The car shortage in the Pittsburg

Why Ads Are Read.

An observant person remarks that
"the public likes as well to read inter
esting matter in the advertising col
umns as i'm the news columns. .
There is nothing surprising about
this, since the facts which are adj
vertised have direct personal inter
est to the public. The advertiser
offers to the people only such things
as the people need, and about the
character and prices of which they
want information. A persistent adj
vertiser is bound to win the attention
of all newspaper readers. Philadel-

CAPTAIN lEARY DEAD.
Gained Fame by His Bluff Of the German
Warships at Samoa.


Washington, Dec. 2S.--The navy de-
partment has received the following tele-
gram from Admiral Mortimer L. john
son, commanding the Boston navy yard,
dated yesterday:
Capt. Richard P. Leary, U. s. N,
died this morning at Marine hospital,
Chelsea"
Capt Leary was held in high regard
by his fellow sailors because OF the nerve
he showed in the presence of two Ger
man warships in the hal Dor OF Apia,
during the stirring times which wound
up in the tremendous hurricane that
wiped out the American and German
navies in those waters in 1899. Leary
was in command of the little Adams, .
third-rate vessel of antiquated pattern,
and, finding the Germans about to inter-
fere forcibly in support OF their own
candidate for the Samoan chiefship, he
cleared ship for action, first placing him
self in position to command either
approach, and forbade any interference.
, He was not molested, and remained at
his post until the American squadron
under Admiral Kimberley arrived, when
he was sent north in tho Adams, thus
escaping the great hurricane. He was

OF the island of Guam, which he ruled ~

In addition to the output of the cream
cries, it is estimated that the product OF
the diaries will be at least 1000 600
pounds, which would raise the. total
butter product of the state to 5000, 900
pounds.
At least two-thirds of the creameries
are located on the west side OF the Cas-
cade mountains, and the increase in that
part of the state has been much greater
than in Eastern Washington. The mild
climate in Western Washington and the
fact that there is good pasturage during
nearly the whole year, make Western
Washington an ideal country for the
dairy business.
The product of cheese has not in
creased to any noticeable extent, evil

in the manufacture OF butter.
The egg and poultry business is also
showing great developments, on account
of the great sale for those products ut

ON the Pacific coast. BY q care
full estimate, made after q canvass
among the commission men on Western
avenue, it is ascertained that the value
of the butter, eggs and poultry handled
by the Seattle merchants in 1901 will
exceed $4,000, 900 at Wholesale prices.
Il was also ascertained that nearly
g., SOC, 900 worth Of these products are
brought TO Seattle from the east side OF
the Rocky mountains. This indicates
that there ia . great opening for dairyine
and poultry raising in the state OF Wash

Olympia, Dec 26.-John Rankin Rog-

peacefully, the governor passing from q
totally unconscious state into the final
sleep. Mrs. Rogers, Miss Helen Rogers,
Mrs. Blackman, Mr.. Blackman, MIR.
Lister and DR.. Ingham were at the bed
side when the end came. Life was main
tanned in the governors body all the
afternoon almost solely by the use Of
powerful stimulants, but in spite of all,
the patient slowly became weaker and
weaker.
Gov. Rogers had been sick just six
days. For few days prior to that time
he complained Of lack of appetite, and
didn't look we'll. Last Friday afternoon
he continued working in the Office until
tho usual closing time That evening,
while at home, he was taken with chill
and remained in bed Saturday. It was
given out that he had only hard cold,
but the next day the symptoms Indicated
pneumonia. It was then that DR.. Ing
ham asked for . consultation with an
other physician, and DR.. Miller was
summoned. s
Since that time the governors condi-
ton did not change materially till this
morning at O'Clock, when there was q
sudden sinking spell, and by 9 his con-
dition was alarming. Drs. N. j. Red
path and J. w. NOVEL;, of this city, were
hastily summoned, and the consultation
which followed prepared the family for
the worst. The only hope, and an ex-
ceedingly faint one, held out to them was
that BY the use of powerful stimulants
the crisis might be tided over.
At 10 o'clock the governor seemed to
recognise Ernest Lister, chairman OF the
board Of control, and close friend: He
tried to speak, but could not. From
that time on he recognized no one.
About 4 O'Clock this afternoon he
passed into stupor. and lay perfectly
