Spokane, June 18.-For a week past
the senatorial aspirants of the state,
or at least two or three Of them, have
been organizing their forces in Spo-
kane County. Politicians for the first
time in months are beginning to ad-
NIT that they really have a choice for
senator. The chaos and confusion are
being dispelled and for the first time
since the appointment of c. B. Hopkins
to the position of United States mar
shall and the surprise which followed
that movement of Senator Fosters,
the political workers are taking sides
for the big fight which is to come when
the next state legislature meets. 1t is
no longer impossible to find men who
will declare frankly that they are for
Mr.. Ankney or for Mr.. Wilson or for
some of the other aspirants. And in
the past week it is found that there
are no less than five candidates who
have their supporters among the local
politicians. Of the five Wilson and
Ankney lead off with the biggest
strength. Perhaps Jones comes third.
Preston support, too, has cristal;zed
in the past few days and although it
is small, it is good and vigorous and
lies among good class Of politicians
The fifth man in the race is Frank |.
Post. He is only occasionally men
toned, and then as dark horse, but
there is at the same time a very quiet
movement in his favor.

But while Mr.. Ankney's Spokane
friends have been doing some effectual
work in spite of the man whom they
openly admit is in danger of spelling
everything, it is unnecessary to say
that the Wilson people are not idle.
In fact they are never idle. They
never are unorganized They never
announce their plans in the newspa-
pers. They never allow the other fell
low to know what they are doing until
it is done. In this way while the
Ankney men have been making the
biggest showing the Wilson men have
been at work in that quiet way all
their own. While every one knows
what the Ankney men are doing, no
one knows what the Wilson crowd
is doing. The Ankney men are appeal
ing to what they believe to be the pub
lie sentiment against John L. Wilson.
They announce their candidates and
make public appeal for support. The
Wilson men work the other way.
Which will be the more effectual none
can say.

The man who has made the best
showing in the past few days is Levi
Ankney. For the first time in his
period of senatorial aspirations he is
making systematic effort to organize
for the coming Spokane county con-
ventiOn. If it were not for what his
followers declare is a bad blunder in
the choice Of a leader he would be in
good shape to make a strong fight for
the county's support. He has had Mr..
Croker looking after his interests and
before Mr.. Croker, j. B. Wilson was
on the ground, and both did good work.
Many politicians OF good standing en-
listed under the banner of these two
Heutenants and preparations, were be-
ing made to effectually organize with
the purpose of naming a Ankney legis-
lative ticket in every district Every
thing was going well for the Walla
Walla man until Mr.. Croker suddenly
was called away and there appeared
man from the wilds of Okanogan
county who proudly marched down
Riverside avenue declaring that he
was the high cockalorum Of the Ank-
ney forces. Then he found himself
a room and sent messenger boy to
summon the men whom he had been
informed were for Mr. Ankney. Some
Oh them came and many of them would
not. Those who put in an appearance
he informed that he was 1T" That
no matter what Mr.. Croker or Mr..
Wilson or they had done, every move
must hereafter be countersigned by
him. If they wished any one placed
on the Ankney ticket the man must
first be approved by him. If they
wished any leaders appointed for the
different districts they must first be
examined by him and if satisfactory
they would be branded ct. w" over
the pocket book. The Spokane follow
ers of Mr.. Ankney have been very IN
reasonable since the arrival of this
Moses from the mountains. Some of
them have declared they would not
submit to the dictation of the new
boss and that if Mr.. Ankney could do
no better than to put his affairs into
the hand of man who has been doing
nothing but antagonizing the political
leaders of the county and whose two
weeks stay in the city has been char
acterized of nothing but succession
OF blunders, they would leave Mr.. Ank-
ney and his new found friend to man
age things as they chose. Others who
have been a little less disguised have
cOntented themselves with sending
word to Mr. Ankney that if he wanted
any votes from Spokane county he
had better call off his new leader and
tell him to go way back and sit
down"

THE CHEF POISONER.
Strange OHice Maintained by the Gov
ernment at the National
Capital.

