WALLA WALLA LADIES HAD AN
AMUSING EXPERIENCE At
GOLDEN RULE STORE
Standing Between Handsomely Gown
Scrutinized and Talked About

An amusing little incident too good
to keep, occurred at the Golden Rule
Department store Saturday afternoon
When party of ladies out shopping
mistook one Of the clerks in the store
for a dummy. The clerk had paused
for a minute midway between two fe-
male figures used in displaying dress
goods, just as the shoppers came along.
The picture of the young man stand
ing motionless between the two hand
somely dressed dummies was charm
ing one and in order to view it better
the ladies drew closer.
The clerk stood the close scrutiny
and remarks for about half minute
and then. with burning cheeks and
choking with laughter slowly turned
around and walked away. ooh my I

and clerks of the store and a general

NOVEL COMPANY WISHES TO DO
BUSINESS IN THIS STATE
ON A NOVEL BASIS.
Combines the Education of Divinity
Students With Issuance of Life
Insurance Policies.

Religious instruction and life insur-
ance comprise a curious mixture of OBJ
jects and purposes of an association
which desires to do business in this
state, but which the attorney general
rules cannot do unless it complies with
the insurance regulations. The asso-
citation was formed in another state
One of it's objects is the instruction of
divinity students. To encourage con-
tributions it has evolved an insurance
scheme. All who take out policies
agree that One-third of the premiums
shall be devoted to the expenses of the
divinity school, and that one third of
the policy upon the death of the holder
shall also go to the school. The other
two thirds of the premium go into the
life insurance fund, and the two-thirds
Of the policy when it natures go to
the beneficiaries of the policy. The
prospectus offers to philanthropists an
opportunity to aid good cause and
at the same time provide for their
family in case of DEATH
This company apparently does not
wish to conform to the laws of the
state, which place insurance companies
department of the secretary of states
office. If deemed to be an outside
stock company, it must have paid-up
capital of 100000. If an assessment
life and accident company, it must
have an unimpaired reserve fund of
$4,000. If a fraternal insurance or
ganization it must comply with a fixed
schedule of premiums to be charged
Its members.
The attorney general rules that tine
new applicant for nonors in the insur-
ance world must comply with frater-
nal association regulations. To permit
it to avoi such supervision of the in
surance department, he says, would
reveal a way for other companies to
evade the safeguards placed by the
law upon insurance policies taken out
IN this state.

HARRY SCHONLEBER FACES A
TERM IN THE STATE PENI-
TERTIARY.
Jury After Being Out So Hours Reached
greement-Recommen Defend
ant to Mercy Of Court.

After. being out SO hours, the jury in
the case of Harry Schonleber, charged
with the murder of Dudley Gully, re-
recommending the defendant to the ex-
IRENE mercy of the court. Tired out
after their two days deliberations the
jurymen sent word to Judge Brents at
1880 o'clock Saturday night that YER
dict had been agreed upon. The OPP
posing attorneys in the case-were sum-
moned and SchOnleber was brought
into the court room.
A deathly silence ensued as the jury
men filed into the court room and the
verdict was handed to Clerk Hill to
read. Although the verdict was some
what of a shock to Schonleber, the
young man never WINGED and expressed
confidence that he would yet be cleared
of the charge. Attorney Cain gave no.
tice that he would ask for a new trial
and with Attorney George Thompson
the papers in the case are being pre-
pared. The motion will probably be
argued before Judge Brents tomorrow
morning.
Badly Divided. d.
For the first 16 hours the jurymen
were badly divided as to the guilt of
Schonleber. The vote stood eight for
acquittal and four for conviction on
charge of manslaughter. 1t was only
by agreeing to recommend the defend
ant to the extreme mercy of the court
that a verdict was finally reached.
Had Schonleber not told So many con-
Trajectory stories regarding his move
ments prior to and following the death
of Gully the probabilities are that a
verdict Of acquittal would have been
returned within few hours.
The SchOnleber case probably at
tracted more attention from the gen.
eral public than any other murder trial
ever held in Walla Walla. The cir
cumstances surrounding the case have
been so perplexing that public senti-
ment was divided as to the young
mans guilt. The fact that he told so
many different stories and acted so
queerly after the shooting told against
him when his case was finally placed
in the hands of the jury.
Ask for New Trial for Wong Hong.
|. Attorney Cain today gave notice that
he would ask for a new trial in the
case of Wong Hong Hee, convicted of
manslaughter last week. The motion
will probably be argued tomorrow
morning at the same time that Schon
leber's case comes up. Wong is recOv-
ering rapidly from the wounds he re-
ceived in the fight with Eng Chung.

RIIs' LOSS A SERIOUS ONE.
His Late Wife Was a True HeIpmee
in Every Way Possible

Mrs. Elizabeth Riis, wife of Jacob
A. Riis, the writer and lecturer on So
cial and civic problems, was a true
heavy loss to him.
Mrs. Riis was born in Ribe, Den
mark, SO years ago. She was married
to Jacob Riis there in 1875, he going
back to the city of his birth for the
wedding, after having been in Amer
lea for several years.
Mrs Riis was a woman of consider
able literary ability, and co-labored
with her husband in writing.
Mrs. Riis was Elizabeth Nielsen,
daughter of a well-to-do cotton man
ufacturer of Ribe, on the north Danish
coast. She met the man who was des-
tined to be 'the most useful citizen in
New York." when she was a girl of Is
wears. Miss Nielsen would not wed at
so early an age, and Jacob Riis sailed
for America.
Miss Nielsen became engaged to an
officer in the Danish amy, but he died
of consumption. In the meantime Mr..
Riis had become fairly successful in
New York city as reporter on one of
the dailies and the early romano was
renewed by letter.
In one of his principal works, Mr..
Riis paws tribute to his wife, He says:

were angels. Now, that I have been
married 10 years 1 know that they are.
Woman is mans guardian angel, truly
