Facts About Jerry simpson.
Dilt Nve.


Jeremiah Simpson is the congressman
from the Seventh district Of Kansas. He
is native Of New Brunswick, and at IA
years of age went to sea, where he became
q victim to the habit Of going utterly with
out socks He takes great pride in his
well-surned mahogany ankles and richly
carved legs. At fuil-dress parties and re-
ceptions the coming season he will Offset
the low corsage of the timely formed Wash
ington City bellies by wearing set of high
cut panties, revealing his welEgroomed
though still slightly chapped ankles.
He was mate of . large bark at the age
of 20 years, and thirteen years ago left the
sea to locate place in Kansas. The Sock
less Cicero of Kansas, as he is playfully
called, was largely in his later years a
fresh water sailor, and his last vessel was
wrecked off Ludington, on Lake Michigan,
and all on board were saved through the
heroism of the captain.
Captain Jerry Simpson is now farmer,
and it is said was elected because he
showed on the stump his sockless condi-
ton. claiming that he was so poor and
honest that he could not afford socks. His
successor will doubtless be plain man.

district and wiping his nose on the top

Until last June Mr. Simpson was the
city marshal of Medicine Lodge. He was
up TO that time regarded as short on
genius and long on socks. Now 1t Is 9TH
erwise. Next to the .krcufzer Sonata"
and the young lady ar the Fourteenth
street museum who has a heavy sorrel
name down her spinal column, the Sock
less holds the age ON public notice.
Colonel Marsh Murdoch was the first to
discover that Jerry did not wear socks.

or nearly so at least.
He also owns several head Of bright
young heifers, several of whom will enter

say that he treats all troubles of the feet,
such as corns, bunions and improving

by mail as well as personally. He has

and cheerfully answers all questions re-

The Upper white River valley.

ESuMcLAw, April ll.-ISpecial- 1.-The farmers
are busily engaged planting new hops, setting
the poles in the old yards and putting in their
crops, and all seem confident that they will be
favored with the usual good crops. The town
people have offered splendid inducements to Sc
cure the location OF q large sawmili here, and
several parties are making the preliminary in
yestigations preparatory to locating here with
plants now owned or to be purchased by them.
Sixty-6ve bales of choice hops were bought
last week by Arthur Poole for Pier Bros, OF New
York, at IS cents, from Charles Forget and Eu-
gene Cote.
Franco Dana, manager OF the Washington
cigar factory, is preparing TO erect building on
Railroad street, to be occupied by him and used
for cigar factory. A. 6. Rogers, editor and
owner of the Evergreen, viii also build to secure
more room for his plant and office.
The population of this portion of King county
hiss been recently increased by several families
from Ohio, Kansas and the Eastern states, who
have or will buy land here and become perma-
nent residents. The land in this locality is
much cheaper than in most places west OF the
mountains, and offers many inducements to
those desiring TO secure good land az reasonable
prices near TO railroads and markets, and being
covered WITH growth of small trees such as the
alder and bareback, can be cleared at compar-
atiyely small expense.

Railroad Clerk Here.

The Portland Embezxlers Formerly .
Railroad Clerk Here.
Frank Haffey, who has been brought
back from Denver to Portland to answer
a charge of enbczziing $500 from the
Union Pacific railroad, was formerly a
clerk in the Office Of w. b. Spencer when
that gentleman was joint agent of the
Oregon improvement Company, Pacific
Coast Steamship Company and Oregon
Railway & Navigation Company. He first
held the position of bill clerk, but was af-
forwards promoted to be revising clerk.
After remaining here about year he
went three years ago to Portland and be-
came a clerk in the Office of Ben Camp
bell, then general freight agent of the
Oregon Railway & Navigation Company.
When ]. G. Woodwork succeeded Mr..
Campbell, Hafey was appointed chief
clerk, his principal duty being tho ad-
justment of claims.
In speaking of him Mr.. Spencer said:
"He is one Of the best-posted men on
franscontinental tariffs ON the Coast and
could always have had good position.
He was rather a boyish fellow, though he
must now be about IS years old. He was
always good worker here and never
knew him to dissipate, though he would
occasionally go ont with the boys. ! am
surprised that he should have gone
wrong"

Attacking Party.

