A CARELESS LEGISLATURE.
IMMIGRATION AND ROADS.

Already the spring rush Of immigrants
to the state OF Washington has begun,
and, owing to the extreme low rates Of
fered by the railroads, it promises to sur.
pass any former year. Will Chehalis
county, especially the Grays Harbor re-
gion, get its share Of those, homeseekers?
Most decidedly not, without an effort.
Intending settlers purchase tickets to
Tacoma, Seattle, Portland or Spokane
and localities close to those cities, alive
to the importance Of adding desirable
element to their population. maintain
agents at these points and extensively
advertise their sections to induce the tide
Of immigration. Chehalis county has -
yet made no effort in that direction, al.
though it presents more opportunities for
the farmer, stockman and lumberman
than almost any other county in the
state. The fertile tide lands Of the Har.
Dor and valley lands Of its tributaries are

ton and. with the proper effort, that
population can be secured. The prime
necessity for the settlement Of these lands
is wagon road connection with the out
side world. Immigrants from the middle
west will look askance at country with
out wagon roads. having always been
accustomed to them. Lewis county,
which is giving road building great
deal Of attention, is, BY that means, at.
tracing immigrants more rapidly than
any other county in Southwestern Wash.

such inducement az is offered by Che

The building Of the road between Aber.

link between the east and west parts o.
the county and will be of value to the
entire population on the north side wes
Of Montcsano, and will really be the lont

and the year 1899 will mark an epoch il

HANNA KILLED A BILL.
Prevents Tom Anderson's Masonic
Law From Being Passed.

The house bills now in the senate, the
appropriation bills. reports of confer
ence committees and messages from
the governor are all that will be con-
sidered by the senate until final ad-
1ournment, the time for the considera-
ton of senate bills having expired at
noon today. At that time the senators
who had been struggling to have GER
tain bills advanced and passed gave
up the struggle and those who had been
successful heaVed a sigh of relief.
Just at the closing moment Senator
Hanna pushed a motion to adjourn and
thereby killed the bill introduced by
Senator Tom Anderson to amend the
present law governing beneficiary Socie-
ties so as to exempt the Masonic Mutual
Aid from the provisions of the bill. The
hour of u had not arrived when Han
ma insisted on his motion to adjourn.
1t was carried. Senator AndersOn'S bill
was next on the calendar and would
have been passed in two minutes.
The last bill passed in the senate, or
iginating in that body, was one intro
duced by Farrelly to amend paragraph
1896 of the statutes of 1889 and to re-
peal the original section. Bills left on
the senate calendar, originating in the
senate. are 200 in number. Some of the
important ones follow:
Senator Anderson's fraternal bill.
Farrelly's amendments to the banking
law.
BY Misunderstanding senators and
representatives ineligible to hold other
state offices.
By Anderson-To prohibit child labor
By Stocks-Changing the date of the
annual school meetings.
BY Field-To tax incomes.
BY Cooke-To create the office of
pond commissioner.
By Observation-Disclosures cities of
the first class to purchase and erect a
market house.
BY Stone-To pay certain Quantrell
raid claims.
BY Hessin-Providing for the ap-
pointment of a commission to inveSti-
gate the condition of the state perma-
nent school fund.
BY Sheldon-To administer the Kelley
cure at public expense.
By Hart-To establish the state dis
pensary system of handling liquors

MIR. GODDARD EXPLAINS.
Wants to Set Himself Right Before
the Court and Bar.

