sIudre HoweIrs First Case.

The complaint was not properly filed and the question of jurisdiction was not raised. It was all over in a few minutes. This is the story as it was told to us:
 One of the Indian ladies who lives down on the beach sOmewheres, had been gazing longingly at shirt waist in the show window of certain store on Front street. Finally she meandered in and asked the price, which was 75 cents, and concluded to purchase. But the honest storekeeper told her that it would not fit her; that it was too small. She insisted, however, and by the power of her argument secured the shirt waist. She went home; tried it on-too small, of course. She came back to return that shirt waist after mauling it around for several hours in her vain endeavor to get into it; but Mir. Storekeeper bucked and she natur ally appealed to she law. Judge Howell is the only personifcatiOn of law and order on the Island and some one directed her to him. When the Judge heard the case his verdict was immedi- ately forthcoming and it was, 1.-Two nights in-jail, or two shirt waists. The storekeeper thought it had ended in joke, but Mrs. Indian felt called to execute the judgment of the court at once. She bought dollars worth of calico, and seizing the bundle and the shirt waist, she plunked aquarter down on the counter and struck out for her home with smile of appreciation for the justice meted oU. tc her by his honor, the Judge.

charged mileage for guards to take
prisoners to the penitentiary who
had never performed that duty,
but in addition, his Office received
SI25 reward for the capture of

Now comes the sheriff with two
checks, one for the SI25 and the
other for overcharge on mileage

matter" and virtually states that
no further steps will be taken
against Sheriff Speck.
To the initiated this looks like
compromising felony on the part
of the prosecuting attorney, but
to the man who can read between
the lines, it means that compro-
mise between the two warning fac
tons of the republican party has
been reached which will result in
several changes being made in the

out of the way and the prospective

RATHER A CURIOUS MIXTURE.

Some time ago Sheriff Speck,
OF Spokane county, resigned his
office, giving as a reason therefor
that private interests demanded
his entire attention. His resigna-
ton was accepted by the county
commissioners who appointed
Charles Cole to the position thus
made vacant. So far SO good
but Chairman Harrison, of the re-
publican central committee APP
peared upon the scene and,
strange to say, demanded an in
vestigation of the sheriff's official
conduct. When the matter first
became public Sheriff Speck
courted an investigation, saying
that he had nothing to fear and
that an examination of his books
would show that his record was
clear. Well, the examination was

THE SPLIT WIDENING.


That the dissension and dis
satisfaction in the republican ranks
is increasing is proven by the num-
Der of prominent men of that par
ty who are daily airing their views
for the benefit of the public. The
latest one to express himself is
Hon. O. S. Tousley, U. S. Consul
to Trieste and Leipsic under Gar
field, and prominent Minnesota
republican, who is quoted in the
following arched English:
"Among eastern people there is
great opposition to the growing
strength of trusts and DISPOSE
ton to blame Mckinley and the
party. New Jersey has, through
its favorable legislation, permitted
incorporation of various kinds
since Jan. I, 1899, whose combined
capital is upwards of So, 900, 900,
900, a startling state of affairs to
say the least. That state is able to
produce almost its entire necessary
revenue from the fees received
from this business, and to render
its citizens practically free from
any taxation.
"Another thing that will initiate
against our party is the war in the
Philippines. If something is not
speedily accomplished over there,
it is bound to increase the dissat-
isfaction that already exists.
"The democratic nominee will
be Bryan, He is irresistible and
popular idol. That he is a
brainy, well informed man is con-
coded by republicans and demo
Gratis alike. The race between
he and Mckinley will be close
one
And the Salt Lake Herald asks
care the only patriots in this
country those republicans who sit
at the feet of Hanna to be taught
the principles of good government
and Christian charity? And those
democrats who shrink at the whip
of imperialism and allow the
threats of subsidized press to in
t1uence their opinions?"
THE dissatisfied democrats of
Kentucky who have nominated
ohm Young Brown for governor
have taken step which, whatever
its results to the opposing demo-
cratic gubernatorial candidate,
gives assurance of the election of
United States Senator in full
sympathy with every plank of the
Chicago platform. The contest

vote, and as both Goebel and
Brown men will support the same
Legislative candidates, the election
of democratic legislature seems
certain. Bolts are usually disas-
trous. That in Kentucky promises
to be blessing.

said should he perpetuated in the ma

HE PATH ACROSS TIE FIELDS.

Around me was the beauty
Which only summer yields
The shadow of the woodland.
The bounty of the fields
The CLEAN of shining waters,
Tho murmur of the sea-
Tire varied book of nature,
All opened wide for mel
Amid these scenes of beauty
l spied pathway there,
All ilowerless and dusty,
All hard and brown and bare.
No dainty gown swept over,
No foot in dalliance strayed
Along the narrow limit
The tread of toll had made.
But weary men and women
At morn and eve did pass
Beside the way unshaded,
Amid the sunburnt grass.
Their step was slow and heavy;
Their garments bore the soil
OF the hard worlds grim workday.
They walked the way of toll.
30 close against our pleasure
Is the undertone of care,
OF those who all unsheltered,
The heat and burden bear,
And the fair summer memory
Sweet harvest to me yields.
Yet ever lives the picture
or the path across the feldsi

AT last President Mckinley has
expressed his views on the Philip
pine question. In an address to
the Tenth Pennsylvania Volunteers
who have just returned he said,
speaking of the Filippinos, ''they
assailed our sovereignty and there
will be no useless parley, no pause
until the instruction is suppressed
and American authority acknowl-
edged and established. This is
the most direct language the pres
ident has used since the beginning
of the war.

Mr.. Brown urges that some form of
organization be consummated among
the farmers of the county at the ses-
sion of the Institute to be held on the
above date.
While Mr.. Brown does not suggest
how the organization be effected we
have no doubt that those who attend
the meeting will evolve some plan
whereby the condition of the farming
class may be better subserved by or
ganizing and becoming better ac-
quainted with the plans now in oper-
alton among considerable number
of the farmers in different sections of
the county. 1t is particularly desir-
able that the northern portions of the
county be well represented at the
meeting and that sufficient interest
be felt to insure its success.

This question has been propounded
for years past and up to the present
time no one has been able, seemingly,
to make an answer.
The town to-day, in q business sense,
is in a deplorable condition. There is
nothing here to put money in circu-
lation and nothing ahead that will
better the condition except the few
visitors who come here and spend a
month or two during the Summer
The amount of money spent by them
is comparatively nothing. There is
not an industry of Importance EN-
ploying more than two or three men
within the limits of the town and no
prospects of any being established.
A factory employing the year round
fifty Or a hundred men, paying living
wages, would do mach to better the
condition of things. 1t would have
the effect to boom business, give our
carpenters and all classes of labor
employment, put money in circula-
ton, create a demand for building
lots and increase our population Won
derfully.
While other towns all around us
are forging ahead Oakland is taking a
backward step. In the towns referred
to business goes along day in and day
out, month after month and year af-
ter year. Everybody is prosperous
and happy, earning an honest living,
are neighborly and kind, indeed the
very air in such places is permeated
with happiness while here a dark and
dingy cloud is overspreading us.
What is the remedy? Can anyone
make a suggestion? Our columns are
open to all.
