A PIONEER is KILLED
Marris Hill Was Shot by Carl Way
man, at Melmont.

TACOMA, Sept. morris Hill was
shot and killed at Melmont a small
town on the Northern Pacific line be-
yond Carbonate, by Carl Wayman.
Wayman claims the shooting was ac-
cidental.
News of the shooting reached here
this afternoon through a long distance
telephone message from Melmont to
Deputy Sheriff Lincoln. The person
telephoning claimed to know nothing
of the killing of Hill beyond the bare
fact that Wayland had hold of the
gun when it went off with fatal effect
Wayland was being kept under sur
veillance, Notwithstanding his declara-
tions that the shooting was wholly an
accident.
Hill is well-known in the mining
towns in the eastern end of Pierce
county, and also throughout the Mash
Ell mountain region. the Succotash val
ley and the valley of the Upper Mis-
qually. He was a man about so years
of age, and with his brothers, Levant
and Peter Hill was one of the first piO-
neers of the Mashed region in Pierce
try in Lewis county.

PocketfuI Of Snakes at His Table.

ALTO PASS. H., Sept. When he
found a nest of snake eggs in a field
on his farm the other day Ed Foens,
who lives at Cache Bottoms, near this
place, thought it would be an excellent
joke to take the eggs home and sur
prise his family. He surprised the
family and incidentally scared the wO-
men members of it into several differ
ent stages of hysteria. For Folens let
his after dinner pipe lull him into for
getfulness of the eggs. and he retired
for the night. leaving the snakes to
hatch out in mis- pocket. They hatched
out perfectly, and when FOlens put his
hand in his pocket at the breakfast
table next morning. instead of his to-
baccO, he drw out a handful of healthy
young snakes.

DES MONIES. Iowa. Sept. let
son Balliett, charged with operating a
gigantic mining swindle with the use
of the United States mails, will be
brought before the federal court here
this week for his third trial. In his
second Ballett was found guilty and
fined $1,000, with a sentence of one
year in the penitentiary. The su-
preme court granted new trial on err
rOrs
The Balliett litigation is most re-
markable. Four years ago when the
young man who mad been out of school
but few months, was arrested, he
had the sympathy of the best people in
Des MOines Albert B. Cummins the
present governor, was employed to de-
fend him. When chance seemed IA
vorable for his acquittal, one of the
jurors died suddenly and the court or
dered new trial. The case was pend
ing for a year. When it finally came
up Ballett had lost mis- strongest at
tOrney through a political fortune
which landed Governor Cummins in
the executive chair. The lawyer next
to Cummins at the Des MOines bar
was Judge Bishop and he was en-
plOyed to defend. The case was lost,
but upon appeal to the higher court
was reversed. Again politics stepped
in to rob Ballett of his strongest prop.
Judge Bishop was made supreme judge
of the state and could no longer appear
for his former client

Chldess Widow Is Richest of Women.

PHILADELPHIA. Sept. Mrs.
Anne Nj. Weightman Walker is, by the
terms of the will of her father, William
Weightman. the chemical king, which
was probatei today, the richest wo-
man in the world in control of her own
fortune. An estimate made by one Of
the grandchildren of Mr.. Weightman,
places the value OF the estate at $780,
100000.
Every cent of this is left absolute
ly to Mrs. Walker, who is made CO.
executor of the estate and it is not ne
cessary to file either bonds or inven-
tories. AS Mrs. Walker is a chldess
widow. the ultimate disposal of the es-
tate is completely a matter of con-

BROWNS IN THE PiLCHUCk
Patrick Smith, Aged 20, Seized With
Cramps.

SNOHOMISH, Sept. 7.-Patrick
Smith, aged 20 years. was drowned at
MOrgans dam on the Pilchuck.
The young man was bathing with
others in the river when his cOmpan-
ions noticed that he was acting
strangely. Though not beyond his
depth and a good swimmer. he disap-
peared beneath the water and nearly
caused the drowning of another young
man who went to mis- rescue.
In the excitement considerable time
passed before he was got out Of the
water, and all efforts to revive him
were of no avail though three doc
tors were soon on the ground.
1t is supposed that he was seized
with cramps from the cold water. He
was a son of J. d. Smith, of this
place and highly respected in the COM
munity.

