cial attention to movement started

The campaign is designed to be
general, and 1t Is expected that the
question will become a leading issue

tion will be necessary. The resolu-
tion follows:

the people by the local, state and ma
tional governments by taxation and
other means should be expended and
accounted for with as much care and
thrift as all good citizens expend and
account for their private incomes:
BE 1t resolved, That the following
provision on the subject of uniform
public accounting be made part of
the constitution of the state Of Wash
ington, and that the members Of all
local oranges and all good citixens
generally throughout the state be and
are hereby requested and urged to in
tsrsst themselves in securing this re-
suit: eFtoi ste nhsf1 at8+f u
1.-The legislature shall require all
money collected by taxation or by fees.
lnes and public charges of every kind
to be accounted for by system Of
accounting that shall be uniform for
each class of accounts. state or local,
which shall be prescribed and audited

Ghostly manifestations in the Heeter

venturesome persons TO the scene. Not
only by rappings in the house does the
spirit give evidence of its uncanny pres

die moves up and down. impelled by some
invisible force. while the water flows
freely. \ sound OF the pumping is heard
as ii on metal wash tub. ard kettles
rise from the stove. float about in the
air. and then return TO their places.
Charles Hitler tells of conversation he
had with the ghost, in which the latter
expressed itself by rapping. 1t said it
had been in the house eight months.
Now" said /. Il will begin at the top
of the alphabet and name the letters as
J go down. and when come TO the letters
of your name, in regular order, rap once"
said Hitler. When he came to NJ it rap
ped. He then went back TO the beginning
and when he spoke \ it raped again,
and so it kept up until it spelled the name
Martha Donald 1t then told, by rap
ping. of money that had been buried. and
said that if Mrs. Heeter would go out
near the barn when she was near the
place it would give three raps in the
house. Mrs. Heeter is iniirm and cannot
