BOTH ADMIT GUILTY LOVE.
Clergyman Wants Friends Wife and
one Wishes to Marry Him.

CHARLESTON, Wash, Dec. Prev.
C.. A. Horne, who has just resigned
from the Episcopal ministry, has adj
mitted his intention of marrying Mrs.
J. w. Kellinger as soon as he can Sc
cure a divorce from Mrs. Horne and
Mrs. Kellinger from her husband.
Horne left here Wednesday, and is sup
posed to be in Spokane, while Mrs.
Kellinger is visiting friends, in Cali
fornia. Both Mrs. Horne and
Mr.. Kellinger deny suspecting
any undue intimacy between
Horne and Mrs. Kellinger, and each. is
willing to forgive and resume the for
mer relationship. Other people are not
SO charitable. From statements made
by Mrs. Horne to friends, which We're
-corroborated this evening by Mr.. KEEL
finger, it seems that early last sum-
mer Mrs Horne went east to visit
relatives During her absence Mr.. and
Mrs Kellinger made their home with
Rev. Horne, and while Kellinger was
at work at Lewiston Rev. Horne was
ma1dng love to Mrs. Kellinger.
Mrs Horne returned from the east
early in September. Soon afterwards
Rev. Horne told her of his love fol
Mrs. Kellinger, and begged that he be
allowed to secure divorce. The same
rs day Mrs. Kellinger confided in hel
husband, assuring him that the feeling
she had for Rev. Horne was one she
could not control. and that they desired
to secure divorces, when they coulG
be married honorably. Both the injur-
ed parties endeavored to dissuade them
from their purpose, pointing out the
, xiishonor and disaster to follow, and
: neither consented to the others di-
xvorce.
The parties seemed to have tried tt
maintain friendly relations.
Mr.. Kellinger took his 7-year-old
hoy east to relatives. The first of the
month Mrs. Horne went to Spokane
.zand endeavored to secure employment

TO PRESERVE THE GAME

MILTON, Ore.-"An endeavor, be-
tlieye, win be made at the special ses-
sion of the Legislature to preserve the
elks Of our state. said Deputy Game
warden Nye Of Pendleton. who was
here on business.
II have taken this matter, up with
Senator Smith. BY the game law which
went into effect last July. the season
for elk is closed until September is
OF next year. It is my opinion that
is not sufficient time, and the clause
will probably be. amended. !.
Another amendment which win
probably be considered is the shorten
ing Of the season for killing female
deer. The time now is from August is
to November 1. II the mothers are
killed during that period some of the
fawn are not Of sufficient age to pro-
tect themselves, and they.die Another
| amendment which will probably be
considered will be to shorten the sum-
mer open season by one month and
extend it further into the winter. This
would give the settlers chance to
hunt, but with the present law they are
still working on their ranches when the
season closes.
'The appropriation toward the pro-
lection of the game of the state last
session, was $25OO That is not enough
as there are six deputies. The appro-
priation should not he less than $4,000.
Laws Are Violated.
There is reason to believe the game
laws are being violated by some Of
the people of the mountains, but the
state, because of a small, appropriation
will not pay the expenses Of sending
deputy into that section. It is not
the rule of the settlers to inform
against each other, and, therefore, it
is left entirely to the deputies to look
after the matter.
There should be sufficient money
set aside so that one game warden
could be employed continually in east
ern Oregon. He could then attend to
the work of Umatilla, Wallowa, Union
enough work in those cornties to keep
one man busy all the year round"
Mr.. Nye was here to look up the
complaint that some rancher had
damned the Walla Walla river about
six miles below here, thus preventing
the upward travel of the salmon. He
would not give the name of the
rancher, but he said the matter had
been adjusted.

