and later he viii file his report with
coroner Fred Il. Church, and, IN all
probability. there Will be an inquest.
Manara had lived fn the town OF Bar
rington for the past eight years. HIS
reputation was considered as good as
than of any Of his compatriots an the
town. He had never Decn unuer arrest
and had worked at such odd jobs as ne
could find. JUST the week before ms
death he was employed by Charles j.
smith as a laborer. He lived ON Linz
coin avenue in Drownvlle on a place
owned by John w Dodge. He leaves
a wife and three children. The widow
IS unable to speak English and is said
TO be feeble minded. There Is a three
year-old daughter at the home. while

that the mans family viii have money

Seattle, Wn., Sept. 1.-Two steamers
have arrived from Alaska bringing
about 500 miners, fortunate and unfort-

be in earnest" says the Tribune, with
reference to the trust problem, but GER
tainly we do well to go slow with it.
There is more in it perhaps, than is
dreamed of in our philosophy Much
as the trusts have solved the problem
of production, they have not yet or
ganized the machinery of distribution
in a way that some time it will be or
ganfzed. A vast amount of money is
lost sending stocks where they are not
sold. A single direct agency in touch
with every seller would cut off millions
of Toss every year by properly direct
ing shipments of stocks. Individualism
certainly causes waste when it comes
to distribution. and as certainly as the
trust is dealing with the problem of
production, so certainly it will come to
deal with all the phases Of the COM
mercial problem, and who shall say
that it is not tending toward social

boarded the car and just as the con-
ductor was about to pull the bell rope
to signal the mOtorneer to go ahead the
dog ran close to the car again and
barked. The second time the young
lady got off the car and grabbed for
the dog who thought it great fun and
ran off a little way and barked and
frisked around.
The young lady was becoming exas-
perated. Her hat was on crooked and
her face was red. She got back on the
car again with a look which meant that
the dog could go his own way. By this
time four cars were stopped behind the
one she was on, waiting for it to move.
Again the dog ran up and this time
put his front feet on the car step and
looked up in such a pleading manner
that she stepped off again and as be-
fore she missed him.
I'VE will have to go now remarked
the conductor as she seated herself
again. She looked as if she could eat
that conductor, but the car started.
The dog followed along and just after
paying her fare she asked to get off
at the next corner and walked the rest
of the way with the dog.
