The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1905-04-21

Having failed to be reelected to the United
States senate, ex-senator Addison g. Foster,
who for so many years was at the head of the
Tacoma & st. Paul Lumber Co., has decided
to move to California and has already con-
nected himself with a lumber company in
Los Angeles. Mr.. Foster, after years of close
business application, suddenly got the polit-
ical bee in his bonnet and by fuke was
elected to the T. S. senate. He had had no
political experience and knew nothing OF the
game, hence he petered out as suddenly as
he fuked in In the meantime he had lost
grasp on the business with which he had been
The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1905-04-21

Whether the state shall or shall not buy
the Port Townsend water bonds is the ques-
ton of the hour and the question that seems
to be causing no small amount of trouble be-
tween the state house officials at present.
Judging from the daily papers there is some
slight difference between the state house off
cias as to the real worth of the bonds which
has kicked up quite bit Of muss. The Pie
maker, however, does not believe for single
minute there is tenth part of the rupture
that the Democratic organs would have us be-
lieve exists among the Republicans The
Times itself, while pretending in its news col
umns to be taking the side Of the bond folk,
has daily trimmed in it's editorial columns, evi-

that it will be able to say whichever way it
goes, 81 told you so' The matter has been
taken to the courts and neither the daily
papers nor the citizens should try the case on
the street corners nor in the columns of the
various papers, but let the courts decide.

Senator Levi Ankeny or the election of ID. b.
Crocker, and the one would be just as ac
ceptable to him as the other. The Pie-maker
is Of the opinion that Senator Heinrich was
only expressing his personal wishes in want
ing Mr. Neufelder to become an active can
didate for the mayoralty nomination, and by
no means the wishes Of Neufelder himself
The latter is at present out of the city, tour
ing Europe, and will not return before sum-
mer, hence nothing definite from him can be
heard on the subject, but it is safe to bet he
will brush the mayoralty idea from his mind
at one fell swoop
While it must be admitted that under or
dinary circumstances for Republican nomi-
nee for mayor of Seattle the nomination is
equal to an election, yet there is quite bit
of dissatisfaction even among Republicans
on account Of the extravaganza OF the pres
ent municipal administration, and the Pie
maker is not too sure but that, II a rehable
plain, plodding Democrat is nominated he
will make it awfully interesting for the Re-
publican nominee next spring. There seems
to be no doubt but that the Democrats have
unanimously decided to give their nomina-
ton for mayor to ex-Sheriff Cudihee, il he
will accept it (and he wil), and when he is
nomination he will put up great scrap. Cudi-
hee's popularity with the masses cannot be
doubted for minute, as he thoroughly de-
monstrated that by twice beating two of
King county most popular Republican pol
iticians for the office of sheriff. In discuss
ing the nomination of Cudihee for mayor
with number Of leading Democrats they
were all quite of the opinion that he could
have the nomination for the asking, and they

game, a foregone conclusion That he will
not make the fight for mayor seems equally
true. He does not want to be mayor, but he
does want to go to the state senate for II he

to cast vote for either the reelection of

POLITICAL POT=PIE

The roster of active and reticent candidates
for mayor, published in last weeks Seattle
Republican, has been widely discussed by
the politicians for the past week and it is the
consensus of opinion that, one or the other
of the men mentioned in that connection,
will be the nominee, although one gentleman
was of the opinion none of them would have
even look-in when convention day rolled
around The Pe-Maker, however, believes
he is safe in predicting that If Cole becomes
an active candidate the city hall politicians
will back Frank p Mullen as his opponent
in which case battle royal will be the re
suit Mullen is not an avoWed candidate for
the Job unless his friends urge him, but he
and his friends will make an active and red
hot scrap to defeat Cole. 1t is rather re-
markable the number Of men, who it was
thought were against Mullen that are out
openly declaring that if he were mayor, IN
their opinions he would make most excel
lent one Mullen is truly man OF the people
and if he were mayor the poor man could
approach him on matter of business the
same as the rich man. In other words, the
TACT that ne was mayor oI OedbCle WollU
have no more effect him than being
councilman at-large. He would be the same
Frank Mullen that he has always been and,
as some one has said, "a diamond In the
rough"
1t is reported on good authority that State
Senator Andrew Heinrich has decided to
back E. c. Neufelder for the nomination OF
MAYOR. That Senator Heinrich has
strong following in the city there is not the
slightest bit of doubt and if he and his fol
lowers decide to make fight for Neufelder
and he (Neufelder) decides to help. them
make the fight, the next city convention,
when it will have assembled will know that
they are there. Rumor has it, however, that
Neufelder desires to 60 to the state senate
to succeed Senator Ed Palmer, whose term
of office will have expired at that time That
Mr.. Neufelder will make the fight for state

