SOME WASHINGTON NAMES
Many Sources Contribute to the No
menclature of The State

Many Sources Contribute to the No
menolature of The State
The names Of some Of the precincts
in this state are certainly wonderful.
In Adams county there is Washtucna,
which sounds az IL 1t was intended to
call it Washington, but the Indian In
fluence controlled before the word was
completed. Antoine and Theon are
rather simple, but Humptulips and
Wynoche are at least unfamiliar. Cath
iapoodle and Chelatchie are closely
followed in the list by Washougal.
Arkansaw and Monticello, In Cow
litz county, show the influence Of the
chivalrous South, but Toutle and
Olequa are distinctly home produc-
tions. Fishhook, Pasco and Washtucna
are the combination offered by Frank
lin county and Garfield has a Pataha
and Tuckanon. Coupeville and Y tsa-
lady are familiar In this part Of the
country, but would sound strange TO a
foreigner.
The connty named in honor Of the
sage Of Monticello offers Chimacum
and Quilcene to the list OF curios, and
Enumclaw, Duwamish, Krain, Sam
| ulhI1llBl anu lOib diO bhC SOibiiph1O"
Of King county.
| Ollalla, Colekem, Manastash, We
natchee, Peschastin, Swauk, Claquato,
Salcum and SkoOkumchuck are a string
Of pearls; Lincoln county has only Sas-
sis TO attract the attention, while Ar
cadia and Coqualima and Humahuma
are In Mason county. Entail, Loop
loop and Toats Coulee are in Okanogan
county. Ilwaco and Nasal in Pacific.
Kapousin, Chop and Tanwax seem to
be all right because they are nearer
home.
Avon suggests the home Of poetry In
Skagit, but they have also Guemasi
Sauk and Samish, which are distinctly
unpoetic. Port Susan in Skagit sug.
gests home, but Stillaguamish and
Tulaco put US at sea again. Lummi
Nooksack and Semiahmoo are righi
alongside In Whatcom.
Oneco, Penewawa, Tekoa, Cowychee
Klona and Wenas are east Of the noun
tains.-Tacoma News.

while the expense of maintenance,
which Is but "A trliling sum, is assessed
equally upon the owners. The small
cost and the enormous convenience Of
such system as this In county dis

adoption Of the plan. Especially after
the expiration Of the telephone patents
in 1894, such a system Of intercommu-

SEATTLE, Dec 2-The Murphy muir
der case occupied the entire day In
Judgs Humes court, and at the noon
hour the prosecution had closed up its
case. George Gordon claimed to be the |
only eye wituess to the affair, and testi-
fed that Murphy had been in the
habit of getting free drinks at Dawes
saloon, and that the two men had had
some words about the matter previous
to the killing. On the day Of the shoot
ing Murphy went into the saloon about
y. m, and after talking with Dave
while took a drink and went out. AT
about 1880 Murphy came back and wit
ness was told by Dave TO tap another
keg of beer When he came back he
saw Murphy put down a fifty cent
piece and order whisky. Dave turned
and got glasses and the liquor bottle
| from the back bar, and was standing
directly opposite Murphy. After set
| ting the bottle and one glass In front of
Murphy he turned slightly 10 the left
and stopped down to fill the other glass
with cracked ice from under
| the bar. As he did so Murphy pulled
a pistol and as quick as lightning fired
one shot. Dave reeled backward and
fell over to the left upon the floor.
| Murphy poured out a drink of whiskey,
swallowed it, picked up his 80 cents
and started for the door. Not word
had been said by anyone from the time
Murphy entered except his order for
whiskey. Gordon rushed over to where
Dave lay in great pool Of blood, saw
he was dying and then shouted "mur-
derr' Murphy turned and said: "What
are you hollering about, you - -
-.n Gordon was afraid he would be
shot too and ducked behind the bar.
As Murphy was going out he raised
up and saw him put the pistol in his
pocket. After putting IL in his pocket
his coat caught on the handle and he
pulled the tail over the pistol. When
he went out Murphy looked first up
the street and down and turned and
went down to the left. Gordon gave
the alarm and crowd quickly gath
cred. He staid near the body until
the coroner came. Today Gordon,
cross-examined said that Clark and
Russell had been after him to get out OF
the country and had asked him TO 20
TO their house. He asked the prosecut.
ing attorney what he should do and
was instructed TO 20 to the house,
While there Clark and Russell Offered
him $3.50 if he would leave the state
, for time. This amount was afterwarC
raised to $500. The outlook Is that all
, the testimony will be in by tomorrow
and the case argued either tomorrow
afternoon or Monday.

