tall, slender young man and a sallow com.
plexioned woman, apparently his elder in years,
accompanied by half dozen friends, called on
Justice Won Tobel and stated their desire to be
joined In marriage. They were all Swedes, and
hailed from Tacoma. The young fellow said his
name was John Peterson, and the woman he
was to mary was named Ida Nelson. The cere.
mony was performed, and after the usual hand
shaking, the young fellow picked up his mar.
riage certificate and was in the act of leaving
when the justice said:
"You've not paid the fees"
"How much is it?'
"Five dollars"
The young man scratched his head for q
moment, and counting out So, gave it to the
Justice and whispered:

And the young fellow led his wife out, fol-
lowed by his friends. all wearing broad grin
except the generous justice who was Just 81 out
by the transaction, for the county provides that
the justice shall receive as a fee IS for every
marriage performed, and since the salary law
went into effect the fees have to be turned into
the county. "That is not the first time that
have lost money on marriages." said Justice
Won Tobel. "a week ago / MARI ed a couple

told him that unless he paid me the other

around next day and give me the money, but
he has never showed up since"

The West Indians Rough Voyage.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 5.-The British
steamer West Indian arrived yesterday from
IquiQue. This was one of the vessels chartered
to carry supplies to Chile during the war.
Everything quiet at Iquique when the
West Indian left, and all the troops and war
ships were down at Valparaiso, so the crew of the
steamer saw nothing of startling nature dur
ing their stay. deck load of hay taken down
on the steamer was nearly spoiled by heavy
rains near the equator, but it was well insured.
On the way back to California the steamer had q
rough time of it after crossing the line and had to
combat against very heavy head sea that often
swept her decks in spite OF the fact that she was
in ballast. About five days before she reached
San Diego a very heavy sea broke over her port
bow and swept the decks fore and aft. Mr.
Lock, chief officer of the vessel, was forward at
the time, and the volume of water carried him
aft and dashed him against one of the boats,
knocking him senseless. The boat was torn
from its davits and landed on the after part Of
the deck by the wheel, while tons Of water
poured down the cabin and engine-rooms. 1t is
probable that the West Indian will be put on
the trade between this port and Victoria

The furry of opening days
has, settled down and now the
millinery department is hard at
work filling orders.
With such a wonderful stock
from which to choose the trim
mings and the hat, and added
to this the acknowledged skill
of our milliners, youare certain
to have a perfect bonnet.
Millinery marking is closer
with us than you'll find to be
the rule in most cases. Here
the department is one out of
many in the house. Its run
ming expenses are less than a
separate establishment would
be, hence we can make the
margin of profits closer. Add
best prices to best goods and
best trimming skill and you can
readily see why here you get
the best millinery at the least
outlay.
Much millinery was not
shown the first opening days
it is to be seen now-embrac-
ing hats, jets, ornaments, etc.

THE BOMAN HEIRS.
Demurrer to Their Complaint Argued
Before Judge HanfOrd.

The case Of Albert T. Boman and Arrissa L. A.
Bilbrey against Mary Z. Boman, widow of the
late George M. Boman, came up yesterday be-
eDse Judge Hanford in the United States court
on hearing OF the defendants demurrer to the
complaint The plaintiffs, who reside in Over
ton county, Tennessee, In their pleadings allege
that they are the children of the deceased and
bis first wife. On December /, 1890, George NJ
Bemsn made o will in which he be-
sueathed 81 TO each OF his helrs-at-law. and the
nnander OF his real and personal property to
bis wife, Mary E. Boman. On December 10,
1885, the testator died, aud on December 26 his
win vu admitted to probate and his wife ap-
pointed executrix.
TIE Plaintiffs claim that the law of the state
Of WHhington provides that where a testator
dies without having made provision in his will
for bis heirs-atlaw, he shall be considered as
having died interstate, and that the bequeathing
OF II to each of his heirs, withou. naming the
plaintiffs In the suit did not constitute pro-
vision within the intent of the law. They ask
Tor one-half OF the community property, two
thirds OF the separate real property and one
bali OF the separate personal property. The de-
murrer was argued yesterday by A. F. Burleigh
Tor the plaintiffs and Junius Rochester and
James Hamilton Lewis for the defendant, and
was taken under advisement by Judge Hanford.

LOST OFF THE MEMNoN.
Sailor Drowned During "a Gale ut

Captain Anderson, of the bark Memnon in
port from Honolulu, reports having encoun-
tered a southeast gale on September "a and
while taking in the spanker, William Berry, one
of the sailors, slipped from the top of the house,
fell overheard and was drowned. When he fell
from the top of the house his back struck the
rail on the side of the vessel, evidently injurng
him SO that he was unable TO make any effort to
save himself when he struck the water.
Mate Peterson, who was standing close
by him when he fell, threw him a life-buoy,
but he made no effort to catch 1t. The wind
was blowing so heavily as to make it impossible
to put out boat. Captain Anderson hove the
vessel TO, though she rolled so terribly that it
seemed for time she would be wrecked. But
nothing more could be seen of the unfortunate
man. Berry was about % years of age and came
from Pittsburg, Pa. He had never been to sea
very much and could not swim.
The Memnon made the voyage In eighteen
days and is now discharging ballast to load coal
for San Francisco.

darted into an alley and when an officer arrived
nothing could be found of them.
