]. Howard Watson, a prominent
newspaper man, known to many of
our people here as Secretary Of former
Gov. Mcbride, died in . Seattle hos.
pital, Wednesday night, from a second
operation for appendicitis. He was q
native Of Mt. Vernon, Ohio, born
Aug. Is, 1858. He came to this State
in 1900. He was connected with
several papers Of this State, and at
the time of his death was employed
on the SEATTLE Times. He leaves Q

He was member of Olympia Lodge

S. H. Barbee, a former resident of
Olympia, recently paid this city q
Welt. For q number OF years, Mr..
Barbee has made his home in Seattle.
While here he remarked many of
the business men of Everett objected
to the proposed interurban line, con.
Meeting that city with Seattle, on the
ground it is calculated to deprive the
business men of Everett OF much of
their local trade, which in tho event OF
the construction OF this line will be
diverted to Seattle, according to the
universal law of attraction that the
greater body absorbs the less; but
he 10 positive nevertheless that this
line will be constructed in the near
future. He also said, he believed it
will not be long before Olympia will
have interurban connection with Ia.
coma, which will have . like effect
| upon our local trade; that in such
event many OF our people will trade
there; especially women for the sake
of the trip, and the payment of the
car.fare by Tacoma merchants who do
business on . large scale. Neverthe.
less, Olympia citizens will do their best
to get all the electric and steam lines
of traffic possible, As the opportunities
may present themselves.
| Mr.. ]. G. Kleber, of Spokane, was
here during the early part OF this
week arguing cases before the Supreme
Court in which he was interested. Mr.
Kleber lived in Olympia about eleven
years, before moving TO Spokane, to
engage in the practice OF law. He re.
ports that he is in receipt of q good
income, that when he left his presen,
homo there was sleighing. His oldest
daughter is nearly sixteen years and
is . musician of promise. His father.
in.law and mother.in-law, Mr.. and
Mrs. Owens, sister.in.law and hus.
band, Mr.. and Mrs. Hart, himself, wife,
and two children, all reside under the
same roof in a large and commodious
dwelling. Mr.. Kleber also reported
Spokane has . population of eighty.
five thousand Inhabitants, with two
hundred and fifty lawyers. Her mer.
chants pay the same rates on freights
regarding shipments from the East,
that are paid by consignees doing
business on the Sound, and still do
we'll. He thought the State Railway
Commission was unable to do his city
any practicable good by way of pre-.
venting discrimination, or by lessen
ing freight rates; but looks to Con-
gress to do something in such behalf
under the urgent solicitation OF our
strenuous President.

Another Knock for the Railway Commission.
Now comes the Superior Court OF
Walla Walla county and decides the
State Railway Commission has no
power to fix rates unless complaint
shall have fret been made. Thus il
will appear that this Commission is
powerless to make the slightest change
in rates, without an entering of o
formal complaint. This law is receiv.
ing hard knocks at the hands OF the
courts. The $4,000 appropriated for
the benefit of this Commission has
thus far failed to benefit shippers to
any perceptible degree. This large
sum just now would aid very much
to assist poor people in our State in
procuring fuel.

TOWN TOPICS.
AN ELABORATE SOCIAL
 FUNCTION.
ITS OBJECT TO AID THE DANBURY
 HOSPITAL.

An elaborate social function was the dinner given by the Danbury hos pital Aid association to 100 smen from Danbury and neighboring towns at the Country club house, Lake Keno shia. The dinner was fine and splen- didly served. Dr w. c. Vile did the honors --as toastmaster in his usual graceful style. The chief speaker was
 pr Robert Morris, son of the late Ex-Gov Luzon B. Morris. He said in substance:
 Dr Morris said in substances: This
 is great occasion. It is sign of the
 times when prominent citizens assem-
 ble on an occasion like this. It is hospital worthy of this progressive cut. Times change and we change
 with them. In my early days at Belle
 vue there were few hospitals in Amer ica. To-day, on every hand, the pro- gressive citizens are developing mod ern hospitals. To-day the charities of a place center about the hospital. Pa tients are changing in their attitude toward the hospital. l have known patients who hated to live in a town where there was hospital. An tgno- rant patient whose temperature was OCAuS OdAcu, S1lu UO LIT NOTTlS: Il cannot swallow that unless it is oiled first" Another patient said to the Doctor: "No use of trying that ther- mOmeter on me. You gave it to Mrs McGuinniss for week and now she is dead" The public must bear in mind that while the doctors are working for themSelv S, it is also true that they are working for themselves that they may benefit the public. To-day it is impossible with hospital training to cover more than very small field. Does the new practitioner know that nervous dyspepsia is likely to depend on eye strain? Why do not the author ities on text books teach this? It is because the field is so enormous they can only teach principles. The doc tors criticisms of one another lessen their power. The advantage of the hospital is that it will care for the poor as we'll as the man of abundant means. To-day you meet your physi- clan on an even plane of culture. They simply ask you to give them an oppor- tunity to be useful. The hospital gives life, strength, health to father, moth- CT and children. Will you deprive the public of these advantages, simply be- cause a great number have not the | means to enjoy it? It is desirable to l have the infringement of the hospital | that will give confidence.
 Short speeches of from to 10 min | utes followed Dr Norris address, AL lison P. Smith speaking for Newtown. Tho guests were conveyed to and from the club house in automobiles. Those favored with invitations to the din- her were:

A great many people ask the reason why the Regal Shoe company did not open store in Bridgeport before. There were several reasons. Good To- cations are hard to get, and this is the first season the Regal company has placed an agency outside of their own to general shoe store. It must be all Regal or no Regal. They make the best shoe at the prices, s3.50 and s4 %, made in the country, and they know it and are successful and have the largest retail shoe business in the world. Da- wis & Savard signed 8 contract with the Regal Shoe company to sell their line exclusively for term ofiyears and they, are we'll pleased with the way the men of Bridgeport have. taken to wearing the Regal shoe. It is the only shoe made in quarter sizes at any price, and this one advantage alone places the Regal in class alone far faeness of fitting.

MRS LILLIAN HYDE WALKER.

Many will remember the New Years concert which was held in the Metho- dist church while Dr Merwin was pas tor and the distinguished pianist and singer, Miss Lillian Hyde, especially the duet, 70 Morning Land, which she sang with Mr Osborne! Miss Hyde one of the largest schools in that part
 of the country and afterwards was married to J. M. Walker. She has re- gently died leaving two children. The Augusta paper says of her, f'Jn the death of Mrs Walker Augusta loses an ideal type of the perfect woman. Her home, of which she was the center,
 radiated the sunshine of her loving heart and all who came within felt the charm of her splendid personality.
 While all is gloom and sadness there to-day, memory will in the future bring out life's sweet impressions so vividly that her gentle spirit will seem to manifest itself. For many years she was the organist at the First Presbyterian church and those who heard knew her very soul entered into the music. Let them cOnjure in their imagination, if they can, how sweet must have been the music of her heart strings aS her eyes rested upon her loved ones and all the strength of her soul and the affection of her beautiful nature rose in 8 mighty chorus to the very throne of God, in 8 prayer so beautiful in it's melody and sweet in its unselfshnesS that the very angels must have listened in rapture.
