COUNTY is NOT FOR SALE
w. J. Henry Declares That Mcbride
Forces Will Control.

the republican county central commit
| tee of Skagit county to a reporter of
the Seattle Times. The report to that
effect recently put in circulation in Sc

l was in conference with Senator Ham
WINGED from his words and his attitude
| at that time that he is as loyal to the
governor as he has always been.
The circulation of the story only il
Illustrates the methods of the lobby
wOrke. >. While We have heard the
story in our own county We paid no
attention TO it and il was of no force
and effect where the senator is known
1t was evidently manufactured for the
effect it would have in other portions
of the state, where the senator is less
favorably known. But he story is east
ly exploded. Senator Hammer is one
OF the most loyal Mcbride men in the
state, ana there is no fear in my mind
that he Will not continue TO be.
Mcbride In Control.
The claim of the lobby leaders that
they will carry Skagit county against
the governor at the coming county con-
vention is another of their fabrications,
which is without even the semblance
Of foundation. The Mcbride. wing of
the party has control of the party or
ganization, and the party machinery,
and still maintains its very strong
hold upon the support of a vast ma
jority of the republican voters. All of
men, and all Of them. with the excep-
ton of the county treasurer, are can
dida tes for reelection. From the re-
ports I have read in outside papers l
gather the impression that the lobby !
leaders base their hopes of controlling |
the county on the use of money in the
campaign. but l am positive that they
cannot buy away the allegiance of the
county to Governor Mcbride.
Railroads Support Hurd.
The railroad leaders are endeaVor-
ing to center their followers i'll the
county around the support of NJ. j.
Hurd, rs Il candidate for attorney
general. | understand that they have
recently told Hurd that if they fail to
land him in the office of attorney gen
eral they will give him the appointment
of local attorney for the Great North
err, a place which is now held bv F.. G.
Million. That appointment carries a ,
salary as large or larger than that of
attorney general. and is in the power of
the Great Northern people to deliver.

ARCHBISHOP SPEAKS.
Primate of England Addresses the
Episcopal Convention.

Boston, Oct. 6.-When the house of
deputies of the Episcopal church as
sembled today there was a large at
tendance of visitors in anticipation of
the presence of the Archbishop of
Canterbury, who yesterday announced
that he would deliver a message to the
American church. The convention
has appointed a committee to frame a
message of greeting to the interna-
uonal peace conference, some of VIII ose
delegates are also delegates in the
church convention. One of these is
Robert Treat Payne, president of the
peace meeting.
The triennial conference of . the
women's auxiliary to the board of mis-
sions was formally opened today.
Later the wOmen'S auxiliary held
fremont temple. Among the speak
ers We're Bishops McKim of Toxic,
Brent of the Philippine Islands, and
Bishop Johnson of western Texas.
The house of bishops continued its
sessions behind closed doors.
In the house of deputies Cameron
Buxton, lay deputy from Winston,
n. c., attempted to introduce a reso-
luton criticising Bishop Potter of New
York for participating in the opening
of the Subway tavern in New York
city, but he was interrupted by
point of order, which was sustained,
that the house of deputies could not
criticise a member of the house of
bishops.
At noon the house of bishops ad-
journed and escorted the Archbishop
of Canterbury into the chamber of the
house of deputies, where the arch
bishop addressed the combined bodies.
The archbishop said in part:
Il come to tell you of the absorbing
interest with which we in England
watch your gathering strength your
constantly increasing use of the ap-
parently boundless opportunities
which are multiplying daily to your
hands and of our fellowship in your
prayers for the spirit of wisdom and
strength. Your problems are not all
of them our problems. Anyhow this
at least is certain. that beneath them
all we find an underlying element
which is absolutely common to US
both. Among them is the temptation
common to ecclesiastics, lay and cler-
ical, in every cline and in every CEN
tury, the temptation to give means
our thoughts. the temptation to lose
the true proportion between large
matters and small, the temptation to
take a petty view of what life's issues
really are.
"It semes to me the paramount
necessity of all which concerns the
family and the home, the common
work day life, that is, of the Chris
tian people at large. 1t would be vain
TO ignore the warning voices which tell
us-on either side of the sea-of a
certain decadence in the definitely reli-
gious life of the ordinary home-a
falling off, that is in the very force
which gave its distinctive inspiration
and it's distinctive power to SO much
of our grandSire's life. If that be
true it surely behooves every. gathering
of churchmen to consider well what
they can do to safeguard the men and
women and above all, the children of
America and of England from peril
whose gravity it is impossible to over
estimate. because it affects the very
foundation of our Christian life

pers, abusing this paper, -maligning
those connected with it, impugning its
motives and attributing to it and the
people who conduct the paper all kinds
of vicious motives. There is so much of
this published that an impression seems
to have gotten into the minds of some
people and some newspapers that there
is a newspaper quarrel going on IN To-
peka. Those who think there is a quar-
rel on do not apparently notice that
the quarreling and rancor is merely on
one side of the fence; that to recent
and very many columns and columns
of charges the State Journal has said
not a word in reply.
So long as this paper knows that it
is right it is a matter of indifference
to il that certain contemporaries are
ugly in their abuse, when they should
be diligent, in defending the state
school fund commissioners in the Co
manche county bond transaction
These papers talk as if we bought these
tainted bonds, in a disreputable tran
saction, for the sacred school fund!

