SHE DoTEs ON SPIDERS.
A Queer Old Woman Who Keeps
Roonful of Them.
A childless old couple live on lonely
crossroad four miles southeast of Stod-
| dardsville, Penn. She is great hand
for pet fowls and animals, but the
strangest thing about her is her fond
ness for spiders. Harboring and look
ing after the welfare of lot of spiders
has been her hobby for long time, and
she says she has found great deal of
diversion and comfort in protecting and
Watching her peculiar pets. Years ago
| the old lady SCI apart small bedroom
for the insects to make webs in, and
from that day to this not a single web
has been torn from the walls and ceiling.
| On the sides and overhead every inch of
space is covered with the delicate
work of the industrious spiders, and the
one little window in the room is par
TALLY darkened by layer after layer OF
network over the panes. The numer-
GUS inhabitants of the mass of webs seem
to dwell together in harmony, although
| the old woman declares they often fight
like cats and dogs. Ii the spiders hap
pen to get into snarl while she is in
the room she pokes them around with
knitting needle, gives them good
scolding, and makes them scamper to
| the r respect We homes of film. She calls
them her straddlebugs. There are sew
eral variet es, and they are of various
sizes and shades OF color. When
ever the old lady enters the
room and calls out to the insects in
her squeaky voice, they dart from their
hiding places and crawl ont on the cen
tire of the webs. If any of them are
slow in appearing she Fuckers up her
lips and buzzes like a bee or hy, and
they hasten out to search for prey.
AS soon as the visitor has won the
old woman's good opinion, she be-
comes lo9uacious, candid and confden-
tial. Then she will say that the window
| in the spiders headquarters has not
been raised in more than twenty years,
| for opening it would ruin a lot Of webs,
and after that she will tell how she gets
rid of flies during the summer time.
She drives the flies from the other
rooms into the little bedroom and closes
the door, and then, she says, she has
/ jolly fun in staying in the room and
seeing the horde of spiders hop cut OF
their holes and catch, torment and de-
vour the imprisoned flies Once in
while bee or wasp gets into the room
and buzzes around until it tumbles into

THE STATE TICKET.

The state ticket is one that should
rally to its support every Republican
in the state Oh Washington. More
than average ability is displayed in
its makeup. Many OF the men noiii-
mated have long been prominent in
the affairs Of the territory OF WASH
inSton and are consequently etn::=
nently qualified for the positions for
which they have been nominated
Jno L. Wilson, tho nominee for
congress, is man who viii fill that
position, we are confident, IN man
ner acceptable to the people Mr..
Wilson is identified with the interest
OF this state and is Thoroughly alive
to its wants and necessities. Heirs
a man of great energy and push;
persistent in his efforts, and with all
the ability to lucidly present facts.
As speaker, he occupies front
rank in this territory.
Our fellow townsman, Allen Weir,
will have the honor of being our first
secretary of state. That he is CON-
petent for the position, goes without
saying. Though disappointed in
not seeing Mr.. Weir nominated for
congress, we feel sratiiied that our
section has been recognized upon
the state ticket. In this position
Mr. Weir will have an opportunity
to bring into use his general knowl.
edge of tho resources and advantages
of the state We do not believe
! that there is another man in the
state SO we'll qualified for the posi-
ton. as Alien Wen.
The candidate for state auditor,
T. III. Reed, was for Il Lumber of
years territorial auditor, and is.a
credited with being the best auditor
the territory ever had
MIR. A. A Lindsay the nominee for
treasurer, though not as we'll known
as some of. the other gentlemen upon
the ticket, has held few important
offices in the territory He was. a
delegate to the constitutional con
veution; tho impression he made
there is one that anyone might envy.
Those who are well acquainted with
Mr.. Lindsay arc loud IN his praise
ana speak highly Of his financial
ability.
For Attorney-Gnnrral the conven-
ton honornd W. G. Jones, of Spo-
kane. Tha: be Is Il man OF learning
has never been qnestioned; that he
will conduct the legal affairs of the
state in q proper manner. and salts
factory to the people cannot be
doubted. Mr.. Jones Is 4 young man
that would be an honor to any
state.

THE DEMOCRATIC 700.
THE TICKET \ WEAK ONE.

