easy for the women, or male hangers

the falls.

friends and acquaintance began to
arrive at the Hotel Victoria to have
a last look at the remains of Miss
Louise Harris, who persisted in the
wreck of the steamer Clallam last

her friends in and out of the city.
The body was removed to All

The consensus of opinion among the
republicans OF the city is that Colonel
Ridpath is making the best canvass
for the nomination of governor that

organization down to fine working

And Ed Saunders is out after the

TO Shift
The Blame
The Iroquois Investigation
Brings Out Some Veryi
Strange Facts.

CHICAGO, Jan. 15.-Chief Of the
Fire Department Murshman was on
the stand in the Iroquois investiga-
ton this morning. He followed with
apparent effort the other officials by
trying to shift the blame. He said
he had nothing whatever to do with
the Iroquois. He would have been
encroaching on the duties of the
building department had he said any
thing. He said all he had to do was
to approve of the fire fighting appar-
atus Of theaters when notified it had
been placed. When asked whether it
was the duty Of the Iroquois fireman
to report to him he said yes, but the
man did not do so. When asked why
he didn't require him to make a re-
port he said he couldn't say. He sup
posed he overlooked it as he had been
too busy to pay any attention to the
theaters.
Under further examination Mursh-
man said he notified the Iroquois
management that it would have to
employ a fireman on the stage. The
managers protested to the corporation
counsel and Mayor Harrison. The
chief was then summoned to the cor
poration counsels Office and he I'M
derstood from the latter that he had
no power to enforce ordinances. Man
ayers pleaded their employees were
could a regular fireman.

successfully elected the head of their

Sanders is ambitious and wants the

Republicans say there is not the
least doubt in the world but what the
east side of the mountains will nomi-

has had that plum long enough and
politics demand that Spokane be rec
ognized at the next republican con
vention and that she be given the
naming of the head of the ticket.
