NO BABIES
FOR THEM

FOREST CITY, Ia, July 23.-If
the few dozen old bachelors and
old maids, who will meet here in
convention in accordance with the
call issued by Clinton Merrick,
chairman of the old bachelors
committee, had the deciding voice,
very few, if any, babies would be
born In this country. The conven-
ton is one of the oldest conglom-
erations that ever came together
in one place. Most of the members
of the convention are really old
bachelors and old maids with all
the peculiar and freakish notions
which many years of celibacy are
apt to develop In individuals.
There was some disappointment
that President Roosevelt had not
accepted the challenge or the COM
mittee to debate the race suicide
question with the ora maids and
bachelors. The meeting intends to
form a permanent organization and
to nominate complete state tick.
ct on a platform advocating race
suicide as condemned by President
Roosevelt.

COURT TACKLES CASE
OF COMPLICATED DOG

A handsome pointer dog was the
chief attraction in Justice Stock
er's court this mornin. U. M. Cos.
tito of 119 Nora avenue suspected
that someone had stolen his dog
and later thought he had located
it in possession of A. P. Johnson,
who said the dog belonged to Will
lam Hunter, treasurer of the Pa
cific Livestock association.
Costilo got out replevin proceed
ings. In court this morning there
was a formidable array of wit
nesses. A. P. Johnson said that the
dog was older than Hunter said he
was. Hugh Rogers, who owns the
brother of the dog, in court, easily
identified him. Mr.. Wheatfield,
who had shot over the dog on hunt
ing trips, told Of aan injured toe
of Tucker" the Costilo dog. A..
B. Jackson of the Burlington rail
road, gave expert testimony on dog
and knew something of Tucker"

R.R, SURVEYORS
ON SUMMIT

A company OF surveyors are
busy along the line OF Summit
boulevard near Natatorium park,
and gossip has it that they are
working for the Chicago. st. Paul
& Milwaukee. Other gossip says
that they are North Coast men. At
any rate the idea of having a rail-
road running along the side of the
Spokane river canyon almost under
the eyes and noses of the residents
OF the fashionable thoroughfare on
the river bank is not agreea BILE.
They do not care whether the
brand Of smoke to be waited across
their lawns comes from st. Paul or
North Coast engines, but they are
not yearning for putting locomo.
tives In that section OF the city.

dog. "T~WU
In the meantime the dog was
making friends with everyone in
the courtroom. He liked Costilo
and did tricks for him. He was
very amiable toward Hunter, who
said that he had paid Mr.. Atkinson
$40 for the dog last February when
he thought him a pup. Atkinson
said that he had been given the
dog by Carroll E. Hughes. Every
body expected to see Justice Stock
er examine the teeth of the dog
with sapient gaze when Mr..
Hughes testified that he did not
think the dog in court, the one with
the injured toe and the green spot,
was the same dog he had given
Atkinson.
That let Judge Stocker out Of a
personal examination of the dog
and all possibility of his exposing
his ignorance Of dog lore, and he
decided that the Hunter dog was
after all the Costilo dog, and gave
judgment accordingly.

SATISFACTORY BUT NOT
CONCLUSIVE

Returns from Saturday evenings
democratic direct primary election
show that in the cases of certain
offices the result of the primaries
was not conclusive so far as NOM
nations are concerned. Returns
are slow in coming in, owing to
misunderstanding concerning re-
ports and figures. The party lead
ers pronounce the plan an unquali-
fed success, but definite figures
will not be known for the whole
county until Saturday, the day Of
the convention. From present out
look It would seem that the votes
will make nominations as follows:
For sheriff, Peter Mertz, though
reports from the country indicate
that w. r. Parks may show up

James Low, his opponent. Jay B..

that they can place the blame upon
the shoulders of Cavaness and Nc
Gee, and therefore they have only
charged the advertising agent with
being a disorderly person.
When Blumenthal first came to
Spokane he brought with him rec
concentrations from detectives aat
Portland, Ore.
According to the police, Eta
Dunn, accompanied by Blumenthal,
Cavanness, MCGEE and Mollie
Dougherty, went to the Brook sa.
loon on Front avenue and Wall
street and while there told Cavan-
ness of the cache the Dougherty
woman had for her money. 1t is
suspected that while the others en-.
tertained Mollie Dougherty, one of
the men got the money. The police
are proceeding along these lines.
The cases were set for July 80.
