Malaney Lien Case Heard From.

The famous lien cases, in which
| about fifty 1oggers and others inter-
ested, has been heard from. The
case began IN 1892, and has been
fought by Joseph A. Mcdonald, then
located in Shelton, but now in Seattle,
until he has secured some results, and
expects "a favorable decision on the
rest shortly. Many Of the claim ants
are scattered and gone, CRYING up hope
of ever getting any thing, but those
who staid with Mcdonald are rewarded.
The Blakely Company towed away the
Malaney logs during the tendency of
the liens and thereby became respon-
sible. The claims were origin ally
about So 1000, and interest and costs
probably double the amount. The
following letter explains itself, and
will be good news to the anxious claim
ants:

the court dismissed the appeal as to all

court had no jurisdiction. You were
allowed in the lower court less than
5000, and in 80 days from the date of
the opinion, if no petition for rehear-
ing is filed, the case will be sent back
to the Superior Court. when 1 see no
reason why an execution could not be
taken out IN your favor.

Surgeon Churcn's Monument.


be generally known that James Robb
Church, the young surgeon, who made
such name for himself at Santiago,
has monument to him in Washington.
Coming from his home in Lakeville,
Conn.,, Church entered Princeton in
1884 and graduated in 1888, entering
the medical school Immediately. He
spent the summer and winter of 1890
here and accompanied the O'Neill ex-
petition as physician and surgeon,
patching up all cuts and bruises and
prescribing for attacks of indigestion,
etc, in the most approved style. 1t
was in his honor that Mount Churh,
the bold peak at the head of the south
fork of the Skokomish was named.
He was great football player and will
be able to rough it either in the Olym-
pics or Cuba.
An illustration of his dry wit may
not be out of place. While with the
O'Neill expedition in 1890 Bob" as
he was always called, and compan-
ion were overtaken by night and had to
sleep without blankets or grub on a
gravel bar of the Wynooche. In the
morning Church was found by the
other fellow when he woke sitting on
the bank and throwing rocks into the
stream.
"What are you doing Bob?'' said the
sleepy soldier. picking feathers out

WE have wasted considerable time
in trying to make head or tail out OF
the last auditors statement, presum-
ably issued by the deputy auditor, but
is so badly mixed we defy anyone to
find out where Mason county is at.
We don't believe anything is wrong,
but the auditor has unfortunately
been sick for long time and could
not look after matters himself. We
ask our Democratic friends to make
their showing SO we can get an insight
into it. All we can learn from it is that
the county treasury had $52,O22.S9, a
nice little sum to handle, from delln-
uuent taxes and other sources.

FOR LITTLE FOLKS.
An Old Sun Dial.

An interesting story is told of an old sundial ill Pennsylvania which is worth repeating. h the first part of the last century an honest Irish emigrant named Porter settled near Philadelphia Among his sons was one named Andrew, whom be tried to make into farmer and then, like his brothers, a carpenter. But An drew would have nothing to dowith the blow or tho plane. He hid in corners, boring over some mathematical books that had come into his possession.
 One day he found the design of q sum- dial in one of them and resolved to make one. He walked eight miles to a soapstone quarry, found slab and car ried it home on his back Full of zeal, he went to his brothers shop and used their saws and ehisels i'll his work. When they came home in the evening, the dial was finished Andrew was tri- umphant, but every tool ill the shop was nearly or quite ruined. They drove him into the street in fury of anger and contempt.
 His father, now convinced that he was an idle good for nothing, who would never fully earn his bread, bade him go and fit himself for schoolteach- ing, that he called the ..lazy man s work.
 Andrew gave himself to hard study for tho summer and then went to the astronomer David Rittenhouse and asked him to lend him book on comic sec tionS
 How long have you studied nathe- matios?' demanded the great man.
 Three months. '
 And what do you know of comic sec tions?' Rittenhouse rejoined, with whitening contempt
 But after asking the boy few ques- tions he not only lent him the book, but advised him not to waste his time in the country, but to go to Philadelphia and open mathematical school
 This poor farm boy was afterward General Andrew Porter, an officer i'll the war of the revolution and an au- thority on mathematical science in the young republic.
 There are plenty of farm boys now who dislike farm work. It wouldn t be wise to infer that because of this indo- lent disposition they are Andrew Porters in embryo. An easy basis for judgment is to note the use they make of their idle time. Do they give it to comic sec tions or to baseball?-Youth' s Compan- ion.

Connecticut Mans Experience With o

 Substitute BathtuS.
 One of the most ridiculous situations which at the time bring the coldess sweat out on a mans brow and ever after remain with him as a constant source of mirth occurred to a Shelton merchant. He thought he would take bath, and as his flat is minus one of the uhief requisites for the job--a bathtuk --he extemporized one out of q small washtub and enjoyed cooling ablu- tion
 He had just concluded and stepped from the tub for the towel, when sud denly the top hoop of the tub burst with sharp report, and the man saw to his horror that the whole contents of the tub would soon be flooding the floor. At tE same moment he thought of the store beneath and the amount of dam age the water would do as it ran down through the ceiling He is man Of quick thought, and in moment be did the only thing possi ble-threw himself down beside the tub and, clasping his arms around it, held the already fast swelling slaves together. He was suc- cessful in keeping the water in-bus what situation He dared not yell, for he was hardly in a condition to receive callers, especially as he knew that all in the block at the time were of the gentler sex, and he realized at once that the only thing left for him was to stay in that position until the return of his wife, who was out on shopping expe dition.
 Like the boy who saved Holland, he manfuliy remained in his most uncom- sortable position until relief in the shape of his wife appeared. Then, to cap the climax, when he asked her to get 6 rope or any old thing to tie about the tub, she, after long fit of uncontrolla ble laughter, asked him why he didn't carry tub and contents out to the sink room and pour out the water With look that froze the smile on her face he did as she said and without word don- ned his clothing and wandered out into the cold, unfeeling world, crushed and humiliated man.--AnsoDia Eenti SeL

The Old Time stasecoaci,.

