Is Improving

Mrs. George Grist yesterday received
a letter from Mrs. Saylor, the mother of
William Saylor, who was severely in
jured by being run over by an electric
car in Seattle last week. Mrs Saylor
reports her son as improving slowly, the
injuries proving less serious than at first
expected. His skull was badly fractured
and blood vessel broken, which may
result in the loss OF hearing in his left
ear. Mr.. Saylor is in New York.

Bickleton.
Yakima is said to be a regular Gretna
Green for Klickitat runaway matches
when the legal age has not been reached
by the contracting parties, and this
arrest is a step in an effort to break up
the practice.
Sheriff Tucker will likely return to-
morrow with his prisoner or will have
an equivalent for the arrest.

was complied with, and the pockets of
each one present were rifed, together
with the gaming tables and the money
till of the saloon. Frank Wilson. the

Alex McCready returned home last
Saturday morning from his trip to the
east, having gone to Chicago several
weeks ago with a train load of sheen.
During his journey homeward he was
caught in the blizzard that swept over
the Dakotas and parts Of Canada two
weeks ago. He left st. Paul over the
500 line to make connections with the
Canadian Pacific and on reaching En-
derlin, n. D., the blizzard struck the
train he was on. Mr.. sMcCreadv said he
had always desire to see one of those
billiards. and experienced one sure
enough. 1t was the worst storm in the
history of the Dakotas. His train was
completely showed under and when they
reached Enderlin the wind was blowing
so furious that none of the passengers
could leave the train to get anything to
eat. The dining car Rad been detached
and sent back to st. Paul, leaving the
passengers with nothing to subsist on.
For Is hours the passengers remained
on the train with nothing to eat, but
when the wind modified Mr.. McCreadv
went to the hotel and remained there so
hours without going out. In making
the trip across the country II days were
required and the trains travelled as fast
as il was pOssible

have used it will be required to use the

Among the government publica-
tons that will soon be ready for
public distribution is the eighteenth
report of the civil service commits
sion. covering the period from july 1.
1900, to June 30, 1901.
The report proper (as distinguish
ed from the appendiX) is largely
statistical. 1t opens with the state
ment that 1905 persons were ex-
amined during the year, of whom 21,-
OPS were examined for the depart
mental service: This service does
not include merely the departments
at Washington, but all the federal
classified services outside of Wash
ington, with the exception of the
postal, customs, internal revenue, and
government printing services. Thus.
the railway mail and Indian services
are divisions of the departmental
service. Nearly $1,000 persons were
examined for the postoffice service,
or Il little over a thousand less than
the numebr examined for the depart
mental service. About 60 per cent,
or 1879, of those taking examina-
tions passed, and 1859 failed. Com
represented an increase of 2.112 in the
number of persons examined, de-
crease of 1889 in the number who
passed, ana an increase of $40 in
the number who failed.
The total number of persons re-
cciving appointment, including the
Philippine service and the municipal
service of the District of Columbia,
neither Of which is subject to the
provisions of the civil service act,
was $50, distributed as follows:
Departmental service Excluding the
railway mail and Indian services),
1898; railway mail service, SIC; In
dian service, 276; postoffice service,
4,2SS; custom house service, 302; gov
ernment printing service, 172; inter
nal revenue service, So. Two-thirds of
the appointments in the department
tai service proper and nearly one-half
of the appointments in the Indian
service were of persons who had
passed UNCONVENTIONAL eXamina-
tions. These examinations, which
are sometimes termed registration
or experience examinations, are main
ly based upon a consideration of the
length and quality of the experience
and the physical fitness of applicants.
They are usually held for positions
requiring a knowledge of one of the
mechanical trades or skilled manual
occupations. Inquiry is made by
means of certificates from employ
ers and fellow-workmen concerning
qualifications. y prescribed period
of service at Il trade is usually re-
quirement. The examinations for
cOmpositOrs, pressmen. etc. in the
government printing Office are not
included in this class. since in these
tests are essential. The
commission states in the report that
ii has been unable to make the re-
gistration system for worl<men as
thorough as is desirable for lack of
sufficient clericaL-force.
