Movement to Erect ;s Statue Fai1en.
 The movement to erect statue ia memory of Cromwell at Huntingdon, England, where he was born has ig- nominiously failed. The mayor of the borough, Lord Sandwich recently in- formed the town council that of the subscriptions which had been received only two reached two figures. These were the subscription of Lord Ripon and himself. Independently of these two sums, the total was under fifty pounds. Only five dollars had been raised in America. There was not one subscriber in the borough of Hunting don, and only two or three from the county About twenty or thirty small sums had been received in England and America, and, as the local committee had done all 1t could, it was now time, after four months, to close the matter, He suggested that the best thing would be to return the money to the subscrib- CTS. and this course was decided upon.

AN EARLY PIONEER CONF.
Hon. John Campbell. a Highly Respected
Pioneer OF 1859, Died at MOntesano.
sunday Evening. The Funeral
Took Place Yesterday,

The early pioneers OF Washington are
fast passing to the great beyond, and ere
many years the restless explorers, who
blazed the pathways through the then
wilderness to the present state OF WASH
ington, will, in the course of nature,
have crossed the great divide.
On Sunday, December 8, 1900, at $3.50
p. m. Hon. John Campbell, an esteemed
citizen of Chehalis county, died at his
late residence in Montesano, aged 20
years, 5 months and days. The funeral
took place yesterday from the residence
of II. Nj. Sutton, son-in-law of the de-
ceased, and the remains were followed
by large number OF friends to their last
resting place in the Montesano cemetery.
His wife and three children, Fred L.,
William Duncan and Miss Agnes Camp
bell survive to mourn the loss of loving
husband and kind indulgent father.
John Campbell was born in Scotland,
July 5, 1890. His parents died when he
was quite young, and, at II years OF age
he went to sea, sailing from GLASGOW:
Fifteen months afterwards he returned
to Lett having circumnavigated the
globe. He continued to follow the sea
for seven years, serving in every capacity
from cabin boy to first mate. His last
voyage was to Bombay, and while ON the
passage home from that port, he called
at the island of st. Helena where he
learned OF the Australian gold dlscov-
cries, and on reaching Liverpool he re-
signed his commission and started to
Australia, where he was engaged IN MIN
ing for the next seven years. Hearing
OF the discovery OF gold on Eraser river
he determined to try his luck i'll America,
! in,
and continued northward to Olympia.
Noting the agricultural possibilities OF
this country, he concluded to abandon
his mining projects and settled upon
government land near Kamilche, Mason
county, and sent for his sweetheart, Miss
Mary Duncan, a Scotch girl with whom
he had become acquainted i'll Melbourne,
Australia, and was married on May ~,
! 1860. For the next twenty years they
resided on the Kamilche farm, Mr..
! Campbell varying his work by teaching
| school at times. In 1880 they exchanged
/ this property for a farm in this county,
near Summit, where they lived until
1888, when the family moved to Elma
and Mr.. Campbell engaged in mercantile
business. In 1892 they moved to Monte
sano, where he lived retired life, de-
voting himself to the care OF his wife,
who has been an invalid since 1884.
Although in no sense Of the word a
politician, Mr.. Campbell was frequently
selected by his fellow citizens to fill posi-
tons of trust, and, in Mason county, was
county commissioner for two terms, and
served as school superintendent: In
Chehalis county he filled the office OF
probate Judge, and was several, times
elected justice of the peace for Monte
sano. He was staunch member OF the
PRESBYTERIAN church, and a member OF
the Orders OF Good Templars and Odd
Fellows.

day. He expects to return. to that city
soon and 60 into business.
There is talk of extending the sidewalk
ON 5th and 9th streets, north to the rail-
road track. 1t would be a much needed
improvement.
The fact that both of the sample rooms

how business in Elma is rushing.

exploded, would have made Elmaites
think the world had got the jiggers.

COUNTY ATTORNEYS BLUNDER
VIII Cost Innocent Iitigants Several
Hundreds of Dollars. They VIII Try
to Recover From His Bonds.

Holders of about 46 delinquency tax
certificates, which had been foreclosed
months ago, have wondered why they
did not receive their deeds to the prop
erty covered by them. They had paid
the ~ court fees in each case and had
the summons duly published, and, as the
cases went by default, they have been
long since entitled to judgment, and q
deed from the county treasurer.
The cause of this delay lies in the fact
that Judge Hodgdon refuses to sign the
judgments, he holding that the sum-
monses in those cases, as published, to
have been defective, and that a judgment
signed thereon would be invalid. County
Attorney Abel, who prepared the papers
in these cases, as required by law, argued
that the form OF summons was all right,
but the court declined to take the re-
sponsibility OF signing what might prove
to be invalid judgments, and suggested
a friendly application to the supreme
court for q writ Of mandate, requiring
him to sign them, and in that short way
determine the validity OF the summonses.
To this Deputy County Attorney Brewer
readily assented, and an interested party,
plaintiff in several OF the cases, agreed
to stand the expense, and authorized
Mr.. Brewer to proceed in his name,
which he agreed to do.
To this individuals surprise he was in
formed by Mr.. Brewer, two weeks later
when he supposed the matter was al
ready before the supreme cOurt-that
Mr.. Abel declined to take the cases to
the upper court, and that these cases
would have to be recommended, new fill
ing fees paid, and another publication Of
the summons paid for. We have not
been able to learn the reasons of the
county attorney for refusing to go to the
supreme court, and can only surmise
that, becoming aware OF the weakness OF
his contention, he did not require the
confirmation OF the supreme court to con-
vince him of it. Meanwhile, through
this blundcr OF the county attorney, the
plaintiffs in those cases are out about
800 in court fees and publishers bills.
An effort will be made to hold the attor-
ney responsible on his official bond for
the damages sustained. sssSa5

GERMAN OFFICERS PAY.
Teutonic Naval Commanders Receive
Less Than Their british
Contemporaries.

II will be interesting IL we compare
the status and pay of German officers

British marine, says Leisure Hour A
! German admiral of the feet receives
e 600 per annum, free furnished
house, firing and light ESQ for car
riage hire, and table money and allow
ances, an additional 5000. His total
income, therefore, is C $50 per annum.
A British admiral on the home com
mand receives from f3,420 to 1907
The German captains salary is G 800,
that Of the Englishman C 41O to 2620.
A German lieutenant in command has
6 105, an English lieutenantin the same
position R2ot toe274. x chief inspect
or of machinery afoat in the British
fleet has $50, in Germany only C $500.
A British feet surgeon has R493 to
aG02, German e30O. 1t will thus be
seen that the British officers, all
through, are in better pecuniary po-
sition than those in the German fleet.
German marine officers are usually
taken from the same rank as in Eng
land.
Before becoming a midshipman, or
sea cadet, as he is called in Germany,
the youth who intends to devote him
self to the navy must be able to pass
satisfactory examination on the level
TO which fifth-form boy at an Eng
lish public school has attained. His
first years service is spent in study and
military exercises on shore, the study
of the English language being prom
inent part of his work. He is then
placed ON training ship for year,
and after passing satisfactory exam
ination he is removed to the marine
school for another year. The technical
knowledge obtained here is then EN-
ployed for two years at sea, and should
the candidate for the naval profession
prove himself competent he is pro-
NOTED at the end of these two years to
the rank Of lieutenant. During the first
ten years of German naval officers
career his income falls short of his ex-
penditure by sum Of C 500; that is to
say, In addition to his pay he requires,
on an average, E so year to keep him.

penditure Of an officer in addition to
