A consultation between Mr.. Dudley,

Counsel Conner was held and. notice
was given that the suit would begin
at once, as the mayor refused to ap-
prove contracts without the provi-

The ground taken by Mr.. Broad is
that both the city ordinance and the
state law are invalid. This is the first
attack made on the state law which
was passed by the legislature this
year. This suit will directly involve
the constitutionality OF the measure.

Deputy Prosecutor Would Like to
Succeed Mcbride.
The rumored candidacy of Deputy
Prosecuting Attorney Miles Poindex-
ter for governor has created some
gossip among local politicians, says
the Spokesman-Review. The most
generally accepted story IS that dur
ing the presence of Ed S. Hamilton
and a number of other railroad poll
ticians in Spokane last week, R. Lew
is Rutter, secretary of the Spokane &
Eastern Trust company, threw out
"feelers" to see how Mr.. Poindexters
name would be received. Mr. Rutter
is Mr.. Poindexter's brother-in-law. It
can be stated definitely that Mr.. Pom
uexter and Mr.. Hamilton did not per-
sonally discuss the matter.
Mr. Rutter denies that he has had
any hand n starting a boom for Mr.
Poindexter

night, ''and the only time l have men
toned Mr.. Poindexter's name was to

Mr. PoinGexter has been a republi-
can since 1896. Prior to that time he
was a democrat, and was elected by
that party as prosecuting attorney of
Walla Walla county He moved to
Spokane in 1897, and in 1899 was ap-
pointed deputy prosecuting attorney
as republican. He has held that Of

so, which means that the senior num-
Der of this combination of magazines
has reached an age rarely attained
by a periodical. Away back IN 1914
the late Robert Bonner laid the foun-
dations of The New York Ledger,
which resulted in fame and fortune
for himself, and in the beautiful maya
zine our readers are now enjoying,
for them. How he accomplished MS
lifewOrk and how he employed that
magnificent fortune, when the rich,
golden harvest was at last his, 1t will
be our pleasure to tell in future is
sue. The point now to be observed is
that we shall soon cross our slxtleth
Threshold; that Robert Boomers Ledg-
er still lives and f1ourishes like a
green bay tree, though nourished and
cared for by other hands.
To the present generation, the al
lection and loyalty which our read
ers Of Boomers Ledger" felt and ex-
hibited for publication and publisher
are incomprehensible. They not only
took and read the Ledger, but they
often stood on the curbstone and wait
ed for 1t to appear; they stood by 1t,
and swore by it. Indeed many of the
subscribers on our books today have
never been without the magazine
since the ffties and sixties.
No stronger constituency exists in
the world than one like this. 1t is
not merely that of buyer and seller
but rather that of a big, harmonious

REVIVAL
NEEDED
To Awaken the World
From Its Lethargy
10 DECLARES IAN MACLAREN
Workinamen Have Left the Church
Because 1t Sympathizes With
Capital.

Chicago, Oct. 16.-The Rev. John
Watson Clan MacLaren), author of
Beside the Bonnie Brier Bush," has
published a brochure which expresses
the belief that the world is on the
eve of the greatest religious revival
since the days when all Rome sue
cumbed to the teachings of Christ in
the first century. The first copy OF
the document has just arrived from
London. The preacher-author says:
THE two most prominent factors
in the world today wiki derive the
most benefit from this world wide re-
vival.
They are first the well-to-do classes
rolling in opulency and ease-the
proud and naughty, who look down
on the rest of the world. They will
be shaken out of their self-composure
and selfshness.
Second, the proletariat, who, in
this city, as every one knows, reads
the Clarion, and, in America, as ev-
cry one knows. the anarchist organs.
These will be benefited by the new
coming of Christ into the hearts of
the people These have been alenat-
ed from Christ in way the church
has no conception of.
Laborers Leave Church.
1T is not wonderful that the work
ing men have left the church, since
they have reason to believe the church
sides with the capitalists in the city
and the landlords in the country.
The church has not taken that hl,-
name interest in the working men
lit should"
The Rev. Mr.. Watson then CON-
plains that the world has not ad-
vanced with years and is at a stand
still as far as religion and certain
phases of literature are concerned.
No great men are being brought in
TO active life. He continues:
Except in the realm of science no
real progress is being made, no great
men are rising, no poets, no novelists.
NO painters, no statesmen, no preach
ers. 1t is an age of mediocrity and
commonplaceness. :.
We are tired, therefore, we are
restless, and Matthew Arnold's
words are still truer today than when
ne wrote: Your creeds are dead,
your rites are dead, our social order,
too; where tarries he-the power
who said: See, l make all things
new"?'
What does all this mean? 1t means
that the world is in want Of some
sh1ng, in want Of a revivifying force
II there ever was a time when the
world needed this, that time is now
If there is one thing the Christian
world needs today it is a repetition of
that movement which passed over the
Roman empire in the first century
and saved society from dissolution,
that movement which in literature is
called the renaissance in spiritual
life revival

