Mr.. Aitkin has made money for bis
company and money for his bank but ii
has all been legitimate and clean money
not one cent having been wrung from
the distressed and poverty stricken--the
pauper and the widow.
MIR. Aitkin proposes an amendment
forcing the state treasurer 70 deposit the

may be barking back 10 the days OF the
ancient Spartans, but it is honest and

Tom Johnson. The second ticket had
for its standard bearers. DIR. ]. +. Wood.
Chas. Brown aud Frank pliter. When
the ballots were counted IL was found
that DE-. Mann bad defeated Chas.
Brown by the small margin OF two votes.
Edgar Moore won out over DR.. Wood by
six votes. Tom Johnson received 100
votes and Frank Pliter 80. TIE candid.
acy OF Mr.. Pliter was hnrt considerably
by the rumor which gained general cir
cnlation oD Monday that ne would de-
cline TO serve II elected. Elgin Myers
received l45 votes, the highest number
east for city eOuncilmen. Edward Damn
had no opposition Tor Mayor and WAS re.
elected. There we're nearly 200 votes
cast IN all. The fight against the fret

AS CHRIST WOULD

mess principles, was the terse re-
mark made by Rev. 5. b. Dillon,
when aked whether he was going to
run tine new grocery his church will
establish, like Christ wonld." or as
a business man. The minister is be-
hind project to turn the old church
building into a grocery store and reap
the profits to help pay for new edi-
fee they erected last fall.
This running things as Christ
would Is a misnomer," he continued.
"Christ would have run any business
right up to its limit TO make as much
money out OF it honestly and honor
ably as possible. The Lord put peo-
pie on earth to help themselves, not
to graft and gobbIe, but to make
their own way. and the man who
waits for the Lord to come along

MAKE SEAWEED
INTO MARMALADE

Seattle, June 6.-The kelp which
cutters the beaches of Friday Har.
Dor and other points down the Sound
il to be concerted into citron preserves
and maj malades by process recent
Iy invented by Prof. Theodore Frye
of the department of botany at the
University of Washington and Prof
Edward Magnusson of the department
of electrical engineering.
The process has been perfected and
the lovers of sweets among the stud
ents who have b ell allowed to taste
the products pronounce them at least
equal to the genuine articles that
their mothers make at home.
Application has been made for a
patent upon the process which is a
chemical one, and steps taken for the
formation of a company TO undertake
the conversion OF the uDsuspecting
kelp into table telicacies upon a large
scale. Local grocers are being inter
ested in the undertaking and it is
expected that as soon as the patent
has been allowed the formation of q
company will be announced.
The greatest difflculty which the
two scientists encountered in their
work was 10 extracting the bitter
taste from the seaweed. For time
this tang overpowered all efforts at
sweetenti and threa tened to balk
their ideas. AT last. however, a
chemical was discovered which coun.
teracts this and now ali is reported to
be lovely.
The new brand of scientific pre-
serves is expected to shortly decorate
the DINING tables of Seattle hostesses.

Boys ARM GOES INTO
BEEF FOR THE SOLDIERS

Chicago, June 6.--That boys arm
was torn from the body, ground UP
with decayed meat, canned and sent
to Cuba to feed tue soldiers fighting
for the United States flag is the di.
rect charge made by Attorn.y James
7. Brady against Libby. McNeill and
Libby, packers.
The story he says, is a matter of
court record.
John Kearney, 524l Haistead street,
is the boy whose ann vert iuto can

tion," SAYS Mr.. Brady, and shipped
back to the packers.
The packers, according to the law
yers, gave orders that the whole train
load of bad beef be ground up fol- can
hug purposes.
'Oi ders were given, said MIR.
Brady, to make the greatest possible
haste in grinding rhe beef, for the
government inspectors : were expected
to visit the plant next day.
They had but one day to get the
train load of beef converted. In tn e
great rush Kearney was taken off bis
regular work and put at the new and
dangerous work of tending the meat
grinder.
1.-The boys har was caught by the
grinder. Before aid could come the
arm was torn from the socket and car
ried into tie machine
One would think that the most ord
mary instincts of humanity, the
slightest feelings for oeceney would
have resulted in the stopping of the
machine, and the gathering of the
mangled member of the boys body
from the meat, but the lvwyerys says,
NO" He makes this direct charge.
The foreman gave orders that the
machine be not stopped for an IL
slant. The arm went into the chopped
meat, without an effort being made
TO rescue 1t.
The packers, it is added, won in
their heartless race for dollars When
the inspectors came the next day the
traiE of rotten meat was Safely seour-
ed in cans for the soldiers-and the
boys arm also.
