HIS GAME DID NOT WORK,
Fiannagan Attempts the "Flim Fiam,
and Is Arrested.


and IL Arrested.
A man who gave his name as Andrew
Flanagan and his occupation as that of
sport, was fined $25 by Justice Won Tobel
yesterday upon charge of petty larceny.
Flanagan endeavored to ssfim FAM
woman who runs cigar store at 2O7 Com
mercial street out of $9.75, but failed. He
went into the cigar store yesterday morn
ing and tossing $40 bill upon the
counter, called for % cent cigar.
Cant you give the changer" asked the
woman.
mo, it is the smallest l have.n
Just then young man, presumably
Flannagan's confederate, rushed into the
stand and wanted a package of cigarettes.
The woman turned to get the cigarettes
and 81 bill was substituted for the $40
bill. A second later the change, SO. rs, was
given Flanagan, but just as he was walk
ing out of the door the swindle was discov-
cred. The woman called Officer L. B.
Pearce, who was just across the street,
and Flanagan was marched to Jail. The
prisoner had just SIS in money and no
more, and so the prosecuting attorney
finally concluded that it would be cheaper
to accept the amount as a fine than to
send the man to Jail for term.

HAD NO PREMoNITYoN.
Tho Last Visit of the Fated George n.
Humphrey.

Tho Last visit of the Fated George III.
Humphrey.
1t was a cruel chance that stood between
George H. Humphrey and death, on
Wednesday afternoon. A circumstance of
merest insignificance turned the scale
and, unconsciously, the unfortunate man
went forward to meet his tragic death be-
meath the remorseless wheels of car No. IL
OF the Fremont line.
On that fatal day, between noon and
o'clock, the deceased was in the private
office of Superintendent Barnard. of the
public schools. Mr.. Humphrey had visited
Professor Barnard on business connected
with the supply of desks for the schools,
and having concluded that part of the in
terview, he turned to the professor and
said, jokingly, "Did you steal my $40 um-
brella?" He referred to a fine umbrella
that he had left at the Office on his last
visit, which was about three months ago.
No." replied Professor Barnard, 'this
Office is an exception to the general rule.
We always return even that especially
tempting thing in this climate, an UNI
brella."
As he made this reply, the supe-intend-
ent reached behind the door of his room
and handed Mr.. Humphrey his umbrella.
Looking at the article, the owner laugh
ingly charged the professor with having
worn it out, and said that its dilapldated
condition probably accounted for Profess
scr Barnard's willingness to return it. The
pathos of the remark, ''Oh, well, just keep
it until return" cannot be fully appre-
ciated, save in the light of subsequent
tragic events.
Together the two men left the superin.
ton, slowly sauntered down town. One Of
Mr.. Humphreys last remarks was. II
tell you, Professor Barnard, the city of
Seattle is to be congratulated. She has
one of the most upright and intelligent
boards of education with which l have
ever had to do" AS they passed the
Chamber of Commerce Professor Barnard
had it upon the tip of his tongue to invite
Mr.. Humphrey to lunch with him, but
suddenly remembering previous engage
ment, the words of invitation remained
unspoken, and poor Humphrey went on
without warning to meet eternity. The
two men parted in front of Dexter Horton
& Co.'S bank. and Mr.. Humphreys last
words to Professor Barnard were, "Ill see
you again soon."
Some time ago he had told Professor
Barnard that about four months ago
large Touring mill in Minneapolis in
which he had considerable interest had
been consumed by fire, and that the plant
being uninsured he had sustained heavy
loss. Professor Barnard said that Mr..
Humphrey was a man of fine character,
upright in his dealings, and of jovial,
hearty disposition.
The remains of Mr.. Humphrey will be
shipped to Minneapolis on the 6:15 train
this morning C. F. Weber will accom-
pany the body and Mrs. Humphrey will
meet the train at Puyallup.

other merchants of the city
suffered so great a loss.
The two years that have
passed since that day have
been such busy, prosperous
ones with us that the great FIRE
seems scarcely more than al
unpleasant memory.
We have been back at the
old corner a year, and what 4
bright year it has been! Each
month has outrivaled its pre-
decessor, and we look forward
to a future which is rich id
promise.
We are more than grateful
for this pleasant year, and to|
again commemorate June 81
we have taken the best way in
which to reward our faithful
army of salespeople.
1t was our intention in 1880
to inaugurate on July I of that
year the closing of the big store
at 6 o'clock. Since then we
have always intended as soon
as possible to put in force this
idea.
We are now in position to-
close the store at 6 o'clock each

Keeping the Scalp Clean.

Combing with a fine tooth comb and
wetting the scalp every day are practices
which induce scalp disease and create dan
druff. The fine comb should be used
only occasionally, and that not enough to
irritate the skin. The head should be
washed carefully with soap and water at
least once a week, and if one is working in
places where there is a great deal of dust
in the air this process should be gone
through with oftener. Too much water
closes up the oil glands of the scalp, and
makes the head dry and hard.
Premature badness and dandruff fol-
low. If in spite of all this the scalp is still
too dry an occasional application of lit
tie hair oil or sweet oil may be used, but
nature as rule supplies sufficient oil for
all needful purposes. Water and oil ap-
piled freely to the hair make filthy and
unpleasant head of hair, and it should be
avoided as much as possible.-Yankee
