A DELINQUENCY COURT.
Company c Members Must Come Out to Drill
or Suffer Consequent noes


Ortis Hamilton, lieutenant colonel Of
the state MALTA, came to North Yakima
last Friday on his way home from Puy-
allup, where he had been attending J. r.
Rogers funeral, to Colfax. He was
directed by the governor to come to this
place and make an investigation into the
cause of the lack of interest now mani
tested in company and if necessary to
organize delinquency court. He found
that close enough attention had not
been paid to drilling as is required by
law and he deemed it time to look into
the matter.
He made the statement that North
Yakima is provided with the best arm
DRY in the state and he was surprised
that the members of the company did
not take more interest in it. He formed
a court OF this character and placed
Capt w. L. Lemon in charge until fur
Their arrangements could be made about
it. Hereafter it is the intention to
strictly enforce the law with regard to
members coming out to drill.

LEMON MAY GET 1T.
Congre ssman Jones Has Decided TO Recon-
mend Him for the postmasterslip.

1t was announced last week by Con-
gresham Jones that he had decided to
recommend William i. Lemon for the
position of postmaster of North Yak
ina. AS to when the appointment
would take place nothing definite was
said. 1t may be soon, so the new official
can take office by February lst, or il
may not be for some time thereafter.
That change is contemplated there is
no question, and if Mr.. Lemon is APP.
pointed no objection will be raised by
THE HERALD. He is competent to fl
the position, and no doubt will give
North Yakima better mail service than
it has been getting for several years
past.
However, the announcement above
stated is causing considerable talk
among the other aspirants for the posi-
ton, some of whom express the opinion
that Congressman Jones is not acting
square. In a letter to another party
here after Mr.. Jones had made the above
announcement, he says that he had
decided to recommend MIR. Lemon
when it was decided to make change; ,
but that Mrs. Sperry would be re-
tanned for some time to come.

ACCUSED or MURDER.
J. Stewart Fife Arrested by Marshal Boyle on
Information from St. Joseph. Missouri.

City Marshal John G.. Boyle made an
important arrest here late Monday after
noon in the person of J. S. Fife or Stew
art Fife, who is wanted at St. Joseph,
Missouri for the alleged murder of Frank
W. Richardson, millionaire at Sa-
vanah, Missouri, on December "a, 1900.
Young Fife was just preparing to leave
the city when he was apprehended and
had that day been released through ha-
beas corpus proceedings before Judge
Rudkin in a case that was pending
wherein he was charged with assault
and battery.
He came here two months or more
ago from Portland and worked for u. A .
Hanna as Il clerk. He was arrested
three times on various charges and after
the last case was dismissed against him
by the superior court warrant was
sworn out again charging him with as
sault and battery.
He had prepared to leave here for
Seattle on the p. M train on Monday
and, it is said had purchased ticket
for the trip, but for some reason decided
to wait till Tuesday morning. On the
same train that he was to leave on a let
ter came from the chief of police of st.
Joseph, Missouri, to the chief of police
OF this city, Mr.. Boyle. He immedi-
ately set about to look for Fife whom he
knew very well, and on a little inquiry
learned that Fife had gone. kilograms
were sent ahead to apprehend him at
Cle-Elum or wherever officers might
overtake him. Shortly after these
messages were sent out Fife was seen on
the streets and placed under arrest by
Marshal Boyle and his assistant. Fife
was then turned over to Sheriff Tucker,
who in turn notified the st. Joseph
authorities, and they have replied that
a man would be on here, leaving there
on Wednesday morning.
The description sent on TALES exactly
with young Fife, who is but % years
old. a photograph accompanied the
letter and it was no trouble to recognize
| the fugitive. He is tall, rather good
looking and dresses like one who has
means, although his countenance is not
of the most reassuring kind.
The murder OF Frank Richardson was
one of the most sensational crimes in
the history of Missouri. The murdered
man was a millionaire banker at Savan-
nah, town near st. Joseph. He was
shot in the hallway of his residence on
Christmas evening by some person or
persons unknown.
Stewart Fife, Mr.. Richardson's part
ner, was under suspicion. At the cor
oner's inquest he testified that the
murdered man had accused him, four
months previously, of being duly init
mate with Mrs Richardson. Mrs.
Richardson was also suspected of the
crime, but protested her innocence, and
on her trial was acquitted.

