LEvAN WAS FOULLY MURDERED

Seattle.-The mystery surrounding
the disappearance of A. e. Levan from
Sunnydale nearly three months ago
was doubly deepened when Herman
Kessler, a Seattle merchant who
knew Levan well, positively identified
the body found in the Duwamish river
as that Of the missing man.
Less than fortnight ago the body
of man found floating in the Duwam-
fish river last June was exhumed for
the second time on suspicion that it
might be Levan's, and was SO identi-
fed. Among the persons making the
Identification was Kessler.
The upshot of the matter was that
the body was taken from it's first rest
ing place in the potter's field to Lake
view cemetery and buried for the
third time with due ceremony as that
Of Levan. The headstone over the
grave now bears Levan's name.
And now comes Kessler,who was
never quite certain In his own mind
regarding the identity of the potter's
field corpse, and positively identifies
the floater found at the race track as
Levan's body. He said at the Bonny-
Watson morgue that the suit which
the dead man wore was one which he
himself sold to Levan. A brass key
in one of the pockets he identified as
the key to Levan's house at Sunny
dale.
AS will be remembered, Levan's
friends are firmly convinced that he
was murdered by certain enemies and
no n,,V ich
The body of the floater found last
June was badly decomposed, and the
one found later is headless and in
horrible state Of decay. The cloth
ing affords the only means Of identif1-
cation.
Coroner Hoye is positive that the
man whose decomposed body was
found was foully murdered.

NEW DEPARTMENT WILL
-
School of Domestic Science at Aori.
cultural College

Pullman, Aug. 10-The new DEPART
ment of domestic science, which was
recently established as a part of the
course for girls in the Washington
Agricultural college, will be opened
with the term of school, September
"a. Miss Edith F. McDermott, of
F:ttsburg, Pa, has been elected in
structor i nthis branch, and will ar
rive in Pullman early in September to
begin her work
Miss McDermOtt is a graduate of
the Drexel institute of PHILADELPHIA.
In 1896 she established the woman's
department of the Michigan Agricul-
tural college and remained in charge
two years, when, her health failing,
she resigned and spent some time in
travelling abroad. Upon her return
she resumed her work in the Pittsburg
schools, where she remained until
elected to Pullman.
This department includes three d.
visions, namely: What is known as
domestic science" Or subjects rela-
ting to cooking; domestic art" or
subjects relating to clothing; "domes-
tic economy" or subjects relating to
household management. Two fine
rooms in the new chemistry building
known as Morrill, hail. have been set
apart for the department of domestic
science. These will be fitted I'D for
individual work for about thirty stu
dents. Each student will have a com
plete outfit for work. A room in Stey-
ems hall, the girls dormitory, will be
set apart for the school of domestic
art, and will be provided with sewing
machines. cutting tables, ETC., for
work along this line
This work will be required of all
girls students in the school of agri-
culture and preparatory school, but in
the other departments it will be op-
tional as to TIME, but wifi be a re-
quirement for graduation. The addi-
ton to this department places the
girls on an equal footing with the boy
students. as they will be given an ell.
ucation along practical lines, as are
the boys. who have a large number OF
trades and professions taught them in
this school

LOWER COURT REVERSED.
Mortgage Company Wins in Action for
Ejectment.

Olympia, Aug. 10.-The supreme
court has today reversed the case OF
the Philadelphia Mortgage & Trust
company, appellant. against V. E..
Palmer and wife and J. B Camps and
wife. The case involved an action Of
ejectment under section $500 of Bel
fingers code, in which appellant, who
was plaintiff below, sought to recover
possession and quiet title to real prop
erty in Seattle.
Two somewhat important points
were involved in the decision The
supreme court holds that an appeal is
not in the nature of an original pro-
cess, and it was not a fatal defect in
the notice of appeal in that all the
defendants were not specially men
toned, inaSmuCh as the notice was
properly served on all of them and
bore the number of the case given by
1.-the lower court. The mortgage com
pany claimed the premises through
the color of title and possession for
seven years and through having paid
the taxes for that time 1t was con
sidered by the defendants that mas
much as the company had occupied
INC lohu ouc yOt1i anu udu dDduuo1Cu
it except TO claim ownership for six
years it could not claim the statute of
limitation either as an actual occu-
pant or as one holding the lands un-
der color of title. The court holds
that there is too narrow a
construction of the law. 1t al
so holds that the sheriff's sale under
mortgage held by the company gave
the sufficient color Of title to enable
them to benefit Of the statute, even
though deed was not issued until less
than seven years before the date OF
the entry of defendants upon the land
Judgment as prayed for is ordered
entered for the mortgage company.

