JUDGE GEORGE F. TURNER
Chosen by the Washington LegisIa.
ture for United States Senator.

OLYMPIA (Wash), Jan. 29.-George
F. Turner of Spokane, who last night
received the caucus nomination for
United States Senator was to-day elect
ed in joint session of the Legislature,
receiving sixty-eight votes, eleven more
than necessary to elect.
Judge Turner said: While l have
been a Republican in the past, l am now
a member of the Peoples party, and as
long as l live / never expect to cast an
other Republican ballot. as long as God
helps me. 1 am not prepared to surren-
der my old convictions in relation to the
measure prepared under auspices which
allow of the raising of $4,000 900 to use
in Presidential campaign"
A sensation is likely to follow the
election of United States Senator.
Charges of gross corruption are made,
and a committee appointed for the pur
pose of Investigating the matter has
summoned all the Turner and Squire
followers. 1t is said that at to-night's
meeting of the committee witnesses tes-
titled that money had been used for the
purpose of corrupting legislators. AS
semblymen Tobiassen and Conine
Popuilsts) say that they will testify
that they were approached by one of
the candidates and offered money for
their votes. A number of Squire men
attempted to leave the city this even
ing, but were prevented by subpenas
from the Investigating Committee.

A DESPERATE KILLED.
Shot by the Chief of the Fire Depart
ment at Bakersfield.

BAKERSFIELD, Jan. 29.-Ed. Will
lows shot and killed the notorious Percy
Douglas shortly after I o'clock this ev-
ening. The shooting took place at Will
lows room over the Athletic building on
X street.
Douglas had been on a spree for three
weeks past, and during this time dis
played an unusually ugly temper, ter
rorizing with gun plays" every one he
imagined he had spite against. Some
time ago he threatened Willows life be-
cause Willows assisted in jailing him
some time ago, and he threatened the
lives of several officers.
Douglas was in the Palm Garden Sa-
loon, block from where the killing oc-

posed. walked directly to Willows room.
on arriving there he knocked at the
door and called for Willows, who answer
ed him by advising him to go away, say
ing he did not want to have trouble.
Douglas proceeded to kick the door in.
AS soon as he had forced it open he re-
CeiVed a charge of buckShot from
saWed-off shotgun in Willows hands.
The charge took effect in the neighbor-
hood Of the heart. Douglas staggered
back several feet along the hall and fell
forward on his face, dying instantly.
Douglas tragic end Occasioned no sur
prise. For years it has been prOphesied
that he would die with his boots on"
off and on since the early eighties he has
beeen a terror to this community. In
1856 he deliberately killed a Mexican on
Nineteenth street For this he served two
years in San Quentin. Shortly after
leaving prison he shot a brakeman in
Fresno County, and for this he got
eight years in Folsom. After serving
three years of the term he was pardoned
by Governor Markham. For a while
afterWard he was quite peaceful,
then resumed his desperate career.
When sober he acted as a gentleman.
He was a miner by occupation, but of
late conducted the City Brewery.

An Insane Man Shoots and Kills His
Wife, Who Lay Ill in Bed.
Then Puts Bullet Through His Own
Head, With Fatal Results.
Powder Ignites the Bed Clothing, and
Newborn Babe and Eight Other
Children Whom the Murderer Had
Locked Up in a Room Narrowly
Escape Cremation.

