Captain II. Lacy, editor OF the West

Lacy was born in Hannibal i'm 1899, and
was playmate and later a fellow printer
of Samuel Clemens. though a few years
younger. Like most of Marx vans
early chums Captain Lacy never saw the
slightest indication OF coming greatness in
his friend
''The worst trouble about sam when he
was boy said Captain Lacy, was his
laziness. He was a dreadful shirker.
When the war came on and everybody
was taking sides he Joined Major Thomas

The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1905-03-27

WASHINGTON, March 27.-The or
ganization of the Isthmian canal COM
mission, which was delayed until after
the senate adjourned, to prevent any
interference with the presidents
plans, certainly will be enacted be-
fore Mr.. Roosevelt leaves for the
south, April 8, and the shake-up will
probably come within a week.
The president is determined to make
short work of the whole business, to
prove that he is in earnest, and he
will cali for all of the designations in
a body. He is not inclined to apply
any salve to the feelings of the COM
missioners, with whom, as body, he is
thoroughly disguised.
AS matters now stand, it is said to
be Mr.. Roosevelt's plan to make a
clean sweep, removing all of the pres
ent commissioners and appointing an
entirely new board of three members,
leaving the four other places vacant.
The new commissioners will not be
figureheads, however. They will have
plenty of important work to do and will
be given much responsibility, but their
authority will be restricted within
clearly defined limits and they will be
subordinate to Mr.. Wallace.

MRS. KANE WILL FIGHT Mr., MIL
LER TO THE BITTER END
SHE SAYS.
Files Bonds of 5000 to Guarantee Costs
of AppeaI-MiIIer and Children
Left Saturday Night.

G. n. Miller, who was awarded GUS
tody of his two sons, Clarence and
Ferdie Miller, will not remain undis-
turbed in his possession of the two
children, Mrs. Kane, his former wife,
this morning through Sharpstein &
Sharpstein, filing notice with County
Clerk Hill that the decision of Judge
Brents will be appealed to the SUI
preme court. That Mrs. Kane will
carry the fight to the bitter end is
evidenced by the fact that she has al
ready filed a bond in the sum of 5000
guaranteeing all costs and damages
that might be awarded against her in
her appeal case.
Mr. and Mrs. Miller left Walla Wal
la with the boys Saturday night. Mr..
Miller is engaged on a contract at
Lewiston and whether his destination
was that city or Seattle could not be
ascertained. Mr.. and Mrs. Kane are
still in Walla Walla.

TAMA REDS HAVE A MYSTERY,
Drag River for Chiefs Granddaughter
Who Is Probably Murdered.

MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa, March 81.
believing that the granddaughter of
their chief has been murdered and her
body thrown into the Iowa river, the
Musquakie Indians on the reservation
at Tama, twenty miles east of here
are holding great council and have
begun dragging the river.
The missing Indian girl is Ma-Puck-
Chez, aged II and she disappeared
twenty days ago. At first it was sup
posed she had gone with some trapping
parties but when they returned with
out her, the whole tribe became ex-
cited. Chief Push-Ton Que, is aiding
in the search.
There have been several mysterious
murders on the reservation in the past
a young man, who was seized by his
rival while holding a tryst with an In
dian maiden. The young buck was
scapled and his body staked down in
the shallow water of the river, on the
banks of which the girl ana her lover
had met in the moonlight. The girl
witnessed the murder, but kept the aw-
full secret for weeks. Finally the body
was discovered, and the girl told her
story.
On another occasion one of the wo-
men of the tribe was found murdered
just outside the reservation. Her muir
derer was never discovered. 1t is be-

for her affections, she having but re-

MR.. AND MRS. r. B. CASWELL
AND MR.. AND MRS. STAT
TER HOME,
Visited in Many Eastern Cities-ln-
auguraI Procession Was Imposing
Large Crowds Present.

