ABERDEEN BURNED, SEVEN MILLIONS LOSS
WILL SHELVE SANDERS
FOR THE SECOND PLACE

William Michael Of Seattle will be
the nominee of the republican party
for lieutenant governor, according to
prominent politician today, and
thereby hangs a tale that has for its
theme the polite shelving of Ed
Sanders Of this city. The part played
is to be polite because Mr.. Sanders is
to have the undivided support of the
Spokane delegation to the state con-
vention.
According to this plan Spokane city
and county will be loyal to Mr.. San
ders, but the rest of the state will
do the work of nominating Mr..
Michael, who is the favorite at pres
ent. or, if not Michael, some other
coast man who may be agreeable to
the rank and file of the party.
This plan to select another in
place of Sanders may look unfortu-
nate" said the politician, but it can
not be helped, and Mr.. Sanders will
have the satisfaction of knowing that
all OF his friends in this city are
loyal. The whole affair in a nutshell
is that the gubernatorial nomination
is to come to this city, whether Miles

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-Dowie's
wife was robbed of 1880 and two
diamond brooches in their private car
this morning.
Dowie-Elijah II.-arrived this
morning and was greeted at the train
by several hundred Of his followers,
who simply went wild over his advent
into the wicked city which he has
undertaken to convert to the faith at
the head " which is himself. 1t is
the signal for general jollifcation
on the part OF the Zionists.
Dowie came In eight special trains
of Pullman coaches filled with his
followers.
He and his hosts breakfasted at
Madison Square garden.
Dowie met a delegation of reporters
at the Plaza hotel, wnere he has a
suite of rooms. He reiterated the
statement that he was Elijah H., and
had come to restore New York. He
demanded that nothing but the truth
be printed regarding the Zionite meet
ings and said he would expel any re-
porter from the garden who colored
news or ridiculed the meeting. He
madeean pledge themselves to tell the
truth. An immense crowd was out
side the garden watching the arrival
of the Dowjeites.

PROTEST OVER
DOUBLE TRACK

Following q request from the board
Of public works, Corporation Counsel
Judson is looking up old ordinances
and old laws to see what right the
Washington Water Power company has
to law double street car track through
the rock cut on North Division street.
Without any ado and acting solely
on its own account, it is declared, the
water power people put a gang of men
In the rock cut yesterday and began the
work of giving that end of town an
extra street car track.
1t took but short time for residents
Of the neighborhood to rise on their
arms and sit up a howl of objection
that reached the city hall. Property
owners pointed out to the city off
cials that Division street is exceptional
~ narrow where it passes through the
sut, and that only recently the sidewalk
IN the west end of the street was toru
mp in order that team traffic, which
b exceptionally heavy, might have more
room.

managed to kill four of the crew.
Two others jumped overheard.
After making land two days ago

Presumably the street car company
thought the sidewalk was torn up to
give them room for another track, and
yesterday they began taking advantage
of the additional width given the street.

said the corporation counsel, "and l

Judging from the complaints that
have been made by citizens something
must be done to curb the practice OF
the street railway companies of tearing
up streets in this manner. There is
no more reason for street car COM
pany to tear up thoroughfares without
previous notice to the city than there
is for private citizen to do as he
pleases with the public highways. 1t

What do you think of the progress
of Wagnerian music in America" was
asked.
In New York the what do you-c call
it. the cult that's the word, is rapidly
on the increase. OF course, the north
west can not hear complete Wag-
merriam opera for some time-the ex-
penses are too great. you see. 1t takes
an army of scenery handlers. cleo
tricians and the like to produce such
operas. to say nothing of enormous
sums OF money for the stars and
choruses. In New York every singer
who can sing at all is trying Wag-
merriam music. Few of them succeed.
IT Is so difficult Wagner was the
first great composer to mingle the
musical with the dramatic elements
of a piece-producing true dramatic
results in the opera"
Shall We have an American com
poser who will do for us what Wag-
ner did for German music and the

Perhaps" said Nine. Nordica with
a frown. You mean one who will
take the folk songs of the south-the
native negro melodies--and weave
them into typical American opera ?
Such an attempt is now being made
at Memphis. The projected opera is
called Devil Tales" but the name of
the author I forget. I sing those
negro melodies some timss-the peo-
pie want them. I sang one when l
was here last. But some of these min
strel composers make me weary"
