NEW QUARTERS.
The City Negotiating for Rooms
in the Court. House.

RigIey Will Redeem his Pledge and
the County Court House Will be
Done October "Details for the
Carpenters and Painters.
Steps have been taken looking toward
the leasing of the basement of the new
court house to the city for Office purposes.
There is ample room for the county Of
fcers in the upper rooms, and there seems
to be no obstacle in the way of such an ar
rangement.
Yesterday, in company with number of
the county commissioners, Mayor O'Brien
made detailed inspection of the basement
apartments and expressed himself as highly
pleased with the arrangement and finish of
the rooms. He also said he thought the
council would favorably consider propo-
sition from the county commissioners to
rent the basement. Of course the action of
the council will be governed by the price
asked by the county fathers.
There can be no doubt about the mutual
advantage OF such an arrangement, both
zens at large.
The city cannot build a hall for some
time to come and it will be many years be-
lore IhurstOn county will have enough
business to Justify the use of all the rooms
IN the handsome granite court house.

keep his pledge without doubt and turn

Inc Dulidlng Is practically finished now.

past week, he has been oscillating between
Vashon college and the Tacoma exposi-
ton. When he left VashOn Yesterday
forty men were at work in and about the
college building. The edifce is built of
brick, stone and iron. The central eleva-
ton is four stories high, with two wings of
three stories and frontage of 120 feet.
The whole establishment provided with
electric and gas fittings for illumination,
ana with the most approved appliances for
heating and ventilation. Everything that
men, money and material can do is being
done to forward the work and nothing

DUSKY DIAMONDS.
Valuable Land in Pierce County
Opened for Entry.

Said to Contain COaI-A Rush at
the United States Land office
This mOrnIng-Pierce County
Well Represented.
George Mills and his assistants at the
United States land Office, together with
John Rea, the land attorney, had about all
they could do this morning to attend to
the wants of a large delegation of home
seekers from Pierce county. They were
literally doing good old-fashioned land
Office business in which a constant stream
of gold, silver and paper money passed
over the counter and sank with merry
clink into the box provided to catch it.
The occasion for this general rush for
land was the throwing open today of
township of land in Pierce county, situated
mainly in Sucootash valley, in the foothills
of Mt. Rainier-Tacoma. About IL 800
acres of the total survey of
$4,000 acres surveyed belongs to the
government and is open to any kind of
entry. The chief element of value in this
land is coal and nearly all the entries made
were of that class. Olympia was not rep
resented among the list of applicants
Most of the men came from Pierce county.
A few Seattle men took advantage of the
| opportunity and secured coal lands. At 10
O'Clock twenty-eight filings had been
placed i'll the hands of Mr.. Mills
| While John Rea was scratching
away for dear life, filling out applications
! for the throng in his Office. In a general
| sense the applicants were persons who had
'squatted" on the land they desired to
legally possess.
There were ten coal cash purchases,
amounting to nearly $4,000, the principal
purchasers being parties residingin Hough-
ton, Michigan, as follows: John l.. Rees,
Mary L. Easton, Albert N. Boudin, Lucas
P. Goodell John H. Rice, William b. Horr
and William Vanorten.
John Bansweiler and Samuel Kenny. of
Seattle, were the only Washington pur-
chasers. All the purchases amounted to
81 600 cash, each with the exception of
Bansweiler's, whose claim fell shOrt-cOm-
ing to 81, ,315-thus making the total amount
received for coal lands $15,7 ,7l5. In addition
TO the coal cash purchases there were seven
coal land filings, four pre-emption filings
and ten homesteads.
Paul de Heirry, of Seattle, looked after
the interests of John Ransweiler. Charles
Mansen, of the Wilkeson Coal company,
was also present. Nearly all the applica-
tions, however, passed through the hands
! of John Rea

Drowning Half q Continent.

When the Panama canal was first pro-
posed q great cry went up that such a
''ditch" would endanger the lives of mil
lions of human beings. 1t was argued
that the waters on the Pacific side of the
isthmus were hundreds of feet higher
than they were on the Atlantic side, and
that the great rush Of waters to even up
the difference in the level of the two
ocean would drown out all southern
North America, all the West Indies and
most of Mexico and Yucatan. Would
be engineers and sensational editors
passed their opinions or wrote yards of
scare editorials on the subject. 1t now
turns out that the Atlantic and not the
Pacific is the higher of the two oceans.
and that in place of the difference in
level being hundreds Of feet, as had been
affirmed, the surface of the water on the
east side of the isthmus is exactly 615
feet higher than it is ON the western
side Louis Republic.

rHE MEASURE OF OUR DAYS.

In all our walks, in all our ways,
Think not the measure Of our days
Is gagged by figures and by rules, .
AS erst was taught US in the schools:
But, as we help a brothers needs
By noble acts and generous deeds,
By giving comfort where We may,
By lighting up a mourner's way;
The sum of means that we employ
To turn a fellows Ills to joy
This Is the Measure of our days.
A veteran in the wars of life,
A prisoned soldier in the strife
OF soul with stingy, envious Time
Is he who makes his actions rhyme
To universal brotherhood.
Though long or short hath been his road,
Centuries or decades his abode
Among his kind, it matters least
So fellows by him have been blest.
His life is measured by his plan
OF dealing with his fellow man.
This Is the easur of his days.
And much methinks of time he gains,
For all his labors, all his pains,
For reaching outward far and near
To succor want and shelter fear.
No stingy paddock hens him in,
TO mean desires and groveling sin.
A widows blessing him avails,
An orphans prayer some good entails,
While stretching outward over man
He converse holds with Natures plan,
And solving life's deep mysteries,
He grasps eternal verities.
This is the measure of his days.

A Jury Saves the Doctors Seck-Pecpls

ARLINGTON, Va, March 8.-Dr.John A
p. Baker, who has been twice tried fol
the murder of his wife by poisoning her,
was acquitted this evening. The jury
was sent to its about2:3 this after.
noon, and at 4 o'clock returned with a
verdict of mo- guilty" The house was
crowded, packed, jammed and wedged
in until there was no room to be found,
and when the clerk read verdict the shout
of approval that went up seemed almost
to shake the house. Shouts of "hurrah
for Baker, "Hurrah for Botetourt ~
sounded from hundreds of the best citi-
zens of this county, and all efforts to ST.
lence the audience were totally u~navail-
ing. For several minutes these cries of
approval were made and hats were tossed
to the ceiling until the air vas fairly
b~,ackened. 1t was the most whole-souled
and thoroughly convincing evidence of
the peoples belief in Bakers innocence
that could have been given, and those
who have taken SO much time in preach
ing that everybody was down on him
have certainly received a proper and
thorough rebuke. People of all classes,
high and low, rich and poor, young and
old, crowded around the released man,
and We'd with each other in their express
sions Of gratitude and congratulations.
Nothing like it has ever been witnessed
here under any circumstances. No words
can paint the scene and no Imagination
can fancy the evidences of approval
which pervaded the entire audience.
Botetourt county may be proud of the
manner in which twelve of her citizens
have discharged their duty, and the citi
zens of Washington will always be their
friends. Men never received the con
gratulations of a more thankful people,
and the recollections of the just and up
right manner in which they have con
Quoted themselves will forever give them
a welcome in the hearts Of all who we've
present. There is an Indictment against
DR.. Baker for poisoning w. r Gilmer,
but your correspondent is informed it
will be dismissed tomorrow, the com
monwealth being unable to make out a
case. Thus ends the most sensational
trial ever held in Virginia.
