This makes him about ITO years of age.
He was good old Indian. He has lived

His old kloochman survives him. He

The state land commissioners are about
to make an order requiring all counties of
the state to furnish plats and field notes
regarding county roads and their relative
positions on the state lands. The board
had determined not to issue contracts for
the tide and shore lands lying adjacent
to streets and county roads, and the in
formation required of counties is neces-
sary for an intelligent enforcement Of this
order. This decision is OF importance to
Chehalis county, as it practically decides
in favor Of the county and against parties
who want to sell the county lands on
which the Westport and Oyehut docks
are built

OLYMPIC CLUB OUT
 FOR INFRINGEMENT
PROFESSORS WATSON AND BEH-
 LOW RETIRED.
Rumors Afoat That the Changes. Are Only the Opening Wedge for Big Revolt Among
 Members.

Members of the Olympic Club will be greatly surprised to learn that Professor walter Watson, who has, during the past thirteen years, taught the art of boxing to such clever opponents as Corbett and Green, and Professor Hugo Behlew, the popular teacher in gymnastics, have been asked for their resignations.
 This move on the part of the board of managers is said to be for purposes of retrenchment, but many are of the opin- lon that when it tries to retrench by dis charging two of it's best teachers it will prove costly in the end.
 Their resienations do not go into effect until the latter part of this month but already prominent business and profess slonal men are appealing to the board in the hope that the professors will be kept Tn their present positions.
 While the prominent members are work ing, the less prominent are murmurine III dlSapprobatton of the course being pur- sued by the managers. It is the younger sinew of the organization and they feel that the managers have not consulted their wishes when they discharge such good men. They have trained under the watchful eyes of both, been taught the rudiments of self-defense and turning and having prof1ted by such teachings are very much opposed to their being let out As yet the murmuring of discontent is mid, but when the day comes for leave taking 1t is thought that it will give way 10 unSt1nted criticisms.

PREFERRED TO BE HANGED.
Convict H. W. Daggett Did Not Want
 a Life Sentence

H. W. Daggett. who on April 1 last took Rachel Costley a girl 13 years of age, from this city to Stockton on the pre- tense that he had secured her position, and assaulted her on the way, was found guilty by a jury in Judge Cooks court yesterday. After the verdict of the jury had been read, Daggett, through his at- lorney, waived tune, and was sentenced to forty years in Folsom Prison.
 Prior to passing sentence, Judge Cook remarked that the minimum sentence the law permitted for the crime of which Daggett was convicted was twenty-five years, and as the case of the prisoner at bar appeared from the evidence to be a particularly brutal one he was not dis posed to be as lenient as the law.
 Here the prisoner asked permission to say a few words, and the request was granted The trembling convict rose from his seat and, addressing the court, said: Your Honor. if you intend to sen tence me to prison for life I would prefer that you pass the death sentence on me. l would rather be hanged than spend my last days in prison." Here he faltered, and then sat down. Judge Cook then sentenced him to forty years iii Folsom Prison. As the convict is now past 30 years of age. it is not likely that he will escape the fate he so dreads, as forty

Western Union Connects Seattle With Victoria, B. C., by Cable and
 Overland Lines

The Western Union Telegraph Company has made some extensive and important additions to it's Northwestern service, and has connected Seattle with Victoria, B. C.. via Port Townsend and Port Angeles in Washington, by means of overland lines and a submarine cable crossing Puget Sound. The cables have all been laid and offices have been opened at the places mentioned
 The cable, which Is of the single armoI type, with three conductors, crosses the Sound from Seattle, across Elliott Bay to West Seattle and from thence to Port Blakely. Several land lines have been established on the intermediate islands. The cable across the Sound is eight miles in length and the overland line then runs along the shore from Port Blakely to Port Townsend, connecting at Port Madl- son, Port Gamble, Port Ludlow and Hao- lock. The distance from Seattle to Port Townsend by this line is fifty-seven miles The line, still running overland runs along forty-seven miles to Port Angeles at which point another cable has been laid a distance of sixteen and a half miles across the Straits of Juan de Fuca to Albert Head. on Vancouver Island. From that point there are thirteen miles of land line to Victoria City, thus mak- ing the extension in all nearly 134 miles in length, which has cost over $6O 900 to build. The importance of the improve ment can be readily seen, as 1t gives d. rect telegraphic communication with the British possessions, and the results will be invaluable.

Raw Sore From Finger to Palm. Physicians and Medicines No
 Avail. Cured by Cuticura.

