looked out, wondering why his friend had
been driven 70 take his own life. His
Youngest boy came into the room whis-
ting merrlIy, and did not disturb his
fathers reverie. In short time the boy.
who was in has 10Th year, came up to his
fathers side and laying has hand on his
shoulder, said:
Goodbye. papa
Bang" went pistol, and the young
man fell TO the door corpse.
A car load of Seattle people arrived here
yesterday Among the number were Mr..
and Mrs. w. E. Boone. Mr.. and Mrs. NJ.
Il. Maddocks, Mr.. and Mrs. G. W. Furry,
Mr.. and Mrs Ed B1rweli, Mrs. o. c.
Shorey. Mrs. e. c. Kilhearne aud Miss
Julia A. Chamberlin. The latter is on her
way TO Europe for season of rest and
study.
Rev. Clark Davis and his wife are having
q rich time, drinking in the wonders Of the
great exposition. Mr.. Davis having been
reared in the South has q genuine fond
ness for the old-fashioned Southern negro
The first day he was here ne spied an
elderly colored lady in crowd In the
Washington building. Leaving his wife
with some friends he hurried over TO shake
hands with one of his best Seattle friends.
He was covered with confusion, however,
on finding that his boosted ability TO
recognize colored folks at q distance had
fooled him. When he returned TO the
group of bis laughing friends il was by
circuitous route, as if he had timpiy been
examining one of Prof. Hudssn's stuffed
birds.
Harry A. Bigelow is here on his return
from Indianapolis, where he was in attend
ance at the encampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic as delegate from
the state of Washington.
O. c. White, the state printer. arrived
yesterday with his two sons, whom he viii
leave here for week while he goes on TO
Milwaukee as Washington's representative
to the Sovereign Grand Lodge of Odd
Fellows.
Robert Anderson, formerly clerk in
State Auditor Reeds Office. is here from
New York, where he has recently been
visiting at his former home. Ii is Pc
culiar coincidence that Miss Rainwater.
one of the clerks in the last house Of rep
resentatiyes. is here also. Miss Rain
waters home is in Dayton, Columbia
county. 1t is generally known that these
two estimable young folks formed an at
tachment during the last session of the
legislature, which resulted in their being
engaged to be married. 1t may be possible
that Clark Davis. one of Seattle's cham
pion marrying parsons, may have knot
to tie here at the fair.
Hon. A. A. Lindsey, ex-state treasurer
and the present deputy state treasurer,
met some distant relatives In the persons
of ex-Gov. w. A. Newell and the latter's
two brothers. Col. Newell and Or. Newell,
from New Jersey. and together they all
went out to inspect the New Jersey build
ing, which is reproduction Of Washing
tons headquarters at Morristown. The
between Mr.. Lindsey and ex-
Gov. Newell dates back to the proprietor
of the original Of this interesting Worlds
fair buiiding-Jacob Ford, who was the
Ford of Washington. Jacob Ford's grand
father was Rev. ] Ohm Lindsey, who was
born in l640. Thus il is seen that our
good-natured and red-whiskered treasurer
Is true blue Yankee whose pedigree ex-
tends back into many years and many
generations. As he is confirmed old
bachelor it is feared that he is not doing
bis duty by his country in perpetuatlng
this strong and historic Jersey stock.
Gov. Newell's relationship to the Lindsleys
comes through the Ford branch of the
family. bIr. Lindsey has gone on East to
visit his old home friends, and Gov.
Newell. l believe, has returned to his
home in Olympia.

This was demonstrated TO my entire salts
faction by a conversation had with Sec
rotary K. A. jerks, of the New Hamp-
shire board OF Worlds fair managers. He

great constancy to his work, which con-

enters and hears Mr.. jerks as lie enter

stories of New Hampshire's beautiful
mountain scenery. The building contains
, beautiful panorama of these scenes.
See here, my young friend. are you

10 his building.

'Well, want you to tell me about that
AIRY story over in your building. DO you
really want us to believe that you produced
I0l bushels of wheat on a single acre of
w Washington soil 7"
''0f course we do" and then followed a
description of how Mr.. e. ]. Northcutt. of
Pullman, did really beat the world s record
On wheat growing
well. may be that is all right, but what
about that bigger story of l57 bushels of
bats on a single acre."
That was also explained, and he was
old that If he would go TO the La Conner |
fats he could shy his coat into field of |
growing oats aud the garment would float |
IN the thick growing grain.
'oh, myl Do you chop 1t down with |

Then he was invited to the Washington |
