cowboy he swung his lasso. The rope oangled

certainly full Of force. One dollar was what the

only 50 cents. Her tears and circumstances cid

A VETERAN LUMRERMAN.
He Has Been i'm the Business in Maine
and Michigan.

Mr.. George p. Bartlett and Miss Irene Bartlett,
OF EdInonds, are at the Diller hotel. Mr.. Bart
lett, who is in the lumber business here, has
also followed the same business in Maine and in
Michigan. There seems to be slight improve
ment in the trade here" he said yesterday
''There is more lumber cut in Maine than you
might think. A lumberman who owns a town
ship there covered with spruce, cuts it of rather
slowly, and by the time he gets to the end, the
first part cut is ready for cutting again, for the
spruce grows very rapidly. Then, too they cut
a tree foot or two in diameter there-stuff
which would be thrown away here"

Man From Holyoke, Mass, Visiting in
Seattle.

Mr.. c. c. Herald, OF Holyoke, Mass. who is
making pleasure trip through the West, is
staying at the Arlington hotel. He supplies
many of the big paper mills Of Holy0ke with
their wood pulp. ''There was a time
he said last night, "when Holyoke was the
great center of paper making in the United
States, but now mills for making paper for
books and newspapers springing sup all over
the United States There are large mills
at Appleton, Wis. Wood is the main
constituent of these papers; but fine
writing paper which is still made
from rags, is manufactured largely at Holyoke
For such grades OF paper water not too hard nor
too soft is needed, and the water of the Con-
necticut river is just right. So believe that in
this branch at any rate Holyoke will keep in the
lead for years to come"

STRONG CRY, Kan, June S0.-The
friends of the late Col Wood who ac-
companied his body to this place, where
his funeral occurred, are reticent re-
garding the action they will take con-
corning the murder. They say, how
ever, that if the murderer, Brennan,
receives a fair and impartial trial no
bloodshed will follow. If, however,
the trial is farce, then the course of
the law will be interfered with and
determined effort will be made to mete
out summary Justice to the murderer.

Barrels by Post.

We had sent our baggage, as we had
been advised, to the post Office, where
we at once went. The bag which we
wished to post to Zermatt seemed to us
very heavy, but scythes and barrels and
bundles of old iron, labeled and adj
dressed, were lying on the floor, and
we supposed it must be all right,
though the postmistress, as soon as we
had paid our money, turned away with
out giving us stamps or receipt, and had
nothing more to do with us. We need
not have worried, for the Swiss post
Office takes anything and everything
that the express companies at home
would carry, and if one does not bother
about his baggage it is as certain to
turn up at his journeys end as 1t would
be to disappear in England if one ven-
tured to let it take care of itself. j.