CHAIRMAN TAGGART WILL DE-
VOTE HIS TIME TO DOUBT
Full STATES.
Democrats Have As Good Right to
Claim New York as the

WASHINGTON. D. c., Sept. T.
Chairman Taggart and those assOciat-
ed with him in the management of
the Parker campaign. have determined
to concentrate their efforts in eight
states, and to endeavor to make sure
of the electoral votes of New YORK.

David 3. Hill has certainly got the
politicians of both parties guessing.
No one is satisfied with the announce
ment of this shreWd democratic leader.
that he intends to quit active politics
on January 1. 1905. His friends try to
believe it. but have their doubts, and
his enemies are inclined to regard the
announcement in the light of a Patti
farewell. Nobody but Hill really
knows what lies behind the straight
forward announcement. Strange as it
may seem, the republicans are the ones
who do not like to see Hill retire. SO
long as Hill remains in politics they
can portray Judge Parker as Hills
candidate. and can spread the report
that if Parker is elected Hill will Ger
tainly become secretary of state. This
is because there is a considerable ele-
ment in the democratic party hostile to
Hill, and if the republicans can make
1t appear that Hill dominated Parker.
they hope to thereby create disgruntle-
ment among the anti-Hill democrats,
in the hope of improving Roosevelt's
chances. especially in New York state.
But if Hill means what he says, and
Will be out of politics after January l,
he can not be considered as a possible
secretary of state. In view of his pc
culiar political past. it may reasonably
be suspected that Hills announcement
was put out to diSpel fears in the dem
Ocratic ranks. regardless of whether or
not the New York boss really intends
to retire. as he promises.

ceal his concern. notwithstanding the
fact that the republicans have a ma
jority of 80 in the present house of rep
resentatives. In discussing the stu
alton. Mr.. Babcock admits that it is
largely local issues that make the re-
suit of the congressional campaign
doubtful. In Nebraska, for instance.
the democrats and populists have fused
on the legislative and congressional
tickets. and will inject Bryan into the
campaign. There is strong probability
that the fusionists will capture from
the fusionists will capture from the
republicans four districts which were
carried last election by very narrow
margins. In West Virginia and in
Wisconsin, Mr.. Babcock finds apathy
among the republicans, in addition to
serious division of the party over To-
cal issues. While hopeful of getting
the republicans together in these states
he recognizes the danger of losing a
number of districts to the democrats.
And so on down the list of states. Mr..
BabcOck says ne will depend more upon
campaign speakers and less upon cam
paign literature than in previous cam
paigns. He will send Speaker Cannon
and other popular and we'll known
vote getterS into the close states, in the
hope of pulling the republicans to-
gether, and possibly winning over a
few democratic votes.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1904-09-07

Three western states, with only II
electoral votes between them. are
needed to insure Parker's success, Ne
vada Montana and Colorado. Nevada
is now strongly democratic, but even
in Nevada Roosevelt enjoys a large de-
gree of personal popularity, which will
be the gratest factor to contribute to-
wards republican success. In Mon
tana it is the same, but if William A.
Clark, jr.. is nominated by the dino
Gratis for congress, that state may be
reasonably counted upon for Parker.
National issues will be thrown to the
wind in Colorado this year. This strike
among the miners has brought to the
front local issues that will dominate
the campaign, and no man is so we'll
Informed as to venture an opinion as
to how the state will line up on those
issues. The republicans are very fear
full of losing Colorado, notwithstanding
Roosevelt's popularity, and as the re-
publicans are losing confidence, the
democrats are taking hope.
When Representative Babcock, CHAIR
man of the republican congressional
campaign committee. admits that the
congressional outlook is very serious
from the republican standpoint, and
further admits that the campaign will
be close, it may be set down as a fact
that there is very good reason for the
democrats to believe that they may
capture. the next house of representa-
tives. Babcock, who has successful
ly managed five successive congress
sional campaigns has never before
admitted that mis- party was in danger