First upon the ticket appears the name
of T. c. Gritiiths, of Spokane, who is
nominated, for congress. Before his
election to the constitutional conS ention
he was an unknown man. As speak
er he is q man of some ability. He has
one great fault, that is, that he does not
know when TO stop, when he has begun
to talk, in other words he is wind bag,
and a conceited one at that. His man
ner while talking Is very p culiar, as lie
apeaks with claSped hands, making his
gestures with his hands joined together.
For beauty Mr.. Gritiiths would not even
get the BOBBY prize.
For governor has been nominated Gov
ernor Semple. Semple can no more be
compared with Ferry, than You can cOn-
pare skim milk with cream. The Demo.
nominee is man OF mediocre ability !;
weak OF purpose and slow to act: not ths
man to be the chief executive of a grow
ing, young state like that of WashinSto
ton.
When you mention the name of the
candidate for ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, you
say all that can he said, as he is an un-
known quantity. Lieut.. governor, L..
III. Platter OF Whitman.
Next for slaughter upon the list, comes
". III. Whittlesey, of Port Townsend.
To be sacrifice for secretary of state
is unenviable. Mr.. Whittlesey, though
q perfect gentlemen, is not a man of
great political aGumen. With other sur
Foupdinss he might make 4 good secre-
tary of state; it is, however, the story OF
poor dog "Tray" found in bad company
For treasurer, Mr.. kaufman is the sad, &,
kind-eyed victim. He is of Pierce COun-
ty, aud has been secretary of the Demo-
cratic territorial committee. He is an
unknown factor, and after October 1st
will be still more unknown.
Jno. Miller Murphy, the present terri
torial auditor, is put for immolation as
state auditor. Dir. Murphy is also editor
of the Olympian, a daily published at
Olympia. His nomination adds no
strength 10 the ticket; in fact it is a
drawback.
The nomination for attorney general
has fallen to the unfortunate lot of H. J.
Snively, of Yakima. The definition Of
his name is ominors, for it means to run
at the nose; pitifUl; whining. He will
run beyond "a doubt and his condition
after October 1st will be pitiful.
Superintendent of public instruction,
]. ii. Morgan of Kittitas; land commits
sioner, NJ. z. Goodell of Chehalis judges
Of the supreme court, w. H. White, F.
Canahl, B. L. Sharpstein, J. b. Reavis
and ]. p. Judson. Many of these are
unknown and the rest have seen their
days of usefulness.
Wrap them up carefully; lift them up
tenderly, they are the sacrifices of the
Ellensburgh Democratic convention.

Elisha P. Ferry, the Republican
nominee for governor, began his
public career by the practice of law
at Waukeegan, Illinois, IN 1916,
where he diligently followed his pro
fession for thirteen years, beieg ell
ected during that time mayor of that
city, and twice presidential elector
from the congressional district in
which he resided. He was a member
OF the constitutional convention of
Illinois, in 1861, and during the war
served on the staff of General Yates,
organizing several regiments of vol
snteer troops. Governor Ferry came
to this territory about 20 years ago, as
Surveyor general. While in that pc
sition he was appointed governor of
the territory, position that he held
for eight years. Soon after the ex-
piratlon of his second term as ex-
eeutive, he moved to Seattle, and be
came a member of the legal firm of
McNaught, Ferry, Mcknight &
Mitchell. When James McNaught
withdrew from tho firm, on becoming
chief counsellor o: the Northern Pa
cific Railroad company, Mr.. Ferry
became vice president of the Puget

Nomination that is Heartily Endorsed

As wds expected, Col. Landes has re-
ceived the nomination for state senator.
This is an honor that Mr.. Landes de-
serves, and one which the Republican
convention has been wise in bestowing
upon him, For fourteen years has Mr..
Landes been citizen of Port Townsend,
and during that time principal factor
in all that pertained TO the commercial
interests of the place. He it was that
was foremost i'll establishing bank in
our midst, thus giving us a commercial
standing with the outside world. To
Mr.. Landes is due, more than to any
other man, the organization OF the Pert
Townsend railroad, which has been the
means OF inducing the Union Pacific rail-
road to continue their system to this city.
There are many OF our citizens engaged
N business here who could, if they
WoulG, testify to the assistance which
they have received ut the hands of Col.
'Landes. There is not a citizen in our
midst who is more liberal and public
spirited than the Republican nominee
for state senator. Mr.. Landes Is always
found in the trent ranks whenever there
is a question aSitated that effects the
general good. As a state senator he
Will rank with the ablest III the
legislature, and will receive that Ocogni-
tlon which no other man from this sec
tion could secure.
The Call, either TO fill up its editorial
column, or simply because it felt that 1t
was incumbent upon it TO say something,
charges Col Landes with being "cOld,
grasping, relentless mOney-maker, whose
only aim in life is to accumulate money"
The charge is weak, foolish one. No
doubt the editor of the Call himself felt
that his words were farcical, but yet
hoped that he could find some reader
who was as silly as himself, and conse-
quently believe them. Such charge is
not consistent with the character or
standing which Mr.. Landes has i'll this
community. Had he been possessed OF
the characteristics portrayed by the Call,
he would not have been the unanimous
choice of the Republicans composing
the senatorial district; in fact there has
never been mentioned a name in opposl-
ton to Col. Landes. The vapOrous pue'
rile efforts of the Call will not weaken
the high estimation in which Col. Landes
is held by the people of tins community
All believe him to he the man Tor the
Position, and they will elect him by a
handsome majority,
, 1889-09-12

Remember citizens that vote for
tho Democratic candidates for the
legislature means vote for Demo
crat for United States Senator.
We cannot afford to see the state of
Washington represented in the halls
Of congress by Democrats. The par
ty that stands for protection of
American industries, for the protec-
ton of human rights; the party that
has given you financial standing
with the world, has a right to expect
your suffrages at the polls on election
day. Let your ballets have upon
them the names of Landes, Jones
and Plummer. These men represent
the principles OF a great party; a par
ty that stood by the nation in its
hour of peril. 1t you d, not stand
by that party, you are guilty of in
gratitude.
