If he refused to leave
Miller says he was forced to leave
the house, although a cold rain was
falling and he had no place where
he could seek shelter.
He says the irate woman threw
his separate property after him, in
Guiding his bed; that he begged her
to be allowed to put the bed in the
cellar and to OCCUPY it there, but she
refused.
Against the protests of the woman
he slept in the cellar for several
nights. He was suffering from rheu-
matism at the time, but his wife had
no pity.
On cross examination Miller adj
mitted that part of the $3.50 loaned
him by the woman was used to buy
a wedding suit. He said Mrs. Miller
wanted him to look real nice at the
wedding.
The wife's statement of the separ-
alton differed from her husbands.
She said he was gloomy and cross
and finally concluded to leave and
he took away everything even to a
dusty old dishpan which had some
tomatoes in it, which he threw on the
floor"
She produced several witnesses in
court to sustain her contention that
her husband made all the trouble.

ELLIS G. SQULE
DIES SUDDENLY

Shockingly sudden and unexpected
was the death of Ellis G. Soule at
the Sacred Heart hospital yesterday.
Only a week ago he was attending
to his legal duties and taking his
usual merry part in social functions,
where he was regarded as a favorite
and a leader.
The stroke of sickness came with
out warning. In a night he was
seized with the grippe, which was
followed by complications resulting
in an operation to remove an alb
cess formed in the groin.
The operation was performed at
the Sacred Heart hospital by DR..
George Armstrong. Up to yesterday
afternoon the patient was regarded
as doing well.
During the afternoon, while being
visited by his classmate and business
associate, II. Y. Saint, Mr.. Soule sud-
denly turned over on his pillow and
went to sleep. A few minutes later
it was noticed that he was breathing
heavily.
Before a doctor could be brought
death came, quietly and painlessly.
The news of the sudden death
spread rapidly and came to the many
friends and fraternal brothers of the
dead man as a heavy blow.
Probably no one of the younger
class in business and society circles
was more universally esteemed for
his many good qualities than Ellis
Soule. None occupied a firmer place
in the affections of his friends and
chums. None had a more brilliant
future.
Everywhere he met with that
CHEEKY hail which comes from the
heart of good fellowship. To those
who knew him well he was a man in
the fullest sense. His warm friend
ships, his sturdy loyalty, his COM
mercial trustworthiness, had made
for him a following which was in
creased by social qualities that easily
placed him as a leader. His was a
future of the brightest.
Because of this his death is the
more sorrowful.
Mr.. Soule had only recently been
appointed assistant corporation coun-
sci, position for which he was emf
nently fitted
He came to Spokane some six years
ago after graduating from the law
department of Ann Arbor university
He opened offices in The Rookery and
speedily took a place in the foremost
rank of the younger lawyers of the
city. His practice grew and, al

"The provisions for distribution on
the north side of the river will be
inadequate under their plan, as no
gravity system from the reservoir
or additional force mains are pro-
vided. The pumps at the upriver sta
ton will discharge direct into the "a
inch main leading to the North Side,
as at present, giving what is known
as direct pressure service, which de-
ponds for its supply upon the opera
ton of the pumps. Even the 1000, 900
gallon storage tank provided for the
relief of the people of Lidgerwood
Park and the additions to the east
and west must be sacrificed.
In comparison with the apparent
economy displayed toward the north
side of the river on the one hand.
and the liberal provisions for the
south side on the other, together with
the reckless abandonment of the
$4,000 "a inch force main to rust
and stagnant water, would serve to
indicate a fragrant lack of good judg-
ment in their design.
There Is no reason nor foundation
whatever for their ridiculous state
ment that reservoir at Cliff Park
would be a shallow. warm water
basin, as the supply is drawn from a
depth of 2S feet below the surface.
The entire bottom and sides are com
posed of solid rock, which not only
provides safety, but cools the water.
"Fhe gentlemen comprising the
commission propose to build 90
100000 gallon reservoir and utilize
the present insufficient pumping
plant, at an estimated cost of nearly
100000, the greater portion OF which
Is to be expended for wooden pipe.
The Cliff Park plan designed by
the city engineer provides for a 20,-
100000 gallon reservoir with two
pressure reducing storage tanks. an
additional pumping capacity of TO-
100000 gallons per "a hours and the
elimination of the Cannon Hill and
Cook Hill auxiliary pumps, at a cost
not to exceed $350.000.
TT would seem that the great
difference in benefit to be obtained
by the adoption OF one plan rather
than the other, with an equal ex-
penditure of money, should cause the
property owner to pause and con-
slider why the plans Offering the
lesser benefit should be approved"

In an interview today Mr.. Gill says:
Some there are who believe that
the agitation in favor of water meters
has been disposed of by the passa ge
of resolution by the joint meet
ing of the chamber of commerce and
the Taxpayers league, purporting to
adopt the report of the water COM
mission with the elimination of the
water meter recommendation. If it
was possible that the meter advo-
Gates had given up the fight. the
resolution adopted eliminating meters
would have included the installation
OF additional pumps, because in this
manner only, at this time. can the
question be disposed of.
TT appears to me that the mode
of operation adopted by the meter
advocates Is to force the adoption of
the plans submitted by the water
commission, without provision for
either additional pumping capacity,
or water meters at this time, knowing
full well that If their plan is sue
cessful, the meters will become a
necessity and their installation will
follow.
when the Stage reservoir Is com
plete and July and August in 1906
finds no water In storage, the argu-
ment will be advanced with effect
that the delay incidental to the in
stallation Of pumps would continue
to expose the business district of the
city to the mercy of great con-
Migration, and the immediate install
lation of meters will be pointed out
as the only remedy.
'The water commission advises
that 20 per cent or more of the
service be metered. The installation
of water meters is an essential part
of their plan and can not be elimi-
mated therefrom without an entire

judging from their report, that the
Stage site would have been selected
for the reservoir.
'"rhey claim to have been guided In
the selection of a reservoir site by
the ability of the present pumps, only
two of which are capable OF raising
water to a greater elevation than
the Stage site. and that these con-
ditions were the limiting factors In
determining their selection.
I'm their eagerness to install water
meters instead of pumps they weak
ened their plans In so far as they
limited their selection OF a reservoir
site, with the result that the natural

recommended by Colonel Symons and
other engineers as the most desir.

''Their plans are defective In the

of the Reign of Terror.

A dramatic incident of the reign Of
terror in France was the saving of her
fathers life from the guillotine by
Mile. de Sombreuil. M. de Sombreuil
and his daughter were condemned to
death at the time of the September
massacres and were waiting in the
cart. surrounded by the mob, for their
turn to mount the scaffold. Mile. de
SOmbreuil turned to the crowd and
asked what harm weak old man like
her father could do to the nation. Some
CT the men answered that if she would
drink a glass Of blood to the nation
they would let him go and passed up
glass. She drank it down Immediately.
The crowd took her and her father
from the cart. They escaped and made
their way to England. She thought at
the time she drank blood, but after
ward she concluded that it was red
wine, for she saw no one stoop to fill
the glass. To her death she was never
able, however, to see red wine in a
glass without a shudder.
