Clerical Style a DeIusion.

A former president of the Boston &
Maine railroad, who was we'll known
both for mis- clerical style of dress and
his picturesque profanity, according
to the Boston Herald, happened to be
stopping at a hotel in Plymouth, New
Hampshire which was also head
quarters for quite number of metho-
dist ministers attending their annual
conference and many of the clergymen
were strangers to each other.
The clerical looking railroad presi-
dent entered the dining room with the
party of ministers, and the head watt
er, selecting him as the most impos-
ing and dignified of the number, gave
him a seat at the mead of the table.
A momentary silence fell On the
party; then the minister at his right,
addressing him, said: Brother, will
YOU ask Gods blessing on the food?"
Placing hand back of one ear and
leaning toward him, the brother"
you'll nave to speak louder, neigh
bor. as I'm so id deaf I can't hear
ordinary conversation"

TAX THE FRANCHISES
KING COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
WILL MAKE HOLDERS PAY
FOR CONCESSIONS.
All Owners Have Been Summoned "a
Appear Before the Board Of
Equalization.

With the idea of placing a valuation
independent of the assessment for
corporeal property on the franchises
of all public service corporations. the
King county board of equalization
mas passed a resolution that the own
er OF every such right in the county
should be summoned by the clerk of
the board to appear in ten days and
be examined upon the value of the
concession
County Assessor John w. Peter, In
making up the tax roll. had placed a
valuation Of 100000 on the fran
chises Of the Seattle Electric COM
pany, the same amount on that Of the
Seattle Lighting company, and $4,000
on those of the telephone companies.
Among the corporations summoned
are those mentioned, the Seattle
Renton & Southern Railway COM
pany, the Puget Sound Power COM
pany, the Puget Sound Electric Rail-
way company, the Seattle & Montana
Railway company, the Northern Pa
cific Railway company, the Columbia
& Puget Sound Railway company, the
Mutual Light and Heat Company, the
Diamond Ice company the Western
Union and Postal Telegraph cOmpan-
les, the Instantaneous Alarm company,
the American District Telegraph COM
pany and many others.
The attempt to make a systematic
assessment Of this class of property IN
an innovation in this county and is in
line with suggestions made by Tax
Commissioner Frost wnen he demand
ed of the county a statement Of its
policy in the matter.
Walla Walla county commissioners
will probably take up this subject
when they meet again August o.

MORE TEACHERS AND A BETTER
EQUIPMENT.

On account Of the growing needs OF
the school, the Empire Business Col
lege will add another room to the floor
space already occupied and purchase
new furniture. Miss Berg, who so sue
cessfully conducted the shorthand de-
partment the past year, will return
the first of September to resume work.
In the bookkeeping department, the in
creasing attendance makes the en-
ployment of another teacher neces-
sary, and G.. E. Cave, an expert pen
man and graduate from two CONNER
cial schools, is to have charge of the
offices and the penmanship class.

KINCAID FINISHES HIS WORK
CHAIRMAN OF BOARD OF CON :
Troll REFUSED TO DISCUSS
HIS INVESTIGATIONS.
Will Submit His Report to Governor
Mead in Person When He Returns
to Olympia.

