honesty is necessary to good govern
ment; these people of course have not
belonged to the Grosvenor gang. Inc
developments of the last month or TWO
of the Grosven or way Of doing business
must have confirmed these old-fash-
toned people Ia their opposition to the
popular idol. The exposure by the
New York Post of the way Grosvenor
and his pals had made the trust mag
mates come down in the book-subscrip-
tion business has been now followed
by another exposure OF even more
serious scandal. The local newspapers
have taken the matter up and describe
how Count Won Muegge. the degener-
nte son Of German nobleman. was dis
owned and disinherited and sent TO
America. He was promised by his Ia
ther that IL he succeeded in obtaining
and holding = government position in
this country. il would be taken as proof
that he had turned over new lear.
After long time without succeeding,
his case was brought 10 the attention
of Gen. Grosvenor and the latter had
him appointed United States marshal
for that district. In return Tor this
amendment Won Muegge, II Is said. has
promised 10 pay Grosv~nor large sum
a soon ms his father consents 10 take
him back. Grosvenor has just had Won
Muerge reappointed for four years
more, in spite of the protests of the cit
liens OF Chillicothe. for he has by no
means endeared himself to that NUM-
cipality during his residence there.
The Chillicothe newspapers are again
calling attention. says the Times
Star. to the ba rgain which Won Muegge
made with Grosvcnor. and by the
terms c Z which he has managed 10 stick
In the United States. All this makes
an object lesson Of the kind OF repre-
sentative a strong republican district
will sent 70 congress IL he Is only aude-
cious enough. and able TO shake the
plum tree" often enough. all OF which
Crosvcnor Is to perfection.

That was a graceful compliment
which was paid to the duke of Well
lington by Queen Victoria. Not every
one recalls the fact that certain
style of high boots, not commonly
worn nowadays, bore the name Of
Wellington.
When the duke was prime minister
he once visited Windsor castle to con-
suit with the queen on an important
state matter. The day was damp.
following a heavy rain, and rs the
duke left the castle her majesty re-
marked. Il hope your grace 10 well

THREATEN TROUBLE IN
TYPOGRAPHICAL UNION

A meeting of the typographical
Union has been called for 4:30 o'clock
this afternoon at which time the Of
fetal report of the decision of the
board of arbitration chosen to pass
upon the new scale will be received.
unofficially, ii is known that the de-
cision is against the union and in
stead of increasing the wage so cents
a day it has been decreased that
amount and the length of the day in
creased half hour.
Anticipating the decision, an indig-
nation meeting was held in the
Spokesman Review Office last night.
1t is admitted by the union men
that no strike can occur over the ar
bitration decision Two courses are
open TO them. If they feel aggrieved,
either to stop working as individuals
by resigning their positions, or to
appeal to the international board.

any of the contending elements.

Their course will be determined at to-
days meeting.
President w. II. Upper of the
union several days ago resigned his
position with the Review, having
been refused a 50-cent advance over
his present scale.
1t has been suggested that the
agreement between the National Pub
fishers association and the internal
tional union, under which this arbi-
tration took place, covers only wages,
and as the decision covers both wages
and hours of labor it may not be
binding.
In signed statement to The Press
regarding his decision as arbitrator
Rev. w. NJ. Jones says:
"The decision affects only the
minimum hours and prices of a days
work, which is quite other than a de-
cision as to what the men shall re-
ceive."

TO COST THE GAS
COMPANY $4,000

IF anybody in Spokane has got the
worst of a bargain in many months
it is the Spokane Falls Gas Light
company, which recently closed the
deal for acquiring a part of Main
avenue west of the Monroe street
bridge" said one of the leading civil
engineers of the city this morning.
"One of those who promoted the
deal issued the statement a few days
ago that the retaining wall and fill
could be built for $1,000. The real
facts of the case are that the wall
and fill can not be built for less than
$4,000 at the very lowest estimate,
and the city is to get rent free the
third floor of the handsome building
which the gas people propose to

Again has the grim monster
death, come into our midst and ia
ken one from us that was just bud
ding and unfolding into a life of
fragrance and beauty. The shafts
of the unerring archer are con-
stantly flying; they are striking
down both the young and the old.
Death is no respecter OF persons,
and ere long. that dart commits
stoned with death will fly from its
bow and pierce our hearts. laying
us with the numberless dead that
sleep in the bosom of mother
earth.
On the morning of the 14th inst,
1903. at ] O'Clock, Willie Reel, SON
of Mr.. and Mrs s. 81. Reel, of this
city, departed this life and Joined
the children of the heavenly king
dom. Willie was in his thirteenth
year and was an exceedingly in
telligent boy for his age. Not
withstanding his juvenitity, he at
tended to the duties that would
have devolved and that now de-
volye upon his busy father, who
is engaged as a mechanic at the
furnace, and who consequently
has but little time to attend to the
duties and business of the home
So far as the business transactions
were concerned the father was lit
tie more than a boarder. Willie
took the pocketbook, made the
purchases, doing it as punctually
and economically as anyone could.
He was true and kind hearted TO
the younger children. 1t is be-
lieved that his death is due to a
fall that he sustained in trying to
rescue his younger brother from
an approaching snake.
On his dying bed Willie said:
Papa, l and glad 1 have been a
good boy" And repeatedly he
was heard utter his prayer to Him
who said. Suffer little children to
come unto me, and forbid them
not; for of such is the kingdom of
heaven" The remains were Ia
ken to West Va. for interment,
that being the native state of the
mother.

extend our pr foundest sympathy.

In loving remembrance of our
uncle, George w. Byrd, who died
one year ago today, June q. 1908.
How sadly we have counted the
hours that have measured this sor-
rowful year, since we laid meath a
mantle of flowers the one we loved
SO dear.
The mound where the ivy is creeping,
And the grasses their sad virgil creep,
There is where our loved one is sleep
ing,
Our spirit oft wonders to weep.
The midnight stars are beaming,
Upon our dear ones grave,
Where sleepeth without dreaming,
The dear one we could not save.
Heaven retaineth now our treasure,
Earth the lonely casket keep,
And the sunbeams love to linger,
Where our darling sleeps.
