hAMILCHE, Wash. May. 3, 1897.
Last Saturday evening after lodge
the New Kamilche Odd Fellows, their
wives and friends who were present
were treated to fine lunch by one of
the worthiest of the brothers. Mr.. B.
Jacobson. A very pleasant evening
was spent and all felt that the chain
of Friendship" had been strengthen

er and that our Hope" was brighter
for New Kamilche Lodge of. O. o. F.
than ever before. May our worthy
Brother live long and prosper. o. F.
A good sized wreck is reported as
having happened on the P. S. & G. H.
Railroad on Monday. A heavy log
ging train struck cow in a cut, knock
ed her up the bank and the carcass
rolled down under the loaded cars, pill
ing up about fifteen. So far as learn
ed no one was badly injured, although
all the trainmen were shaken up and
the conductor received injuries to on e
of his knees. The track was soon
cleared and the trains now running as
usual.
When fevers and other epidemics are
around, safety lies in fortifying the
system with Ayers Sarsaparilla. A
person having thin and impure blood,
is in the most favorable condition to
''catch" whatever disease may be float
| ing in the air. Be wise in time.
Rev. R. G. Pettibone, pastor of the
Hoquia1n Presbyterian church, was
thrown from his bicycle, while ridin e
over a small bridge in that vicinity
one day last week, and was seriously
injured. He has been semi-consciou S
since, and has small chances for life.
NowIs THE TIME to purify.your blood,
and Hoods Sarsapari1la is the best
medicine for the purpose. Thousands
of great cures prove that It is the One
True Blood Purifier.
The old suit of Alex Mcleod az ainst
J. c. Horr, for recovery of damages
for breach of contract, while Mcleod
was logging on the old Satsop Rail
road several years ago, was tried again
at Olympia last week and Mcleod got
Judgment for $1,000, although he asked
for SO, 200. Last year the jury dis
agreed after hanging over the case
for two dogs.
Hoods Pills are the favorable family
cathartic and liver medicine. Price

Under the new school law all voters,
male or female, desiring to vote at
school elections must previously reg
lister the same as for any other cleo
ton. This applies to cities and towns
and voting precincts in which the reg
istration of voters is by law proyiCed
for. Shelton's precincts are the only
ones in Mason County in which regis
tration is required, and the ladies need
to get in and register at the town
clerks Office, if theyndesire to vote at
the school election next month.

As the new law provides that each district
shall be credited with at least 1000 days attend
ance and as the average county districts attend
ahce is not on the average over 800 days. we see
that the smaller districts are largely benefited
by the new mode of apportionment, while dis
tricts having school population of $40 viii
not be benefited unless they have an attendance
OF at least 300 days. Districts having less than
D pupils attending school are the only ones
that are especially benefited through the change
in this mode of apportionment.
Three districts mos. 1, IL, 22) have reached a
higher figure than the minimum limits of 200
days.
This apportionment is based on the report of
the school years ending June 80, 1896.

The last instal1ment of the Shelton
School Library books have arrived,
making about $50 in all but they are
not doing much good just now. and
should be placed in the charge of some
person who could loan them out on
the usual library system. The library
is splendid addition to the school,
and was secured mainly through the
efforts of Prof. Collins and the teach
ers in giving public entertainments.
Under the new school law the date
for the annual election is changed
from the second Monday in June to
the second Saturday in June. AT the
annual election there shall be submit
ted to the qualified electors of each

ing free text books and supplies for
the use of all pupils attending the
common schools of the district, and for
the levy of a tax sufficient to meet the
expenses thereof. The vote must be
taken by ballot.

DEATH FOR RIVERA.
Spain Determined to Execute the
Unfortunate Successor Of
Gen. MaCeO.

Washington, D. c., June 1S.-A te!e-
gram from Senior Palma Of the Cuban
Junta at New York received by Secretary
Quesada of the provisional legation,
reads:
Prosecuting attorney has asked for death
sentence on Rus Rivera and Bacallao.
Steps were taken Immediately to pre-
vent if possible the summary execution of
such q sentence. Senator Morgan and
others were seen and arrangements were
made to have influential. senator's call up
on Secretary Sherman to urge him to re-
quest interference by the Madrid govern
ment, and direct appeal will be made
to the President. 1t is expected that
Minister Taylor viii be instructed to OBJ
tain from the Madrid government assur-
ance that the lives of the two iHsurgent
leaders will be spared.
Other dispatches from Senior Palma
convey the impression that he is con
WINGED that only prompt, heroic efforts can
save the lives of the imprisoned Cuban
leaders.
The fact that Spanish Minister De
LONE has authoritatively denied within a
week that it was the intention to execute
Rivera and Bacallao increases the indig-
nation felt by those friendly to Cuba 5
cause. The feeling is that the prisoners
may be shot before anything can be done
for them through diplomatic channels.
