FROM OAKVII.IE.

T. G. Adams was in Montesano over
Sunday.
ID. f. Vernon, he OF the once Oakville
Globe, was in town Monday.
Rev. F. G. Butler is holding revival
services at Sharon this week.
Mrs. j. M. Lewis and little boy were

If the Chinaman, who lives in China
town in San Francisco, pays his assess
ment to the High Binders and makes no
noise about it, he is tolerably safe from
molestation; he can pursue his trade and
grow wealthy. But let him refuse to
make payment as ordered by the High
Binders and resist them, then nothing
will save him from their fury. He dies.
In this county and other parts of the
state, if man silently submits to enor-
nous taxation and other outrages and
never hints that things might be ether
wise, he can pursue his work in probable
safety, and if he is peculiarly silent and
very weak-backed and is narrow minded
and easily led by prejudice and is fairly
respectable in conduct and helps control
public sentiment in favor OF cliques, he
may be elected to office; but if he is at
all honorably inclined, he is subjected to
close espionage. And let him speak
however truly, against the gambling
cliques of the county who do no labor,
save divide among themselves the fruits
OF the industrious farmers and citizens
toll, then he is marked for the cliquc's
safety. No means is too base for these
craven minions OF depravity to employ
against him. Touch one and you touch
the whole gang, and they have their tools
in nearly or quite every precinct in the
county and state. What the Chinese
High Binders are to Chinatown, they are
to Chehalis county and Washington.
They know no honor, no shame, no
scruple, and their whole object is to live
in dissipated idleness at honest tolls ex-
pense.
The price of success in Chinatown is
money payments direct to High Binders,
and silence. The price of success in
many places in our country is money
paid indirectly to gambling set Of
scoundiels, and silence. In Chinatown
all are afraid Of the High Binders. In
our towns are the business men less
afraid Of the Gang? Some day their cup
OF iniquity will be full. Honesty will
triumph.

A ROYAL DORCAS ANNOYED.
The Princess of Wales Overwhelmed b
INDECENT Centenarians.

The Princess of Wales Overwhelmed by
INDECENT Centenarians.
A kindly act of charity privately per-
out q thought of advertisement is now
causing her much inconvenience. Some
weeks ago the attention of the princess
was drawn to tho sadly destitute condi-
tion Of Mrs. Thomas, a centenarian
living at P'1rryport, and the ancient
dame was made happy by a handsome
donation. This came to the knowledge
Of the local reporters, who naturally
doomed royal benevolence. The result is
that tho princess is simply overwhelmed
with applications for assistance on be-
half Of aged men and women and to
judge from her correspondence there
must be thousands Of centenarians in
this happy country.
Public notice has been given that the
princess can give no more, but the
stream Of letters continues to flow to
Marlborough House and Sandringham,
and Miss Knollys, the chief private Sec
rotary, has been driven to devise litho-
graphed form of regretful refusal Many
Of tho applications are undoubtedly
genuine. One from Llanelly, Wales, for
instance, is accompanied by dooumen-
tary evidence that Mrs. Elizabeth Nor
ris attained her one hundred and fourth
birthday on last Tuesday, but there are

TIE VANDERBILT DIVORCE.
An Example OF the Most Pernicious Char
actcr Imaginable.

acter Imaginable.
Tho method by which the Vanderbilt
divorce was arranged is a scandal to our
jurisprudence Worse than that, it is
an influence for tho degradation Of
public morals and tho breaking down Of
tho popular sense Of right and wrong.
Practically Mr.. and Mrs. Vanderbilt
divorced themselves There was no
hearing before q court The parties
did not appear before tho tribunal.
There was no public proof of infidelity
on either side to serve as punishment
to tho guilty party or as deterrent in
fiuence in tho case of others. The whole
matter was arranged by dicker. The
only function of tho court was to give
legal effect to the terms of the bargain.
Is it, then, the privilege Of tho rich
to annul their marriages at pleasure by
mutual agreement? The law, rigidly en-
forced against all ordinary citizens, pre-
scribcs that collision between husband
and wife shall DO an effectual and per-
omptory bar to divorce. Yet this rich
man and woman havo sent their law
yers into court with collusive agree
ment already made; tho court has sup
pressed the evidence agreed to be pre-
sented by sending tho case to a referee
instead of hearing it in open session;
the referee has made report in accord
ance with tho terms of tho dicker; the
court has affirmed it, ordering tho pa
pers sealed so that there may be no
scandal-which means simply that tho
guilty party shall be spared all social
shame and Inconvenience - and the
terms of the collusive agreement have
been embodied in decree which au-
thorizos ono party to marry again at
pleasure and imposes upon the other q
prohibition Of marriage which is as in.
effectual as a bull against comet.
In saying this we do not mean to re-
fleet upon Justice Barrett. He is a judge
whose eminent learning and conspicu-
GUS service are properly appreciated by
tho community. But i'll this matter he
is tho instrument of vicious system
which prevails, we believe, only in New
York and which certainly does not OBJ.
tain in most Of the other states.
Unless we accept the unclean doctrine
Of FREQ love, marriage and divorce arc
not in any sense private matters. Tho
family relation lies at tho very founda-
ton Of society. Divorce equally with
marriage is q matter Of public concern
and should be docreod only after pub
lie hearing and public proof of statutory
cause
A case Of this kind sets an example Of
tho most pornicious character magma
Llv. 1t :noalylSo the majority that there
is ono law for tho rich and another for
tho rest of us. 1t means that if you
have money enough your marriage vows
may count for nothing 1t means that
your misconduct will bo carefully guard
ed against exposure by all the authority
tho courts possess. Tt means that while
collusivo divorce proceedings arc per-
emptorily thrown out of court in the
case of ordinary persons multimil-
lionairo and his wife may arrange such
proceeding in full assurance that it
will be ratified by tho courts, and that
all tho scandalous details will be secure

