STATE CAPITAL GOSSIP
Things Political and Otherwise Occurring
and to Occur.
Fact, Fancy and Forecast of a Bystander The
Legislative Session Closed, and Olympia
Feels Relieved. An Extravagant Set
of Good Fellows. Credit is Given
for Some Good Laws. Graft
at Minimum.

When it is remembered that. our pre-. .
ent senators found themselves unable to
write with anything less than 81
fountain pen-when the state paid the
bill. the suspicion may be aroused that a
little OF the same kind Of paddiug may
have figured in their estimates for state
expenses.
1t is likely that few sessions like the
one just closed will make it necessary for
the state to avail itself of the new law
permitting municipalities by popular
vote to validate Indebtedness beyond the
constitutional limit.
The plain directions OF the constitution
were again ignored in the matter of the
formation of congressional districts. The
mandate OF the same document in regard
to our anti-pass law was also, ha, ha,
ignored.
But in one thing the session just closed
was commendable and worthy OF imita
tion by all legislative bodies. That was
the fact that graft and suspicion Of graft
was at minimum.
We are not throwing the late legislators
bouquets regarding their intelligence and
industry, but we are convinced that a
majority OF them were honest So much
so that it is our personal belief that
even in the matter OF the disposition OF
the state funds they we're guided. by per-
sonal friendship and deuded by skilled
arguments as to the Importance of TAB
solute security" rather than influenced
by ulterior motives.

Held Very intere sting Meeting on
nOndaV EveninQ,

The attendance and interest manifest.
ed at the meeting Of the Aberdeen
Chamber OF Commerce Monday evening
was very encouraging to those who are
endeavoring to create an interest in the
upbuilding Of Aberdeen. Ten new mem
bers were elected, making the total
membership 56, less than one-llalf what
it should and will be as soongas the i'm
portance of the work in hand is realized
by the general public, and the fact
brought home o.them that every dollar
invested along jucicious lines in this
matter will return many fold.
Vice.president Miller reported County
Attorney Boner as giving an opinion that
the county commissioners had no aul hor.
ity to appropriate money for county
exhibit at the Portland exposition. 1t
was shown that quite number Of coun.
ties had already announced they would
appropriate literally, and had applied
for space in the state building for their
exhibits, and the opinion was expressed
that this county would be sufficiently
progressive to have it's resources properly
exploited at the fair. The secretary was
directed to prepare blank petitions for
circulation throughout the county, ask
ing the commissioners to appropriate
$4,000 for the purpose, which will be
supplemented by each city and town to
the extent required.
Several publicity propositions were
endorsed by the chamber, and a small
pamphlet, concisely descriptive of Aber-
deem, for mailing in letters, was ordered
printed.
The proposition of VIM. Macarthur, to
establish coal bunkers, and stone yard
employing many men, was referred to

Grays Harbor in the afternoon, instead
OF two trains east in the morning.
The proposition of Mr.. Alexander, 10

refuse was commended as being the be-
ginning OF what would prove very i'm.
portant industry.
The executive committee was directed
to take steps toward securing space in

Portland exposition for county exh bit,
and the efforts Of that commit ee to
abate the COW nuisance and have tie

Middle Aoe the Happiest.

My experience of life, writes a
woman, has been that the great happi-
ness and sense of blessing belong to
middle age. We then have youth as 1t
ought to be. we see 1t stripped OF
youths unreasoning sorrow and illum-
mated by the light of its eternal typi-
fication; we remember little things
that seemed trivial when we were
really young-and humorous sugges-
tons in the tragedies of our early
days. Middle life straightens out for
us the puzzles of youth, and old age
soothes the broken ambitions of our
working years. Can we doubt that
another stage of existence follows in
which all is disclosed-the secrets for
which "eager life has sought in vain?"

Flyinq Fish.

Flying fish are very voracious. In
their turn they are preyed upon by
barracudas, sharks, dolphins, bill-ish,
reddish and hundred and one others.
Nature has colored the flying fish pro-
tectivelv. The back is a deep blue,
merging into the blue of the seas they
frequent, so that they are invisible a
few feet below the surface, while the
underneath is dazzling white, and to
a fish that looks upward must merge
into the light falling on the sea. In
addition they possess the unique pow
er of flight. Flying fish are about sew
en- inches long and the spread of wings
is about equal to their length. The
wing" is of thin, gauZy substance,
having stiffening sinews, like the fiber
of a leaf, to strengthen it.

In view, DR.. Huntington heard the
team being driven off and realized mat
the girl of his heart-perhaps his wife
would be enticed into the villains
power. He prayed he cursed, he
struggled, but no help, good or bad,
came to his aid.
For few moments all was quiet in
the cabin. DR.. Huntington was finally
placed on the bunk with a sheet
thrown over him, the candle was
blown out and Pearson took up his
station on the outside of the hut, Sc
cure from view from the road. Shar-
key sat in one corner of the room
calmly smoking his pipe
Possibly an hour passed in this
manner, then again the candle was
lit. The men wore determined looks
ypon their faces. Soon came the
sound of a wagon coming down the
lane, then it stopped. The men hid
behind the door when opened, and in
bounded Pearl Huntington, out of
breath and seemingly greatly agitat-
ed. The door was closed behind her.
and when she turned she was con-
fronted by the stern looks of the des-
perate men.
But let us describe the abductors
of Pearl Huntington and learn how
she came to fall into the trap set for
her.
Tom WHITLEY, the driver of the
wagon which had brought DR.. Hunt
ington to his doom, receiving orders
from Schiller, after untying his team,
mounted the seat and returned to
town, driving straight to the home of
Or. Huntington. He rang the bell at
the front door, and was waited upon
by Pearl herself.
"Your father" Whittleby began,
and he nervously twisted his hat in his
hand.
What of him." asked Pearl, in a
voice tremulous with emotion. ooh,
say he has not been hurt"
"I am sorry to have to say So" said
the youth, as IL with an effort, "but
while crossing the railroad track my
team grew frightened and threw him
from the wagon!"
my father! oh, my father!" she
cried wildly, striving hard to keep
back her tears. LET me go to him!"
"He does not wish to alarm your
mother" WHITLEY said, cautiously
He is not hurt badly, but perhaps you
had better see him."
Just like papa!' she said, striving
