The islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1891-1899, 1897-02-25

Washington is on the verge of wiping
out all her saloons and wholesale liquor
houses by adopting q prohibitory law
similar to that governing the sale of
liquors in South Carolina. The dis
pensary act, known as the Cline bill,
passed the house Tuesday by vote of
Al ayes to 80 noes. The proposed law
puts the full control of the liquor traffic
in the hands Of the governor, but elimi-
mates from the South Carolina law the
profit system that brings that state an
enormous revenue. The Washington
bill provides that the governor shall
appoint state commission, which in
turn shall appoint county commission
ers, and they in turn appoint local dis
pensers, all liquor being handled
through the state commission, with a
sufficient profit attached to pay all Of
the expense Of the different boards and
dispensatories. No liquor is sold at re-
tail to be drunk upon the premises,
and minors and drunkards are prohibit
ed, under penalties against state
agents, from receiving it. Liquor is to
be sold only in quantities of not less
than half pint nor more than five GAL
Ions.
The bill passed without amendment,
and its promoters are now confident it
will pass the senate.

beets on which the bounty is paid.
De Mattos' house bill, for the reduc-
tion of jury fees to 81, and mileage to s

Well Match ed.

A few years ago Bill Nye and
Hermann, the magician, met for
the first time in a small Ohio
town. They stopped at the same
hotel, and were given seats at the
same table in the diningroom.
They bowed politely, and began
talking about the weather, each
believing that the other did not
recognize his vis-a.vis. Just as
Nye raised his knife and fork to
cut dish of lettuce salad Herr
mann uttered a cry of protest.
Excuse me, sir" remarked the
wizard, shut l thought 1 saw
something queer there in your
lettuce" The humorist care
fully looked over the salad, leaf
by leaf, but found nothing, and
again raised his knife to cut it.
Again he was stopped by sharp
cry from Hermann, who added
apologetically, 81 beg thousand
pardons, but there is something
there: Excuse me" and he pointed
to large lettuce leaf, raised
it, and disclosed underneath a
magnificent diamond cluster ring
Nye slowly picked up the ring,
and, without the slightest mani
festation of surprise, drawled out:
"This sort of thing has gone just
far enough. I'm continually
shedding diamonds wherever l 60.
Day before yesterday lost a

brainfag to keep track of these
things, and I'm going to give it
up as bad job" Reckoning to a
waitress, he slipped Herrmann's
ring into her hand, and said,
"Here's trifle for you. Keep it
to remember me by; it's yours"
1t took the owner of the ring
about half day to recover it.

Railroad Not Blamed.

The Enterprise journal says that
an investigation was made oil the
crossing at which George Vance, the
Rock Island brakeman, lost his LIE
last week, Wednesday evening. A
regulation concerning the building OF
crossings states that the space be-
tween the planks forming the cross
ing between the rails and the rails
shall be not to exceed about q inches
The crossing in question is on a slight
curve to the north, and cars running
over this have crowded the south rail,
thus allowing the dange on the inside
Of the wheels to grind on the plank
The result is that the distance was
enough to allow yance's shoe to slip
into the creyice thus formed and
hold him there until the car crushed
him. 1t is doubtful If the company
can be held responsible as the viola
ton appears TO be unavoidable.

American Book company offered him
a bribe to vote in their favor" We
have no defense to make for the Amer
lean Book company, but it is as well
to tell it all. A former member OF the
school board wrote to the company
saving "it would take money" to get
its books adopted. The letter was re-
turned to Superintendent Gray with
an inquiry as to whether the writer
"had any influence. Hereplied that
the fellow had none. No "bribe" was
"otfered" in that case, at least.
One company has written tfe board
that the thirty days notice will not be
required, and the contract may be
cancelled at any time. The Others
will doubtless do the same.
What action will be taken by the
board we do not know. II, on inspec-
ton, it decides to use the new books,
believing that in the end it will be
best; if it decides to use part OF them'
or ii, as all the principal cities are
doing, it decides TO retain its old
books for the present year, making
the changes slowly, we are satisfied
that the ten gentlemen on the board
will act for what in their Judgment is
for the city's best interests. We are
satisfied to let them conduct the
boards affairs, and it comes with
mighty bad grace from the News and
Monitor, in view Of the facts, to throw
stones.

Topeka FELL ONCE MORE.
Abilene Gets the Third Game Of
the Series.

Topeka laid down in the dust before
Abilene again Saturday, the latter
winning the closing game.
The Colts lost the game, but not
until after a hard struggle. Stanley
and Reust, the two southpaws, again
opposed each other. Reust won the
game.
The visitors got away in the lead,
by scoring two runs in the first in
ming. The Colts caught up in the
third and from that on to the finish it
was game Of great base ball. True,
the Colts got excruciatingly generous
in the sixth and gave away the run,
which won the game for the visitors.
The climax came in the ninth,
which, Of course was proper, but it
was different kind of climax.
With the Colts one run to the bad
johnson, the first man up struck out.
Kinder did different by lining out a
single Harry Colburn caused the
Colts stock to take another raise by
sending one to Wakefield, which was
too hot for him to handle. Both Kin
dler and Harry were safe at the sec
ond and first stations respectively.
With this turning of affairs every
fan in the stand began roofing for
victory. Kid Brockway stepped up
to the plate. Heidi mighty well and
it wasn't his fault the score wasn't
tied. He hit the prettiest kind Of a
single to left. Had Kinder made thc
attempt he could have scored, but h'
stopped at third.
With the corners occupied, Stanley
went out to Dunn. Jimmy Under
wood was expected to do great things
While the crowd yelled for victor,
Jimmy popped one up to Augusta a
short. 1t was an awful ending fol

season. Ash and Dunn made sta
