APPROVE THE TICKET.
Northwestern Republicans I'm Line
for Candidates Named at Tacoma.

The Republicans OF the Northwestern
counties are lined up soiidly for the Re-
publican ticket named at Tacoma. ac-
cording to the statements made last night
by Hugh Eidridge, one of the Republican
leaders Of Whatcom county. Mr.. Eldridge
Is postmaster at New Whatcom and has
resided in Whatcom county for many
years. He said last night:
''Whatcom county will give the state
ticket nominated at Tacoma a majority
unprecedented I'm the history OF the state.
The selection Of Senator Frink, OF King
county, as the gubernatorial candidate. Is
approved by the masses of the Re-
publicans of Whatcom county. He has
many friends in our section OF the state
Both Congressman Cushman and Jones
viii come out of the Northwest with SUBJ
stantial maJoritfes.
"The Republicans are united for their
ticket, while on the other hand the fu-
sionists are contending with fractional DIFF
ferenees. In my opinion the nomination
OF Governor Rogers by the Democratic
convention makes certain the election of
every man on the Republican state
ficket.'

CHILDREN BURIED ALIVE.

A sad fatality occurred in Ionia last
week Wednesday by which two young
lads, aged and years, lost their
lives. They were sons OF Mrs. Mar
garet Emmons, widow, and left home
about 10 o'clock that morning to play.
They went TO a sand bank commonly
known as the ''hog's back" and just
how soon thereafter the cave-in
occurred which buried them alive no
one knows but it was probably soon.
Nothing was thought OF their nom
appearance at dinner as they some
times went to a relatives but supper
time and darkness coming caused
alarm and search was instituted. 1t
was about $40 when they were found.
They were not covered very deeply
but both had their hands in their poe
kets which would indicate that it came
upon them without the least warning
and in that position we're unable to
help themselves The mother has four
children yet living, two OF them mar
ried.
