LASSIE PUZZLED.
Married to Deserter Under Assumed
Name.

BELLINGHAM, Wash, Oct. l.
One of the most puzzled persons who
ever sought advice in a court of law,
or, in fact, any where else, was Mrs.
John Lane, formerly Miss Dora
Petersen, member of the Bellingham
Salvation Army corps, when she
asked Judge Williams this morning
whether she is really married to the
man who calls her wife. The reason
she queried the judge on this SUBJ
ject was because Lane married her
under an assumed name Monday,
January 8, in the local barracks.
On the night of that day, Lane, al
so a soldier of the Lord" before a
crowded house, which gathered to
witness the first "Halleujah" we'd
ding ever witnessed in Whatcom
county, declared that he would take
the Salvation Army to wife. Now
he will have to repeat the ceremony
if his wife demands it.
For several months after the
wedding all went well and the couple
took part in many of the meetings
of the army. One day Lane left the
city and today his wife told Judge
Williams that her husband is a de-
serter from the United States army,
and that his real name is LaFleur or
some such name. He has been
sentenced to serve eighteen months
in the government prison at Van
couver, Wash, and in order to clar
the records, says Judge Williams,
Mrs. Lane will have to be married
to Lane again.
The judge advised her to get an
other license and go to Vancouver to
be welded the second time, though
the judge says there is no doubt that
the marriage performed here by
Major Waite of Portland, was legal.

ATE WITH THE JACKIES.
President Sat Down With Sailors and
Ate Without Napkin.

BARNSTABLE, Mass, Sept 90
President Roosevelt visited the
North Atlantic fleet off Cape Cod to-
day and left with enthusiastic praise
for officers and crews. The crew of
the battleship Missouri, on which the
president spent the day, cheered
themselves hoarse when he left the
ship for they had the honor present
ed to them unprecedented in the
navy. The president and his guests
sat down 10 dinner with the jackies.
This feature of the trip was a sur
prise alike to officers and men. The
president had the same mess as is
served the sailors, even to eating
without napkin.
The president departed for Oyster
Bay after he had received a long
message during the day from Secre-
tary Taft.

Noted Horticulturist Finds Admirable
Conditions in Yakima County.

TOPPEN1SH, Oct. Special to
the Morning Herald. w. H. Brown,
who is extensively engaged in the
horticultural business in Seattle, and
who for eight years was horticul-
tural inspector of King county, Port
of Seattle, is in Toppenish for a
brief visit. Mr.. Brown has lectured
in twenty-five states on subjects per-
tanning to horticulture and entomol-
ogy and has written extensively on
these subjects. Mr.. Brown, who is
&C years old, but still very active,
visited the plant of the Washington
Nursery company of this place and
said on his return: 81 congratulate
them on having as fine looking a lot
of trees as ! have ever seen, and |
have never seen cleaner nursery
Toppenish is quite proud of this
statement, especially as Mr. Brown
enjoys the distinction of having de-
stroyed more fruit and consigned to
the flames more infected trees than
all the other inspectors in the state
of Washington.
BY way of further compliment to
the Toppenish nursery Mr.. Brown
added, During four shipping sea-
sons l inspected at least carload
each season from this nursery and
never destroyed a tree"

OLYMPIA, Sept. 2S.-Indians will

sTENSLAND'S SENTENCE HEAVY
Records Show that Many Bankers
Who Go Wrong Get Year.

CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-The swift
punishment of Banker Paul o.
Stensland, as melted out by the state
attorney, affords interesting renec-
tions, when compared with the cases
of other prominent Chicago bankers
who went wrong. Stensland went to
Joliet on a sentence which has for
it's maximum term an Imprisonment
of ten years, minus time allowance
for good behavior Between six and
seven years in reality would be the
limit
Whether Stensland is released in
six years, or in one year, his punish
ment will be lighter than that OF
hundreds of petty thieves who have
gone to Joliet from Chicago.
During the last ten years Chicago
financiers have been tried and con
victed of stealing an aggregate o.
nearly $4,000, 900. yet the total time
served in the penitentiary by all
those bankers is about twelve or fiji
teen years, an average of a little
more than year apiece.

The blocks. it was explained by
superintendent John McLaren, pos
sess many natural advantages over
the present location of the refugees.
1t was pointed out that the storms
and chill winds of winter would play
havoc with the comfort of the refu-
gees in their present locations. The
commissioners, said Mr.. McLaren,
have no desire to add to the cares Of
the refugees in forcing them to move.
In fact, they are actuated by sin
cere wish to look after their welfare.
Then again the city had spent thou
sands of dollars to beautify these
reservations and when there were
plenty of other sites available he
could see no necessity for spelling
the beauty by the unsightly wooden
shacks.
The blocks upon which it is pro-
posed to build the winter quarters
are 600 by 240 feet and contain al
most enough room for buildings to
accommodate all of the refugees.
The city also owns 600 acres Of good
land at Sunnyside, where the refu-
gees would find it much more COM
Portable than where they are now,
says McLaren.
In reference to the able-bodied I'M

weeded out. There were few unde-
