'LEDGER'S LEGERDEMAIN
Desperate Partisan Efforts TO DiScredit
the State Administration.
MANUFACTURED POLITICAL CAPITAL
II. J. Sniveiy Intervie wed-Nothtng
In the Alleged Irregularities at the
Penitentiary-The Appointm cnt Of
W. A. Cox TO Medical Lake.

Sundays Ledger has a startling scare
head limiting at grave Irregularities in
the penitentiary management A HER
AID reporter desiring to learn the truth
of the statements in the two column
| flash lines OF the Ledger and which
"roared 80 loud and thundered IN the
index" sought Mr.. Snively. on his re.
turn Monday from Olympia, for an inter.
view. Warden Catron holds out &c..
Co.," the Ledger charged, but Mr.. Snive.
ly smiled knowingly and said: "There
is nothing in all this buncomb the oppos
ition press is limiting at the state admin.
istration. 1t is going right ahead saving
the peoples money a thousand or more
dollars q day and not worrying bit
about partisan clamor. The warden of
the penitentiary acted according to law
full orders in paying out the 100000 for
the jute mill and the return Of $40 900 on
the investment 10 good thing for the
state, besides great relief to the grain
farmers in enabling them to purchase
their grain sacks for five or six cents
instead OF paying eight or nine cents for
them. So far as the alleged drunkenness
is concerned a guard named Bailey got
drunk and resisted other guards who
wanted to take him home. He WAS sus.
pended by the warden for this miscon-
duct and the Board of Audit and Control
removed him.
There is no inharmony in the board
W. A. Cox was proposed by myself for
the place of accountant OF Medical Lake
asylum. He received the vote of tour of
the FIVE members of the board, one OF
the members having a friend for the
place and was naturally very much in
earnest to get him the appointment. The
position pays 81, 900 per year and found"
"How about the state commission
moving their headquarters to Tacoma ?"
THAT is true. We will move our
office to Tacoma very shortly"
"Why is this move made?"
"Well, Olympia does not deserve to
have the capital or anything else the
fusion party has to give, because of the
churlish manner of some OF its leading
citizens toward the state officials Many
ladies belonging to the administration
circles have been hurt by the ostracism
practiced there towards them. Even the
governors family has been insulted and
OF course it is human nature to rebel
against such treatment. No, You can
say, the state administration is all right
and economy is the watchword all
around. Each head of the department is
vigilant in saving the peoples money"

school hoard PrOceedings.

The school board met in regular SEES.
sion last Friday, with Directors Hill and
Smelling and Clerk Bailey, Director Sin
clair being absent.
The clerk called attention to the fact
that parents who are paying tuition for
non resident pupils are Directing strongly

these pupils draw. He also submitted
the following correspondence
NORTH YAKIMA, Oct. 9th. 1897
Mr.. +. II. Plumb, county superintendent
of schools of Yakima county:
DEAR SIR: The question has been
raised whether it is my duty, or whether
the school directors OF district No. 7 have
authority to collect tuition under the non
resident rule, from female students be.
tween the ages of Is and q years who
are earning their own living and who
claim this district as their residence, even
though the home Of their parents be else
where. Will you please give me an Of.
fetal opinion in the premises.
Yours Truly,
Chas. +. Bailey,
Clerk district No. 7.
NORTH YAKIMA, Oct. 7, 1897.
Chas. F. Bailey, clerk OF school district
No. 7.
DEAR SIR: have your favor of the
9Th inst, asking whether the directors Of
school district No. have the authority
to collect tuition from female students
between the ages OF IS and q years who
are earning their own living and claiming
this district as their residence, ever
though their parents home be elsewhere
In reply will say that sec. 14l6 OF vol
l, Hills Code, provides that female
sttsins her majority at the age of Is anc
is, therefore, thereafter competent to es
tablish her residence wherever she ma
choose.
II, then, the parties in question CLAIM
this district an their residence and de
clare their intention Of making this thei
home they become actual residents OF tn
J district.

instruction for all resident pupils.
1t is my opinion that the class Of pupils
referred to above are resident pupils with.
in the meaning Of the law are, therefore,
exempt from tuition.
Yours Truly,
F. H. Plumb.
The board instructed the clerk to col.
lect tuition from such pupils, notwith-
standing the above opinion.
The following bills were allowed and
ordered paid from the special fund: John
Sawbridge, two steel furnaces for Colum-
bia building, $2S5 90; Yakima Dray Co.,
lumber and carriage, $297; Yakima
Dray Co., SO, 400 pounds coal at 1875 per
ton, s72; A. 8. johnson 4 Co., sundries,
$5.55; G. H. Bruen, repairs, $l.25.
The large increase in attendance made
it necessary to elect an additional teach.
err and Mrs. J. II. Needham has been
chosen to fill such place. She occupies
a room in the central building and
teaches part Of the first grade and all of
the second. Prof. st. John has rear
ranged his work 80 as to make the sddi.
ton OF this one teacher give relief to the
congested places all through the different
grades.

