BUTLER BLOCK ELEVATOR.
MT. Phinney Explains Why 1t Stopped
Running.

The complaint made by Delegate Willis on
Monday OF the stopping of the elevator in the
Butler block before o'clock was based upon
the belief that 1t was due to negligence. 1t
seems that it was out of repair.
''The elevator has run without break or flaw
for eight months" said Mr.. Guy c. Phinney
yesterday. 81 have 1t examined every night.

M,LEAS AGAIN ARRESTED.
Another Charge OF Timber Land Swim
dIing-Hfs Female Comforter.


dIfng-Hfs Female Comforter.
n. H. Mclean was arrested last night on
charge of grand larceny, and he Is now in the
county Jail. The warrant was sworn out by
Louis Johnson, who charges Mclean with
stealing $40.
1t is the old story Of the timber land swindle
for prscticing which Mclean has before been
arrested. Johnson is a swede and cannot speak
word OF English. He Gays he was taken into
McLean's office and through an interpreter it
was made known that he came in search of tim
Der land. He claims that Mclean told him that
he could locate him on $50 acres of choice
timber land near Seattle, 80 near that
the buyer could go to 1t and return
to Seattle the same day. Johnson jumped at
the chance and Mclean wanted 500 TO locate
him on 1t. Johnson did not want to give up
500, but finally, after much persuasion, he gave
Mclean $40, and promised to give him
$50 more If the land suited him.
That was on April q. Since then Johnson says
that Mclean has refused to show him the land
and also refuses to refund him his $40, and yes
terday he carried his tale Of woe to A. J. Nc
Bride, deputy prosecuting attorney. Mr. Nc
Bride drew up a complaint, Johnson signed it,
and half an hour later Mclean was arrested and
in the county Jail.
The same charge has been made against Nc
Lean before, but Judge Humes dismissed the
case on demurrer
SihSc thdt eAAics bdiu clCBEAdc last
evening, "at least twenty-five persons
have made complaints TO us that Mclean
by promising them choice timber land
had procured from them various
sums ranging from ;25 TO 800; but there being
no law on the subject we could do nothing.
This evening This man Johnson came in. Ii is a
pitifu case and / think the complaint win
make Mr.. Mclean pay for his dishonest deal
ings."
Since his last imprisonment Mclean has
picked up great deal in both appearance and
trade, and is said to have made considerable
money. A few days ago he opened new and ele-
gantly furnished offices in the Hinckley block,
on the second floor, facing the elevator
While he was in Jail on the former charge
tall woman, with black hair and eyes, known as
"Mrs. Orr" paid him many visits and brought
him dainty edibles. In company with deputy
sheriff, the woman and Mclean went about
town three days in succession, endeayoring to
find some one who would go on the prisoners
bond, but without avail.
Last night a messenger called at the county
jail and left the following note, written in PEN
Gil on the back of ''dodger::"
Mr.. Mclean: What do you want to be done?
What were you arrested for and what do you
want? Diamond do for you? Answer
NETTIE.
Whether this note came from "Mrs Orr" or
from some new capture is not known. One
of the deputy sherifs thought he remembered
having heard Mclean call Mrs. Orr "Nettie,"
but he was not positive.

Trying to settle MilImen,s strike.

A subcommittee from the executive COM
mittee Of the Western Central Labor Union and
Building Trades Council waited upon the mill
owners yesterday in reference to the millmen, s
difficulty. Just how the committee was re-
ceiFed the members would not make known
until they report back to their respective bodies
From what could be learned from other sources
1t appears that the mill owners are to have a
meeting some night during the week to talk the
matter over. Still both sides appear as firm as
ever. the mill owners claiming that the strike
Is not affecting them in the least and the strik-
ers claiming that the factories are crippled so
badly that they can do little or nothing.

NUMBER 3.
MARRIED Seventeen Times,

Several ladies interested in the
work of charity had their attention
called to the apparent destitutIon ol
a family in southwest Baltimore
The mother said the father drank
and neglected his FIVE children. The
woman prevailed on the man to con-
sent to lead better life and he was
induced to call on q minister. He
made all sorts of promises, declaring
that he was tired of the life he had
led and wanted to turn over new
leaf. He told the minister that he
was not married TO the woman who
bore his children and asked for ad-
vice. His children were growing up
and had never been christened and
he thought that his reform would be
complete If he had them baptized
and put on the right side. The min
ister pltled the man and encouraged
him in his efforts TO lead new life.
All the ladies were very much graft.
ied at the apparent sincerity shown
by the man, and they made arrange
ments to have the parents married
and the children christened. They
bought and made the little e,othing;
gave them TToAeY and rugged out the
bride and groom In new clothes. The
wedding was celebrated with great
eclat and the children were christen-
ed. Something about the mans ac-
tiOns induced the minister to look in
to his past record. The investiga-
tion disclosed the fact that the man
and woman had been maErled seven
teen tlm.es, aud the children had
been christened twenty-nine times.
Their mode of operation was the
same in every case, each time get
ting substantial lift from charitable
sympathlzers and then snoying to an
other locality 10 go. through the same
operation.

The HOLiest Place.

The holiest plot of ground upon
the planet is that where a mans
mother lies buried. 1t is a symbol
of all that is sacred under the sun.
1t is the Mecca whittier the invisible
pilgrims of memory bend their airy
steps and around which they cluster
and congregate.
About some of these graves are
grouped statues OF beauty and su'
premeIy equisite workmanship.
Saints clad in the cold raiment of
marble, hold aloft the symbolic
torch, with their almost speaking
eyes turned eastward In token of the
resurrection. Sacred ideas of love
and devotion and fidelity are shown
forth in lnnumerable ways and de-
vices by the chlsel of the master.
And yet the one thought and fact
that mother sleeps beneath, are
craven upon the tablets of the true
heart within inHnitly, sweeter grace
and sublimer expression.
In fact, Danish all trace and effort
at art and yet the grave of mother
remains TO love and memory the
hollest place in all the world. The
very paths in Palestine that the wea-
ry feet of Jesus pressed as he went
to and fro ministering to men, do
not appeal in that distant land so
ioyaily to the heart as does some
simple mound under whose solemn
shelter sleeps the one who travelled
and struggled in life for love of her
children.
Over one grave, that memory re-
calls their rest not stone Of any
kind. The grGs9 IS acaLt and sere
in the days of winter, but even then
every brown blade of it is richer in
beauty and more precious in fiber
than the finest mosaic trodden by
kings and queens In palace halls.
And then, when the. ApEiI winds,
their breath 94ees with tie aroma of
the south, whisper into being the
green blades again, the mantle they
make is priceless far above the dain-
tiest damask in an Eastern court,
Somehow, upon @o;ner's tomb the
lsnowf4keo of winter fall with ten
iderer grace and With an immaculate
wbiteness that surpassses that Of the
lilies of the valley. The blue eyed
violet, with its dusky dlmples filled
with dew, is like some velvet Vs.sei
catching the tsats OF angels. The
Hrst BIRDS Of spring, full-throated
with melody, discourse their sweetest
minstrelsy there and the very breeze,
touched with warmth from the land
whittier the orange orchards open,
lInger with soft reluctance where we
once laid mother to sleep.
Blessed spot above al, thtngs eisei,
Lat 40 rdde' hand or thought ever
desecrate it as long as the heavens
bend over SedaLia BazoO.