were not too sure but that it would be given
to him whether he previously signified his
willingness to take it or not. Il have read
with much care your forecast of the Repub-
lican candidates for that office, but have no
hesitancy in saying that if Cudihee is ever
pitted against either one Of them under the
circumstance that will attend the campaign
next year he will beat the Republican nomi-
nee nearly 1000 votes. Cudihee has no pol
icy but right and Democrats and Republicans
all thoroughly understand that, and for that
reason he would win the fight in a walk, - said
a well known apparently stalwart Republican.

ODESSA A GREAT CITY
In Commerce and Industry Place Of the First
importance

The population Of Odessa IL 460. 900.
and the foreign Inhabitants probably
number 10000. The first inhabitants
Of the place were Greeks, Italians and
Albanians. It was but q small hamlet
in the fifteenth century. when the
Turks constructed q fortress, which
was taken by the Russians in 1883.
Four years later they fortified the
place, and in 1894 1t was given its
present name. from Greek settlement
called Odessus, or Odysseus. which
was believed to have existed there in
ancient times. Tho sctual beginning
Of the city's prosperity dates from
1917, when 1t was declared free port.
and this decree was continued in force
until 1859.
A remarkable thing about Odessa
is that many of its houses appear to
be in ruins. This arises from the fact
that they have been built Of = shelly
sandstone that readily decomposes in
the open air. The quality Of this
stone accounts for the disappearance
of various old Greek towns along the
Black sea coast, now traced only by
heaps of rubbish.

For Plain Attire.

The best thing that was said in any
pulpit in the United States yesterday
was uttered by parson in Des Moines,
Iowa. Rev. DR.. Mcconnell declared
that the decadence of church-going was
because ttendants-especially at Pro
testant churches-wore the most ex-
pensive clothes they possessed. This
had the effect of keeping away the
poor, plainly attired people. In maxi
ing the usual announcements for future
services this long-headed parson said:
please note that all people attending
services here are requested to wear
plain and inexpensive clothing in or
der that no one, however humble, may
be embarrassed" This man Is on the
right track. Dress is the barrier be-
tween church attendance and the
poorer classes. OF course, 1t is not ex-
pected that a man will go to the house
OF worship in his overalls. 1t is to be
hoped he wouldn't sit down to dinner
in such garb-certainly not If he loves
and respects his wife, who cooks the
meal.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Odessa, which apparently is receiv-
Ing its second baptism Of fre and
sword. had its first dreadful experience
In this respect when in 1854, at the
time Of the Crimean war, 1t was bonn
barded by the Anglo-French feet. The

devastation then inflicted, and now It
Is the most important city in southern
Russia. It Is the capital Of the govern
ment Of Kherson. and stands on an
elevation sloping to the Black sea. Al
most directly south. in straight line,
lies Constantinople. 1916 miles away.
To Moscow Is $40 miles, to Warsaw
500 miles and to Vienna. almost direct
ly west, 700 miles. 1t is 100 miles
southeast of Kischineff, the scene of
the terrible Jewish massacres in 1908.
In a general sense Odessa has a
more European aspect than any other
Russian city. but this is accounted
for by the fact that it was practically
built up during the nineteenth century.
1t Is regularly laid out around the bay.
and has a number of streets and
squares from which magnificent view
OF the Black sea is obtained.
It is noted for its salubrity, the
mean temperature being about 80
Fahrenheit. ranging from 10 in mid
July to 26 in January. Its environs.
too, are unusually picturesque and con-
tain many seashore resorts. In the
immediate vicinity are three salt
water lakes that are much frequented
by invalids.
Odessa boasts Of many fine build
ings. both commercial and ecclesiasti-
cal. There are twenty-five orthodox
churches, q number Of monasteries
and synagogues and few Protestant
edifices. The municipal library con-
tains about 100000 volumes, and the
exchange. the theater, the governors
palace and the city hall are imposing
structures. There are several monu-
ments and a number Of public parks.

