Miss Cooley's Painting.

If we knew anything of paintings,
or how to describe them we would
say something deservedly nice
about painting being furnished by
Miss EvaCooley. We don't know the
name of the picture even, but it is
of an Irish Setter, with a hare in
his mouth. The back ground is Just
the kind to give the picture a fine
setting. The attitude of the dog
his raised head, expression of ex
pectancy and satisfaction, as he
retrieves the game is true to life,
and especially to those who are fond
of field-sport. Miss Cooley has been
taking lessons from Miss Annie
Wingo, for only a short time. and
such work as this reflects great
credit upon the skill and intelligen,
application Of both teacher and
pupil.

How He Met His Death.

Some Particulars of the Sad
Affair.
We ale indebte d to Mr.. L. j. Ware
of Pocahontas for letter containing G
a detailed account of the death of
w, w. French in Alaska on March
Sth. This letter was written by Mr.
j. III. Hoagland, who we mt with Mr.
French to the Klondike. We regret
that the length of this letter forbids
its publication in full. We give a
few extracts ED.
Mr.. French started across Valdes
Glacier from Klutina lake on Mon
day morning with dog and sled after
a load of goods. On Tuesday night
he had reached the foct of the Gla-
cier, where he spent the night. On
Wednesday morning he started up
the Summit From the foot to the
top is s or 8 miles, and some places
very steep. The weather was beau.
titul clear and warm.
However, when he reached the
top a dreadful wind was blowing.
The Glacier over the other side very
steep--about 45 degrees. The snow
was as slippery as glass, aud it is
supposed that Mr.. French, endeavor-
ing to descend fell against his sled,
or on the hard ice, and was render
ed unconscious, and froze to death
before he came to. His body was
blown far out of the trail, as parties
coming behind him saw no signs of
him or sled. His dog was found next
day several miles below badly frozen.
French,s body was -four d accidently
by one Charles Anderson, near the
foot of the Summit, on March 18th,
six days after his death. Anderson
brought the body in OH the 18th.
The body was decently aud reveren t
ly buried 10y the Masons, aud Tia e
grave marked and inscribed with his
name on the headboard and IL
square and compass. From the iet
ter of Mr.. Hoagland we infer that
some steps may be taken TO have the
body taken to Seattle embalmed
and shipped home.

when Walker shot Hamilton he
(Hamilton) was sitting down with
his hands on his knees, in the act of
rising, when Walker shot him.

fed to about same as Judge Rhea,

after shooting Hamilton turned on
him, Davisl with his arm raised with
a pistol in his hand,and thinking that
Walker was going to shoot him,
he drew his pistol and shot Walker
twice. The testimony of Davis was
corroborated by other witnesses.
The case was given to the jury

which Walker swore as to having O
dirk on his body the night of the
shooting.

Talks EaeertalE'-l,y Of Them.
In the opinion y Congressman
VIM. S. Cowhesd, the intended
resignation Of Speaker Thos B.
Reed and his Forthcoming removal
to New York city are for these
reasons:
A desire to escape being driven
into open opposition TO the presi-
dents foreign policy, which would
kill Speaker Reed politically at
this time,
A plan to become identified as
citizen Of New York and to go into
the next Republican national con-
vention as a presidential candidate,
in the event sentiment in the party
against imperialism assumes large
proportions, which Mr.. Cowherd
thinks it will.
A wish to increase his personal
income, not being a wealthy man,
and a conclusion that $4,000 a
year with law firm is better than
So, 900 annually as congressman,
when the opportunity to be groom
ed as a candidate for the presidency
is much better in the former case.
There is every reason to be-
lieve the report that Speaker Reed
will leave Congress" said Con-
gresham Cowherd.
He makes no bones OF his OPP
position to the presidents foreign
policy. A man of Reeds tempara-
ment simply couldn remain in his
position long. He is the most
prominent Republican today who
opposes the administration in its
scheme Of imperial aggrandize
ment. If the Mckinley admins
tration is wrecked on that rock he
will be the logical man in the party
to lead the remnants and weld the
party together

discussing an Indian Territory
bill he was interested in: We are
so damned busy legislating for the
niggers of the universe that we
haven't time or money for our
own people. and cant take care of
them. Another time there was a
bill to appropriate money for the
