DEATH OF GOV. ROGERS.
The Executive of the State Died at 8 O'clock
Last Evening.

Gov. John r. Rogers gently passed
into the Great Unknown, at s o'clock
last evening after about weeks suf-
fering from pneumonia. His death
was preceded by a period OF unconsci-
BUSINESS and he passed from that ap-
parently into a peaceful sleep. Seve-
raj of our local physicians were pres
ent during his last hours, but he was
beyond mortal aid.
John r. Rogers was born in Bruins.
wick, Maine, September 4, 1888. He
was educated in his native town
learned the drug business in Boston.
In 1856 he went to the State of Missis-
sippi managing drug store for prac-
ticing physician in Jackson, the capital
of the State. In 1861 he was a resident
of Cumberland county, Illinois, where
he lived during the war of the rebellion.
He was there school teacher and
farmer. In 1876 he went to Kansas,
buying a farm in Harvey county. He
held several public offices in the latter
State, serving as Commissioner of Har-
vey county for some years. He estab-
lished and was editor for three wears of
the Kansas COmmoner, now published at
Wichita. He came to Washington in
1890 locating in Puyallup. He has done
considerable literary works the au-
thor of several books and pamphlets on
economical and sociological topics, most
of which have been published since he
came to the State. He was a man of
marked individuality, of strong will and
self-reliant.
Governor Rogers was a member of the
Fourth Legislature as representative
from Pierce county, and took very ac-
tive interest in legislation pertaining to
education, coal mining and taxation.
He was elected Governor on the Fusion
ticket in 1896 by majority of 1880.
He was the candidate of the Democratic
party in 1900, and was reelected, being
the only candidate ON this ticket who
was successful.
Governor Rogers leaves widow and
five chileren. Of these there were pres
ent in the city besides Mrs Rogers,
Mrs. VIM. Blackman, wife of the State
Labor Commissioner, and Miss Helen
Rogers. Mr.. Blackman and Mrs. E.
r. Rogers are also here. None of the
sons were able to reach the deathbed
of their father. E. r. Rogers, leading
merchant of Puyallup is at present on a
trip to London, England. Prof. Fred
Rogers is at Palo Alto, Cal, where he
occupies the chair Of physics in the
StanfordA University. Albert G. Rogers
is at Santa Barbara, where he publishes

The Republican Ructation.
" Now the storm begins to lower.
Haste the loom of hell prena rt,v

Oily has at last been impelled to grid
on his armor in defense OF his master,
Mr.. Scobey. His first attempt seems
to have been very easy one, however,
merely to prod the bubble blown by the
paper that announced itself to be with
out partisanship, the Recorder. The
wonderful protest against Mr.. SIS re-
appointment, paraded with such pom
derous gravity, was a veritable Sodom' s
apple, after all, for when the film col
lapsed, it was found to have enclosed
only eleven names, mOstly of ex-office
holders with their smellers" turned
towards Pie.land. They were: C. S.
Reinhart, ex-Mayor, who is sucking 4
lucious plum in the judiciary depart
ment; J. w. Robinson, ex-Judge; AL.
len Weir, ex-Secretary OF State; Tom
Ismay, who soon will be ex-Commis.
sioner; Geo. f. Filley, ex-chairman OF
the county committee and chief bot
tle-washer; Geo. Castor, ex-Sheriff
O. W. Bush, ex-Representative; J. T.
Thacker, party woodsawyer, and ].
NJ. Newsum and C. c. Nugget, who
are always on hand to arrange it in
convenient piles.
While the list of protestants is ex.
ceedingly small, they make up in all.
dacity and vigor what they lack in
numbers and present prominence.
They are a select coterie of "Have
Beens," who would like To Be again,
and that very ambition has and will
make them aggressive and persistent.
So far, however, the only charge
brought against Mr.. Scobey, that he il
conducting business enterprise that
requires some portion of his ii me and
attention, is true, and it is an infant
industry" that all our people cordially
approve, giving employment as it does
to quite number of people and max.
ing an extensive market for number
OF native products. That it detracts
from his public duties is matter OF
mere conjecture. The discovery is
very recent that official duties have
been neglected by him, and, as a dis
interested looker-on. we prefer to be.
lieve that "wish is father 10 the
thought"
As we have said while the ructation
is small, it is nauseating and will keep
comm up until it is spewed out. Bet
ter not try to swallow it, Bro. Scobey,
with the Recorder as tickler."
