PLANS OF THE LOBBY.

According to Dave Larimer, The
Politician" of the Spokesman Review,
who is doing a little accommodating for
his paper on the Sound, the politicians
who are cOnspiring to defeat Governor
Mcbride are canvassing the relative
strength of three gubernatorial candi-
dates. These three men are State Audi
tor j. D. Atkinson of Chelan county,
State Senator J. j. Smith of King
county and c. J. Lord. whose term as
mayor of Olympia is about to expire.
Practically all the other candidates
have been eliminated. State Senator
Charles j. Roths chances went gIim-
mering when the Mcbride forces car
ried the city of 8ellingham last Tues
day by a pronounced majority. The
candidacy of Judge John H. Humph-
ries of Seattle is a joke to everybody
but himself. one doesn't hear any sug
gestion on the Sound of Miles Point
dexter or Colonel w. NJ. Ridpath Of
Spokane or OF j. y. Pickrell or J. c.
Lawrence Ct Whitman. S. G.. Cosgrove
of Garfield eliminated himself by his
declaration in favor of Governor Nc
Bride. 1t seems to be a case of At
kinSOn, Smith or Lord so far as the
railroads are concerned.
The correspondent says that Mayor
Lord may be disposed of in a word.
Up to the present time his support in
his home county is not sincere. He
has been brought out solely to take the
Thurston county delegation away from
Mcbride Mr.. Lord is a very serious
candidate himself but he is absolutely
dependent for support at home upon
the ScObey- Madge machine, which will
do all it can for him at home, wni.e it
will give him a delegation that can
be used either for him or against him,
as the eXigencies of the state conven-
ton may require. There will be a
battle royal for the control of Thurs
ton county and the present outlook is
that Governor Mcbride will have the
delegation and that Mr.. Lord will be
eliminated before the state convention
meets
DR.. Smith of King county is the
choice Of the ultra railroad lobby ag-
gregation. The sinister shadow of
George H. Stevenson. the boss rail-
road lobbyist, turks behind Smiths
candidacy. and with Smith governor,

WHAT HAPPENED. TO FREEMAN

This good gentleman of Cass cOun-
ty, Missouri, first cOurted trouble by
means of a want ad. which he COM
posed as follows:
Ladies, your attention, please, If
you are hunting husband l snail
be easily found; 1 am 81 years of
age and money is no object to or
with me, but a good woman is.
This lottery ticket, as it We're, drew
a widow Mr.. Freeman says that the
lady Informed him that she was worth
$4,000, and he, heedlessly. cOurted her,
incidentally telling her that he was a
rich farmer. Afterwards, to a jury of
twelve peers, he explained that he had
lied to her. Said he: 1T was as big
a walloper as | ever told, and I've told
some in my time. | lied to her about
that. My only excuse is that | was
redhot to get her. An | hold that all s
fair in courtin' and boss tradin'. l tell
you, when I thought she was worth
$4,000 she looked mighty good to me.
l tell you, men, money comes purity
She may have a hip knocked down or
two or three splnt knots and spaVins,
but if she's got money she looks as
clean-cut and smooth limbed as a
young colt. Yes sir, this one looked
mighty sweet to me till | found out she
had nothin' on earth. Her beauty jist
seemed to fade away with that $4,000,
and l soured on her right there
According to reports, the lady had
borrowed $45 of him. When l found
out that she didn't have nothin'" he
continued to the jury. L jist hatcher
ally went back on her and demanded
that $45. When she wouldn't pay it
had her arrested. Maybe I hadn't
ought to done that. If l had it to do
over again l wouldn't do it. oBut hind
sight is always better than foresight"
The jury likewise considered that he
hadn't ought to done it, and they
awarded the lady $1,000 damages
against him for false arrest.
This suit somehow gives the i'm
preston that alls not as open and
ABOVE DOard as It SnOuIQ De IN 1lldIrN1-
mony and in the negotiations leading
thereto. This same Mr.. Freeman, who
is 65 years old, instead of 81, as his
al set forth, admits that he has been
engaged SO many times that he can't
remember 'em all. and by his own
statement he seems to have been out
after the dough each time. And upon
the whole, the evidence showed that in
the present case the parties want
particularly stuck on each other
The $1,000 verdict should have a sal
utary effect generally. For the good
of the institution of marriage, more of
our insincere and sordd old gallants
ought to be punished. On the other
hand, there is not much sympathy for
the widows who consent to be wOoed
through the medium of a catrimonial
ad. and then miSrepreSent their fiscal
conditions. Though JoVe, perhaps,
laughs at lovers perjuries, he surely
must be sickened at the false returns
of those impecuniOus old dodderers
who would turn the sacred temples
into money marts. The lovers that
Jove and all mankind love are of a
very different order.

