greatly to the other attractions. Ten car

that were here to compete for purses.
The pavilion was handsomely decorated
and the vegetable and fruit exhibit was
simply immense. l measured one Yak

and one pumpkin that was over feet IN
circumference. I saw in this exhibit
peanuts, persimmons, tobacco, walnuts,
chestnuts and almonds that were grown
in this county. Watermelons nearly as
long az "Shorty" Myers was there by
wagon loads and for sale at Ave cents
apiece. Twenty-three varieties OF Irish
potatoes were on exhibition. Taking the

STOLEN BIKES RECOVERED.
Bicycle Owners Must Keep q Sharp Lookout
for Their Wheels.


Yakima's viglant police force has
proven itself fully competent to handle
the droves of hobos that temporarily in
lest the community. No crimes OF any
serious consequence have been commit
ted, but ANNOYING instances Of petty
thieving are common. Somebody boldly
stole A. D. Sloan's bicycle from in front
OF his drug store the other day, but it
was soon found hidden in a barn on the
east side. Jsnitor Harris of the First
National bank suffered a similar loss.
His house was burglarized at night, and
while he slept his bike was stolen and
hidden in barn south of town. This
property was likewise recovered by the
police, though in neither instance was
the thief found. 1t is evidently the de-
sign of certain hobos who migrate to Cal
lfornia from the north coast as the winter
season advances, to supply themselves
with bicycle locomotion. Owners must
have care where they leave their bikes

ANNEXATION MAY FOLLOW.
The Situation in Samoa Now BORDERS
on Anarchy.

Auckland, N. a., Feb. 14.-Advices re-
ceived here from Samoa under date of Feb.
g. report that anarchy and rebellion still
prevail there
The provisional government persists in
interfering with the British subjects, and
also with servants of British residents.
The decision of the triple council in the
matter of the kingly succession is anxious
ly awaited. Annexation is looked upon as
the only possible solution of existing DIFF
ficultes. 1t is stated that even Mataafa's s
followers would prefer English to German
control.
The British cruiser Porpoise returned to
Apia on Feb. from cruise of the sa-
moan group, and reports having found af-
fairs quiet on the other islands.
The people of Tautala are unanimously
in favor of Malietoa Tanus. In Savali
each claimant to the throne Is strongly
supported.
The German consul general, Mr.. Rose.
has notified Chief Justice Chambers that
his government has not upheld his protest
regarding that officer. The news was re-
ceived with great satisfaction.
Chief Justice Chambers reopened his
court to hear the charges of contempt
against DIR. Johannes Raffel and Herr
Fries, chief of police, before releasing Herr
GrievesmuhI. DR.. Raffel failed to appear.
Mr.. Rose, the German consul, had de-
clared that the matter came within the
jurisdiction of his consulate.
Chief Justice Chambers considered Dr..
Raffel gully of contempt and cited him
to appear at the next term of court when
judgment will be pronounced He said
that force would not be used to compel
DIR. Raffel to appear, but that the German
consul could keep him in the consulate if
he chose TO do so. Chief of Police Fries
was fined 500. Herr Grievesmuhl has paid
the fine of $1,000 imposed upon him by the
court
The Porpoise having been boycotted by
order of Dr. Raffel and Mataafa's SEN
tries preventing natives from going off to
that cruiser in canoes an apology was de-
manded by the British consul, Mr.. E. G.B
Maxse for the attitude assumed toward
the British, and also for an insult offered
TO Chief Justice Chambers. Mataafa and
his chiefs complied and DR.. Raffel also
apologized in their behalf.
It is understood that everything was in
readiness on board the Porpoise for roy
alist attack on Mataafa, if an apology had
not beer forthcoming.
DIR. Raffel being engaged in organizing
regiments for Mataafa, formal notice was
served on him against expending the taxes
for this purpose.

WILSON WILL DE REINsTATED.
Committee Says Governor should Not
Have Suspended Him.


