Obituary.

Departed this life at Equality colo
ny Sept. 1st, 1898, Lois A. Foy, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. David Foy, late
of Utah. The changed altitude and
climatic conditions brought on an at
tack of pneumonia which ended NOR
tai life after very brief illness.
While we weep with those who weep.
we realize in this case the loss of an
only child and daughter past - wears
of age, who has practically grown up
by their side to womanhood, is of ne
culiar sadness. The subject of this
sketch was of a quiet, amlable and
companionable disposition. She will
be missed by US all. The glorious
Gospel of the resurrection enables us
to realize that we shall meet again.
The rites of Christian burial were
duly observed at the residence and at
the Colony Cemetery at p. m. on the
I'd inst, Rev. w. H. Kaufman officia-
ting.

ism by driving a team.
Bro. Burgess went to Seattle to
help Bro. Welland drive his Jersey
cows in.
Bro. Pugh went to work for wages
in logging camp near by. 1t is a
tough job and required nerve to
tackle it, but Pugh is supplied with
the latter article.
The carpenters are called out of
the shop to help in the building.
However they are needed in both
places. We could work twice as many
mechanics as we have.
Bro. Barton is quite busy at the
blacksmith shop getting ready for the
machinery that is ready to be put up
and the arrangements for drawing
the monster logs to the saw.
In Equality the harder we work the
more we get. In the topsy turvy
competitive world those who do the
hardest and most disagreeable work
invariably get the poorest pay. See?
Visitors during the week: Mr..
Strand of Whatcom, Wash: Mr.
Walker and son of Southern Oregon
Messrs. Odell, Packer and j. B. Fowl
er of Seattle, Wash: Mr.. and Mrs.
Woods, of Port Blakeley. Wash, and
others who failed to register.
Mr.. and Mrs. Tracy and Mrs. Hal
loran of Edison, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Healey of Whatcom county, have
just paid Equality flying visit, sized
up things for an hour or two and de-
cided that we had given the lie to
those unprecedented beings who claim
| that socialists wont work.
-Someway we can't get out of the
cordwood business. Just as fast as
the choppers finish one contract, C.B.
Bridges. our efficient and unscrupu-
lous superintendent of transporta-
ton, rustles up another one. But
what is the odds? Equalityltes have
to work anyway, and they may as well
chop wood as ''chew the rag"
Members admitted during the
week: D. S. Burgess, from Fayette-
vile, Ark; William and Berthold
Aust, from Illinois: DR.. J. J. Arnold,
from Michigan. Member withdraw

4 Our barn, if built in Kansas, would
have cost $4,000. Built by co-opera-
tive labor it has, besides small bill
of hardware, only cost some days
work. If the men who built it had
lived in Kansas or any other state
under the blighting touch of Plutus,
they would in all probability have
been idle that many days. So fgur-
ing by the outside chances, our barn
cost us nothing.

We are gradually gaining in ma
terial wealth, land being cleared,
bitches dug, houses built, furniture
made, machinery secured, young men
being trained to some useful indus
trial pursuit. All this as well as that
we are constantly learning more
about how to adjust ourselves, bright
ening our understanding of the true
meaning of brotherhood and the best
methodsof organization. Oh, it's COM
ling.

RumoRs OF A BEER TRUST.

the scheme
The story was that this cons Olifa tiol
was designed to offset the action OF the

ways been an unwholesome principle
that liberty is the rightful possession
only of those who are willing to fight
for ii. War has called into life the
most admirable of human qualities: has
developed the spirit or self-sacrfice and
displaced the worship of money with
the high ideal of patriotism-an ideal
that withers in purely commercial
life. 1t is the fear OF the extinction of our
love for our splendid political insttu-
tions that leads many of the most hu-
name and gentle souls to oppose the
setting up of an international court
from the decisions of which there shall
be no appeal. Men remember that there
have been times when commercial self
ishness cried for a shameful peace and
would take peace at any price of dis
honor. They realize that there are
some things that are dearer than their
own lives or prosperity, some wrongs
less to be borne than the horrors of war
There are few persons who decry pa
triotism as a form Of selfshness, but
| they offer no substitute ideal that
seems to be attainable by MAJORITY
of mankind.

The Mnrin Teresu.

