Hotel Holocaust.

Poplar Bluff, Mo-, Nov. 12.-Hemmed
IN by flames III the upper stories OF the
Clifford house, an old frame structure
that burned like finder, a number of
persons were burned or suffocated tn
death, Others leaped from windows and
suffered the loss of limbs and other in
Iurles, from which some died and only one
or two OF the 45 sleeping guests got ont
without injury, and none saved any,
Chlng but the nightclothes that were
worn at l2:3O, when the alarm was
gwen. -Four are known to be dead. one
is missing, three are fatally injured and
more than 20 are burned or otherwise
hurt. In the halls of the hotel dozen
or more persons were overcome by heat
and smoke, and this leads to the belief
That the loss OF life will be much greater
than Is now known. There are a num-

Barbed Wire Telephone.

The farmers OF the Walla Walla val
ley are said to be successfully using
their barbedwire fences for telephone
conductors. Nine miles of telephone is
being operated along a barbed wire
fence. There are no insulatOrs being
used and the line is doing good work
and the results are satisfactory. Sew
eral farmers who desired to be brought
into closer communication with each
other procured the ordinary receivers
and transmitters and attached them to
lines OF barbed wire strung on common
cattle proof fence of the variety that is
IN general use among stockmen. The
wire is nailed to the fence posts in the
ordinary way with staples and no effort
to lnsulate the wire was made. Where
roads had to be crossed poles we're set in
the ground on either side and the wires
strung in this manner sufficiently high
to insure safety from passing vehicles.
This line has been in operation for sew
eral weeks and so far there has been no
break in the communication bv reason
OF grounded" wires or other causes
that would seem impossible to avoid. 1t
ls OF great benefit to those who employ
1t and they say that within the next few
years all the farmers in the country will
be employing similar means of com

FOR GOOD OF THE PARTY.
John L.. Wilson Bids Adieu to Po-
litical Leadership.

Spokane, Wash, Nov. 11.-Jobn T..
Wilson, ex-United States senator, at one
time leader OF the republicans OF Wash
lngt0n and dispenser of federal patron
age, Is out OF the political game. He
formally announced Saturday night at
a meeting OF former lieutenants of the
wilson ring that he would not seek DO
lItlcal office again in Washington; that
be would no longer be found among the
leaders OF his party; that he would re-
tire to the ranks Of workers, realizing
that bis term of usefulness as q leader
was over. With tears in his ewes he con-
cuded short speech by bidding a DO
litical farewell to a small coterie of his
chlef assistants, and the chief assistants
also dissolved in tears.
1t had been given out that the private
meeting was to talk over political plans
for the future. Mr.. Wilson's announce
ment was the only speech made, and
When ne finished the little party dis
banded. Among those present at the
farewell party were: ". H. Ludden,
register OF the land Office; S. A. Wells,
receiver of the land office; Jack Wilmot,
proprietor OF the Wilmot saloon; Arthur
j. Shaw, receiver of the First National
and Citizens National Banks; Charles
Hopkins, district manager OF the Inland
Telephone 4 Telegraph Company; Eugene
b. hyde, superintendent of forest re-
serves; Milard T. Harrison, ex candidate
for superior Judge; Captain Joe Moore.
secretary OF the republican county CEN
trail committee; j. W. Merritt, ex-candi-
date for the Sd distrist Herman D..
crow, senator-elect from the 4th dis
trict; Wallace Mount, supreme Judge
elect; X. d. Speck, ex-sheriff of Spokane
county; Joseph Wilson, collector of in
ternal revenue; Harry Humphreys.
alloting agent for the ColviIle Indians,
and Others.
Elk Senator Wilson created a sensa-
ton when he made his declaration of re-
tirement. He reviewed at some length
the work OF the republican party in this
state and referred to his own share in
the political battles He said the recent
election had convinced him that it was
better for the party for him to sacrifice
his political ambitions and become an
earnest worker in the ranks. The onIy
regret he had concerning the election
was that some of his friends had been
defeated through their supposed allegi-
ance TO him, as he realized that this pre-
sumed allegiance had been the cause OF
their defeat.
Mr.. Wilson repudiated the accusations
OF any combination between himself and
Ex-Governor McGraw, and said he had
no political talks with that gentleman
looking to future coalition OF interests.
de mentioned the fact that he was the
owner OF a newspaper which was paying
him fair income, and that he would
consequently lose nothing financially By
retiring. He said he should always be
with the party in its work. but would
never again seek political Office in Wash
lngton. He said he would use his pri-
vate influence against Levi Ankeny and
Others who had been responsible for the
failure OF bis party's best efforts in the
political battles OF the year.

