II has lately in that enterprising village.
John w. Peters, Republican, ran for city
attorney last year. but was defeated by the
present city attorney Hyland. on the In
dependent Citizens ticket. This year the
Citizens party. really composed almost
wholly of Republicans, nominated Hyland
others organized separate ticket, calling
II the straight Republican" with himself
and friends thereon. The Peoples ticket
Endorsed him for city attorney and he,
therefore occupied the position Of straight
Republican Endorsed by Democrats, Pcpu-
lists and Silver Republicans. Peters held
the Office Of city attorney for one month
last year, while the election Of Hyland was
being contested, and when defeated took
the ONCE of deputy city assessor, though
that ONCE was slated for another man.
This, together with the alleged fact that he
failed to give up his salary for the month
in the city attorneys Office. occaHoned
some feeling in the opposite faction. His
plea for election to succeed Hyland was

Hyland was charged by the Peoples and
the straight Republican parties with being

charges was made against David MacVay.

Pedlar, foreman Of the grand jury, was a

However, Capt Roberts, of the Dirigo,

bacher's Juneau agent that a number OF
indictments had been returned by the grand
Jury against the excursionists

II to flow into the lake instead Of into the
Duwamish river.
The floods are caused by the back water
OF the Black river. This sluggish stream
is swollen every winter when Lake Wash
fngton rises. 1t receives also Cedar river
and carries a great volume OF water back
to the Duwamish. The latter also receives
the rushing current of White river, fed
by many tributary streams. All this is
too much for the placid Duwamish, which
loses control Of the waters and they wan
der at will over the lowlands, covering
wheat fields. vegetable gardens and pas
lures and causing great loss to the long
suffering farmers.
1t is worth ones time to go out to South
Park and see the river so serenely, but

Old Case Revived.

Norris McKinstry Of Woodbury. was be-
fore Washington county court at the March
term and pleaded guilty to the charge OF
resisting o. r. Collins, who was then sher-
III OF the county, and b. H. Lowell Of Cabot,
whom Mr.. Collins had called upon for as
sistance, from taking a colt from McKins-
try's barn for which Mr.. Collins had been
sent, as an officer, to replevin. In the
history OF this case 1t appears that Mrs. Nc
Kinstry was mixed up in the melee which
occurred on that occasion, AS a sequel to
that affair, McKinstry has brought suit for
5000 damages against Messrs. Collins and
Lowell and they were arrested Thursday
evening by Deputy Sheriff Templeton. The
writ is returnable at the September term Of
Washington county court. The decars-
ton sets up that Messrs. Collins and Lowell
used violence against Clara McKinstry,
who was pregnant, on December II, 1896,
that on January II, 1897, she gave birth to
a dead child, that from that time she was
very sick and that on February g. 1897, she
died. The declaration alleges that the vio-
lence she suffered from the hands OF the
defendapts, size being in the delicate condi
ton mentioned. had tendency to produce
the unhappy results related and the plain
tiff therefore claims he Is entitled to damages
Mr.. Lowell has been committed to Jail and
Mr.. Collins remains in the custody of the
officer. H. G. Shurtleff is retained by Nc

No orator ever less needed the aids
of art than the great London preacher.
Charles IL. Sturgeon, and none ever
used them less: but when nature
helped him. not only in himself. but
outside of himself. he welcomed the
effect, as he had right to do. One
striking instance of a sermon rein
forced in this way is related by a
clergyman Of the Church of England,
the Rev. H. A. Doudney.
Mr.. Spurgeon was holding outdoor
meetings in the county of Hants (op-
poSitc the Isle of Wight, and one af-
ternoon he preached to a great throng
of people in a beautiful valley near the
market town of Havant
His text was from the fifty-first
Psalm, '"rhcn will teach trangressors
Thy ways" and the sermon was a
Gospel invitation The air was still,
and a cloudleSs sun was sinking as he
approached the end of his discourse,
while the attentive hearers caught
every word.
Apparently they had not noticed car
ricd along as they We're by the sweep
of his powerful voice that the valley
was the home of echoes. Mr. Spurgeon
had discovered the fact At the close
of his last appeal, raising his voice, he
called TO the congregation: "All things
are ready, Come. The Spirit and the
bride say come" and nature herself ac.
cents the heavenly invitation again and
again. Come, Come, Gomez
The echoes took up the word. and
from side to side the breathlesS Assem-
bly, heard the repeated call, Come!
Come. Gomez till il sank to a whisper
in the distance.
The narrator describes the effect as
''like an electric shock" IT was as IL
the preachers eloquent peroration had
awakened supernal voices.
We have no written record of the
fruits of the meeting. but there was a
solemnity in the aptnesS of its close
that lifted il above mere dramatic arti-
flee or any OF the devices employed to
trick.

SHOCKING DEATH.

Louis, the little five.years-o son OF Mr..
and Mrs. Everett G. Keezer, of 1877 Main
street, met a shocking death about one
o'clock today.
Henry Campbell, employed by Benjamin
Daley in driving the heavy digger" used
in carting blocks of granite for the founda-
ton Of the new Langdon building, had just
hitched his horses TO the vehicle, on which
was stone of about 1900 pounds weight.
He was ready to leave Mr.. Daley.s yard
when he noticed that the little fellow had
climbed upon the load for a ride. Mr..
him against getting on again, after which
he started away with his team.
1t appears, however, that the little fellow,
unbeknown to the driver, again tried to
board the team, for after Mr.. Campbell had
turned from the driveway into Main street
be saw the little fellow lying on the walk.
He Immediately stopped the team and ran
to the spot where the boy lay and to his
horror found that the little fellow had in
some way fallen under the rear wheel,
which with Its immense load, had passed
over the lads skull crushing it to Jelly,
the blood flowing stream along the con-
crete driveway.
Mr.. Campbell gathered the remains up
and carried them into the house. The
grief Of the parents was heart rending and
they have the sympathy of the community
in their sad aff1iction. No blame is attach
ed to the driver. The accident was beyond
his power to avert. His grief over the az
fair is second only to that OF the boys pa
rents, as the little fellow had been an es-
pecial favorite with him.

The City Council.

An adjourned meeting OF the city council
was held at 4:30 O. clock Thursday afternoon.
Mayor Senter and Alderman Boswell were
absent and President Wheelock presided.
The object Of the meeting was to take some
action in regard to getting an extension OF
time before building the Charles street
bridge for the reason that the price per ton
on iron was ascending at the lively rate OF
800 per month. The resolution, offered by
Alderman Jangraw at former meeting,
which provided that the city should apply
to the courts for an extension OF time was
reported upon by City Attorney Carleton
who stated that nothing, II anything, could
be done in the matter before the October
term OF Supreme court so the resolution
was dismissed. 1t was finally voted to con-
fer with the original petitioners for the
bridge and obtain their consent to delay
in the work of construction. The contract
for building the abutments was awarded to
Ward & Douglass and was signed by both
parties. The work is TO be done by the day
aud not for lump sum. The council also
voted that stenographer should be en-
ployed by the city to take the testimony Of
fered by the railroad company at the COM
ing hearing on the petition for an overhead
crossing at the Charles street bridge cross
ing 80 that later when the railway company
is asked by the city to put in gates and the
like at other crossings along its line the
company's testimony as to the needs at
Charles street may be used