Washington state. The Washing ton
correspondent of the Chicago Chronicle

correspondent of the Chicago Chronicle
writes:
The best dressed member Of the re-
publican national committee was SEN
ator Hepburn Of Idaho. The largest
member in point Of hei 5ht was Graeme
Stewart of Chicago. Mr.. Stewart tow
cred full head above the next tall
est committeeman. Senator Hepburn
also enjo~ed the distinction Of being
the stoutest person who attended the
sessions Of the committee. One or two
others approached within q foot OF
his girth. but, owing to Heyburn's
taste in dressing, he really looked
smalled than his competitors. After
Hepburn, Judge Van Fleet of Cali
fornia was the best dressed member.
and, next to Postmaster General Payne
he was the most polite. Sam Raymond
Of Chicago, who was present as the
spokesman of that city. displayed
more gorgeous raiment than all of the
other distinguished republicans in town
put together. His colored waistcoats
were dreams of art that were only APP
preached in beauty by his ties.
All Wore Evening Dress.
All of the members of the committee,
including Senator Hanna. wore even
ing dress around the hotel corridors
every night they were in town. That
is regarded as part Of the routine Of
the quadrennial meeting of the ma
tional committee. Even the territorial
mebers observe it faithfully. Senator
Hanna does not run to dress. Neither
does Postmaster General Payne. Han
ma wears an ordinary sack coat that
ment of alpaca and his trousers bag at
the knees. General Payne wears nice
fitting cutaway, but it was evidently
made by tailor who did not try to
have his distinguished customer con-
sidered a well-dressed man.
The Silk Hat Habit.
OF the southern members John G.
Capers, United States district attorney
for South Carolina, was the only one
who appeared with a silk hat. Capers
contracted the silk hat habit while he
was serving in Washington as assist
ant attorney general. The only negro
member of the committee was Lyons
of Georgia, wwho holds the position of
recorder of deeds for the District of
Columbia. This is one Of the best pay
ing offices in the country and the ne
gro statesman who holds it, whether
democrat or republican, is universally
acknowledged to be the uncrowned
king of the negro population of Wash
ington.
Formerly there were at least three
negro members of the committee from
southern states, but the policy of Presi-
dent Mckinley to encourage the move
ment for white domination in that
section cut them all out except Lyons.
He survived chiefly because he resided
in Washington and was where he could
be reached by the powers that be.

NOME TO GAMBLE ON HIGH SEAS
Ice Of 5ehring Sea Will Support an Ar
tic Monte Carlo Resort.

NOME, Alaska, Dec. 22.-Out on the
ice of Behring Sea, beyond the reach
of the authorities of the city of Nome,
of the United States. of any other
country in the world, the gamblers of
this northern region will erect modern
Monte Carlo, where the revels Of the
most famous gambling establishment
in the world win be duplicated as near
ly as winter almost within the Attic
circle will permit.
A marine league from shore big
building will be erected in which will
be gambling halls, a theatre, a saloon,
dance pavilions and hotel.
The structure is in process of con-
struction in sections. When it is ready
the pieces will be sledded out to the
frozen territory of all nations and there
like magic, a structure will be reared
When the ice king ceases to reign DER
Behring Sea, the building will fall to
pieces, and will go whittier it came,
to be preserved for another season of
revelry when few more months have
rolled away.
Will Stand Over the Sea.
The pleasure house will stand over
many hundreds of feet of the waters
of Behring Sea- It's foundation will
be safe, however, for the ice during the
winter reaches an enormous thickness.
At first the project was regarded as inn
practicable, but the gambling house
which is to defat the purpose Of the
municipal regulations of Nome will
merely rest on the ice and il the big
pack moves, as it is said sometimes to
do, neither the building nor its in
mates will be disturbed. Thus it is
planned to get ahead Of nature as well
as of the Nome authorities.
Each night stages win ply between
the gambling house and the shore.
The sporting elment Of Nome chafed
under the restraints Of closed town.

TO SAVE VICTOR'S NECK.
Strong Affdavits to Secure New
Trial.

