Preliminary Struggle to Head Repub
Iican Ticket.

EVERETT, Nov. 27.-The contest
between A. A. Brodeck and N. J.
Craigue for the republican nominal
ton for mayor is proving one of the
fiercest political fights ever waged in
the history of SnOhOmish county pol
itics. 1t will probably be settled by
the primaries Saturday night although
should the result be close, it may
be prolonged until the convention
meets December 2. Each side is now
at work, and each claim to be in the
lead.
The two leading candidates, as we'll
as the candidates for councilmen,
make known their position on the
question of permitting slot machines.
dance-halls and gambling in the
city; in other words, on the open
town question, and also their atti-
tude on the question of granting fran
| chises. These two matters seem to
! have been made the issues of the
campaign.
All the candidates who state their
! positions declare themselves opposed
! to gambling and slot machines as con-
| trary to law. Craigue declares against
dance halls; Brodeck says he favors
! such places of amusement as are not
| forbidden by the laws of the city and
state, and are not incOmpa tible with
the best interests of the majority of
citizens" Most of the candidates de-
clare against the restoration of dance
| halls.
Opinion is more divided on the
franchise question. Craigue says the
question of granting a reasonable
franchise lis for the council to de-
| eide, but | believe Everett should
guard its franchises carefully, looking
| toward ultimate city ownership of
| both light and water" BrOdeck says:
| Il am in favor of entertaining any ap-
pllcation for any municipality that
will secure and insure actual benefits
| to the citizens and taxpayers of the
city

ALLEN COULD SHAKE DICE
Popular Game Decides Who Is Entltl-
ed to Seat in Council.

SUMPTER, Ore, Nov. 27.-Judge
George Allen and Thomas Larin,
nominees for councilman at the COM
ing election, resorted to a throw of
the dice Monday afternoon to decide
which should withdraw from the race.
Both men represented the same issue
and were running for the long term
against Lawrence Welsh, a real estate
man. Realizing that it was a three
cornered fight, with the chances in
favor of their opponent, they came to
the conclusion that their principle
would stand better show if only one
ran, therefore their friends refusing
to decide which should withdraw,
they settled the question by throwing
dice Larin lost, thus leaving Allen to
run alone against Welsh. These nom
inees represented the second ward
In the fourth ward, where three
nominees were up and only one to be
elected, the same conditions were
presented. This has been settled by
Dan Yaeger drawing out, leaving j.
A. Brown and William Kitchen to run
agaiSnt each other.

get along. Until this fight is settled
Butte will suffer much in a business
way.

ADJUSTMENTS
"DoIIy Warden" Coming.

Dolly Warden" the Strange ana Ed
wards comic opera, with Miss Lulu
Chaser in the title role, comes to the
Walla Walla theater December IND
This particular Dolly Warden which
Miss Chaser impersonates has no con-
nectiOn whatever with the Dickens
character in "Barnaby Rudge' but Is
rather founded on a somewhat
mythical parsonage, whose name some
years ago was so generally used in
naming feminine articles of attire. In
fact. that this is the case is perhaps
doubtful, and more than likely the au-
thors of the play simply took the name
for the title, because it sounded well.

JUMPED FROM COLLEGE WINDOW
J. r. SeeIey Disappears From
Pullman.

PULLMAN.-The student who
tried to cash a forged check. pur-
porting to bear the signature of E. H
Letterman, a local capitalist, is J. R.
Seeley, whose home is near Plaza, in
Spokane county The young man dis
appeared after the hazardous leap
from a third story window of the boys
dormitory and all efforts to secure
trace Of him have failed. His father
arrived here Tuesday afternoon and
left for Moscow in hopes Of finding his
son.
1t is believed the young man is
merely the tool of some older person,
as S. G. Sargent, cashier of the bank,
compared the signature Of the check
with the writing Of young Seeley and
declared it is quite different. The boy
excited suspicion when he entered the
bank and presented the check by stat
ing that the check was given to him
by another student whom he did not
know very we'll and who had asked
him to cash it for him.
When Mr.. Sargent went to the tele-
phone to ask Mr.. Letterman about
the check Seeley fled. He was fol-
lowed to the Administered ton building
of the college, where he was capturd
by Mr.. Sargent and members of the
faculty, but escaped and was followed
to the dormitory and chased to his
room in the third floor. He locked the
door on the inside and refused to
open it. While his pursurers were
taking off the lock he escaped through
the window and all trace of him was
lost.

SNOHOMISH, Wash.-Dennis Wall

CURE, on his farm near Cathcart
was found dead Tuesday morning by
the crew of a southbound freight, ly-
ing beside the track and covered by
water.
A small wound on the back of his
head and a few drops of blood on the
track twelve feet from the body indi-
cate the man was struck by someone
or something before falling into the
water. Near the body were two COM
plete outfits of clothing and other ar
ticles, purchased at Karo's store in
Snohomish, indicating that at the time
he was hit Wall was in company with
a second party. He is known to have
been with Frank Pelletier a French
man, employed by Tom Evans on his
farm near Cathcart Tuesday, and it
is believed Pelletier may be able to
throw some light on the tragedy.

OLYMPIA, Wash, Nov. 27.-The
perior court judge, or other officer au-
thorized to take dispositions, has no

Herman the Great" Tonight.

