land case in which Harry Cox is de-
PENDANT, and the former received a
light slap. He secured a warrant for
Willey's arrest, but on his refusing to
put up bond for costs in case of dis
missa1, no trial was had. Agreat many
cases of trivial nature came UP and the
county is put to considerable expense.
Last year it cost the county S243 for
criminal prosecutions in the justice
court, and we do not recollect single
commitment. The JOURNAL has
found considerable complaint at the
officers for considering the more trioial
complaints in the past, although we
recognize that all citizens should be
protected from personal assaults.

A bee tree was cut above Geo. Short
er's place last Sunday and about a
hundred pounds of honey was saved.
Nick Campbell and c. S. Dunbar both
claimed the tree by right of discovery,
but the find was divided. The bees
were Italians and many swarms are
located about the woods, most of them
having escaped from the farmers.
The domestic bees have not done any
thing this year, and some OF the
swarms are even short in the winter
supply in the brood frames. The late
season has had this effect. and there
are also too many bees in this vicinity.
About half of them should be killed
off next year and not allowed to go
into the woods to interfere with the
domestic bees.

State Auditor John E. Frost, his
father who is visiting the Sound couu-
try, and several other friends, arrived
last Saturday bound for the Skokomist
river. They returned Wednesday and

and our Sheriff looked after the visitors
while in town. Auditor Frost pays our
Sheriff the compliment of being the
fairest official with which he has to
deal, on account of transporting bust
ness to Wa11a Wa11a. In one instance
a down Sound Sheriff presented an ex-
pense bill of over 500 for such service,
while Sheriff Caldwell got through
with his man for less than $40. Sheriff
Caldwell is all right.

Judge Mason Irwin was in town this
week holding the regular September
term of court and disposing of consid-
cradle business. In response to an al
most UNANIMOUS sentiment for, his con-
tinuance on the bench Of Mason and
Chehalis counties the Judge has been
renominated and will probably haye
no opponent in the race, as our popu-
list and democratic friends ali agree
that the Judiciary should be removed
as far as possible from politics.
Judge Irwin has been an honest and
impartial judge and decides in way he
believes to be right. In 1892 Judge
Irwin received twice the vote Of the
populist candidate. T. D. Schofield, in

W. H. Kneeland, president, for the
Bryan club, challenges the local Nc
Kinley club, to discuss the issues
weekly during the campaign. The
Mckinley club will consider the mat
ter but the JOURNAL would advise the
club to have nothing to do jointly with
Mr.. Kneeland and his club unless the
Mckinley club can discover in its
ranks few interruptions speakers, who
are not willing to stick to the truth.
The members of the club are in favor
OF accepting the challenge, however,
believing the best of the argument to
be on their side and will have occa-
sional meetings during the campaign.

been too quiet. An office still has a
