Since the schools lacking the
required average attendance of
twelve pupils were closed, there
has been no opportunity to repeat
the dose. The schools throughout
the parish are maintaining good
average, and among the best are
those who We're closed, but since
re-opened. The effect has been
most glorious.

LEFT TO DIE ON ICE FLOE.
Three Sailors Desert Whaling Ship
Bonanza In the Artic.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. GA terri
BILE fate was that Of three deserters
from the whaling schooner Bonanza.
They were carried into the Attic
ocean on a floating field of ice, and,
being unable to reach land, must have
frozen to death. News Of the tragic
end of the deserters reached here to-
day by the steam whaler Belvedere.
The officers Of the Belvedere were in
formed of the fate of the men by the
natives Of Alaska, who had witnessed
them drifting away on the ice.
The men deserted from the Bonanza
during the month of June when the
schooner was moored to a vast ice
foe off Sledge Island. They watched
their opportunity, and attempted to
escape by running over the ice field,
which seemed to stretch to the land
doned, and the Bonanza set sail. The
men travelled over the ice, expecting
to reach land, but found that the ice
foe on which they stood was sepa-
rated from the land by a wide stretch
Of water. When last seen the ice foe
bearing the three men was being
swept by the current far out into the
Attic.
The Belvedere was imprisoned in
the Artic ice for six weeks, and during
that time, the crew amused themselves
by playing baseball on the ice field
The Belvedere brought $500 pounds Of
bone, having captured one whale. Cap
tain De Voll died on April 10, and was
buried at Unalaska. First Mate Tilden
brought the vessel down from the
north.

WILL TAKE A HAND
Mitchell Does Not Believe
in Economy
AS PLANNED BY Tue ltADtkS
Senator Says it Would Be Serious
Mistake Not to Pass River and
Harbor Bill.
AS PLANNED BY Tue Leaders,

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 6.-Sen-
ator Mitchell is preparing to make
a fight on the economy plan Of Speak
er-to-be Cannon and the republican
leaders in house and senate who have
sent forth the announcement that be-
cause Of the approaching presidential
elections appropriations must be held
to the lowest notch during the coming
long session. Senator Mitchell takes
the position that public works should
not be neglected In the interests of
politics. For this reason he will ad-
vocate and do everything in his power
to secure the passage Of liberal rlV-
er and harbor bill to take care of new
projects and works that are not pro-
vided for in the sundry civil bill.
The senator says it would be a Sc
rious mistake to not pass the river
and harbor bill this winter. It's fall
ure would mean the cessation OF work
on many projects and the resulting
damage would cost the government
dearly. fOlHlllS out t1le IleCtSolly III
a river and harbor bill, he says:
The commerce of this country war
rants many new improvements which
cannot be provided for except in
separate bill. There are many under
takings which demand appropriations
at this coming session, else there will
be loss of millions to the government
from the suspension of work. We
should by all means have a river and
harbor BIN and maintain a generous
waterways"
Senator Mitchell believes the time
has come when the government
should take an active participation in
the good roads movement, and not
withstanding the cry for economy
says the initiation of this policy
should be announced at the coming
session, and a liberal appropriation
made to start the work.
Speaking of the Lewis and Clark
exposition, he said:
Very early in the session l propose
to introduce a bill asking congress to
give us an appropriation for that eX
position. | shall press the bill as urg-
emily as | know how. | am undecided
as to the amount to be asked for"
Senator Mitchell takes no stock in
the talk about a running mate for
Roosevelt from beyond the Rockies
He thinks Fairbanks will be the man.

.ONLY ONE VOTED IN DISTRICT.
A New York Citizen Has. Special
Election District of His Own.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Nov. 6.-Jo-
seph Thomas has received the honor
of being the only man in New York
city to have a special election district
set aside for his vote. He lives in the
office building of a lumber company,
First avenue and Thirty-fifth street.
Since the block bounded by Second

down for a park, he has been the
only resident in the district. Thomas
had a legal right to vote there, how
ever, and a full complement of officers
was necessary at the polling place.

COUNTY BOARD VACANCY EXISTS
Peculiar Situation Prevails In Okla
hogan County.

WENATCHEE, Wash.-Judge Vie
tor Martin who resides at this place
tells of a very singular situation in
Okanogan county, for which county he
is also Judge, his district embracing
Chelan. Douglas and Okanogan coun-
ties. Some time ago a vacancy exist
ed in the board of county commission
ers. Judge Martin met with the board
to elect a successor but County Attor-
ney Pendergast gave it as his opinion
that the vacancy should be filled by
the two remaining members, and that
Judge Martin should have nothing at
all to do with it.
Judge Martin replied that the stat
ute provided for the election by the
two commissioners and the judge of
the superior court. Judge Martin said
however, that if his presence was not
agreeable he would withdraw, and
this he did In the meantime the va
cancy is not filled, and Okanogan
county is running along with the as
sistance of two county commissioners
instead of three, as provided for by
the statutes.
This condition of things also exists
over in Douglas county some time ago
and j. W. Emmert by the assistance
Of Judge Martin, was elected to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation of
j. L. Stewart. Now, if County Attor-
ney Pendergast of Okanogan county
Is right, Mr.. Emmert, of Douglas coun-
~, is Illegally holding his position
and all of the commissioners proceed
ings since such invalid election would
be null and void. The singular condi-
ton is causing quite a deal of specu-
latlon in this section. it being contend
ed by some that to make Judge Martin
member of the board of county COM
mlssioners of three counties. in the
event Of the death or resignation OF
one member would give him too much
power, and that the statute only con-
Sldered those counties where each
county has a judge of its own.

