Scott jackson, who has been on trial
for several weeks for the brutal murder
and horrible mutilafiOn Of the body of
Pearl Bryan, his victim, has been found
guilty and sentenced TO be hanged.
While the crime Of which no was accus.
ed was awful in ite sensational features,
the kentucky court before whom the
caee was tried permitted no unseemly
delays, and the jury was not long in
doing its duty. While there is no quee-
ton Hs to the guilt of jackson, it was
Just possible that the ingenuity Of coun.
sc. and the loopholes of the law might
have clouded the testimony of witnesses
and the minds OF jurors to such an OK
tent as to cause a doubt. He was given
a fair trial, was ably defended, and the
result is what was expected. 1t ie a rea-
sonably swift and proper vindication of
law and justice. The trial of Walling,
his fellow murderer, will soon take
place, and it is to be hoped that the
same punishment will be melted out to
him. Though neither of them has ad.
mitted his guilt, their w statements
have been tho strongest witnesses
against them. The fate they will meet
is deserved, and the world will be the
better for their taking of.

change will be welcomed, not only by
the preachers, but by the congregations.

in p~olitics-though the civil service mon

A Warning to Policy Holders!

l wish to call the attention of my
patrons to a few mistakes they make.
First They do not read their poll
cies as they ought to to find out the
conditions CT same and what they are
required to do.
Second-If myself have made a
mistake in wording the policy.
Third-There are great many who
forget that when they mortgage their
property which is insured fail to noti-
fly their agent and thereby make their
policy null and void. il
FOURTH is impossible for me to
keep track of all such changes and ]
insert this little notice in the paper to
give the holder of policies a warning
for their own benefit, as I have lately
run across a few policies which have
been neglected in this way and in case
Of fire would have been useless where
the parties thought they we're insured
all the time. In case of a loss it
would be very disagreeable for me as
I do not want your good money for

not cost you a cent only a few minutes
time to call at my Office and have the
matter fixed up.

Expert Postal Clerks.

Postmaster Case and the entire Ta-
coma postotfice force are justly proud,
of the spendid record made at the ex-
animation several days ago of Mall
ing Clerks Frank Trubshaw, v. d.
Tomlinson and FL. Smith by Chief
Clerk j. III, Richardson, of the rail-
way mail service. The examination
was held hero, its object being to as
certain the rapidity with which the
clerks named could dispatch the work
allotted to them. These three clerks
made up the outgoing mail from Ta-
coma for dispatch to all points in this
state and outside states as we'll. This
examination consisted of the distribu-
tion of 792 small cards, each repre-.
senting a postoffice In the state OF
Washington. These cards were dis
tributed into 1SO pigeon holes, each
pigeon hole or separation repre-.
senting a postal route in this state,
Messrs. Trubshaw and Tomlinson per-
formed the almost remarkable feat of
throwing the 1872 cards, absolutely corr
rectly, and that in very quick time.
Mr.. Smith made just one mistake.
Mr.. Trubshaw and Mr.. Tomlinson each
received a percentage of 100. Mr..
Smith received a percentage of 99.s7.
Mr.. Trubshaw made the entire distri-
button in exactly twenty minutes, Mr..
Tomlinson in 20a minutes, Mr.. Smith,
one error excepted, in 20 minutes.
4 The three clerks have made the best
record yet made in the eighth postal
division, comprising the states west
of the Rocky mountains, for the dis
tribution of Washington state post
! offices. The best previous record in
this division for these offices was the
scoring Of 100 percent in 22t minutes,
this record being beaten q minutes by
Mr.. Trubshaw. IT Tacoma Ledger.

enough to nominate. There are