Mr.. and Mrs. r. B. Caswell accom-
panied by A. F. Slater, secretary to
Senator Levi Ankeny, and Mrs. Slater,
returned to Walla Walla this morning
ern cities. The party left New York
last Tuesday making the western trip
over the Union Pacific.
Mr.. and Mrs. CasweIl left Walla
Walla in time to witness the Inaugural
ton of President Roosevelt at Wash
ington ON March 4. In company with
Secretary and Mrs. Slater and Sena-
tor and Mrs. Ankeny they had an ex-
cellent view of the inaugural process
sion and ceremonies from Senator An
kenys office in the senate annex.
Such a gorgeous pageant as the in
augural procession was probably never
witnessed before in the world Mr..
Caswell said this morning. "Our
party watched the procession from l
o'clock in the afternoon until in the
evening. To describe the various fea-
lures of the procession is impossible
it was so large and grand in detail.
"Over 200 bands from various parts
of the United States were in line.
The military parade was gorgeous,
thousands of infantry and cavalry TAX
ing part. 1t is doubtful if a more i'm
posing spectacle was ever witnessed in
the United States or even in the old
world. 1t was estimated that million
visitors were in Washington to wit
ness the inauguration"
Mr.. and Mrs. Caswell spent several
days in Washington. They visited in
New York a week and spent ten days
at Mr.. Caswelrs old home at Smith
Falls, Ontario which Mr.. Caswell has
not visited for Is years.

HYPNOTIZED ScHOOLMATES.
Thorne Mason of Everett Possesses
Peculiar Powers.

EVERETT, March 27-Thorne Ma
son, aged Is, an eighth grade pupil of
the Garfield school in this city, has
created a sensation by exercising hyp-
motto influence over five younger pu-
would do his bidding and went through
ridiculous performances. The younger
children said they were unable to re-
sist the influence of Mason.
Mason has been conducting his oper-
atoms for some time and had a class
of four or five younger pupils under
his control. favorite stunt was to
have them gather strawberries on the
school ground Under these instruc-
tons the boys industriously gathered
all the chips they could find. At other
times they formed an orchestra, play
ing upon wooden sticks for flutes.
Principal Sherwood heard of the
matter during the week, and at first
paid little attention, believing it was
hoax the boys were perpetrating. But
he saw one performance and that con-
WINGED MIN it was genuine.
When he asked the subjects why
they did what they did, they explained
that they couldn't help it.
Young Mason said that there were
about five boys in the school he could
control in that manner.
Mr.. Sherwood told Mason that he
thought parents might object and sug-
gested that the boys omit their per-
formances in the future. Mason
thought so, too, and since then there
have been no hypnotic performances.
However, complaint was made by
a mother that her boy had been chased
by a hypnotized boy. The principal
investigated, and says that he is con-
WINGED that young Mason did not DO
the work, but that mis- elder brother
NAV have been responsible.

BeIated, But Good Story.

This belated but authentic story of
worth preserving. The day after the
Inauguration, Sunday, a particularly
gracious Washington hostess was seat
ed in her drawing room in the after
noon, expecting that callers would
come as usual for tea. Without any
warning a party of a dozen or SO, all
absolute strangers, were shown in.
Not having sent out any cards for the
day. and feeling that there must be
some mistake, the nonpulsed Washing
tonian endeavored to rise to the occa-
sion with due courtesy until the mis-
take should appear. But one of the
visitors promptly put an end to all the
mystification by casually announcing,
while looking around, that they were
from New York, come down for the
inauguration" and had dropped in
just because they thought they'd like
to see how people lived in Washing
ton" Overcoming her establishment,
the involuntary hostess tactfully and
somewhat mischeviously replied that
they were really very enterprising,
indeed, but that unfortunately she was
not official, and didn't count, and that
what they ought to do, say, was to
call at Secretary Hays house or at
Senator Depew's." There was a mo-
ment's hesitation, and then another of
the party quite naively replied, Yes,
we tried that but they put us out"