Hermann the Great" who appears
at the opera hause tonight, has the
reputation for being a persistent orig
inator and his performances this sea-
son adds to that reputation many new
laurels. An entirely new and startl-
ing program of magic is offered for
the amusement of local theater-gOers.
Hermann made an extended trip to
Europe this past summer, and while
there secured many new and SenSa-
tional feats of magic, which combined
with a number which are original
with him and built under his direction
gives him a program surpassed by
none and superior to any ever presen-
ted on any stage. Two of the new
illusions are likely to create a SEN
sation on their first presentation this
season. In one, The Bride Elect" a
young girl disappears through a mir
rOr in full view of the audience, and
in another, The Queen of Flame"
the subject vanishes in wreathes Of
smoke and fame-an effect startling
in its realism. Mr.. Hermann carries
an increased company this season and
is assisted by the Laskys in their in
terlude of military music.

HANECY DEFEATED.
Republican Judge Who Stood in With
the Lorimer Machine ls
Turned Down.

Chicago, June 3.-Out of the eightee..
candidates voted for in the judiciary
election in Cook county yesterday the
democrats elected fourteen and the re-
publlcans four. A light vote was cast
owing to the we weather, and straight
tickets We're few and far between.
Among the defeated republicans was
Judge Elbridge Hanecy, a close friend
Of Congressman Lorimer.
One superior court Judge, fourteen
circuit court judges and three provis-
ional circuit court Judges were voted
for. Judge Theodore Brentano, repub-
lican, was reelected judge of the SUI
perior court. Richard Tuthill, John
Gibbons and Frederick A. Smith, re-
publicans, were elected to the circuit
court. 81
The successful democrats We're:
Circuit Judges-Murray Z. Tuley,
Edward f. Dunno. Francis Adams,
Frank Baker, Richard w. Clifford,
Thomas G.. Windes, Charles M. Walker,
Lockwood Henore. Edward Q. Brown,
George Keerstein, Julian w. Mack.
For the provisional court judges
three democrats We're elected, as fol-
lows:
Thomas M. Hoyne, Joseph A. oDon-
nell and George Mills Rogers.
Although the democrats carried the
county by about 10000 majority,
Messrs. Tuthill and Gibbons and Fred
.erick a. Smith ran ahead of the res
publican ticket sufficiently to win.

The property loss will amount to
approximately $1,000. 1000.
The whole of North Topeka Is still
under water seven feet deep, while 200
people are penned up in the second
stories of various buildings. They have
plenty OF food but are In great need of
good drinking water, which is being
supplied as rapidly as possible In bar

The great fear at present is that
some buildings In North Topeka may
collapse because their foundations are
being undermined. There Is no inn
mediate apprehension that the wooden,
mill Will go down, but every effort will
pc made to extr1cate the people from
that point as quickly as possible, to
avoid any further loss of life.
AT 8 o'clock this morning the Kaw
river was almost at a standstill, with q
slight tendency towards falling. There
is no rising Of water from above.
Ra1n has fallen without cessation for
the last twenty hours, but at no time
has 1t been in the nature Of a cloud
burst.
The situation al North Topeka is Inn
proving. There is but little more dan.
ger Of death from drowning. Except in
Isolated cases refugees have been cared
for, Many are wearing insufficient
clothing. Hundreds are sleeping in inn
provised beds, but 1t is believed all have
been cared for.
Boats have crossed from the south
side to North Topeka with abundance
OF provisions. A number Of people have
been pulled across from the stricken
district over a wire cable, where the
Melan bridge stood. A sand dredge
was operated after the name Of a
breeches buoy.
Only one railroad line, can get in or
out OF Topeka today. That is the
Santa Fe, by way Of Emporia. A train
was sent to Emporia this morning at s
o'clock, and another will be sent at
noon. From Emporia the train will try
to go via Ottawa on the the Missouri
Pacific,

club carried as a mascot, discovered
the presence Of six crap-shooters and
gamblers who. had come upon the!
grounds with thoir paraphernalia pre-,
pared to do business. Sandy objected
to this, and backed by a number Of the
|Belt1hoover men and rooters for the
club, ordered the gamblers from tho
grounds. The latter refused to go and
produced a brace Of %revolvers.
The assailants rallied, and with REL
Inducements made a rush for the GAM
blers. George Forter, M Of the fugt-i
tives. was caught, terribly beaten and
thrown owe q hill.
The two remaining fugitives took
refuge In a large chicken coop and
when SANDY made dash for thel
coop, intending to drag the men OUT
he received a bullet In the breast and
fell fatally wounded. Following this
up the men inside the 8 would
open the door, fire into the crowd. and
then jump back to safety. One of)
the mob climbed to the roof, auda3thel
next time the negro Inside. Chariesl
Kelly, opened the door to fire, a huge,
rock fell and landed on his head.
There was a rush at the PROSTATE form
and the man was literally pounded
to death with clubs and stones.
Still thirsting for vengeance, thel
men rushed the coop, and in few mol
ments. amid mufled shouts and curses
they emerged, dragging the second ne-l
gro, William Davis, with them. Them

his head coming in contact with everyE

Reports of fatalities from the flood

any of them. Whether the raging wa
ters have claimed any victims or not
will not be known until the rivers have
gotten back into their channels and a
