CONC 70 Reeuperate.

We met with E. NJ. wraase, of Dia.
mond street, the other evening, who
was looking quite sad and detected
in spirit, which was so unusual for
him. Upon investigating the cause OF
his dependency, we learned that his
wife and children had left him, even
taking the nurse along with them,
having gone by train on the morning
of the third inst, to Hammond for
the Fourth, and TO remain for few
weeks with friends there. But won't
her hubby be glad when they return.
II he remains in the same mood dur.
ing her absence as when last seen by
US? 1t is hoped by her many friends.
however, that she may be able to re.
cnperate her health during the visit
taken. She is the same lady who,
with her Oldest son. suffered so serl-
ously from the gas explosion which
occurred a year ago last June, on vir-
ginia avenue.

100. Foot Fal.

According to residents along the
Walla Walla river thousands Of white
fish and trout are being killed in the
Northwestern Gas anu Electric COM
pany's new power flume. No provi-
sions have been made for screening
the intake at the Roberts ranch and
fish entering the fiume are swiftly car
ried down to the big reservoir, five
miles below. ~
A waste valve is provided for the
overflow and the rushing waters car
ry the fish to the river below a dis
tance of two hundred feet. The ter
rife plunge kills many of the fish and
farmer boys are reaping a rich har-
vest. 1t is understood that the COM
pany will provide a screen for the in
take in a short time to prevent the
ruthless slaughter Of the fish.

come a burden. The usual method OF
determination has been the use OF Il
Colts, but some members of the So
ciety >believe this method too barbar-
GUS.
Agent Adams thought of prussic
acid, that fatal drug a drop of which is
supposed to be sufficient to put quie-
tus upon a man. It was cyanide OF
potassium, a form Of prussic acid with
which Whitlake Wright, the convicted
English swindler made mis- dramatic
exit. Mr.. Adams decided on the prussic
acid method.
He was called upon to take dog
from Northeast Minneapolis. The an
imal was a paralytic and was annoying
q resident by crawling up on front
porch where 1t would lie in its help
less agony for hours. Mr.. Adams put
the dog in his carriage and drove to
the place Of execution, the acid in his
pocket. Mr.. AdsRsss tells the story
himself. .a
II gave that animal spoonful OF
It," he said, and he began to sit up
and take notice. I waited for him to
expire with terrible suddenness. He
didn't He wagged his tail and
seemed to want more. l poured an
other spoonful down his throat. AS
sure as l am alive that dog got up on
it's feet and licked my hand and looked
at me with piteous appeal, presumably
for more.
Il poured out another spoonful and
decided that if this didn't take effect
l would have to shoot it, But did L?
1 guess not. That paralytic animal
simply cavorted around and then ran
away from me.
Next morning the telephone at the
Humane society rang.
Something wonderful has hap
pened here said a terrified voice. The
ghost of that dog you shot yesterday
is sitting on my front step again..
Mr.. Adams made another trip and
this time took no chances mo more
prussic acid for the dogs" says Mr.
Adams. It's not fatal. It's an elixir
of life

REPUBLICAN CENTRAL COMMIT
TEE HAD STRENUOUS TIME
At MEETING TODAY.
Fioht on Dr.. Yaneey c. eIaioek 10
Called oH-WiIi Get Job at
Penitsntiary.

To settle the question who shall
be endorsed for the many jobs at the
penitentiary that are being eagerly
sought for by a horde Of republicans
in Walla Walla, the county central
committee is in session this afternoon
wrestling with the problem. So many
applicants are out for the positions
that the committee is having a siren
uous time in trying to satisfy the
crowd.
1t was reported today that the
fight that was being made on DR.. Y. c.
Blalock for physician has been called
off, and that DR.. J. c. Mack and DR.
c. P. Cannon have pulled out of the
race. If this is true DR.. Blalock will
receive the endorsement Of the COM
mittee.
J. C. Hillman seems to have the pull
on the endorsement for steward and
j. C. Jones, who has been employed as
master mechanic on the w. q y. n
is the choice of a majority of the COM
mittee for chief engineer.
1t is reported that there are fully
double the number of applicants for
the positions of guards than there are
berths to give out and that this fact
alone is causing the committee more
trouble than anything else.

