Olympia, Wash, Jan. 2O.-Before the
baIloting began in the legislature for
United States senator to succeed Wat
son c. Squire, it was we'll understood

first ballot, which was the case. Sew
enteen candidates were placed in NOM

Little comment was made the
strength shown by Judge George Tur-
ner of Spokane, it appearing that he re-
ceiVed about the vote he expected
On the other hand much speculation
has been INDUCED in at the small vote
of Senator Squire, he only having re-
ceiVed three votes in the house and none
ia the senate. His friends assert that
he received the number intended, and
that his strength lay in the vote given
TO the weaker candidates, and at the
proper time, by cleverly marshaling his
forces. a great surprise will be sprung
The PopElists scattered their votes
among many candidates. A A Denny,

How to deal with David Mosher and
family is one of the greatest problems
confronting the department of justice
of this city. Mrs. Mosher is in the
county jail with q $50 fine hanging over
her head for being drunk and disturb
ing the peace. This leaves six children
to beg or steal a living as best they
can, or else to die in the attempt. The
youngest is but three years old.
Mosher has made application for ad-
mission to the Soldiers Home at Dodge
City and in case it is granted the coun-
ell will probably have to remit his fines
and allow him to go.
1t is said that Mosher himself would
be a comparatively law-abiding citizen
were it not for his wife and the human
wolves who make his house a sort of
rendezvous for their orgies, thereby
getting him into trouble while they
themselves go free.

SHOT A KANSAS MAN.
Reuben Rinker Arrested in Nebraska
Charged With the Offense.

Omaha, Jan. 2O.-A special to the Bee
from Holdrege, Neb.. says. On Dec
ember %, 1885, c. w Gilmore, of
Brakeman, Kan, was shot through the
window of his house about 1870 in the
evening. The shot took effect in the
face and the doctor took out IS shot
and some were buried so deep that they
could not be extracted.
In spite of his severe wounds he will
probably get well. Saturday Reuben
Rinker. of Bertrand, Neb.. was arrested
by Sheriff knudsen, charged with the
crime. He was placed in Jail, pending
the arrival of the sheriff of RaWlins
county, Kansas, with requisition pa
pers.
He demanded q hearing under the
and was taken before NJ. A. Garrett,
county judge, today for his preliminary
hearing. The evidence developed the
fact that Rinlzer was seen on the morn
ing of December 21. going on horseback
from Bertrand to Oxford and the 1iV
eryman in Oxford identified him as
having come to his barn the night of
December p and leaving a horse. He
had gun case in his hand He was
also identified by the employees of the
B. & NJ. who run from Orleans, Neb.,
to Brakeman, Kan, as being a pasSen-
ger on their train December p, 1856.
The man who did the shooting was
tracked from Brakeman, Kan, to the
residence of c. W. Gilmore, three miles
from town, by his tracks in the mud.
but the tracks were lost shortly after
the shooting and while the man was
making his way from the residence of
Gilmore. The liVeryman at Oxford fur

WOULD RETURN PURIFIED
The Princess de ChImay Proposed to
Spend Five Years in a Convent

Charleroi, Jan 20.-In the Chimay di-
vorce case today the princes counsel
read letters written by the princess to
her husband in which she offered to go
into a Carmelite convent for five years,
from whence, the princess added. she
would return purified to the domestic
hearth.
The prince replied, from Paris. say
ing he was going to Chimay and that
he did not want to see her counsel
Counsel continued that on the following
day the princess, accompanied by Rigo,
supped at the Ambassadors cafe Chan
tan with a man and woman and the
princess made a scene with the woman,
whom she accused of an attempt to
steal her lover.
For the sake of the children, counsel
then said, the prince hoped the court
would not require proof by witnesses, AS
TO the notoriety of the scandal and at
titude of the princess since the begin
ming Of the suit proved the principal
charge, viz: Her flight with Rigo.
In conclusion, counsel recalled that as
early as August 10, 1895, the Gil Bias of
Paris, spoke of the -'Vagaries of a prin-
cess in Paris in an article clearly des-
ign2ting the Princess de Chimay
Maitre Allan, for the defense, did not
deny the principal fact, but contended
that all the necessary evidence was
false OF greatly exaggerated. Proceed
ing, counsel endeGvored to clear the
princess of the reproach that she was
a bad mother, asserting that if it was
necessary to seek the causes for the &C.
centric love with which she wrecked
honor, they could be found in the
weakness of her husband, whom she
loved and still loves.
Counsel, continuing. asked the court
not to be influenced by the '.atrocious
accusation that the princess had aban-
doned her children without regret"
Princess Chimay'S counsel pointed out
that the princess case was confined to
existing circumstances and recalled
that the princess in order to cape
from the pleadingS of her husband, sent
him a formal note through her doctor
that all communication between them
must cease.
And today counsel added, "she has
dared to reproach her husband with
having abandoned her"
Counsel for the prince also said: IAN
of you would laugh if the court re-
Quired testimony in this case
The decision will be rendered in a
fortnight, but according to general
opinion it is believed that the court will
grant an absolute divorce without re-
curing any testimony.

STOPPED THE PREACHING.
Ceiling and Plaster of an Independ-
ence Church Falls on Worshipers.

Service at the Presbyterian church
last Sabbath morning was brought to
very rude and sudden termination,
says the independence Reporter.
Rev. B. C. McQuesten, OF Iumbolt,
was just in the middle of an interesting
sermon when the plastering from the
ceiling over the rear chandelier, from
a space six or eight feet long and three
or four feet wide broke loose and fell
with a crash occasioning great confu-
sion and alarm. The fall is about 20
feet but no one was seriously hurt. Mrs.
Judge Chandler, her father, Mr.. Oar
ling, Harry Balloon and Mrs. J. G..
Freeman perhaps received the heaviest
blows. MIR. Balloon had quite q. cash
cut over his eye and the others were
somewhat bruised but not seriously
hurt. No further services were held.
