Gently felt more assured that justice
would ultimately be done, however
slowly it might come. A recent letter
from the department of the interior
says that ali bona fide settlement made
or claims initiated prior to March /.
1873, on lands within the Olympic
Forest Reserve, are protected under
the provisions of June 4, 1897, and all
such settlers or claimants can perfect
their claims the same as if the reserva-
ton did not exist, provided they get
their claims on record within the sta
tutory period.
On train one hot day recently
travelling man put a big bottle of
whiskey in the water tank, to cool.
Pretty soon the chief cook dropped the
daily ice into the tank, smashing the
bottle. The sun waxed hotter and the
sweltering passengers kept coming to
the tank and drinking freely. They
were delighted with the magnificent
water the company furnished. They
grew hilarious. Finally deacon, who
had taken on several quartz, staggered
to his feet and said: "That washer

The house of James Smith, near
Seabeck, on Hood Canal, was destroy
ed with all its contents by fire last
week. All the inmates of the house
were sleeping, when those on the

of the house burning rapidly. They
rushed from the building, and just be-
fore the roof fell the grandmother hur-

on the upper floor, and was not awak

A Hot Time Expected.

The following dispatch from Frank
fort predicts a hot time at the Hop
kinsville convention to-day:
"The politicians here are talking of an
interesting fight that is expected to come
up in the Railroad Commissioners Con
vention, which meets in Hopkinsville on
Friday, as TO whether the resolutions
adopted shall be devoted TO State issues
or to national issues and the Chicago
platform If the HOpkinsville COnven-
ton adopts State issue resolutions the
other two Railroad Commissioners Con-
ventions will likely follow suit.
cit is understood that Gen. Hardln's
friends want the Friday convention TO
endorse Bryan, Blackburn and the Chi
cago platform and leave state issues out,
which will then be construed to mean
that the convention has endorsed Hardin
for governor, because the resolutions
failed to mention the cleo ion law, Nc
Chord railroad bill and the antitrust
school book bill If the State Issues are
Incorporated in the resolutions, Senator
Goeoers friends will be in position to
claim that the convention endorsed
Goebel for Governor. as he favored the
three laws mentioned while in the Sen
ate last winter. 1t will be an interest
ing fight, and all the candidates and
prominent politicians are now on thel1
way to HOpkinsville."

GOebeTs Friends Controlled.

THE Democratic State Executive Com
mittee met in Lexington Wednesday and
called a convention to be held In Louis
Vile on June 81 to nominate candidates
for State Offices. Delegates will be
elected by County and Legislative dis
trict mass conventions on June 18th.
Mr.. Ollie James, of Crittenden county,
was elected at a joint meeting OF the
Committees to succeed Senator Goebel
as a member from the State-at-large.
Both of the meetings were controlled by
Senator Goebels friends.
The most sensational feature of the
convention was the meeting between
Jack Chinn and Chas. Bronston in the
Phoenix Hotel. ChlDn asked Bronston
il he was armed, and when he replied
that he was not, asked how long it
would take him to get gun. Bronston
said be would get one and lie back in ten
minutes, Chinn replying that he would
wait for him. Bronston went after apistol
but was arrested as he was returning to
the hotel. He was taken before a mag
istrate but was Immediately released,
going to the hotel with the pistol in his
hand. While this was happening Chinn
was arrested and placed under $4,000
bond to keep the peace. BrOnston was
at the hotel when Chinn returned, but
there WAS no further trouble. The
cause of the trouble was a lawsuit
against Chinn in which Bronston was
the attorney. Chinn had sworn to be
reyenged and said that he had come to
Lexington fully prepared to denounce
BroDston, which he did after they bad
been separated and Bronston was hustled
into room by his friends.

there is as much complaint from cOun-

things, the past winter being unusually
hard on roads as vel as everything else,
and there being Nd weather in which