CAME TO STANDSTIL|y
Judge Jacobs Sustained De-
murrer of Mcdonald.
Sunday Opening Cases Dismissed
Records Were Made and
Then Remade.

The celebrated case of Judge Melon
aid, wherein he was charged by j. E.,
Nessly, correspondent of the Spokesman-
Review, with an attempt to incite Win
keech to swear falsely against Nessly by
testifying that he was implicated in the
stealing of a small band of cattle from
Ben Manchester three or four years ago,
came to standstill in the superior
court Wednesday morning. Judge
Jacobs of Seattle presided and sustained
the demurrer of the DEFENDANTS counsel,
who cOntended that the information did
not set forth facts constituting a crime.
1t was cOntended by the defense that no
actual crime had been committed, even
II the allegations made by the prOsecu-
ton were true, for the reason that Ness
ly was not actually charged with the
crime in QUESTION at the time alleged, and
that to commit or inclte to commit per-
jury can only become crime when the
action Is relative to case actually at
issue. 1t was on this ground that Judge
Jacobs sustained the demurrer. Whether
or not the case will be carried up by the
prosecution Is not now known.
The defense strenuously objected to Nj.
.. Reed appearing as assistant counsel
for the state. Three or four affidavits
we're filed by those interested setting
out that he had consulted with Melon
aid about the matter more than year
ago and had offered to defend him. This
Mr.. Reed, by affidavit, denied in toto.
However, the court ruled that he could
not appear.
Mcdonald was represented by j. T.
Brown, c. Nj. Wyman, Thos. Neil and
John Pattison.
Saloon Cases Dismissed.
The cases against Dan Binnard and P.
Lefrancis, arrested three months ago on
charges of keeping their saloons open on
Sunday, we're neatly thrown out OF
court because they had not, as is pre-
scribed by law, been tried within sixty
days. Why this was not done is an in
teresting little story. When they were
arraigned August Is Judge Mcdonald
set their cases down for trial for Novem-
Der II, nearly 80 days ahead. The rec
ord order, as made by Judge Mcdonald
on the day of arrangement, did not show
that this placing OF the cases more than
90 days in advance was by the consent
of the defendants. This, properly done,
would have saved the states right to
prosecution after 60 days. Without it
there could be no result but a dismissal.
Those interested in keeping saloons
closed on Sundays were well aware of
this fact, and Rev. j. W. Flesher, repre-
senting the Anti-Saloon League, went
to Judge Mcdonald and expostulated
against his action in placing the cases
in such condition as to bar prosecution.
Then Judge Mcdonald did a peculiar
thing to appease the wrath of the anti
saloon people. Four or five days after
he called Deputy Clerk Kennedy to his
private room, with his book of records,
and there ordered the interlineation OF
these words in the record: cat request
of defendant by his counsel 1t was
generally understood that there had
been no such request, but Judge Nc

