5000 Feet Above the Clouds.

Nearly three miles above the sea, and
5000 feet above TIL white, silent clouds
that lie in sweeping plain beneath you,
is something to think about time and
time afterwards, isn't it.
In the summer of 1894, the Passenger
Depar tment of the Northern Pacific Rail
road fitted out an expedition to climb the
highest mountain south of the Canadian
boundry on the North Pacific coast, and
the grandest peak III the United States
Mount Rainier or Tocoma. The party
reached the highest point OF the mountain,
after long and dangerous climb over
rocks and snow and glaciers that were
gashed by crevasses, and returned in SAT-
ETY. This magnificent peak is between
IA, 900 and La, 900 feet high, and indeed
may be found in the future to be over Is,
| 900 feet, or nearly three miles in height.
| In beautifully illustrated boo4, just

about this old mountain that was once

A Verdict for the Plaintiff in the Honahan
Suit

A Verdict for the Plaintiff in the Honahan
Suit.
The jury in the case Of Monahan against
Godkin, in the United States court last
night retul ned a verdict of $2156 and
costs i'll favor OF the plaintiff. The case
is one of extreme Importance to loffging
contractors, as it gives force to the say
ing clauses of all logging contracts
which reads providing the logging sea-
son premits.'' This relates to the cut
ting of logs and hauling them to the RI
yer banks. There il nothing so uncer-
tain as the winters of Northern Wis
consin and Michigan SO that it is i'm
possible to figure closely ON how much
good logging weather can be depended
on. In the Monahan case, Monahan
sued for $500 on a contract, which
Godkin contesred and notwithstanding
the saving clause preferred a counter
claim of nearly $4,000 for damages re-
sllting from the failure of Monahan to
get the logs into the rivers in time for
the spring fresshets. The main claim of
the defendant was that Monahan had
not exercised due diligence and that he
should have employed sufficient force to
fulfil the demands Of the contract. Mon
ahan proved that his force was more
than ample and that had the logging
season permitted" the logs would have
been in the rivers long before the close of
the SEASON.. Had the case been decided
in favor of the defendent it is stated
that there would be radical difference,
in the future, in the executing of logging
| contracts
The case has been closely watched by
lumber operators in this state and Mich
| igan. Godkin is a lumberman of Bay
| City and worth more than 81 ,0OO,0
Sne Case has beeen stubbornly contested
throughout. The suit was for $500,
it was proven that there was some mis-
cake in the accounts, which warranted
the jury in cutting the amount down to
$2156. The costs of the case, which are
also taxed against Godkin, will amount
to more than 81 ,O00.-Evening Wiscon-

defense will assail the regulations of Pawn

appears to make the attack a personal

troubles Captain Lees, and though he ad-
mits that he has not talked with those
witnesses he asserts that none of them will
make such statement.
The defense in the Lamont case will IN
doubtedly be an alibi, and the line of proof
was indicated long ago by Mrs. Durrant.
She was speaking of the then recent identi-
tication of her son by the three Normal
School girls, and remarked: Theodore
did not ride home that day. He walked
across the City, as he frequently does, and
was not near the corner OF Powell and
Clay streets that afternoon at ALL" The
attorneys for Durrant have, however, kept
studiously concealed the names of the wit
nesses by whom this is to be proved.

IMPLICATION Of FORGERY.
Mrs. II. G. WitZemann Says
She Was Not a SignatOry
on a $4,000 Note.
But II. Mailman, Who Loaned the
Consumers Lumber Com
pany, Wants His Cash.

