DIES MONIES, Ia, Sept. IL. A.
Woorley, d pious farmer, living near
Sigourney, yesterday signed a state
ment that under the fires of remorse he
was driven to confess that he was the
promoter of a sailed gold mine enter
prise in Keokuk county several years
ago.
Procuring chunks of ore he placed
them in a we'll he was digging, and
then told the neighbors of his big dis
covery. The ore was analysed by an
assayist and pronounced extra fine.
Neighbors poured out their money in
stock companies organized to develop
the mine. The mine, of course, was a
failure.
Woorley says that he mas had nc
peace of mind since that day. Hence
the confession His neighbors are
wrathy and are going to take the mat
ter to the grand jury.

PARKER FOR MAYOR OF NEW
YORK.


A curious fusion ticket for the local
New York campaign consisting of AL
ton B. Parker for mayor, former Mayor
Schieren of Brooklyn, for controller,
Thomas L. Hamilton for clerk and w.
T. Jerome for district attorney, has
been suggested. Here are two repub-
licans and two democrats for the larger
places with an equal division of the
lesser jobs. The theory upon which
such a ticket would be brought into
the field is that the old county demo-
cracy, with which William r. Grace
fought Tammany, still has virility, and
that by combining it with the repub-
lican strength, a winning combination
could be made.
Evidently the task of ousting Nc
CIellan is not an easy one. The repub-
licans are in earnest in their desire to
do it, and are willing to go to consid-
cradle lengths to join with any re-
spectacle section of the democracy,
which is travelling in the same direc-
ton. But it must be pretty nearly
stranded when it falls back on Alton
B. Parker to lead a winning fight on
any proposition.

Tried to Rob a Widow,

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. Sept. T.
William P. Barnes, grand scribe of the
I. Q. o. F. of California, and one of the
best known fraternal men in the west,
is accused by the widow of Grand Pa
triarch A. c. Bates, of having failed to
turn over to herself and two children,
thousand dollars contributed to her
by various encampments of Odd Fell
lows in California. She says Barnes
wanted her to loan the money to the
Hamilton Baptist church, taking as
security his personal note, and when
she refused he threatened to return
the money to the donors. Mrs. Bates
applied for an injunction this morning
to restrain Barnes from carrying out
his therats and sued in the superior
court for the sum. Judge Hebbard
granted temporary restraining order.

KITTEN SAVES BABY'S LIFE,
Little Pets Soft Body Breaks Child:
HeadIong Fall.

NEW YORK, Sept. THE soft
body Of a small cat saved the life of
Annie Lobbardi, baby of IS months,
when she fell headlong from VIM
dow of her home, on the second floor,
of No. 102 East Houston street The
kitten was instantly killed, but the
child escaped with only a few lac
erations.
The baby, in a high chair, was
watching the gambols of the kitten In
the back yard when the accident hap
pened. The little one leaned too far
forward, lost her balance and shot
head downward to the yard. Her
head struck the kitten, pining it to the
earth. The furry cushion had saved
the child from fractured skull, as DR..
Stillman, summoned in haste from
Bellevue hospital, declared.

PUSSY MOTHERS.

Across the aisle from me-" says a
writer in the Boston Herald, sat one
of the .fussy' kind of mothers with her
little girl. The mother did not
leave the child in peace for an instant.
she took off her hat; she smoothed her
hair; she repinned her collar; she
wiped her face with a pocket handker-
chief; she took ner from the seat and
stood her on the floor to straighten her
frock; she took off her hair ribbon and
retied it; then she began at the be-
ginning and did all these things over
again. The child grimly endured it..
Evidently she had been accustomed to
it all ner short life. :
The energetic attentions of mothers
to their children are certainly exhaust
ing Some mothers have an idea that
children have no means of locomotion;
that to get them on or off a car you
must half drag, half carry them. In
a streetcar the child is given credit
for no notion of what seat is like. 1t
is not to be trusted to take one, but
must be violently pushed, thrust and
assaulted into it. 1t is the same in
church. Did you ever see a we'll
dressed mother come into church late
with three or four children? 1t is a
staggering blow to ones belief in rea-
son to see her operate. But it is in the
posed to run free, that the fussy
mother achieves her final mastery of
she can prevent, without apoplexy
setting in, two children from having a
good time; but she does it, and She
drags them back to the fiat perfectly
miserable but with frocks void of soil.
This appears to be a desideratum, es-
pecially with female children. It's sue
cessful accomplishment is generally
admitted to be a sign of genius in the
mother.
The unhappy thing about it is that
every push, shove, shout and command
to the child brings it nearer the nerv-
Gus condition of the mother, which is
already worse than death. The sana-
forums are yaWning for children
whose mothers have brought them up
with extreme care.

