Miss Frances E. willard, president
of the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, died Friday morning the 18th,
at Hotel Empire, New York City.
Miss Willard had suffered for some
years considerably, and on several oc-
caslons giyen. Up to die. Last summer
she rallied, however, and performed her
usual arduous tasks until six week ago
when she was Frustrated by grippe
and other complications. The funer-
al was held in New York city last
Sunday and at Evanston ILL.,, Miss
Wizards home, yesterday.
She was born in Churchville, near
Rochester, N Y, September %, 1889,
and was inssthe ninth generation from
original Puritan stock. Her father
and mother removed to Wisconsin in
1916, where the former engaged in
farming and the latter taught school,
In 1857 Miss Willard went to Milwau-
kee College for Women, and in 1859
was graduated from what is now the
woman's college OF Northwestern uni
versity at Evanston, ILL.,, suburb Of
Chicago, which town has been bel
home ever since. She began teaching
in 1861 and rose to be dean OF the col
lege and professor of aesthetics in hel
alma mater in 1904.
She travelled and studied languages
and history of the fine arts in Europe
and the East from 1868 to 1870
From 1866 down to the present she
has been engaged IN literary work,
publishing many books, mainly bear.
ing upon the reforms in which she
was interested.
She early became the leader of the
new movement of the modern temper
ance reform growing out of the WON
ans crusade of 1874, and for sixteen
years she travelled almost constantly
in its interest, visiting every impor.
tant town in the United States. The
Worlds Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union was projected by her, and
she is its president. The 10000 local
societies of the w. G. T. u, with all
it's scores of helpful enactments aud
enterprises, illustrate applied Christi
anity as hardly any single object les
son in this country has yet done.

Studied Ignorance.

OF all the small petty minded senat-
ors Mr.. Pettigrew takes the cake. In
his long TRADE against annexation OF,
the Hawiian Islands on st. Valentines
Day. he endeavored to prove that the
overthrow of the monarchy on those
Islands was due to the passage OF the
Mckinley tariff law-the motive be-
ing to secure the 2 cents bounty on
sugar. He is evidently at, this late
date. when there are 6 trans continent
al railroads coming daily in contact
with the west coast, entirely ignorant
of the conditions prevailing in the
West, as the great Daniel Webster
was in long years ago, without any
means whatever of knowing better,
when he stated the great west was a
barren waste. The means OF commu-
nication and of acquiring knowledge
OF the true condition OF the Hawiian
Islands are better today than they
we're in Wabster's time between New
York and Philadelphia. Yet, the sem
ator is barking in his studied igno-
rance. The United States is now one
great nation; at the day we speak of,
it was a conglomerate. The senator
is, in his anti-union consciousness, yet
unaware of these facts also, else would
he see beyond his present really Sim
suiar horizon"

The Forest Reserve.

The matter of the forest reserve is
attracting considerable attention, and
some effort is being made to secure its
permanent suspension. In response
to a request for information, as to the
rights of "squatters" now holding
lands within these reserves, Register
Tremper, of Seattle, writes the Olym-
pic Miner as follows:
/ have to advise you that the forest
reserve order was suspended by the
President until March 1, 1898, after
which time this Office is not advised
as to what action will be taken by the
Department. Settlement made upon
the lands embraced in the "forest re-
serve" is not effected by the order
creating the reservation, and so long
as the law is complied with title is
completed in the same manner as
though the order had never been issu-
ed. IT, you prefer to give up your land
and not file upon same, there is
nothing to prevent your takin. up
another tract at any time in the future
you find something desirable, so long
as you have not exercised your home
stead right by filing.
1 know of no way whereby you can
get the benefit of the labor already
performed and the money spent on your
claim except to either complete title
yourself after the land has been sur
veyed and the plat filed or else sell
your improvements to some one who
desires to make an entry of land and
is willing to do so before the expira-
ton OF the order of suspension, to-wit
before March l, 1898.

Supreme Court.

