soon as he was in the cart, the colt
began to rear and jump, throwing
him out. Steve hung on to the

was preparing to 90 for a walk, and
had been curling her hair. She
went INFO the kitchen for some pur-
pose, and on her return found the
parlor was in flames. The alarm
was given, and the boys turned out
and did their best, but the fire
having such a start and the reser-
voir SO near on a level with the
house, there was but little force to
the water, consequently the house
was burned to the ground, but the
fire was prevented from spreading.
Insurance amounting to $500 was
held on the house, but none on
contents, which $1,000 cannot re-
place. 1t is a common occurrence
for spectators to shout and cheer
during a fire, so that the boys
cannot hear what the chiefs orders

works.
1t is an easy matter to under
stand what is hurting the editor of
the Roslyn News. He has been
filling his paper full of "boiler plate
as there was no paper competing
him in giving the local news. Last
week he had more locals than he
has had in his sheet for an age.
The people of Roslyn are tired OF
picking up local paper and find
ing no news in it, and they have
not been seeing any until the arrival
of THE DAWN. Everybody is anX-
ious to see it, in order to get the
home news, as well as from other
parts OF the county. We wonder
if we were to petition Gov. Rogers
to allow our honored editor a little
more time to look after the inter
ests of his paper, whether he would
do it or not. He spent about four
DAYS on it last week, and we think
if we were to pray to our esteemed
governor he might allow him the
rest OF the week, so that he can
keep his sheet from going TO the
dogs. and contain news instead Of
"boiler plate"

esty and delicacy falls from childish in
nocence in the heart of the best city on
earth there is in every case a cause
These causes work, in many cases, so
quietly that no mother can afford to be
Indifferent, believing it to be out of the
question for her girl to fall into sin a
number of cases have come under my
notice of even school children following
practices of vice until the practice and
result could no longer be concealed
The mothers of these children were at
ease waiting until their daughters were
old enough to warn against such evils.
There are cases even in Topeka-
that dare not be brought to light
most fearful things OF Wn1ch the over
confident parents never dream!
Some children are addicted to vice.
1t is their inheritance But wise teach
ers and friends and pure associations
can help them to overcome. Very many
young people fall into vice in the most
natural way possible. To illustrate: A
little miss of Il has girls usual dis
taste for homework. She wants to
romp and visit. Her mother scolds,
grows fault-finding and impatient. The
girls proud spirit reSents this. She
goes to chums with the condolences
and for the sympathy she used to seek
from her mother. Thus imperceptibly
a gulf is fixed between mother and
daughter. These associations are Pc
rilous. Before many weeks the young
daughter may be seen with these asso-
ciates participating in a low dance-in
some obscure corner of townsville her
night with some friend. Once in these
low dances, a girl is over the verge. In
a few days-remOrse comes in all its
bitterness. 1t is the last straw thrown
to the sinking child. but too often she
tells herself, It's too late now. My life
is ruined and there's no use to at
tempt to do right now. Here is the
place that many abandon all virtue and
sink to the depths of a life of shame.
When arrested for her lawless deeds
the officers get the benefit of all the
boldness and profanity and desperate
! idfocy to which she has been schooling
her weak, girlish heart for months.
However. they know from experience
that few days of detention and kind
ness will bring out the better hearth
it be there.
Many and many precious girls have
owned to me that she met her moral
death in the ballroom. Many a wretch
ed woman in Jail tells me of this, and
that young girl who is attending these
dances and begs me to save them if
possible Their parents don't know

Regarding her duties as police
matron in dealing with vice and
crime Mrs Thorpe has this to

THE GREAT QUESTION.
Secretary Gage Says the Currency
Question Overshadows All Others.

Tacoma, Wash. Jan. 27.-At the ban
quet of the Chamber of Commerce, held
last evening, kilograms were read from
President Mckinley. Secretary Gage and
others. Secretary Gage said in part:
Il regret that the pressure of public
business prevents me from discussing the
question of reforming the currency. Not
since the struggle for the resumption of
specie payment has a question pressed for
a solution which has a greater bearing
upon the material prosperity of our peo-
pie
You have an empire in the Pacific
northwest which is in its infancy. Your
city and sister ports of Puget sound are
the outlets of one of the richest regions
in the world. Geographically, the COM
merce of the Orient is your.
Nothing will contribute more to draw
capital to your section of the country than
the conviction that the money standard is
safs beyond impairment.

templates the better security of that
standard

KNOCKS OUT TAX DEEDS.
Important Ruling in a Case by Judge
McEIroY Of the Court of Appeals.

