eyes, both my brother and / have
always been ready and willing to

she lived with us, and even now, she
constantly caused trouble between

was asked.
"Yes," said Mr.. McMullen, my
brother and I made up a sum suf-
ficient to carry her back to Nebraska.
where her husband is doing canvass
ing work, but she refused to go.
Her husband used to be a railroad
man. The year they were first mar
ried they lived with us, during the
whole of one winter, leaving when
warm weather came and there was
work to be done. And even then
her husband told the neighbors that
1 had asked him to leave, after he
had been with me all winter without
paying any board money"
Mr.. McMullen further said that
both he and his brother William
were willing to take care of her, in
spite of the fact that they had fam
lilies of their own to look after, pro-
vided she would behave as sister
should, and not endeavor to make
trouble among their families.
Mrs. Carey is said to have two
married sisters, Mrs. Coombs and
Mrs. Osborne, who are living on
farms in the Wenatchee valley.
Charles McMuiien says that Mrs.
Carey's husband has often sent her
money during the winter, as much as
a hundred dollars that he knows of,
and that she has also had assistance
from the church. And that he would
have helped her at any time had she
come and asked him, instead of
applying to the city authorities for
aid.
The two McMullen brothers were
in town Wednesday afternoon, for
the purpose of making some ar
rangements for the settlement of the
'mbroglio which has grown out of
he circumstance.
Mayor Scheble was interviewed
over the telephone last night and
said that he has just seen the Nc
Mullen brothers, who were willing to
buy a ticket for their sister, Mrs
Carey, and arrangements were made
for sending her back to Nebraska
at once.

The question of caring for indigent
citizens has involved the mayor, the
council, and the McMullen brothers,
fruit growers living four miles up
the valley, in disagreeable contro-
versy.
The World representative found
the whole story rather difficult to
gather, there being much o|nfiicting
rumor as to whether or not the Nc
Mullen brothers really neglected
their sister, Mrs. Cary, whose desti-
tuition forms the theme of this news
story.
The mayor and the council say
that Mrs. Cary has been neglected,
that she is in Strengthened circum-
stances, the mother of small chill
dren, and that it is incumbent on
the two brothers, not only under
natural laws but under section 376
of the State Code, to render her
aid and assistance. The brothers
say that they have helped her, and
are willing to contribute to her sup
port now, provided she conducts her.

from creating discord among their
respective families.
Mrs. Carey came here last De-
cember, from Nebraska, and has
lived in a small cottage near the
railroad yards. During the winter
months she became destitute, and
applied to the city for aid. AS there
had been some uncertainty as to the
city's responsibility for charity
cases of this kind, very little as
sistance was extended to her, she
being told that hers was an affair
for the county officials to look out
for.
asked for aid, Councilman Nichols
approached Charles McMullen, one
of the brothers on the street, and
told him that his sister, Mrs. Carey,
was in urgent need of the necessities
of life, and asked that he do some
things. Mr.. McMullen Immediately
went home, and secured large
amount OF supplies, including forty
pounds of beef and some vegetables,
which he brought in to his sister.
Mrs. Carey for awhile lived with
her brother, William McMullen, who
provided for her and her children,
without charge. When asked by the
World representative, would you
take her back now" Mr.. McMullen

Another Resident Opposes Barn.

Wenatchee, April Is, 1907.
Editor World:
1t would be an outrage on the
property owners of an already thick
ly settled residence district to have
such a nuisance as a livery stable,
built in close proximity, causing the
depreciation of full one-half of the
present valuation, and making houses
untenable as homes.
l believe if all interested would
make complaint to the city council
steps would be taken to stop the
erection of same at once.
To place a barn on the alley would
ruin nearly all the homes
on North Mission street, and de-
preciate the value of property for at
least three blocks, so let every one
register kick on the outrage and
nuisance.
Very respectfully,
L. H. BELSER.

