hibited With Famous Collection.

A bust Of the late President Mckinley
has been ordered by the National Muse
UNI authorities from H. J. Brand, the San

fore Assistant Secretary Rathbun and
the curators Of the National Museum,
The board was much pleased with the
sculptor's work and ordered a copy to
exhibit in connection with the Mckinley

sons and measurements it was found
that the bust conformed TO the death
mask of President Mckinley. 1t will

Fourth. The way to keep the Filipino

to arrange his surroundings so that he

This temporary advantage is, we believe.

ultimate injury to both the Americans

Sixth. We believe that the greatest

the Dingley tariff as far as it applies to
the Philippines We want the American
market, not the Chinese laborer."

AUTO SPEED VIOlATORS
DISTANCE POLICEMAN

Bicycle Policeman Charlie Mullen.
champion rider OF the Sixth precinct
last night made brave and gallant ride
against a red deviT' automobile OF
twenty-five horsepower. and today he is
sore. mentally and physically, as a re-
suit of his experience
About 10 O'Clock last night the police
man was standing by his wheel at Sew
enth and F Streets northwest, when
there was a toot, a streak of red. and
then an overpowering smell of gasolene.
Trained to know that these phenomena
meant a scorching automobile, the po-
hceman mounted and started pursuit
Here was such a clear case of viola
tion of the speed regulations that there
was no doubt as to the result of hear
ing in the Police Court. A passing
street car put Mullen at considerable
disadvantage. but he finally got close
enough to see that the automobile was
occupied by two men and two women.
His speedometer was registering twen-
ty-flve miles an hour. when the women
caught sight of the pursuing policeman
They leaned forward and shouted some
thing at the men in front, who, in turn.
looked around. and then suddenly the
powerful machine shot forward at a
rate which made Mullen gasp.
As they passed Police Headquarters.
spectators saw that the machine was
gaining on the human muscles Pres
entity hat from the automobile. and
the speedometer from Mulien's wheel
strewn by the way, testified to the ter
rife speed maintained. Pluckily Mullen
kept on. until at F and North Capitol
Streets he lost sight of the machine in

ably less than per cent OF the entire

The chief cause OF death in this portiun
of the population was, as is usually the
case at this season OF the year, diar-
rheaI diseases.
Not one of the twenty-one children
who died from diarrheal diseases dur
ing the past week was breast fed. OF
those under one year of age, thirteen,
prior TO the onset of the fatal illness,
were fed on condensed milk and six on
supposedly fresh cows milk. OF those
in the second year of life one was given
cows milk and barley water; the other,
condensed milk. Nursing bottles and
nipples were in many cases given but
little attention.
The number of cases of typhoid fever
reported during last week was 81. The
cases under treatment increased during
the week from 143 to ITO. The increase
is. however. more apparent than real,
being due to a peculiar method adopted
by one of the local hospitals in record
ing and reporting such cases. a method
which has now been corrected.
The number of cases of this disease
under treatment on August Is, 1902. was
247. There were cases of diphtheria
and 2 cases of scarlet fever reported
during the week. The number of cases
under treatment at the end of the week
was, however, but in each instance.
The District remains free from smallpox.
The total number of births reported
was 9S, 81 of which were white and 3l

most interested in the sale Of the
land hope to be able to buy the clty's
rights there for song and then sell
the ranch at twice what it is worth
with this incumbrance.
At least two members of the coun-
ell under some strange occult in
fuence cling most tenaciously to the
scheme of certain interested parties
to have the city either buy half the
Thomas ranch for $4,000 or abandon
its water rights there and resort to
Mill creek for a supply. AS these
two members constitute a majority
of the water committee they are able
under our peculiar system OF govern
ment by committees,-a system con-
trary to the letter and spirit of the
CITY charter-to hold up the water
question in order to bring the other
members of the council and the peo-
pie to their terms.
1t is high time for the people to in
sist that this illegal and perni'cious
system of government by committees
shall end. 1t is the duty of the whole
council to take up this water question
and submit it to the people regardless
of the wishes or opinions of a major
ity of the water committee. A COM
mittee's business is merely to recon-
mend. 1t is the business Of the coun-
Gil to approve Or reject. There are
only seven members of the council
smaller number than constitutes the
average legislative committeeman
they should be able to reach a con-
clusion on this subject without any
great difficulty. ~--.-.
The people demand submission Of
the water question in tangible form
and free from all schemes of private
speculation. AS bad as the White
house Crimmins fire was it should not
be made the excuse for forcing upon
the people the obnoxious scheme of
abandoning the citys rights on the
Thomas ranch and resorting to Mill
creek for a water supply.

