A RACE FOR A DIVORCE
A Thrilling Speed Contest Near
Sprague, Between Warning
Man and Wife.
The Latter Was Upset Into a
Ditch, but Her Resolution
Was Unshaken.

According to the Sprague Herald
II seems that for some time past
everything has not been perfectly
tranquil in the household of Mr.. and
Mrs, John Bond of Davenport. In
fact things reached the stage where
in John had appealed to the law to
sever the knot connubial and to
award him the absolute control of
the property and custody of the
children.
We are informed that the good
wife is in no way displeased at the
prospect of being divorced from her
liege lord and master, but "doth pro-
test inuchiy" ut the loss of property
and children. However, last Mon
day John Bond and wagon load of
witnesses started for Spragte, closely
followed by John poulson, Mrs.
Bond and three or four children in
u hack.
During the rather tiresome Jour-
ney from Davenport and shortly be-
fore reaching Sprague it evidently
occurred to the occupants of the
hack that they might as well occupy
d "front pew" as to trail along In
the dust Of the enemy. Accordingly
Poulson touched up his "fiyersh

LEXINGTON. Va, Sov. s.--Reports re-
ceived here from Drownsburg, a small
village of about 500 people in Rock
Bridge county, fourteen miles north OF
Lexington, state that that village is ter

of the leading men OF the vicinity, DIR. r.

surgeon, had threatened the life Of
Henry Miller, IA prominent and wealthy
citizen of Rock Bridge county. for in
sulting the formers wife. Miller had
Walker arrested and placed under bonds
to keep the peace, This afternoon the
case came up in magistrates court,
and trouble soon started which ended In
both sides drawing weapons. Miller was
killed and Dr. Walker fatally wounded
and Mrs. Walker, who was witness,
was also killed. Dan and William
Miller, sons of the accused, were shot
and Dan seriously wounded. Samuel B.
Avery and others whose names arc un-
known were also injured. The sheriff
and posse have gone to the scene of the

FOR CHARITY'S SAKE,
A Temporary Homo for the Friend
less to Be Built at
Once.
A Meeting Held Friday---The
Plans Adoptod---Speci-
fcations.

Mrs. J. j, Browne and Mrs. A. j.,
Ross of the Ladies' Benevolent soci-
ETY. met with several members of
the relief committee yesterday and
submitted the plans prepared by Fl,
Prcusse for the proposed Home for
the Friendless.
The plans Were adopted, with a
few alterations, and Mr.. Prcuase
was instructed TO prepare the speci-
fications, and as soon as they are
ready bids will be advertised for, to
he submitted at meeting to be held
on November 10.
Several months ago the ladies of
the benevolent society conceived the
idea of building IA home for the
needy and destitute of the city, and
Hon. j. j. Browne generously do
mated two lots In his addition on
which to erect the buildings. The
ladies then began soliciting subscrip-
tions toward the fund, and at the
time of the fire about $4,000 had
been subscribed.
But so many people suffered pc
cuniary losses ON account of the fire,
and 10 many of those who had sub
scribcd became really unable to pay
their subscriptions that the ladies of
the benevolent society have never
made any effort to collect any of
them. They decided to appeal to
the relief committee instead, and
the result was that on November 2
that body passed II resolution appro-
priating $500 toward assisting the
Ladies' Benevolent Society in build
Ing temporary home.
1t Is proposed to build at this time
structure 10 cost In the neighbOr-
hood of 5000. Ii will be three
stories high with basement, and will
be built on the rear end of the lots
donated BY Mr.. Browne, so that a
larger building can Ike added in
front at a future time.

and, after a brief race, in which 1t
began to look ns IL Bond would have
to take the "back seat" Poulson
attempted to drive by the team
driven by Bond. -.
Right here Is where Poulson made
the mistake of his life, for his hack
striking some resisting substance,
proceeded instantly to tip COM
pletely over and of course dumped
the occupants of his vehicle out IN II
most dignlfled manner.
When Bond, on looking back, dis
covered the precarious predicament
of his wife and children, he imme-
diately reined i'm his invlncible
steeds and returned to the scene.
Hastily jumping out he dragged the
wife of his bosom from the hetero-
geneous mass of hack, children and
horses, and endeavored to prevail
upon her to occupy seat by his
side. II was mo go," however, for
despite the bruises she had received
she clung to the original vehicle and
it's .jchu with the spirit of II Spartan.
Fortunately no serious damage
was done to any of the party, al
though all were more or less bruised
up and presented the appearance on
our streets of having come In con.
tact with u Kansas cyclone.

