lord, Mr.. Smith-and there seems to
be no excuse for his failure to pay any
of the creditors who have held him up
till the harvest time came.
Tuesday Smith assigned his lease to
Mr.. Macdonald, late Private Secretary
to Ex-Governor McGraw. As the
lease has but another month to run
with very little prospect of loss from
relapse of business, the assignment
created suspicion among his creditors
and he was met at the boat Tuesday
by Constable Wentz armed with q
warrant for his arrest as an cab
sounding debtor" At the hearing
before Justice Atkins he was dis.
charged, as no case was made out
against him. He left with his family
on the evening train.
Suits were began against him by J.
c. Horr, Hiestand, Warner & Co., C.
H. Aver and j. C. Rathbun, and they
are now diligently searching for some
thing to levy upon.

The Omaha Gem mittee.

The committee of Omaha business
men, making an extended tour to for
ward the interests Of the TRANSMITS

last Friday night, and were met at the
Port Townsend Southern depot by a
committee of citizens, who escorted
them to the hotel, and they afterwards
attended joint session of the Legisla.

Gov. Daniels presided and Gov. Rogers
sat beside him on the Speakers stand.
Speeches were made by the visitors,
John ID. Webster, Clement Chase, G.
w. Hitchcock, and J. w. Wattles, who
showed the advantages which would
accrue from making an exhibit of our
States resources at the big show. No
appropriation for the general exhibit

Mrs. Serrette o. Freeman. E

Mrs. Serrette o. Freeman, of Ia.
coma, was awarded verdict for $4,000
damages for herself and children by
the U. S. Court of that city, last week,
for the running down of her husband
by Northern Pacific train while he
was driving team across the track.
An emery wheel running at speed
OF about 1890 revolutions minute
exploded in the Dayton Foundry Com
pany's workshop recently. Although
there were four men and two boys in
the shop at the time of the explosion,
none of them were hit by the flying
pieces. A small piece of the wheel
knocked out portion of one window
sash, and for a moment the air was
full of emery wheel. 1t is remarkable
that no one was hit.
Two daughters of DIR. Herman, of
Westport, Chehalis county, have
homesteads in the North river coun-
try which they first settled ON four
years ago, and in spite of the many
difficulties and Inconvenience which
have many times confronted them,
they have faithfully "held down"
their claims. In order to reach their
claims they have to walk 20 miles from
Montesano, over trail. The hard
ships these young ladies have endured
during the four years are more than
many men could stand, and show that
the girls of Westport are not lacking
in pluck.

A Smallpox scare.

A small smallpox scare existed a
few days this week from the appear
ance of Jap with the signs which
nature hangs out when the dread
disease becomes contagious. 1t was
reported that he came in on the
Steamer Aberdeen, but it afterward
became known that he landed at Port
land direct from his native land and
proceeded to Tacoma. He found his
way by some means to the Insane
Hospital, where he remained over
night and then walked to this place.
To the prompt measures taken by DIR.
Newell, the Health Officer, our people
have no doubt escaped the danger of
infection. The Jap was at once iso-
lated from the community, and quar-
antine regulations were adopted to
keep the inmates of the house where
he had stopped over night confined to
their domicile the period during which
the seeds of the disease, if any were
left with them, might be spread. The
doctor thinks that the danger is over,
but that the case was one of true
smallpox, there is no doubt.

Albany, May 4.-State Comptroller
Roberts in, his search for revolutionary
papers which have been hidden for a
century in the state house, has come
across some ancient documents which
are the Oldest he has yet found and
which are pertinently interesting at
this time, insomuch as they relate to
excise accounts received by the state.
then a colony of Great Britain, between
the years 40 and 1858. The excise
returns for a year dating from 1710 for
the entire colony amounted to 1892 6s.,
less than 50, coo, which is insignificant
when compared with 100000 returns
on the trafficling in liquors in 1895
Another old document dating back TO
us is a report showing the duty paid
into the state treasury on negro slaves.
An interesting paper found at the
same time is an account for the serv-
ices of Philip Livingston as a delegate
in congress from III to- ITS. a total
of 1913 working days at "a shillings a
day, the aggregate being 1896 lbs.
Still another paper shows that the
remains of General Montgomery, who
fell in the attack on Quebec in the
French and Indian war in 1887, is
buried in st. Paufs churcllyard il New
York City, and accompanying this is