In little house in South Washing
! ton is located a federal institution
without which the Smithsonian insti-
tuition and national museum could
not exist. 1t is the department Of
the chief poisouer, Mr.. Joseph Farm
er. The office of chief poisoner was
not unusual in countries ruled by
despots, but it may be a surprise
10 many to learn that such an Office
is maintained by our own republ lean
form of administration, says the
Washington Post.
However, Mr.. Farmer, unlike his
contemporaries in Turkey, Spain,
Arabia, etc, is not engaged in put
ting obnoxious and eXuberant states
men out of the way, but in placing
the objects on exhibit in the institu
tion and museum beyond the reach
Of thieves, rust and cockroaches.
Everything that is received by
these institutions, whether il is
rare boot. a Filipino bolo, or a
stuntcd and mounted animal, is sent
TO Mr.. Farmer to be poisoned. He
is an expert in the preparation and
use Of preseryatiyc compounds. For
stuffed animals and birds he finds
that arsenical compounds bring the
best results Every object Of metal
receives a coating Of something that
prevents rust, while fabrics, bas-
kerry silks, furs, etc, are poisoned
in much the same manner as stuffed
animals. Even the shelves and cases
Of the museum in which the objects
are placed have passed through Mr..
Farmers hands and have been treat
ed to the fluid that causes bug,
moth or cockroach to think that he
is walking on a red-hot stove the
minute he strikes their surface. by
these means the museum is forever
free from yermin

WATERS WHO SPECULATE.
DabbIe in stocks and Become Unfit
for the Performance of
Their Duties.

Stories of the successful specula.
ton of walters in popular resorts on
tips" received from the patrons are
often true; but there is the other
side-that of losses, says a New York
exchange. Said Philippe, at Delmon.

IF one of our walters constantly
speculates on tips loss and failure

As in the case of Beau Brummel's

] have had some good winnings, but
prefer investment in real estate.
Stock speculation really distracts a
waiter and he cannot properly at
tend to business. As soon as we find
a waiter getting too engrossed in
speculation we discharge him, as he
cannot keep away from the ticker,
and confuses his orders. One poor
fellow nearly went crazy here last
winter in consequence of his stock
speculations. He would forget his or,
ders and call for 'one Western Union
when he should have said 'one steak
underdone,' and so on, until we had
to discharge him. | do not know
what has become of him, but expect
to hear he has landed in the insane
asylum on the island"

PIGEONS THE PEST OF VIENNA
Have Multiplied from n Few Pairs In
One Hundred Years Beyond
All Control.

The few pairs of pigeons brought 100
years ago from Venice to Vienna have
multiplied to such an amazing extent
as TO have become public pest. There
is great difficulty in eXterminating
these pretty creatures. as, besides the
danger involved TO the public in shoot
ing hem, many of the birds would per-
haps only be wounded. The town
council has. therefore, resolved that a S
many as possible shall be caught alive
killed and given TO poor families, and
that for some years fresh eggs in equal
numbers shall be distracted from the
nests.
The birds. which are great favorites
with he cabmen and porters, are fed
as regularly as the horses, clouds of
pigeons descending at the first throw
of corn. Hundreds of birds await an
eccentric woman who appears every
DAY in the town park in summer and
winter with food for them. In the
WHIT she brings warm inseed meal
and other food. and they descend at
her cal. She is closely vei.ed and her
name is unknown. The habitues of the
park have dubbed her the "Baroness.'
She wept upon being told by a park
keeper that the pigeons were to be
caught and killed. says the New York
Mail and Express. and great dissatis-
faction is also expressed by the cab
men,

CABLE ROAD UP VESUVIUS.
An Electric Passenger Line Is Being
Pa: Through the Ancient
GntacOmbs.