COAL MINE FOUND,
Large Vein Of Good Quality is Discov
cred Near South Bend.

South Bend, Wash, Aug. 10.-Con-
siderable excitement exists here over
the discovery Of a coal mine about ten
miles east of this place. The find was
made by Attorney NJ c. Welsh and
Dr. T. S. Kennedy There appears to
be an almost inexhaustible supply of
coal. which tests show to be fully
equal to the Roslyn article, which it
very much resembles.
The matter has been very quietly
investigated for some time and was
only made public last night after a
royalty contract had been secured
from the owners OF the land by Messrs.
Welsh and Kennedy. The mine will
be developed at once.
1t has been known for years that a
good quality Of coal existed on Mill
creek and several attempts have been
made to locate the vein, but this is
the first successful attempt. The vein
lis four and one-half feet thick, eight
hundred feet wide and has forty five
degree dip. Asphaltum in large guam
titles is also found.

OF BANKS
MAY GO UP
Board Of Equalization Issues Citations
Need Not Take Action.

Seattle.-The city and county board
of equalization have tentatively raised
the question of increasing the assess
ment Of the personal property OF the
banks of the county. The matter was
discussed in executive session. and
disposed Of temporarily by the issu
ance of citations to the banks to ap
pear and show cause why the In
crease should not be made.
The matter may drop there, but it
was thought best to issue the clta
tons because the law requires five
days notice to taxpayers when an In
crease of assessment is contemplated
and the board will continue in session
only eight days longer. The propo-
sition is to raise the assessment OF
certain bank assets from 60 per cent.
of their face value to par. The assets
in question are said to be gllt-edged
paper and other securities, which are
thought to be worth their face value.

1G0RMAN Is HOPEFUL
DEMOCRATS WILL WIN
Is Next Years Presidential Contest
Says Tariff Will Be Prin-
cipai Issue.

Washington, D. Ex-senator Cor
man, for the first time since his re
turn from Eyurope, talked politics
In an interview he chose the tariff
question as his subject and roundly
denounced the present law, which, he
said, is annually collecting from the
earnings of the people $4,000. O0O
more than can be spent, even with the
most reckless extravaganza. A con-
tinuance OF these rates. he says, will
breed not only extravaganza, but cor.
ruprion He added:
THE revision of the tariff should be
great issue in the presidential cleo
ton. In order to win, the democratic
party must have the confidence Of The
business interests of the country. The
lack of that confidence caused the de
feats In 1896 and 1900. To secure that
confidence now there must be an ex'
plicit pledge that in the revision OF the
tariff it is not the purpose OF the par
ty to wreck industries, many Of which
were established under the existing
law. The pledge should be similar to
the one upon which the democratic
party elected it's ticket in 1884.
with a platform which will salts
fy the substantial interests OF the
country. l believe We can carry enough
northern and western states to elect
our candidate. We should be able to
carry New York and the adjacent
states. Then we should carry the
battle into the great business centers
of the west That means contest In
Ohio which will keep the republicans
fully occupied in that state. Indiana
and Illinois also are hopeful fields
think we can carry several OF the
mountain states-Colorado, Idaho,
Montana. and possibly others. We
have a good fighting chance In Cali
fornia. and Oregon is close. l there
fore regard the outlook as exceeding
ly hopeful.
The southern people have gotten
away from the issues of 1896 and 1900.
Their natural conservatism has as
serted itself, and they are now ready
toiofn with the conservative demo
cratic people of the rest of the coun-
try.
The gold and silver question has
settled itself, and the north has as
scented to the management OF the ne
gro problem by the south. The south
has determined that intelligence and
property must dominate; also that its
civilization must be preserved. 10
this the north assents."

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

There is only one way to cure deaf

remedies Deafness is caused by an

this tube is inflamed you have rumD:

unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its nor

HIS FIRST AMERICAN WORK.

Sir William Van Horne, chairman
of the Canal Pacific railway, was
interviewed in New York not long ago
by a young gentleman who insisted
on treating him like a foreigner. The
Montreal capitalist took it as a mat
ter of course. until the interviewer
asked innocently:
Did you ever have anything to do
with our American railroads, Sir VIII
LAM"
The good knights eyes sparkled as
he answered. "Oh yes. l served on
both Alton and Illinois Central
"In what offices?" asked the scribe,
with pencil ready.
81 sold books on Alton and oranges
on Illinois Central" said the chair
man of the Canadian Pacific quietly;
but that was some little time ago."