FOSTER GETS THE DOUBLE
.-t. CROSS.

During the recent visit of Ed Hamil-
ton to this city one thing was OBJ
vious to any man of discernment who
gave any attention to the movements
of the railroad state senator from
Pierce county. The Ankenya push is
back of Hamilton and is preparing to
give Senator Foster the double cross.
Senator Ankeny is protesting neu-
-trality in the contest between Hamil-
ton and Foster, but while the sena-
tor remained at Colfax ostensibly
keeping hands off, his henchmen in
this city had evidently been given
the tip to line up with Hamilton and
they did so with great alacrity. They
would not have shown such love for
Hamilton if they had not been given
orders from headquarters to show him
every courtesy and attention.
Senator Ankeny does not dare open
ly to oppose Senator Foster for the
reason that he is under great obliga-
tons to Foster for federal patronage

him in securing the long coveted seat
in the United. States, senate. Through
Foster Pierce county lined up solidly
in support of Ankeny's senatorial can
didacy. Without that support his
election would have been impossible.
Ankeny does not want to be accused
Of base ingratitude, as he will be
under the necessity of sitting with
Foster in the senate until 1905, and
he does not want his association with
his colleague made strained and I'M
comfortable. However, the railroad
lobby with which Ankeny is allied,
prefers Hamilton to Foster, and there
is nothing for the Levites to do but
get in line. Foster is to be lulled to
sense Of security by professions of
friendship and neutrality, but when
the time comes he will be impaled on
the Ankeny harpoon.
It remains to be seen how long the
Levites can fool Foster by this dou-
BILE game.

DIVIDED RESPONSIBILITY.

One of the greatest defects of the
fire department is that of divided re-
sponsibility. Under the peculiar sys-
tenn of government by committees
that has obtained in this city without
authority of law, the fire and water
committee has the power to appoint
and discharge members of the paid
fire department. This system is
wrong. If the chief of that depart
ment is to be held responsible for the
efficiency of his men he should be
given the power to select his force
and to discharge men who prove to
be incompetent Or insubOrdinate.
Under the present plan the chief has
no power to enforce his commands.
The men under him having secured
their positions through some sort of
pull perhaps feel that the CHIEF has
no authority over them except such
as they choose to acknowledge. Dis
cipline cannot be maintained under
such a system.
Aside from the question of disci-
pine, the best trained fire department
in the world could not DO good work
with the Old-wOrn out apparatus with
which the Walla Walla fremen have
to work. With poor engines, poor
coal and weak water pressure it is a
wonder that fires do not prove more
destructive in, every case.

great commander imagi~ es he has
arrived at the end of the world. The
scene is laid among the mountain
peaks, with yawning chasms seen
through the crags. A terrific electric
storm adds terror to the already
dramatic situation, brought about by
the plot of the play, and as this
abates, the clouds begin to rise, clouds
and sleet descend, this developing
into a binding blizzard. Every me-
chanical cOntrivance which could en-
nance the realism of this scene has
been utilized
The two characters which stand out
in greater prominence are Alexander
and Perdiccas, the former being allot-
ted to Mr.. James and the latter to
Mr.. Warde. They are as widely con-
trasted as could be well imagined.
and were carefully developed, so as
to give the greatest opportunity to the
respective players who are to imper-
senate them.
Messrs Wagenhals and Kemper
have invested a fortune in the scenic
equipment which is said to command
enthusiastic admiration, both as re-
CARDS its massive proportions and
artistic beauty.

LOUIS JAMES AND
FREDERICK WARDl

Will Appear In "AIexander the Great"
At Opera House Tonight.
The Walla Walla theater will be
tested to its capacity tonight when
Louis James and Frederick Warde
will make their appearance in new
play by Rupert Hughes and Collin
Kemper, founded upon the life Of
Alexander the Great. There has been
no attempt it is said, in writing alex
ander the Great" to turn out liter
airy classic for book worms to feed on,
but a strong, human drama introdu-
cling famous people who lived in other
days; a moving, stirring play which
should appeal with equal force to both
the gallery god and the plutocrats Of
the orchestra circle. The production
comprises six massive scenes, the
most elaborate of which are: The
Kings palace at Macedonia, the Tenn
pie of Ammon, the Walls of MALTA
and the Mountain Tops. The latter
setting has been made a feature of
alexander the Great where the