COMFORT FOR THE TRAVELLER.
European Pensions Convenient and
Well Kent Up.


To the tourist contemplating Eu-
ropean sojourn on a modest expediture
the pension furnish a perfect solution
Of the living questions, says Good
Housekeeping. Every prominent Eu-
ropean city is full of them, and there
are nlmerous reliable lists Published.
The rates vary from francs up to 10
or IL francs per day for stays for less
than ten days, with lower weekly
rates for longer periods. My wife and
l found delightful places. easily, in
every city visited, at francs ($1.20).
never more than francs. per day,
all included. Our FIRST experience was
in Naples, and the ease with which we
found accommodations and became
promptly settled and at home was a
revelation. Pensions differ but little
in the different cities Of Italy, Switzer-
land, France and Germany, except in
the cooking. and 1t is quite possible
now to visit almost every leading
city in Europe and stop in every one
at your choice of German, French
or an English pension. We visited but
one where English was not spoken
by one or more attendants.

Arriving at q Verdict.

KushequaePa. July 10.-(SpeciaD-
In this section Of Pennsylvania there
is growing belief that for such Kid
ney Diseases as Rheumatism and
Lame Back there is only one sure
cure and that is Dodd's Kidney Pills.
This belief grows from such cases as
that of Mrs. M. L. Dawson Of this
place. She tells the story herself as
follows:
81 have suffered from Rheumatism
for thirty years and find, that Dodd's
Kidney Pills have done me more good
than any medicine have ever taken.
I was also bothered with Lame Back
and can only say that my back hasn't
bothered me since took Dodd's Kid
ney Pills."
Considering that Mrs. Dawson only
took two boxes Of Dodd's Kidney Pills,
the result would be considered wonder
full II IT. were not that others are re-
porting similar results daily. Kushe-
qua is fast arriving at verdict that
"Dodd's Kidney Pills are the one sure
cure for Rheumatism"

Game Commissioner Woodland In IN
receipt Of q letter from James Tib-
bits, Q ranchman q few miles south OF
Meeker. Colorado. which recites that
one of the greatest and fiercest battles
that he ever saw took place on his
ranch on Monday between q huge rat
tlesnake and q buck deer. The battle
continued increasingly and nercely for
half an hour and finally resulted in
the rattler being killed
Mr.. Tibbits states that while he was
standing in his doorway on Monday
morning watching q large buck deer
which had been wandering around his
ranch for a few days. he was surprised
to see the deer rear on his hind legs
and engage in a struggle with some
thing which was wound around its
legs. Rushing near to where the deer
was standing, the ranchman was
startled to see a huge rattler. meas
uring easily six feet, wound around
the legs OF the buck. Climbing tree

tie for over half an hour. 1t was
about an even struggle, but finally
the buck succeeded in extricating him
self and dashed the snake against
rock, killing it.-Denver News.

British Bicycle Boom.

The bicycle boom is now in full
swing and Coventry is working over
time to meet the orders flowing in
from al, parts Of the world. The fac
tories are completing between 1900
and 1000 machines each day, and yet
the leading firms find it impossible TO
meet the demand. The coming of the
cheap cycle has revolutionized the
market
The incoming Of the autimatic tool
and the partial employment of female
labor in the lighter sides of manufac-
ture have helped somewhat to lessen
costs, but the great demand this year
has sent up wages in some branches.
About 5000 men are now employed in
Coventry alone in this one work.
