child's hair is brown and his eyes
are blue. The left eye is slightly
crossed. His undertaking is neat
and well made, although of coarse
material.
When bedtime came Freddie quiet
ly went to sleep. He seemed per-
fectly content with his new home.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jodoin at once set
to work canvassing the neighborhood
for further clues as to the identity
of their visitor. No one had seen
the child and none knew him. Four
times the police station was called
up to see if anyone had made inquiry
for a lost child; but no such inquiry
had been made.
This morning Mr. Jodoin renewed
the search for Freddie's relatives,
but there is still. no clue. This is the
first case in several years when a
child as large as Freddie has been
abandoned, and the police are at a
loss TO account for the mystery.
Freddie seems thoroughly content
with his new home. He is a healthy
child, has a good appetite and sleeps
well. Apparently he has been well
cared for in the past. There is a
bare possibility that the lad may
have been brought to Spokane from
some outlying town for the purpose
of being abandoned.
Unless the little boy is claimed by
this afternoon, he will probably be
sent to one of the city orphanages.

The ministers of the city are nudging

Rev. DR.. A. X. Lambert of the First
Methodist church has builded for him

limitations that the doctor has hus-
tied for this business, the same as the
justices Of the peace used to do before
the new law went into effect COMPEL
ing them to turn in the fees to the
county treasurer for performing mar
riage ceremonies. At all events he
ties more marital knots than all of
the other ministers in Spokane.
There is no question about the doe
tor having an eye to business and
there is no doubt whatever about his
making more revenue in splicing peo-
pie than he does in preaching the gos-
pei. His ministerial vocation seems to
be used as a sort of leverage to bring
lovers to him who want to unite their
fortunes for life, and that the doctor
performs the ceremony in a manner
eminently satisfactory to all concerned

ing, and planned to enter into Il con-
tract for the printing Of several hun
bred of the cards.
Next the brigadier called on Assist
ant Corporation Counsel Judsen and
Justice Hinkle to look up the law in
the matter. He found that the state
law provides a penalty for the offense
OF having in possession one of these
cards, a fine that can go as high as
5000, or three years in the peniten-
tiary, or both.
The city law, passed year ago last
January, is more lenient, providing
fine OF from $40 to 800 for each Of

Today arrangements were made for
the arrest of the proprietor Of saloon
at Front avenue and Stevens street,
for the arrest of two saloon poprietoSs
on Division street. and for the arrest
of the printer who got out the cards.
This Is the first instance OF the kind
in Spokane, and the officials propose
to make examples of the guilty per-
sons that will last ior years to come.

Wylie C. Morris, the railroad pro-
moter of this city, who raised the
money for the building of the Hot Air
line from Republic to the Canadian
Pacific in opposition to James j. Hill,
has again taken the field against the
railroad kings, and has induced the
wealthy farmers of Gillian county,
Ore, to build a railroad of their own.
Gillian county is ia the northeast
ern part Of Oregon and borders on the
Columbia river. The only railroad in
the county is the o. Il. & n. branch of
the Hartman roads, which hugs the
banks Of the Columbia river along the
northern edge Of the county.
Gillian county is one of the richest
counties In Oregon, agriculturally, and
for years the farmers have sought
to have a spur built by the o. r. 4 N.

The Press has been around town

"Mot one cent" was the invariable
reply.
Then why should Spokane present
a gang Of rich men with $4,000 for

Yes. and before II is completed it

Answer, simply because the men In
