To XIII Gopher. and SQUIRREL.

The following receipt has proved to be
the best for the destruction of gophers
and squirrels: Take a five gallon can,
put stick of PHOSPHORUS with little
cold water in the bottom of it. Pour in
hot-not boiling-water, just hot enough
to melt the phosphorus gradually. Add
two pounds OF sugar and stir. Then add
cornmeal and flour In equal quantities to
make thick batter. Then stir in whole
wheat until the latter is quite stiff. Pour
in at thesame time fifteen or twenty drops
of rbodium. Tie wheat will absorb all
the water and the mass will become hard.
For use chip off small pieces the size of
hickory nut and place In the runs.

Some Legislation.

Statesman comment says: Senator Pat
terson's bill for the conveying of oonyicts,
insane. etc., to those institutions by special
deputies sent after them by said instItu-
tions was defeated by large majority in
the house Wednesday. The sentiment
which obtained control in bringing about
the result was an unwillingness to take
away from the sheriffs of the several coun-
ties the perquisites Of such trips to the cap
ital; alfo fear that such law would es-
:abllsh an army of deputies and messengers
around the institutions. MIR. Smith, of
Polk, voted IN the negative that he might
have an opportunity to mtve reconsidera-
ton. but the bill will not pass. II has some
excellent features, but there is sufficient
objection to prevent it's passage.

Homestead Exemptions


The homestead exemption bill as II
passed the senate lie modelled after the
Illinois law on the same subject and al
lows homestead exemption from execu-
ton to the amount Of $1,000 together with
minor exemptions, and the exemption Is
valid until such time as the youngest heir
shall have attained majority. The law is
a good one-a much needed measure and
should speedily become a law, as the
present homestead exemption law IS
thought to be void by reason of clerical
error of the 1898 session which enacted it..
By reason OF this error an amendment
which passed both houses in 1898 does
not appear in the law as it went to and
was signed by the governor. The states
of the union, with possible three ex-
ceptlons. all have homestead exemption
laws. The only dissenting votes on Its
passage yesterday were these of Price,
Raley and Simon.

The CoiOr Line Is Drawn.

The Color Line Is Drawn.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 2f-The civil ser.
vice commission has just made public
correspondence With the secretary of The
treasury respecting alleged discrlminatlsr
| on the ground of color IN the removal oil
women as plate printers assistants in the
bureau of engraving and printing. The
following is the statement concerning the
matter made by the committee.
"These women were appointed through
competitive examination under the civil
service rule. Since Mr.. johnson became
chief of the bureau, July 1, 1898. there
have been eighty. eight women removed
who were appointed through exam:na-
ton, and of these eighteen were white
and seventy cOlored, leaving only ten
colored women remaining in the service.
This was out Of total force of 387 print
ers' assistants.
1.-THE fact of this large number of dis.
charges OF celored women and of passing
them over on certlication has greatly re-
duced the number of colored women ap-
plying for examination. No allegation
has been made to the commission tb at the
celored women were removed for any
misconduct"
The reply of the secretary refers to
copy of report from Chief Johnson
dated December 20, in which he states
that the statistics submitted by the
com mmisslon may be correct, but that the
Inference sought to be drawn therefrom
that there has been marked dlscrimina
tion on the ground of color alone IL
erroneous. He states that every selection
for appointment and recommendation for
removal made by him has been made
by him has been made solely in the IN.
terest of public service.

The grand Jury also reported true bills in

indictment against ex.Rev. j. G. Read,

War of the Yakima Successor

Billie John, brother of Captain John.
who after getting ''the power" was mys-
teriously killed in the Walla Walla coup-
try, claims that he is the residuary chief
OF the Yakimas, and that he intends to
maintain that position against all usurp-
ers. He was the second chief during
the life of Captain John, and under the
laws OF the tribe he became head chief
at his brothers death. He says that no
election will have any force, and that he
has made his hereditary claims impreg-
nable by paying off the store debts of
the members OF his tribe through the
sacrifice of a good many horses. The
sun and salmon dances of the Indians
will be held IN the medicine house, be-
low the gap, in about six weeks.

TO KEEP THE ADMIRAL HERE
Secretary Herbert Will Not Permit Meade
TOGO Abroad.
The Permission Heretofore Granted
Revoked by the observation-disclosures
ing of the Action.

The Secretary of the Navy has revoked
that provision of the years leave of Ad-
miral Meade which permitted the latter to
go abroad, and has not revoked the Off
GERS leave in its entirety, as has been
rumored. This action is significant that
the department contemplates further ac-
ton in the case of Admiral Meade, or at
least does not wish to accord him the
privilege of enjoying himself in foreign
travel Many officers at the department
believe that the revocation of the leave
was ordered so that Admiral Meade might
be kept in this country until his case had
been disposed of.
1t is said the Secretary feared that the
officer might get beyond the reach Of the
department before further action had been
taken, and while 1t would be possible, of
course, to recall him at any time, it was
deemed preferable to keep him within easy
calling distance.
Admiral Meade is still in Washington,
and is stopping at the Army and Navy
Club.
When approached by Star reporter to-
day, Secretary Herbert declined to discuss
the case of Admiral Meade further than
to verify the report that his permission to
go abroad had been revoked. this informa-
tion not having been given out officially by
the department.
The admiral he thought, probably gave
out the contents OIL inc oTueE. 1Hc hocsi e
tary remarked that the revocation of that
portion of Admiral Meade's leave referred
to had been ordered Monday Immediately
upon the receipt by the department of the
admirars letter, in which he failed to
verify the interview which had proven Of
fcnsive to the administrauo ton. When ask
ed whether steps would be taken to dis
cipline the officer, the Secretary merely
remarked:
you can draw your own conclusions. 1
don't care to discuss the matter further"