The Breezes Irresponsible

SEATTLE, Dec. 2-Salvage hunters
continued all day swarming over Ba-
ker & Co.'s wharf. They were success
full in securing much valuable mer-
chandise. As yet no one can saddle
the damages upon any party. The
blame seems to be laid upon the wharf,
the steamer and the wind. The wind,
while most responsible, cannot be sued
because Of lack Of Jurisdiction, there
fore the wharf will probably have to
suffer, the steamship company claim
ing the wind blew the boat against
the dock.

herits or defects of the two charters

he town ought to have charter of

on the 18th day of March next go out of
business entirely as managers of the af-
fairs of the nation. The indications are
that the enemy will have not only the
head of the nation, but majority in both
houses of congress.
The wise men are all trying to get their
wits together and figure out how it came
about. Secretary of State Foster opines
that the tariff did it. The New York Sun
is equally certain that its war cry, "No
force bill, no negro domination" proved
fatal to the Republicans. Each man in
terviewed has theory of his own, which
is apt not to be any one else's theory.
1t is exceedingly plain, however, that
we're licked, and badly; and the question
naturally arises, What will happen now?
Probably nothing of any vital conse-
quence to us of Vermont or to the coun-
try generally. The tariff may be re-
duced, but it wont be done right away,
and things will go on about after the
present fashion for some moons vet.
About the only change that will manifest
itself hereabouts will be that in the gov
ernment offices.

A NAVAL MILITIA.

We observe with pleasure that patrl
otic and far-seeing member Of the house
of representatives has introduced bill
providing for naval militia for the
State. The organization of such an ad-
junct to our powerful land cohorts would
gods and men. Neptune would, were
the plan carried out, develop, in endeav-
ors to express his delight, high-kiclling
capabilities of which Carmencita never
dreamed, and Mars would fill the floor of
heaven full of holes with the spike on his
helmet in turning somersaults for joy at
the addition to his forces.
The force need not be large. Fifty
men would do. a good basis for organi-
zation would be- One admiral, one vice
admiral, thirty rear-admrals, ten COM
modOres, one captain, two commanders.
one lieutenant, three eDsigns and one
plain private. This would afford the re-
quisite amount Of gold lace; but, of
course, it wouldn't do to have the force
all high officials. The craft should be
either the Barnegat sneak-boX, a duck
boat affected on the Jersey coast, or the
Welsh coracle. Both forms of boat are
preeminently safe, and neither would fill
with water no matter how full its occu-
pant might be of something else.
The question of permanent gathering
place for the force is equally as easy of
settlement as its composition. Burling-
ton is to be guarded by government cav
airy, aud Addison county demands pro-
lection, too. So let the State buy a sec
tion of Dead creek, down in Ferrisburgh,
on the fair bosom of which pelucid
stream the navy would find ample space
to diSport itself. Have the muster early
in the summer. Then the frogs are in
their glory thereaboutS. so that the bat
TALON would require no band. Another
advantage of the locality would be the
ease of obtaining forage. The fish known
variouSly as salmon at Nergennes, lake
trout in Burlington hotels, bullplug i'm
the vernacular of the French residents of
the vicinity and by Yankees called bull
head is exceedingly abundant in the
stream and would furnish capital food
for the officers and man.
Could these suggestions he followed,
Vermont would have a naval militia of
which it might well be proud; it would
be peculiar, source of wonder to all the
nation, and as effective as any.

which was begun some time before that
hour, was soon completed. Then Mr..
Munroe read "the result of your ballot" to
the assembled multitude, which consisted
of Janitor Wilson, who was getting up
the railing and putting down the seats,
and the election was over.
The returns from the several towns OF
the county come in slowly. Bristol cast
203 votes for Harrison electors, 10 for
Cleveland and 16 for Bidweil; Corn
wall, 139 for Harrison, II for Cleveland
and 3 for Bidwell; Panton 25 for Harri-
son, ) for Cleveland and 3 for Bidwell !;
Shoreham l5S for Harrison, 81 for Cleve-
land and for Bidwell ;Vergennes 24S for
Harrison, 61 for Cleveland and for Bid
well, and Waltham ~ for Harrison, for
Cleveland and for Bidwell.
The latest retnrns from the State as a
whole are contained in the following
White River Junction dispatch: Returns
from l91 towns in this State give Harri-
son 33, ,792, Cleveland 13, ,954, Bidwel 1216,
scattering 50 ;Harrison's majority, 1864.
Same towns IN 1888 gave Harrison 10000,
Cleyeland II, 40, Fiske 1913; Harrison's
majority, 24,3l7. In many towns the COM
pilation of votes was not completed until
Wednesday. There are 53 towns yet to
hear from. A fair estimate of Harrison's
majority in this State places it at about
2l 900,
