POPE is FEEBLE.
Too Fond Of Work and Death May
Come at Any Time.

Rome.-The health of Pope Leo is
the chief subject of conversation.
As the summer advances anxiety
about his holiness increases, as he
withstanis excessive heat badly. De
spite warnings his holiness declines
to cease work or give up audiences,
The labors of the jubilee period were
tiff entered the summer greatly en-
feebled. Now every reception in
creases his enlightenment.
Discussing Pope Leo, DR.. Lapponi
said recently:
THE holy fathers constitution is
so strong he could live a century. but
he ought to rest like all men of his
age He has a mania for work and it
is that which auses me anxiety"
1T is generally believed Pope Leo
will die almost without his attend
ants perceiving it. He will go out
like candles fame said an attend
ant at the Vatican.
During the past week the duties at
tendant on the cOnsistory bore heavi-
~ On the enfeebled pOntiff. and it was
reported he tainted after reaching
his chamber.
For some time his holiness has
been accustomed to fall into pro
longed nap three or four times daily.
Sometimes his slumber lasts an hour.
More than once during his sleep the
attendants believed him dead. This

munity for many years. His record
will compare favorably with that of
his traducers. He has always paid
ole-hundred cents on the dollar in the
settlement OF all his obligations and
has never plead the statute of limita-
tons to avoid the payment of any Of
his debts.
The Statesman suspects that pri-
mari1y these attacks upon Mr.. Moore
are inspired by hatred Of all those who
dare to differ with the machine. Mr.
Moore has been outspoken in his de-
nunciation of the violations of law
by Mayor Hunt in city and school dis
trict affairs. and he does not believe
Mr.. Hunts record is such as to entitle
him to a reelection He believes that
the mayor has been tried in the bal
ance and found wanting. There are
many other citizens who think like
wise. The Union hopes by its fusil
lade upon tIr. Moore to distract at
tention from the real questions at is
sue-the Thomas springs twenty five
thousand dollar graft, the exemption
of national bank stock from taxation
and the reckless violation of law by
the Hunt administration in the pur-
chase of supplies and the making of

AS Frank KEGS worked and voted
against the new gambling law and as
some of those nearest to him have
thousands of dollars at stake in the
non enforcement Of the law, it is not
ifest any zeal in the enforcement of
the law if he should be elected chief
of police in addition to the honor of
being representative in the legisla-
ture, deputy sheriff, eX-sheriff and
chairman of the republican county
central committee. With so many
honors heaped upon him Frank will
soon become the Pooh Bah" of the
state of Washington.

Governor Mcbride after paying an
official visit to the state penitentiary
as a member of the board of control,
left for Olympia last Saturday, but the
daily Argus issued by the Union yes
terday still pictured him in its at
frighted dreams as being in this city
directing the fight against the machine
ticket In fact it is doubtful whether
Governor Mcbride during his brief
visit to the penitentiary paid any at
tention to local politics, and it is
hardly likely that he knows or cares
who are the candidates for city
Offices.

the explanation of the sensational

is the explanation of the sensational
reports Of his death recently.
His holiness sleeps during the
day in a big arm chair beside his
desk. He succumbs to slumber I'M
consciously while his secretaries are
reading aloud and even while he is
debating. His sleep becomes so pro
found it is difficult to awaken him.
His face becomes waXen like unto
death.
1t is generally believed there is no
imminent danger Of death. but never
theless the attendants would not be
surprised if death comes any day du-
ring his sleep.

Frank KEGS was elected to the leg
islature last November on the strength
Of Levi Anlleny as the home candi-
date" for United States senator, and
the Union is now trying 10 elect him
chief of police by having him hold
on to Ankeny's coat tails. But there
is no senatorial election this year and
the citizens of Walla Walla can see
no reason why loyalty to Mr.. Ankeny
should require them to vote for a chief
of police who as a member of the leg
islature did his best to defeat the
new gambling law which as chief of
police he might, if he chose, regard
as a dead letter in the interest of
some OF his warmest supporters.

"WhOm the Lord lOveth He chasten-

must be the peculiar objects of divine

the Evening Argus. 1t is found on

just and the unjust without money and
without price. 1t is believed that it

The daily Argus, printed at the I'm
ion office. is supporting Hillman for
chief of police while the weekly
Argus is boosting KEGS for the same
position. Certainly this ought to be
convincing proof that the candidacy
of Hillman is being backed by the
BurfOrd- Smails machine for the pur-
pose of diverting the votes of we'll
meaning law and order advocates
from Jerry Brown.

weekly Argus before it betrayed its
principles for patronage. However,
everybody understands the true posi-

The daily Argus has been launched
from the Union Office for the evident
purpose of enabling the machine to
publish statements and to make
charges that the national bank organ
does not dare to utter. Another pur-
pose is to deceive the law and order

The civil service law prohibiting
federal employees from doing political
work seems to be more honOred III
the breach than in the observance IN
Walla Walla. Some gentlemen draw
ing salaries from the county are also
devoting most of their attention to
political work on the streets.

ECHO ANSWERS, WHO?

And still We may ask Who is a bet
ter man for city marshal than Frank
KEGS ?-Union.
The daily Argus published at your
office under the direction of the same
political machine says that Jack Hill
man is a better man for marshal than
Frank KEGS AS the machine has TWO
candidates it cannot expect to elect
either of them. "A house divided
against itself must fall" A large ma
jority of the people will leave the I'm
ion and the Argus to decide which is
the better man, KEGS or Hillman,
while the office is given to Jerry
Brown by an overwhelming vote on
July 10.

Of the Spanish-American war the
stock trade has been rapidly in
creasing, until it has attained enor-
mons proportions. 1t is said that
the American army in the Philip
pines has created bigi demand for
beef cattle, and this has opened up
the markets IN other countries that
were formerly supplied from other
parts of the world
