Personals.

Mrs. Lizzie Williams has moved to
Seattle, where her husband is employ
ed on a street car line.
C. S. Poole, Seattle salesman, has
taken Miss Libby's place behind the
dry goods counter at the L. M.
M aster Ernest Wheeler returned
home Wednesday after several months
with his sisters in Tacoma and attend
ing school.
Bernard Caldwell, son of Sheriff
Samuel Caldwell, left last week for
Pennsylvania, after spending several
months on the Sound.
Sam. Schumacher was visiting the
Gray's Harbor towns last week and
reports the mills all in operation and a
general air of prosperity in that sec
ton.
Miss Jean Carstairs was in town
Monday for dental work, her mother,
Mrs. David Carstairs, accompanying
her for the trip, and to visit her town
friends.
Miss Rose K1eeb returned to her
visit to friends in town. Mrs. H. J.
Wehnes accompanied her on the ex-
cursion to Tacoma.
Mrs. o. E. Stanhope went to Seattle
yesterday morning to spend few
days with Orlin, as the Shelton party
expects to be delayed in getting off for
Alaska until next Monday.
Henry Parish and his mother left
yesterday morning for Shell Lake,
Wisconsin, where they expect to make
their future home. His wife and ba-
by will remain with her parents for
the present.
Bro. McDougal1, of the Vidette, who
came over with the Montesano boys tc
play ball last Sunday, made the
JOURNAL a friendly call. The visitors
were favorably impressed with their
first view of Shelton
Arthur Needham left this week on a
trip down Sound, and says he may go
to Dyea and take the trip over the
Summit to the lakes with the Shelton
boys just by way of exercise. We inn
agine he will hardly get that far.
Allen Weir has started for Port
Townsend, where he will be joined by
DR.. Charles E. Parent, of Portland,
Rev. w. A. Major and w. E. Hum
phrey, and these. with a packer and
guide, will go to the Olympics for a
three weeks prospecting trip.
John D. Riley is arranging his bust
ness affairs for long visit to Colorado,
intending to go into the dry noun
tain regions and spend the winter.
He expects to get away Saturday
morning. Close application to bust
ness during the past three years, has
undermined his health to such an ex-
tent that change of climate is neces-
sary. California was not wholly sat-
isfactory, but we trust that Color ado
climate will prove more beneficial.
Miss Lizzie Miller, who was one of
the Christian Endeavor excursionists
to the coast, spent several days visit
ing at Cal. Saeger's last week. Her
home is in Mulberry, indiana, and she
is related to Mr.. Saeger and Watson
Rodenberger. For the past eight
years she has been teaching in the
public schools of Chicago, and was
anxious to return in time to continue
her work. After teaching four more
years she will be placed on the retired
list and will be entitled to receive a
pension of $40 per month during her
lifetime. This pension feature is re-
ward for good services which is offer
ed by New York city and also num-
Der of the Eastern states, and it is
good one.

MOntesanO VS. Shelton.

The MontesanO baseball team arriv-
ed overland Saturday evening to play
a match game with the Shelton nine.
AT O'Clock Sunday the game began
on the Shelton prairie grounds. Owing
to the fact that Shelton's crack pitch
er, Walter Woods, had left for Iowa
on short notice Saturday, the local
team was not playing in good form,
nor did the visitors do a great deal
better, although they kept in the lead,
and won the game by score of Is to
IA. The lack of pitcher in practice
was a serious handicap, and evidently
put the boys in bad spirits, marring
what promised to be a close and inter-
esting game. There were numerous
errors on both sides which accounted
for the large score. The Montesano
boys spent the rest of the day abou
town and left for home Monday morn
ing, claiming pleasant trip.
They are DESTROYS of having a re-
turn game, during the tournament in
Montesano in September, when two
match games are arranged for, $50 be-
ing the prize for each. This being
the first defeat the Shelton players are
talking of getting an outfit and start
ing to play ball in earnest. Sunday,
August 18th, the Olympia Club in
tends coming down for satisfaction.
Following is the score by innings:

The fusion between the Populists and
tue silver Democrats seems likely to
suffer an abrupt termination when the
national convention of the Populist
party meets in Memphis next month
Tom Watson. who, with his middle-of-
the-road followers, seem likely to con
tro! the convention, in a recent issue Of
his paper denouoees the sem-Gat silver
dollar proposition and says: 1--WE
genuine PoUs contend that fatism which
is good for 40 cents is good for 100
cents If the principle of fatism is
sound it is sound all the way. 1t can
not be just sound enough to make up the

make 40 cents out Of nothing it can
make 100 cents out Of the same

One task TO which the Department Of

With that Of the State Department and
the reciprocity feature of the Mckinley
law, the foreign markets for American
meats were greatly improved. The re-
peal Of the Mckinley law and its reci-
proeity features closed these markets

Sixteen weeks is very short time for
the completion Of great reforms in
national matters But President Nc
Einley and bis administration have il
that time more nearly accomplished the
reforms promised in their platform than
any previous administration ever did in
double the time The chief pledges Of
the platform we're protective tariff, in
ternational bimetallism if this could be
had, the auues alton of Hawaii, reform
Of the currency, and better state Of af-
fairs in Cuba The protective tariff
pledge is now so nearly carried out that
there is good reason to believe that the
bill will be upon the statute books early
il July; currency commission which
shall devise plans for the reform of the
currency system is to be recommended
to Congress, and the proposition will
doubtless meet with favor il that body;
commission has been sent abroad to
negotiate for international bimetallism;
an annexation treaty with Hawaii has
been signed; the doors of Cuban prisons
opened to citizens of the United States
who we're imprisoned, and other reforms
in Cuban matters are about ready for
definite consideration aud action.

The Democratic managers always
raise hue and cry against the color
cd men for voting the Republican ticket.
Why should they not vote the Republi-
can ticketl Are they not indebted to
the Republican party for all the civil
rights they enjoy2 lf the Democrats
were liberal and held out sincerely to
the eolorcd citizens some subs .antial rea-
son why they should change their politi-
cal allegiance, possibly tho colored voters
might change their views somewhat in
political matters. Bu; they have no
use for the eolored man further than to
subserve their selfish ends, which is evil
deneed II very forcible manner by
the speeches made BY large number of
speakers at a Democratic gathering held
in Baltimore during the week Capt.
=. X. Ward said 1--WE have always
been called the white mans party. We
never wanted the negroes elevated to
citizenship Now they come to us. If
he Democrats cannot win without the
negro, we don't want to win"
Mr. NJ. N. Packard said; THAT the
1900 negro voters in the city have
been menace for years and would be
a menace for years tc come"
Mr.. S. Trautman said. no was op-
posed to the members Of the club pro-
claiming themselves in favor of getting
the negro vote. No man is more willing
thaD | am to grant the negro race, or
any oppressed race, every opportunity
to raise themselves, but this is an mop
perfume time for the Democratic party
to invite them into its ranks"
Captain Ward said; 1.-THE moment
you put the negro in the party, you will
lose your Southern trade.

Present indications are that the pend
ing tariff bill will contain practically the
House rates on wool, su gar, rice and
other agricultural products when its
goes to the President for his signature
The Republicans in the Senate have
agreed to put the rates on first and second
class wool back to within one cent of those
of the House bill, and it is probable that
conference committe will fully restore
the House rates both on wool and sugar
and that ne bill will become law with
in the early days of July.
