STENTz IS IN THE PRISON
AFTER A LONG FIGHT SPOKANE
MAN is BROUGHT TO THE
PENITENTIARY.

Driving Over Him With
Team.

Sheriff w. j. Doust of Spokane
county, arrived in Walla Walla yester-
day afternoon with Frank Stentz, VINO
will serve the remainder of two
years term in the state penitentiary

Stentz's case is one with quite his
tory. On October 16, 1901, he, with
three other men, John Bilefeld, John
Bilefield, jr., and Henry Lichtwerk
had been out hunting, and were re-
turning to Cheney. The evidence in
the case went to show that the men
were somewhat under the influence of
liquor and were driving recklessly.
southeast of Cheney the team and
wagon ran over NJ. w. Orion, who was
on a bicycle. From the effects of the
accident orion died shortly afterWard.
The four men We're arrested, but be-
fore Justice KEENAN, three of the men
were discharged and Stentz was bound
| over to the superior court on the
charge of manslaughter, he being the
one who was driving the team.
| He was tried in the superior court
and was found guilty. He appealed
! and the supreme court reversed the
| decision of the lower court and sent
| the case back for a new trial.
The second trial took place at the
| March term of court in 1908, and II
| again resulted in a conviction. Judge
| Richardson sentenced StentZ to serve
| two years in the state penitentiary
| He again appealed and the case drag
ged along until January IS, 1904, Wher
| the supreme court sustained the deciS-
| ion of the lower court. During all OF
this time Stentz has been an inmate
| of the Spokane county Jail.

A Good Bill.

The new bill, "Brother Against

the Park theater last night. The play
is new and strong and it certainly
made a hit as it was played last night.
The play was We'll staged, having spe-
cial scenery having been painted for it.
The play in itself is very pathetic, but
it has many comical situations. Enrol

A Tribute to Arkansas Merchants.

The St. Louis Dry Goodsman.
journal devoted to mercantile inter
ests, pays the following tribute to
Arkansas merchants:
"We want to take off our hats to
Arkansas. There are certainly rich
er states in the union, and more pop
ular ones, more developed ones and
more progressive ones, but with all
due respect to all others we do not
believe that any other state has a
more honest set of merchants, or
men with whom it is a greater pleas
ure to do business. Arkansas can
give nearly all of us lessons in COM
mercial morality. There are very
few failures in Arkansas, and when a

fits are safe down there, and heads
of houses will sell goods to Arkan.
sas and sleep peacefully while the
bills are maturing. A business of a
million dollars year for FIVE years
| without a dollars loss is what one
st. Louis house has done with Ar
kansas, and there are other houses
with similar records.
Arkansas has much to contend
with. The unpaid newspaper para
grapher and picturesque story wri-
ter have cost the state much in the
estimation of outsiders, but there are
precious few dollars that the mer-
chants have cost anyone.
''1t is about time Arkansas was
getting her due-she deserves, and
should have a full heaping measure
of several kinds of credit"

Some Remarks About Mothers.

There has been a good deal writ
ten about mothers their goodness,
their patience, their influence" +"
writes Mary c. Stetson in the No
vcmber Ladies Home Companion.
perhaps it would be a good plan
to write a few lines about how to
keep the mothers longer out of
heaven and longer in the house. To
the ordinary mothers-no, there are
no ordinary; they are all extraordi-
nary in their particular homes
holidays come rarely. Mary has
party and mother makes a cake.
Tom goes fishing and mother puts
up the lunch. Even the husband
takes day off, but the kitchen fire
is kept burning. 1t is the mother
who "stays by the stuff" and in
hot weather she is like Cassabianca
on the burning deck-no one comes
to the rescue.
Now, young people, you love
your mothers You are only thought
less. You have so long lived in the
light of a mothers smile that YOU
baveuot thought it could grow dim
you. She has made eteryver-- for
comfortable so many years, with the
nlnistrations of her deft hands.
that apparently there has been no
need of any outside help.
Let us take look at these hands.
The wedding ring is worn thin; it
slips about on her finger l think
the finger must have been quite soft
and white when that was first put
on. What makes those joints so
large, so out of proportion to the
fingers? They came so gradually
nor in day, but after many whole
days, whole years Of hard labor.
She did not think about her hands
or try to save them or feel sad about
their looks. 1t was ALWAYS her
husbands, or Mary's or Tom COM
fort she was thinking about. 1t
seems to me, as she turns to 90 out
of the room, that she is round
shouldered and bends over. | am
sure when she was a bride she was
tall and straight. l wonder what
would happen if you young people
should all look at your mother with
seeing eyes, as we have looked at
the mother of Mary and Tom. If
you rub them little with the oil of
love and unse'hshness. perhaps you
will see more than l have suggested.
See that your mother takes a
needed rest before she is called to her

If youcan't work it will be a good

THE CHICKEN.

Lines written on seeing a preacher
picking out chicken for his Thanks
giving dinner.)
1t would seem, in a great and free

That the rights of a chicken would not
come amiss;
With the unreserved right to come and
to go,
And guarantee special to cackle and
crow.

- oIne morning,
The chances are, largely, and that
: without warming,
In his visit to scenes that to him are
quite new,
He may possibly find himself chilled
through and through.
RctrospectiveIy, now, see him poised
on one leg,
Rejoicing that his had not proved
bad egg.
With a siege through the cholera, the
mites and the gapes,
There's another disaster he but = ely
escapes;
1t is simply the great possibility,
In the nest, being mashed by reck-
less old hen.
There may be something wanting in
dignity here,
But with him it is different, however
queer;
Though the subject be lacking in
meaning or vim,
'Tis wreck of matter and crush of
worlds to him.
Had he failed in his struggles, or had
shown the white feather,
He would hardly be growing, or cack-
ling either,
Weasels, snakes and the minks he de-
risively nocks,
Not to speak of the rats, the owls or
the hawks,
And chivalrously passing through the
screamers and screechers,
The last, but not least are the Method
ist preachers.
For preachers a preacher, and fond
of good pickin,
Who is Heaven on most things, but
HI on chicken.

And while battling for rights that
freedom confers,
Like a Knight, he's been winning the
right to his spurs.

of tho military authorities to con-
ceal certain preparations, move

To reconcile these apparently con-
ficting necessities may be difficult,
but Il is essential to try to do so.
The first step is to provide for the
registration of correspondents. In
times of peace, the war department
should receive applications for cor
respondents licenses, and after fully
satisfying themselves regarding the
applicants qualifications, the exam
lining officials should place the names
of these found worthy, upon an ap-
proved list. When occasion arises,
correspondents can then be selected
from d body of men of proved abil-
ity and assured character
The men thus chosen should be
given he full privilege of the front,
and allowed to write as they choose.
Their material should be sealed and
committed to the military authori-
ties, tdhe dispatched when these Of
ficials Ne fit. The matter could thus
be he'll until the official in charge
was atished that no harm could
come o campaign operations from
publio4tion, but when published the
letter should be given to the world
