Stevens County News.

CoLvILLE, Feb. 3.-Solomon Peltier,
formerly merchant of Chewelah and q
pioneer of Stevens county, was before the
board of commissioners last Monday
soliciting assistance from the county for
support. The applicant is quite aged and
without means, but as he has relatives in
the county who are amply able to support
him, the commissioners do not feel justi-
fed in granting his request.
1t is reported that parties in the south
western part OF the country are having
trouble with disreputable characters who
drive stock out of the reach of owners and
secrete them for the purpose of extorting
sum of money for the return of the
stock. This has long been favorite trick
OF the Indians and the whites have only
recently adopted the custom.

men. The police drew their clubs, and in
short time the mob was under subiec-
ton, after the free use of batons. The re-
fractory prisoners were locked in their

ton. There are between 500 and 900 adult

THE LOTTERY LOSES.
Norris Says That the Company
Gives Up the Fight.
THE SUPREME COURT DID IT.
Celebrated Monthly Drawings ut New
regard and Early to Discontinue.

NEW ORLEANS. Feb. 3.-John A. Morris,
of the Louisiana Lottery Company, today
issued long address to the people OF
Louisiana, setting forth the facts in con-
nection with lottery matters. he says
that in 1883 he was approached by
number Of prominent democrats OF
Louisiana, who urged on him
the propriety OF submitting to the legis-
lature proposition for a constitutional
amendment. which would grant him and
associates lottery privilege for twenty
FIVE years, in consideration OF license
sufficiently high to be of material assist
ance TO the state. He was assured that
the proposition would meet with little II
any opposition, and these suggestions
prompted him to make an announcement
TO the effect that he would give halt mill
ion per annum as license. After the
Mississippi floods. at the solicitation OF
number of gentlemen, he increased
the amount to 81, 900, and thus it was
submitted to the people. Then began a
crusade inside and outside Of the state
which resulted in the enactment by con-
gress of the anti-lottery postal law. Nor
ris SAYS he was informed by number OF
able attorneys that this law was in viola
ton of the rights of the state and the free
dom Of the press, and such, in their opn-
ion, would be the decision of the supreme
court of the United States.
Realizing now that they had been incor-
rect in their opinion of public sentiment,
and not desiring to see the people OF
Louisiana involved in strife over the
question, Morris declares they would not
accept nor qualify under the amendment,
even if 1t were to be adopted by the
people in April next. As the supreme
court of the United States has decided
that the anti-lottery postal law is consti-
tutional, it is his purpose to uphold that
law and abstain from violating it in any
manner. Confident that the granting of
another lottery charter would be the cause
of continued agitation and discomfort on
the part of large number of citizens of
Louisiana, he and his associates would be
unwilling to accept such a charter even
though it was given without the payment
of one dollar license.
CHICAGO, Feb. 3.-A special from New
Orleans regarding the announcement of
Mr. Morris, head of the Louisiana lottery.
says it is thought that this means that the
company wifhdraws all propositions for
reissue Of charter, but it is not known
whether some other plan will not be de-
veloped. The lotteryis reported to have
expended between three and five millions
in fighting in the past two years.
1t is not certain what the effect of
Morris action will be politically. The
anti-lottery Democrats offered to make no
nomination, and to retire altogether from
the fight and let the lottery men have the
offices L they would adopt resolution de-
claring against the lottery. Whether they
will do so, now that they have held con-
yention and nominated state ticket, is
doubtful

NEW YORK. Feb. 3.-The prosecuting
attorney made public tonight statement
of the double life led by Carlisle W. Harris,
the young wife poisoner convicted last
night. during the past few years. In the
early part of the trial gentleman living
in Connecticut wrote TO Attorney Well
man, imparting some information which
caused the attorney to summon him 10

He told Wellman that about seven years
ago he was acquainted with a woman
named Lulu Van Zandt, who was married
at the age of IA to one Charles Harris. who
was then Is. Within fortnight the girl
discovered that his first name was Car
Isle, that he was well-born and had an
uncle who was famous physician. Har-
ris' grandfather, d. S. McCreary, was
probably the one referred to. The
pair soon went to Connecticut to live,
when the young wife detected her hus-
band in an intrigue with another girl and
in disgust left him, returning to New
York, where afterward criminal op' ra-
ton was performed. Inspector Byrnes'
men found this girl at Perth Amboy.
where she was living, physical wreck
from the result OF the operation. She
could not be induced to come to New
York to testify, as Harris had threatened
her so that she lived in perfect terror of
him.
Numerous other intrigue, of Harris
have come to light. During his engage
ment to Helen Potts he wished to engage
himself to a young lady in Asbury Park,
and when she asked him about Helen, he
replied he was tired of her and wanted to
''shake her." He was also engaged to marry
young lady living in Brooklyn, close
friend of his mother.
Betrayals of girls by Harris seem to
have been numerous. He was at one time
employed as purser on the Old Dominion
steamship line, and the officers tell many
tales about his habits

JoHNsTowN. Pa, Feb. 3.-Nothing since
the awful flood has caused so much alarm
as series of mysterious murders CON-
mitted within a radius of twelve miles.
Apparently all have been done by
one band, but so far detectives
are unable to discover the per-
petrator. On December 4 the body
of well-dressed man was found in the
woods near Gallitzin with bullet hole in
his head. No clue was obtained as to his
identity, and he was buried. A week
later the body of another man was found
about twelve miles away with a hole
through his head. 1t was identified as that
of George Myers, a prosperous citizen
of Frugality, who had been murdered for
his money. Less than a week ago the
decomposed body of another man was
found in the woods near Bethel. Moth
ing has been discovered to establish his
identity.
