Come, Mrs. Wybert, let's be broad.
That's the game you like, and I don't
criticise you fur it. It's good game

you need more money. I'll put you in

II must think about it. Suppose I

From the little table at his elbow
he picked up the card that had an

"You said my word was as good as

The loss OF much money is COM

down with the hight reverence for
sheets of clean paper. TIC bewail is

of the wretched facts. therefore, is not
seemly.
The Bines fortune disappeared much
as a heavy fall of snow melts under
the Chinook wind.
That phenomenon is not uninterest-
ing. We may picture a far-reaching
waste of snow, wind-furrowed until it
resembles billowy white sea frozen
motionless. The wind blows half q
gale and the air is full of fine ice crys-
tails that sting the face viciously. The
sun, lying low on the southern horizon,
seems a mere frozen globe, with lus-
trous pink crescents encircling it.
One day the wind backs and shifts.
A change portends. Even the herds Of
half-frozen range cattle sense it by
some subtle beast knowledge. They
are no longer afraid to lie down as
they may have been for a week, The
danger Of freezing has passed. The
temperature has been at so degrees
below zero. Now, suddenly it begins
to rise. The air is scarcely in mo-
ton. but occasionally it descends as
out OF blast furnace from overhead.
To the southeast is a mass of dull
black clouds. Their face is unbroken.

Burglars at Work
Weather.

The Vulcan Iron Works store, 81
East Heron street, was entered by burg.
lars Saturday night, and checks amount
ing to $1,034, and a few dollars cash
change was taken from the cash register.
The checks are listed and pay ment stop
ped, so that all the thieves ara ahead by
their work is between So and 81. En-
trance was effected by forcing open the
sliding doors in the rear, on the alley.
The work looks like that OF anna tuers, as
the cash register was damaged by try
ing to force open the drawer before they
discovered that it was not locked and
would open by pressing the key. The
fact that but one drawer was operated
upon, and that the one where the cash
and checks were kept, leads to the sus.
picion that the burglars were somewhat
familiar with the place. No clue to
their identity has yet been secured by
the police.

U.OF W.NEW TRAINER
H.B. CONIBEAR, LATE OF Chicago
UNIVERSITY.
Secured as Athletic Trainer at the
State University. Has Had Sew
eral Years of Successful Expert
enCe, and Expects to do Great
Things With Washington Material.

II. B. Conibear, trainer at the Univer-
sity OF Chicago, has been secured to
coach and train at the University OF
Washington for the next two years. Mr..
Conibear has had extended experience
as an athlete, coach and trainer. In
1899 he trained the football team OF the
University OF Chicago, which won the
championship OF the West under the di-
rection OF A. Alonz> Stagg, one Of the
worlds greatest coaches. In 1900, he
accompanied the University Of Chicago
track team to the Paris Exposition. The
next fall, he went to the University OF
Illinois as assistant physical director
and trainer. At the end OF the season,
by reason of the resignation OF the loot.
ball coach, Mr.. Conibear was given
charge OF the coaching of the team for
Il e Thanksgiving game against the Uni
versity OF iowa, which was won by ILL.,
nois, 100. During the two years at
Illinois, Mr.. Conibear was track coach
and succeeded in making a very credi'
table record in his meets against Mich
igan, Wisconsin and Chicago, winning
all other meets. In the fall OF 1902, Mr..
Conibear went to the University OF Mon
tana as physical director and general
coach and trainer, where he remained
two years. 1t was under his direction
that the university won its first and only
victory in football over the Montana
Agricultural College. He also promoted
and managed two state high school
meets at the University of Montana
similar to the meet held on the univer-
sity campus last spring. Last fall, Mr..
Conibear was again secured by Mr..
Stagg 10 train the University Of Chicago
football team, which team again won
the Western championship. Mr.. Conf
bear is graduate of the Chautauqua
School OF Physical Instruction. While
student at the Chauauqua institution,
he was member OF the crew for four
years, captaining the crew in his third
year and coaching it in the fourth.
With reference to the University of
Washington, the coming of Mr.. Conibear
marks a step in advancement. Hereto
fore no attention has been paid to the
track and crew men until after the end
OF the football season or the opening OF
the new year. The result has been that
there has been no time for the develop
ment OF the men who were to represent
Washington on track or crew. This fall,
it is planned that MIR. Conibear can bh-
gin his work with the candidates at the
opening of the college year. Also the
presence OF an experienced trainer to
mark the condition OF the men on the
football squad should do much to relieve
the work OF the football coach and to
add to the chances OF victory. Mr.. Conf.
bear, in addition to training the football
and baseball men and coaching and
training track and rowing, will act as
assistant physical director.

