Died On her Wedding Day.

A special to the Post Intelligencer,
from Snohepish says: Andrew
Braaten and Miss Clara Gillespie, of
Monroe, Snohomish county, started
Saturday to drive to Everett to be
married. They stopped at a wayside
watering trough and Braaten took the
bit from the horses mouth to allow it
to drink easier. While he was out of
the buggy hog rushed out into the
road and frightened the horse, which
plunged to one side, throwing the girl
out. Braaten picked her up uncon-
scious and carried her to the house of
Senator Davis. A doc tor was sum
moned and remained all day with the
unconscious girl, but the conclusion
was too much and She died this even
ing. Braaten begged them piteously
to save his bride, and when the day
which was to have been his wedding
day ended in death he was broken
down with grief.

Ludlow Mill to Start.

1t is positively announced by Cap
tain John B. Libby, manager of the
Tugboat company, that June Is will
see in operation again after years of
inactivity, the extensive sawmill at
Port Ludlow. For some time past a
force of machinists, carpenters and
laborers to the number of 40 hands,
has been employed on the plant to
it in shape again. The foundations
and buildings have been put into
good condition as has also such of old
machinery as could be successfully
operated in conjunction with the latest
improvements for turning out lumber
that have been added. -:
The encouraging feature in this
news to the general public is that the
mill, when in full blast, will require
services of $50 hands, and more when
night shifts are necessary.

That Constitutional amendment.

10 THE EDITOR.-It appears to be
the prevailing opinion that the pro-
posed amendment to the Constitution
voted on last fall providing for intelli-
gent suffrage was defeated. That i'm
preston is wrong. The powers that be
may count it out but that does not
change the reality. It is only weak
subterfuge to defea other amendments
proposed. Under such an interpreta-
tlon'it would be scarcely possible to
amend the constitution. Then where
is the woman suffrage amendment?
The proposition had large major
ity of those voting thereon. Upon the
Legislature and Governor rests the
chief responsibility for amendments.
Ii they pass each house separately, by
two-thirds vote and are approved by
the Governor and then submitted to
the people for approval and majority
OF those voting thereon are in favor of
the proposition it has been legally
adopted, (See Constitution art. 23),
and the Governor is bound by his Of
fetal oath to issue his proclamation
declaring the amendment adopted and
in effect.
Some assume that it requires a ma
jority of all the voters in the state,
whether they vote or not. If such
was the intention of the law what
would be the sense of providing for a
negative vote at all? 1t is privilege
and duty to vote but if a man neg
lects or refuses to exercise his right to
vote there is no rule of law or COM
mon sense to count it.
If the Governor refuses to issue the
proclamation he has violated his Of
fetal oath and is liable to impeach-
ment. I. w. w.

To Grow Big Oysters.

An experiment is about to be made
near Olympia which will be watched
with much interest. 1t is the intro
duction and attempt to propagate
Eastern oysters at Gull harbor, about
five miles down the bay. A four-foot
dam will be built at the mouth of the
harbor, and this will keep about fifteen
acres continually covered with water.
One hundred bushels have been sent
out from New York, which will arrive
in about two weeks and will be at once
planted at Gull harbor.
George Martin Savage has charge of
the experiment, and he has succeeded
IN getting interested in the enterprise
Eastern capitalists who are willing to
expend considerable money. The ex-
pertinent will be carefully conducted,
and If successful will add largely to the
new resources of this ction.

DR.. w. Fl. G. TEMPLE, the well
known Seattle preacher, is said to be
the master of a wonderful memory,
being able to commitan hours grafton
at a single reading. Hortensius the
great Roman lawyer and orator had a
memory of extraordinary scope and
tenacity. After composing a speech
or grafton he could repeat it word. by
word exactly as he had prepared it.
On one occasion he went to an auction
where the business was carried on
during an entire day, and at evening.
for wager, he wrote down list of
the articles that had been sold and
the prices, to gether with the names
of the purchasers, in the order in
which the purchases had been made.

AN governmental sbinnnnt oF .

AN experimental shipment Of car
load of selected fir deck planIling is
about to be made by the B. B. I. Co.
mill for European ship building firm
This first car goes across the contin-
ent where the planking is shipped on
one of the Atlantic steamers to des-
tination making trip of some 5000
miles. The freight from here to New
York more than equals the original
cost Of the planking at the mill, but
the time saved to the builder will
make the shipment profitable one
and if the planklng is satisfactory in
every way it is promised that further
orders will follow. Much of the tim
Der taken by the Sutlej is supposed to
be for deck planking when the manu-
facture is completed in England and
this last order to go by rail indicates
that Douglas fir is the popular mater
ial for this class of work. --Whatcom

Humming Birds at Sea On Steamer

E. F. Drake of Seattle came up from
San Francisco Saturday, (the 18th
inst on the steamer City Puebla and
tells an interesting story of the steam
er being visited by numerous hum
ming birds while off the Oregon coast.
The south-bound steamer from Seattle
on the same line, was similarly visited,
and the San Francisco papers had a
good deal to say concerning the re-
markable incident. The supposition
is that the birds were swept off the
coast by heavy winds and being driven
to sea, sought refuge on passing steam
ships.
"On Thursday, the 18TH" said Drake
III was out on deck and fellow shout
ed to me: Great Scott! did you see
that man catch a humming bird in
his moutha I thought it was some
kind o. a sell and went into the cabin.
l came out few minutes later and
seeing him again, remarked: well,
my friend, how's the humming bird
business? He didn't say anything,
but pointed about him. Nearly all
passengers were out and the. little
humming birds were everywhere. They
must have been starving, for they
would light on anything red, neckties
OF that color being particularly attrac-
tive to them. The passen ers wrapped
red handkerchiefs about their necks
and caught them that way, One bird
In moment lit on my cravat and
then evidently noting my red lips,
poked his bill in. l pressed my lips
down, holding him until 1 could put
my hand over the little fellow and
capture him. I afterward caught
several that way, as did all the other
passengers. Seattle Times.

