The treasury department has written
Mrs. Potter Palmer to forward her bills
for salary due her rs president of the
ladies board in order that ruling
may be had on the payment OF her
salary in Isabella quarter dollars. AS
Mrs. Palmer's salary has not been paid
since she became president, she is now
one Of the largest creditors. She draws
$3.50 month, which she turns over to
her clerk. This has left an accumu-
lation of about $1,000 due her for
salary. The entire issue of Isabella
quarters is only $4,000 80 that her
salary covers nearly the entire issue.
II looks as if Mrs. Palmer has caught
the same infectious spirit that prompts
the directors to grab at everything of
value that comes in sight.

Indications point to a crop OF wheat
this fall for the PalOuse country which
will be above the average per acre, and
perhaps one Of the largest the country
has ever seen. In some sections the
cold weather has made the grain slow,
but at the same time has given the
roots time to strengthen, and has
caused no injury. Especially is this
true of fall wheat, which is knee high
and thick, while the spring wheat,
though short, appears to be in almost
as good condition. One or two far.
mers have complained of the wire
worm, but the injury done by this
pest will be so small as not to be
worth counting in a percentage esti-
mate. While the yield per acre is
thus large, the acreage planted is al
most twice that of any previous year.

A SAD SUNDAY IN Two FAMILIES
Three boys were drowned in Pierce
county Sunday, and two families are
in mourning over the sad catastro-
phies. Late in the day, the two year
old son of Joseph Brand, who lives at
Brookdalc, on Spanaway lake. six
miles from Tacoma, fell into Clover
creek and was found only after life
had fled. At Meeker Junction,
on the Puyallup, q little earlier
in the day, two sons of Daniel Herr, q
rancher aged - and 8 years, were
drowned while playing on RATS. They
had gone into the water for a swim,
in a pond that was formed from an
overflow of the Puyallup. One of the
lads became separated from his raft,
and being unable to swim, his brother
went to his assistance, and as is usual
in such cases, both were drowned.

a bad report comes from the militia

band painted the town red" the
night before the 4th. After drinking
at all the saloons. they started in to
loot Chinese store, they secured the
stock of fireworks, overturned tables,
logged the proprietor, and then made
pyrotechnical display of his wares.
They then started in on another store,
but before they had done any damage,
the police appeared and rounded up
the gang.
There is much Indignation among
the people and the case will be laid
before the Governor and a court-mar.
tial requested. Three of the men in
Co. G were burned by the fire works.
Two may lose their eyesight and
another probably die.

GREECE REPUBLIc.-A bloodless
revolution has just placed Greece in
the list Of free governments. King
George has abdicated and the people
OF Athens, backed by the soldiery,
have proclaimed Greece a Republic.
The event though sudden, was not
altogether unexpected, considering the
dissatisfaction prevalent and the i'm
pulsive nature of the people. Greece
is situated on the Mediterranean Sea,
and is about 200 miles long and $50
in breadth, containing an area of
24,97 miles. and a population of

A New Cure FOR Alcoholism.

1t seems very appropriate that one
o! the states which has become so
noted for a remark made 10y one of its
GOVERNORS, should he the leader in
suggestions for supervision of the
llqlI"r traffic. South Carolina steps
to the front and assumes absolute
control Of the quality Of the article
vendcd and the quantity that is to hc
consumed, likewise, We infer from the
price charged OF twenty cents per
drink.
The license plan is abolished. The
state hes h"cNmo the great saloon

such points as the people may, 10y

by the thousands Of barrels and dis
poses OF it at "A maximum price, the idea
advanced in support being that Il high
price will insure moderation. The
revenue derived will go very far to-,
wards paying all current expenses OF
the state.
South Carolina has been for several
years engaged in perfecting some
measure OF temperance reform. The
prohibition element is strong, and
succeeded in combining licenses to in
corporatcd cities and towns. This
was followed by local option, and
finally prohibition became an issue,
or rather 4 side issue, of the day, and a
separate ballot box was placed at the
polls for an expression Of opinion on
that subject. The vote was favorable,
the liquor men not taking enough in
terest to make a determined or united
fight, and the result was the introduce
ton OF an iron-clad prohibitory law
1t passed the House and there were
indictions that it would go through
the Senate, when Gov. Tillman and
his friends devised, as a substitute,
State control of the traffic, regulated
by local option of districts.
The idea is by no means new, how
ever. 1t comes from Europe, where it
prevails in some cities, especially in
Germany. 1t is known as the Goth
enberg system, and that it has found
extended favor ut this time over here,
is shown likewise by the appointment
of commission by the Legislature OF
Massachusetts to investigate this sys-
tenn with a view to its introduction in
that State.

BURIED ALIvE.-An authetic case OF
animation, which led to
burial of a live woman comes from
Morrison, Pa. A Mrs. Boyer, who had
been married about 10 years, was
taken ill and apparently died and was
buried. Some time afterwards, an
old acquaintance of the woman told
the husband that his wife had been
subject to periodic hysteria, during
which times all her powers seemed to
be utterly annihilated. The terrible
thought that his wife might have
been buried alive took such possession
OF him that he became raving maniac,
and his friends to remove what they
regarded as a hallucination. finally
exhumed the body, but found that the
woman had, indeed, been buried alive.
The body had turned face down
ward, the glass in the lid was broken,
the robes We're torn to shreds, hair
disheveled and flesh torn, showing
where the woman had torn herself in
the frenzy upon discovering her awful
position.

COLLIERY EXPLOSION. Another of
those dread horrors, which seem to
occur at shorter intervals as time

100 miners were entombed in one of

taken. The rescuing party was re-
peatedly driven to the surface by the
dense clouds of smoke and gas which
constantly rose, and very little hope
remained at last accounts OF finding
any of the party alive.

CAN SUCH THINGS BE?-Those who
knew Thomas Henderson Boyd best,
place the least credit in certain letters
he is alleged to have written to the
woman who ended his life. He passed,
up to the time it became necessary to
malign the dead that the living might
escape the halter, as a genial-natured,
warm-hearted gentleman. He had his
faults, but when weighed in the bal
ance, we assert without the fear OF
successful contradiction, that he would
compare favorably with some of far
greater pretensions who now have no
word of sympathy for his misfortune
or defense of his name. With such q
character. it seems utterly impossible
that he could have possessed dual
nature, with counterpart so abso-
lutely depraved. Too much has APP
peared on the surface to justify any
other belief than that influential
friends planned line of defense as
bold as it was Infamous, from some
powerful motive, and that the law was
made mere shuttlecock in the hands
OF the most skillful Of players, to pos
sibly save personal reputation from
dishonor, possibly as reward for IA
vors accorded or the promise OF future
smiles of the siren. or possibly to graf
ify the zeal OF fanatics who find in
every great criminal source OF maud