GrievouS as is the loss of the Maria
Teresa, it is fortunate that ii came
when il did. 1t is not the money value
of the ship that is first thought of, or
at all; it is not chiefly that il would be
well to have cruiser of its power
added to the available forces of the
navy. Her main interest to the Ameri-
can people was moral. To find in
the captured flagship of an enemy
formidable war vessel for ser
vice in the cause of the victorious
Republic was lesson to the world,
reminder of the splendid achievement
of our sailors off Santiago that must
impress both strangers and our own
people. We could well afford to eXpend
more than the original money cost of
the ship TO put her in a fit condition.
But the work of the men behind the
guns had been too effective; in their
zeal for the smashing of the foe they
had no thought of saving her for future
use. Her injuries were irreparable.
Since she could not be made strong
enough to weather a gale such as that in
which she was caught on what was eX-
pected to be glorious and memorable
voyage from the scene Of her defeat to
an American navy yard, it is well that
she should plunge to the bottom to join
her sister ships of Spain's submarine
navy, before she had complement Of
officers and men and before she should
receive her full armament Being in
tow. as she would never have been
again if she lad reached her destina-
ticn, il was comparatively easy to save
every soul on her before she took her
second and last dive to the bottom. If
there had been no storm she would have
been fully manned and armed and sent
to sea, when the first great storm would
/ have sunk her. probably with the loss
of every man aboard.
The friends of Lieutenant Hobson
were sorely distressed by the remark
| of Secretary Long that the rescue Of
! the Maria Teresa was not due chiefly
or largely 10 the plans and labors Of
that gallant and enterprising hero. Now
they Will be less exasperated and more
ready 10 believe that somebody else had
| a hand in preparing her for another
watery grave. Yet the young officer is
hard hit by the event, which makes il
certain that his further schemes for
| the Colon will never be received with
favor. and that the decision already
made against him will be final Cervera
and all Spain will have something, at
! last, 10 gloat over. 1t was a bitter
thought to most Spaniards that the
hated Americans would be able to use
the admiraTs flagship.

DREYFUS IN PARIS?
Report That He Has Eeen Brought
Back From DEVILS Island.

Paris. Nov. IA persistent rumor is
going the round Of the daily newspapers
that ex-Capt. Dreyfus has been brought
back from Devils Isle and conveyed under
the dark of night to the prison OF Fort
Mont Valerien.
The Soleil has investigated the matter
and has learned for a certainty that six
strongly secured cells have been refitted
in the fort. but the military authorities
refuse in the most emphatic manner to
say whether not Dreyfus is imprisoned
in cne OF them
II has been ascertained, however that
there Is a mysterious military prisoner
confined in one Of the six cells Who this
officer is no one seems TO know. as the
minister OF war has forbidden the military
authorities TO reveal his name.
The Journal des Debats declares that
the fact that mysterious prisoner is kept
in Mont Valerien is not at all conclusive
proof that Dreyfus has been brought back
To France. as military prisoners nave
from time td time been incarcerated there
though the fact was kept from the general
public.

The lessons of the explosion and fire
that caused so much damage to the Su-
preme Court chamber in the Capitol are
all obvious Somebody was seriously al
fault for allowing such an escape of gas,
which must have required days for the
large accumula ton which the violence of
the explosion suggests. Indeed. the smell
of gas had been complained of by the
justices. In New York this sort of thing
is not infrequent, though most often the
escape is into the sewers, which are some
times wrecked. The covers of manholes
have been blown a hundred feet in the
air. Leaks in buildings are more easily
detected, and it is simple neglect that
permits them to become dangerous. The
loss at the Capitol is serious-indeed. ir-
reparable-but it could easily have been
much greater but for the efficiency of the
fire department. This loss may prove use
full in making those whose duty II is to
guard the building more watchful and
thus preventing a more disastrous con-
fiagration.

The policy of the Republican supervisor
of elections in New York recalls the days
when Johnny" Davenport was able to
determine the result of an election by
the use of an army of INSCRIPTIONS depu-
ties. There. is the same trick of blank
warrants, to be filled up, when needed at
the last hour, SO that voters who are ar
rested without cause shall not be able
to prove their rights in time TO cast their
ballots. They are more violent down in
North Carolina when they want to pre-
vent men from voting. but not more eff

A contemporary that has to depend on
the slow and dunderheaded Associated
Press for its information has ridicued the
reports of starvation in Cuba, and of the
blamable indifference of the President.
Times earlier information, showing that

Pana. Ill. Nov The trouble yester-

The negro threatened To kill Boyle. and
rushed at him. Boyle knocked him down.
The negro got up. and the two men ex-
changed shots. Boyle was wounded in
the leg, but not seriously. The negro
ran into the black settlement where he
was REINFORCED by about three other ne
groes. They began firing at the whites
few of the miners who had guns re-
piled, and shot two of the negroes. one
through the shoulder the other through
the arm. A cry that the soldiers were
coming stopped the fight.
