BY the derailment of a pair of car
wheels in the o. r. & N. tunnel near

A westbound freight train was COM

son, and four cars were ditched and
comparatively wrecked. No one was
hurt in the accident.
Westbound train No. 5, due here last
night at 1880, did not arrive until
about 4:3O this morning, and No. 2,

tie damage was done to the tunnel

placed throughout in the enlargement

MILWAUKEE, July ia we'll
known Milwaukee woman recently
asked her physician to kill her six
months-old baby. She offered him $50
if he would end its life with a drug,
insisting that the death should be
painless.
The physician said he must take
time to decide, and informed the po-
lice. The woman was taken to the
central police station, where to Chief
Jansen she admitted having made the
proposition. She said the baby was
sickly, and she felt it would be a bless
ing to save it from suffering.
When told that what she wanted
done was murder, the woman for the
first time appeared to realize the char
acter of her proposal. She promised
to abandon her criminal intent and
was released. Her husband was
warned to watch her

Taft Will Inspect Military Posts In
Northwest
WILL LOOK OVER FORT WALLA WALLA
1T is NOT PROBABLE THAT MILL
TARY GARRISON HERE WILL
BE ABANDONED.

Secretary of War Taft will make a
tour of the military posts in the north
west during the summer. This an
nouncement comes from Washington
city through press dispatches.
His visit is said to be for the pur-
pose of inspecting the different posts
and also the proposed site for bri-
gade post at American Lake. Although
it has been reported that there is a
probability of abandoning many of the
smaller posts in the northwest a de-
termined effort will be put forth by
the citizens of Walla Walla to con-
vince the secretary that Fort Waha
Walla should not be included in the
list. The advantages of Fort Walla
Walla for a brigade post will be pre-
scented to the secretary with the hope
that the big post may be located here.
1t is not believed in view of the fact
that the government has recently ex-
pended so much money in erecting
new buildings at Fort Walla Walla
that the war department will abandon
this post.

During the debate on the rate bill
Senator Nelson moved to lay certain

La Toilette is expected to oppose

locusts Due This Year.

MASON CITY, Ia. July 16.-Pro-
fessOr George Marshall, principal of
the high school here, and a scientist,
says that as a result of calculations
and study of the subject he can an
nOunce that both the 17-year locusts
and the 13-year locusts will come this
year. They come, he says, only once
in 200 years. 1t is said that when
hOusefiies are few the time is ripe for
hordes Of locusts, as the ordinary fly
destroys the locust eggs in great guam
titles. But there are few flies to do
this this year, and it is said that the
locusts will come. Farmers believe
their cultivated fields will not hatch
the locusts, and that they will escape
the pests.
Crop reports from the territory about
Sioux City continue to predict largo
yields.

PICTURE THAT WAS NOT TAKEN
Governors Wife Fell in Lake as Snap
shot Was About to Be Made.

WATERFOWL, S. D., July 16.-Mrs.
S. H. ElrOd, wife of the governor of
South Dakota. had a vacation expert
ence at Lake Kampeska which she
probably will remember for some time,
and which fortunately had no serious
results. Mrs. Elrod and other ladies
went to take a short boat ride on the
lake. One had a kodak, and it was ar
ranged to take picture of Mrs Elrod
just as she was stepping into the boat
Mrs. Elrod stepped from the pier
into the boat, but as she stepped on
its side the skiff glided gracefully from
beneath her, and she sat down in the
deep blue water with a splash, only a
train of bubbles telling where she had
gone.
Fortunately, male help was near at
hand, and the wife of the chief execu-
tive of the state was taken ont of the
water. Her friend, in the excitement
of the moment, forgot to take the pic
ture.

Former Mayor Tells Of His Old
Time Friend
HAS GOOD WORD FOR SENATOR ANKENY
SENATOR COULD BE ELECTED, HE
SAYS, TO ANY OFFICE IN
THE GIFT OF PEOPLE,.

While in Seattle last week, G. w.
Babcock, former mayor Of Walla Wall
la, was interviewed by a reporter of
the Seattle Post-Intelligencer on the
recent city election held in Walla WAL
la. The following is taken from the
Post-Intelligencer:
1.-THE result of the recent Walla
Walla city election marks the end of
B. D. Croker as the dictator of poll
tics in Walla Walla county and means
that Senator Ankeny must select an
other man to handle his campaigns in
the future if he ever expects to gain
further political honors."
In the foregoing statement G. w.
BabcOck, ex-mayor of Walla Walla,
and pioneer of Walla Walla county,
gave his views of the political situa-
ton in that section.
1.-The fight was not against Mayor
Hunt" continued Mr.. Babcock 'but a
demonstration against the methods of
Crocker. In his conduct of the city
campaign in Mayor Hunts interests
Crocker made his first movement to
COiialOl <aLhCHy III llIlo Will
his own desire to succeed Mr.. Ankeny
to the United States senate Mayor
Hunt had no desire to be a candidate
for reelection, but allowed himself to
be sacrificed to the selfish ambitions
of Croker. l believe Mr. Hunt to be
good man, but his affiliations with
the CrOcker crowd marked him for
slaughter.
$50 far as Senator Ankeny is con-
cerned he could come before the people
of Walla Walla county today, foot
loose from the Crocker leadership, and
be elected to any office in the gift Of
the people of that county, or name a
legislative ticket in his interests for
reelection to the United States senate.
Mr.. Ankeny has been a good citizen
and a very important factor in the up
building of that section of the state.
perhaps no man in the state is bet
ter acquainted with Mr.. Crocker and
his methods than I am. We occupied
the same office in Walla Walla at one
time and were close friends. When the
people of Washington learn to know
Mr. Croker as 1 know him and he is
most generally known in his home
county he will be as dead politically in
other sections of the state as he now
is in Walla Walla county,"

ADJUTANT GENERAL IS TO Rfs|Gh
General Drain Will Enter the I'm pIoy
of the United States Cartridge
Company.

1t has been learned on good authori-
ty that Adjt.-Gen. James A. Drain,
who was recently offered and refus-
the post Of United States attorney for
the post at Shanghai, has plans for
voluntary retirement from the Wash
ingtOn National Guard Immediately af-
ter the shoot at Seagirt this summer,
is the report that comes from Olympia
General Drain it is said, has already
entered into contract with the United
States Cartridge company to act as
the National Guards and private
their agent in placing ammunition with
shooting clubs of the United States at
a good salary. At the same time he
has been an active candidate for some
thing to his liking in official life with
the federal government.
1t is said that he recently explained
to Secretary Root that he had a con-
tract with the ammunition company,
but was in position to reject it if he
could secure the government position
But General Drain has sought to
climb in at the top in government
work and this up to this time has
seemed impossible for Mr.. Root to ar
range. The best he could do was to
offer the Shanghai post, which car
ried about the same salary as that Of
fered by the arms people. Naturally,
General Drain is adverse to moving
him family to China for a post that
pays but moderate salary, and he
prefers to remain with the United
States Arms people.
The indications are. therefore, that
General Drain will remain in charge of
the National Guard during the annual
encampment and until he can take the
expert rifle men to Seagirt, after which
he will be ready to hand in his resig-
nation
