Court
The case over the admission OF the will
TO probate Of the late John Greenop came
70 sudden termination last week when
the announcement was made that the
contest had been settled privately out Of

entirely upon the consideration Of evading
lDng and expensive litigation and del " in
closing the estate.
In consequence Of this adjustment it
will not be necessary for Mr.. Nichols, one
Of the attorneys, to 60 to England, and
administration of the estate will now pro-
coed without delay, the order of the pro-
bate court admitting the will to probate
being confirmed.
All interested in the contest are to be
congratulated on the outcome Of the mat
ter, which appears to be satisfactory tc
all interested parties, and meets the APP
prevail of Judge Of Probate Webster.

GOVERNOR vETOES STATE PRINTING BILL

ing would completely disarrange the
plans the public printer must formu-
late. This bill does not carry any APP
preparation for plant at the WASH
ington training school. The apprOpria-
ton for the maintenance of that in
Stitution will not permit the employ
ment of any number of expert wOrkmen
in the conduct of such a plant if it
were possible for the state to install
the same.
such a department at this institu-
ton would naturally be failure with
out adequate appropriation for equip
ment and without the support and CO.
operation of the printers of this state.
Neither this bill nor the Appropriation
for maintenance will permit the en-
ployment of any considerable number
of skilled Workmen at the school. The
class of work performed by the pub
lie printer requires but little unskilled
labor, which is the only kind the insti-
tuition has or will have to apply to the
printing department.

one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages, and
that is Catarrh, Halls Catarrh Cure

the medical fraternity. Catarrh be-
ing constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca

directly upon the blood and mucous

strOying the foundation of the disease,
and giving the patient strength by

The defeat of the omnibus game Dill
was almost a foregone conclusion from
the very start. although the commit
tees on game and game fish OF the
house and senate labOred over 1t for
more than five weeks. 1t contained too
many radical changes in the present
game laws to get through. among them
being the licensing of all fishermen
and fisherwomen over Is years of age
and the section which made person
who saw violation of the law and fall

and which also provided that in case
of conviction the informer was to re-

OLYMPIA. March 2S.- Governor

school. The veto message follows:
81 transmit herewith house bill No.
500. amending the act of Marcn II.

1T is assumed that this bill ema :
mated from the house appropriations
committee. 20 which committee was
assigned the investigation of the eX-
pense of the public printing; in fact,
legislation upon the subject matter or
this bill was suggested to such commit
tee by the executive This bill. how
ever, does not meet the conditions the
executive had in mind. 1t would not
effect any reduction in the expense of
public printing.
Under the present law the public
printer is required to maintain an eX-
tenSive plant in the city of Olympia
and to retain expert workmen in the
conduct of his department. The legis-
lature decides upon the amount neces-
sary for the public printing. A diver

TO PROTECT GAME IN. THE STATE

the protection of game under cOntroI

Of the county, was introduced in the
house. but died in the game and game
fish committee, never being placed on
the calendar. The smaller counties o:
the state bitterly opposed this meas
IRE. as did also some ofsthe larger ones
which have money saved as the result
of the game protection law. These
counties do not like the idea Of turning
over the surplus, to the state nor. the
proposition of having the commission
which would consist of the governor,
state fish commissioner and state fire
warden, name the deputies, who would
also act as fire wardens as well as
game Wardens.
Much of the opposition could be
traced to Seattle, however, where
Game Warden Ref of King county,
lives. He opposed the measure for the
simple reason that he would not be
named state game warden to replace
Beebe, who now holds that post. Beebe
was slated for the job under the new
system, and Ref, who worked for the

he wanted the bill defeated and by STIR

INSANITY SAVES HIS NECK.

being out all night. returned with a
verdict of Not guilty. on the ground
of insanity though five jurors fav-
Ored a first degree verdict.
The evidence that MacFeeters fired
the fatal shots was uncontradicted, and
the insanity plea was fought out by
the defense. on the contention that
MacFeeters became craZed through the
excessive use of intoXicants.
1t was shown that. becoming detected
by the death of his wife, caused by a
trolley accident. the defendant con-
sumed from one to three quarts OF
whisky each day.
But this was not the strongest point
of the insanity testimony, for Mac
Feeters' little boy. Bruce, swore:
Papa used to throw lighted lamps
about the house when he was drunk
and imagine the room was dark when
lamps were burning brightly
BY this verdict MacFeeters will be
sent to an asylum for the insane.

The SO called bcssemer process Of
making steel by injecting air blasts
into molten iron was discovered first
by an American named Kelly and
known as his air boiling process. After
the ironworkers had seen it done they
still would not believe it. "Some crank
will be burning ice next thing" they
said. Some of his customers when
they heard about it wrote Kelly that
they wanted their iron made either In
the regular way, and not by any new
tangled method, or not at all. When
the first blast was so strong that it
melted the iron the spectators roared
with laughter at what they called
"Kelly's fireworks and laughed for
ten years at his folly" When Besse-
mer introduced his process to the Brit.
ish ironmakers they, too, roared with
laughter at the "crazy Frcnchman"
and would not allow the silly idea" to
be mentioned in their records The
steel rail proposition excited only de-
rision. "Bosh! Stuff! Humbug! Nom
sense!" said the railroad directors
when ii was proposed to them. But
after one road had tried it the steel
mills could not keep up with the or.
ders sent in.
