The question OF whether the awards
Of the Victoria bench show shall be
recognized in connection with the COM
ing show OF the Seattle Kennel Club is
causing some excitement among dog
fanciers. AS I understand the situation.
the Tacoma Kennel Club has decided to
recognize the wins, but Seattle is still in
doubt.
I do not see how there can be any
question about the matter. The Victoria
club failed to pay its awards. and under
recognized rules the wins cannot be
recognized. There is no such thing as
discretion in the affair. II rules are rules
IT is the duty OF the kennel clubs to live
up to them A case directly in point
was decided last week in New York city
The American Pet Dog Club held a show
and failed TO pay prizes amounting to
5000. The American Kennel Club refused
TO recognize the wins and suspended the
delinquent club.
There was q general exodus SATURDAY
afternoon to the different fishing grounds
in King county. Tackle was sold IN large
quantities during the week. and as a rule
good quality was In demand. The ques-
ticn of whether there are pickerel in Lake
Washington is being thoroughly discussed
Frank A. Steele has the following TO say:
II have fished in Lake Washington for
eight years, and there is not n nook or
corner that have not tried. either with
troll bait OF fly. | have never seen
pickerel nor caught one. do not believe
there is a pickerel in the lake"

crease In the amount OF pugilistic talk
The only subject of general interest is
talk about bringing Fred Russell. who
beat Ike Hayes Thursday night. and Nick

gether in Tacoma or elsewhere II would

FOUR BURNED TO DEATH.
Fire in Pennsylvania Hotel Caused

Fire in Pennsylvania Hotel Causcn
from Natural Gas.
Oswayo, Pa: Four men were burned
TO death in a fire which Sunday destroyed
the McGonigle House, q three story frame
building, the hotel barn and the opera
house. The three buildings were burned
to the ground in half an hour from the
time the fire started. The town has no fire
department, the only protection being a
pump at the tannery. The fire originated
in the McGonigle House from an over
pressure of natural gas. There were
thirty people in the hotel, which was a
flimsy structure. There We're many mar
row escapes, most of the occupants jump
ing from the windows. The flames licked
up the hotel building as if it were built of
finder. Nothing remains of the four un-
fortunate men but IL few charred bones.
One man had a leg broken in jumping and
several others had minor injuries and
slight burns. The tannery employees COM
nected a line of hose to the burning build
ings, but on account of some trouble with
,tthpn'qp there was considerable delay in
getting "a ..ream on the fire and the flames
had got bess9nd control. The property
loss is estimatel\a al 5000.

pcated in the North.
Limon, Colo: Chained to railroad rail,
where his iiendish crime was committed,
Preston Porter. jr., or, as he was Familiarity
known, John Porter, OH the 10th inst,
paid a terrible penalty for his deed.
The train bearing the negro stopped at
the depot ill Limon at $40 p. Ill. Sixteen
men OF the vigilance committee demanded
the prisoner of the sheriff, who fcebly pro-
tested in the name of the law, but his pro-
tests were disregarded.
The eNccutiOners, who numbered about
800 citizens of Lincoln County, had not the
least semblance of an ordinary mob. Their
every act was deliberate and during all
the preparations, as we'll as throughout the
sutferings of the negro, hardly an unneces-
sary word was spoken. Calmly they stood
in Il circle about the fire until the body was
entirely consumed, and then quietly took
their way back to Limon, from whence
they departed for their homes shortly
afterward.
III was 6:25 o'clock when the father OF
the murdered girl touched the match to the
fuel which had been piled around the
negro. and twenty minutes later a last
%cDnyulsive sliuddcr told thai life was en-
tinct. What agony the doomed boy sur-
fered while the flames shriveled up his
flesh could only be guessed from the ter
riple contortions of his face and the cries
he gave from time TO time.

Little Village of Springbrook Torn
UP by Discovery.
Springbrook, Mich: A horrible case of
wholesale body snatching has taken place
in the cemetery here. The evidence points
to the fact that the work was done several
days before discovery, as the eartl, re-
moved from the graves was frozen and the
barren graves were half filled with snow.
Nine bodies, so far as known at present,
were eXhumed and all but one were those
of persons who had died within the last
year. One victim, which is supposed to
have been Mrs. Henry Knowles, although
The body is in such a stage of decomposi-
ton as to be unrccOgnizable, WAS discov-
cred in a hedge fence about a quarter of "a
mile from the cemetery. She died about
five weeks ago.
The cemetery is III isolated spot and it
was not until Isaac Dunton, the sexton,
went to dig Il grave that the discovery was
made. The remnants of the Baskets,
which seemed to have been knocked apart
with an an, were strewn about the grave
ward.

SAY NAME WAS OFFENSIVE.
U. n. of Q. Explain Why Word Ma.
tional Is Expunged from Title.

