Of their aged k,nsman wss found On

the deed was pcrpctratcd The top
Of his head had been blown entirely
on aud his left arm, on which his
head rested, was torn away. 4 dou-
bile barrelled shotgun was the gun
used and two loads took effect. The
weapon was eyidc ntly fred from a
distance Of six feet through an open
door. It is thought, by some people
that TIE deed was done for the pur.
pose Of robbery but the house was
found to be in perfect order, and the
small amount Of money there was
in the house was left undisturbed.
This opinion has been disregarded by
many and the general opinion now is
that the murder was committed by
parties who would be benefited by
bis death. Bloodhounds we're taken

Farmers were unable to properly work

ran wild, thus greatly retarding the
growth Of the tobacco. In many low

were drowned out. Even tobacco on
the highlands did not escape damage

FOIL PAN TO
OFFICER AMERICAN
SHIPS WITH ALIENS

SAN FRANCISCO, July 31.-An
extensive attempt to officer American
ships with foreigners who too sud
denly secured naturalization papers
has been frustrated here. After two
weeks OF investigation, Special Treas
ury Agent Richard H. Taylor has
placed nine of the alleged members
of the ring in ajil.
The men in the suppositious get
acknowledgements scheme, who have
been arrested, are: Frank Johnson,
well known politician; Gustav Holm
gren, a water front saloonkeeper;
Herman Won Busse, a petty officer on
the big American-H Hawaiian steamer
Nevadan: Paul Ruppmunl, master-at-
arms on the revenue cutter Thetis;
William Achlstrand, proprietor of a
sailors boarding house; Ernest
Graessler and Frank A. Wirtanen.
The latter is detailed as a witness.
The so-called ring has been active
for the past IL months, according to
the United States authorities who
have been engaged in routing out the
scheme. There was big money in
it; citizens papers being quoted on
the water front exchanges at $50
each, and there were many takers.
The $50 would go to the leaders of
the ring. These men, or others, des-
ignated. il is alleged, would go be-
fore a Judge of the superior court
and swear that they had known the
applicant for citizens papers the le-
gal period of five years, and that dur
ing that time he had resided in this
country. The citizenship papers
would be issued promptly and the
sailor man would go forthwith to the
United States inspector of hulls and
boilers and take examination for Of
ficer's papers. The citizenship docu-
ments, illegally secured, would be
prime facial evidence that the appli-
cant was an American citizen.
In that way American decks be-
gan to be trod by a host of aliens
and the American merchant marine
lost its nationality. The ships be-
came floating expatriates, the wheel
houses locked against native born or
legitimate citizen masters and the
helms taken from American hands
at $50 a tiller.
One of the men apprehended has
confessed.

PAINS PEERLESS PoMPEII.

Pains stupendous midsummer
night spectacle, Last Days of Pom
peii," will be presented in Spokane
for one week commencing Friday,
August 4. The huge pyrotechnic and
spectacular exhibition is totally un-
like any other travelling amusement
enterprise on earth; in fact, there is
even no permanent attraction either
in Europe or America that rivals 1t
in magnitude or Interesting features.
A more fascinating form of popular
summer night amusement can not be
imagined The organization present
ing this big exhibition numbers near
ly 400 people, travels in its own spe-
cial train, carries a mammoth port
able amphitheater with a seating ca
pacity of 10000 people, with its own
stage, electric light plant, etc. The
occasion will be rare opportunity
for residents of the smaller sur
rounding towns to witness an exhibit
ton such as IS usually provided only
for the largest metropolitan cities.

wreck from that direction. She
chose the post of danger, running
with all her might to meet the COM
ing train. When it drew into sight
she frantically signaled the engineer
to stop. He hesitated. But her
earnestness was so great that he re-
allied a disaster was imminent. The

ASHEVILLE, N. c., July 81
Little Mamie Gibson, a 15-year-old
mountain girl, saved a whole train
load of people from being dashed
down the mountainside in front of
her house.
In recognition of this heroic act,
the Southern railroad promised her
a college education. Her mountaineer
lover, finding it out, married her by
stealth, in hopes to prevent her 60
ing. Her future is now depending
upon a suit for divorce which her
father is bringing for her.
Mamie lives in the mountains, 20
miles east of this city. The dream
of her life has been to receive an ed
ucation and grow up a lady. Its
realization had always seemed to be
as far away as the skies. Now It
seems to be at hand, and she has
/ been simply daZed by the fairy-like
prospect
1t all came about one day when
Mamie discovered that a landslide
had blocked the track at sharp

