 He Kent the OhnnR,e.

Into enc of our fur western towns there drifted an Englishman and Irish man, 6 Scotchman and We4shman. These four went into business together and were more than fairly prosperous, the first break in this copaStnership be- ing caused by the death of the English man. He made a verbal will. by which he bequeathed all he possessed to his three partners, with this proviSo-that each of them deposit $i00 in his coffin and that this be buried with him. AS the legacy was considerable one and as the partners hsd q sincere regard fox their late associate, t3fey quite willing ly aeoeded to his queer reQnesa The fu- neral over, the partners returned to the store, and the following dialogue took place;

Legally Dead, PhysieaIIy Alive.


 New York law has fashion of get. ting into curious tangles. One of the most interesting kinks is developed by the assertion that Dr, Buchanan, convict ed of murder, is legally dead, the day fixed for his execution having passed. His counsel claim that their position is succinctly stated in the proposition that q man cannot, in the nature of things, be killed twice foG the same otfelse Ex- pert medical testimony, however, indi. cates that he Is alive, aud the case may degenerate into all undignified squahble between two eminent professions ovex the question of whose opinion in such matters shall prevail Washington Star.

Hayrick dropped over to his neigh bor's to pry into the matter "Praeticin nowadays to be an Indian seout?" he inquired No, siree, :" responded his neighbox emphatically.

Supt. McCabe was down the first OF
the week, and inspected the work done
by the citizens. He was told that the
citizens had done all that they could
and they requested t!.at the road be
accepted in its present condition. Mr..
McCabe stated that the main difficulty
was now in the width OF the right of
way and the forfeiture clause in the
ordinance. Accordingly Mr.. w. G. Goss-
lin, right OF way agent, was telegraphed
for, who came down and appeared be.
Tore the council. AS result today the
matter stands ready for acceptance, eve
rything required having been done. Mr..
Gosslin lett tins morning for Tacoma,
and stated that he would take it up by
wire with the officials in st. Paul, and
thought the matter would be speedily
settled The roadbed is in as good con-
dition as is usually left by contractors,
and the last thing said by Mr.. McCabe
was that if things were as represented
he would probably be back by the first OF
next week. We expect to be able in the
next issue to state that the road has been
formally accepted.

WEBSTER'S SMALL FEES.


The Great Lawyers Income Was Unusual
" Limited Even For His Day.
One Of our correspondents has been so
lucky as to fall in with little leather
covered book, like those of bank deposit
ors. which contains Daniel Webster
autograph record of his legal receipts
This chronicle fills % pages and extends
q little more than from 1888 to 1885 i'll
elusive The first entry, dated Septem-
Der in the former year, is OF $50, and
the second of $50, for retaining on the
New Hampshire circuit. The first fee OF
81, 900 was paid in May, 1884, by Mr..
Badger. Services regarding Cilley's will
commanded $500. The total amount for
tho first year was footed up as $13, 14o,
with the remark, "Sept. 20, 1884, thus
done and concluded.
A similar summing up appears at the
close of each other year. The second
total is SIS, 1874; tho third Is SAL
798 The first entry of $4,000 was IN
1885, March Z; the first Of So, 600 Dec.
7 in the same year. Tho last payment
was In respect to Florida land. The
largest single honorarium was 81, 800.
In February Of the fourth year IS, 600 is
set down as bestowed in case Of Trinity
church, New York.
In turning over this record leading
metropolitan and even provincial law
yers are astonished that Webster, al
though 20 years in Boston, SO under
valued his services. He learned better
Mt last. When Robert G. Winthrop
looked at tho earliest date, he said,
"That's just the time that Twas ending
my studies in Webster's Office" and the
chirography led him to add that Web
ster never wrote firm hand. Nobody
surveyed the relic with more interest
than DIR. o. W. Holmes. Among other
things he said: Had the influx been
tenfold, Webster's purse would have re-
manned empty still. Had its capacity
received like the sea, whatever entered
there would have run of like water

AT OLYMPIA.

After contest lasting all day, the
house Tuesday afternoon passed the
freight and passenger reduction rate bill
by vote OF 81 yeas to s nays. The bill
was loaded down with amendments, and
included finally reduction OF rates OF
nearly all products OF Western as we'll
as Eastern Washington, including perish
able freight such as melons and fruit.
Minis of Chehalis was first to get the
floor. He characterized the bill as a
vicious measure that was pushed by men
who knew the business of other people
better than they did their own. The
amendments, put in regard to west side
products were there to prevent companies
recouping the losses from the east side
God in Israeli he said, "the courts
will not sustain this measure. You've
got a rock loose above; now pry again,
and let it fall on YOU" 0aughter.) The
previous question was ordered and the
bill passed, yeas 81, nays s. An emer-
gcncy clause was also adopted.
Quite long petition has been sent
to the Legislature by railroad employees
protesting against the reduction OF freight
rates that are intended to be of special
service to the farmers OF the Eastern part
OF the State, and thus is presented the
unusual spectacle Of organized labor
fighting representatives of the first form
of labor, the delivers Of the soil.
Both Whatcom and Cheney are in q
good way toward securing appropriations
for their normal school buildings. 1de's
bill for the creation Of fund from bond
ing lands granted for normal school pur-
poses, and appropriating 100000 from
that fund for the Cheney school building,
came up as Il special order. Dorr Of
Whatcom tackled on an amendment for
100000 for the Whatcom school. Dorr
made an excellent address in favor Of
his amendment. Sergeant amended by
making the Whatcom appropriation $40,-
600, which prevailed, and the bill as
amended was passed at Olympia.