the stage seriously, and in short time
the billboards will be flashing forth the
announcement that the former cham
pion will enact the part Of the melan-
choly Dane.
Hereafter Gentleman Jim" will not
be a pugilist actor. He will be an
actor pugilist.
Mr.. Corbett is an original gentleman.
He does not believe in doing things as
they are usually done. For example.
he graduated into the championship
from behind the wicket OF bank win
dow. Thespian fame has not been
usually attained through the prize ring.
but Mr.. Corbett modestly believes he Il
equal to the occasion.
The actor pugilist has not thought
out the details of his presentation Of
Hamlet. He is working out his crea-
ton now. However, he may be relied
upon to give an original conception OF
the character, which will make Booth
and Mansfield look to their laurels.
The former champion says he still
has his punch. He trains every sum-
mer and when Laertes gets gay in the
Corbett presentation Of Hamlet, that
gentlemen may be expected to get a
left hook to the jaw which will con-
vince him that fencing is an out-of-
date exercise and what he will do to
his royal father is liable to set his
Danish majecty back quite a ways.
Miss Inez Mccoy, who is playing the
star part in Corbett's play, Pals" is
the stars ideal of an actress and she
will play Ophelia when Corbett takes
to Shakespeare.
II was on the stage before l went
into the ring" said the former pugilist,
recently After my fight with Sulli-
van, I took up acting, but not seriously.
Since then people who are better
judges than 1, have thought I had it in
me, and next season I shall appear
under one of the leading managers in
the country in light comedy. This is
merely a stepping stone to my higher
ambition. l don't see why I can't put
on a good Hamlet. Some of those fell
lows believe Shakespeare is a back
number l have another bunch on the
subject, and 1 am going to put on a
new Hamlet that will make the wise
matte career 1 will have to creep up.
I did it in the ring and I can do it on
the stage You wait and see.'

CAVES ARE THE HOME OF VICE
Officials Cannot Deal With DweIIers
In Avrshire caverne

LONDON, Jan. "A cave QWeIIer
recently sent to prison in Ayrshire for
neglecting his children was a member
of a large colony who infest the sea
caves of the Ayrshire coast.
Nearly every cave-and the cliffs are
honeycombed with tnem-has it's recog-
nized occupants. Large caves accom-
modate families; some are so small
that they can harbor only a single
dweller.
The laws of civilization are not OBJ
served by the cave jewellers. They
| have sort of rude socialism, which
bids fair to degenerate into anarchy.
The conditions of life are pestilential,
| and the habits are degrading.
If the cave jewellers see something
that they want they take it-and they
! are blessed with sharp eyesight. They
| laugh at the police.
I'VE try to turn them out" said a
police officer of the district, but the
! attempt is hopeless.
Return to Homes.
Il enter their caves periodically and
turn them out neck and crop, but as
soon as my back is turned they return
to the caves. I burn all their straw
sacks and bedding. and all their other
paraphernalia, but such things are
easily replaced.
Il do not relish the job. The caves
are filthy and verminous.
The people go to Ayr or Maybole,
| and carry back immense quantities of
| drink.
1.-The results are dreadful. Men,
women and children herd together in
a drunken stupor, and no tribe Of saw
ages could behave worse.
| THE potato pits in the district are
robbed to the despair of the farmers
who own them, and the many beautiful
species Of ferns for which Ayrshire is
so famous will. fear, shortly become
extinct, owing to these people using
most of them for bedding and selling
the finer specimens for drink"

are several gangs employed on the

struction-herd with the cave dwellers
and they supply the bulk Of the drink
Will Visit Colony.
There are many visitors to the cave
colony, for the lawlessness and license
of the place appeal strongly to the
dissolute of the neighborhood. The
cobblers of Maybole regard the col
ony as a paradise on earth. One OF
them speaks with glowing enthusiast n
of an orgy at the caves.
TT was worked on the cooperativ.
system. A lot of us went down to tn.
caves. Some brought whiskey and ont
brought barrel of beer with him il
cart. We had a blazing fire, and a!
there was no chimney the cave wa
so full of smoke that you could no
see your neighbours face. I shall no

These cave jewellers terroriZe tn,

GIRLS ARE HARD TO MANAGE.

Because of the prominent part girls

girls there are track teams, crews, and
in some few instances baseball teams.
The athletic girl claims, in games re-

where strength of arms and limbs is
not essential, to be equal in every re-
Spect to her brother.
The question has been given serious
thought by many athletic instructors,
and the consensus of opinion is that

Girls Are Hard to Manage.
Girls are much harder to manage

tention to coaching instructions and
when they have once learned the rudi-
ments of a game it is difficult matter
to impress upon them the value and
absolute necessity of team work.
In teaching basket ball have found
that girls wish to play the game fol-

forced to go slow and learn team plays
step by step they will give little at