Producing smokeIess Cool.

A technical journal, Iron, says that
attempts to abnte the smoke nuisance
have Hitherto mainly bcen applied to
the fire CRATE or the boiler furnace. But
an invention has recently been brought
out for trenting coal chemically so as to
prevent the enission of smoke from the
fuel A solution consisting of what?lis
mado into which the coal is dipped. its
effect upon the material is 10 Concentrate
and harden its constituents. At q recent
test two large tires were lighted In open
CRATES, one supplied with ordinary coal
and the other with coal which had been
soaked in the solution [made of what?l j.
The former AS usual gave out smoke and
flame as we'll as heat. The latter, with
plenty of flame and heat. was smokcless.
1t is stated that the cost OF treating the
coal Is about sixpence per ton, and that
tho coal Is much improved by the opera
ton. Perhaps this. method will form q
way OF escape from tho evils of the
smoke utiliction which is constantly get
ting worse OH all sides. Chicago Is
much agltatcd over tho question, and
has much reason to be There Is little
said about it in public hero in Rochester,
n. ", but every observer knows that the
atmosphere of our city Is daily black
ened and befouled by the dense volume
OF black, sooty smoke that pours out Of
every building where furnace and en-
gine are located.

that he can not possibly leave to-

getting better, and he hopes that the

morning for Olympia.

FOR ANOTHER COUNTY,
More About the Movement Among
the Farmers South Of
Spokane Falls.
A Correspondent Who Claims to
Know all About the
Matter.
OAKspALE, WASH, Nov. 8,


EDITOR REVIEW: | see in the REVIEW
of the 9th that II. w. King of the Tekoa
Globe claims to give full information of
the proceedings of the meeting held at
Oaksdale last Friday night by represent
atives of the north part of Whitman
county and the south part of Spokane
counties. In the first place wish to
state that this statement is wrong.
Second, the scheme did not originate
in Oaksdale, but by Mr.. Suksdorf of
Spokane county, who came and made
arrangements with some of the citizens
of Oaksdale to call the meeting
Third, he most assuredly contradicts
himself when he says that the partici-
pants were from points favorably to
Oaksdale for the county seat. Were the
representatives from Tekoa, Latah and
Rosalia selected to be favorable to Oaks
dale? lie can answer that better than l
can.
Fourth. Oaksdale did not make q
motion to present u petition to the legis-
lature to create a new county.
So you see, Mr.. King, you are just a
little wrong. A nd for his information,
| claim to be the first one that ever (or,
at least, never heard of any other per-
talk the matter up of forming new
county, and that was two or three years
ago, and the first effort that was made
was by the farmers in the north part of
Whitman county, and they to-day are
the ones that want new county formed
out of the two The main reason Is that
the county seats are too tar away and in
convenient for hundreds to go TO and at
tend to their county business, and there
fore they want a new county formed so
that they can have IL county seat more
convenient than what they have, regard
less of any town, or men, or set OF men,
that have q few lots in the different
towns to speculate on by getting the
county seat. The farmers in
both counties are determined TO
have the new county, and
when they get that then by ballot they
will locate the county seat and we feel
sure that they will not locate 1t in IA
town in one corner or on the line of the
county; and ! do not think that sensi-
bic people in those places expect such
thing, but will vote to locate In the most
central and convenient LOCATION, and
that is all that any of the Oaksdaleites
and the surrounding country ask.
In conclusion, there was not one of
the parties that are interested in the
townsite of Oaksdalc present at the
meeting, Or have they ever taken any
part in the matter ut any time, but every
move that has been made was exclusive
ly by farmers, and why should they not
when Whitman county is larger than
some of the Eastern states?
