County Treasurer w. B. Dudley has
just completed his regular quarterly re-
port for the quarter ending March 81,
1901, and will file it this week with the
county auditor. The delay in the report
being filed was occasioned by the North
ern Pacific railway being behind in
making its returns for taxes, which
should have been in the treasurer's
hands at an earlier period, but as some
matters had to be adjusted, the railway
company too was delayed. The total
receipts for the quarter amount to $751;
536.23, and the disbursements foot up
$53,993.11, leaving balance Of $751;
543.l2. As compared with the same
quarter for 1900 there is decided in
crease in the receipts, and smaller dis
bursement. The receipts for 1900 were
$65,260.74, or a gain of $22, 275.49; ex-

Wool and Sheep Notes.

There is considerable speculation in
the wool markets owing to the low prices
prevailing. However, eastern markets
report an advance of cents per pound
on secured wook.
Invitations have been sent to Is of the
principal wool buyers OF the country 10
attend the wool sales in this city on
May 18th.
North Yakima is rapidly becoming one
of the largest wool centers i'll the west.
All of the wool as far east as Con-
nell is shipped from this point on ac-
count of the better facilities for sorting
and baling. A special rate OF 81. so per
hundred has been secured to Boston,
which compares favorably with any given
by the railroads from points west OF the
Rockies.
1t is said there are three million
pounds of last years wool clip in the
warehouses at The Dalles.
Mutton sheep are now selling at So per
head, and the Chicago markets proper
tionately low.
There are now stored in the warerooms
of Coffin Bros, adjoining the railroad
tracks, 400 bales of wool. A glance at
the interior of this place will give the
observer an idea of the magnitude of the
wool industry OF this country.

responsible by the painful nature of
her malady. Late this afternoon Mrs.
Wilton instructed servant to get out
some garments of the children, in or
der that she might overhaul them,
and at the same time said to the girl
that she would go to fetch from the
closet some things needed for mend
ing. After waiting quite a while for
Mrs. WiltOn's return the servant be-
came alarmed and informed Mr.. Will
ton of his wife's strange actions. Mr..
Wilton entered the closet and beheld
his wife on her knees upon the floor.
He spoke to her, but received no re-
ply and upon touching her was dis
mayed to discover her cold in death.
Upon investigation it was discovered
that the unhappy lady was strangled
by means of a cord which she had
fastened about her neck, after having
attached the other end to hook in
the wall. Coroner johnson was i'm.
mediately summoned. An inquest was
held this afternoon. Mrs. Wilton was
80 years old and has four children.

Honolulu, May 2S.-(via San Fran

fairs has grown out of the investiga-

Saturday.
Three of the best known lawyers,
A. s. Hartwell, Kinney and Ballou
were sentenced to thirty days in Jail
for contempt of court by Judge
Humphrey, but before they reached
the prison, all were released by the
acting governor, Cooper. The SEN
tences were given on account of an
affidavit which the attorneys attempt
ted to file in Judge Humphreys court
to show the judges personal bias
against Editor Smith of the Advertis-
er, who was indicted by the grand
jury for perjury. In the storm raised
by these proceedings the grand jury's
Investigations of the bribery cases
have been lost sight Of, but the jury
is still in session and is believed to
be getting close to some bribery cases.
A foundation for reports of bribery in
the legislature has finally been reveal
ed by Jacob Cooper, who wanted a
railroad franchise. Cooper swears he
was asked by three different men,
bers of the house to pay money for
their efforts in behalf of his bill, to Sc
cure a franchise for his railroad. He
has been before the grand jury and it
is stated, told the names of the rep
resentatives who solicited bribes.
Petition was circulated in Honolulu
today, asking for the removal of
Judge Humphrey.

A GREAT COUNTRY.
BY Associated Press:


New York, June 5.-P. H. Ashmead,
young Lehigh man who went to
Ecuador in 1898 with a party of fif-
teen American engineers to run the
line" on the railroad which is being
constructed from Guayaquil to Quito
in the Andes, has returned here for a
few weeks visit. Mr.. Ashmead
says:
There will be no greater monu-
ment to the pluck and skill of young
Americans than this railroad over the
highest mountains in South America
to open a country which is as little
known as any part of the world.
1T is land of unrealized wealth,
and lots of us will be pointing for
those regions when the railroad opens
it. Those five West Point men who
sailed to join our corps may find in
their discharge from the academy the
best fortune of their lives"