A GOOD bit of congratulation can be
found for American glass makers in
the recent heavy purchase made by
w. T. Fuller & Co., of San Francisco.
This purchase also indicates that there
will be some building on this coast or
there would not be such demand for
glass. w. P. Fuller & Co. operate
branches at Los Angeles CAL. Port
land Ore, Seattle Washington, and
are IN touch with the conditions from
one end of the coast to the other.
Heretofore they have always bought
their glass in foreign markets. This
year they have bought at home. Their
order was $50 cars of glass, or about
lOO,OOO boxes. They were allowed to
ship LIS cars at one time. The value
OF the stock would be approximately
$25O,WJO, and would have made, if inn
ported, about five cargoes.-Lumber-

Wheat Crop in Fine Shape.

A Seattle business man who has
just returned from trip through East
ern Washington, brings pleasing
story of the outlook. He says:
"In the, vicinity OF Ritzville the
prospects for a good yield of grain this
year are brighter than ever before.
The squirrels even, which are general
ly numerous, awaiting the arrival OF
the-young wheat, are. very scarce. In
travelling a mile or more in the sage
brush one will see very few. Several
farmers are trying new drug to in
oculate them with, which contains a
contagious disease, which the animal
will take by eating the least particle.
Some report success, while others do
not. Nearly all the wheat that has
been sown this spring is now up and
in thriving condition. Never before
in the history of the country has the
grass made such rapid growth as in
the past two weeks. 400
"In Whitman County, although the
spring is late, the weather. has been SO
warm that vegetation is almost equal
to this time last year, and farm work
is being pushed with a vigor that
promises to soon have the entire till
able acreage in grain. In marked con-
trast with the cold, damp weather OF
last spring is the bright, warm sunshine
of the past week and it is believed that
with the advantage of good growing
weather crops will soon be as far adj
vanced as at the same time last year,
Notwithstanding the extreme lateness
of the season when spring work be-
gan.
"Never' in the. history of the Palouse
country has there been such a rush to
get the grain into the ground, and il
everything continues favorable there
will be not only the largest acreage,
but it is believed by many the largest
yield per acre this famous country has
ever produced. Should this prove true
an era Of unusual prosperity is before
the Pa1Onse country.

STRAUB was executed at Friday Har-

Lanterman. The other seven who
were under death sentence have either
had their sentences committed or been

Mortgage Foreclosures.

Judge Hadley, of the superior court
of New Whatcom, has decided that
the new law giving possession of mort
gagged premises to the owner of proper
ty or mortgagor during the period of
redemption, as against the purchaser
taking possession on foreclosure sale,
is unconstitutional and void as to
mortgages executed prior to the en-
actment of said law. He based his
decision on the case of Barnitz VS.

supreme court held a similar provision
included in the redemption law of
Kansas void as to antecedent con-

The new Spanish minister, Woodford,
has been assured that the Queen of
Spain will receive him at her summer
palace, St. Sebastian, This will insure
his presenting his compliments and
the important message tEat he bears
to Spain from the president of the Uni
ted States Immediately, without
waiting for the return of the court to
Madrid in the fall This unusual
readiness to accept the new American
minister to Spain may or may not
mean that a stronger tendency to con-
ciliate the United States now exists
than usual, but it does mean that the
two nations will all the sooner learn
what the policy of this government
toward Cuba is likely to be. If there
is any truth in the forecasts that are
made of the intructions that Woodford
bears, then Spain must change her pol
icy toward Cuba in her treatment of
the non-combatants or the United
States will change front toward Spain.
There seems to be a general impression
that the end is coming and that it will
be something or nothing and that pref
ty quick. This will be the best posi-
BILE thing under the circumstances.

There will be no let up in the at
tempt of the free silver, free trade, free
Democratic papers to make capital
out of the manner in which the tariff
measure was hustled through. The
Republican party saw that the coun-
try was losing large sums daily
through the conspiracy of the Demo-
cratic party to rob the treasury of the
tariff it would receive as soon as the
Dingley bill passed Congress and be-
came law, and they shut down on the
sharp game as soon as it was possible.
1t is little astonishing that it is the
sugar refineries and the trust that is
fighting the schedules of the bill as it
passed the conferees, If it is true as the
Democrats state that the changes all
favor the trusts themselves. Wait
until the returns are in aid watch the
workings of the bill and then talk.

country on the globe. and that no ordin-
airy mortal can stand the climate two
years, the 20 degrees below zero in the
winter being not so hard on the con-
stitution as the moist sticky summer
months. DR.. Everett says that the

est finds of gold are yet to be unearth-
ed. The territory in which good
gold is found he puts at 500 miles.

The Pine Bluff, Ark, Commercial,
which is an out and out free silver
journal, is not of the number that
reads McKinley's administration down
as a failure. The Commercial is of
the opinion that if the rest of McKin-
ley's term compares favorably with
the months already elapsed he will go
down to history as one of the most
popular of the presidents. The re-
view extends to his personal acts,
his family relations, his patriotism,
his sincerity, his lack ot ostentation
and all else which causes him to differ
from the Stuffed prophet of Pinrce-
ton" This is hardly expected from
a free silver Arkansaw editor, but it
goes.
