Mrs. Francis King, one of the pio-
neer women of Oregon and Washing
ton, died at the family home near
Friday Harbor, Saturday morning,
July %. Her maiden name was Sarah
Ann Lee. She was born in Cham
plain county, Ohio, in the year 1880.

crossed the plains in an OK wagon,
arriving at Portland, Or, in the fall
of the year 1852. She was married
there to Francis King, Mr.. and Mrs.

oftener called, was greatly beloved
by her children, and her children's
children, and much respected by her
friends and her neighbors. For the
last five years she had been in feeble
health, but without much pain or suf-
fcrihg. Her last sickness was very
short, and she passed away quietly,
almost as in sleep, The funeral

ed, took place Sunday afternoon.

The sublime platform recently con-

loose DOhIuS It'll ONtl rum Inc ASVNiSA7

marvel of compact quotations from an
cient and modern sages. As matter of
course, il makes liberal use of the de-
ceased Thomas Jefferson-as a party we
always use the deceased Thomas JEFF
ferson-but it goes farther and promises
to correct every known and consider
able number of unknown wrongs and out
RACES, wherever, whatsoever and how
ever they appear in the boundess uni
verse. 1t vows to pry into, investigate,
drag out and jack up the scandals and
breaches of public trust, which we all

of office. Gentlemen, l approve OF the
platform.

Liberty is-in short. liberty is something

Power a Menace.
Thomas jefferson said about all there
was worth saying about power, but
may add a few well-chosen words OF
warning. There is danger in the very air
of Washington-nay, in the air OF the
entire District of Columbia. l do not
fear it, and | may never have to breathe
1t, anyway, but, fellow citizens. | warn
you against the microbe of power which
infests the land watcred by the historic
Potomac. The power which seeks to