Owners of tax deeds in Kansas are
much alarmed because of a decision
recently rendered in the northern de-
partment court of appeals. If this de-
cision should be sustained by the SUI
preme court upon a review of the case
a large majority of the tax deeds now
on record in this state will be invalida-
ted.
The decision was made on account Of
the peculiar verbiage of the statute
and the court holds that where tax
sales have been made and the printers
fees and the redemption fee have been
deed is invalidated
The statute provides, in a number of
places, for the payment of the neces-
sary fees but in the latter part of the
law the words interest charged in
stead of interest and charges" appear
and upon this the court based its de-
cision.
The opinion was written by Judge s.
w. McEIroy.
The decision was great surprise to
the lawyers and is one of the important
SUBJECTS of conversation among those
attending the meeting of the bar associ-
alton. Many of them who have cases
of this character pending are preparing
deed by showing in court that printers
made a part of the expense of the sale
The court decision leaves nothing on
which the printer may hang a hope of
reward for publication notices, except
through the kindness of the attorneys
or mortgage companies interested in
the sale. The publication fees will
come as a donation.

AFRAID OF "a HOT TIME -
It Was With Fear and TrembIingThat
Mr.. Mcdowell Sang the Parody
Last NIGHT.

1.-THE audience didn't know it, because
I had my war paint on. but all the same
| was as pale as a ghost when 1 went on
the stage to sing the Hot Time parody
said Mr.. John G. Mcdowell the principal
comedian in "A Breezy Time company
at the Crawford theater last night. Just
before I went on one of the fellows told
me about Stuart's experience here with
1882 and although I have a much better
parody on Better Than Cold and had
two or three minutes to prepare before
going on, 1 was so shaken up that for
the life of me I couldn't think of the
words. OF course I had to go on then
and sing the Hot Time parody. but I'll
tell you my heart was in my throat when
I started. 1 was all right when I found
that it was going well, although someone
started to hiss once or twice.
Il can hardly see how Stuart had the
nerve to stand up and sing when they
were kissing him down as I've understood
they did. 1t is the most embarrassing
thing in the world for an actor to be made
aware that the audience don't want what
he's giving them, and if 1 had been Stu
art would simply have given it up and
walked down to the leader and asked him
to play something else

Police Matron Thorpe has some de-
cided views on the subject of the caus-
es of young girls downfall. She claims
that the bathrooms are responsible for
nine-tenths of the unfortunate women.
She does not make this statement on
any theory, but on actual experience in
dealing with hundreds of unfortunate
girls and women in the past five years
during her service as police matron.
Hundreds of requests come to her ev-
cry month from mothers who have
hayward da 1ghters and wish them re-
called from their foolish ways Mrs.
Thorpe says concerning this point:
"Imost certainly believe that the ball
room is a most fruitful cause of many

Received at Washingto

Washington, Jan. 27.-President Dole
of Hawaii has arrived, and in behalf
of the government was welcomed by
Secretary Sherman and Assistant Sec
rotary Adee.
The presidential party was belated by
storms along the way and it was three
hours after the schedule time that the
train swung into the b & 0. depot. A
crowd of several hundred had assem-
bled on North Capitol street and three
pIatoons of mounted policemen were on
hand to act as an escort.
As the train came to a stop, Mr. Sher-
man and Mr.. Adee stepped on the rear
platform and were met by Assistant
Secretary Cridler who conducted them
inside for the first greetings to Presi-
dent and Mrs. Dole and their party.
There was a brief and informal ex
change and then the party filed out
to the waiting carriages. AS they
alighted, Secretary Sherman and Pres
ident Dole with Mrs. Dole standing be-
tween them, were photographed
Then Mr.. Sherman offered his arm
to Mrs. Dole and escorted her to Pres
ident McKinley's carriage. The platoons
of officers wheeled about the spirited
bays of the White house carria ge, step
ped off at a lively gait and the party
proceeded to the Arlington, where the
Hawaiian executive will be the nations
guest.
In the second carriage were Minister
Hatch of Hawaii, Assistant Secretary
CridIer and Mr.. Dole's private secre-
tary.
Following this was the carriage of
Assistant Secretary Adee and DR.. Day

associate justice. The official ceremony
Inducing him into this important office
consumed less than four minutes and was
simple in the extreme. Mr.. McKenna
had already taken the general oath of Of
flee before the chief justice when he
walked into the court room bringing up
the rear of the procession of the justices.
He, like all the other members of the
court, wore long. flowing black robe.
The court room was crowded in anticipa-
ton of the event. When he entered the
chamber the new justice stopped at Clerk
McKenney's desk, where he remained
while the other justices took their re-
spective seats upon the bench.
Chief Justice Fuller announced the
presence of the new justice, saying: ct
gives me pleasure to announce to the
gentlemen of the bar that Mr.. Joseph Nc
Kenna of California has been appointed
an associate justice of this court
The clerk handed McKenna copy of
the judicial oath and he read it in a dis
tinct voice and then was escorted to his
seat on the extreme left of the chief JUS
tice by Marshal Wright, the court re
mainig standing. He was welcomed by
a cordial shake of the hand from Justice
White, his nearest neighbor, and by bows
from the other members of the court,
whereupon all took their seats.
With this the ceremony concluded and
the court proceeded with the business be-
fore it.
