MISSING.
Jas. D. Lombard, a Printer
Disappears.

DR.. Lombard, the we'll known
dentist Of Missoula, was in the city
this morning, in quest of his broth
er, James d. Lombard.
During the last few days much
anxiety has been caused on account
OF the sudden disappearance of
Lombard
He is printer and has followed
the business for many years. He
came to Spokane last week and
called on Harry Bronson, secretary
Of the typographical uiOn here, but
since then has not been heard from.
DR.. Lombard stated that it was
feared his brother had become in
sane, as a letter received from him
few days ago is written in a wan
dering style and in the letter he
states that his eyesight was failing
him. The matter has been brought
to police notice, but up to last re-
ports nothing had been heard of
Lombard's whereabouts.

the day. Dropsy has set in and the
end can not be far off.
DR.. Joseph Parker is to England
almost exactly what Henry Ward
Beecher used to be to America.
His yearning to get back to the pull
pit Of the City Temple, WHARF he
had Numbered unintesruptsss for
moro than 80 years, Is almost pa
thetic.
Reports that DR.. Gunsaulus of
Chicago had been engaged to sue
coed him well-nigh broke the aged
preachers heart, and in spite of his
physicians orders he got up from
his sick bed TO appear before his
congregation and to prove to them
that he was by no means ready to
so on the shelf. The great church
was crowded to the uttermost limit,
the enthusiasm was highly emotion
al in It's intensity, and the Grand
Old Man of the pulpit, always SEN
sitive to the feelings of his audi
ence, was moved to play on their
heart strings with all the old elo-
Quence, But the effort was too
much for him and the inevitable
relapse came.
He was carried down to tho south
coast a few weeks ago In state
OF nervous exhaustion that would
have been dangerous in a man of
half DR.. Parker's ~ years.

JOBS WAIT
Two Civil Service Eligibles
Get Positions at Once

The civil service examination is
taking place today at the county
courthouse under the supervision
of Mr.. Riddeford. Three young
ladies and IL gentlemen are taking
the examination. In connection with
this examination it was learned
that two of those taking the ex-
aminetions have permanent posi-
tions awaiting them.
1t seems that two Of the employees
now in hte service are only being
used for the reason that there were
no eligibles available at the time
vacancies occurred. These men
will be displaced by two of the
eligibles from the examination for
clerks and Carriers now taking
place.
Additional help will be required
for the holidays and It Is probable
that Mr.. Riddeford will request i'm
mediate action on the examinations
now being prepared in order that
the department may use these ell
gibles for the holiday rush.

LOWER FREIGHT RATES
TO SPOKANE j0bBERS

George O. Bradley, manager Of The

Spokane firms have been handi-
capped here tofore in competing
with eastern manufacturers and
eastern freight rates. 1t will I'M
doubtedly make Spokane a supply
center for a more extensive terri
tory, but the price Of iron manu-
features will probably remain the

Mr.. Boothe of the wholesale firm
of Observation-Disclosures company, was
also questioned in regard to the re-
suits upon the wholesale grocery
trade of the freight reduction.
Mr.. Boothe stated that the reduc-
ton affected but a few articles,
upon which there had been no
profit, and would therefore allow
but a small margin now. Mr..
Boothe also said that, while it
would materially affect the outside
trade, it would allow them to carry
larger variety of stock for local
distribution.

for the place.
Cloninger was inside of the house
during the conference and he made
dash for the furniture, intending
to put the household effects into
the street. Dorm, 1t Is said, object
ed to this interference and became
excited.
When Cloninger followed Dorm
into a bedroom and was in the act
of trying to eject his tenant, Dorm,
it is reported, drew a revolver and
fired point blank at the raging land
lord, the bullet entering under the
left shoulder.
The shooting occurred about 8
O'Clock and Cloninger was immedi-

after 10 hours of suffering, he died.
Dorm gave himself up to the au-

BULLDOGS AND CATS.
Fellow Pets That Have Their Indi-
| viduaI Antipathies Yet Five
Together in Peace.