Chairman w. F. Kincaid of the state
board of audit and control, who has
been in Walla Walla making thor
ough investigation of the charges
brought against eight guards at the
prison. finished his work yesterday and
left for Medical Lake to inspect the
Eastern Washington hospital for the
insane. Chairman Kincaid was eX-
tremely reticent regarding what ne
found and refused to intimate In any
way what his report to Governor Mead
would be. His report will probably not
be submitted to the governor until his
return to Olympia Sunday.
"Incident Is Closed"
"The incident is finally closed, says
Governor Mead in an answer to ques-
ton concerning the discharge of eight
of the Walla Walla penitentiary en-
ployes because of alleged registration
frauds. Some . misunderstanding
might arise from the reports coming
from Walla Walla. 1 made up my mind
what action to take when 1 read Judge
Brents' decision-made it up a month
ago, for that matter-and l nave never
seen any occasion to change 1t.
The TACT tnat tHe lIlen nave nv
been summarily dismissed is a mere
matter of detail to be worked out pc
tween the chairman of the board OF
control and the warden of the penlten-
tiary, No one would expect, and l
certainly did not, that the men snoul1
be dismissed forthwith and their places
filled with inexperienced men.
These men were dismissed because
their conduct in this matter made 1t
necessary. There may be others equal
Iy guilty and if SO they will go, too.
But in any event the institution Will
not be crippled by the dismissal IN
body of a lot of the employees. AS l
said before, the date Of their dismissal
and the filling of their places by com
petent men is matter for Mr.. klncald
and Mr.. KEGS to work out. 1t may take
the remainder of this month before the
change is made.
"This is the end Of the chapter as
far as l am concerned. Mr.. Kincald's
report when he returns will not deal
with recommendations for the REIN
statement of the men, but the employ
ment of new ones. There is nothing
further to be said.''

Prints the News Sometimes.

A man stopped us on the street the
other day and told us that we didn't
print all the things that happened. We
should say We don't. In the first place
there is somebody else depending on
us for a living. If we published all
that happened we would soon be with
the angels. In order to please the
people we must print only the nice
things about them and leave the rest
to gossip. Yes, it's fact that we
don't print all the news. II We dfd
wouldn't it make spicy reading? But
it would be for one issue only. The

airy and there would be new face In

much ADo ABOUT NOTHING.
Gov. Vardaman's Opinion of Invasion of
Louisiana by Mississippi Guards.

Louisiana by mississippi Guards.
jackson, Miss, Aug. 2.--When asked
tonight for statement regarding the
reported invasion of Louisiana soil by
Mississippi troops doing quarantine
duty on the gulf coast and a complaint
received. from Governor Blanchard to
this effect, Governor Vardaman declar-
ia that the whole affair was Much
Ado About Nothing" He attached very
little seriousness to the rumors of an
Impending conflict between. the two
states. He said:
I have received telegram from
Governor Blanchard stating that the
Mississippi quarantine guards had en-
tered upon the territory of Louisiana
and otherwise interfered with the rights
Of this people of Louisiana. 1 wired
Governor Blanchard that this was
without my knowledge or order, and
that ! should see to it that this was not
repeated.
All this talk reminds one of some of
the scenes portrayed by Cervantes in
that famous romanc3, Don Quixote. I
repeat that 1 shall not permit the
rights of Louisiana to be violated by
the Mississippi quarantine guards, and
Al want to emphasize the fact that
shallnot permit the people of Louisiana
to violate the quarantine regulations as
promulgated by the state board Of
health of Mississippi. 1t is my purpose
to increase the force of guards and
double their vigilance. If the fever
gsts into Mississippi, Madame stegom-
via will have to fly high"

PRESIDENT HORNE HOPEFUL.
Men Accused of Turning Signal Boards
to Danger Position.

