fairs IN hlng County instead OF Mr..
Piper. For some time Mr.. Humes
took orders from Mr.. Piper, but now
it is said that if Mr.. Piper cares to
continue to worship at the Ankeny
shrine he must take orders from Mr..
Humes, which. does not set well on
Piper's stomach, and he has there
fore severed all connections with
the senatorial ambitions Of the
Walla Walla banker.
There is another rumor to the eff
feet that Dick Kinnear, the famous
fighter from the Sixth ward, has
read the riot act to Mayor Humes
and his followers, and has said to
them that in the future they will
please to excuse him from doing
anything for their political edifca-
ton. This forebodes no good for
Mayor Humes and his followers, for
it has been Dick Kinnear and the
friends Of Dick Kinnear that have
held the Sixth ward in line for
Mayor Humes in his many fights in
this city during the past five years.
A friend of Mr.. Kinnear said to the
Pie Maker one day this week that
Dick could stand Tom Humes no
longer, because Humes was a greedy,
avaricious, ambitious old politician
that had no respect for those men
that helped him most, when once he
got what he wanted. Though Dick
has been his friend through thick
and thin, Humes has given him the
cold shoulder at every turn Of the
road since he has been reelected,
and to such extent that patience
ceases to be virtue on the part Of
Kinnear, and he read the riot act
good and strong to the gang and
babe them an everlasting adieu.
Speaking about the federal offices
in this county, rumor has it that
already there are a number of appli-
cations being filed for each Of the
federal positions that are held now
under the present Mckinley admin
istration, and which will expire
either this or next year 81 am not
uneasy" said a certain federal Office
holder to the Pie Maker, ''about los
ing my job; perhaps I'll lost it and
perhaps III not, but the man who
wins it will have a fight on his hands
before he gets it. | propose to give
the winner a good strong chase for
his money, because | believe [ am
as much entitled to disappointment
as he is to appointment. Just why
the President should feel called up
on to change the federal office hold
ers in this State who worked as hard
for his election as the other fellow
is more than | can say at present,
and I do not believe he will feel
himself called upon to do so, despite
the number Of applications that are
being filed with Senator Foster for
the same.
The Seattle Spirit has broken
loose again as in days of yore when
it prompted the leading citizens of
Seattle with their wives and children
to 90 out in the timbers and build
a railroad that would give Seattle
a railroad opening, which the North
ern Pacific at the time refused to
give to her.
1t was announced faw days ago
by the Chamber Of Commerce that
Seattle would lose the building of a
great man-of-war if 100000 was
not raised at once to relieve the stu
alton. As if by magic, the business
men sprung to the relief and come
forward with popular subscriptions,
and though the proposition had been
before the city not yet week, fully
100000 have been subscribed to the
necessary fund, and it is believed
that before another Saturday will
have passed the 100000 will have
been raised, thus showing that the
Seattle spirit" is ever alert to the
needs and benefits Of this city. Long
live Seattle and her spirit of sue
cess.
A NEW LAW FIRM.
