Mckinley on Prosperity.

President Mckinley is reported as
saying: at should be a source of
pleasure to every American citizen to
know that there is return of prosper
ity to the country.
"The cause OF the present boom in
the west is undoubtedly due in a
great measure to the large crops and
high prices caused by the failure of
crops in other countries. But the fact
that prosperity has come in the east
cannot be accounted for in any other
way than by the wise policy of the Re-
publican party in restoring protec-
tive tariff.
"The present boom is not spasmodic.
1t will continue to increase, and not
only the manufacturers but the people
generally will soon realize that it is
only with protective tariff and sound
financial principles that the country
will be prosperous and remain in that
condition.
"With the restoration of confidence
will come a restoration of prosperity"

New Wrinkles in Insurance Law.

The receiver of the State Insurance
Company, of Salem, recently declared
dividend to apply against claims
against the money. A claimant in
this state called upon the state treas
urer, with whom all claims in this
state are filed, for a certificate of his
claim. His application was denied,
the receiver claiming that Washing
ton claims can be paid only from the
sale OF securities on deposit with the
Washington state treasurer. The at
torney general here holds that the ex-
clusion of claimants in this state from
equal participation with other claims
is unwarranted. The law requiring a
deposit with our state treasurer by
foreign companies doing business in
this state is intended for additional
protection against loss in cases of this
kind. The state officers will resist the
receivers Interpretation of the law.
Claims against the State Insurance
Company should be filed with the
state treasurer before October 8. to-
gether with afidavits of their equity
and affirming that the property is
situated in this state.

SILVER has evidently reached bed

For Stealing Timber.

ABERDEEN, Wash. Sept. 1S.-Deputy
United States Marshal Davidson, of
Tacoma, returned last night from the
upper part of the county, Upper
Humptulips, with six prisoners in
charge, for cutting timber on United
States land. The prisoners are Harvey
Gray, Hiram Hulet, Larry Rice, John
Collins, Del Munroe and - Burke.
The four latter claimed to be working
for Gray and Hulet, and supposed that
the business was legitimate, and doubt
less will be let off easy, while an ex-
ample may be made of the two prin-
cipals, who both have bad record in
this section. They were all taken to
Montesano this morning, where they
will have an examination before Com
missioner Sutton, of that place, and
there is no question but that the two
principals at least, will be bound over
under heavy bonds, which thew will
not be able to furnish.
On the way down, Gray caused the
marshal some trouble, but that in
dividual coolly pulled his gun and
gave Gray his choice of going along
peacefully or else being packed down.
tray concluded that he did not want
10 be packed, as the officer evidently
meant business, and walked along
without causing any more trouble.

partment has any record. They were

Go Slow.

"Logs are advancing; fir is now
worth 81 and in Demand" etc.
This is the report sent out by the
Grays Harbor mill men, and we are
glad of it-glad they are advancing
and hope they will continue to ad-
vance until every mill on the harbor
will find it cheaper 10 open up camps
and do their own logging than it will
be to buy.
Heretofore they have been getting
logs from this section of the country
too cheap-what they couldn't steal
outright. they would scale down until
the whole log would disappear, and
the man who cut them, and the man
who furnished the camp would look
about with amazement, just wonder
ing what had become of the d-n
thing anyway, while the mills would
be running night and day, and ship
ping more and more lumber right
along.
In the future it should be a straight
business proposition with every man
that has anything to do with logging.
He should know to whom he is going
to sell his logs, what he is going to get
for them, and what his expenses are
going to be, and that he will certainly
have something left for his time and
trouble before he puts log into the
Water.-Elma Chronicle

The Spells Of Fusion.

While Mason County did pretty we'll
out of the fusion deal in this state,
having two land cruisers and being
represented at the "pen" besides hay
ing the "Citizen" throw up billet at
the insane asylum, some of the coun-
ties received nothing, fer instance,
Snohomish. As a tardy reward for
her splendid fusion majority, the adj
ministration recently offered Snoho-
mish the sop of laundryman at the
Medical Lake Asylum, $50 per month
and "found, "--but Snohomish wouldn't
be "found," and this is what they said !:
"Deav Lister Yours of the Nth
inst. at hand, offering Snohomish
county, on behalf OF the state loard of
audit and control, the important and
lucrative position of laundryman at
Medical Lake.
We regret very much that we can
not accept this position for obvious
reasons, some of which l will state.
There were two counties in the state
thatycast larger majority last fall for
the fusion ticket than did Snohomish,
viz: Spokane and King. We have
nothing at present under this admin
istration, and think we are not entitled
to position of this magnitude. We
think Pierce county should have this
position, and cannot see how she came
to overlook it. And again, this coun-
ty does not allow any Cinnamon to
stop within its borders, and therefore
we do not have any one to recommend,
much as we should desire so to do.

