Ferry in Hot Wafer

OLYMPIA, July 13.-When Paul
Relcker, assistant state geologist, ar
rived in the city to-day from the geolog-
lcal survey in Stevens county, he ascer-
tanned that the governor had cashed the
draft for 5000 which he had drawn on
Treasurer Lindsey to get himself and
his eight men out of that section of the
country.
Mr.. Reicker Immediately called on
Governor Ferry and stated that he de-
sired to pay him back the money and Il
would like to have receipt for it, said
Mr.. Reicker. At this request Governor
Ferry flew into passion and said; I'll
not give you receipt, for you will prob
ably use it for improper purposes. You
have already referred to me in the news
papers IN an unbecoming manner"
Reicker kept his temper and told the
governor among other things that the
people in the mining countries were dis
gusted with his actions. This the gov
ernor denied, saying that he was inyul-
nerable and he only wanted such fellows
as he (Reicker) and Lieutenant Govern
or Laughton to fight him and that he
knew the needs of the people. Reicker
paid the money and received the draft
which he will keep as evidence of pay
ment. He told the governor on return
ing that the stoppage of the survey he
thought, would put back the state fully
from Sc. 900, 1000 to s1O,OOO,O0O in min
eral productions. The governor became
fnrious at this statement and again re-
ferred to newspaper criticism. Relcker
10 from Seattle, was surveyor OF King
county and resigned to accept the posi-
t;on Of assistant state geologlst.

DOG AND COUGAR IN A FIGHT.

A Mail Carriers Canine Companion
Makes a Good show Against Odds.
Jim Mcmahon. who carries the mail
into Vance, was riding leisurely along
the trail with the mail pouch slung over
his horses back, and his dog, a big,
courageous animal, brimful of fight,
and ready TO tackle anything from a
mouse 10 a bear, was trotting ahead Of
the horse, occasionally making short
excursions into the forest through
which the roads winds on the trail of
some wild animal
Suddenly, after having made "A dash
through the brush. the dog came tear
ing out into the road. utterng savage
and fierce barks. his hair bristling and
~evincing u~nmistakable signs Of terror.
Jim at once surnised that the cause OF
the dog retreat must have been due
10 an apparition Of some unusually
large wild animal
SBurring his horse he rode up to the
point where the dog was still growing,
and encouraged the animal 20 attack
the unseen cause Of the commotiOn.
The dog responded by a fierce rush into
the brush, and in a few minutes APP
peared near the road in savage son
hict with a large cougar. After a short
fierce round both went down, the dog
on top. His master knew, however,
by his screams and growls that the dog
was not having the fight all his own
way.
The cougar had leaped and fastened
his cleaning fangs on the dogs head,
while his hind feet, with sharp claws,
were tearing into the dogs side, and
were making the hair and the blood

the wild animal, was plungng and
rearing In terror Jumping from hi.

STUDYING eLocurcN IN The PAX

A Jealous Theological student Falls Into
the Hands Of the Police.
The life Of "a park policeman is SO
destitute of incident that it was natural
that one of them should start in sur
prise one morning I'm Central park
when he heard a series of unearthly
sounds come from a secluded thicket
I'm a little frequented section of the
great pleasure grounds. The sounds
were Of a kind which, if heard in a
house at night, would have at once
stamped it as haunted. The voice. or
voices were now raised in anger, now
dropped in love.
At one time the accents told Of an
overmastering hatred, at another they
seemed 10 speak of victory and joy;
sarcasm was now the keynote, then bit
ter invective or gentle pleading. The
policeman warily approached the fast
nesses whence the noises came, fully
convinced that lie had a dangerous
duty 70 perform He felt of his re-
volver 70 make sure that it was all
right. and stole forward until he saw
whence the vote came.
In a little opening in the forest stood
a tall young N, in long, black frock
coat His b. ck hair was long and
tossed in disorder. The man had
taken off hi nat and overcoat and had
thrown the on the ground. He a
all alone, cut was declaiming away,
gesturing With his long arms as if ad-
dressings large multitude. The police
man could at first make neither head
nor tail out of the spectacle, but when
he heard what the lanky young man
was saying he became convinced that
he was an escaped lunatic. This wa
what the orator repeated owe and over
again:
20 thou. that rollest above, round
as the shield Of my fathers, Whence

The man ran through the whole
gamut Of human passions and moods

the other feelings which he wished 70

The size Of the speaker. the vehe-
mence which he put into his words, and
above all, the energy with which he
swung his long arms in emphasizing his
question, gave the policeman such a
wholesome idea Of bis physical proves
that he quietly withdrew for assistance.
With two brother policemen he came
back TO capture the supposed lunatic.
The young man had put on his hat and
overcOat and was leaving the secluded
spot when the policemen came up to
him and made him a prisoner.

The Sanitation and vital Statistics.

1t is stated to have been one of the
laws of Confucius that the Chinese
doctors were to be paid, not for cur
ing sick people, but for preventing
them from getting sick Each doc
tor was assigned to a district on a
salary which was increased when the
district was healthy, diminished
when it was sickly, and suspended
altogether during great epidemic.
TO facilitate the duties of these doc
tors, who were enjoined to make
constant examinations into the
causes of such diseases as might pre-
vail, great discretionary powers were
given them for the suppression OF
these causes.
Moreover, another class of doctors
was appointed who were to be State
inspectors, whose duty it was to as
certain that the district doctors wer,
doing their duty and with what re
suits, for which purpose every death
had to be reported to them and what
the deceased died of. In this way
the health Of the whole empire was
provided for, as well as the know.
ledge of all the causes which tended
to benefit or injure it, and thOst
causes placed in the hands of govern
ment officials with full power t.
move them.
Now, we are ready to admit that
nine tenths of all this is mythical
but the very existence ofsuch myths
Indicates the deep conviction il
mems minds that government inter
vention for the prevention of disease
is very essential part of public re-
quirements, and that the methods o
carrying them out all come under
the two heads of Sanitary 30 rds and
Vital Statistics. In other words, the
State authorities should know Wher,
mortalty prevails, what are its cause,
and how it can be prevented.
In this country the Chinese method
is reversed millions are spent foI
medicines, almost nothing for vital
statistics and sanitary measures.
Our sanitary boards, State, count!
and municipal, ought to be recag
nized as the physicians Of communi
ties as the individual doctors are o
individuals; and the physicians ot
communities ought to have every ia,
ciIity for feeling the pulse, taking
the temperature and examining the
tongues of their patients, or (What il
the equivalent in their position) o.
knowing who are The sick and dying
and what they are dying of.
Our present reason of Offering these
considerations is our knowledge thai
great efforts will be made in the Leg
stature now sitting to have stringen
laws enacted for registration o
births, marriages and deaths, in favor
of which we desire to the best of oul
ability to enlist the force Of public
opinion. ID. f. w.
