WILL PREPARE TO CELEBRATE

Mayor Ronald Calls q Citizens Meeting
on Great Northern's Completion.
Mayor Ronald yesterday issued the following
call for meeting of citizens to prepare a pro-
gramme for the celebration of the completion OF
the Great Northern railroad:
SEATTLE, Dec. O. 1902
Inasmuch as the citizens of seattle in every
walk of life hailed the announcement OF the
intended construction OF a new transcontinental
railway whose western terminus would be in
this city, and have watched with increasing
interest the energetic efforts of the Great North
ern railway owners to bring that hope to q
speedy realization and now that the new rail-
way, which must be great factor in the future
enlargement of our commercial interests and
that of the whole state, is nearly completed, it
seems but natural and businesslike that the
people of the Queen City should soemniZe the
completion of this great enterprise by grand
public celebration.
/ therefore call a meeting of citizens at the
council chamber for Monday evening, December
l., 1892, at 8 p. m, to formulate n programme.
J. r. RONALD, Mayor.

ideas about the proper method of educating
them. Once she said that she did not think
anything was gained by pushing child I'm his
studies, and she wanted her boys to be strong
and healthy before they did any hard work with
books. She hoped they would be musical. and
enjoy the soul -strring strains of the great COM
posers.
Mrs. Story loved good music and her extern
sive education, both in this country and Europe,
made her very critical. During the evening of

on the acting and singing of the chorus and
stars at the opera, and made many comparisons

Just thrown her opera cloak upon the bed when
the fatal ball crashed through her brain That
cloak was given to her by her divorced hus
bands father when she in Europe She
prised 1t very highly and had worn il only once
before. AS she came out of the theater she re-
marked that now that Seattle had such beau
tiful theater, abe could wear "father StOry's
cloak frequently" She thought a great deal of
her divorced husbands parents, and, when in
England, stopped with them greater portion
of tho time. she also visited Mr.. Dawson's
parents and made a most favorable impression.
She was well received both in literary and
musical societies, and her exceptional talents
made her a center OF attraction. The same was
true in the circles in which she moved in this
country. Her friends in Vancouver and Seattle
came to her assistance in tho hour OF her
trouble, ana are now ready with their aid in
the care of her children and the laying away Of
her remains.
The remains OF CHARLES Rogers Moultou, the
child of wealth and victim of folly, were buried

President J. R. Mcdonald. OF the Washington

Eventually we expect to get nearly all of the
Vancouver and Victoria trade. There's nothing
to hinder us. From the point where our road

In Sewer County, Tennessee, In 1889,

pie are wont to do still at country
postofflces waiting for his turn to
have his wheat ground. Half an
hour or so after Reagan arrived at
the mill well-known local character

local terror, fond Of brawls and
fighting, and in the habit of having
his own way.
He had to take his place in line

Reagan's turn to have his grain

Reagan demurred, stating that he
was in hurry, too; that he was EN-
titled TO his place, and meant to
keep it. This angered the brawler.
He cursed young Reagan, and said
he would fling him out through the

the word, made rush for the future

Of the people in the neighborhood,

he had killed a man, that he would
be hanged for 1t, and, scared almost

END OF THE DISPUTE.
Gov the Peacsmaker Was Rewarded for
His Interference.


They might be called, for the pur-I
bose Of distinguishing them, Fighter
No /, Fighter No. and the Peace-I
maker.
Fighter No, | thought James G..
Blaine probably the greatest man who
ever lived.
Fighter No. 2 thought that Grover
Cleveland could give him four cards
to royal flush, four draws to ILL.,
and stand pat" himself and beat him,
Fighter No. thought that Fighter
No. didn't know a statesman FROM
hunk of beef
Fighter No. thought that Fighter
No. didn't know statesman from
0 case Of sickness.
The Peacemaker thought that both
lighters were getting excited
Fighter No. thought it was none
Of the Peacemaker's business.
Fighter No. thought he could
take care of himself without any help.I
The Peacemaker thought they were
both making fools of themselves.
Fighter No. l thought it was free
country.
Fighter No, thought he didn't
need a guardian.
The Peacemaker thought there
wasn't going to be any fight if he
could help it.
Fighter No. l thought the Peace
maker ought to go off in some quiet
corner and kick himself
The Peacemaker thought he ought
to kick Fighter No. !
Fighter No. thought that if that
were to be done at all he had first
claim to the job and he didn't want
it taken off Of his hands
The Peaccmaker thought Fightet
No 2 ought to shut up.
Fighter No. hit the PeacemakeF
on the nose.
Fighter No. / struck the Peace4
maker in the eye. +
Fighters Nos. ! and 2 both kicked
the Peacemaker.
And then they dropped politics and
went around the corner together,
while the Peacemaker limped home
and had his wife bandage his wounds.
And that's the usual result.