GROW OLD GRACEFULLY
How You May DO So and Continue 10
he "a JOY 10 Your Friends.

Young ladies may be beautiful, but moth
ing is more attractive in this world than a
lovely old lady, with her white hair her
rosy face, wrinkled it may be, but with
eyes beaming with kindness even through
her spectacles. But what can be sadder
than siclIly old lady, who suffers and
feels that she is a burden to those around
her, and whose joy in life has departed! Is
II not sorroWful?
But there H really no need for elderly
ladies to be weak or sickly. They can build
up their health and keep it after 1t is once
secured if they will only adopt the right
means. Many aged people have discovered
way to renew their strength and vitality
when they feel weak and worn out and
others may profit by their experience.
Here is a recent opinion on this import
ant subject:
Mr.. Walter p. Chapman, 90 Hanover ST.,
Baltimore writes: my grandmother who
is past 80 years of age. has been using
Duffy's pure malt whiskey for about three
years and it has acted almost like
charm. 1t has always given her an appe-
ute and prevented any disorder of the
stomach. She could not do without it
In the above and thousands of other
cases Duffy's pure malt whislxey has PROV
ed a godsend to elderly men and women
who lacked health and strength. This is
because ii is a wonderful tonic and nerve
food. Therefore be sure and get Duffy's
pure malt, no matter how much you may
be urged to try something cheaper.

TOMORROW IS GRoUND-HoG DAY.
The Weather For the Rest of the
Month VIII Then ne Known.

Tomorrow win settle the weather for
the rest of February, according to tradi-
ton. Feb is Candlemas day, or, as It
is popularity known, ground-hog day.
Upon the condition of the weather on that
day, so the old saying goes, depends tile
weather for the following forty days If
the day is bright and fair many days Of
bad weather are supposed to follow. The
old legend is:
"If Candlemas day be dry and fair,
The half O. winters to come and mair;
If Candlemas day be wet and foul,
The half O. winters gone at Yule."
On Feb the grounding, who has slept
through the winter, is supposed to wake
up, and take a walk TO find out whether
he may take another nap or whether he
must be up and doing If the weather IS
cloudy or bad. he remains up, bur II he
sees his shadow he scurries back into
his hole for six weeks more sleep.
The United States weather bureau does
not recognize the ground-hog as a com
petitor In the prediction business, ana
gives as an example of his untrustworthi-
ness, some VIGOROUSLY bad forecasts made
on ground-holg day In recent years His
hogship, it Is said. Is losing his grip on
the weather and no longer deserves to
be honored with day."

WEDDING Jewels DTsAPPEARED
A story From Ohio That the Police
Here Know Nothing About.

mere hhOW NOtn1m& ABOUT.
If any gentleman by the name of Will
Jams has ordered a lot of diamonds from
Boston firm and has failed to receive
them, he should write the chief of police
at Cincinnati for information.
The Cincinnati Times-Star of recent
date tells a rather remarkable story of
an old man named Michael Doyle, living
a short distance east of Newport, who
says that a colored man approached him
Tuesday and offered to sell him a lot of
jewelry for SIS. "He at once saw the Jew
elry must be of great value. Diamonds
of various sizes sparkled and glistened
like the brightest stars. Some were cut
and others in the rough. letter the
colored man showed him stated the jew
els were valued at $1,000. The letter was
from jewelers. in Boston and was adj
dressed to man named Williams at Sa-
Vannah, Ga, who was to select from the
jewels those he desired presenting his
daughter as a wedding present. The col
ored man stated he found the package on
the Cincinnati and Ohio road between
Newport and Bellevue, and he did not
appear Mr.. Doyle says, to have the
slightest idea as to their real value. He
is of opinion however, that they were
stolen, owing to the colored mans strange
actions. MIR. Doyle says he feared having
anything to do with the valuablcs, as
he was positive they were genuine. The
colored man, he says, started back to-
ward Newport"
Inquiry was made at the police bar
racks yesterday, but no report had been
made there of any lost diamonds. AS
the diamonds, If any were lost, were lost
en- route to Savannah, a report would
hardly have been made to the police here
anyway, as the party expecting the dia-
monds would have no means of knowing
that they had been lost. IL such n ship
ment has been lost en- route to Savannah,
this information may prove of value.