CHICAGO, April Especial. William
A. Prior's fashionable haberdashery in the
Studebaker building. on Michigan avenue,
was in . state of siege from 8 o'clock last
night until this morning by an organized
gang of paid IaE-brcakers. A gang of des-
perate men undertook by forclble means to
secure possession of the premises occupied
BY Mr.. Prior, and nearly spilled blood in
their attempt.
In May, 1900, Prior rented the store and
basement from the Studebakers on FIVE
years lease, which contained clause Civ
ing him the privilege of retaining the store
ten years longer. Recently Prior failed
and the establishments is now in the hands
of the assignee. Studebaker has been try
ing, 80 Prior says, to break the lease. and
has resorsed to every means to drive him
out.
About 6o'clock last night Mr.. Prior, who
vas in the store. noticed gang of men in
front of the building. He instantly di-
vined that an attack was to be made on
the premises. He ran to the street door
and locked and bolted it, and he was not
an instant too soon.
A man with revolver in his hand
rushed up the steps and pounded on the
ground glass door. LET me in" he
shouted, II am armed. and so are my fol-
lowers. We demand possession: you
must get out" mot much, % replied Mr..
Prior. The leader then slipped pair of
handouts through the staples on the door.
locking it from the outside. Mr.. Prior
and his force were locked IN. With him
in the store were Mrs. Prior, her sister,
three clerks and three young women.
Then some of the gang broke through
the four-inch wall in the rear of the base
ment, thus securing an entrance TO the
building. but the door leading to the base
ment had been securely barricaded. Pres
entity babel of voices was heard in the
cellar. One of the clerks ventured near
the ground glass door, and his shadow was
reflected on the stairway. There came
mufiied report, followed by the crashing
of glass. One of the fellows in the base
ment had fired shot through the door.
Several other shots were fired, but luckily
no one was hurt.
The people in the store held the fort
bravely. Finally word was sent to c. NJ.
Hardy. Mr.. Prior's attorney, who sum-
moned the police, and six Of the attacking
party were arrested.

Guards for Yosemite Park.

WAwOsA, CAL, April 1a.-Captain A. E.
Wood arrived here tonight He has been
sent here by Secretary Noble 70 ascertain
the best way the Yosemite National park
can be guarded; also at what point in the
park guards can be stationed to the best
advantage. Very little can be done as yet,
as the mountains are covered with snow.
1t is probable that a company viii be
stationed near here, as this is the southern
boundary line of the park. Captain Wood
intends pushing up in the mountains as
far as possible, and has secured the SER
vices of A. c. Leonard, one of the oldest
and ablest guides on the mountains. They
leave here tomorrow morning for Yo-

THE GREAT NORTHERN ROUTE.
Right-of-Way Up the Skagit Said to
Have Been Secured.

N. A. Prentiss, of Sank City, who is in
the city. told OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES reporter
yesterday that the Great Northern rail-
road had already secured most of the right
ot-way along the north bank of the Skagit
river for its line across the mountains.
He says that the route does not seem to
have been decided on any further east than
Sank City, which is at the confluence of
the Sank and Skagit rivers, as it is still
uncertain by which pass the road will
cross the mountains. II the road comes
over the Skagit pass it will come
down the Skagit river above the confu-
ence, while Wards or Cady's pass would
bring it down the Sank. In either long
tunnel would be necessary.
Another informant stated that con-
tract would shortly be let for thirty miles
ofroad up the Skagit valley, bat Great
Northern officials refuse TO say whether
this statement is true or whether the route
has been chosen.

indians win Not Enlist.

ST. Louis, April 12--Colonel Wade, Of
the Fifth United States cavalry, at Ft.
Reno, says in his report to General Mer-
rift, in regard to the enlistment of Indians
in the regular army, that strong efforts
have been made to induce the Indians to
enlist, but they are Of no avail. General
Merritt thinks the attempt on the part of
the government to enlist Indians as regu-
lar soldiers will prove failure. They will
serve as scouts without hesitation, but
have positive aversion to acting as either
infantrymen or cavalrymen.
