The Oystermen's Association.

About a score of representative
oystermen met in this city, Wednes
day, under call of State Fish Com
missioner Little, to discuss matters oil
interest to their business. The Com.
missioner was present and explained
the leading interests to be subserved
whereupon Joseph Gale was called to
the chair and w. ID. Baldwin was
elected Secretary.
A general discussion then ensued
the principal topic being protection
by statute OF natural oyster beds.
Even on this proposition there was a
division of opinion, and the morning
session closed without definite action.
In the afternoon, the association
perfected permanent organization
by electing Joseph Gale President, w
d. Baldwin Secretary and S. X. Taylor
Treasurer. A resolution was adopted
requesting that Representative Gun
derson of Mason county, be placed
upon the committee of Fisheries in
the House, and committee of seven
was appointed to draft bills relating to
the oyster industry, as follows: J. Y.
Waldrip, Thos. O'Neil, S. X. Taylor
H. X. Weatherall, A. J. Smith, w. b.
Eaton and John Gosser.

Two men who gave their names as

yesterday, charged with peddling with

consisted of several sides OF bacon.

into the possession OF the goods and
that they We're not aware that Il
license was required to sell. They
pleaded guilty before Justice King

and having no money to pay they are

Alleged incompatibility of temper
has caused dissolution of the ties
binding Mr.. and Mrs A. ID. Warner.
She was recently granted divorce
from her politician husband in the
Superior Court of Spokane. A novel
feature OF the case was the fact that
Mr.. Warner took the witness stand for
the plaintiff. The complaint alleges
"that the plaintiff is lady Of fine,
tender and delicate sensibilities, and of
4 nervous temperament, whose tastes
and ideas are entirely different and
incompatible with those of defend
ant, whose tastes and ideas are those
of Il strong determination, strong will
power and wholly repugnant to those
of the plaintiff; that this difference in
ideas, habits and general manner of
living has rendered life burdensome,
and the marriage state unpleasant and
bitter, and rendered it impossible for
the plaintiff and defendant to longer
live together as husband and wife.
And, further, this difference in ideas
of manner and customs and habits of
this plaintiff and the defendant has
rendered life many times burdensome
to this plaintiff, that she has been
confined to her bed with prostration,
and is now suffering rom the effect
thereof"

Jesse Murphy, according to Oily, per-
formed the heroic feat of arresting a
convalescing patient from St. Peters
hospital, Sunday night, who was TAX
ing a moonlight stroll for the benefit
of his health, on Capitol Hill. 1t
seems that Mr.. Ms imagination had
been excited by the frequent robberies
and hold-ups, here and elsewhere, and
he saw at once in the nocturnal stroll
Ter, vampire, living upon the honest
toll of Others. After marching his
prisoner to the police authorities, he
(the prisoner) was at once recognized
as q "sick man" and released, and
"Mr" Murphy has been ever since en-
gagged in an endeavOr of keeping the
matter quiet. 1t is said that he has
served notice on the Otympian that he
has no objection to its printing in its
columns anything it pleases, but if it
did anything to publish the story to
the public that he may visit that jour
nal with Klondike blizzard that will
scatter its little bones to the four

door, who hastily took her in his arms
and ran down a flight of steps to tide
water about so feet distant and dipped
her burning garments into the bay.
This of course Immediately extin-
guished the flames, but it was not I'M

burned, and the heroic man did not
escape painful burns upon his hands
while carrying the sufferer to the wa

The body of man or woman lies
at the bottom of Elliott bay, Seattle,
between the wings OF the Pacific
Coast company's coal bunkers. Yes
terday Diver Benjamin Storer made
the discovery while inspecting piles.
AT first he thought he had found a
sailors kit, but just then one bare
leg raised off the bottom. Storer
came to the top without stopping at
way stations. The body was that of a
small person, and Storer thinks it is
that of woman. If it is a man he
wore only nightshirt. Storer says
that the body is half embedded in the
sand and that it may not come to the
top at all. The Coroner said that he
doubted if it was in his province to
hire a diver to go down after the body,
as there is no provision to pay people
for the discovery and recovery of dead
bodies. In San Francisco the diver
would have received $40 if he had
brought up the body.

the two entered the rotunda.
"Give this man a heaping ~barspoonful
of powdered sugar" said the friend to
the barkeeper. The man did so. "Now,
swallow it," continued the speaker to the
victim of %hiccoughs. The latter assayed
to do so, and succeeded after some little
effort, for il is not IN easy matter to
swallow a mouthful of powdered sugar.
When ne mastered it he looked inquir-
ingly at his friend.
well, where are your hiccoughs
now ?" remarked the other with a smile.
They seem to have gone, he replied,
"but they'll come back again, suppose,
after a little while" .
IF they do" said the friend, sit will
be the first case | know of where
powdered sugar has failed to give relief
for hiccoughs. If n spoonful Of sugar
won't do it, two certainly will. SO fal

FORAKER ENTERTAlNS NO DOUBT
Says the Spaniards Blew Up the
Maine and That There
Will Re War.

Columbus, o., March T.-"There is no
doubt in the world that the Spaniards
blew up the battlcship Maine" declared
United States Senator Foraker as he stood
chatting to a party of friends in the Great
Southern hotel.
Rev. DR.. Washington GLADDEN., the dis
tinguished Columbus divine, Joined Issue
with the senator and defended the admin
istration policy. The minister said the
idea that the Maine was blown up by
Spanish treachery was absurd and that
there was not going to be war.
Don't be too sure Of that quietly re-
turned Senator Foraker. IF the report
of the naval board of inquiry shows that
the Maine was blown up by Spaniards
there will be war, and don't you forget
it."
other members of the party conceded
with Senator Foraker, and the discussion
ended with the statement by Foraker that
the stars and stripes must be protected
at any cost, and that, although war is a
terrible thing, it Is sometimes necessary.

''cost $l2, coo, COO,OOO. but it was cheap al
that"
