The STATE CONVENTION
A Fun Ticket Nominated and the
RaIIfoad Question Not Mem
toned in the
Platform

We have only time and space at this
late hour to give the names of the can
didates nominated by the republican
convention at Tacoma last Wednesday.
The platform adopted is significantly
silent on the railroad commission ques-
ton.
Our own John D. Atkinson, to whom
Chelan county stuck to from first to
last was defeated for the nomination for
governor. The fight between King and
Pierce counties for United States Sen
ator no doubl had most to do with his
defeat. The fact that he was nominat-
ed for attorney general only slightly
modifies the sting OF defeat. Chelan
county was out for governor.
For Superior Court Judge to succeed
G. Victor Martin, John D. Dill was
nominated for the short term and M.
B. Malloy, the U. S. Register, of the
land Office at Waterville, for the long
term Following is the state ticket in
full:
For Congress-Will L. Humphrey OF
King, Wesley L. Jones OF Yakima,
Francis W. Cushman of Pierce.
For governor-Albert Z. Mead OF
Whatcom.
For lieutenant governor Charles E.
Coon of Jefferson.
For secretary of state-Sam Fl. Mich
OILS Of Snohomish.
For state treasurer-George G. Mills
OF Thurston.
For state auditor-C. w. Clauson Of
Kitsap.
For attorney general-Jchn D. AT
kinson of Chelan.
For land commissioper-E. W. Ross
of Cowlitz.
For superintendent of instruction
r. B. Brown of Chehalis.
For justices of the supreme court
Mark A. Fullerton Of Whitman and F.
H. Rudkin of Yakima.

An Odd Find

This week the workmen who are ex-
cavating for the basement OF John
Bjork's building on Front Street come
onto about two dozen bottles of beer,
some six or seven feet under the
ground. The bottles have the name OF
the manufacturer, Boy View Brewing
Co., Seattle, blown In the glass; and rs
there is no such product on the market,
nor has there been for five or six years,
the conclusion was reached that it had
been buried there for sometime. An
inquiry revealed the fact that where
the beer was found had stood saloon
which was burned down in the first big
fire which Leavenworth had, which &C.
CURED on Thanksgiving day in 1896.
The beer was no doubt stored in the
cellar and in some way escaped destruc-
ton. Around where it was found the
earth was mixed with charred pieces OF
wood. After the fire the cellar was no
doubt filed up with earth, and later on
other buildings were erected on the
same site, only to be destroyed again by
fire on the morning of the 9th day OF
January of this year. Now the ground
is to be covered for the third time in
eight years. This time, however, it
will be by a substantial brick building.

Assessor Chas. E. Buttles has spent
the larger part of the last two weeks in
our town and vicinity taking an inven-
tory OF the property OF our citizens for
assessment purposes.
On Monday last Doctor Hoxsey was
called to Wellington to attend F. L.
johnson, who was threatened with lock
jaw from the effects of nail piercing
his foot. He is improving and is believ-
ed to be out of danger.
H. e. Carr has moved his family out
on his ranch west of the MILL, where he
will pursue agricultural occupations for
pastime and add a practical know
ledge of farming, gardening and fruit
growing to his accomplishments.
The pile driver has been anchored in
the Wenatchee river about half mile
above the mill for the past week driving
piles for the mill company's log boom.
You can hear the puff of the engine
and see the smoke almost anytime you
look up that way.
On Saturday evening last two of the
five boilers in the power house at the
Lamb-D Davis mill were fired up for a
trial run. For half an hour the ma
chinery was kept going and everything
worked as smooth and as satisfactory
as was expected. 1t will not be long
now before the two double edged band
saws will be going and converting logs
into lumber.
John Bjork has begun excavating on
his lots on Front street preparatory to
putting up brick building this sum-
mer. If none of his calculations mis-
carry he will erect two story brick 90
feet front and 80 feet deep with base
ment. He recently purchased from the
Lamb-Davis Co. the two fractions of
lots Immediately in the rear of his
property. The ground floor OF his
building will likely be divided into
three store rooms and and the upper
portion into sleeping rooms. The front
portion of the basement may also be ar
ranged for a barber shop, bowling alley
| or some such use.