A trolley road is now being built
up The slope of he volcano of Nesuyius
for the accommodation Of travellers
who find mountain climbing too ardu-
Gus. The trolley line starts at the
foot of the mountain and connects
with a cable road, which carries the
passengers to the edge Of the crater,
beginning at an elevation Of 200 feet.
Already there is IA trolley line from
Gileh 10 Sphinx. one for part of the
way up Mont Blame, and a number of
them, with transfers and all the mod
ern accessories, through the streets Of
Rome. says London exchange.
The most homogeneous combination
of ancient and modern Will be found
in the electric passenger railroad to
be built through the Catacombs. The
modern tourist appreciates such con-
ycnieuces very much, and finds them
a substantial economy over the ira
ditional donkey, and his picturesquely
bIa, phcmous driver. No one who has
assembled our own Mount Washington
In recent years has had cause to re-
gret that hi. or her bones do not re-

WAYS OF CATCHING RATS.
Luring Them by scents and Entrnp-
ping Them by IA Barrel
Contriyance.

Rats are very susceptible to the
odor of certain drugs, and any ordi-
nary trap set in their haunts is
likely to succeed if dressed with these
scents, the attractions of which, rat
catchers affirm they cannot resist.
An example is: Powdered asafoetida,
eight grains; oil Of rhoduim, two
drains; oil of anisced, one dramJ oil OF
lavender, one-half dram. Shake to-
gether in a bottle and use a very small
quantity to dress the bait, says the
Baltimore American.
To catch rats cover a common bar
rel with stiff. stout paper, tying the
edge round the barrel. Place board
50 that the rats may Nave easy access
to the top. Sprinkle cheese parings
or other food for the rats on the paper
for several days. until they begin to
think they have a tight TO their daily
rations from this source. Then place
in the bottom Of the barrel a piece OF
rock about six or seven inches high,
filing with water until only enough
Of it projects above water for the rat
to lodge upon. Now replace the paper,
first cutting a cross in the middle,
and the first rat that comes on the bar
rel top goes through into the water
ard climbs on the rock. The paper
comes back into its original position
and the second rat follows the first
Then begins a fight for'the possession
of the dry place on the stone, the noise
IF which extracts the others, who
share the same fate.

FRUIT is A GOOD MEDICINE.

Prevented and Cured by Free
Indulgence.

II has not been a secret Of the med
zeal profession thar the eating of fresh
fruits is one of the most Lealthful Of
habits. As cure it is both simple and
agreeable.
Fruits are divided into five classes
the astringtnt, the mea,y, the oily,
the acid and sweet. Each has an es-
pecial value.
The grape is the king cure of all
fruits. and is recommended particu-
,arly 70 the consumptiye, the anaemic

The prescription in each case is very

A GOOD TELEPHONE GIRL.
One Who Is Possessed of Acute An
ditOry Nerves and Correct
Articulation.

Every girl cannot be telephone
girl, as many applicants learn, to
their disappointment. Girls who can
hear and girls able to maintain the
reputation of the sex for talking
often fail in what is required by the
telephone companies. The trouble
is not in the educational, but In the
physical tests, says the New York
Herald.
Some education is required. as a
matter of course, but the greater at
tention is paid to hearing and speak
ing. The applicant must possess au-
ditory nerves able clearly to distin-
guish words in all sorts of conversa-
ton, regardless of surrounding
noises and the frequent interfering
sounds on the telephone line.
Then, above all, she must not only
be able to talk, but know how to
talk. Defect of speech is fatal. Ar
ticulation, pitch of voice and general
self-possession are most carefully
considered, and examination in these
requisites is of necessity conducted
viva yoce.
There is a test in the very manner
in which the applicant goes through
the examination. Any indication OF
nervousness, hysteria or want of self
possession will cause rejection of the
candidate.
The greatest stumbling block is
the voice, for the majority Of girls
are not clear in their enunciation,
and very many have strongly
marked twang that is certain to
