The contest case OF Seth Warren VS.. II .
b. Martin for the office of county auditor
came up for hearing before Judge
Hodgdon, Monday, and, at the prelm-
mary bout, Martin drew first blood
Martins attorney, J. G. Cross, picked the
complaint to pieces, and the contestant
had to ask permission to amend. After
the complaint was amended the case was
boiled down to the following points: The
question of eligibility of Martin; the H.
legality of the East Montesano election ;
irregularity of returns from several
country precincts, and whether the judges
of election counted votes Wrongfully for
Martin. The amended complaint will
be answered Saturday, when time will
be called on the second round.
The elocutionary entertainment, given
in the Congregational church Tuesday
evening for the benefit of the high school,
by Miss Lottie l.. Tillotson, OF st. Paul,
met with fair attendance, considering
the farewell party that took place that
evening, and more disappointing enter
tainment is difficult to CONCEIVE Of, and
disgust was depicted on the countenances
OF the audience, and all felt like demand
ing their money back at its close. The
evolutionary powers Of Miss Tillotson
would not be regarded as worthy of
praise in pupil in the fourth grade of
the public school. Her few selections
were uninteresting, her speech SO low as
to be unheard in the center OF the house
and her articulation very indistinct.
Taken in all it was about the bumest
performance ever given in Aberdeen,
and that is saying great deal.

Alhambra Tul kish Baths.

The establishment OF the Alhambra
Turkish Baths, by Prof. S. +. Mann,
marked a step in the progress Of Aber-

fitting up the establishment, the equip

CHARGED WITH MURDER.
The CorOner's Jury Finds That Louis
Larsen Met His Death at the Hands
Of Thomas Russell.

Coroner A. X. Bush held an inquest
yesterday, in the council chamber, on
the body of Louis Larsen, the sailor who
died OF knife wounds received in an ARRAY
in the Owl saloon ON Tuesday morning,
December 4, and the jury returned a
verdict charging one of the men arrested
at the time, Thomas Russell, with the
crime OF murder.
The inquest occupied nearly the entire
day, the verdict being rendered at
o'clock p. m. The following is the names
of the jurymen: J. W. Birmingham, J.
$: Rasor, A. H. Wood, A: l.. Fitzgerald,
Phillip Davis and F. w. Ingalls,. AS
published in the HERALD last week, there
were three men implicated in the stab
bling, and one of them escaped the other
two, giving their names as Thomas Rus
sell and James Riley, were placed on the
witness stand yesterday, and admitted
of the stabbing with Larsen, but denied
having used a knife. Both claimed that
the cutting was done by the man that
escaped, whose name they gave as Wood.
The night bartender at the Owl saloon
told of the row between the three hobos
and the deceased. The three men got
up fight with Larsen, who whipped all
three of them, but he could not say
which man used the knife. Larsen had
been drinking freely all night.
Marshals Pearson and Grant testified
to the arrest of Riley and Russell, that
they were covered with blood when taken
and that they pretended to be very much
under the influence of liquor, and claimed
| to lave no remembrance OF the affray in
the saloon.
The ante-mortem declaration of Larsen
was read to the jury, in which, a few
moments before his death. he positively
identified Russell as the man who stabbed
him, although when first taken to the
hospital his recollection of the affair was
rather hazy. This statement rendered
it impossible for the jury to do otherwise
than bring in the verdict as stated.
Marshal Pearson took both prisoners
to Montesano yesterday evening, and
turned them over to Sheriff Huff. In
formations will be lodged in the superior
court charging Russell with the murder,
and Riley with being accessory.

BUTTONS AND SONGS
Popularity of One at the Expense Of
the other I'm Political
Campaigns.

Some inquiry was made during the
recent campaign in New York and else
where as to what had become of the
campaign songs. Neither the republic
ans nor the democrats went to the trou-
BILE of employing professional poet,
says the Sun 1t was evident that cam
paign poetry was on the wane, and un-
less there is revival next year in the
presidential campaign political song
writing will become almost lost art.
One reason which may, in part. at least,
account for this is the fact that during
former political campaigns the most
popular songs which were altered or
parodied to suit party requirements
were usually of a sentimental or pathet-
ic character, whereas the songs now
most popular and most generally IA
miliar are negro songs of jocose
character, which give little opportunity
for effective political changes.
Campaign songs in presidential cleo
lions have come to be regarded as al,
most as essential as campaign speeches.
and ordinarily the national committees
of the rival parties Lave special depart
ments for the employment, compensa-
ton and disposal of glee clubs and
singing quartettes. This is especially
true of the republicans. who have in all
recent national elections utilized, es-
pecially in the west, this feature of
modern campaigning. The Importance
Of such songs, however, has been
eclipsed by the greater popularity, as
a symbol of political allegiance, of cam
paign badges and buttons, the use of
which has become so general. and the
expense of which has been so much re-
duced that the.song writer's occupation
is nearly gone.

The Pay Of Actors Varies frOm Ten
to Twelve Dollars to an Much
as $500 Per Week.

Franklin Fyles, writing of THE The
ter and Its People, in Ladies Home
Journal, touches interestingly upon the
earnings of actors, and corrects the Oft
repeated reports of the enormous earn
ings of players. Salaries vary with cir
cumstances," he says. "The manager
may find at $25 week player whose
moderate talent exactly fits part of
considerable Importance. He may have
to pay $3.50 if the role is singular and fit
candidates scarce. If he wants celeb
rity in addition to ability he may be
willing to make the salary $500 week.
In that case he takes into account the
public value of the name and makes a
feature of it in his advertisements. Not
more than ten actors in America, aside
from the stars, receive as much as $3.50
a week, and not more than five actresses
are paid this amount. In fact. $3.50 a
week is exceptional, and 500 will en-
gage an excellent hero or heroine, fine
comedian or a delineator of eccentric
character. The wages run down to $75
for soubrette, ingenue or old man, to
$50 for an old woman, juvenile man or
juvenile woman, and so along to utility
and chorus men and women at $12 to SIS
a week. Those are the. wages of thor
oughly competent actors in companies
of good grade"

And since that day, now several years
ago, he has not uttered word.