Montgomery, Ala: The convention of
the United Daughters of the C%onfederacy
was held here. A motion by Mrs. O'Brien
OF Virginia that the organization be not
spoken of as .national," but merely as
"United Daughters of the Confederacy,' -
was adopted. In announcing the motion
as carried President Mrs. Weed said the
word ''national' was offensive to the
Daughters.
Mrs. Weed said there are now 10000
members and over 400 chapters, 1.-The re-
suit of the faithful work of the women of
the south. There are chapters in New
York, Philadelphia, Indian Territory and
Oklahoma" she continued, "and as long
as time endures southern women will stand
first in their devotion to the cause Of the
south and the glorious past"
Mrs. Weed elected applause when she
called upon those present TO educate their
children as true southerners in the full
knowledge of the wal and the causes that
led to it. She said: sThcy should be
taught why their fathers gave up every
thing, even life itself, for the principles
i%nyolved.''

NECK IN N
omcers Take Boy Murderer to a
Place of Safety.

AANCO "a o6ACtye
Denver: The confession of John Porter,
a 16-year-old negro of Lawrence, Kan,
who admitted he assaulted and murdered
Louise Frost, aged II, has been confirmed
by the finding of the girls pocketbook
where Porter said he threw it. p
A dozen citizens of Limon, where the
crime was committed, started for Denver
on the morning train with the avowed pur-
pose of acting as an escort for Sheriff
Freeman and the prisoner on the journey
to the Jail at Hugo. a crowd of excited
men gathered at the city Jail bent upon
lynching Porter, hut the prisoner had been
removed to a place of safety. The officers
refused to say where he was taken. The
crowd was dispersed by a force of police-
men. No resistance was offered.
I.imon, Colo: A mass meeting of citi
zens from all parts of Lincoln County was
held here, and resolutions adopted request
ing Sheriff Freeman TO bring John Porter,
the negro murderer of Louise Frost, to the
county at once. 1t was decided that the
negro shall be hanged, but no torture will
be permitted. An organization was per-
fected, and it was positively asserted that
Porter will be executed when brought to
the county, no odds how long the delay.
1t was learned that Sheriff Freeman had
transferred the prisoner to Denver and
that it was his intention to hold him there
for the present. Much dissatisfaction was
expressed. Friends OF the dead girls
family are deeply incensed against the
sheriff and threats of violence against him
are freely made.

WEEKS HAPPENINGS.
SOUTH DAKOTA EVENTS IN A
CONDENSED FORM.
United States Court to Determine
the Validity OF a Clause in Insure
ance Policies Issued by the Mod.
ern Woodmen OF America.

The regular term of the United States
court is in session at Aberdeen, with Judge
Garland and other federal officials in at
tendance. There are only q few cases to
be disposed of, the most important being q
case brought to determine the validity of a
clause in the insurance policies issued by
the Modern WOOdmen of America, and the
outcome will therefore be OF great interest
to all holders Of policies in that as we'll as
other endowment societies throughout the
United States.
The suit is instituted by Finlay Sinclair,
guardian Of Margaret Richards and Willie
Richards, a minor, and Frank j. Tracy,
guardian of Christian Richards, q minor.
Margaret Richards is the widow of Samuel
Richards, who died at Ipswich, S. d., Dec.
2, 1895. lie held a $1,000 life insurance
policy in the Modern Woodmen Of Amer
lea, the beneficiaries being his wife and
two children mentioned above, and Collin
Richards, who, however, died prior 10
Samuel.
The widow of the latter is an inmate OF
an insane asylum, and the suit is brought
for the purpose of compelling the Modern
Woodmen of America to pay to the guar
dams, for the benefit of the widow and
children, the amount of the policy held by
deceased. The Modern Woodmen declined
to pay the amount of Richards policy, al
leging that he came to his death by a gun
shot wound inflicted by his own hand.
The ground upon which the society refuses
to pay the amount of the policy is the fol-
lowing clause contained in all insurance
policies issued by it:
"If the member holding this certificate
shall be expelled by his local camp 4. .
or shall die in consequence Of a duel, or
by his w hands, whether sane or insane,
. . . then this certificate shall be null
and void, and of no effect: and all moneys
which shall have been paid, and all rights
and benefits which may have accrued on
account of this certificate, shall be abso-
lutely forfeited"
Whether or not such a clause in All i'll
surance policy is valid is the question to he
determined, and tile result Of the trial Of
this case is certain to have u far reaching
effect.

ROB A DAKOTA posroFF,cE
Burglars Blow Open "a Safe at To-
rontO and secure $500.

8ObkNNV . oSSkAuS epN1OOe
Postofice robbers appear to have again
selected South Dakota as their field of
operations after a respite of many months.
A few nights ago the p~ostoffice at Toronto
was robbed, the robbers gaining entrance
through Il rear window. They blew open
the safe and secured stamps and cash to
the value of more than $50. OF the cash
stolen $65 was the personal property Of
Postmaster Emerson. Besides the post
masters loss in money lie has a wrecked
safe. 1t is thought to be the work of experts
who entered the town under the cover of
darkness and left as soon as their task was
completed, thus leaving no clue as to their
identity. The robbery was not discovered
until S O'Clock the following morning,
when Miss Larson, the postmaster's assist
ant. opened the Office for the days BUSH
ness. Edward Lordahr and Almond
Peterson say they heard the sound of heavy
pounding IN the night of the robbery, but
as a livery stable is situated near where
they slept, they concluded the noise was
made by the stamping of the horses hoofs.
Efforts are being made by government
postoffice inspectors to trace and appre-
hend tile thieves, and these may yet prove
successful.