to Danger Position.
st. Paul. Mimi, Aug. I'm a state
ment to-day General Manager Horne
of the Northern Pacific said:
In response to President Perham's
strike instructions the telegraphers on
the Northern Pacific went out at mid
night last night. The order was gen.
orally Obeyed, and on all the ten d.
visions of the system many operators
have left their jobs.
This situation has not, however, tied
up traffic at any point on the North
ern Pacific system. Passenger trains
over the entire line are running to-day
very close to their schedules.
THE strike has interfered to some
degree to the movement of freight over
the system, but not in such proportion
as to produce blockades or serious
congestion.
The telegraphers at headquarters in
st. Paul obeyed the strike order and
went out. Wires are still working at
the headquarters office, however, and
communication is being maintained
With the west end of the system.
ON the superior division, including
the head of lake lines many operators
are out, yet passenger trains are mov-
ing on time and freight trains are be-
ing handled subject to some delay
On the st. Paul division men are
still at work between ST. Paul and
Staples land passenger trains are NOV
ing on time. Freight trains have been
interfered with to some extent by the
action of the striking telegraphers, I'M
der President Perham's orders, in turn-
ing the signal boards to danger posi-
ton and tampeffng with the con1pany's
wires.
"On the Minnesota division condi-
tions are fairly good.
a.s On the Dakota division substantially
the same condition prevails. The Paci-
nc division is in good shape and trains
between Portland, Puget Sound points
are running on time. Conditions be-
tween the Sound and Ellenburg in
eastern Washington are not quite so
good
General Superintendent Slade of the
Great Northern railway said to-day:
The strike order of last night has
been observed by, number of tele-
graphers who have heretofore express
ed their willingness to accept the new
schedule and who are entirely satisfied
with it.
"Of the effect of the strike on the
companys traffic, it is enough to saw
that the trains due at the Union depot
early to-day were on time with the ex-
ception of one, which was but fifteen
minutes late and which was detained
by causes having no connection with
the strike. Our fast freights are on
time and other freight trains are NOV
ing without difficulty.
Arrangements are being made to
fill the places OF the men who have
gone out.''
Fruit. vegetables, eggs, poultry, fish.
perishable shipments of all sorts des-
tined for towns between st. Paul and
the state of Washington were refused
to-day with few exceptions by the
Great Northern and the Northern Paci-
fic roads and by the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific express compan-
les. The Northern Pacific road refused
perishable freight in any quantity re-
CARELESS of destination. The Great
Northern would accept such shipments
for a few large stations including Du-
luth. The usual refrigerator services
were suspended.

The fever situation showed no mater
ial change during to-day and the few
new foci shows that it is not spread

Of the deaths four were in the emergen-
cy hospital; four in the original dis
tricts and three in the charity hospital.
The controversy between the states
Of Louisiana and Mississippi over the
invasion by Governor Vardaman's
quarantine mosquito fleet and the
armed guards stationed at Pearl river.
is not improved by the statement given
out by Governor Vardaman to-day in
jackson after his return from the
coast, where he went to investigate the
situation.
Governor Blanchard has ordered Cap
tain Bostwick of the naval brigade to
impress the fleet of patrol boats of the
oyster commission into service and arm
them and patrol the waters now in pos
session CT the Mississippi boats. One
of these boats has already been dis
patched to the Rigolets, the neck of wa
ter connecting Lake Ponchartrain with
Lake Borgne and early tomorrow
launch armed with Colts rapid fire
guns from the naval armory and man
ned by officers and crew from the
brigade will leave for the scene.
Both Captain Bostwick and General
Perilliat submitted reports as to the
result of their Investigations. Both
dispatched officers to the scene to-day
and they learned enough to confirm the
first reports of the invasion and the
action of the Mississippi patrol boats
in closing Louisiana waters to Louisi-
ana fishermen. The Rigolets draw
bridge, on which the Louisville and
Nashville railroad CROSSES, it is con-
tended here, is five miles from the Mis-
sissippi line and distinctly in Louisiana
territory, and, it is added, does not even
come under the territory now in dis
puts before the supreme court of the
United States. 1t was found to-day
that a man named Blunt claiming to
be in charge of the Mississippi patrol
in those waters, had stationed himself
oa the bridge, armed with two shot
guns, and forbade the bridge keeper
aIl0III sOpSIIIllS CIlS uIdW 10 dilOW pUdLS
to pass out from Lake Pontchartrain
Into Lake Borgne. Many other COM
plants also have been received.
Thers are eighteen boats now at Ship
Island which were captured by the pa
troll and toWed by the revenue cutter
Winona to Ship Island quarantine sta
ton. 1t is claimed that every one of
these vessels was taken in Louisiana
waters.
Another complication has developed
In the same connection. The British
ship Brayhead, of the Head line, after
completing her cargo in New Orleans,
stopped at the Mississippi side of the
Lake Borgne canal to get a deckload of
timber, but the Mississippi boats abso-
lutely refused to allow tug to go to
the mouth of Pearl river to get the
barge and RATS. The Brayhead had to
leave without the cargo, and the agents
and the owners will lay the matter be-
fore the British government.