Editor of the World:


Having been asked why | am op-
posed to the building of livery sta
Bile between. First and Second streets
| submit the following:
1st. am opposed because a cheap
building is to be built in a residence
district simply to escape building
what law .sluires in the business
district.
End. No man la; a right to erect
structure CT carry on business in
a residence district that will deprici-
ate the value of surrounding proper
ty.
3rd. BY common consent Chelan
avenue is given over to resident and
church purposes, allow a building
such as is 'roposed and the moral
right is taken away to prohibit a
nuisance in other sections.
4th. 1t is poor business policy to
arouse the opposition of the pub
lie, as will be the case if this project
is carried through.
5th. Civic pride ought to prohibit
such a thing on the part of any citi-
zen.
I am not opposed to Mr.. Miller
and desire to see him prosper. but

One of the liveliest rows in the
history of Wenatchee's breezy ca
reer is looming up on Chelan avenue.
J. A. Miller stands in the spot
light.
Mr.. Miller is proprietor of the Ar
row Transfer Co.
Some time ago he bought five
lots on Chelan avenue, opposite the
residences Of John Godfrey, A: F.
Anderson, ]. S. Mooney, and in the
same block with ]. NJ Duffy, j. E.
Mills, and E. D. Scheble.
He says he win build livery sta
BILE there, and keep horses in it.
Now horses have always been init
mately associated with milk wagons
and manure heaps, and other un-
slightly accessories, and the people
in the community are sore.
The residents of the threatened
district say livery barn built among
them will be a nuisance.
Miller says it's not nuisance, and
that the barn is going up.
Against him the execration Of the
residents of that aristocratic COM
munity are being leveled-but he
isn't worried bit. He says it's his
business, that he bought the five lots
stretching from Chelan avenue to
Mission street, and that he intends
to build a livery stable there in spite
of the anvil chorus of the people
who own homes in the. vicinity.
Yesterday the World published a
letter of protest from John Godfrey,
the county auditor, who lives in the
aroused district. So far today two
letters have come in, one from l.. H.
Belser, and one from Rev. Jessup,
which are reproduced in another
column.
Speaking to the World editor this
morning Mr.. Belser, who called con-
CGl Ming lut uucSlIOu,
1--WE just bought $4,000 worth of
property next to the site of Mr.. Mil
ler's proposed livery barn. If he
builds it where he says he intends to
it will be located just across the al
ley from my house, and within few
feet of my back door. Mr.. property
won't be worth a half of what it
cost me if this man carries out his
plans. Who ever heard of building
livery stable in such a portion of
city? Might as well open saloon
or start a brewery there. If he real
ly does what he says he's going to
do, I will offer him my property for
half of what paid for it. l have no
objections to Mr.. Miller doing all
the livery business he possibly can,
but he's running chance of queer
ing himself with his patrons in the
city by antagonizing them in this
way"
U. X. Lail of the Wenatchee Fur
niture company, discussing the que5-
tion with a World man, said, I'VE
built those houses up there for our
homes. II we had known that livery
stable was to be built there, we
would have put our houses some
where else. am very much opposed
to the barns being built there, or
for that matter in any other resi-
dence section Of our beautiful city.
| am not objecting to Mr.. Miller
building livery barn. only think
he should build It some place else. .

Hats That Improve With Aae.

"a silk hat, like wine, improves with
age" said clubman. The oftener
you have it 1roned the sleeker and
more brilliant it becomes. 1t costs q
good deal at the outset, but in the end
It is the cheapest hat to wear. 1t lasts,
you see, so long. and to iron it costs
SO little. Some folks think the topper
very perishable. If it gets soaked with
rain, If some one sits on it and crush
es it into an accordion, they think it
must be thrown away the same as if
It were a derby. But not at all. A
silk hat can be taken apart and put
together again like watch, and if it
gets crushed nothing is easier than to
melt off the silk, straighten out the
frame and then put on the silk again.
In England, the home Of this hat,
have known men to wear the same
topper for ten or twelve years. And
the oftener the old hat is ironed the
brighter and finer it shines. Its luster
increases with time and friction like
the luster of good antique furniture"

BANK SITUATION CLEARED
Interests Under Criticism CON-
PEELED to Withdraw.

New York, Oct pa feeling of
cOntentment and satisfaction prevails
in banking circles after the history
making Sunday meeting of bank pres
idents, which succeeded in finally
eliminating the HeinZe, Morse and
Thomas interests in certain of the
clearinghouse banks. 1t was gener-
ally believed that by this action the
cloud that has hung over the financial
situation has been dispelled and that
a more hopeful feeling would pervade
the situation on the stock exchange
and on the street.
Besides choosing the officers for the
banks in question and announcing
that each and every one was in a
solvent condition a most important
step was taken. This was the pledg-
ing of fund of S1O,000O00 by a score
of individual banks to extend aid to
banks and render such assistance to
meet their deposits as the clearing
house committee may think neces-
sary.
The meeting Sunday was the most
