SEATTLE, Wash, Sept. 5.-A writ
of ne eXeat covers cases in which one

is attempting to escape from the juris-
dictiOn of the court and is the proper
remedy to prevent the removal of the
recreant party, according to a decision
made in the superior court by Judge
Tallman. 1t is the first time the point
has ever been raised in this county
and so far as is known the first in the

culiar one. Suit for divorce was re-

COUNTY FAIR THIS FALL.

The question Of a fair this fall is in
doubt The Board OF Directors, ut a
recent meeting, discussed the matter
but reached no decision. AS we under
stand, the question hinges upon whether
or not the Fair Grounds can be pur-
chased mt a certain price and the en-
tire indebtedness removed. AS is well
known. there is quite n sum OF money
due different parties connected here
tofore with the fair, and the new
management are unwilling and Justly
so, to carry old burdens i'm addition to
new ones which must be borne. The
new board has AN option on the property
which, il accepted, will relieve the debts
then we will have a fair, otherwise, per
has, not.
The Board at It's recent meeting

he asks, "Why was my church strick-

1t is TO be hoped that Mr.. Haas has

GRAN0LITHIC WALKS.

In short time the question Of the
issuance OF bonds for S15.OOO.OO to
build new sidewalks, will be submitted
to the voters OF the town. This move
has the endorsation Of the principal
business men of the town, who own the
largest amounts Of property, and upon
whom, therefore, the tax will fall
heaviest. These business men. who
have already by written contract agreed
to stand by the bond issue, see in this
outlay OF money an increase in the
value OF their property, TO say nothing
OF the increased comfort and conven.
fence to the community.
AS matter Of fact. as any business
man will acknowledge, the granolithic
walks are by far the most economical
II well put down,-or certainly more
economical In the end than plank or
cheap brick. Within the last ten
years this town has thrown away n
great deal OF money in building sorry
plank walks, and more expenditure of
the same kind must be done AT once
unless the granolitnic walks are built.
or course there is some opposition
10 the new move, as was TO be expect
ed. There is always some on to OBJ
lect, and honestly SO, too, but il is
not thought that any good citizen OF
the town, who carefully considers the
question, will stand in the way OF its
successful execution, and put himself
on record as having opposed it.
The new walks cannot, OF course.
reach every mans front door. II SO
there would be no opposition, and on
this account some people will oppose il.
But il money is spent on walks il will
mean still more walks in the future. and
sooner or later, good walks will reach
the entire population.

A Common Experience.

The Editor of the Winchester Demo-

up as follows: 1.-The man who handles
the local department of newspaper
learns after due experience not 10 ex-
pect too many thanks for a column OF
pleasant things, but he knows as surely
as come the seasons that a single line
in which there are unintentional mis-.
take will cause some one to be heard
Also when he has made pleasant men
ton 999 times OF some person. place or
thing, but on the l000th time fails to
do so, he must not expect to be forgiv-
en-. The omissions may have been
from accident, inadvertance or even an
entire lack of knowledge-It matters
not. The fact remains that ne will be
Judged on that. He may say good
things about some business man for
weeks, bur let him make some mistake
and the good things said are forgotten
and that mans business is denied him

ENDORSED 1T ENTIRE.

The Republican Convention here
last. week endorsed the administration
OF President Roosevelt without excep-
ton or reservation. THIS action
must be taken to mean that his pol
Icy AS well as his official acts are
heartily approved, and that he will
receive their support in the contin-
nance of the same. That is 10 saw:

The Country Editor.

Speaking Of the valuable service rem
dered by the weekly papers OF Georgia
in bringing about a recently accom-
plished reform in the public affairs Of
that state, the Atlanta Constitution has
this to say of country editors generally.
"And so il has been with all great non.
ular movements which have from time
to time stirred the state, bringing about
important legislation. 1t was to the
weekly press that the developement OF
the common school system Is due. II
was the weekly press that blou1ht
about the enactment Of the franchise
tax law; it is largely due to the influence
or the weekly press that the state tax
rate has been reduced: and very MANY
other Instances might be- cited to show
the great part played by these splendid
newspapers, scattered from one end of
state to the other, in promoting the
welfare or the people. No man comes
nearer voicing the sentiments OF the
people than the country editor He Is
one OF them, knows the trend of their
thought. and IL honestly and sincerely
devoted to their welfare. His HIGHEST
hope Is III being able to contribute
toward the conservation Of their inter
ests and the bettermenr of their condi.
