RASTUS HIT THE
PAVEMENT HARD

Vernard Rastus, colored lad, was vio-
lently dashed to the pavement this morn
ing by the falling of his horse The young
man is employed at the John Welch livery
stable on st. Helens avenue.
The slush on the pavements this morn
ing made the footing very uncertain, and
while riding at a brisk gait in front of
the Owl theater the horse slipped and
fell Young Rastus was hurled from his
seat, sliding many feet on his back upon
the hard pavements. To the great sur
prise of all the spectators who rushed out
to pick him up the colored rider arose,
rubbed his back and started off after his
horse. The animal was soon caught and,
remounting, Rastus rode away as if
anxious to make up for the time lost by
the fall.
The wonder is that the boys head was
not broken.

TRAIN GUARDED
BY ARMED MEN

When Northern Pacific passenger train
No. ZIG left Seattle Saturday night sew
eral well armed railroad detectives were
on board and the express and baggage
cars looked like arsenals The cause OF
all these warlike preparations was tip
that an attempt might be made to hold up
the train somewhere between Black River
Junction and Argo.
The hold-up men. too. had evidently
been given a tip, for the train was not
molested While going through the sec
ton where the trainmen expected to see
the red light displayed the officers stood
"behnd the guns" ready to deliver a
warm reception TO the expected highway
men.
Railroad officials would say nothing
about the matter II is understood that
several detectives are in Tacoma today
keeping an eye on the situation.

WORKING FOR NEW
STEAMBOAT LINE

Secretary Whitehouse of the Chamber
of Commerce is making an effort to have
the Canadian Pacific make Tacoma port
of call for the steamer Princess Beatrice,
which is soon to go on the Victoria
run.
The Princess Beatrice is a new 1000
ton wooden vessel and is allowed to carry
500 passengers. Her speed is about 10
daily at IL p. m and Seattle at a. m.
The benefits of having a direct service
between Tacoma and Victoria would be
very great and strong effort will be
made to secure it.

Receiver Bucey has prepared his state
ment of the affairs of the Washington 20
operative and Montezuma Mining compa-
MES, which will soon be submitted TO
Judge Thad Huston of the superior court.
MIR Bucev estimates the total value OF
all properties of both companies at $3.50,
O0432.
The estimated value of the Washington
Cooperative company alone is $22l ,S566l
and that of the Montezuma company Is
Sll7.l47.8l. The liabilities of both compa-
MES amount to about $4,000.
Some arrangement will be made, II pos

pressing their claims. The receiver says
that 100 tons daily can be taken from the
Montezuma mine for long time, but
with some additional expense 200 tons
daily could be taken out.

SWEEPING CHANGE IN
FORESTRY DEPARTMENT

The office of superintendent of state
forestry reserves is practically abolished.
In it's stead Superintendent David d;
Shelter, who has been filling this federal
position, now performs duties akin to those
of a special agent of forestry reserves. MT
Shelters work is that of investigating the
claims of settlers and squatters on the
different reserves, the examination OF
tracts which the department at Washing
ton thinks it advisable to either eliminate
from or else include in the reserves, ana
the execution of any special line OF WORK
taken up in connection with the forestry
reserves, and the treating with sheep ana
cattle men who desire to pasture their
focks and herds This is a sweeping
change in the operation of the forestry
reserve work. the difference being a CON
centration in the department at Washing
ton of all of the power and authority
formerly exercised by the forestry super
intendent Instead of reporting to the
state superintendent as formerly, the 1or-
estry supervisors will now report direct
to the head Of the department IN wash

IS ITS BuDDnIsM BErrERp
A Chicago Pastors Criticism of Nor
NAL Christianity.

Chicago, April 4.-Whether Chris
tianity or Buddhism is the ideal reli-
gion for Japan was discussed yester-
day by DIR. w. n. Clarke, in a sermon
at the Second Baptist church. He
referred to japanese commission
sent to America to investigate the
practical results of Christian teach
ings. He said in part:
. SIT is reported that this commission
is to determine whether or not Chris
tianity should supplant Buddhism in
Japan. 1t is to decide from actual
observance whether our religion can
be recommended and, it is said, the
commission already has decided that
in England Christianity failure.
What of America? Is it not true
that there is a great deal of nominal
Christianity not worth transplanting ?
We say we live in Christian coun-
try and still the saloon fourishes here
as well as the church. We send beer
and whiskey to foreign countries in
the same ships with our missionaries.
1t is necessary that the Japanese COM
mission should be able to Judge be-
tween nominal and real Christianity,
or else itmight decide that heather
religion is better.''