MATT Green -iHeard From

1t will be remembered that in Febru-
rry last Matt Green, Of Mission was
reported to have been killed near Ques-
nell, B. c., but no particulars- of his
death were obtainable The people of
Mission seem to have taken the report
as correct, and no efforts we're made to
ascertain the particulars Claude Clark,
who has charge of Mr.. Green's ranch,
stirred upquite a bitof excitement in
Mission on Monday by announcing that
he had just received {" telegram from
Mr.. Gre n, at Quesnell, asking for
money. The matter was pretty gener-
ally discussed by the people, and some
seemed to think that possibly some one
at Quesnell was doing little scheming
to get hold of little money through a
knowledge of Mr. Green's affairs. In
stead of forwarding money as requested
H. L. Weymouth was sent to Quesnell
to investigate the matter, and he left
for that place on Monday night.-We-
natchee Advance.
Mr. Green is the owner OF a large
fruit ranch near Mission and had not
been heard from for some time. From
later reports it appears he received an
injury of some kind up in British Col
umbia which affected his mind and for
some time he was confined in an asy-
lum. He has returned to Mission.

BESSIE C. DAVISS DEATH.
General Belief That the Young woman
Committed Suicide IN the Surf.

BosroN, Sept. 27.-Early yesterday morn
ing the body Of Miss Bessie c. Davis a
Beverley Farms governess, who disap-
peared on Sunday night, WAS found in the
surf at that place, and how she came to
her death has not been explained clearly.
Three theories are advanced in the case:
murder, suicide and accidental drowning.
The murder theory hinges on two deep
wounds which were found in the head
although both the police and the medical
examiner say that they might have been
caused by coming in contact with the sharp
rocks which abound near where the body
was found, as we'll as by blow Of sharp
instrument.
The suicide theory is supported by the
fact that the girl had not been in the best
OF health, despite her appearance, and
because her hat and gioves appeared TO
have been placed carefully on the rock,
where they were found. Popular belief
seems to sustain the suicide theory.
Otis ". Davis thinks that his daughter
met death by accidental drowning or by
suicide. He does not place much conf
dence in the murder theory. When the
body was found stone was tightly clenched
in one hand. which led to the belief that
Miss Davis had used it to defend her
self from an assailant. She was 70 years

UNION IRON WORKS FUTURE.
schwab Says He Intends to Make 1t Our
Greatest Shipyard.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. T.-After the
purchase Of the Union Iron Works yester-
day, Charles NJ. Schwab refused to give any
information in regard to his plans and the
result was thatreports were afioat that the
works would be shut down and that no
more battieships would be built here. To-
day Mr.. Sohwab talked briefly about his
plans and said positively that the new
shipyard trust not only did not intend to
close down the iron works, but expected
to enlarge the works and make them the
greatest in this country II not in the world.
Mr.. Schwab said:
1Of course, nothing can be said Of the
details yet, as these can only be told after
reorganization, but there isn't the slightest
intention of abandoning the Union Iron
Works. On the contrary, we intend to
enlarge the plant and make it the largest
in the United States. IL not in the world.
Further than this am not in position to
say"
About 1000 men are now employed at
the Union Iron Works and several new
cruisers are building there for the Gov
eminent The shipyard was built up by
Irving NJ. Scott, who took the greatest
pride in the battleshp Oregon, which he
constructed and which made the run from
this city to Hampton Roads without need
ing repairs.

This statement from the chairman OF
the committee may have a depressing
effect upon the organization OF Democratic
clubs in this State. for IN every county and

tributions from the candidates for whom
they are named. This afternoon Col.
McGraw and several State leaders were in
