DEFENDS THE LADIES'.
Hon. n. J. Sniveiy. Returning Home Tells OF the
Yakima Phase Of the Medical Lake Middle.


Hon. II. J. Snively, member of the
Board Ct Control, WAS seen in this city
OH Tuesday and asked concerning the
Medical Lake controversy. In addition
to that appearing in another column,
Mr.. Snively said he had nothing further
to say, except that he deeply regretted
that the names of Miss Helen Dixon and
Miss Laura Stewart should be dragged
into the controversy. These are both
very reputable young ladies of this
county and highly respected. They were
appointed upon the highest of testimon-
ials from such physicians as Drs. Coe,
Eggleston, Sharpless and Kibbe, of Sc
attic, and Gum and Heg of North Yak
ina. In reference to the tender to DIR
Frank of the place of physician, temper
arily, Mr.. Snively said: "Dr. Mclean
did not know that he WAS to be elected
superintendent, consequently he was not
prepared to name his assistant. With
the end in view of giving him time to do
this and to leave him unembarassei in
making the selection, Frank was re-
quested to go over and act till August Is,
by which time Mclean could have ample
time to make the selection of q perma-
nent physician. Had fusionist been
sent temporarily he might have supposed
he had lien on the permanent appoint
ment and thus embarrassed Or. Mclean
in making his selection"

WIFE MAY BE SLAIN.
Case Of Albert A. Beck, in Chicago
Resembles That of Adolph
LuetSert.

Chicago, Feb. 27.-Albert August
Becker, butcher, residing at 5O17
Rockwell street, is accused by Capt. La
vim and the police of the Forty-seventh
street station of having murdered his
wife, Teresa Becker. The murder is al
legged to have taken place month ago,
on January 26 or ~. The body of Mrs.
Becker has not been discovered. Feb
ruary II Becker was married to Eda
Sutterlin (in English, Ida Sutherland),
the 17-year-old daughter of saloon
keeper at Forty-second and Loomis
streets. Both Becker and the girl are
under arrest. AS evidences that a crime
has been committed the police have an
iron bar on which there is blood and
what is supposed to be human hair, and
part of the board flooring of Becker's
barn, on which there is blood and hair.
Should it prove that in the disappear
ance of Mrs. Becker murder has been
committed, the case will make one of a
strange trio, the other two being
Adolph Luetgert's and Emil Rollinger's.
Luetgert, Rollinger and Becker all fol-
lowed the trade of butchers in Chicago.
All are phlegmatic, dull-witted Ger
mans. Each is accused Of having made
away with his wife in order to be free
to marry another woman. Neither
Leutgert nor Becker made any effort
to discover the whereabout of his wife
after her disappearance.

SOME OF IT'S WORK.
Brief Resume of the Principal Busi-
ness OF the F1fty-Fifth
Congress.

Washington, Feb. 27.-An eventful
period in the country's history is COW
cred by the work of the Fifty fifth con-
gress, which is drawing to a close. 1t
has been a period of stirring and dra-
matte action, with questions of vast
magnitude constantly engaging atten-
tlons forming an epoch alongside those
other American epochs, the revolution
and the civil war: This congress has de-
clared war against foreign foe, and
the treaty-making branch has partici-
pated in ratifying the treaty by which
that war was terminated. It has pro-
vided great volunteer army. has en-
larged the regular army, and has eX-
panded the navy to meet war emer-
gencies and new conditions. The tariff
has been revised, first by the Dingley
law and then by the war revenue act;
a bond issue known as the war loan, has
been provided.
"se But far reaching as these war meas
ures are, the congress has had time also
to enact other legislation, which, under
ordinary circumstances, would make
It's session memorable. This includes
the annexation of Hawaii, the reject
Ing by the senate. of the general treaty
of arbitrat ton with Great Britain; the
enactment of national bankruptcy
law; provision for taking the Twelfth
census; reorganization Of the personnel
OF the navy. To this list may yet be
added other important subjects still
pending, including the Nicaragua
canal, the increase of the regular army,
the anti-scalping measure, the Ha-
waiian bill, and the proposed encour-
agement of American shipping. Some
OF the most important general meas
ures are in the: final Legislative stages,
and it will not be until the Last hours
arrive that the success or failure of
these measures will be determined def
nitely.
The total appropriations of the pres
ent session will approximate $70O,O0O,-
600, of which about $3.50, 100000 will be
for the military and naval uses or for
subjects connected with the war. til a
general estimate, however, based upon
totals which may undergo much change,
as very few OF the large appropriation
bills have become law, and some of
them have not even been considered. If
the Nicaragua canal amendment is
added to the river and harbor bill this
will make a material increase. Included
in the naval bill are provisions for three
sea-going battleships, three armored
cruisers and six small cruisers, for
which $10,000,oOo is appropriated for
the first years. work. Based on esti-
mates, the total appropriations for the
congress (not including the four appro-
priation bills leftoverby the former con-
gress) would be Approximately $780,
900, 900, of which amount approximately
$60O,O0O,OO0 is for war expenses or Incl
dent to the army and navy.

A rare opportunity is being offered
5y the Minnesota State Agricultural
society, and which will indirectly re-
suit in much good for the state. The

encourage such production has offered
a premium of ST. 900 for a Seeding ap-
pie tree as hardy and prolific as the
Duchess, with fruit equal to the Veal
thy in size, quality and appearance,

linda. The contest is open to all.

Towns in the Swamps.

Three new towns have just been
thrown open for settlement in the Big
Fork and Sturgeon river districts. The
plats OF these towns are now on file in
the Duluth land Office, having just
been received from the United States
surveyor general at st. Paul. The
towns are 1895, 155-25-5 and 155-26-5.
Most OF the lands are swamp, heavy
tamarack and unfit for cultivation.
Town 55-25 is very fair one. It con-
talns only 1898 acres of swamp, as
against over $4,000 acres of swamp in
each OF the other two towns. There
are quite number of settlers in 1926
now, and more will undoubtedly rush
IN there with the opening of spring.
In all there are 3s,os5 acres of swamp
lands in the the three towns, which
contain an area of SO, 120 acres.