Raleigh, n c., Feb. A-The special
committee appointed early In the session
Of the North Carolina Legislature to in
yestigate Gov. Russelrs suspension OF J.
w. Wilson and $. Otho Wilson, railroad
commissioners, from their office. met to-
night and decided that the evidence be-
fore the Governor did not warrant the
suspension Of Mai J. w. Wilson. The
case of S. Otho Wilson is still under con-
sideration
Maj. Wilson will hardly be expected to
resume has duties on the Railroad Com
mission, as IL is the intention of the assem-
bly, 70 abolish ,ho statute creating the
Railroad Commission and recreate 1t with
partially new powers and duties, and his
term expires with this session of the as
sembly
The clause of the Railroad Commission
act which governs 1t in cases like that OF
Maj Wilson. declares that in any case OF
suspension the Governor shall fll the va
cancy. II the general assembly shall de-
termlne that the commissioner suspended
shall be removed, then the appointee of
the Governor shall hold until his successor
Is elected and qualified, but II the general
assembly shall determine that the sus-
pended commissioner shall not be removed
from his office then the effect shall be to
reinstate him In the Office.
The practical effect of the report of the
committee, If adopted, as H doubtless will
be- by the legislature. will be to enable
Maj. J. w. Wilson to draw his salary from
the date of his suspension up 10 the pres
opt.

poison received through the mails by Har-
ry Cornish, at the Knickerbocker Athletic
Club, was resumed to-day after a three

agreements with Cornish and his efforts
to have the latter ousted from the Knick-
erbocker Athletic Club; of how he met
Miss Blanche Chesbrough who is now his
wife; of how he presented his friend Bar

EFFECT ON ORANGE TREES.
TOO EARLY YET TO TELL WHAT
THE DAMAGE WILL BE.

Inspection of the Trees Around Or
IandO ReVives the Hopes of the
GrOwers-TitusvilIe Reports the
Trees Dormant and Not Damaged.
Gambler Reports Many Trees Kill
cd--May Take Five or Six Days to-
Get at the Loss.
Orlando, Fla. Feb Alt Is too early to-
decide with certainty just what the effect
OF the cold wave upon the fruit interests
will be-
There was despondent feeling among
che fruit growers this morning: but since
the day has passed and an inspection OF
orange groves and pineries has been made,
dependency has largely disappeared. and
the opinion prevails that the real injury
will prove slight.
So far as has been possible to secure in
formation, this hopefulness prevails ALI
over this part of the state. Where piner-
les were protected and artificial heat was
employed, the absence OF damage Is sur
prising Even where most exposed the
pineapple plants are not killed to the
ground. IS they were four years ago.
The cold wave has passed by and the
temperature is rising tonight
No Damage Mt TitusviIIe.
Titusville, Fla, Feb 1.-THE cold wave
reached this part of Florida yesterday
morning, and the mercury fell to % de-
grees by sundown. Freezing weather set
in and the thermometer registered &c de-
grees az o'clock this morning.
All orange growing interests are safe as
the trees are in dormant condition, and
no sap Is flowing
All tender vegetables We're frozen
The mercury dropped 20 % degrees at
Miami at o'clock this morning, and all
the vegetables IN that section are entirely
wiped out This is a hard blow to the
poor truckers who had almost all their
means IN tomatoes and cucumbers
VIII Take Some Days to Tell.
Jacksonville. Fla, Feb. l4.-The damage
by the cold wave In this state was mainly
confined to the early vegetable crop.
The injury to the citrus industry Is, as
yet, merely speculative. II is thought the
orange bloom brought out by the open
Floridian winter has been injured.
II will require five or six days to ascer-
tain the exact damage done the orange
trees.
No marine disasters have been reported.
Orange Trees Were Frozen.
Gambler Fla, Feb. 14.-Sunday night the
mercury fell to y above zero and stood at
| that point several hours. At $3.50 o'clock
Monday morning storm storm set in and
| covered the ground.
Orange trees are undoubtedly killed TO
the ground Nearly every one has their
groves banked up. and will save the buds
but a years growth is gone. This Is q
sad blow to Florida. A good many peo-
pie here built fires in the groves, but IL
did no good The trees froze within two
feet of the fires.
The vegetable crop will be a total loss.
People are much discouraged. as 1t looks
as II orange growing in Florida Is a thing
of the past.
