WHAT OUR NEIGHBORS SAY.
The Mobil za'ion o; the Militia a. Fort
Ethan Allen.
From tho Montpelier Argus)


Plans arc now in progress for an en-
campmont of the National Guard such
as this paper has urged would be bene-
fetal and the muster this year il the
plans are carried out. will be much diff
ferent from the usual affairs. The Ma
tional Guard of Vermont in common with
that Of other States, has shown a ten
dcncy to get down to n real business basis
since the Spanish war. 1t is proposed
this year to have the militia Of New
hampshire and New York join that of
Vermont in the annual cncampment at
Fort Ethan Allen. If the total military
establishment of these three States should
he present it would make an army OF
about 900 men. In addition there would
be the troops at Fort Ethan Allen, who
will cooperate with the State authorities
in making the matter something Of real
Importance and service. The government
has taken up tho problem OF the citizen
sodiery since the Spanish war and is try
inr to place the National Guard on bet
ter basis. An attempt was made last year
to have the states send their troops to
Fort Riley. Kan. to Join with federal
troops in extended maneuvros. Only Il
few nearby States responded to the in
N,tation. The attempt was not failure,
neither was IL a real success At that
tim" this paper suggested that 1t might

surroundings of an army post, This idea
mas been taken up. Fort Ethan Allen is
easily accessible. SO the expense to other
states will not b" great. while the ad-
vantages. to officers and men. Of carrying

WAITERT MCDONALD.
He Was Always 4 Friend to Olympia When
She Needed Aid.

ne Was Always Friend to Olympia When
She Needed Aid.
Walter T. Mcdonald, a man instru.
mental in locating the capital OF the
State at Olympia, and for many years
prominent in business in Olympia,
died in Seattle last week. His illness
was long and painful. Mr.. Mcdonald
had not made his home at the State
capital for some time. The remains
were shipped to East Sandusky, O.,
for interment, that being the home OF
his mother.
For several years Mr.. Mcdonald was
member of the investment firm OF
Mcdonald & Gregg, in this city, and
was one Of the founders of the town
of Puget City, between Olympia and
Tacoma, which at one time promised
to rival the larger cities OF the Sound.
Its location at the head of seven bays
marked it, in the minds of the found
ers, as a natural location for . city.
Mr.. Mcdonald was travelling through
the Northwest on pleasure trip when
he decided to resign two or three posi-
tions which he held in Ohio and come
here to remain. At the time of the
raising of subsidies for the railroads in
1890 he took an active part in aid of
the rail lines, and then, when the
question of locating the capital came
up, he travelled over the State in the
interest of Olympia, and with others
finally secured the naming of his
home as the seat of the State govern
ment.
A wife and two children survive
him. He was related to o. G. Labe-
rec, prominent mining man OF Spo-
kane, and A. E. Laberee, his brother in
law, of this city.

der of Morrell. 1t was about 3 O'Clock
in the afternoon OF March 1st, and all
the prisoners were out of their cells
and had had their dinners, while Nor
rell was locking the cage that Benson
stepped behind him and struck him
on the head with the piece of lead
pipe. Morrell turned and they Crap
pied. Benson got away and ran out
into the main entrance, followed by
Morrell. They again grappled and
Benson struck the keeper twice. Ben
son then stepped back and fired shot
from the revolver. Two more shots
were fired after they had reached a
room off from the corridor. Benson
then came out and picked up his hat.
The body OF Morrell was at that time