SKELETON UNEARTHED.
Excavating at 1912 Kansas Avenue
Reveals Human Remains.

Workmen excavating for a founda-
ton for a store building on Kansas
avenue between Tenth and Eleventh
streets today exhumed the bones. and
almost the entire skeleton of a man
supposed to have been buried at least
forty years ago.
A trench just trif1e over a foot
wide is being dug for the foundation
of a two story brick store building
which Thomas p. Newall is starting to
build at No. 1912 Kansas avenue.
At a depth of about five feet the
workmen struck what appeared to be
a board in the ground. Prodding fur
ther with his narrow spade he struck
something which was hard and stopped
the progress of the spade. 1t gave
off a sharp metallic sound and upon
further investigation the wood proved
to be a portion of a coffin and the
hard substance nothing less than the
bones of some person who was buried
probably not less than forty years ago.
The casket lay crosswise of the
trench and the portion of the casket
which was exposed by the excavation
contained the lower limbs of the skel-
eton.

FOUGHT NIGHT AND DAY.
Gen. StoesseI's Official Report on OPP
erations at Port Arthur.


st. Petersburg, Oct. 5.-6 30 D. M
Emperor Nicholas has at last received
General StoeSSelS official report of the
desperate four days assault of the be-
SiegerS upon Port Arthur from Sep
tember 19 to September %, from
which it appears that the unofficial
report from Chefoo was by no means
exaggerated. The japanese displayed
frenzied bravery, but they lost TO-
900 men and their only success was
the capture of two redoubts guarding
the waterworks. They prepared for
the assault by a general lombard
ment and then launched their attacks
simultaneously from the north and
west. Night and day they fought un-
der cover of a continual bonn bard
ment from their siege guns and finally
reached the redoubts on the north side.
but only after the defenses there were
completely demolished by shell fire
from the west.
The Japanese efforts were directed
chiefly against the commanding posi-
ton on High mountain which faces
Pigeon bay, slightly south of Fort Etz.
The mountain is 500 feet high and
if it had fallen its possession would
have given the japanese tremendous
lever against the chain of inner de-
fenses. The carnage there was terri
BILE and eliminated September %,
when the Japanese succeeded in reach
ing and occupying the Russian ar
mOred shelter trenches whence theY
expected about the next day to storm
the summit During the night Lieu
tenant Poggersky of the navy, at the
head of a detachment of volunteers
descended upon the trenches and
blew them up with pyroxlin bombs
producing a panic among the besieg-
ers. who fed, leaving the mountain
side strewn with dead. The japanese
then abandoned further attempts but
after a day or two to recuperate ac-
cording to General StoessePs second
dispatch, dated Septem ber 80, they re-
sumed the bonn mbardment of the city
and outer works and began to con-
struct zigzag approaches, evidently
getting nearer from which to launch
their next assault. The loss of the
waterworks is not considered vital as
there is a fresh water lake and nu-
merous wells. as well as a condensing
apparatus within the defenses

kondratenko. Lieutenant Poggerosky,
Colonel Irman, of the sartiller-y. and

regiment, for the st. Georges cross
The complete character of the repulse
of the Japanese has evidently greatly
inspired the garrison of Port Arthur
General Stoessel saySNthe gallantry of
the Russian troops was beyond praise
and adds that the garrison will hold
out to the last drop of blood.

took out the bones of the feet and
lower limbs
A reporter for the State Journal took
a spade and digging out a portion of
the clay underneath the south wall of
the hole succeeded in bringing to light
one of the thigh bones and the bones
of the forearm, together with several
of the ribs.
Workmen are this afternoon digging
away the earth farther south in order
to secure the remainder of the body
and the skull.
The coffin was practically decayed al
though the wood was not so far de-
composed that it was impossible to see
the shape of the box From the ap-
pearance of the decayed wood it was
thought to have been walnut.
About 20 feet from this coffin the
workmen this afternoon discovered the
corner of another coffin.
1t is reported that about 40 years ago
the vacant lots at this point were moth
ing but prairie, and that it was used
as the burying ground of the pioneers
who settled at Topeka in the SOS.
1t has not been decided what will be
done with the bones which will be
brought to the light of day after being
so long buried.
1t is not known today whether the
bodies buried on these lots were once
the friends and relatives of any of the
old pioneers who are still living in To-
peka or not.
Further developments will be awaited
with interest.
