Tyndall. s. D., June 2s.-The au-
thortties Of this place are firmly
convinced that the town has
among Its population a firebug who
seems determined to destroy the town.
by fire. Within brief space more.
than a dozen attempts have been made
to burn buildings on the principal busi-,
ness street.
The most recent attempt was the set
ting fire to q building occupied by the
photograph gallery OF B. w. Burnett,
and the music store Of F. A. Smith,.
When the f1remen arrived on the scene,
the interior of the structure was q
mass of flames and the IRE was shoot-'
ing through the roof. BY hard work
the f1renen succeeded in preventing the.
flames spreading to adjoining buildingss
1t Is the universal opinion that the fire
was OF incendiary origin. several prior
attempts having been made to burn
the same structure.
Thus far the firebug. has covered his
tracks very shrewdly. but a suspected
party is being watched, and II another
attempt Is made to set fire to buildings
an arrest will result.

REV." STANLEY WAS REARRESTED
Former Preacher Wins His Case, but
Is Taken Again at North
Yakima.

NORTH YAKIMA, June 11.-Rev.
Herbert D. Stanley, charged with get
ting money under false pretenses, was
acquitted here today by the jury and
he was Immediately placed under ar
rest on a warrant from Chelan cOun-
ty on a similar charge.
Stanley came here last fall and rep
resented himself to be an agent of
eastern magazines. He took a number
of subscriptions and retained the
money. The case was taken out of
the hands Of the jury, and an order
for acquittal was instructed by the
court. The grounds for this action
was the failure of the prosecution
to prove that Stanley was not the au-
thorized representative of the maya
zines.

To WrestIe Big Swede.

DES MONIES, Iowa. June 11.-As
jealous of the victories of his protege,
Captain Frank Gotch, of the wrestling
world, as a mother of the hOnors of
her son, Farmer" Burns will demand
that before anyone may assume to
take the laurels from his pupil they
must first put his back to the mat.
Consequently he will meet here to-
holm, Sweden, policeman, who seeks a
stepping stone to meet the American
champion.
Sampson will be the most formidable
antagonist Burns has met in years. He
is big, strong and clever, but, though
Burns is As, he is yet shrewd, tricky
and agile. The one question which
will determine the match is whether
the Swede will be able to keep his
head in the rapid fight which Burns
will surely make. Burns himself is a
cool general on the canvas. 1t was
toe hold with which he wrested the
championship form Jenkins at Kansas
City a couple of weeks ago. Burns is
now at Big Rock Iowa, training with
Frank Gotch. Samson is at ColfaX
preparing for the bout, which is to
catch-as- catch can.
Gotch has said that if Sampson can
defeat Burns he will take him on for
a match at any time. amy man who
can defeat Burns" he said, lis fast
enough company for me-"
The Swedish element of Des Moines,
the defeat of Burns, and are hoping
to see this tonight. For two years
they have arrayed every Swedish
wrestler they could find in the country
against the wiley farmer, and he has
defeated them all with apparent ease.
Burns is as confident as he ever il
about winning the match. He smiles
about it. He never says he will win
a match. He is content to say Il will
do the best l can" 1t has been noted
that after a careful study of his adj
versary's methods he generally goes
down for the first fall, reserving his
strength for the last two. which he has
in the past been successful enough to
get And at the close of every match
ever had. My opponent is great

WHERE IRRIGATION RUINS THE SOIL
Water From Some Streams In Idaho
and Washington Said to be
Valueless.

FERGUS FALLS. Mimi, June IL
w. H. Parsons returned today from
trip through the west, having spent
considerable time in Idaho and eastern
Washington. He states that there is
serious disappointment in some of the
country that has been opened up by
means of irrigation, in cases where
the water is obtained from rivers.
Nearly all of this water is strongly
impregnated with alkali, and its use
ruins the soil. When the water is
first turned on abundant crops are
raised. but as the alkali permeates
the soil, vegetation gradually fails.
He saw one ranch, in particular,
a tract of 1000 acres of land, which
had blossomed like the rose four years
ago, which is today utterly worth
less. and as white as snow from the
alkali water that has been brought
in by the irrigating bitches.

FALSE REPORT EMANA1Eo FROM TACOMA

The friends of Judge r. O. Dunbar,
of the supreme court, take exception
to the statement published in Taco
ma paper that he is not to be a can
didate for denomination this year.
Judge Dunbar himself. when inter-
viewed on the subject said the state
ment was erroneous, is the report that
comes from Olympia.
Il will be a candidate before the re-
publican state convention for renom-
nation" said Judge Dunbar, "although
l do not consider it would be be-
coming for me to get out and make
an active canvass for the office. l have
been on the supreme court bench of
this state long enough for the people
to know whether or not they want me
to continue there, and l will rest with
the simple announcement that l am
candidate for reelection. There was
a time, couple of years ago. when on
account of my health l felt some doubt
about my future plans, but having re-
gained my health l have uniformly
stated for several months past that |
desired to continue my work on the
supreme court bench"
Judge Dunbar is the only member of
the supreme court bench who has serv-
ed continuously since Washington was
admitted to statehood. He was selected
from klickitat county, and has been
continuously reelected from there.
During his six-year term, just expir-
ing, he has established his home in
Thurston county, and while he has as
surances that he will be given the en-
dorsement and the delegation of Kick
itat county, he will ask primarily for
the endorsement of Thurston as his
home county.

The Same as I'm Other Places, but 1t
Contains No Microbes.
It is an error to think that the chem
ical composition Of the air differs es-
sentially wherever the sample may be
taken. The relation Of oxygen to nitro
gen and other constituents Is the same
whether it is on the heights Of the Alps
or at the surface of the sea. The ia
vorable effects, therefore, of a change
of air are not to be explained by any
difference in the proportions OF its
gaseous constituents. The important
difference is the meteorological one.
The air of high attitudes contains no
microbes and is, in fact, sterile. while
near the ground and some hundred
feet about it microbes are abundant.
In the air Of towns and crowded places
