CONDITIONS IN POLITICS.
What One Must Expect if He Enters
the Political Arena.

The following, clipped from an eX
change comes pretty near being pat
with local conditions:
Politics, on the whole, is an I'M
profitable business. If you are guilty
Of any activity you become subject
to three conditions, each having its
unpleasant features. II you worked
for a successful candidate he forgets
what you did for him and thinks his
election was due to his own efforts
and personal popularity. If your can
didare was defeated he has a feeling,
if he does not express it, that your eff
forts were half-hearted and that you
don't amount to much any way On
the other hand. the candidates in
whom you were not interested have
imbibed a bitterness toward you that
will take years to eradicate, and if
you ever become a candidate your
self they Will knock" you on every
occasion. II you venture a prediction
before election as to the outcome.
those for whom you predict defeat
feel mallnity toward you that is &C
centuated by the correctness Of your
prOgnOsticatiOn, while the successful
ones derisively say, Amy fool could
have fOreseen the result" If you
have ever been a politician. but have
been weaned by hard kicks and de-
sire to keep out" every candidate
thinks you are secertly against him.
If you keep your mouth shut with a
determination to vote as you please,
you are worried by the go dOwn-the-
liners who tell people how to vote
on the last days of the canvass, and
who, by the way, are a very worthy
class, for we have many members
who. realizing their own weakness.
need somebody to vote them. Wash

STAND BY LOCAL CIGARMAkERs


Whenever you desire to purchase
a cigar, ask yourself if you will buy
the product OF scab labor. unsanitary
shops and the life-blOOd OF child labor
or whether you will spend your nickel
or dime toward the advancement of
the cause of unionism by purchasing
union label cigar. manufactured bv

Having decided to purchase a union
cigar, once more ponder upon the good
eInclent service OF the members of
the local cigarmakers' union of This
city IN upbullding the labor cause in
Walla Walla. Think of the very small
number IN their union today. Think
of how Loyalty they give their time

HONEYM00
WAS BRIEF
Viola Simon Returns to
S;ln Francisco.
blGAM0US WIFE OF LIEUT. McCUE
She Believes That Insanity Led Him
to Deceive Her-Has His
Sword and Medals.
BIGiM0US WIFE OF LIEUT. McCUE

San Francisco, Cal-Pretty Eiol;
Simon has returned sorrOwing from
her honeymoon. On June II in this
city she married Lieutenant William
X. McCue, of the First Infantry, Unit
ed States army, after an acquaintance
OF six days, and less than two week.
| later. on her wedding tour in Chica-
| go, she found him to be a bigamist
! She had given her hand and heart
| TO a mailman with a mania for forget
| ting.
1t was month ago that she met the
| dashing officer with the clear eyes and
ringing laugh that gave no trace of the
fever that burned within his brain,
| and in these 80 days she had lived a
WOman'S lifetime In one week she
had her romance. in the second her
honeymoon, in the third her time OF
trial. and she came home carrying
her soldiers sword in her hand, with
his medal won in Samar pinned to her
breast, and with her eyes filled with
tears.
Take ny sword and my medal
with YOU" had been almost the last
words OF tn officer. NO matter what
they say, you are my wife. | am not
mad. | am not married; it is all a lie"
But the girl Knows better and her
heart is widowed because the burning
sun and the lonely vigils in the Phil
ippines scOrched the brain sDOt where
lived the memory of William X Nc
Cue.
Viola Simon is only IS years. and is
as brave as she is pretty. When she
told her story she tried desperately
to hide the sorrow in her life, but the
laugh will grow hysterical and the
dark eyes will fill with tears when
she speaks of the man who is held
prisoner at Sheridan.
Ida WestcOtt is his wife" she said
and there can be no doubt about
that but he cared for me and was
insane and had forgotten that he ever
married her. Three days after we ar
rived In Chicago he invited Lieuten-
ant Beecham, who had accompanied
him to Cuba and knew his wife. who
was with him there. to dine with us.
1t Will be a nice surprise for Bee
cham. he said. He don't know that
his Old chum has a wife"
On this one subject he is insane
beyond a doubt, but on all others he
is perfectly rational. He was more
than kind to me, and is a gentleman
OF the finest type | became the vic
tim through his misfortune and moth

would have never happened. At the

Finally | went to him, and he begged
me to remain. and swOre | was the
only wife he ever had. The doctors
made me leave at once, as they feared

and | think that his wife will not
trouble him. The matter now rests
entirely with the army authorities.