The committal of Bradbury, alias
Nello, created sensation among the
crowd of spectators in the court room.
1t was the latest sensational feature of
the very sensational trial.
As soon as Judge Hazen ordered
Sheriff Cook to take the witness in
of the court. I'VE desire to explain
just how we came to take this mans
affidavit" he said.
mo explanation is necessary. gentle
men," said Judge HaZen. Il don't sup
pose anyone thinks for moment that
you are responsible for this mans ac-
tions-I'm sure the court doesn't"
We would prefer to explain. your
honor" put in Attorney Hayden.
IF the attorneys wish TO make a
statement personally 1 haSe no objec-
tion," said Judge Hazen. only don't
think it necessary"
Il would prefer to state the circum-
stances said Mr.. GODDARD, rising. He
then went on to say that he had re-
ceiVed a letter from NellO, written at
Omaha, in which he stated he had i'm
portant information concerning the
Collins case. That he, GODDARD, had
written NellO, asking for the nature of
the information, and that the next
heard from him was when he walked
into the office of Valentine, GODDARD &
Valentine, on January "a. He said that
he had impressed upon the witness that
only the truth was wanted and that he
had replied that the only reason he
wanted to make the affidavit was be-
cause he had heard the conversation as
sworn to. Mr.. GODDARD said he never
asked for money or remuneration of
any kind, and could assign no reason
why he should have sworn falsely.
In accordance with Judge Hazen's in
structiQns the witness was taken to the
office of the county Jail and held there
until the commitment papers were made
out by County Attorney Jetmore. Later
he was locked up.
While sitting in the Jail office the
young man emphatically denied that
his name was Bradbury, or that he had
ever worked on the Santa Fe. He also
repeated that he had heard the con-
VerSatiOn between the two negroes as
stated in his affidavit. When he was
taken out to find the house mentioned
in his affidavit by Sheriff Cook he To-
Gated it as the Wallace boarding house
across the Santa Fe tracks from the
Santa Fe round house. No one at the
house was able to identify him, al
though it was stated that a girl named
Birdie" and not Bertha" had worked
there during the spring and had re-
evening who talked to her outside. This
was as near to the young mans story
as Sheriff Cook was able to get.
Bradbury, or Nello, is held on the
charge of perjury He stated this af-
ternoon that he did not know what he
would do toward substantiating what
he said on the witness stand. He would
be obliged to do this to clear himself
and if Umpleby'S story is true it will
be impossible for him to do so.
The sensational incident of the morn
ing destroys any hope that the defense
zen by testimony that a new trial for
John Collins was just The attorneys
will now have to depend altogether on
legal arguments.

opinion
The object of the barber bill is to
better the sanitation of the shops anG
prevent the possibility of skin diseases
being spread by careless BARRIERS. Some
of the members of the house, while ia
voring the purposes of the bill, are OPP
posed to the creation of boards. In the
case of the BARRIERS, however, the bar
bers themselves pay all the expense and
salaries of the board, and nothing comes
out of the state funds.

TO RESCUE OF THE SCHOOLS.
Attempt to Injure Kansas Education
al Interests Defeated.

The house has killed the bill limiting
the rate of tax levy in cities for general
revenue and improvement purposes, for
school purposes in both cities and coun-
try districts and for the current eX
penses of counties. The bill cut the
limit down in order to compel assessors
to raise the valuation on property.
Mr.. McKeever Immediately started a
fight on the bill. eff that bill becomes a
law he said, ''it will compel the board
of education of Topeka to close some
of the schools of the city, and already
the schools are OvercrOwded. This bill
limits the levy for educational purposes
in Topeka to five mills on the dollar.
In country districts it is only four
mills"
Mr.. Rinehart said it would close half
the schools in his county, as they usu
ally levied twenty mills, and moved as
an amendment that the levy be made
twenty mills.
Mr. DeRard and Mr.. Fairchild both
spoke against the bill. The latter said
the additions in many towns are all
ready assessed for more than their
value, and he moved to strike out the
enacting clause.
The motion carried, killing the bill.
Mr.. Wiley then prepared resolution
authorizing the governor to appoint a
commission to revise the assessment
and taxation laws, to report at the next
session of the legislature. 1t provided
that each of the three commissioners
should receive So per day, and allowed
them twenty days in which to complete
their work
The resolution was passed today.

STILL THERE Is HOPE.
Life is Infused Into the Barber Bill
Killed by Fraud Before.

There is still hope for the BARRIERS
bill at this session of the legislature
The committee on revision of the cal
endar has decided to advance it to third
reading, and it is proba BILE that it will
again come before the house.
The reason why some of the members
of the house heard from their constit-
uents' with regard to this bill, and then
began to oppose it, has just come to
light. 1t discloses another scheme to
defeat legislation. 1t seems that the
enemies of the bill prepared a bogus
amendment which they sent out to Il
lot of BARRIERS in different parts of the
state where they knew the BARRIERS
would not know any better. and the re-
suit was that they got the BARRIERS so
scared that they began to pour let
tiers in to the legislature asking that
the entire bill be defeated. Here is the
letter that was sent out, including the
amendment:
Dear Sir and Friend:-Having prom
ised the friends of the barber bill or
given them to understand, that 1 would
support the measure, I write you for
your opinion, since the bill has been
amended until I regard it as worthless.
You are aware of the provisions of the
original bill. Doubtless it would have
been of benefit as it was. but section 4
was amended and is now:
Section 4. Before a barber shall be
licensed to practice under the provisions
of this act he shall pay to the secretary
of the state board of examiners the sum