A DOUGHNUT KILLED HIM.
1t Lodges in Frank Hayden's Throat
And He Chokes to
Death. .

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Nov. 6.-His wild
gesticulations mistaken for the frenzy
of a crazy man, Frank Hayden was al
lowed to choke to death last night at
Wentworth avenue and Sixty-third
street. A piece of doughnut lodged
in his throat, depriving him of the
power of speech, and when he struck
himself on the back and beckoned pas
sers-by to aid him. no one ventured
to aid him. ..-a
When with failing strength. he
tried to insert a silver tube in his
throat, some one shouted, Look out
he is going to Shoot" and spectators
fled in terror. The police arrived at
length, in reply to a summons to cap
ture an insane man, but Hayden was
dead.
Hayden underwent tracheotomy
three years ago, and since then could
not eat with safety without a silver
tube in his throat. Last night, how
ever, the tube was in his pocket when
he entered a restaurant and ordered
coffee and doughnuts.
Scarcely had he been served when
the other diners were startled to see
him spring to his feet and strike him
self repeatedly on the back. When
he clutched at his throat they fled,
shouting for the police.
Hayden staggered after them, mute
ly appealing for help, but no one I'M
derstood his plight. Where a blow be-
tween the shoulders might have saved
his life no one ventured near him.
Hayden, now black in the face, stag
gered into a cigar store near by, where
he drew from a coat pocket a portion
of the tube which had been placed in
his windpipe three years ago, and at
tempted to force it into his throat.
This caused another stampede, and a
number of persons ran from the store.
One of them went into a drug store at
6301 Wentworth avenue, where he
was followed by Hayden.
There were a number Of women in
the place and they became frightened
when the man shouted that a maniac
was following him. A woman started
to leave by the front door as Hayden
rushed into the place with the tube
protuding from his mouth, but she was
brushed aside by Hayden, who fell at
her feet and died.

Owes Deceased Snoh0miSh
Man $50 on a Note
WAS BORROWED A YEAR AGO
Note Found Among Dead Mans Ef-
fects-Lawyer to Make Effort
to Collect 1t.

Though reputed to be a millionaire
and in command of more ready money
than any other man in the middle west
John Alexander Dowie, Elijah III,
founder of Zion City and leader Of a
new religious sect, borrowed $50 from
Owe Moe, a poor Snohomish county
settler, a year ago and has not re-
paid the loan, says the Seattle Post
Intelligencer.
A note for the amount was found
among Noes effects by Attorney
James T. Lawler, who has been made
attorney for the Moe estate. The Sno-
homish county man was killed about
Tenino quarry, and one of his as
sets, which have just been turned over
to the administrator was the Dowie
note.
During his life time Moe was a
member Of the Dowie sect. He was
known among his friends and neigh
bors as a zealot, though he, for some
peculiar reason, failed to join the col
ony at Zion City, where Dowie has
herded most of his flock. Moe is I'M
to have met the leader Of the Zionites
about a year ago and it was at this
time that the note for $50 was given
him by the man who proclaims himself
as Elijah Ill"
Ready money was scarce with Moe,
though he owned a homestead and a
timber claim that gave him the right
to rate himself as worth about $500.
That he made a big sacrifice to give
the Zionite leader the $50 that the
note represents is evident from the
mans financial condition at the time
of his death. At that time he pos
sessed his property and some securi-
ties, but very little ready money.
A popularity about the note, aside
from the fact that Dowie has over
looked the fact that it is seven months
overdue, is that it is made payable at
the Zion City bank. This is the finan-
cial institution founded by the sec
ond Elijah and located at his own
city. The note, for payment, would
have to be presented at this bank by
the owner. Noes only means Of COL
lecting the note would be to send II
east. Once in the hands of Dowie's
fanatics it would rest entirely with
them whether the obligation was ig-
nored or paid in full.
Moe left no immediate relatives, but
he has a number Of more distant rel
atives both here and in the east. Mr..
Lawler intends to make an energetic
effort to force Dowie to pay his OBJ
legation. though it is anticipated that
the leader of the Zionites will protest
that the paper represents some church
obligation. Recent efforts by eastern
creditors to collect obligations out
standing against Dowie have resulted
either in failure or serious compli-
cations which show that the second
Elijah is exceedingly slow in meeting
claims against him.