WANTS LAW TESTED.
Attorney General Doubts Legality Of
1905 Assessment.

OLYMPIA, Sept. TN an opinion
given that in case school district prop
erty is assessed under the provisions
of the 1905 act providing for the as
sessment of public property for local
improvements the action may be re-
sisted and the question of the con-
stitutionality of the law on account
of insufficiency of the title be especa-
ally submitted to the court, the at
torney general expresses the view
that school district property was not
assessable for local improvements
prior to the enactment of the 1905
law; that the body of the act of 1905
is broad enough to include school
districts, but that the title is not. AS
it is the rule of the attorney general
not to pass upon the constitutionality
of any act, the opinion does not ex-
press any definite view On the act of
1906, but advises simply that the act
be tested.

1.-THE MIDDLEMAN."
Presented Last Night to Large Audi
ence at the Star.

The Middleman" was presented last
evening to a large audience that fully
appreciated the work of the players
and it was all that was promised, and
more, it was the best performance
that Mr.. Redmond has yet offered.
AS Cyrus Blenkern,' he presented one
of the strongest dramatic characters
that has been enjoyed for a long
time.
1.-The Middleman' will be repeated
for tonight only and all who wish to
witness something that is we'll worth
tee while should not fail in attend
ing the Star and enjoying a truly
great play.
Tomorrow evening the program will
be again changed and "A Kentucky
Romance" will be offered. Much has
been said in favor of the play, and as
it is a new one to our local patrons,
it will prove attractive.
There will be another round trip
ticket to the Lewis and Clark expo
sition presented after the third act
and this will 40 doubt attract the u.s.
ual big house.

MUST GET TOGETHER.
Government Will Not Make a Move in
Yakima Valley.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. T.
Chief Engineer Newell of the recla-
nation service returned to Washington
today. He says it is now up to the
canal owners and private irrigators in
the Yakima valley to determine wheth-
err or not the government SHALL build
the project in that valley, and if 50,
when it shall be done.
Until these interests get together,
reach a general understanding as to
their conflicting water rights and are
willing to make a binding agreement
with the government whereby they
will be assuerd all the water they can
use, the government will not attempt
irrigation in the Yakima valley. If
sucn agreement is reached Mr.. Newell
says the government can double the
irrigated area along the Yakima river.
The government, however, will not
longer press for an adjustment of
private rights in Yakima.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1905-09-07

of thievery but it is said to draw some
very fine distinctions between actual
tips or gratuities and brides. For
instance, guest may tip the butler at
house at which he is staying, but
the baker cannot tip the butler to allow
him to deliver the pies for the family.
You may tip the waiter for bringing
your dinner promptly, but you cannot
pay him to bring you a dollar dinner
for fifty cents. The latter would be
bribery.
The law also tries to restrain one of
the growing evils of the railroad world,
the bribing of railroad purchasing
agents to divert the buying of the rail-
road toward certain concerns by whom
they are bribed. This traffic has
grown to immense proportions and has
become a positive scandal in the
great railroad centers. The tipping OF
public servants to divert purchases is
also becoming common, and is an evil
the tax law will try to minimize.
Another form of tyranny and graft
which has become we'll nigh intolerable
in New York is the suzerainty exer-
cised by janitors of fiat buildings. In
many of them the dealer who does not
stand in with the janitor cannot make
a delivery of goods to a tenant. One
of the first efforts of the district at
torney will be to apply the law to
these pests of modern life. If the law
is found strong enough to bring to book
