that county are oil torn up over his de-
cision. MIR. May is cashier Of the bank

MAJOR ARMSTRONG.

1t is perhaps scarcely necessary to
mention that Major J. M. Armstrong is
the republican nominee for county clerk
and that he should receive the united
support of the party for that office
The nomination of this old-time soldier.
republican for clerk was heard with
pleasure everywhere. He Is not only
competent in the highest sense but is de.
serving of the place as "A wounded veteran
of the late war. The brave boys who
saved the flag in the dark days of peril
should not he forgotten IN the days of
prosperity. Having left limb on the
field Of battle, Major Armstrong is re-.
sirictcd to clerical or Office work for n

enough for the republicans of Spokane
county to place Major Armstrong in the
office of county clerk

LET REPUBLICANS BEWARE.

Although there Is every probability
that the republican ticket will make a
clean sweep everywhere In the state, 1t
bchoovos republicans to be OH the alert.
The democrats arc not expecting to elect
any part of their state ticket but are con-
ccntrating every effort to secure members
Of the Legislature. This fact II Is Just Us
well that republicans should know and
be prepared to checkmate. 1t is never
wise to be over-contident. II would he
an everlasting disgrace, aftcr the dc.
mocracy succeeded for so many years in
keeping Washington out OF the Union,
for this state to send two democrats to
the United States senate. 1t cannot be-
conceived that any republican will fail
to do his full duty on such an occasion.
The republican nominees are all good
men, In every. county and district thus
fur heard from, and no reason exists,
therefore, for going outside the party to
vote for good members of the legislature.
The most important work of the first
legislature will be the election of scna.
tors to represent the state In congress
and any vote for democratic candidate
for the legislature will DO equivalent TO II
vote for two democratic United States
senators. Tho government at Washing
ton Is In republican hands and will be
for many years to come. 1t is important
to this state that the representatives
sent to represent our interests should be
In harmony with tho administration.
We have many important matters that
will require attention ut Washington and
these matters can best be attended to by
having republican congressman to deal
with the republican administration. Let
republicans beware and send men OF
their own party to the legislature.

CLAIMED BY TWO MEN.
Lively Contest for Rich Estate In
Kansas.


TOPEKA, Kan, Sept. 1S.--A contest for
the valuable estate left by William VIII
ians, Il wealthy farmer In Usage county,
was commenced in the United States
circuit court to-day by two women who
claim him as their husband and demand
the estate. The announcement that
second wife had unexpectedly put in an
appearance caused sensation In Osago
county, and IN this locality where Will
Williams was n Welchman, and in 1916
married ip that country. by this first
wife, Anne eight children were born,
who still survive. In 1871 there was u
family disturbance of some kind. The
people separated, and two years later the
husband came to America and settled in
Aryonia, Usage county, Kan, where he
had three or four brothers. lie had
never been divorced, but passed for n
lady named Cutharinc Evans
moved to Usage City. She met Will
Jams, and after the courtship they were
married in 1875, but that Williams had
another wife In Wales was not known to
anyone. They had two children, and
their married life seems to have been
one OF perfect harmony, The only cloud
on Williams was the knowledge that
Cathurinc was not legally his wife. lie
country, had prosperod, and wanted her
to have 1t, SO he finally decided it to hor
before his death and died lntestate.
But the secret leaked out before this
time came and he secured divorce in
Chicago and remarked Catharine, whom
he seemed determined to protect in
every way. The first wife learned OF her
husbands whereabouts and came
over for her share of the estate
She finds, however. that before
his death Williams decided every
thing to his second wife, Catharinc, and
she institutes this suit to recover the
property thus conveyed to the Usage
county wife, She claims that the second
wife entered into conspiracy with her
sister or some one else to marry him for
the purpose of getting this property.
The Interesting legal question involved
in this case is the right of Il husband to
give away all his property before his

THE CAMPAIGN I'm LINCOLN.

There is one man nominated by the
republicans for state senator for Lincoln
county whose election ought to be, and
doubtless Is, an assured fact This is
Hon. III. w. Fairwcathcr of Sprague.
lie is self-madc man and is man of
high standing. Few men have larger
circle of friends and acquaintance and
one good thing about him Is that he
knows no distinction between men en-
gagged in different callings. lie is popu-
lar with all classes. He was selfre-
liant worker from boyhood up and ad-
vanced step by step until he acquired
high rank as a railroad official and by
good investments and shrcwd business
management has acquired competency
lie has been for several years engaged in
business at Sprague and is also well
known in this city. where he has some
business interests. lie is capable of
serving his constituents to great advan-
tage In the forthcoming state legislature
and the people of Lincoln made a wise
choice in nominating him.

There have been several cases of mala-

On Monday, the 9th inst, the sovcr-
eigns of Moscow voted almost uuani-
mously to bond the city for $4,000, for
the purpose of putting in system of
water works. This IL II progressive
movement in the right direction and
speaks well tor the push and business
activity ofthc citizens. Plans aud spec

town council for this work.
The new brick business house of VI. J.
Shields will soon he ready for occupancy
1t is three stories high with iron front
and fur exceeds any other building for

The public schools were opened TODAY
with quite u large attendance, with Prof

The farmers in this part ofthe country
are bringing large Quantitica of wheat to

A SAFE MAN.

There Is not u safer man or one in
whom the people have greater con.
tidcnce, now before the people for any
office, than Mr.. Alexander Watt, repub.
lican nominee for the state senate for
Spokane county. Ho is an old resident
of tho coast, having immigrated
to California In 1s40, and spent
the larger part of his time in the gold
fields of Idaho, Montana and California.
He passed through this part of Wash
ington in 1854, on his way to British
Columbia, and had charge of the gov
ernment works at walla Walln in 1862.
He has resided In Spokane county
ten years, and has filled
many stations of trust in the re.
publican party, although we believe he
has never been an aspirant for any office
until his party selected him on this oc-
casion. He was chairman of the cen,
trail committee for Spokane county
when the republicans succeeded
in electing their entire ticket,
although every office in the
county was filed by II democrat at the
time. lie has been constantly engaged
in farming and has lived OH a farm dur
ing all the time of his residence in this
county. He has at the same time done
great deal of work at his trade us
mechanic, and many Of the best
buildings in the county are monu-
ments to his skill and energy. During
his long residence in the West and in
Eastern Washington, and through his
intimate associations with all classes OF
citizens, he has acquired a practical
knowledge of the requirements of the
people which qualities him especially for
the position OF state senator. His cleo
ton is assured beyond doubt.

West Third street, which is being
graded, is practically completed from
Howard to Lincoln and presents nice
appearance The workmen are ut pres
ent pounding away on the clih of solid
rock between Monroe and Madison
streets, and are likely TO continue to
pound away for some time. Hundreds
of tons of solid rock must be blasted
loose and hauled away. AT present
work has only fairly commenced on the
huge rock pile, which is about thirty
feet In depth from the summit to the
street grade, and extends almost entirely
across the street, 1t is necessary to fiji
mp the street for depth of livo or six
feet between Monroe and Lincoln, and n
tramway has been built from tile rock
pile to the east side of Monroe street. and
rock is hauled in cars TO the low place
and used for illling In. Much OF the
rock is suitable for building foundations
and large number OF teams are en-
gagged in hauling it away for this purpose.

stones as are too heavy for tho worlSmen

He said he was 10 years old, and as near

but couldn't tell where. He has evil