old sister, down the track to guard

THREE STAGES
THREE RINGS

One can get a good idea of the
magnitude of the greatest show on
earth by considering for a moment
that three stages, three circus rings,
and race track are required to ex-
hibt the 100 acts. Besides these,
again, there are any quantity of
aerial apparatus to enable the skilled
artists to execute the thrilling acts
in the air which are their specialties.
Then there are two menageries, an
elephant pavilion with three herds of
big performing pachyderms. double
horner rhinoceros, a drove of camels,
herd of giraffes, cages of wild beasts,
birds, monkeys, etc, besides all the
cuios led animals, llamas, alpacas
guanacos and many others. And
again there is a most delightful ex-
hibition. which is performed in the
mnagerie-an exhibition of the most
charming character executed by the
troupe of midgets, the giant, the
Scandinavian troupe of dancers, Vo-
calists and others. Aside from the
people, who of themselves are Curl
osities, the entertainment is most
praiseworthy. The exhibition of liv-
ing curiosities given in the menagerie
tent is an excellent one, and bristles
with picturesque episodes and living,
acting tableaux. The gorgeous Dur
bar is perhaps the greatest under
taking yet attempted in the line of
great displays and spectacles, and
the many Partisan sensations, such
as looping the gap, of which, by the
way, there are half a dozen, are
thrilling in the extreme. The per-
formances of the three herds of ele-
plants in three rings are wonderful.
The entire show is one of excep-
tional merit and well worth visit
in fact, it is worth a dozen visits,
for no one can see it all in less. All
will be here on August II and II and
exhibit a thousand wonders beneath
waterproof tents, which contains a
! foot-rest for every seat.

5[TT[[ F|6HT As
To OWNERSHIP
Of SAND ISLAND

SEATTLE, July 31.--The fight be-
tween Washington and Oregon fisher
men over the Sand island seining
grounds in the Columbia river has
been settled for good and all so far
as these interests are concerned.
However, the suit Of B. F Houston
of Tacoma, claiming the island under
a tideland lease from the state of
Washington will be prosecuted in the
courts.
At the time the government leased
the island to a syndicate of Oregon
fishermen, over the protest of Wash
ington fishermen who had used the
waters about the island for years I'M
der licenses from the state of Wash
ington, which contends the island is
on this side of the Columbia, there
was much complaint over the unwar-
ranted loss Washington fishermen
would sustain. They had erected
sheds and cabine. owned horses for
hauling in the seines, and generally
costly outfits.
Under the terms of settlement the
oregon syndicate purchases all the
sheds and cabins, horses and outfits
of about one-half of the Washington
fishermen and has entered into an
agreement with the balance which
will allow them to Jointly use the
island and adjacent waters on good
terms
The matter is now definitely set
tied and naught remains to clear the
Oregon fishermen's title to the gov
eminent lease except the HeustoT

gush of fearful words. She didn't
want money; she didn't want clothes,
for her father, with growing pride
in his pretty daughter, had made
sundry trips to Asheville and return
ed with wonderful creations" Of
white and unwonted shoes and stock
ings: but she did want an education
and to grow up a lady.
The papers are now going the
rounds of the railway officials, with
one favorable recommendation after
another, and it seems as though Nam
MES great wish is to be gratified.
There is one serious obstacle in
the way, though it will probably be
removed. Mamie has been married.
She had lover, Abe Smith, an
open faced, laughing, careless noun
taineer, eight years older than she.
In almost startling contradiction to
his burly swagger and incessant
cigaret smoking is his gentle, caress-
ing voice and his courteous and
kindly manner. To this sturdy noun
taineer the realization that Mamie
ably, and that he might lose her. was
unbearable. He must marry her and
prevent her going. He sent friend
to town to get marriage license.
Then with the friend for a witness
and a magistrate for the ceremony
he went to Nannie's home one morn
ing when he knew her father was
away and married her. Little could
Mamie have to say, for in the alb
sence of her father she knew no law
except that of her impetuous lover.
The enraged father was quick to
action. He caused the arrest of
Smith and the man who had procured
the license on the ground that Mamie
was not of legal age. He also began
suit to have the marriage set aside.
Upon the success of this suit will de-
pend largely whether Mamie is to
have an education, the one great
dream of her life.

GET CONTROL

George McCahe & Co. local rail-
road contractors, have been awarded
the contract for constructing 16
miles of the extension Of the o. r..
& n. from Elgin toward Joseph, Wal
Iowa county. The road will be built
but to the Wallowa river at present,
and It will be determined later what
steps Shall be taken to complete the
branch to Joseph.
The fact the line is TO be carried
only to the river at this time leads
TO the impression that by the time
1t is completed a better idea will be
had Of the talked of new route
through the Grand Ronde and down
the Snake river to Huntington. Work
on the 16 miles will be commenced
Immediately.