In 1762 there were, strange as il seems. only six stagecoaches running in all England, and of course these were the only public vehicles for travellers Even these were a novelty, and per son named John Crosset thought they were such dangerous innovation that he wrote pamphlet against them. 'These coaches, ; he wrote, make gen tlemen come to London upon every small occasion, which otherwise they would not do except upon urgent neces- sity. Nay, the conveniency of the pass age makes their wives come often up, who rather than come such long jour. neys on horseback would stay at home. Then when they come to town they must be in the wade, get fine clothes, go to plays and treats, and by these means get such habit of idleness and love of pleasure that they are uneasy after. Even people who come to the city on steam cars are sometimes sim ilarly affected by the visit, even unto this day. y.--Exchange.

There are two new toys for children who are fond of natural history. One is a flying bird, the interior of which is supplied with machinery through which a piece of twine is run. By pulling the twine the bird is made to flap it's wings and fly to the other end of the string.
 The same sort of machinery is attached

Day Of QUAYS TRIAL
Set for December IL, a Week
from Monday.
DEMURRERS OF COUNSEL
Are 0verruIed as Fast as They
are Presented.

Philadelphia, Dec. Judge Ffnletter
in the ocurt Of quarter sessions, today
overruled all the motions of objection
entered by defendants counsel to the
five indictments found by the grand jury
against United States Senator NJ s.
Quay, his son Richard r. Quay, and ex-
State Treasurer Benjamin ]. Haywood.
The defendants were not in court, but E.
r. Sharpley, their counsel, on announce
ment of the judges decision, moved TO
instruct the clerk 10 enter pleas Of not
guilty.
This being done District Attorney Gra-
ham stated that the common wealth was
ready TO proceed 10 trial at once and
asked the court to fix an early date for
the trial
Mr.. Shapley stated that the books and
accounts presented at the magistrates
hearing were voluminous. These matters
of evidence, he and his colleague had not
had an opportunity 10 examine. They
desired to have an expert go over these
accounts carefully before they would be
ready to combat the allegations of the
commonwealth and he asked that a date
not earlier than December u be fixed.
He said furthermore that his colleague,
A S. L. Shields. had an important case
in the United States court on Monday
next which would probably occupy his
time several days. He would therefore
b eobliged to conduct this trial alone
should the date be fixed FOR next week.
Judge Finletter. in reply to Mr.. Shap-
90 Jo,+ ~
as that of any other ordinary criminal
proceeding on the docket and he could
not therefore grant the time asked for
by defendants counsel He intended
fixing Monday next as the date for trial,
but in Difference to Mr.. Shields profess
sional engagement on that day he would
appoint the following day, Tuesday, De-
cember 6, for the opening of the trial.
He stated that he considered that ample
time for counsel to prepare their defense.
Four of the five bills of Indictment
found by the grand jury charged the de-
PENDANTS with conspiracy TO misuse the
funds of the state on deposit in the Peo-
pies bank for their own benefit and profit,
and the fifth Indictment charged Benja-
min ]. Haywood with illegally loaning
slC0, 600 of the state funds, over which
ne had control. Demurrers were entered
by defendants counsel last week to the
first four indictments but Judge Finlet-
ter today declared these demurrers not
sustained. A motion to quash the fifth
indictment was also overruled by the
judge.
Judge Finletter later in the day recon
Sidered his decision fixing the date 81 the
Quay trial for December Sand fixed
Monday, December u. as the day.

included those who have served in the
present war and all others VINO are con-
nected with sea service and not in the reg
ular naval establishment. These classes
should take an annual course OF instruc-
ton and drill. The enrolment of the new
organization could be conducted by the
officers of the naval militia who served
in the Spanish war. A naval officer should
be detailed TO conduct the drill of the
ships companies. officers should be COM
missioned in the naval reserve after an
examination by a board of naval officers
The estimate OF the cost of a naval reserve
is placed al $40 per man. Upon the break
ing out Of the war the entire naval re-
serve would be Immediately available In
the case Of the last war many in the
state organizations were rejected after a
physical examination but this would be
avoided by a proper enrolment of the
naval militia.
I'm conclusion he states:
Tine congress should provide that all
laws which apply TO off1ceSs petty officers
and enlisted men of the regular navy
should also apply to the officers, petty off,
GERS and men Of the United States nava,
reserves during the time that they are
taking the annual course of instruction
and drill prescribed by the secretary of
the navy.
TT will be advisable to restrict the gen.
eral enrolment the first year to a limit
which will como well within the appro-
priation.
1T is considered that continuous an
nual appropriation Of 500, 900 will be suffi-
Gent to provide for force of naval re-
serves to aggregate 1000 men at the end
of three wars
