 1856, and in April, 1887, was APP
pointed to the Chief Justiceship ofthis
Territory. His last official act was his
decision against the woman suffrage
, law last Tuesday He leaves two sons
VI. Keith Jones, train master on the
st. L., :. & E. railway, and r. S. Jones
resident Of Rochester, Mimi, and
two daughters, Miss Isabel C. and
Edith Jones. Judge Jones was a wild
over. He WAS Il thirty-second degree
Mason and formerly occupied the office
OF Deputy Grand Master of the Grand
Lodge of Minnesota. The BODY has
been embalmed and will be sent te
Rochester, Mimi, for burial. Service.
, in this city will be private. Judge
Jones was man of noble character
lawyer Of splendid attainments ant
just judge. He had been resident
of Washington Territory but u shor
; time, yet long enough to gain the con
! fidence, respect and admiration of Thu
commonwealth. His death is a grea
, loss to the community.

Such stereotyped expressions OF
opinion as the above pass for very lit
tie with thinking people. Impartial
suffrage has never in any sense been a
party question in our Territorial poll
tics. The number voting for and
against the proposition in the Terri
torial Legislature ever since it arose
has been about equally divided be-
tween the two parties. One Republi-
can (now an independently and one
Democratic Governor have given it
the sanction Of Executive favor. The

ASCENT CT MOUNT RAlNIER.-A
party of seven men, headed by Prof.
Ingraham, of Seattle, successfully
scaled the nights of Mount Rainier, on
Tuesday of last week. The names of
the party are: John Muir, the famous
traveller; Prof. f. s. Ingraham, =. b.
Van Trump, the well-known guide !:
ID. w. Bass, A. c. Warner, N. o. Booth
and Charles Piper. Two others of the
party who failed were Artist William
Keith and II. b. Loomis. This is the
third successful party to make the as
cent, though numerous attempts have
been made. Several photographs were
taken of the craters. The views of
the surrounding country surpassed
description. The whole of Puget
Sound, with all the islands, bays, inlets
and cities, was plainly visible. The
only two other successful ascents were
made by 7. B. Van Trump and Haz-
ard Stevens IN 1871 and by Van
Trump, James Longmire and George
ID. Baily in 1883. All three of the as
cents have been made on the south side
OF the mountain between the Nisqually
and Cowlitz glaciers.

A Republican Primary
md ITS USUAL CHARACTERISED


AS usual the Republican primary
Wednesday evening partook of the ma
ture of circus. At eight o'clock
Ringmaster Horn mounted the ros-
trum and cracked his whip, when the
buzz around the room ceased and all
til, performers became obedient to Or
ders. The merryman called out for
Chairman was our respected friend
Judge Ready, and the riders and
and tricksters and acrobats promptly
filed into line as their names were
called. A Republican meeting, be it
noted, differs materially from n Demo-
cratic assemblage. 1t couldn't be
Democratic if it tried. 1t is not made
that way. To illustrate: Mr.. Horr
and the remainder of the Central Com
mittee, it seems, had decided who
should be not only chairman, and Sec
retaries and tellers, but who the people
Should support as delegates to the
County Convention for the "cut and
dried" programme was carried out, and
strange to say without protest. The
chairman went through the form of
placing each of the names submitted
by the committee for officers of the
convention before the meeting and tax
ing vote by reclamation, but it was
form only, and if anybody had choice
other than that of the committee, it
was stified. The balloting then began
and continued till nine O'Clock, when
the poll was closed. The count con-
sumed nearly two hours, and both the
original secretaries were deposed and
others better skilled in arranging fig
ures substituted, to facilitate the work.
The result was as expected. The cut
and-dried" ticket won, and Poor Tom,
the Sancho Panza if not the prime
minister of Old Nick, found himself in
the condition of the man who was
kicked by the mule. Twenty of the
twenty-five names on the Horr-Cen-
tral-C Committee ticket were elected,
and are said to favor Allen for Dele
gate. So brother Cavanaugh, if he
fares no better elsewhere, will have to
bury his little Brents boom beside that
of the lamented Gresham.

that entrance TO the bank was made few nights
ago by the removal of bricks, plaster and woodwork
Of the wall between tho main floor OF the bank and tho
hallway I'm FOurteenth-st. There several ten
ants the different floors Of the bank building.
reporter last night called on Mrs. Montgomery, who
occupies apartments on the second floor. She
not surprised when spoken to about
the rumors, but refused to say anything the sub
ject way the other.
Nearly all of the store keepers in tho neghborhood
Of the bank said they had heard something about
the bank being robbed, but could nothing definite
the subject Several Of them told reporter that
they had heard that unsuccessful attempt was
made to enter the bank and that the men had then
building and had succeeded in robbing Mrs Mont
gOmery of money and jewels. Captain Grant and
his men are working tho case.