for governor mainly to hurt Piles sem
atorial candidacy and with a view to
getting Smith out of the way if Furth
can be brought into the senatorial race
with his barrel. One of the seven,
Andrew Heinrich, the wealthy brewer,
is said to have broken away from the
rest of the gang on the governorship
and to be for Mcbride.
There are a good many indications
that State Auditor Atkinson will final
ly be selected as the man to pit against
Mcbride The suggestion of his candi-
dacy comes from politicians who, while
friendly to and in harmony with the
railroad lobby, fear the effect of nomi-
mating a pronounced tool of the lobby,
like DR.. Smith. They claim for At
kinson that he comes from eastern
Observation-Disclosures county-and that
he has never been identified hitherto
with railroad politics. The fact that
eastern Washington will slump heav-
lily against the republican state ticket
is planted strongly in the breasts of
ing a straight-Out railroad fight, want
to work political confidence game.
For such purpose Atkinson appears to
be the most available candidate. Some
of these men even go as far as to say
that after eliminating Mcbride the
party should adopt a railroad commits
sion plank for the purpose of still fur
Their aSSuaging the wounds Of eastern
Washington, relying upon a hostile
senate or a plastic governor to prevent
such a measure becoming law or else
hoping to extract the fangs of the law
through the appointments of the gov
ernOr. Nominate Atkinson, a color
less candidate, and trust to the Lord
and RoOsevelt's popularity to pull us
through" is the slogan Of a good many
aStute men who are fighting Mcbride.
Larimer adds that ex-senator George
Turner of Spokane would feel flattered
if he knew the terror which his name
inspires in the breasts of railroad re-
publicans. viii Turner rum" or DO
you think Turner will accept the demo-
cratic nominations are the questions
which have been pumped at the wan
derer from Spokane by at least forty
Mcbride men in the past week.
That Turner would make mincemeat of
DR.. Smith and defeat that individual!
in his own county is conceded by prac-
tically everybody but Smiths closest
friends, and even the Atkinson BOOM
eTs grow somewhat Respondent when
Turner's name is mentioned.

GETTING READY FOX DEBATE.

The date for the interstate collegiate

college will have the negat tive OF the

scented by Edward D. Baldwin, Hez
Brown and Gaius Greenslade. The

pairing themselves for the event. The

Walla Walla is now making an enort
to secure lower freight rates. Last
winter many of the citizens advocated
the election of a home candidate for
the United States senate by the sacri-
fee of the railway commission bill
and all other measures intended to Sc
cure lower freight rates. Now in all
candor, was not the Statesman loyal to
home interests when it opposed the
sacrifice of the commission bill and
lower freight rates for the sake of Sc
curing United States senator accept
able to the railroad lobby? Walla Wal
la cannot secure lower freight rates
without a general reduction all along
the line and the railroads are not now
showing any disposition to reduce the
rates. On the contrary the gem
eral tendency now in all great in
dustrial enterprises is toward higher
prices and rates and lower wages.
Hartman is now trying 70 force Jim
Hill into raising the freight rates on
lumber to the east, and other increases
will soon be in order.

Jackson. KY. June 6.-Harry Sizemore.
John Sandlin and Lee Combs were lodged in
Jail here to-day by Constable Bolin and a
squad Of soldiers under Lieutenant Glenn
ems, who went 20 Goebers Gap last night
on information that the Hargis-CockriH
feud had broken out there.
1t seems that a man named James GAY 4
farmer about Co years old. who had been
summoned to Jackson as juror last week.
and was not used on the jury. had returned
hcme. and, becoming intoxicated, denounced
the Marcums, Titles and Captain Dan
Hurst for filling Jackson with soldiers. He
said they mad caused cannon to be pointed
into the store of County Judge Hargis. and
had q whole army of soldiers about the Jail.
John Sandln and Harry SiZemore, who
are related to the Hursts. took offense at
the statement of Gay. and Sandlin drew his
revolver and tried to shoot Gay.
Combs caught Sandlin and tried to wrench
his revolver from him. This started q gen.
eral fight, in which ten men took part, dx.
ing thirty shots.
Gay was shot dead as he sought safety
behind u tree. and Sandlin was wounded in
the right shoulder. When the smoke cleared
away, the place was blood-stained for some
distance. and it is believed some men who
have not yet been identified We're wounded.

who visited the place for the purpose OF
making the arrest declare it is an outcrop-
Ling OF ine harsis-Cockrill feud, and they
believe the danger is not over, as all the
men are widely connected and the friends of
Gay are especially bitter in their threats
of revenge.

Moody for this appointment. and many OIL
GERS regard his chances as excellent. He is
now general inspector of the pay corps but
one objection made to him is that he is

would be promotion that would bar many

Friends of Pay Director Harris are still
confident that he will be appointed.

which have had the same chief for the last

Washington. June 6.-The Browns and
Senator'S picked out an hour and a half
between showers this afternoon and played
a game that was notable for the smuggling
CT the home team and the light work with
the stick by the visitors.
A rain between and 4 o'clock made the
grounds very bad to work on and Wyatt
Lee had the good end Of the pitching argu-
ment He was almost invincible, winning
his first game of the year and having
plenty in reserve.
The Browns made two singles off him in
the opening inning, but Burkett spoiled the
chance Of a possible score by being caught
off first. Four innings then passed without
safe drive, but Mccormick got one In the
sixth. Mccormick hit safe in the seventh,
and Heidrick picked out a good one in the
final turn. He got to second on wild pitch,
and that was the limit of base running for
his side.
WALLACE IN OLD FORM.
Wallace. Padden and Mccormick nut up
the same high quality of ball that charac-
terized their work throughout the series and
Wallace was particularly brilliant on sew
eral occasions. picking off hits that seemed
safe and landing his men at first. Burkett
was charged with an error for letting a
single get through him. Heidrick hurried
Clarke's drive back to first SO quick that
mad 1t been a true throw. CLARKE would have
been nailed.
Mccormick made wild throw to first
and that was the extent of the Browns
misplays. SUgden collided with the players

miracle that he was not injured. for the
bench toppled over and he with 1t. The