There is note in the sum of SIC, 900
against Mrs. H. G. WitZemann, formerly
a mem Der of the Consumers Lumber Com
pany, which, it is said, she does not want
to pay.
The Discrimination of the lady to pay her
portion of the note in question is so pro-
nounced that she has even gone so far as
to insinuate forgery.
While the lady was member of the
Consumers Lumber Company the neces-
sity arose for acquiring the use of $4,000
for limited period. H. Mailman agreed
to let the company have the money on a
Joint note signed by Mrs. Witzemann, in
connection with J. Jackson and M. Stieger,
all mem bers of the company.
The company received the $4,000, but
Mrs. Witzemann some time ago came to
the conclusion that she did not owe any,
thing on the paper in Mr.. Hallman's pos
session. She brought suit on the ground
that she had never signed such note, but
was demurred out of court.
During the interim from the time the
note was signed and the money raised
thereon by the lumber company and when
she brought her unsuccessful suit, she was
an equal partner in butcher and meat
business with Mr.. Stieger, who was one Of
the obligors on the note. In rendering his
accounts to Mrs. Witzemann he charged
her with third of the interest on said
note.
After Mrs. Witzemann had been de-
INJURED out OF court Mr.. Mailman, who
had loaned the money, brought suit him
self. He was anxious to learn whether
Mrs. Witzemann, in ner anxiety to avoid
payment, would substantiate her implica-
ton of forgery. She said she had not
signed such paper, thereby leaving the
only inference that some one unnamed had
signed for her. Judge Hunt will take up
the case next Monday.
1t is asserted by the defense that after
Jackson and Stieger had signed the note a
third party took it to Mrs. Witzemann, and
when presented to the man who furnished
the S12 900 it bore the signature, genuine
or otherwise, of the lady. When the latter
first brought suit to avoid payment she
asserted that she had not signed a note
for the amount specified.
What Judge Hunt and the attorneys
will endeavor to find out next week is
whether Mrs. Witzemann will be prepared
to establish her inferential charge of
forgery, and, thereafter, who was the
forger. The lady in question is wealthy
and the corporation with which she was
connected had a high standing.

PATRIOTISM IN SCHOOLS,

YOUNGEST CHILDREN ASSIST.
Requirements of the Board and
Skillful Methods Employed

San Francisco is rearing race OF
patriots, and the public schools of the
City are the most potent factor in the
nurture of their love of country.
Little men and women of the proud age
of six and members of the receiving
classes are as ardently, if not as intelli-
gently, patriotic as the seniors of the high
schools. They sing National airs as
Justify and talk about the flag as earnestly
as do their elders in the school course. In
every grade of every school there is evil
dence of pride in American institutions.

The annual business meeting of Emmanuel
Church was held last night. The society is
getting deeper in debt.
The twentieth day of the trial of W. H.
T. Durrant for the murder of Blanche La
mont found public interest in the case I'M
diminished. The usual crowds hung about
the courtroom and the points which the
accused must pass in going to and from
the jail, and every trifiing incident con-
nected even remotely with the crime was
caught up and eagerly discussed.
The latest story concerns button which
Professor E. Hohfield, a music-teacher
residing at 143 Bartlett street, picked up in
front of the Emmanuel Church on the
morning of April Is. He has an idea that
it might have been torn from the clothing
of either Minnie Williams or her murderer
during the commission of the crime. Hob
field gave the button to Officer McGrevy,
since which time it has dropped from
sight. Captain Lees, however, SCOTS at
the idea that the button can have any sig
niicance, and denies having even heard
of it.

upstairs and swallowed the poison.
She was taken to the Receiving Hospital

open her mouth.

The Free Labor Bureaus Branch to
Fill Orders.
Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald states
that he has now better class of
women applying for positions than at any
time since the Free Labor Bureau opened,
many being people who have held good
positions before overtaken by hard times.
1t is his desire to secure for these women
and girls places where their education,
ability and services generally will be APP
preciated. He has met with some diff
Guilty owing to the fact that those desiring
the services of this class OF help are not
disposed to tramp down to 215 Sansome
street and then climb up TWO flights of
stairs to the Labor Bureau.
In order to overcome this obstacle Mr..
Fitzgerald and Deputy Dam took new
departure yesterday. They had long
conversation with the lady managers of
the Women's Exchange at 26 Post street
and made arrangements for the exchange
to receive orders for help. Hereafter those
who desire female help of any kind may
leave their orders at the Women's Ex-
change, and these orders will be forwarded
