Webster's Compliment.

While it is we'll known that Daniel
Webster in speaking of General Tay-
lor's candidacy for the Office of presi-
dent pronounced it "a nomination not
fit to be made" he never failed to do
justice to the generals military abil-
tiles and eminent service in the fell.
On one occasion he paid the old SOL
der delicate aad well deserved COM
pliment. General Taylor was CON-
planning of the crowds of people who
daily besieged him soon after his as
cession to the presidency.
"They interfere" he said. with my
official engagements and violate my
domestic retirement, but still do not
wish to turn my back upon my
friends"
"You never did upon your enemies,
general" Mr.. Webster instantly re-
piled.

JAY HOLCOAIB GETS $500
For Injury in the Wenatchee Plan.
ing Mills Last Fall.

Jay Holcomb, a seventeen year old
boy of this city, who was injured
in the Wenatchee Planning Mills last
August, has just received $500 dam
age from the Spokane Casualty COM
pany.
The Spokane Casualty company
insures the Wenatchee Planning Mills
company against damage suits in
case of accidents. The suit was filed
against them recently and instead of
contesting the same they have filed
their consent to pay the amount
asked.
The injury for which the youth
sought to recover damages occurred
while he was working for the COM
pany and was due, he claims, to the
fact that proper guards were not
provided for the saws.
