Beneath his bust is inscribed: Co

j. Feeny Held On Suspicion BY Ever
ett Police.

Everett, Oct. 81. Feeny, arrested
by Officer Harling is suspected of hav-
ing been one of the four men who at
tempted to rob a train on the Oregon
Railroad & Navigation road Septem-
Der %. This suspicion rests on the
fact that he answers closely to the de-
scription Of one of the highwaymen
Feeny, when arrested, displayed
many peculiarities, and these have
strengthened the belief Of the officers
that he may be one Of the men want
ed. According to the description re-
ceived here, one of the trio was about
80 years old, about feet 10 or 1917
inches high, and had gray hair Feeny
gave his age as As, and he tallies with
the description in every other partic-
ular. The Portland officials viii, prob
ably be wired for more detailed de-
scription.
The robbery which it is thought
Feeny may be implicated in took place
the 23rd Of last month near Portland.
The bandits made a mistake and dy-
namited the wrong car. The messen-
ger fired on them, killing one. and the
other three made their escape. 1t

CANNOT BE A STATE.
Porto Rico is Debarred From Dearest
Wish.

Washington. =. c.. Oct. S.-Porto
Rice. like the territories Of New Mex
leo Arizona and Oklahoma, longs 20
become q state in the union, but
thinking men Of the island realize that
present conditions will not permit IL.
At present. OF the s2,300,00O raised for
the expenses of the insular govern
ment only about 100000 is raised by
direct taxation. Under special legis-
lation of the American congress, Por-
to Rico has been allowed to retain its
custom house receipts and its Internal
revenue and the amount raised by
direct taxation and the $4,000 900 Is
mainly raised by customs and internal
revenue taxes.
Cannot Afford 1t.
If Porto Rico were tC become a
state she would lose this amount,
which she is not in condition to do at
this time. For education alone Porto
Rico now expends 100000 a year,
which is more than her whole budget
would amount to. The amount raised
by direct taxation, in other words, is
less than 90 per cent. of the amount
raised for governmental purposes on
the island. The government of the
United States has been generous to
allow Porto Rico to retain and use it's
customs receipts and internal revenue
moneys, and because of this assist
ance, and the realization that the is
land is far fran self-supporting, with
out this aid, it's thinking men are not
inclined to clamor for statehood,
knowing that such a privilege at this
time would be disastrous.
Improved Conditions.
That conditions in Porto Rico have
wonderfully improved under United
States control cannot be doubted. All
industries are thriving as they never
did under Spain and trade between
the island and the United States has
developed rapidly. Porto Rican i'm
ports from the United States now
amount to s12,00O,OO a year, whereas.
in 1898, the American trade was prac-
tically nothing. There may be state
hood ahead for Porto Rico. but it is
we'll in the dim and distant future.

HE WILL EAT WHEN HUNGRY.
Great Falls Man Gives His Stomach a
Rest

nest
Great Falls, Mont, Oct. S.-Great
Falls has a man who has tasted IL
days and declares he will not eat
again until he is hungry. The faster
is Frank Gregson, clerk to Trainmas-
ter Charles Murphy of the Montana
Central Railway. Mr.. Gregson is a
man about 40 years of age, and appar-
emily is in good health. He says he
is fasting because of stomach
trouble and thinks if he gives that
organ a rest it will resume it's normal
condition.
With the exception of one glass of
milk day, he has eaten nothing for
II days. During the interval of his
fast he has done his usual work, and
declares that he feels no i'll effects
from his abstino~,ce from food. AL
though he has r.t weighed himself
since the beginning Of his fast it is
estimated that he has lost Is Or 20
pounds. Last Saturday, the day on
which there was heavy fall Of
snow here, GregsOn took off his shoes
and stockings and walked about the
depot platform in the snow and
slush for about 20 minutes He con-
tends that clothes also are superf1u-
GUS, and that it was not intended man
should wear them, any more than
lower animals.

ARRESTED AS HOLD.UP MAN.

Seattle, Oct. S.-John Cornella, a
member of the Cornella family, who
figured as an acrobat in the Wood
mems carnival, is under arrest at the
city Jail charged with being a high
wayman of the most dangerous type.
Ed Morris, who claims to be his vic

held as a witness.
About 1 o'clock last night Patrol
men Damn and Bryant on Washing
ton street heard cries of "Police!"
"Murder!' and rushed down Main
street, from where the sounds pro-
ceeded. On the way down Patrolman
Bryant saw man running for dear
life and ran after him, catching him
On Occidental avenue near the Totem
saloon. The man was Cornella. A
few minutes later Patrolman Damn
came up with Morris, who was hard
ly able to speak because of a choking

LIVED 1903 YEARS,
William Mcmillan Was Born In Man.
itoba, Then a Wilderness.

Vancouver, B. c., Oct. S.-A man
who can remember the time when the
whole Pacific coast was but happy
hunting ground for the fur traders,
has just died at Winnipeg at the age
Of 103. He was born in what is now
Manitoba, but was then bowling
wilderness, given over to few white
trappers and hunters and redskins
with chips on their shoulders. Will
liam Mcmillan was the mans name,
and he was born when George III. was
king. He lived under five sovereigns.
Mcmillan resider near Silver Heights
Lord Strathcona's Winnipeg estate,
longer than any of the earliest inhab-
itants" can remember. His father
was engaged in the fur trade in the
Great Lone Land" over 125 years
ago. He himself naturally took SER
vice with the great trading compa-
MES and wandered the blazed trail for
half a century. Fifty years ago he
took up land on the Red river and en-
gagged in farming, varied by trading
and hunting.

M'BRIDE'S SPEECH SENSATION.
Republicans of Stevens County Are
Awakened.

Colville. Wash. Oct. S.-G0yernor
McBrdc's speech at the county fair
Thursday. in which the executive i'm
nailed Senator Stansell in a vigorous
address before nearly 5000 exuberant
and cheering pe0pI5. has been the alb
sorbing theme Of conversation among
all classes Those who have shown
only passing interest IN the political
situation have taken decided ground
and it is positively evident that the
entering wedge has disclosed a clean
cleavage between the adherents of
Senator Ankeny and the admirers of
Governor Mcbride Had Governor Nc
Bride taken conciliatory grounds Iii
speaking to the people here, there
seems to be little question that the
Ankeny crowd would have carried the
banner to the next republican conven-
ton.
State Senator Stansell, who sup
ported Ankeny in his senatorial con-
test last winter at Olympia, foated
along with the. senatorial party into
Stevens couny las month and was not
diffident in advising all federal office
holders and those who expected polit-
ical favors that he was their only
hope, md any infraction of the har-
mony that prevailed by virtue of the
trinity of StanselI, Ankeny and the
administration would result in official
communication. Governor McBride's
speech, like a thunderbolt from a
clear sky has shaken the false senti-
ment built up in the republican party
by the Stansell agency from it's foun-
datior Of sand and scattered the SUI
perstructure to the winds as a house
built of cards.
The republicans now know that the
rank and file of the party Of the county
will not approve of anything but Nc
Bride delegation to the statet republi-
can convention. They now see it
plainly written upon the wall that the
nomination of Mcbride, whether he
be elected governor or not, is the
only hope for republican success in
Stevens county. This sentiment is
now openly expressed by leading re-
publicans who have heretofore taken
only a passing interest in party af-
fairs in the belief that republican sue
cess was a fOregOne conclusion.