WHAT MEN WOMEN PREFER.

What sort of men do women prefer?
It is fair to assume that all types of men
are interesting to some types ofwomen,
but the question as to what kind of man
IS the most interesting to the majority
of women is one that lacks statistics
And the time may be approaching
when this lack will have to be made
good. As women succeed In makir e
for themselves independent careers,
will they not grow less susceptible to
mans once paramount and irresistible
attraction? We are told by competent
authorities that women are marrying
later and selecting their life mates with
far more discrimination than in the
past WILL it not become necessary for
the aforementioned statistics 10 be
compiled in order that man may study
them, and draw the logical deductions
as to what he must do to be saved from
the martyrdom of bachelorhoodP-
this easy and alIuring state be comes
martyrdom the moment it is faced as an
unavoidable condition. Nobody will
envy the man who gathers the statistics.
What life labor lies before him His
life work will be a sort of Universal
Encyclopedia of the Whim of Women,
requiring brain at once distinguished
for supernatural psychic power and I'M
wearying capacity for labor. But he
cannot shirk his fate. The need inv aria
bly, produces the man. The noed seems
to have arised. Where, says Harper's
Weekly, is the man?

ANOTHER EASTER MORNING.

Again We welcome the glad Easter
morning, with its story of resurrection
and life.
The casters of now twenty centuries
mark the completion of triumphant
Christian effort. Approached through
the Lenten gloom, deepened by the
tragedy in which the great demagogue,
Plate, surrendered an innocent man to
the fury of the mob, the glad sunlight
of Easter renews the heart and dispels
the mists and clouds which have be-
logged the pilgrims way.
The ringing church bells this morn
ing will tell the story first told by the
angel when the women approached the
tomb-that Christ is risen The church
es all over the land will he filled with
worshippers who will bear evidence to
the Christian character of our people,
and Joy and gladness will oYerspresd
the land like a warm bath of Christian
grace.
All will eonspire to convince US that
providence has been abundant towardus
and it devoIves upon ourselves to prove
equal to the opportunities offerered
The influence of this festival pervades
every land, for the name of Christ has
been heard in al the earth and his fol-
lowers are among all nations. Easter
refreshes faith, consoles sorrow and
brings humanity nearer to the ideals of
conduct which were set nth in the
life of Christ on earth. The most pre-
cious of all words are ST am the resur-
rection aud the life" and the fullness
of their meaning is never quite so well
understood as at Easter. At that time
There is a sense of blossoms yet unborn
Ia the sweet airs of morn:
One almost looks to see the very street.
Grow purple at his feet.
At times fragrant breeze comes floating by
And brings, you know not why,
A feeling as when eager crowds await
Before palace gate.

would start,

WHAT MAKES THE CHRISTIAN.

To be Christian is not merely to be
good, but to be good for something.
To be CHRISTIAN ls not merely to join
the church. but to become associated
with the people of God for service, so
as to both receive good and do good.
To be Christian is not merely to make
profession of faith In Christ, but to
: .he born anew into the life, power, and

tan does NOT necessarily imply freedom
from doubts. but 1t does imply ex-
ereising that EFing faith in Christ,
which in due time triumphs over
doubts. Nicodemus and Thomas had
their doubts, but by coming to Christ
and clinging to Him, they achieved
complete victory over them all. To be a
Christian is not necessarily to be sure
that you are right, and that those that
differ from you are wrong, but it is to
be very certain that you do believe in
the Lord Jesus Cbfist, and strive hon
