ATTEMPT TO REPEAL THE GAMBLING
LAw.-It is said that the gamblers of
Spokane have raised fund of 5000
to secure repeal of the law prohibiting
gambling in this State, and that the
liquor dealers will raise a like sum.
When il is considered that this action
will be taken by all the cities and
larger towns of the State, the amount
of Doodle that will be at the command
OF the lobby may be easily estimated.

A Furry Over the Flag.


They were this week having a dell OF
time at Spokane over use OF the Amer
lean flag for purposes which come very
near being a violation of the State law
for protection OF the flag and coat.of-
arms of the United States. That act
prohibits the use of " old glory" or the
U. S. shield, or any imitation thereof,
for advertisement of "any goods, wares
or merchandise" and provides that vio-
lation shall be punished by fine OF
not more than $500. 1t seems that
both Democrats and Republicans were
subjects of blame. The former had
decorated flag with the portraits of
several National and State nominees
and the words Government by the
People" all OF which did not consti-
tute an infringement of statute, had
not the sign painter who is always
placing his name in unseemly places,
lettered the name Worley" in one
corner. That was advertising, and
though probably no more lucrative
than the name of Foster lesser
Portland" to advertise cigar brands on
sidewalks and house tops, which some
times lead to a boycott, instead OF a
boom, or of affixing the name of a
Sacramento firm to an advertising
drop-curtain in the theater, which,
while it can never advertise their work
at all on merit, at once reduces the
rating OF the theater to the second
class, or hall, grade. AS advertising,
however, the name Worley,"-at-
tached to the American fag-made
that silly exhibition of cheek viola
ton of law. with $500 penalty at
tached. The name, however, vanished
in the night time and the matter
seems closed. so far as public opinion
is concerned; but that fact did not
restrain the Republicans, who had
painted the Stars and Stripes as a
background for Roosevelt and Fair.
backs, from having the colors obliter-
ated, to silence any charge of using
the American flag for an illegitimate
purpose.

HORRORS OF THE DEADLY STRIFE
1t is now evident that the war spirit
in the East has reached the barbarous
stage. Flags of truce have been ig-
nored by both sides at Port Arthur.
The men OF both armies are venomous
in nature, and Gen. Stoessel has adj
vised the garrison to resist the invader
to the last drop of blood. When the
300 women engaged in hospital work
in Port Arthur were advised to leave
they replied that they would rather
face the possibility Of massacre than
abandon the call OF duty.

" Snaky' Food.

1t has not been infrequent that low
ers of that stalwart vegetable--cab-
baCc-has had the stomach turned by
reports of it having become the tempo
rary abode of slugs or snails, but it
remains for Tennessee to afford posi-
tive proof that it has been made, in
that State at least, the abiding place Of
has killed, although no larger than a
! thread in diameter, which attenuation
is made up in length sometimes Of
eighteen inches or more.
The first intimation OF the presence
of this dread occupant OF so widely
dff'used an article of diet, was from
Henry county, last month, when a
little boy died from use of the veg
etable in half an hour after it had
been eaten. Then to convince her
employers that death was not due to
cause, the negro cook ate of it and
died in less than an hour. An inves-
tigation developed the fact that u
small snake had been hid in the cab
bage and cooked with it.
a panic has stickcn the inhabitants
of the big Bend State" especially
when it was found that cabbage sup
posed to have been infested with the
venomous serpent had killed hogs,
which are believed to be immune to
to strychnine. 1t seems that the
the snake or worm is of all lengths
and colors, but of thread.like size
with fiat heads and sharp tails. Some
OF the colors assimilate so closely 10 the
cabbage that they are extremely diff.
cult to find, and as result of use Of
the vegetable has been entirely pro-
scribed in the State.
It will be remembered that, a few
years ago, cabbage in this Sta'e was
affected by large slug worm, called
by some the army worm, and its use
was very generally discontinued, but
so far as reported no casualties re-
suited from doubtless occasional con-
tact with the odious intruder.

MORE OF DOVES FoLLY.-Dowie
has now proclaimed himself to be an
apostle and has adopted rich robe
and inter, modelled after those worn
by the ancient Jewish high. priests.
His raiment i, said to be gorgeous
white satin embroidered with geomet-
ric figures in scarlet and gold, for his
robe, or ephod, and a girdle embroi-
dered with scarlet cross, edged with
gold, for girdle, and head-dress of
white silk inter, ornamented with
purple bands, and white hose and
white canvas shoes. His ideas of
apostolic fitness seem to be about as
much at variance as his conception Of
the role of Elijah. and his nature as
different from the followers of the
Meek and Lowly One, as Coxey's i'm
pulsive and arrogant pers onality diff.
fered from the confiding Moses, who
led the Jews through the wilderness.
The disciples of Jesus went barefooted
and bareheaded, instead of sporting
miters and wearing canvas shoes, then
no more in fashion than the consecra.
ton OF the cross as the token of re-
demption. 1t seems he has taken the
Jewish high priests dress described in
the 2Sth chapter of Exodus. for the
same reason doubtless that the pea.
cock wears fine feathers, display that
in no manner accords, however, with
prevailing traits of the Saviour's body

COUNTY TICKET.
The Game Is Made.

1t is reported that Wall street has
"chipped in" ten million dollars for
n Republican corruption fund. The
st. Louis Republic is authority for the
statement that William G. Rockefeller
has guaranteed that the fund shall be
that sum, augmented if necessary.
He is already down for a million, Pier
pont for a quarter million, the steel
trust for three.quarters of q million,
the sugar trust for similar sum, the
tobacco trust for half million, the
Taper trust for a quarter million, the
Pennsylvania Railway corporation for
half million, and others are falling
into line SO rapidly as to guaranty q
grand total of ten millions, which is
about double the sum raised for the
party four years ago.
1t seems that the nomination of a
"safe" man on the money issue by the
opposition has not created that conf
dence which it was hoped would fol-
low the selection OF man who de.
clared that the gold standard had been
irrevocably established" 1t seems
that the trusts want some assurance
that the same "fast-and.loose" policy
of President Roosevelt with regard to
trusts will be maintained, like the
prosecution Of the Northern Securities
combine under the Sherman anti.
trust law, for moral effect, and a modi.
fication OF the judgment of the highes,

It is quite probable, likewise, that
Judge Parker's declaration that the
common law could be employed Ia
curb the monopolistic tendency oil
combinations of wealth, has had the
effect of arousing fear that the i'm.
munities they have enjoyed will be
safer with the party that has afforded
opportunity for development OF multi.
millionaires, than in the hands of q
man whose judicial opinion is that we
already have law enough to deal with

WALLA WALLA STILL CAREFUL
1t seems that the lesson taught by the

for guarding against accidents from
