leading to the door Of the hut is a

cation, which is so haringly given in
said article. The undersigned has
been given to understand that the
Superintendent degree was obtained
in little obscure law school in Ore
gon, which has no existence now. If
he is uniformed, he should be APP
prlsed OF his transformation. Also
since the Superintendent and the
board are laying so much stress on
university education and college de-
grees, why is it that the Superintend
cnt is not one of such requirements
himself? The writer is informed that
the degree OF LIB" is a low degree;
that is it is the professional degree of
Bachelor OF Laws and is not a regular
literary or college degree. At the time
the Superintendent obtained this de-
gree, law schools only required a two
years course of study for this degree
and schools of less repute invariably
only required one years course of
study, and the writer understands that
the latter requirement was what the
school the Superintendent attended
required. If the undersigned is mis-
taken, he and the public should be en-
lightened; that is, if the Superintend-
ent studied law and failing in that has
taken up teaching, and has not col
lege education, the patrons Of the
school as well as friends of teachers

What appears to be most SEN
sational sequel to sensational mar
rage occurred yesterday morning,
at Wilkeson. The l7-year-old wife of
a man named Hendricks, and bride
of but three days, attempted to end
the lie of her husband by mixing
arsenic with his food and persuading
him to eat hearty breakfast. Hen
bricks and his young wife were mar
risd at Orting last Sunday, the mar
riage being the social event of the
town. Many friends were present
Money was not spared and neither
pains nor expense was considered in
arranging for the wedding. 1t is said
that $3.50 was spent in having we'd

causes which led to the reported at

Ben Goodreau, a cook in the board.
ing-house Of the Tacoma Eastern rail-
road, nine miles from Tacoma, was
frightfully burned on Saturday even
ing while using can Of kerosene to
revive the fire. The can exploded
with a report that blew both ends out
of the building and scattered the
burning oil over the unfortunate man
and the premises. He managed to
run out of the building and his two
helpers also escaped. They were not
injured. Men ran to the assistance
OF the cook and put out the fire of his
burning clothes. AS quickly as pos
sible he was removed to Tacoma hos
pital where he fingered for few hours
enduring much suffering, when death
came to his relief. He was conscious
though, and asked Of all who came
near him if they thought he would
get we'll. The fire had burned his
face, arms and body horribly. The
skin of his arms peeled off down over
his hands as if glove were being re-
moved. His legs were also badly
burned.
The oft-exposed freight bill trick
was successfully worked again at Sc
attic yesterday by swindlers upon E.
NJ. Breton, an old resident of Seattle,
who is out 5000 advanced to a newly
made acquaintance upon worthless
check drawn upon local bank for
$3.50. The game was worked in the
ancient and we'll worn way. Breton
was about to board the Umatilla for
San Francisco when he was accosted
by the swindler, who told him he was
also headed for California with large
shipment of machinery. While en-
gagged in conversation his pal appeared
and claimed to be the shipping clerk
looking for $3.50 in settlement for the
freight bill. Swindler No. l immed-
lately presented the $3.50 check in
payment and after examining the
check pronounced it good, but refused
to accept it on the grounds that the
rules of the company forbade it.
Broton's acquaintance then offered
him the check as collateral security for
a loan Of 5000, which he would return
on board the boat. Breton consented
and the swindler has not been seen
since.

THEY MEAN BUsINEss.-Now that
Tacoma and Seattle authorities are
getting down to business in earnest,
regarding the stringing of electric
wires, as will be seen from the fact
that at q meeting of council of the
latter city held last week, no less than
five corporations were directed to re-
move their wire-bearing poles from
certain streets as designated in the Or
der served upon them, by the proper
executive officers. The companies
notified were the Seattle Electric
Company, the Western Union Tele.

GREAT is the National Civil Service
Reform League! It has found out
what everybody in Washington has
known for years, that government
employees carried on the rolls as labor
ers do clerical work, in violation OF
law. It has also discovered that the
"laborers" in the departments have
been more than doubled within five
years, and it has made a report, and
that is probably all it will amount to.
The laborer" route around the civil
service law is too easy to be abandoned
by the appointing powers, and too
many Congressman have part of the
"pork" to expect anything from that
direction.

A CHICAGO dispatch of the 29th says
that the Troy Laundry employees, on q

arbitration, and it worked like q
charm. The concession of nine hours
was granted and partial increase oil
the advance demanded in wages.
Part was refused, and another prayer
meeting held, when a further increase
of pay was granted, but not the full
amount OF the demand. Now the EN-.
ployes are attributing the failure to
secure complete recognition OF their
demand to the shortness and want oil
fervor in the petitions for divine aid.
There is just where the consequences
inevitably gravitate when secular de.
mands are mixed up with sacred