NOT FOR KANSAS MOTHERS.
Some Objection to an Exhibition of
Pretty Girls.

Larned, Kans., April 4.-The moth
ers of girls who live in this section of
Kansas do not look with favor upon
the proposal to have beauty show
of Kansas girls at the Worlds Fair
this summer. One woman said COM
ing out of church here yesterday:
II am sure the commissioners have
not given the idea full consideration.
There is more than one side to it. Of
course, it would be refreshing for
visitors to be received in the Kansas
building by d company of bright and
attractive girls, such as Kansas could
send there, ard certainly they would
be a great help to the matron. That
is the side of it the commissioners
look upon, but there is another side.
What mother wants her inaOcent and
pure-minded daughter to be made a
show of for the gaze of the vulgar
public? All the world will be at the
ST. Louis exposition. and our Kansas
girls are not for the inspection of all
the world. 1t is all right to have a
fine stock show from Kansas, but not
a beauty show of our girls. And
there is still another side, and that is
that many would be called and few
chosen. This would leave in the
hearts of the many left behind resent
ment, envy and jealousy. No, we
don't want to advertise Kansas that
way, but if a show is decided upon let
us send all our girls. 1t would come
high, of course, but better that than

"Spotted Fever" in Hodgeman
County.

Topeka, March 25.-The state board
of health in session here is Investigate
ing the general health conditions Of
the state. The members of the board
are very much alarmed over a report
that three cases of .'spotted fever"
exist in Hodgeman county. The ply
sicians entertain some doubts about
the genuiueness of the cases of this
fever or the contagious form of cerebro
spinal meningitus, but the cases will
be carefully watched. Cerebro spinal
meningitus is one of the disease,
which nearly always results fatally.
It's contagious form is not known in
this section of the United States. One
popularity of the disease is that the
victim of it who escapes death becomes
deaf mute. The disease is very
rare in this state, however, and the
state board will do everything in its
power to prevent its further spread,
should it develop that the three cases
in Hodgeman county are as reported.
The epidemic of measles is wide
spread over the state and the greater
part of the sickness at this time is due
to this disease. In many cases the
patient is merely taken with the Ger
man measles, the twenty-four hour
variety, from which evil effects never
result. In many cases of the regular
measles, however, An attack of rneu-
monia has been attended as an after
complication, rendering the situation
very serious

Patronize Home Merchants.

Mail order houses are beginning to
get their literature out among the
people of this vicinity. If you happen
to get hold of any of their matter look
we'll to the prices and quality of goods
offered by the home merchants before
sending your money to out Of town
people. In nine cases out of ten the
price made by the local merchant is
just as low if not lower than that
made by the foreign firm and you
have the goods to examine before pay
ing for them. On the other hand you
pay for what you get before you get
it from the foreign man and if you are
not satisfied when the goods come you
are out: and that's all there is to it..
Taken all in all it is a pretty safe
proposition to spend your money with
the people who help to make business
in the town you live in. Be cautious:

During the last few days the popu-
lists aud democrats over the state
have been holding conventions and it
is interesting to note the sentiment of
the members of both parties as to the
proper course to pursue in the coming
state campaign. The sentiment in
favor of getting together seems to be
almost unanimous. Nothing succeeds
like success, and there is no chance of
success without comb Many
of the delegates to the populist con-
vention to be held in Topeka next
week have been instructed to work for
an Adjournment to such date as the
democrats name at their convention
in Wichita this week so that fusion
may be assured. It will probably be
necessary to run our candidates under
the democratic name SO as to avoid
conflict with the republican secretary
of state, who would probably not al

and to appeal to the supreme court
would be worse than useless and a loss

together and whip the republicans and

The recent Doodle investigations in

The tremendous increase in the pro-

got ahead of the ability of the trusts
to care for it. The probability is that
the crude oil will now be crowded

wells for little or nothing, and then
prices will again go up. The notice
able fact is that Notwithstanding the
phen omenal production of crude oil,
the price of the refined product con-
tinues as high as ever.

As predicted by the OBSERVER last
week, a large number Of Polk County
Democrats 5 stayed at home on election
day. A comparison Of Tuesdays
vote with that Of last June shows that

number OF those who went to the polls
cast their ballots for the Roosevelt
electors. The Bryan Democrats Of
West would have none Of Parker, and
