StaIked by a Panther.

Ralph Flynn, rancher living at
Wayne, on the Seattle, Lake Shore and
Eastern railway, hns had a dangerous
encounter with panther and narrowly
escaped the claws of the beast
Flynn started hunting early one morn
ing, taking with him a Winchester rifle
OF the latest patent, which he had Just
bought and had not learned to handle
with skill. He was looking principally
for deer, and had gone about five miles
through deep thicket when he came
suddenly upon the partially devoured
carcass of a sheep. which had evidently
fallen prey to a panther. Remember
ing reports of sheep having been killed
by wild animals in his neighborhood,
Flynn fastened on, nerving himself for
a tussle with a cougar or some equally
fierce beast With the assurance that
his gun was prepared he cautiously eyed
every nook as he passed, occasionally
seeing fresh tracks of varmints.
Flynn Travelled on about two miles in
this manner without success, and gave
up the chase on that line. He had lust
turned to retrace his steps when his eve
caught what seemed to be dogs head
peerlng at him over a log. A second

panther instead of a dog. Taking de-
hberate aim, Flynn rested his rifle
against tree and fired at the animals
head. The ball only stunned the brute,
which, with crazy leap, made toward
Flynn. The latter's delay in reloading
on account of the new patent nearly
proved fatal to himself, as the panther
was within twenty feet of him when he
shot it dead between the eyes. The
brute was between Flynn and the sleeps

keen scent for two miles,

PRESIDENT Oakes stated upon the for
feiture of the Northern Pacific grant
from Wallula that the value of the lands
confirmed to the company by this action
was 81 ,OOO,OOO,O00. One would suppose
that this amount would satisfy even the
oeglutlve capacity of railroad corpora
ton, but the dispatches announce that
that company are desirious of possessing
little more land and are making an
effort to claim the odd sections of the
Puyallup reservation. It's attornev
General Mcknight deprecates the idea
that the company wants the land, but
says that both Secretaries Villas and
Noble insist that it belongs to them and
they must take it, and it would be inn
polite to refuse.

INGALLS, RETIRES.

The Honorable John ]. Ingalls,, United
States senator from the great state of
Kansas, was not able to succeed himself
but will retire next March to give place
to his, successor the farmers alliance can
didate, Mr.. Pfefer. Mr.. Ingalls, cleo
ton to the senate was an accident, re-
sulting from the action of "bribed legis-
lator" named York who accepted bribe
from Pomeroy for the purpose of expos
ing him, which he did. York was the
example, the precedent which Metcalfe
followed in the case of Calkins recently,
but York had the knowledge that the
majority of the Kansas legislators had
Pomeroy's money in their pockets, and
when he denounced him none were bold
enough to vote for him. In the demorali-
cation that followed Ingalls, was nomi-
mated and elected. He is brainy, bril-
liant man, armed like a hornet with a
butcher knife and a gill of aqua tortis,
and made himself felt, as well a heard,
especially by the democracy. 1t will be
many years before Kansas sends his
equal to the senate, for which the
democracy and Senator Vorhees are
vehemently glad. He would have re-
tired from Office much more gracefully
and with much more honor had he not
tried to truckle to his enemies, the farm
ers' alliance whom he should have known
and understood better, than to have
tried to placate. They boasted that
their ambition was to down Ingalls, and
he should have realized that he was
beaten, and went down with flying
co]ors.

blew across the Brooklyn bridge one
night and wondered at my own temer-
ity.
In those breezy spaces it was as cold
as mans ingratitude. 1t seemed to me
as II my spine were the tube of a
Thermometer, and that the pith and
marrow thereof was very frozen mer-
curry. 1 marked time at the doubIe
quick, let me tell you, in an attempt to
get away from my chills, and decided
that aerial promenades were far more
seasonable in June than in December.

She was very dear to him apparent
ly, for he held her closer than a flapiack
to an ungreased griddle, and I surmised
that masculine propinquity was very
much to her taste also from the way she
cuddled and snuggled and rubbed her
red lips against his mustaches. The
wind curled and swirled around them.

they were SO warm and comfortable in
their corner that they almost seemed
to radiate the heat, and 1 was tempted
to stop and warm my hands at them.

coated defender of the bridge, STAMPING
his feet to keep them warm. eIt don't
make no odds how bad the night, they're
always here from to IL. They seem SO
pleased and comfortable like that hain't
the heart to tell them to move on. In
fact, it kinder seems to take the chill off
to watch 'em. But how they keep SO
warm Is mystery to me- All. love,

BRIBERY ON TAP.

The legislature of Washington has
plenty of work to occupy the balance OF
the session in examining the acts of its
members in the recent senatorial elec-
ton. Assemblyman Frame openly
charges that he was offered $1,000, and
would have gotten S., 900 to cast his vote
for Squire, and gives the name of the
parties that attempted to bribe him.
Senator Long says he knows two sena-
tors who were bribed to vote for Squire.
and that one of them had check for
$1,000 for doing so, but becoming fright
ened tore it up, and another senator re-
covered the pieces and now has them
to be produced at the proper time.
There can be no doubt in the light of
these statements but that bribery has
been on tap in Olympia and that a
number OF the lawmakers imbibed
freely from the barrel. An investigation
is going on and it is to be hoped that it's
managers will escape the temptations
which caused the examination to be
made. Bribery has been so apparently
general that the public will be exceed
lngly suspicious of any verdict other
than guilty as charged" If the un-
orlbed legislators have any sense of
shame left they will memorialize con-
gress to submit an amendment to the
constitution to the people providing for
electlng the United States senators bv
the people. Such a memorial would
come with peculiar grace from the
washington. legislature, and would
carry deep rooted conviction if presented
by the honorable senator recently re-
turned by that body to his seat in the
senate. Watson c. Squire, United
State senator from Washington, asking
congress to submit an amendment to
S Sne constitution which would prevent
MS ever again returning to that body.
would be doing a small measure of Den,

From Society to Socialism,

Speaking of ministers reminds ne oi
little story heard recently. Hugh O.
Pentecost, who started out as Baptist
preacher, broke away from his church.
ran for mayor of Newark, N. j.. and is
now editor of Twentieth Century. He
married very prominent society girl of
Hartford, Conn.,, about ten years ago.
Their wedding was very swell affair.
Afterward Mr.. Pentecost accepted a pull
pit in Brooklyn at salary of SIC. 900 a
year. Everything seemed bright for the
young couple. The wife was handsome
and popular, the preacher was eloquent.
earnest and successful.
A few nights ago some old friends of
Mrs. Pentecost, who had known her in
the days when she shone as a society
belle, went to hear her husband address
crowd of worhngmen on the east side.
Imagine their astonishment when Mrs.
Pentecost came out on the stage and, at
tired In most striking garb, sang to the
assemblage revolutionary song. She
has been most loyal wife. She has sun-
ported her husband in every step he has
taken, and has been of great service to
him in his rather peculiar career. Con
sidering her former life as a society
woman, her present career as a singer of
socialistic songs is picturesque

that the empress of Austria gin go to

The democratic wing of the senate is
apparently victorious in the fight on the
election bill. It is not knocked out but il
has been made to yield its coign of van
tage, and give place to the apportion-
ment bill. 1t is not probable that it can
be again brought up in time to pass, or
for that matter that it can be passed.
Senator Hearst's death might make it
possible but this is a consequential
speculation not worth considering. The
bill is temporarily, at least out. of the
way, and other much needed legislation
will have chance.