IF we did not have law we should
have anarchy. If law did not have
any system it would be a tumble. But
there is science called jurisprudence,
the rules of which in making laws can
not be violated. It is the science OF
law. In accordance with its rules,
laws are either right or wrong. If it
were left to every man to Judge wheth-
er legislation is good or bad, what a
mess would be made of it. Seldom
can two men agree upon the meaning
OF the simplest sentence. How would
it be on the meaning of complicated
laws. To obviate this evil, the consti-
tuition provides for the establishment
of courts to construe the law by
means of the scientific rules mention
ed. The supreme court is the highest
of these. Whenever, however, some
construction, contrary to the idea of
anyone is made, it has become the
fashion to rail at this court, and to
call it corrupt, etc. Such a course
shows strange lack of good sense.
The members of these courts are all
men chosen by the people; and have,
by training and otherwise, the honor
of their profession at heart. That
their decisions are dictated by an hon
orable intention to observe the rules
of law no right-thinking man can
doubt.-Weekly Bulletin.

The Big Barge SkOokum.

The Alaska Barge company, which
is building at Old Tacoma the largest
barge ever constructed on the coast
for the Alaskan trade, has decided to
christen the craft the Skookum. This
word is from the Chinook jargon, a
language invented by the Hudson Bay
Company for use in trading with the
general tribes of the Northwest.
Skookum means big and strong.
Manager Waldo says the Skookum
will be launched about February %.
She is, says he, the largest wooden
craft ever built on the Pacific coast,
and will Garry twice as much freight
as any wooden vessel ever built on the
coast. She will have capacity of g.
OOO.tons weight, as much as a large
ocean steamship. The barge is now
planked.-ledger.
The Satsop Railroad once owned q
big scow called the Skookum. which
was one of the largest on the Sound.

which has just been passed an insol-
vent is defined as one whose property
at fair valuation would not be suf-

GRUBB MARRIED.
Mrs. Mollie Moore, Aged About 40,
Wins the Affections Of Ernest
Grub, Aged 20.

Some time prior to the June term
OF court Mrs. DR.. WEIGH, of Laddonia,
sued for a divorce from her husband,
She also sued Mrs. Mollie Moore, aged
about 40 years, also OF Laddonia, for
$4,000 for alternating her husbands
affections. This latter suit was dis
missed before the court convened; in
fact, it was a compromise all around
and the divorce was granted.
II rs said that DR.. WEIGH began
paying open attentions to Mrs.
Moore, who is not only pretty, bat Is
weli-to-do. To prevent the breath Of
scandal again besmirching his actions,
it is said that the doctor usually took
2O-year-oId Ernest Grub with him
when he visited Mrs. Moore's home.
He was rewarded last week by the
marriage Of his young friend Grub
to Mrs. Moore. Such is life.

ner, Of This City, Writes
to His Mother.

HONOLULU, HAWAIIAN ISLANDS,
Nov. Dear Mother: As we are
about to start to Manila l must write
you a few lines so that you will know
where am and that / am all right.
We came on bonrd the Arizona yes
terday at noon and at four O'Clock In
the afternoon pulled out into the
stream, where we are now lying at
anchor. The Arizona is the same
steamer that brought us from San
Francisco to Honolulu and ~lourneyed
on to Manila, and, having safely re-
turned, abe is ready to carry us to
that far away strange land, the Philip
pines. The Arizona is said to be the
best and one Of the fastest transport
that has been employed in carrying
men to the Philippines.
Another good thing is we are not
crowded. A number OF hunks are
vacant and, ss nearly all OF us have
travelled on her before, we feel quite
at home. We are to stay here at
anchor within sight OF Honolulu and
within sight Of the beautiful green
mountains that cover the island Of
owahu three days. The object OF
staying here three days is to detect
the ones who are inflicted with fever.
We have been here but a day and a
half and 6fteeA have been sent ashore
to the hospital. Probably nc less than
fifteen more will be sent ashore to-
morrow and then the next morning
we start on Dur long voyage. think
1t was a good idea to lay over here,
for ! believe that some Of those boys
who have been sent back would have
died before we reach Manila.
Five transports are now on their
way to the Philippines, but notwith-
standing all this show of war, l do not
anticipate any serious trouble with the
Insurgents. One sweeping demon
stration by Uncle Sans boys and
and his host will take to
he woods and be as many others who
have tried to oppose Old Glory-a
hing Of the past.

At the meeting OF the wyanaotte

Mr.. Brown, "when the forces oppos-

money power should travel under one
banner. We should pull together
under one flag and in that manner
obtain the victory we deserve"
MI. Brown does not think that
fusion will ever be a success. A good
pull and a strong pull what is needed,