When my little boy was two years of ago, dry spots commenced to appear on different parts of his body. Last winter it seemed to go to his hands, and I was obliged to keep his first three fingers done up all the time, as 1t was raw sore, beginning to extend down to- ward the palm of the hand. We consulted three different physicians, each certain length of time, to see benefit of their medicines. think now, after using CUTICURA, that some of the salves that used did more injury than good. A gentleman (who sat next to me in church) asked me the matter with my boys hand. took off one of the cloths and showed him, he told me he had been in a hospital in Boston, where for all skin diseases they used CUTICURA REMEDIES. l immediately pur- chased CUTICURA SOAP, CUTICURA (oint- ment) and CUTIoURA REsoLvENT, put aside what had been using, and began with them. Well they cured that hand. was afraid that this winter it would break out again, but no, it is all cured, and have not had to have cloth on it this winter. Mrs. DIAMOND,

PRESIDENT JORDAN AND
 THE NEW CHARTER
XASMIN HOUSE, Stanford University.

I believe that the chief Cause of the failure of mu- nicipaI government in the United States lies in the conversion of the public service into patronage to be distributed among per- SOnal favorites and parti- san workers. The pro- posed charter of San Fran cisco perpetuateS this con- ditiOn of the distribution of patronage by individuals and cIiques. It therefore offers mighty little prom ise of reform, either in ef- fectiveneSs or in economy.

LincOln'S Modest Request.

Just at this hour when our army
is overrun by the incompetent sons OF
prominent men with "pull," the fol-
lowing letter from Abraham Lincoln
to General Grant may seem striking
and quite out of the ordinary. Presi-
dent Mckinley should observe it we'll !:
Executive Mansion, Washington,
Jan. Is, 1895. - Lieutenant General
Grant: Please read and answer this
letter as though were not President,
but only friend. My son now in his
22d year, having graduated at Harvard,
wishes to see something of the war be-
fore it ends. l do not wish to put him
in the ranks, nor yet to give him a
commission, to which those who have
already served long are better qualified
to hold. Could he, without en-
barrassment to you or detriment to
service, so into your military family
with some nominal rank, /, and not
the public, furnishing his necessary
means. If not, say so without least
hesitation, because l am as anxious
and as deeply interested that you shall
not be encumbered as you are your
self. Yours Truly,
A. LINCOLN.

THE SPANISH VIEW.

II is we'll to consider the view Of
their country's aspirations and atti-
tude that is held by Spaniards of a
high class. Such an one is Don Juan
Valera. He is an aged man, past 73,
eminent as statesman and author.
He is withdrawn from public activi-
ties, and speaks with the calmness
that comes of Intellectual power, ex-
perience and age. What he says is
entitled to respectful hearing. He has
been known as man of liberal views,
a pioneer in freedom OF thought and
spiritual progress. He has been a
close student. He is erudite.
He holds that the establishment of
fair and stable government in Cuba
was in the way of accomplishment
when the war began, through the
combined action of military measures
and the autonomic regime. II Spain
be driven out, neither the autonomists
nor the revolutionists will be satisfied
with the control of the other. If the
United States take the island, what
becomes of the disinterestedness and
humanitarian motive in making the
war? And would both the autono-
mists and insurgents submit? AS to
the claim that the Americans are act
ing as instruments of divine justice.
charged to punish Spain for her mis-
deeds in expressing Cuba and in ex-
terminating aborigines at various
times in her history, he points out
that the American Indians have been
almost exterminated and those who
are left have derived few advantages
from Anglo-American civilization.
As to the reproach of the Inquisition,
he says it would indeed be terrible
and ineffaceabIe stain upon the Span
ish name, if the fires of religious per-
secution had been kindled only in
Spain or had burned most fiercely

/" The Mouth"

A boy was compelled by his teacher
to write an essay on I" the mouth" for
some infraction of the school dis
cipline, and this is what he said:
Your mouth is the front door of your
face; it is the aperture to the cold
storage of your anatomy. Some
mouths look like peaches and cream,
some look like q hole in brick wall
to admit new door or window. The
mouth is hot-bed for toothache and
the bunghole for oratOry. The mouth
is the crimson aisle OF our liver; it is
patriotism's fountain and @ tool chest
for pie. Without mouth the
politician would be wanderer on
the face of the earth and go down
in an unhonored grave. 1t is
the grocer's friend, the orators pride
and the dentists hope. 1t puts some
men on the rostrum and some in Jail
1t is temptations lunch counter when
attached to a maiden, and tobacco's
friend when attached to man. With
out it married life would be like sum-
mer dream and dude would lose half
his attraction.