TWO MEN HOLD UP A TRAIN.
THEY BLOW OPEN EXPRESS CAR
SAFES WITH DYNAMITE.

The Express Car Fired by the Expl"-
sion and Burned With Its Con-
tcnts-The scene OF the Robbery
Two Miles From ROseburg, O~e-
gon-Thc Train Brought to a stop
by Man with "a Flag and He and
One other Man Do the Work.
San Francisco, Cal, Jan. 29.-Train No.
Is, a north-bound express on the South
ern Pacific, was held up this morning at
Shady Point. two miles south of Rose
burg, Ore, by two or three men. The
express car was detached from the train
by the robbers and the door blown open
with dynamite. Two small safes in the
car were blown open and looted
The express car then took fire. The
conductor and trainmen worked nard to
save the car after the robbers had gone,
but the car and it's contents were de-
stroyed.
The train was on time at Shady Point,
where Engineer Morris saw man at the
side of the track waving flag. He slowed
up for the signal and as he came to a
step man armed with two revolvers
came over the back of the tender and COW
cred him. At the same time another
armed man, the one who had tagged the
train, appeared at the side of the CAP.
and, pointing a revolver, ordered the en-
gineer not to attempt to move the train,
but to come down at once and go with
them to the express car. The fireman,
meantime, had got down on the other
side.
The two robbers and the engineer then
went to the express car, where the out
open the door. This he refused to do.
The robbers then uncoupled the express
car returned to the engine and backed
the train, leaving the express car sepa-
rated. Meantime the express messenger
had seized the opportunity to leave his
car. After breaking the train in two the
robbers returned to the express car, and
with heavy charges of dynamite blew
the door open. Entering the car they at
tackled two small safes, which they sue
ceeded in entering. The messenger
thought the robbers did not understand
getting into the big safe, and consequent
ly they would not have secured much
money The mail car was also visited by
the robbers and registered letters taken.
The explosions set fire to the express
car, and when the robbers left, it was a
mass of flames. The train crew worked
like Trojans. but were unable to save it.
The car and its contents were almost to-
tally destroyed by the fire.
The passengers were considerably
shaken up and frightened, but no one

PETITIONS IN FAVOR OF PEACE.
The senate Urged TO Ratify the Ar
bitratiOn Treaty.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Sherman,
chairman of the committee on foreign re-
lations, has received a petition from the
British Arbitration Society of London,
which that organization asks him to lay
before the Senate. The petition is sim
liar to many that have been received from
American societies, and urges the ratifica-
tion of the proposed general treaty of ar
bitration as the first step between the two
greatest nations of the earth towards uni
versal peace.
Unfortunately for the British associa-
ton, it was ignorant of the provisions of
the United States constitution, when it
addressed it's petition either to congress,
or any individual member thereof. The
receipt of petitions or memorials by con-
gress from aliens is prohibited unless the
same come through the state department.
Senator Sherman cannot, therefore, pre-
sent this petition to the Senate. He will
lay il before the committee at the special
meeting tomorrow where it will. Mr..
Sherman says, receive all due consdera-
ton. He declines to make its text pub
lie, or discuss the petition in general
terms, even.
A petition, elaborately printed on
parchment, was signed by an even hum
dred of the leading citizens of Philadel-
phia was presented to the Senate this
morning 1t urges the Senate to ratify the
treaty of arbitration now pending between
this country and Great Britain. The me-
mortal is signed by Mayor Warwick, the
judges>of the various courts, ex-senator
Edmunds Cformerly of VermonD. and
bankers and capitalists representing
money valued away up in the millions.
The memorialsts state that they repre-
sent the sentiment of the community when
they urge the prompt ratification of the
treaty for the arbitration of all questions
that cannot be settled by the ordinary
process of diplomacy. 1t is denied in the
memorial that the treaty would expose
us to any disadvantage in connection with
the various questions calling for settle
ment in the near future, because the
treaty is only tentative and limited in it's
scope
