YaWns for Health.

Yawning for health Is advocated by
a German professor OF Gymnastics. He
maintains that deep yawning, prac-
tised as a regular exercise, Is the
cheapest and surest road To perfect
health. The expansion of h breast
bones and the stretching OF the arms
which accompany a whole-hearted
yawn, together with the filing of the
lungs, form q splendid daily exercise.

DANES LEAVES A FORTUNE.
Butcher Murdered at BelIngham Own
ed Mining Claim in Idaho

MILWAUKEE,, May 26.-Here is a
study in scarlet which would stir to a
| fine frenzy the sleuth instincts of a
| Sherlock Holmes.
Frederick L. Danes, Who on April
II at Bellingham, met the death which
he had been continually lodging for
half a century, leaves a fortune of
millions to two Milwaukee women
Mrs. Frederick Wellhauser and ner
mother, the mother and sister of the
| murdered man.
Since his youth Danes had been a
my. For so years he was successful.
In many cities and states he lived, be-
ing compelled to leave each that he
might avoid the relentless pursuit. FL
naly, his fate overlook him. In his
room at Bellingham he was found one
morning, his body almost hacked to
pieces, Ratchet buried in his skull,
and his head nailed to the floor with
screwdriver drived through from ear
to ear.
Somewhere in Idaho Danes leaves a
mining claim worth $2,225,OOO, which
may prove another Golconda.
Fifty years ago some myterious en-
envy started Danes from Milwaukee
on his wanderings. He slipped away
into Iowa. For five years, from 1855
to 1860, ne lived at Des Moines as Will
liam Hopkins. Then his enemy over
took him and he spent another five
years in the various cities of Iowa,
most of the time as an umbrella ped
dler.
The next five years saw him in Col
orado; another five years in Iowa. and
five years more at Denver as Dam,.c,1
Smith, bar tender. He then return
ed to Nebraska and posed as a grub
stalker.
From Omaha he drifted out of sight
and wandered about Montana and Ida
no, prospecting near Butte and Ana
conda. His family lost track of him
until 1890, but the enemy was on mis-
track. He had to abandon mis- mineral
claim and went to California.
San Francisco knew him as Danes,
his real name and this brought the en-
envy again.
Tacoma and Seattle saw him next
but in the effort to escape the enemy,
he went to Bellingham as a hermit
and met the death which he had dodg-
ed for so years.

CONVICTED OF CRIMINAL AS
SAULT WILLIAM PATCHEN
COMES TO BAD END
Is Now 81 Years Of Age and Given a
Sentence Of 20 Years-Eiaht
Other Convicts Arrive

Given a sentence which will mean
that the old man will die in the peni-
Tertiary, William Patchen, a decrepit
soldier of the Civil war, was brought
guards to serve a sentence of 81 years
for criminal assault committed on a
1O-year- old girl at Seattle two years
ago. Patchen was one of bunch of
nine convicts brought to the peniten-
tiary from King county yesterday. A
determined fight was made by Pat
chen's friends to save him from doing
time in the penitentiary, but the su-
preme court decided that the old man
was justly convicted, and the sentence
of Fl years was ordered imposed.
Patchen is now 81 years of age, and
his friends declare that he has but a
few years to live at the best. If the
old man outlives the sentence he will
be rs years of age when released, pro-
viding he earns his good time credits.
Other convicts brought into the pen
itentiary yesterday from King county
are as follows:
Charles ROBBERS and Ben Williams,
two negroes, who each nave ten years
to serve. Williams was convicted OF
manslaughter, and Roberts was con-
| victed of robbery at Black Diamond.
George Brand, burglary, three years
Emilia Allosina, grand larceny. two
and half years.
A. J. Hill, burglary, three years.
Edward Payne, grand larceny, one
year.
John Barrett, burglary, one year.
Charles Nelson, criminal assault

CAUSED BY OPERATIONS ON
NEARBY FUTURES IN THE
EASTERN MARKETS
Had Little Effect, However, on Local
Observation-Disclosures Conditions
Still Favorable

A little more interest developed in
wheat during the week as a specula-
tive proposition, based upon the oper-
atoms in nearby futures in the east.
The fluctuations have been more rad
ical than for some time back, but so
far as the local situations are con-
cerned the effect Of these fluctuations
has been nil. Pacific northwest mar
kets are now out of line with those of
Chicago, and in the absence of any
demands from the east, present or
prospective, changes there have no
bearing. There is an increasing ten
dency to conservatism among buyers.
The mills are taking barely enough to
fix a going price, and this upon a ba
sis of 80 cent for club and 80 cent for
bluestem, but this figure is still sew
eral cents above the export level, which
would soon be reached were there any
selling pressure of note in evidence.
California is buying little wheat in
the, northwest yet, but that market is
rapidly approaching the receipt of new
crop supplies, and it's needs will evil
IDENTIFY not be large.
Weather conditions still hold favor
able to the northwestern wheat crop.
There now appears to be little doubt
that sufficient moisture will be avail
able for the maturing of the crop,
though it has been rather too cool to
forward the growth rapidly. While
the situation cannot be said to be ideal
still the outlook is favorable for a full
harvest with possibilities for a yield
| that will crowd the record for Wash
ington and Idaho, a normal outturn IN
Oregon and better crop than the av-
erage of late years in California. An
estimate of the probable yield of that
state places the total at 100000 tons,
or about double the harvest of last sea-
son.
