HUNT AND COUNTY COMMISSION
Fps HAVE COMPROMISED
MITcHAM DISPUTE.
Sale Of Land for Delinquent Taxes Is
Declared Off-Reser Can Re-
deem Land.

The board of county commissioners
and L. l.. Hunt, keeper of the county
poor reached a compromise yesterday
in the matter of the care of Mrs.
Mitcham of Waitsburg. The county
will pay $40 a month toward her main
tenance at the Walla Walla hospital,
Mr.. Hunt agreeing to make up the diff
ference. Mrs. Mitcham was brought
to Walla Walla Monday evening by
County Health Physician Stiles and
Mr.. Hunt
The sale of 100 acres of land by the
county advertised to take place yes
terday under foreclosure proceedings
on a tax lien was declared off by the
commissioners on the advice of County
Attorney Wilson, VINO rendered writ
ten opinion that the foreclosure pro-
ceedings were so defective that the
only claim the county had aaginst the
land was a tax lien. The land in ques-
ton is the property of w. P. Reser and
is situated on Snake river.
The attorney advised that the sale
be declared off and that Mr.. Reser
be allowed to redeem his land by the
payment of taxes and interest due on
the same.

RUSSELL SPRING MOUNTAIN Of
FERs INDICTMENT TO
CAPITAL.
thousands OF Acres of Fine Timber
Available Says J. 3. Montague,
an Old Mountaineer.

One of the finest sites in eastern
Washington or Oregon for a saw mill
plant is on the Russell Spring noun
tain, Is miles east of Walla Walla, ac-
cording to ]. B. Montague, an old
pioneer resident of the mountain. Mr.
Montague was in Walla Walla yester-
day from his mountain home laying in
supplies for winter. In discussing the
excellent opportunities open for capt.
tai in the numbering business he said:
There are hundreds of acres of the
finest kind of timber on Russell Spring
mountain waiting for some enterprise
ing firm or individual with capital, to
turn into finished lumber. The topo-
graphy of the country is such that
numbering could be carried on at mini
mum cost, the onlydraw back to such
an enterprise being the long haul to
market. Should one of the projected
electric lines ever tap the foothin
country this drawback would be done
away with and an industry opened up
that would mean thousands of dol
lars to Walla Walla"

Belief Of Personal Friends.
Close personal friends of the miss

son to believe that Kelley is not dead
but would return to this city within
a short time unless he becomes sensi-

about his case. At the same time
there developed the story about KEEL
ley's mode of living, which was
affirmed and denied simultaneously
AS a result of the statement of Mr.

Director of Police Safety Smith, who
was slightly acquainted with Owen

that will extend from San Francisco

Too Deep to Scale.

Occasionally the passageway narrows
until one must creep on his hands
and knees. The fantastic formation of
the walls seems to increase as one
toes are marked with waves and rip
pies of white incrustations, while the
floor is strewn with flakes that have
fallen from the ceiling and sides.
By carefully observing the route,
the exploring party was able to pene-
trate to the depths Of the mountain.
Sounds of a waterfall were heard that
re-echoed among the stately columns.
Another decline was encountered
too steep to scale without ropes. A
stone was thrown down into the black
ness below and after a long interval
splash was heard indicating the
presence of water. A newspaper was
lighted and cast down without touch
ened to a stalagmite and cast down
without touching bottom. Then the
exploring party realized that further
equipment would be necessary before
passing this obstacle.
1t was o'clock in the morning when
the party started, and it was nearly
10 at night when it again reached the
mouth of the cave.

WOULD PUT BRYAN IN AGAIN.

LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 4.-Secrecy
surrounds meeting of prominent
democrats held Saturday night in the
office of Judge Tibbets, at which Will

Two dozen politicians of state prom

the meeting was called to force an or
ganization of democrats, presumably
to begin the work of re- Bryaniz'ng the

MRS. DODGE'S NECKLACE.
Valuable Diamonds To Be Sold at
Auction.