HAS TWO HEARTS.
"A Physicians Report OH the Most Remark
able Case OF William King.

Physicians Report OH the Most Remarks
able Case Of William King.
William King, tho negro who has
two hearts and is able to control the
pulsations of either at will, and who
occasionally excites the medical associa-
tions Of tho Atlantic coast by making
an exhibition of himself, has been ex-
amincd by DR.. G. A. Jackson Of Pitts
burg, who reports as follows:
''The man has two distinct hearts,
connected only by the larger blood ves-
sells and a very elastic perioardium. He
has the peculiar power of moving either
of these two hearts Independently and
can hold one up under the ribs while
tho other is let down into the groin,
where it can be felt pulsating even more
plainly than when in it's natural posi-
ton. He can stop one or both from beat
ing for a period of one minute and
probably longer, but he has been told
that to extend the time beyond that
limit would probably endanger his life.
The stoppage Of either heart silences
the pulse beats on tho corresponding
side, but does not affect the other. If
both are stopped at once, no pulse beat
can be detected in any part Of the body.
"The left heart is the larger Of the
two, being about the size Of cocoanut,
which is very large for man Of Kings
size. The right one is no larger than
good sized goose egg.
"When ono heart is down III the
flank and the other in normal position,
they are separated by distance of about
IA inches. AS they lie ordinarily in the
chest they are only about two or three
inches apart.
''The most remarkable thing about
Kings case is the fact that each heart
appears to be complete in all its details
and furnished with sufficient blood for
use OH its own side of the body.
'1n some species of lower animals
there are two distinct hearts, but in
them the right side sends blood to the
lungs, while the left does the work for
the general circulation of the whole
body"

AMERICAN CAMElS.
Increasing Despite the Fact That They Are
Butcnered and Sold as Beef.

Butcnered and Sold as Beef.
NJ. T. Campbell, who has been for
some timo at tho famous Gunsight mine,
near the limo of southern Arizona, says
the camols of tho desert arc increasing
very rapidly, and that there are now be-
tween 300 and 400 Of them. This is sur
prising, no says, considering tho large
number that have been killed and palm
cd off for beef in tho past few years and
tho inroads made upon the bands by
passing shownen. Mr.. Campbell gave
some interesting details Of these tawny
denizens Of tho waste places, introduced
SO many years ago by Ben Buttorworth,
and now grown wild.
"Those hulking animals" he said,
"roam mainly between the Gila and
Colorado rivers, in a stretch Of the low
Eagle Tail mountains and the desert adj
joining. There is very fine bunch grass
in that region, and tho camels keep in
good condition. l have several times
seen as many as eight OR ten in band,
and most of them arc very large.
Different persons have been there
from time to time catching them for the
circuses. That is tho source of supply
now for all the shows. Tho hunters 60
out in bands of half dozen ON mules,
as horses would DO of no account. The
camcls, cumbersome as they look, run
very fast, and only mules are enduring
enough in that tough country to wear
them out. Tho hunters stretch out, sur
round band, and out of ten or dozen
manage to cut out and stay by couple,
wearing them out and catching them
finally with lassos. Tho camels arc very
wild at first, but speedily tame down,
and tho showmen can do anything they
please with them.
II was for nearly two years there
mining, and myself and men were fur
nished with camel meat right along
and thought it very good. We paid rs
cents pound for good deal of it, and
we thought it as good beef as we had
usually eaten. The old prospectors, who
had turned to peddling meat, never said
a word to us, but took their pay regu-
larly to 60 away and come back again.
At tho last we found out it was nothing
but the cancels meat which they wero
furnishing US. Then wo began to draw
tho line.
eff the meat sellers and circus people
would let tho camels alone for awhile,
they would increase much faster. The
animals are interesting to SEQ on the
desert and do no harm. San Francis

The st. Paul Railway Company has

five firemen from one of its divisions
The cause of this wholesale dismissal is
said to be due to the men frequenting

owners in any city affected to furnish
