Father" Bel is pead.

Father Bell is dead. To those who
knew him this simple statement will be
met with sorrow. A character most
unique because Of its simplicity, yet
strong in it's promptings for good has
gone to meet its maker. Very little is
known OF the life OF Father Bell even by
his most intimate friends. Relatives he
seemed without. His life had been de-
voted to deeds OF charity, and among the
poor and lowly his presence and help
ing hand will be missed. Raised in at
fluence he died without a penny. His
means had been devoted to feeding and
clothing the needy, and extending the
helping hand whenever he thought
necessity required. No one will ever
know the good that has been accomplish
ed by this man, for his simple and un-
demonstatiye ways attracted but little
attention. He believed in practical re-
ligion and lived it. While he was a
church member, since coming to Yak
ina he officiated with no particular
church, feeling that he could do more
good among those the church could not
reach, hence the Salvation Army felt
his influence for a number OF years, and
among whose leaders throughout the
state he was held in high esteem.
Father Bell died at the hospital Fri
day morning, Nov. 9, of paralysis, aged
about So years. The funeral was held
from St. Michaels church, Rev. H. M.
Bartlett officiating, on Saturday after
noon, the remains being inferred in the
Tahoma cemetery. Peace to his ashes.

Alba Haywood

The prince OF comedians and the ever
popular retailer OF fun, will be with us
on the evening of Nov. Goth, with COM
plete change of program, new songs,
stories and impersonations designed for
laughing purposes only, and bearing the
Goth century imprint. He is supported
this season by the following we'll known
artists:
Miss Gertrude Monroe, brilliant vio-
linist, who has distinguished herself
with the leading musical organizations
of the United States (including the Bos-
ion Symphony orchestra). Her playing
is brilliant, fascinating and highly pleas
ing. She has genuine old Cremona
violin, OF which she is very proud.
Mr.. Gustave Ullrich, 'cellist OF re-
markable ability, and pupil of Bruno
Steindel, of Theodore Thomas orches-
ira. The cello though the grandest of
string instruments, is seldom heard in
the provincial cities, and will bea source
of great pleasure to all and surprise to
many.
Those who particularly enjoy vocal mu-
sic will be pleased to learn that Mr..
Haywood has secured the services of
Miss Emile Cole, the beautiful and tai
ented soprano, who for two years was
understudy of the Bostonian Opera
company. Miss Coles voice is ex-
quisitely sweet, and her ballad singing
is most delightful.

valuable Gift to the School Library.

A year ago A. F. Smelling loaned to
the public high school, for use in the
library, full set OF Bancroft's histories
of the Pacific coast, consisting OF 80 vol
umes, and valued at 500. Recently Mr..
Smelling wrote to c. W. McCurdy,
superintendent OF the city schools, pre-
senting the works to the school library.
They were gratefully accepted by the
board of education who directed Clerk
Peck to appropriately acknowledge the
gift, and in his letter to Mr.. Smelling he
says:
ga part of the board had the good for
tune to be present on the morning OF
the 9Th inst. and hear your letter read
before the high school pupils. Had
you been there and heard the cheering
by the pupils and the teachers, l would
consider that you were partially repaid
for this generosity.
"On behalf of the board, the teachers,
the pupils and the public in general, l
extend to you thanks and assure you
that this gift is priced beyond express
sion.
~ rejoice that there are men SO noble
as to give SO freely to so worthy a

TELEPHONES ON STREET CARS
Innovation on St. Louis Cars That May Prove
Convenience.

Something entirely new in street-car
conveniences is the telephone being
fitted to the cars of the St. Charles,
Rock Road and Western company, says
St. Louis dispatch. The value of this
innovation is obvious. The motorman
is at all times able to Communicate directly
with the office, the sheds Of the wrecking
crew, as occasion may demand, and,
further, passengers will find this of con-
venience when they wish to let friends
at their destination know the exact time
at which to be ready to meet them.
The instrument is placed in the rear of
each car, the negative wire being con-
nected permanently through the wheels
to the rail and the positive wire being
fitted with simple device resembling a
jointed fishing pole, (which connection
is secured with private overhead wire
paralleling the trolley.

Franklin Went Democratic.

In the editoriorial column headed by
an apparently healthy but somewhat at
tenuated rooster, Charley Giezentanner,
of the Pasco News Recorder "whoops 'er
up" thusly:
1.-TWO year ago Franklin was the only
county in the state that went democra-
tic This year there has been several
more added to the list, and enough re-
publican votes added to re-elect our gov
ernor but hardly enough to carry the
state. The increase is encouraging and
after another term of McKinleyism not
only our state, but others will see their
error and fee from the wrath to come.
While we feel deeply grieved over the
result of the general election we are
Justly proud of our county and the loyal
citizens who reside here. However, as
McKinley's reelection did not check the
rotation of this terrestrial ball we'll take
off our hat, bow to the inevitable and
take our medicine, living in the hope
that the old world will still wag long
enough for us to get another whack at
'em and prove to all nations that the
American people are still on earth and
still have vote coming. Having raised
our flag and cleared our decks we bid
farewell to politics, for the time being,
and steer our journalistic bark into less
troubled waters. But look out! There's
another time coming"

which this new factor in warfare may

its presence in an enemy's fleet be sus-

Husbandry Is Very Old.

The origin of agriculture is lost in the
mists Of antiquity. We know that in
Neolithic times in Europe eight kinds
of cereals were cultivated, besides fax,
peas, peoples, apples, pears, bullace,
plums, ETC., at the same time various
animals were domesticated. Among
these were horses, short-horned oxen,
horned sheep, goats, two breeds of pigs
and dogs. Prof. w. Boyd Dawkins says
that evidence goes to show that these
animals were not domesticated in Eu-
rope, but probably in the central pla-.
teau of Asia. He also thinks that agri-
culture arose in the south and east of
Europe, and spread gradually to the
center, north and west. A hunting pop
ulation is often very averse to even the
slight amount of work that agriculture
requires in tropical country. The
same holds good, as rule, for pastoral
communities. In all cases powerful
constraint is necessary to force these
peoples into uncongenial employment.
Fate is stronger than will, and at vari-
Gus periods in different climes hunters
and herders have been forced to till the
soil

court then summed up the case, and, to

"The court finds the defendant guilty

In reading the current notices of the
birthday celebrations of our centena-.
rians one Is struck by the fact that
these healthy livers are almost invari-
ably people in modest circumstances.
Even the very poor are permitted to
live out their hundred years, while
such thing as a wealthy centenarian
Is almost unknown. This relation be-
tween longevity and moderate condi-
tons Of life is illustrated by the care
fully kept statistics Of the incumbents
of church livings in England. The 1O3
clergymen who have occupied the same
living for fifty years and upward have
done so on an average income of ESQ,
or ST ,25O. In sixteen cases the income
after fifty years of continuous service
was between $3.50 and $710 year.
The moral of this would seem to be
that the best assurance of reaching a
cool old age would be found in the pos
session of an income that makes plain
living compulsory, but we doubt wheth-
er this reflection will have any inf1u-
ence in checking the desire for wealth.
1t is even possible that great many
people would prefer a shorter life and
a larger income to the prospect of lon
gevity and limited means.

Anthropometry is, however, only indi-

come to the conclusion that such de-
malls would be waste Of time, and in
nine cases out of ten they confess vol

been absent from the capital for many

Mr.. Hubbard says of his reasons for
wearing his robes: "Gay colors keep

exclude all peaceful and holy thoughts,