NEW YORK. Jan. 4.-The pearl
necklace, with diamond pendant, that
was taken from Mrs. Phyllis E. Dodge,
several years ago by Theobald. for
mer treasury agent. was placed on
view for inspection today preparatory
to being sold at public auction. The
sale is set for tomorrow and will take
place in the United States marshal's
office
The sale is probably the most nota-
BILE of it's kind that has even taken
place in this city and will eliminate
case that mas attracted national at
tention. When Mrs. Dodge dis
embarked from the steamship st. Paul,
in June, 1899, she said that most of the
jewelry she had with her was bought
in this country. The boxes, however,
marked with the names of Partisan
jewellers, were found and the jewelry
was confiscated. A year later the case
was brought up in the United States
district court, and on the payment of
part Of the. required duty Mrs. Dodge
regained all the seized jewelry except
the famous necklace. Later the case
was brought up before the United
States supreme court, and a decision
against Mrs. Dodge was made. She
then brought the case before President
Roosevelt, but he refused to interfere.

CHEYENNE REDS ARE STARVING.

ROSEBUD. Mont, JAN 4.-Reliable
information comes here through an
employee of the United States Indian
department stationed at the Tongue
River agency that the Northern Chey-
ennes are in pitifully destitute condi-
ton. Commissioner Jones, on the ad-
vice of j. c. Clifford, Indian agent, or
dered that no food be issued to the
Indians except the very young, the
aged and infirm, basing his action on
the theory that they were self-sus-
tanning.
The Northern Cheyennes are willing
workers, but the government has failed
to give them work, and as the white
settlers can only supply them in hay
ing time it is apparent how they came
to be in their present destitute condi-
ton.
Complaints are coming in that the

Mysterious Double Life.
Behind the disappearance, from facts
discovered by men who have. been
searching for him. lies a story of a
mysterious double life 1t is believed
by those who knew the facts that
Kelley met death while in the evil part
of his Jekyll-and-Hid existence.
His family will not believe it. Mrs.
Kelley. the wife of Patrick Kelley, and
the sister of Owen Kelley, believes
that her brother has met with foul
play; that he had aroused ill feeling in
certain Irish societies by his espousal
of the method of parliamentary agita-
ton and that he had been made the
victim of conspiracy similar to that

CAN BE CONTROLLED.
Recommendation Made by Former
United States Senator Edmunds.

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-The following
are extracts from the open re-
concentrations of ex-United States
Senator George F. Edmunds on the
Mormon question now before congress,
which will appear this week in the
Christian Herald. Mr.. Edmunds is
the author of the Polygamy Act
of 1882. 1.-The evidence, as far as OBJ
tanned by senate committee Investigate
ing the Smoot case, discloses that some
at least of the chief rulers of the Nor
mon church have deliberately carried
on the practice of polygamy without
prosecution or annoyance, in the face
of their pledges made to two presidents
of the United States and have set an
their church members without any
danger of interference by the legisla-
tive or any other department of the
government of the state of Utah.
They know that congress has no power
and that the state has no disposition
to interfere.
The committee investigation has also
developed evidence showing that the
hierarchy continues to control the
government of the state and that the
choice of officers and their official
actions in some degree at least are un-
der it's control. 1t can quite conse-
quently say with the French king, Il
am the state
Practice of PoIygamy.
THE practice of polygamy and the
have been gradually expanded into
the territories of New Mexico, Arizo-
ma, Oklahoma and into the states of
Idaho Wyoming, California and Ore
gon. This is condition of things that
should receive the most serious con-
sideration of the great body of the cit
liens of our country, to whom the in
stitution of polygamy and the interfe-
renee or the attempted interference Of
izations with the polite autonomy Of
any republican country is abhorrent.
What can be done toward de-
stroying the evil?
1.-THE national constitution can be
so amended as. first to prohibit polyg-
amous marriages and provide for their
punishment, and,
Second. 10 require all persons taking
office under the constitution or laws Of
the United States or of any state to
take and subscribe an oath that he or
she is not and will not be a member
of any organization whatever, the laws,
rules or nature of which require him
or her to disregard his or her duty to
support the constitution and laws of
the United States and of the sever
al states.
State Sovereignty.
THE first suggested amendment
would in no wise interfere with the
state sovereignty, unless, the state
should desire either to establish or
tolerate polygamous practices, for each
state could prosecute and punish the
same acts against it's sovereignty if it
should (as it ought choose.
THE second suggested amendment
does not in the least interfere with
the sovereignty Of any state, but rather
supports it, and it would be incon-
venient and troublesome only to per-
sons really unfaithful to their whole
or to their state or to any
state or community which was willing
that it's chosen officers should be under
obligations paramount to those they
owe to their country, state or COM
munity.''
