Rats Ate Up Her Fortune.

Mrs. Martha Williamfeither OF Tip
ton county, Indiana. 68 years old, after
many years of toll on an old-fashioned
carpet loom and at the washtub, ac-
cumulated between $500 and $500 in
currency. During her years OF saving
she had little faith in banking insti-
tutions. She secreted her hard-earned
treasure in a smokehouse adjoining
her home. The money was placed in a
small wooden box. Mrs. WiIliamfeither
went to the smokehouse to deposit
more money in her little baak. and
when she looked into the box she
found the money gone. Coon after her
attention was attracted to a touse-cat
by its mewing. The felins carried a
full-grown rat in its mouth, and a
piece Of a $40 bill was protruding from
the stomach Of the mutilatcd sodent.
This gave Mrs. Wiliiamfeither a cIew
to the there's. Shn searched for the
den of the rodents and there found
all her money excepting $50 or 500.
Several of the bills were mutilated,
and will be SER to the government for
redemption. The house-cat is to be
rewarded with a gold dollar +, its
shrewd detective work.

Peep OF the Day.
OF all the brave little. bright little
Hours,
There's one that is known to but
few;
He has his full share of the sunshine
and flowers
The same as the rest Of them do,
But, somehow or other, most children
at play
Have not even seen jolly Peep Of the
Day.
And this is the reason: he's up and
around
With just the first wink OF the sun,
And quick as a fash. and with never
sound,
His work and his play are all done;
Yes, that's how it happens we miss
little Peep
The most OF us then are abed and
asleep.
He's certainly tiny; but see what he
does
He opens the workshop Of day,
And sets the wheel going with never
a buzz,
bld never moments delay;
lie winds up the clocks-then this
bright little elf
Runs off to give place to the morning
itself.

Republican Rally.

The republican rally in the opera
house last night caused much polit-
ical stir and had the effect of max
ing many friends for Hon. Albert
E. Mead, republican nominee for
governor, andrepublicanism in gen
eral.
The meeting was presided over
by Senator Wilson, who handled
the chair and introduced the speak
ers.
After music by the orchestra,
Senator Herman D. Crow, of Spo-
kane, was introduced and spoke at
length on the political issue and the
advantage to be gained by harmon
ious effort on the part of the repub-
licans of the state and nation. He
spoke of the high character of our
nominee for governor, and dwelt to
some extent on the excellent work
done by that gentleman as mem
Der of the state legislature and the
reputation he has gained and proved
himself worthy of as good, staunch
republican, always having upper
most in his thoughts and actions
the rights of the people at large.
Mr.. Crow showed by the records
from House and Senate Journals
that for the past six years the only
substantial west-side support for a
commission bill and railroad legis-
lation came from republicans of that
part of the state. He took excep-
! ton to numerous statements of the
Spokesman Review and closed with
an appeal to the republicans to be
republicans in every sense of the
word and vote the straight ticket,
state and national.
Senator Crow was followed by c.
w. Clauson, of Kitsap county, can
didate for state auditor, who ex-
pressed great pleasure at being able
to visit this section of the country
in the interest of his party. His
remarks were short and to the point
and his words we'll chosen.
Hon. A. E. Mead, of Whatcom,
candidate for governor, was then
introduced and began with some
very hattering remarks in regard to
the Washington State College, nam
ing that institution as the one to be
attended by his children in later
years. He spoke on the state polit-
ical issues and the great advantage
of combined effort not only in poll
tics but all things. He referred to
himself as all unpledged candidate
with the interests of the state at
heart and no one to serve but the
people.
Mr.. Mead's remarks brought
much applause from the audience
and established for him an enviable
reputation as a straightforward
politician and man.
During the intermission between
the speeches the Colfax male quar-
tette favored the audience with sew
eral numbers, composed especially
for the republican campaign.