ECHO ORGAN
Called an Impossible instrument,
COmnleted hy a. Rnilder.

Called an Impossible Instrument,
Completed by Builder.
Chicago Cor. New York Herald.
John j. Murdoch, manager of the
Masonic Temple theater, has built two
organs that had time and again been
declared impossible by time or
gan manufacturers, who based their
opinions upon years Of practical ex-
perience and numerous failures.
The successful results Of years OF
endeavor are now being used in the
production Of piece necessitating the
use Of a pipe organ which must be
portable. It requires also an organ
that can be made to sound as from
afar off-an echo" organ.
Organ makers, when requested by
Mr.: Murdoch to build either Of these
instruments, told him it could not be
done, Mr.. Murdoch then set to work
and after months of patient study,
completed the only portable pipe or
gan in the world. It Is in six pieces
the big organ weighing 1855
pounds; three smaller pieces, each
Weighing 1,640 pounds; the key" on
gan, weighing 1880 pounds, and g
smaller piece weighing 900 pounds.
1t took Mr.. Murdoch three years tc
overcome the impossibility' in the
construction of an echo organ. The
organ is stationed in the rear Of the
theater or in the balcony, and is
operated from the stage by the same
set Of keys with which the regular
pipe organ is played.

EXPLOSIVE ACTION
Of Lightning Said to BE Responsible for
Damage Done.

Of Lightning Said to BE Responsible for
Damage Done.
Nature.
The following particulars Of tho circum-
stances attending lightning flash are
perhaps worth recording.
A cedar tree (deodar) fifty feet high
stood at a distance considerably less than
its own height from q house at Engle-
field Green. The lady Of the house was
sitting watching the storm, but in such
a position that she could not see the
cedar, but could see a large part Of an
just outside her window, and only thirty
or forty feet from the cedar. While
watching this tree the lady saw, as she
thought, a 'trod" or ''stick'' of fire come
crashing down thru its Observation-Disclosures
them down SO that she distinctly saw
them rebound. This was accompanied by
"a fearful noise as Of a thousand pistol
cracks. beside which, however, the lady
had an impression Of hearing the branches
Of the araucaria beating together, and i'm
mediately afterward a cloud as Of steam
rose from the lawn on which tho trees
stood. It was found that the cedar tree
had been entirely wrecked. About fifteen
feet Of the top was broken of, and ap-
parently fell straight demonstrating in
stump, Of the tree. The main portion of
tho trunk to about four feet from the
ground, was roughly split in two-falling
right and left-One half being further
burst into several pieces. There was the
usual smell of sulphur" but no sign of
scorching on either Of the trees.
A gentleman who saw the flash from a
distance Of about ono third Of q mile noted
that it was straight (nonforked) flash
from a cloud low down. Other observers
noted flashes Of similar character durina
the same storm.
The cedar tree was in vigorous growth,
full Of sap. and we'll above its immediate
surroundings, but there were elrns and a
lime tree Of greater height within fifty
yards Of It.
The movement and the s.ire'' in the
branches Of the araucaria seems to me to
suggest an electrostaic effect side
splash rather than the mere reflection OF
the flash which struck the cedar. Gould
the beating down Of the branches be ex-
planned as the result Of the sudden pulse
in the air7 What produced the cloud OF
"steam2" It would be interesting to have
the opinion Of an authority on lightning
discharges with regard to these points.
