BOODLES REB URE.

IL IL not often that boodlers and
their vicious methods receive so
staggering rebuke as that just nd
ministered by the city OF Spokane
Falls. Peter Dueber, n member of
the city council, has been convicted
of attempted bribery, convicted by IA
unanimous vote and ignomlnlousy
expelled from the council. IL mat
ters little now whether the heavy
hand of the law ever falls upon his
guilty shoulders, or whether his as
sociates In crime are brought to
punishment; the fair name and
fame OF Spokane Falls have been
cleared Of "A foul blot; word has gone
to the world that boodlcrs can not
flourish here without arousing the
indignation Of the public and meet
ing with that rebuke they merit.
For the part 1t played In bring
ing Dueber's crime to the atten.
tion of the public, the REVIEW
claims no credit. 1t IL pleased to
recall the fact that II did Its duty,
and glad to know that its concep-
ton of the tone OF public sentiment /
in Spokane Falls has been verified
by time,
In the meanwhile, where is Due
Der? Somewhere between Spokane
Falls and San Francisco. Perhaps
some Of his associates would sleep
more easily II they were assured
that he would never return. He
has been convicted OF attempted
bribery, and there is ample reason
to believe that this was not his
first ofiense. or course, Mr.. Dueber
had many quiet little conference
before he opened his negotiations
for votes. But let that pass. Word
has gone TO the world that In our
city, at least, there is nomore white
wash for boodlers and bribers. That
will do very well for the present.

lost their footing and fell between the
ties, No one saw the children fall. The
water is about eight feet deep, and the
bridge twenty ieot above the water.

little child finally toddled home and
told her parents what hud happened.
The children were seen for the last time
on tue bridge, about 4 4. NJ, and the
alarm was not given until o. The
bodies of both were soon recovered. The
head of one Of the victims was found TO
be severely cut, caused doubtless by
striking in the fall. The place is very
public, but II so happened that not a soul
witnessed the accident. A number saw
the children standing on the bridge and
then afterward saw the youngest girl
alone oil the bridge. The victims are
tho daughters OF John Mcdonald, n
loogshoreman. The parents are nearly
distracted with grief over their double