DAVENPORT, Wash, Dec. 22.-Mar-
tin & Walters, attorneys for Cy Vic
tor, who was recently convicted Of the
murder of Charles Thennis, have filed
seven affidavits relating to the pending
motion for new trial.
The most vital affidavit is that made
by Charles Groves, a veterinary sur
geon, of Davenport. In the trial of the
case the state introduced testimony
to show that upon the fatal evening
Victor left Wilbur on the Govan road.
He was not seen by any one who re-
cognized him after he left Wilbur. One
witness, however, testified to seeing
man riding a sorrel horse half way
between Wilbur and Govan. DR..
Groves makes oath that he was travel
ing from Govan to Wilbur during the
time that the state claimed Victor
made the ride over the same ground
The affidavit states that the aff1ant
passed but one traveller upon the way.
That traveller, the oath states, was
man wearing a full black beard and
mounted upon a sOrrel horse with
blazed face. DR.. Groves swears posi-
lively that the horseman was not the
condemned murderer. The affidavit
further states that 10 days after the
above occurrence the affiant saw the
same rider and sorrel horse pass
through Davenport, going in an east
erly direction, and that the rider act
ed in a suspicious manner and rode
down a back street, as if desiring to
avoid observation.
Threat by Thennis.
H. N. Martin makes aff1davitt that
the murdered man had threatened the
life of w. Blake of Wilbur, that the
two men had some misunderstanding
over the ownership of the property oc-
prominent business man and banker of
Wilbur.
The attorney also tells of a suspi-
cious looking stranger being in the
saloon the day of the murder. 1t is
stated that the stranger watched the
movements of Thennis so closely as to
cause the latter to become alarmed.
Mrs. Claud Crow of Davenport makes
affidavit that Mrs. Thennis told her
that she and Mr.. Thennis saw stran-
ger tie sorrel horse under the ware
house the evening of the tragedy. And
also that Mrs. Thennis told her that she
could have told a great deal more
about the murder if the prosecuting
attorney had allowed her to do so.
Mrs. C. p. Holmes and Mrs. Ida
Holmes claim to have overheard the
above conversation between Mrs
Thennis and Mrs. Crow.
The defendant files objections to the
manner of selecting the jury and OF
conducting the case. He states that
some person remarked in the hearing
of the jury that che would hate to be
tried by that - jury" Victor main
tains that the jurymen construed this
remark as coming from one of his
friends, which would prejudice the jury
against the, defendant.
= :. Jurors Opinion.
Emil Grutt makes oath that shortly
after the conclusion of the trial he
heard Juryman John Railey say thai
he was sorry that he brought in a YER
dict of guilty" and that if he ha6
it to do over again he would acqui'
the prisoner.

a WORD TO DEMOCRATS.

THE TIME HAS COME when it is
possible TO expect the election or
the Democratic city ticket. A few weeks
ago the Democrats were disorga nized.
hopeless Today they are hopeful and
lighting hard They feel that they have
more than an outside chance to win.
The campaign was started practically
without money, entirely without organ
izauon. almost without chance OF sue
cess. The situation has assumed a more
roseate hue nov.
Some of the most prominent men i'm
the Republican party have declared
their independence OF bCssism and ma
chine rule They have said that the
issue before the people Of salt Lake
this year is not a political issue. Ii is
good government versus bad govern
ment. government Of by and for the
people against government OF, by and
Cor She machine. 1t takes a deal Of
moral courage for longtime party men
10 make such declarations. and The
Herald honors the men who have made
them.
The Herald honors. too. the hundreds
of Republicans who are saying nothing
hut whe intend to vote this year against
their party ticket. We blame them not
for Keeping their own counseIs. They
have "a right 20 think as they please and

party boss are they responsible. III in
aications mean anything, the trend Of
sentiment is overwhelmingly toward
the Democratic ticket today. we do

But wc would have the Democrats

from former successful campaigns. the

AN AMERICAN AlRsHIP.

mr.. AUGUST GRETH Of San Fran
- cisco hasn't been making much
fuss about his airship. but he seems to
have constructed one that comes nearer
solving the problem of aerial naviga-
tion than anything that has yet been
tested. Had it not been for one misfOr-
tune-there seems always to be a mis-
fortune Of some sort with the airship
men-his trial Of Sunday last would
have been a complete success. For some
reason which has not been explained.
DR.. Greth's motor. supposed to develop
twelve horsepower, developed only six.
AS a result he was unable to make
Roadway against a stiff breeze. His
object apparently was to circle the
Call building. the tallest in San Fran
cisco. but. on account of the motor de-
feet noted, he was obliged to give it up.
With the wind behind him, though Dr.
Greth. according to the reports, went
through some steering maneuvers with
eminent success. Through a miscaIcu-
latiou the inventor descended in. the
bay but his machinery was not dam
another trial trip.
The dispatches indicate that DR.
Greth has followed rather closely the
Santos-DumOnt construction principles
His steering gear is much the same as
the Brazilian's. and his balloon is mod
eled along the same cylindrical lines.
However. the ease with which the ma

Americans.
The Herald has always believed, in
spite of the strides made by French
men and others, that when the prob

be solved by an American. The recent
