THEY ARE TOO LISTLESS.
Lieutenant Governor Coon Takes Mem
bers of Upper House to Task.

OLYMPIA, Wash, March 3.-Presi-
dent Coon took occasion to make some
rather caustic remarks concerning the
listless attitude of the senate on all
bills except those demanding roll
call.
When the committee reports were
reached, he said
II do not expect the chairmen of
committees to so arouse themselves as
to move for the adoption of the reports,
but I do think that they ought to take
enough inerest in their own recon-
mendations to vote on them"
Again, when a motion to strike out
a section in the Minard bin requiring
that English should be taught in all
private schools in this state was made.
the vote, taken viva voce, was very
weak, and President Coon said:
Il don't think the senate is alive
yet, or that the senators understand the
purport of the motion. There were but
two noes and one aye on this prop
osition. 1t appears to me that that is
hardly an expression of the senate. I'll
put the motion again..

HER CARD WINS RICH MINER.
Tossed Into Bale Of Waste In New Jer
sey, Cupid Operates In Alaska.

CAMDEN, n. j., March "Details
of remarkable romance, in which
Uncle Sam, through his mail service.
acted as chief aide to Cupid, followed
quickly on the formal announcement
today of the marriage Of Miss Carrie
George of this city to Charles H. Dun
ton, a millionaire mine owner, of Del
omi, Alaska. The couple became ac-
quainted through a card placed by
Miss George in July. 1902, in a ship
ment of waste to Dunton's smelling
works. A letter of inquiry developed
regular correspondence and Miss
George meeting Dunton in Seattle in
January, where they were welded, and
now are living in the bridegrooms
home in the far north.
Miss George was the confidential
agent of a dealer in raw silks in Phil
adelphia. Workmen were binding a
watching them. She had several cards
bearing her name and address in her
handwriting, and on an impulse of the
moment she dropped one into the bale.
There's a little message to the wide,
wide world" said Miss George, laugh
ingly. Let's see what comes of it,
Charles Dunton had gone to Alaska
with his brother in the first rush to
the Dawson gold fields. After year
of vain prospecting he struck rich
vein of ore in Delomi, and now is many
times a millionaire. He happened to
catch sight of the card when mis-
workmen cut open the bale. He placed
the little slip of paper in his pocket,
and, being of a sentimental turn of
mind, few days later he wrote to Miss
George.
After several weeks of hesitation
Miss George replied. The wedding is
the result.

PEOPLE ON THE MOVE

"A great deal of fall sown wheat in

by the recent cold wave" said ]. c.
Scott of the Jones-Scott company to-
day. Mr. Scott mas just returned from
a trip to that section of the country
and brought samples of growing grain
taken from different parts of his land.
1T is a strange fact that grain on my
land is apparently unframed while
that of neighbors adjoining presents
the appearance of dead weeds and viii
have to be reseeded. l attribute it to
the fact that my land was seeded late
in November while most of the grain
frozen out was sOwed in October
William Jones will be compelled to re-
seed something like 1900 acres, which
was put in early in October. A tract OF
about 500 acres seeded down in No

those who sowed early in the fall will
be compelled to reseed.''

 The author runs the entire gamut of emotions. from grave to gay and from epic to idyiic. His genius, like the trunk of an elephant. which Is so delicate as to pick up H pin or so strong as to crush a rock. treads the primrose path of dalliances in love ditties and steps in seven-ieague boots from mountain top to mountain top or epic poetry. His muse as the gushing spring in the mountain flows gently at first. murmuring roundelay to the songs of the birds. now dashes into a foaming cAteract of poetical passion and then broadens into the mighty river of rich sentiments. and sweeping us on to the boundless ocean of thought with an irresistible force.

Not only in the South. but in the North, East and West, has Dr. Dozier won his place as one of the literati Of our country.

formed a partnership with the late Judge Samuel F. Rice. and leaped at a single bound into a large and lucra- tive practice. For period covering about eighteen years he was almost continuously a member of the Stats Legislature, serving alternatiVeiy m both House and Senate. He was still Senator when elected to the Fifty-sev- enths Congress in 1900. thus enabling him to bring to this new and higher station the disciplined exA .-ience and superb equipment which his long mem bership in the General Assembly had given him in legislative work.
 His Work Here.
 As citizen, Colonel Wiley is enter prising and public-s spirited; as a busi- ness man, he is prudent, wise. direct in his methods and eminently success full He has an intense affection for Montgomery, her people and all her manifold and varied interests; has al- ways manifested deep concern in the progress, prosperity and welfare of our beautiful Capital City; was for about fifteen years a member of the Board of Aldermen, and while thus connected with the machinery of municipal gov ernment he introduced many measures and inaugurated countless movements looking to the betterment anI perma- nent upbuilding of the city. He helped to recreate this goodly city. Block af- ter block of splendidly paved streets, a perfect sewerage system. extensive parks and public reservations, as well as other features, which go to beautify and render her desirable as a place of residence, and, too. the many miles of chert roads and well Reconstructed and durable bikes. stretching out in every directions from a common center throughout the county, bear testimony to his patriotic endeavors; and are the offspring of city and county legisla- tion framed by his hand and enacted into law by his marvellous energy and intelligent direction. These things stand as monuments to his tireless ef- forts to accomplish good results for the community in which he lives and tolls.
