court for the judicial district embracing
the counties OF WhatcOm and San Juan;
and,
WHEREAS. The board is satisfied that
the requirements of the services OF an adj

not warrant the payment OF said Judges
salary, also the salaries Of another deputy
clerk and bailiff and other probable ex-
penses, that will result by reason OF the
creation Of said additional judgeshlp.
Furthermore, The creation OF said

PITTsBURG, Feb. 9-The trial of
Carl Mold and Henry Bauer, as access
sories to Bergman, the anarchist, in
the attempted assassination of II. G.
Frick last July, is on before Judge
Slagle today. The charge is con
spiracy and being accessories to a
felony. Both men are enthusiastic
anarchists and the indictment grows
out of the action of the two men who
went to Homestead, where they dis
trlbuted anarchistic literature among
the people and tried to excite them to
riot. During Bergman's stay in Pitts
burg he was the guest of defendants at
their home, in Allegheny. After a
brief trial both were found guilty, as
charged.

them. | further desire to say" con-,
tinued the speaker, "that after having
made careful examination OF Spartan
names, l do not find any such name as
Ludden among them and we have
good reason to believe that there was
no person of that name among them."
Then there was tumultuous applause
in the Turner headquarters and they
all sang song which proclaimed
"we'll stay with Turner TO the end"
Meanwhile John B. Allen was In the
lobby of the hotel declaring there was
no enthusiasm in the Turner Caucus
which was being held that night and
that he would be elected in day or
two. Such Is the senatorial situation;
Allen says he will be elected tomorrow
and Turner men reply that tomorrow
will never come.
HOW SENATORS ARE MADE
In this enlightened age senators are
made. They are not born to wear
the toga but ingenious and unscrupu-
lous managers set aside the plain in
tentions of nature and change the sap
ling into sturdy oak. Washington's
senator makers are at work at the
present time and are vainly endeavor-
ing TO make a senator out of the timber
they have at hand. The Bolivian
minister tried his skill and found 1t In
adequate. He started for Bolivia the
other day and has reached GAINESVILLE,
Ohio, which is encouraging, consider
ing he has about 1000 miles to travel;
it is encouraging to the Bolivians.
Senator Van de Vanter, who succeeded
To Ia ta J..
worked so hard trying TO elect Allen
that he became sick. Ludden
has always desired TO cast his vote for
Allen as he is the chief clerk in the
Spokane land office, but he dared not
do 50 unless he had a paper at home to
sustain him and make il right with
his constituents. Both happened SIM
ultaneously. Ludden and the paper
Topped at the same instant. Both had
interest at stake and they proposed to
take care of them. This is the true
reason why Ludden changed his vote.
If Allen is elected IL will he because
the governor Of the state of Washing
ton took the reins from the school
boy who was driving the Allen band
wagon and escorted Allen to the
United States senate.
f. ii. Luce, the acknowledgement
of the state of Washington, was born
at Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, May
%, 1859. In the following year his
parents moved to Springfield, Illinois,
and Lieutenant-GovernO Luce re-
ceived his early education in the ex-
cellent public schools of that city. At
the age of Is he entered Racine college
at Racine, Wisconsin, and after taking
three years course there he attended

the practice of medicine and surgery.
He began the practice of medicine in
Springfield, Illinois, but soon realizing
that the state Of Washington afforded
much better opportunities for the prac-
tice of his profession, he emigrated to
this state and located In Tacoma. He
then became interested in the town Of
Davenport, Lincoln county, and re-
moved there in 1888. He is q member
of the firm Of Mays u Luce, financial
agents, which Is well and favorably
known throughout the Big Bend
country. He was elected state senator
to represent the Fourth senatorial dis
trict in the first state Legislature, and
was elected acknowledgement at the
last election. He is man who makes
many friends, and his ability is uni
versally conceded.

The @. p. X. Gets a Line to Duluth

Aho Os 4 ~. ooeo q A<AAo w ONANNH
MONTREAL, Feb. 9-It is stated by a
man on the inside of the Canadian Pa
cific management that during the re-
cent visit to Duluth, President Van
Horne closed big deal for the pur-
chase of the North Star Construction
company and the Superior Belt line to
Duluth. The purchase of the North
Star Construction company gives the
Canadian Pacific control of the Duluth
q Winnipeg railway. The latter road
is now built northward from Duluth
about ninety miles, with two or three
spurs to valuable properties on Mesaba
iron ridges. Connection with the Ca
madam Pacific will be made at the
boundary, and before next winter the
Canadian Pacific trains will be run
ming into Duluth. The Duluth, South
Shore & Atlantic, now controlled by
the Canadian Pacific, connects there
with the Duluth & Winnipeg, and the
completion of the latter would give a
direct line from Winnipeg to Montreal
via the south shore of Lake Superior, a
much shorter route than by the north
shore. 1t is also rumored that Cana
dian Pacific steamers will run to the
port of Duluth, as well as to Port Ar
thur, hereafter. Mr.. Van Horne re-
fuses to admit or deny the report.

STATE CAPITOL GOSSIP

OLYMPIA, Feb. $, 1898.
An old man was sitting in deserted
corner of the Olympia hotel the other
evening. He observed closely all that
was taking place. He saw the MEM
bers of the legislature gathered together
in little knots, and watched them draw
each other off into corners, look
around as if they were about to COM
NIT felony, and then whisper in each
others ears.
" I'll be hanged if this generation
amt crazy" he finally said. Every
man in this house is monomaniac.
He is crazy on the subject of office"
He looked right at John b. Allen, as
he said it, and the senator no doubt be-
lieved that the remarks were intended
for his benefit. The old gentleman
was mistaken, however; there were
two men in the house that could not
possibly want office. They were p. B.
johnson, of Walla Walla, who already
has four offices, and Edmond s. Meany,
who has two positions under the state.
Meany has always had an office and
does not know what it Is To want one.
Johnson Is satisfied for the present.
Ezra Meeker, of Puyallup, who has
heretofore contented himself with rails
ing hops, is raising a row down here
this week. He says that the Worlds
Fair commission has spent money like
prodigal son, and that the state has
not derived any benefit from many of
the dollars which have been paid out.
In the first place, he declares that
Meany is not the useful individual he
pretends to be, but that he spends
much OF his time in newspaper Offices
writing interviews with Edmond s.
Meany. He says that there was no
necessity of press agent" and if
there had been, there was no necessity
of paying a man almost 81 600 to do as
little as Meany has done. Meany
would ruin Banum's circus i'm ten
days II he were appointed press agent y
declares Mr.. Meeker. The meeting at
Ellensburg cost the state 81 ,020, and
Mr.. Meeker testities on his honor that
there was no more use for the meeting
than there Is for a fifth wheel in a
wagon. Mr.. Meeker enjoys making
these little remarks about the World IS
Fair commission, and as he Is tho
roughly acquainted with the inside
workings of the commission and has
filed formal charges with the legisla-
tive committe, there will undoubtedly
be an investigation.