High Schools as Well as Com
mon Schools
Released From the Domination
sOf the Trust.
SCHOOL BOOK TRUST
Had Saved a Vestige of Its
Influence
In the High SchOOls-This Will
Soon Be Gone.
SCHOOL BOOK TRUST

The legislature today removed the
fentacles of the school book trust from
the high schools of Kansas. They were
removed from the common schools two
years ago, but the trust was allowed
TO continue levying tribute from the
patrons of high schools.
When the bill came up in the house a
few days ago all references to hlgn
school books were struck from 1t ana
no debate was allowed. The bill then
applied only to three common SchooI
subjects and was of no benefit to high
schools whatever.
The senate refused to concur in the
house amendments and asked for con-
ference committee on the subject. The
committee was appointed but could not
agree with the senate committee, and a
new one, consisting of Abrams, DeBard
and Seaver, was appointed. This COM
1mittee today recommended that the
house recede from its amendments ana
the report was adopted by a vote of II
TO is, thereby extending the benefits of
the text book bill to high schools.
Dawes and Grattan both vigorously
opposed the report of the committee.
The former said it was a blow at the
high schools of the state.
Gregory, Grosser, Hefiey, Harris.
Mason and McKeever spoke in favor of
the report.
Mr.. Grosser said he opposed uniform
fly two years ago but had changed his
mind and believed it to be an excellent
thing, not only for common schools, but
for high schools as well.
Mr.. Hef1ey said the text book law
was one of the best things for the COM
mon schools the state had ever had and
he was in favor of extending it to the
high schools.
Mr.. MeKeever said: ST voted for
uniformity two years ago and I am
glad to know that that vote has been
indicated. The text book law has
proven such a. success that the political
party which tries to take it from the
statute book imperils its very exist
ence.r
The attempts of some of the members
of the house to compel the house to
strike out the high school provisions,
as told in the State Journal yesterday,
proved a boomerang, and the report of
the conference committees carried with

SEVEN PROPOSALS.
Miss Martha Smith Has Several Offers
of Marriage Before Leaving
For San Francisco.

Kansas City, March 1.-Seven pro-
posals of marriage have been made to
Miss Martha Smith since she was given
judgment for $25, 900 against DR.. Howard
S. Lowry, for breach of promise. All
of them arrived by letter at the Coates
House yesterday before Miss Smith left
Kansas City for San Francisco. She
showed them to a number of women
friends who had called to say good-by,
and they all laughed over them to-
gether.
One letter came from a man in Buff
falo, N. Y. He was so certain that Miss
Smith would accept his proposal that he
had the plans already matured and
kindly outlined them to her.
II want you to put $4,000 into litho-
graphing business with me here" he
said. Il understand it thoroughly and
we can make a good thing of 1t. We
would live at Niagara Falls and l would
never want any of your past to be
known, as my family would not like it. B"
1.-The ideaI" exclaimed Miss Smith, as
she read this aloud. LAS though he
might not have a past himself that it
would be wise to conceal! Isn't it ri
diculous?"
Two of the seven letters were from
men in Buffalo. The other Buffalo man
was milder and less aggressive. He
mOdeStly suggested that lit might be
we'll to meet and become acquainted"
He wanted Miss Smith to join with him
in the establishment of a medical in
stitute at Buffalo. His age was Sc, he
was comely, though not to say irresiSt-
IDLY handsome, and felt sanguinely GER
tain that Miss Smith would like him.
He hoped so, at least, and would sleep
none until he received definite assur-
ance from her hand.
There was no doubling the good faith
of a man in a small Kansas town, who
expressed his sympathy for Miss Smith
and his confidence in her. He had read
the accounts of the trial of her breach
of promise suit carefully, he said, and
saw clearly how she had been deceived
and imposed upon. Then the writer,
who wrote very long letter with APP
parent ease entered upon a philosophi-
cal dissertation in treachery, deception,
infidelity, the baseness of turpitude and
the nobility of virtue.
Besides a heart that was honest and
true, this Kansan admitted that he had
little to offer Miss Smith. If she con-
cluded, after meeting him, that she
preferred not to marry, she might ac-
cept work in his office.
After reading this letter, Miss Smith
said: This is the only one that I feel
certain is in good faith He evidently
means what he says and is interested
in me. The poor, foolish mani"
