is NOW MRS. PARKER,
THIS TIME 1T is A WOMAN WHO
PASSES FORGED CHECKS.
Does Up Merchants at EIIensburo e
the Tune Of Several Hundred
Dollars.

The police of Walla Walla have
been notified that T. w. Parker is not
the only one of that name wanted for
passing bad paper. This time it is a
woman who called herself Myra F.
Parker. She is charged with swindling
merchants of Ellensburg, Wash, to the
tune of several hundred dollars. and
the police of all the northwest cities
are looking for the largest addition to
the list of stage money crooks
Accompanied by a pretty little girl
of about years. Mrs Parker. as she
called herself, passed a number of
checks bearing the name Of the Wash
ington State Bank of Elensburg.
Her method was to enter a store, make
number of small purchases and then
present a large check upon the home
bank. The paper looked all right.
So did the woman, and so did the lit
tie girl. But the paper at least was
worthless.
Sheriff L. R. Thomas, of Kittitas
county, Wash. has sent out the fol-
lowing description Of the alleged wo-
man forger:
In appearance a German or Swede
feet inches in height, wearing light
coat, white shawl, gray skirt, small
dark hat, thin, pale face; blue eyes
glasses.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Mr.. Robert B. Mantell, the world
renowned romantic actor will appear at
the Grand Opera House, Sept. 18th,
matinee and night. Every heart has its
chord Of romance, and when its harp
strings are swept by monster hand it
surely must respond. What is more
touching than the sight of youth mourn
ing over its dead love, mother wearing
out her soul in grieving for an absent
child, strong manhood bowed down
over the loss of all that makes life life.
And what more joyful to witness than
| the heart rebound, the life reborn in a
glorious sunset of love, resurrected
after a morning Of terror, MONDAY of
gloom. Such is the story of 1.-The Light
of Other Days" 1t is a wonderful
picture, dark in its depths and golden in
it's reliefs. "The Light of Other Days"
is romance, pure and simple, and as
played by Robert B. Mantell, accom-
panied by Miss Marie Booth Russell
and his company, it seems a reality
which appeals alike to the heart, the
senses and the intellect.
d. g. Virgins has made arrange
ments with Robert B. ManteIl to play d
special matinee on Friday afternoon,
September 49, The curtain will not
rise until o'clock, in order to give
teachers and school children a chance
to see this famous actor. Special trains
will be run from all surrounding towns.
Trains will leave at II O'Clock after the
night performance.

Is Created Bv Action of County
Board.
THE ANNUAL MEETING is HELD
The Appropriations and Levies are Made
for the Coming Year, and Some
Other Matters of Business are
Transacted

The county board met in annua.
session Tuesday, for the purpose
of making the qualizations and
levies. In addition to this business
the board set off the new town of
barnes, detaching the territory
for the same firm the lows of Drum.
mond and Iron River, taking one
township from each of the towns.
The new town will be composed of
town "A and 45, in range 9, and they
will come into existance at once
The movement vas pushed before
the board by George S. Barnes, and
he had the active assista of Sup
ervirors Sauve and Drummond.
The board looked upon the move
ment with favor, inasmuch as the
new town of Barnes is among the
best of the agricultural region of
Bayfield, county. 1t is located in
the vicinity of Eau Claire lakes.
There was very spirited contro-
versy between the different town
supervisors in relation to the valu-
atoms to be made, and for time it
looked as though there would be
some bad blood. However all the
towns came out with about what
they wanted, with the exception of
Bayfield,, which will have to stand q
raise. The equalization is given be-
low. together with the figures for
last year, which are published as
matter of reference. They are as

DESTROYED Bv Fire During SATURDAY.
Night.
1T WILL NOT BE REBUILT AGAIN
While the Loss Runs UP Into the Thous-
Still 1t Had Paid for Itself and Does
Not Affect the Company Ma
terialIy.-No Insurance.

The Fowler-Jacobs mill burned to
the ground shortly after midnight
Sunday. When the fire was dis
covered the mill was ablaze in every
part, and by the time the different
fire companies reached the place
there was nothing that could be
done to save the building or It's con-
tents, and the attention of the fire.
men was turned towards saving the
large amount of stock that was
piled near the mill, and there was no
loss to this of Importance. The loss
of the mill was quite severe blow
to the firm, inasmuch as it deprived
them of the means of manufacturing
their product, but aside from that
Mr.. Jacobs says they will not loose
heavily, as the plant was bought in
by the company at very small
figure. To replace it would cost
SIS, 900, but to the company the loss
was comparatively small. The ORR
gin of the fire is unk no wn, and there
seems to be no one to throw any
light upon it. For the past two
years there has been no insurance
upon the mill, and arrangements
and improvements had practically
been completed so that insurance
could be carried, but the property
was total loss as conditions stood.
The mill will not be rebuilt, but
there is probability that arrange
ments may be made whereby the
company will continue to do bust
ness in the city. The mill has
not been used for lumber
for some time, but operated in the
manufacture of poles, shingles, etc.
Recently considerable OF the machin-
cry was taken to VanBuskirk, near
Hurley, where IL is being used in
the com pany's plant.

Capt. Jackson's Hepoisr1.

The heroism of Captain Jackson,
OF the Steamer Yale, which trades
here, taking grain every week from
the elevator, is told in the recent
dispatches to the public press,
In communication to the Marine
Review Capt. j. J. Ell. Beam the we'll
known vessel owner of Buffalo SAYS:
The rescue of the crew of the
steamer Sauber, except Capt. Morris
and one of the crew, by Capt jack
son OF the steamer Yale at the time
OF the sinking of the Sauber in a
very heavy gale on Lake Superior
On the night Q: Oct. rs, was, am
convinced, an unusually meritorious
act. have learned from those who
were on Lake Superior that night
that the wind blew at the rate of
sixty miles an hour. The particular
circumstances of the rescue | have
also learned, and among other things
that the Yale lay to windward Of the
Sauber from IL o'clock D. m. until
5 o'clock .. M, when the Sauber
went down, and was so Unanswered
as to keep in position to afford some
protection to the sinking Sauber,
acting somewhat as break water,
and her being IL that position and
as close to the Sauber as it was
possible to be prudently, enabled
them to save the crew, who at the
last moment, had got into boats, lost
their oars, and if they had been ex-
posed to the full force of the wind
fand waves, the boats would doubt
less have been swamped. AS it was
l am informed that within thl ee
minutes from the time the men TOOK
to the boats they had been picked
up by the Yale. I believe it is a rule
of the treasury department. (now the
department of commerce) that to
entitle one to a medal for life saving
the service must have been perform,
ed at considerable risk to the person
doing it. If that be so, I think
Capt. Jackson has qualified, for the
Yale was grain loaded (grain in bulk)
and while lying rolling in the trough
of the sea to windward of the Sauber,
the cargo of the Yale shifted, great
ly importing the safety of the ship,
and still the Yale maintained her
perilous position until the last living
man of the crew OF the Sauber had
been saved. In justice to Capt.
Jackson, and as an encouragement
to others to emulate his noble ex-
ample should opportunity offer, I
think that application should be
made by the Lake Carriers Associa-
ton, or the owners of the Yale. or
Sauber, or all three parties, for a
medal for Capt, Jackson; and I trust
you will give the matter enough
publicity to call their attention to it.