Donald said so and in it went.
But when the case came up for trial. ! .
L. Brown, attorney for the defense,
pleaded the bar TO prosecution because
trial was not had within the statutory
90 days. The court ordered stricken
from the records the words Eat request
OF defendant by his counsel" because of
mistake" in inserting them. Thus
the cases were left barred from prosecu-
ton, and Judge Jacobs could not do
otherwise than dismiss them.
Declared Insane,
Godfred Closner, who has been in Jail
SIX weeks on a charge OF stealing 60
sacks of oats from j. O. Cooper near
johnson, was Tuesday declared insane
by a lunacy commission composed of
DR.. j. ID. Mclean, superintendent of the
Medical Lake asylum for insane, and DR..
/. ID. Ferguson. DR.. Mclean testified
that he had ClOsner under his charge at
the asylum for three years and dis
charged him last July as improved only
The doctor says the cause of insanity is
a depression in the skull, caused by an
accidental blow from an ak in the hands
OF brother when they were children, and
that he will never be entirely rational,
though having his lucid intervals. Clos
ner will be returned to Medical Lake.

WAGGAMAN's REQUEST DENIED
Drainage Notices Against Property
Owned by Him to Stand.


The Commissioners recently received a
letter from Thomas E. Waggaman, of OH
Street northwest. requesting that the
drainage notices issued by the Health De-
partment against certain property owned
by him in Southwest Washington be ex-
tended for one year.
The houses were built" he says, ITO meet
the wants of class OF persons who, in
order to be able to, support their families.
must find accommodations at a very low
rate, and the homes they find here cost
them 50 month, and at the same time
enable them to live comfortably.
The property abuts upon the old canal,
and there is no one in the vicinity who
could be injured in health or property by
the continuance of outhouses as they now
stand. 1t is apparent that to do the work
required by the Health Department would
be only the beginning of expense. mas
much as ashes, rags, and other material, as
experience shows, by the carelessness OF
tenants, are allowed to choke the pipes,
rendering it necessary to make repairs
nearly every week. The total cost IF in
PRODUCING this work would be about 81, 600
more than the property is worth.
Under these circumstances / respectful
ly ask that you will let the matter s,fld
for year from this date, upon my under
taking at that time either to have the work
done or to have the houses removed
Commissioner Mcfarland has recon-
mended to his associates that Mr.. Wagga-
man be informed of the substance of a
report by the Health Officer, and that he be
advised that the Commissioners deem it to
be inexpedient to make an exception in the
case of his property, which would prove a
precedent for many others. 1t is under
stood that the other Commissioners will
acquiesce in the view taken by the Presi-
dent of the Board

DOGS IN BRooKLAND.
A Complaint That Unlicensed CANNES
Run mt large.

Charles H. Cox, Of Brookland, recently
wrote to the Commissioners, complaining
Of the large number of untagged and I'M
licensed dogs in that part of the District.
If mistake not" says Mr.. Cox, 1.-THE law
requires that owners OF dogs residing with
in the District limits shall have said ca
mines properly muzzled and tagged"
Mr.. Cox informs the Commissioners that
the village Of Brookland is Overrun with
unmuzzled and untagged Gogs, some fami-
lies having as many as three or four, which
run at large without any protection what
ever to pedestrians, and he adds that
these animals have become a great annoy
ance to the residents of the place.
The complaint having been referred to
the poundmaster for investigation, Mr..
Einstein now reports: THE dog wagons
have visited Brookland as often as circum-
stances would permit and on each occasion
several dogs were impounded. We will
continue to go there as often as possible
and will impound all the dogs found run
ming at large contrary to law.
I'm connection with this complaint
would respectfully call attention to the
large number of untagged and unmuzzled
dogs found in the county of the District OF
Columbia that are kept on premises be-
yond the reach of the dog catchers. Prob
ably the only way to get rid of such dogs
is by thorough house toulouse inspec-
ton, compelling the owners to pay taxes
on such dogs or surrender them to the
poundmaster, as We have no authority to
take dogs that are net found on the public
highway"
The Commissioners now have the matter
under consideration, and it is expected that
the complainant will be informed in ac-
cordance with the report of the poundmas-
ter.