SALT LAKE, Jan. 29.-BarthOlomew
Race Of Goshen, this State, to-day shot
and killed his wife, and then put bull
let through his own head, with fatal re-
suits.
Mrs. Race was sick in bed, having only
tWenty-four hours before given birth to
a child. When the nurse temporarily
left the house Race told his wife he was
going TO kill himself and that as he
did not want to leave her he had made
up his mind to kill her also. The chill
dren say their mother pleaded plteouSly
for her life, but their father put pistol
to her head and blew out her brains,
and then turned the weapon upon his
own temple. The powder ignited the
bed clothes and the newborn baby and
the eight other children who We're lock-
ed in the room were narrowly saved
from cremation by the neighbOrs.
Race was crazy. He rose early this
morning and began making prepara-
tions for his bloody work, cleaned up his
revolver and carefully loaded it, and
then invented a story to get the nurse
out Of the house while he committed
the deed. When she was gone he lock-
years, except the baby, in an adjoining
room, so as to prevent their interfering
with his purpose. Mrs. Race talked and
eXpostulated with him, and then begged
piteously for her life, while her children
listened in the next room, but the tiend
was obdurate She attempted to get
out of bed, but in her weak condition
could not do SO, and it was then that
her husband seized her and shot, and
she sank on the bed with her babe still
on her arms
Attracted by the shooting, the neigh
bOrs burst open the door, and found both
dead the blood and brains slowly OOz-
ing from the bullet holes in their heads.
The fire was rapidly spreading, and
but for the timely liberation of the chill
dren, whose cries We're most heart rend-
ing the whole family would have been
burned up alive.
Race has twice before attempted sui
eide, once by taking strychnine and once
by shooting. His previous attempt to
shoot himself was on December Both
last, when he placed a pistol to his tenn
pie and fired but the bullet glanced and
plowed its way along the bone just un-
der the flesh, coming out between the
eyes. After that he was put under re-
straint, but a few days ago was con-
sidered sufficiently recovered to be al
lowed his liberty, and the authorities
turned him loose.
Race has been a resident Of Gashen
for many years, and his wife is well

FREE-COINAGE QUESTION.
EDGERTON TAKES ISSUE WITH
WASHBURNE.
The POpulist National Secretary Says
the Peoples Party Should Not
Abandon the Issue.

LINCOLN (Neb), Jan. 29.-J. A
Edgerton of Lincoln, Secretary of the
Populist National Committee, this
afternoon gave out the text of a letter
to George f. Washburn of Massachu
setts. Mr.. Washburn in a statement
some weeks ago advised PopulSts to
make the silver question but a minor
question in the party propa ganda. Sec
retary EdgertOn takes issue with him.
and insists that it should be first. He
says in part:
The Peoples party has always con-
tended for the free coinage of silver
1t should not abandon this issue simply
because another party has taken 1t up,
but should rather support it more zeal
ously. 1t should welcome the assist
ance, and should vie with the newcom-
ers as to who shall give the free coin
age issue the most united support
The Peoples party was the first to
raise the free silver standard. Must it
abandon that standard simply because
another has come to its support? No
Every right does not cease to be RIG hit
because it gains new adherents. And to
say that we will not advocate a righc
principle simply because another party
promises to share the credit for carry
ing it to success seems to me 10 be
playing the boy. That is too narrow
and selfish a course for the Peoples
party.
You ask me. then, What is 10 be
the distinctive mission of the Peoples
party?' This: To push the fight. as
in the past, on adj it's principles, only
with more vigor than ever before; for
free silver; for a supplemental issue Of
paper money direct by the Government;
for the Government ownership of rail-
roads and telegraphs; for direct legis-
lation. Let the work of education pro-
ceed on all of these, abandoning nothing,
changing no issue, but standing firmly
upon the platform made at Omaha and
renewed a st. Louis.
ITO sum up. I agree with you shat
the fight should be pushed but not that
the issue should be changed And in
place Of abandoning one plank anl talk
ing the two which you propose, I would
hold fast to all three; and in line with
the admirable suggestion of Wharton
Barker in the Philadelphia American.
| would carry on the work of educa ton
for: First-The free and unlimited
coinage of silver at 16 to /; second,
supplemental issue of paper money di-
rect by the General Government; third
Government ownership of railroads and
telegraphs."

X Rays and Diamonds.

One excellent use to which the new X
rays can be put should interest women.
1t seems that by their aid one can
readily determine whether diamonds are
real or false. for the rays pass through
real diamonds, leaving them trans
parent, and not at all through false
ones. A real parure when photographed
would show only the mounting but in
false one all the stones would turn
out black. Strangely enough, the X
rays will not penetrate glass: eye
glasses if photographed come out black.
This proved useful in the case of a
Viennese glass-worker who got a bit of
glass into his finger. By the aid of the
rays it was discovered extracted and
the workman cured.-St James Ga

Grape on the door and no flowers placed