Milady is very fond of her two
French bulldogs and her big Maltese
cat, named Paddy. But the bulldogs
are not fond of the cat, and vice
versa. Still, they live in comparative
peace, though Paddy's back humps
and her tail grows as large as mi
lady's fur boa when he sees those
French bulldogs, says the St. Louis
Republic.
Paddy has no high pedigree, but he
is perhaps as high in the favor of
milady as the two CANNES, due in
measure to the old love which milady
bore to Paddy's grandmother, who
loved to romp and play when she was
kitten.
Paddy and the French bulldogs have
peculiarities, and that is the reason
this story is written.
Paddy does not encroach upon the
territory of the bulldogs, and the lat
ter do not invade Paddy's bailiwick,
but there is neutral ground. The
neutral ground is the first floor OF
milady's home. Paddy rules the
basement and the subcelar; the dogs
have the bedrooms. They sleep on
the beds and sofas and chairs in the
daytime, much to the disgust of the
chambermaid.
The interesting time comes when
milady sits down at the piano and
plays selections from the masters.
The lively melodies set the tails of
the French bulldogs in a whirl. The
tails spin numerous circles as the
music rolls forth. The dogs are in
ecstacy.
But with Paddy it is different tale
The most beautiful opera will cause
him to hump his back and jump
around in great annoyance. He
rushes down into the basement, and
then into the subcellar, where he
offers thanks for the relief from what
seems to his cat soul the worst kind
of discord. Better far is the wailing
of himself and the others of his ilk
on the back fences O. nights.
All of which proves the old, old
story that what is food for some is
poison for others.

green pastoral hills of the southwest
of Scotland the professional killer of
foxes is usually breeder of those
mustard and pepper" terriers to
which Dandie Dinmont gave his name
Here in the Highlands other terriers
are employed, and each fox hunter
has his special breed, which is SUI
perior to those of all his rivals.
The fox hunter, whose terriers are
even now waking the echoes of the
glen with their impatient yelping, is
one of the best known in the north.
His occupation is practically heredi-
tary, for he is the fourth of his race
to hold office on the estate, and to
serve the district in the capacity of
paid slayer of foxes. In the old DAYS
he was paid in kind, and had a grant
per head of foxes killed; to-day he
has his fixed wage from the estate,
and a fee from the farmers. For near
ly two centuries, for an unbroken Sc
quence of 200 springs, he and his for
bears have hunted all the wild coun-
try that lies between Glen FallOch and
the Pass of Brander, the Springs of
Shira and the lone places of Appin.
For all these years they have waged
war on the hill foxes.
Like the hunter, the terriers are the
hereditary foes of the fox. Two hun
dred years ago their direct ancestors
trotted up the hill slopes, hunted the
cairns and worried the progenitors of
those very foxes with whom they will
join issue when the March winds of
the second year of the century are
roaring down the glens. The feud has
descended from generation to genera
tion of dogs, from generation to gen
GRAFTON of foxes.
In field near the sea you note the
fox hunter, but before he can answer
your call and come down to the road
the whole pack are upon you. Their
greeting is noisy, but kindly. Every
one of the 10 gives tongue as they
come running toward you. There is
nothing of menace in their barking
1t is merely the hearty welcome of
the Highland terrier. Each dog is
more 'fussy" than the other. All
their bodies, all their tails and all
their tongues are going at once, and
each dog is a rival of the other for
your notice. One or two are little
shy of the strangers hand, but not
one is hostile. They are mice" dogs

was good business man, who never
threw a chance away.
"ln that case, I'll stay" said the
stranger, and set down the small va
lise he carried upon the floor.
From what | have already written,
you will doubtless have derived the
impression that the Hotel of the
Three Desires, while being a useful
place OF abode, was far from being
the carayanserai of the luxurious or
der. The stranger, whoever he might
be, however, was either not fastidi-
Gus, or, as is more probable, was used
to similar accommodations, for he
paid as little attention to the perfume
of the bar as he did to the dirt upon
the floor and walls, and also upon the
landlords hands. Having stipulated
for room to himself, he desired to
be shown to it forthwith, whereupon
Manuel led him through the house
to a small yard at the back, round
which were several cabins, dignifed
by the name of apartments.
"Splendeed," said Manuel, enthusi-
astically, throwing open the door of
one of the rooms as he spoke. more
splendeed than ever you saw"
The stranger gave a ravenous sort
of croak, which might have been a
laugh or anything else, and then went
in and closed the door abruptly be-
hind him. Having locked it, he took
off his coat and hung it upon the
handle, apparently conscious of the
fact that the landlord had glued his
eyes to the keyhole in order that he
might, from precautionary point of
view, take further stock of his pa
iron. Fooled in his intention he re-
turned TO the bar, murmuring Gang
lish peeg" to himself as he did SO.
In the meantime the stranger had
seated himself upon the rough bed in
the corner, and had taken a letter
from his pocket.