THE WATER SITUATION

Each wear the rapid growth OF Aber'
deem NJ 1kes the scant water supply more
serions. and each year the council talks
if over hut does little or nothing to rem
edy the condition. So serious has the
situati IN become, that many advocate
the sale of the plant to a private corpor'
alton. in despair Of finding officials with
the capacity to manage it successfully.
With those the HERALD does not agree i;
the city water system has ever paid a
profit, notwithstanding the blunderlng
way it has been managed. Even now, 1t
shows a handsome profit each month
above operating expenses and interest
on the investment, without counting the
amount we would have to pay a private
concern for ire hydrants.
We do not agree with the evening pa
per when it suggests that the present
source of supply be abandoned. There
is a sufficient supply in the two streams
now used to supply city Of $4,000 peo'
pie if it is property conserved. Our dry
weather does not exceed three months
in the wear, and the building OF large
storage reservoir on the hill sufficiently
high to give pressure for fire purposes
would solve the problem for years to
come, at least until the growth OF the
city would permit going to the head wa
tiers OF the Wishkah or Wynooche rivers
for a supply. This would mean an ex-
pense OF probably quarter million dol
lars, and is simply impossible at this
time.
A storage reservoir, as suggested, could
be pumped full in the wet season, and
kept full at all times rs reserve for ex-
tensve fires and the dry season, the sup
ply being limited only by the size OF the
reservoir. The costly attempt to pump
water across the Chebalis river should
be abandoned, and separate system
put in on the South side, by a private
company if the city is not in condition
to hear the QXppuSe.

A GREAT OPPORTUNITY

When President Roosevelt on October
4th, addresses his fellow citizens at Har-
rsburg, upon the dedication OF the
"bronze doors" of the new capitol OF
Pennsylvania, he will have a great OPP
portunity to advance the cause OF good
government. The time will be just
about month before the people OF Penn
sylvania, will be called upon to decide
between The Irregular" republicans and
the Lincoln reformers. The "bronze
doors" will record for ages the most cor.
rupt and degraded government that a
free people ever submitted to, for the
ringleader is embossed thereon in en-
during bronze.
President Roosevelt can hardly en-.
dorse Quay, or his audacious and I'M
scrupulous metl DDS, but will he have
the courage to denounce Penrose. the
successor Of Quay, and endorse the cause
OF the people, who through the reform
organization known as the Lincoln Re.
publicans, ARE trying to wipe out the stain
and corruption Of political bossism.
1t will be crucial test of how much
the real reform spirit animates Mr..
Roosevelt and how greatly his mind is
bent on vivifying reform efforts in
others.
The issue is plain, on the one side is
the old Quay gang, now headed by Pen.
rose, and still backed by the corrupt
trusts and corporations that have so
long dominated the old commonwealth.
On the other hand are the plain people
the Reformers and the Democrats,
striving to overthrow corruption and
grating and laying aside political parti.
sanship to attain that much desired end.
1t is a great opportunity for President
Roosevelt and he will have the undivided
attention Of all his fellow citizens, every.
where, who are fighting for real reform
and who trust to find him uncondition.
ally recorded on the side of decency and
righteousness.

BIG FIRE THIS MORNING
German Hotel and Bakery Burned
Probably lnCendiarV

At 2:45 this morning the fire alarm
rang from box 81, located at Broadway
and Heron streets, and almost immedi.
ateIy fierce flames sprang skyward from
the German hotel and bakery, Ill West
Heron street. two story frame struct-
ure, 24x13O feet in size.
The ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS very quick.
ly. and by splendid work confined the
flames to the rear of the building in
which it started, although the residence
OF E. b. Benn was but a..few feet distant.
The breaking..of the suction pipe Of the
steam engine caused stoppage Of that
machine for about ten minutes, during
which time the blaze came near getting
away from the fireman, but Engineer
Plympton had the engine pumping again
in time to prevent the fire spreading.
The fire originated in the rear OF the
building, and the proprietors say. there
was no fire OF any kind in the house,
the bake oven having been extinguished
for several hours, they having baked
earlier than usual that night. One Of
the employees was awakened by the
horse that drew the bakery wagon kick
ing in his stable, which adjoined the
wool and wagon shed in the rear of the
bakery. and he says the fire started in
the shed, and that the woodshed Of the
Benn resi- lence was also afire when he
first saw the blaze. This induces the
belief that it was incendiary.
The building was owned by Otto Seig.

damaged probably to the amount Of
80 800. 1t was occupied as hotel by
VIM. Seise and las bakery by Seise &
Binder. Mr.. Seise estimates his loss on
hotel furniture at about ISL 200, upon
which he has $3.50 insurance. The ba.
kerry carried 5000 insurance, and was
damaged over 81 900. The Benn wood.
shed was burned, and all the household
goods removed, as were the furnishings
OF the B.cona rooming house next door.
The horse that gave the alarm was
burned to death in his stable, and the
wagon destroyed, upon which there was
no Insurance.