known here through a recent COM

TO Major Sylvester, superintendent of
the local police force. The transact

800. Burglar Mason will pay for his
part in the deal by a somewhat ex-

Moundsville penitentiary. He Is now
under arrest.
In 1899, the Washington police force
was kept busy by an epidemic Of
burglaries, about thirty neat jobs, ap-
parently the work Of the same ex-
pert, being reported within a remark
ably short time. Among the victims
was Senator Mason, who told Major
Sylvester that his house had been
broken into and robbed Of $500 in
cash, considerable silver and jewelry
and a watch chain and charm The
charm contained a miniature Of a de
ceased child of the senator and was
considered by him as the most serious
of his losses He inserted an adver-
tisement in a New York newspaper
describing the charm and picture and
promised to pay 800 reward for its
return mo questions asked but he
really did not expect to recover the
trinket
Some weeks later, while the sena-
tor was listening TO an argument on
the senate floor, a page handed him a
card bearing the name civilian E.

release from jail Of G. F. Fulkerson,
the North Yakima harvester, w1o
was with Petrie on the Northern Pa
&c freight train when the killing oc-
Cured Neither the coroner, the
jury. nor the police believe Fulkerson
guilty of the murder They believe
the deed was peroetrated by murder
GUS hoboes, bent on robbery.
Practically the only new fact de-
veloped at the inquest was contained
in the testimony OF Miss Lulu Wiley.
Petrie's fance, whom he accompaT-
led to Spangle Sunday morning. The
principal point in her testimony was
the summing up Of the money Petrie
had Miss WILEY said that he had s29
when they got on the train at SDo-
hSNhS ii4O4 ms at 81 ~
Spangle. There were several drurke'
men on the train, she said, SO Pe'rfe
decided to go to Spangle with her.
At Spangle he spent so cents for their
lunch and 50 for d rig to drive her
to her boarding place three miles east
of the city.
Following up subsequent expendi
lures made by Petrie, as shown by
Fulkerson, he spent nearly 81. Miss
Wiley said he had $40 in his pocket
book. When the BODY was searched
SIS gold piece and a few cents were
found in Petrie's pockets. His purse
and the 500 gold piece were gone.
Body Was Searched.
After the murder the body was evil

from Fulkerson's story. The muir
derers probably rolled the body over
and made hurried search, taking the
pocketbook and overlooking the S.
because it was loose in his pockets.
Miss Wiley said that the last she
saw of Fulkerson was about 4:30 Sun
day afternoon. Fulkerson says Wiley
boarded the train at Spangle about 4
o'clock.
Fulkerson was the second witness
called at the inquest. His story was
practically the same as has been re-
lated, and was told in straightfor-
ward manner, so that the jurymen
were heard afterwards remarking
about how straight a story Fulkerson
told
Chief Woydt was called and told of
calling W. j. Nickerson Of Plea over
the telephone and accounting for all
of Fulkerson's money, and Of the high
recommendation given by Nickerson.

Yesterday afternoon in honor of their
sister, Mrs. William Stewart Dinwiddie,
of Chicago.
The ladies were met at the door by
little Misses Eugenia Clark and Marion

guests were ushered into the parlors by
MIS- j. M. Turner. At the front parlor
door was a gaily decorated sleigh in
which sat little Miss Elizabeth Kilgore

presented the score cards. These were
bright red stars.
At each table was an amusing and
unique set of questions, all relating in
some way to the Christmas tide. The
rr;ze, a copy of Col. Carriers Christmas,
was won by Mrs. Chas. McKimmon and
the consolation, a Christmas box OF
Huyler's candy, went to Mrs. Franklin
Mcneil.
The house was beautifully decorated
with palms, tra.l ling cedar and holly and
these, with the red lights and the many
red candles, made a bright Christmas
scene.
Dainty and delicious refreshments were
served by Dughi; the ices were in shapes,

After the first alarm of fire when the
excitement was at it's height two explo-

fragments through the roof. 1t was tten
that the flames broke out of the root and

Most OF the occupants of the first GAL

fire burst out with one simultaneous rush
they made for the exits. In the aisles they

bodies upright, wedged between chairs
