This lady, who stated that she
came from Wenatchee, died i'm pover-
ty and neglect in the Wayside Hos
pital at Seattle. ne Daily World
has made an effort to locate her peO-
pie in this city, but as yet has been
unable to do so.
The name is not given in the direc-

Office.
The following article in reference

Wayside Emergency Hospital three
days after her arrival, December 10,
and a few hours after she had given
to the world little girl babe When
she died, Miss Catherine Major, the
superintendent of the hospital, wired
Mrs. Lees father, Dan Watson, at
Conconully, informing him of her
death aud that he was the grand
father of another child. But she re-
ceived the brief reply: BURY her
there" and no offer of assistance
either for a three-year-old child or
the last little one was made.

ending case that I have ever come
in contact with" said Miss Major
"Just three days before the poor wo-
man died she came to the hospital.
Her strength was nearly gone, but
she managed to tell us that she was
penniless and abandoned. She had

County Health Officer Gilchrist Calls
Attention to Untruthfulness of
Article in Record and Echo.

An article appearing in the Cash
mere Record and this week copied in
the Leavenworth Echo, which con-
tains a letter from some frightened
parents at Monitor, states that the
smallpox is spreading both at Moni-
or and Wenatchee. They do not say
spreading" but use the stronger
word raging" County Health Off
Ger Gilchrist, who was in the Office
of the Daily World this morning,
when asked as to the truthfulness
of the article, emphatically denied

Said the doctor: There are not
now and has not been this year but
three cases at Monitor, and these
are now all convalescent, although
still quarantined.
"In reference to Wenatchee, there
has been no danger of contagion for
the past two weeks, except from out
side sources, as all cases are now
under the strictest quarantine.
II am surprised that papers like
the Cashmere Record and the Leav-
enworth Echo would print such mat
ter without having first Investigate

Owing to the great interest that is
daily increasing in the coming presi-
Dental election, the Daily World
will conduct straw vote on the sew
eral candidates of the republican and
democratic parties.
The ballot will open Monday, De-
cember 80, and will close Saturday,
January 4, one week from today, at
two o'clock
All voters in the counties of Doug
las and Chelan are invited to cast
their ballot for the man of their
choice.
In this way it is believed that the
interest which is already manifest
may be increased. The coming cleo
tion will be most important one.
and from present indications the
coming year will see the greatest po-
litical battle since the campaign of

Concerning the lineup, there is
probably more discussion at the pres
ent time than there has been this
early in the season, for many years.

the railroads and other large corpo-
rations in a position subservient to
the law. will each have their effect
on the coming campaign.
In reference to the financial dis
turbance President Roosevelt, in his
speech. at Provincetown, Mass, on
August 20 spoke these words, which
in the light of present circumstances
are especially interesting:
''There is a worldwide financial
disturbance. On the New York
Stock Exchange it has been especial
ly severe. 1t is felt in the bourses
of Paris and Berlin, and British con-
sols are lower, while prices of rail-
way securities have also deprecated.
On the New York Stock Exchange
the disturbance has been particularly
severe, most of it believe to be due
to matters not particularly confined
to the United States and to matters
wholly unconnected with any govern
mental action, but it may we'll be
that the determination of the govern
ment, in which. gentlemen, it will
not waver, to punish certain male
factors of great wealth has been re-
sponsible for something of the
troubles, at least to the extent of
having caused these men to combine
to bring about as much financial
stress as they possibly can in order
to discredit the policy of the govern
ment and thereby to secure a rever-
sal of that policy, so that they may
enjoy the fruits of their own evil
doing. That they have misled many
good people into believing that there
should be reversal of the policy is
possible. If so, am sorry; but it

Death of Mrs. Mary King.
Communicated.

Having spent more than eighty five
years on earth. Mrs. Mary King, of
Hope Villa, recently passed quietly
away into the world of eternity. Two
weeks ago she visited her granddaugh-
ter, Mrs. Walter W. Webb, accom-
panied by her daughter, Mrs. Sallie
Kleinpeter. The distance from their
home is about five miles, but Aunt
Mary was accustomed to the ride and
was not tired at it's conclusion. Hav-
ing an attack of indigestion that
night, she was not as we'll as usual
the next day, but the following day
she returned home and was up and
about until four days before her death,
when pneumonia set In. Ali knew it
was more than her advanced age
could withstand, but her courage never
faltered, even when she realized that
she must succumb a, deaths victim.
She never lost consciousness, and died
peaceful and happy death.
Mrs. King was the mother OF ten
children, two of whom, Augustine
King and Mrs. Sallie Kleinpeter, sur
viye her. She also leaves to mourn
her loss fifteen grandchildren and
twenty great grandchildren.
She was member of the Baptist
church and up to her death attended
services regularly, even going often at
night. She was the Oldest lady il
this locality, but at that did not num-
Der as many years as Grandpa Bill
Edmonston, who will celebrate his
eighty ninth birthday on Dec. Is.
Aunt Mary was the wife of the late
William King, who died two years
ago, also at the age of eighty five.
These two lived together as man and
wife for the remarkable number OF
sixty-six years, and their married life
was complete in unity and love. They
were both natives of East Baton
Rouge parish, having moved to AS
cension in 1861.

A Good Citizen Gone.
Communicated

Fifty years, nine months and twenty
one days OF blameless and useful
life were surrendered to God on De
cember 10. Surrounded by a heart
broken wife, disconsolate mother,
weeping children, brothers and sisters,
the much beloved, genial Manager
John L. Landry of Riverside breathed
his last on earth where for twenty
seven years OF a useful life he had
pitched his tent
To know him was to love and to re-
spect him. With proverbial hospital
ity, the latch Of his door was never
closed. He was ever courteous to
strangers, smiling and true to his
friends and loving and tender in his
domestic ties. Loyal to God and to
duty, be died fortified by the last
saerements Of the church.
He was member of the Catholic
Knights of America and of the knights
of Columbus. May his brother
Knights be mindful of him now and
hereafter.
Death may sunder earthly ties, but it
strengthens the union of Christian
souls. Never having spared himself
when filial. parental and brotherly
love demanded sacrifices from him.
may the God of Infinite love reward
him with life everlasting We do not
die: We rise to higher life.

Immediately after the last presideptia

newed announcement was given oui
from the White House last Wednesd ay
night in the following laconic form:
On the night after election made the follow

II is generally regarded that this
emphatic repetition of a statement
that was too positive and unmfstak-
able in the first instance to be doubted
without rejecting upon the honesty
and sincerity OF MIR. Roosevelt, elimi-
mates him entirely from the pending
contest as a possible aspirant for the

free scope to the friends of Messrs.
