He Shoots TO Kill.

Jim Butler, an Indian on the Yakima
reserve, attempted to kill his neighbor
Shepherd Peter another Indian, last
week. They became involved in con-
troversy and Butler who held shot gun
in his hands, threw it to his shoulder
taking deliberate aim at Peters head
and pulled the trigger. They were
standing close together, however, and
Peter succeeded in knocking the barrel
of the gun up, thereby escaping its con-
tents. Witnesses interfered and stopped

COFFIN Bros STORE
AT TOPPENISH BURGLARIzED
Three Hundred Dollars in Cash and
Numerous Checks Stolen.

Burglars entered the store of Coffin
Bros at Toppenish, on Monday night
and taking off the combination to the
safe opened the drawers and were re-
warded by finding $500 in cash and
number Of checks and drafts.
1t is thought that there were two men
engaged in the transaction, although up
to the time of going to press no clue to
their identity or whereabouts has been
secured. The bold men first threw a
rock through the window to ascertain if
the night Waterman was on duty. Find
ing no one there they entered the store
and neatly opened the outside combina-
ton and also the combination to the
iron chest inside, took the lucre, threw
on the combination and left for parts
unknown. The checks were found few
rods from the depot the next morning.
A strange part of the story is that a
safe was similarly robbed at Kennewick
about week ago and it is thought that
the robbery at Toppenish was made by
the same gang, who are thought to be
experts operating along the line.

Escaped With His Life.

G. f. Jones, the local produce and
commission merchant occupying office
rooms with the real estate firm of
Barnes & Co., was on the Sound last
week and experienced the distinction of
being passenger on one of the inter-
urban cars running between Seattle and
Tacoma that smashed into each other
on Saturday afternoon, injuring many
people seriously. Mr.. Jones luckily es-
capped with only a few slight bruises,
and as there were no physicians on
either car it fell to his lot, he being a
graduate of the Chicago Medical Col
lege, to bind up the wounds of the I'M
fortunate and render all the medical aid
possible until the arrival of the Tacoma
doctors. Mr.. Jones now fears that
much of his time will be taken up with
in the next few months as witness in
the various damage suits that will prob
ably be instituted by persons injured in
the wreck

The ELKS MEMORIAL
SERVICES WELL ATTENDED
Hon. j. H. Schively Delivered Schol-
arly Address to Large and APP
preciative Audience.

Last Sunday afternoon at 3 O'Clock,
the Elks hall was crowded to overflow
ing with those who had come to hear
and witness the annual memorial SER
vice of this well-known benevolent Or
der. The hall was tastefully decorated,
the prevailing colors being black and
white, and the ceremonies of the Elks
were very impressive. A musical pro-
gram rendered by prominent musicians
OF the town added much to the OCCASION
The address of Hon. j. H. Schively of
Olympia was mastery in the extreme.
He held the rapt attention Of everybody
for one of the shortest hours ever sat
through by Yakima audience. Per-
haps the most conspicuous thought of
his speech and one that appealed more
noticeably to the people was when,
speaking of the fitting ceremonies ac-
corded the dead by their living friends
and relatives, and of the many kind
words and their many virtues then
spoken of, he said, "But it occurs to me
my friends, that in point of significance
some word of love and encouragement
spoken to this friend while he is vet liv.
ing is more valuable and noteworthy
than all the sweet-scented flowers of the
universe placed upon the bier and
banked as high as the gates of para
disc"
Mr.. Schively is polished and finished
speaker, and his effort has made him
many friends in Yakima.
Since the organization of the local
lodge Of Elks eleven years ago only one
OF its members, John Kangley, has
passed to the realms beyond.

THE NEGRO IN POLITICS.
Gro BE CONTINUED.)

Is the decadence OF the negro
in national politics a true in-
deX to his declining sway in the
affairs of the nation? That his
presence in official position is grow
ing rarer and rarer as the years go
by is fact too noticeable for the
older generations to overlook.
For the first time in thirty-two
years, except for brief period be-
tween 1887 and 1889, no colored
man sits in either chamber of Con-
gress, and there is less prospect of
the election of colored man to
this body than at any time since
the close of the war.
The first negro elected to Con-
gress, was j. w. Menard from
Louisiana. He was born in Illinois
and educated Owing to irregu-
larities he was barred from taking
his seat.
