KAUFMAN WILL
DECIDE TODAY

Today Judge R. Kaufman will
give his decision in the case of j.
c. Campbell and the Washington
Nursery company against Tim Kelly.
The plaintiffs asked that receiver
be appointed for the Yakima and
Wapato nurseries, of which Kelly is
half owner. 1t is very probable that
Judge Kaufman will deny the re-
Ownership, as enough evidence was
not introdue ed at the hearing yester-
day to warrant the appointment OF a
receiver. Testimony was introduce
ed by the defendant to the effect that
Campbell had made an agreement
with the defendant that the only con-
sideration that he should have for
an interest in the business that he
would give his services for the period
of ten years. Other testimony was
introduced to the effect that shortly
after the agreement was entered in
to Campbell endeavored to sell his
interest in the company. Judge
Kaufman stated that he would give
his decision today.

One great secret Of success is be-
ing ready for ones opportunity when
it comes. You can recall sometime
when If you only had had knowl-
edge of some subject (which you
might have acquired in two or three
months of spare time) you could
have made good in a much better
position than you now hold. But
the other fellow got it, and you said
it was "luck." But was it really
luck? Couldn't it have been fore
sight on the other fellows part? The
old saw says Experience is a dear
school, but some will learn in no
other" 1t might have gone on to
say that there are some who don't
learn even in this school. Did you?
Are you preparing for a better posi-
ton, larger field of usefulness tnan
you now hold? If not, you are dead
but don't know it. No post norton
examination is necessary; the under
taker has merely overlooked you. Or
perhaps you are in a hypnotic sleep.
Come out of it. Cast off your shroud
of laziness and inactivity and get
busy. Opportunity is out with a
searchlight Cooking for live men, men
who can do things. Perhaps you say
"But my circumstance" Fudge!
You are the moulder of your own
circumstances, and what's more,
you'll never succeed until you spell
that little word with two is. You
say, 81 would get an education, but

thing else" If you'll spell that word
"butt" and use it as a verb (word of
action) you will succeed. How"

CLERK ARRESTED.
Alleged that County Officer Embez-
zled Largely.

LOUISVILLE, KY, July 23.-Wil-
liam ]. Seminon, retiring county
clerk, was arrested today on charge
of embezzlement, being alleged sholt
in his accounts as clerk between $45,-
900 and $4,000. The arrest was
caused by Mayor Bingham and caus-
ed a great sensation. Seminon was
furnished a $4,000 bond.
Seminon's successor was appointed
a few days ago after his office was
declared vacant by the court of ap-
peals Phil NJ. Thompson, a new
clerk, checked up Seminon's az
counts with the result head book
keeper this afternoon declared a
shortage existed of over $45,0U0.
When Seminon's successor was ap-
pointed the former had just mailed
check for 81 5000 to the state au-
ditor for the month of June. A pay
ment on the check was refused by
the bank and Semiron declared pub
licly he had stopped payment when
he found he had not been retained
in office, his idea being to have all
the accounts checked up and to set
tie in full with a state upon his re-
tirement. Seminon stated tonight
the examination of his books would
show he did not owe the state over
$22, 1000, the amount of his pollec-
lections for June and July, for which
he had legal right to withhold un-
til he had been given his quietus
and which will be paid in full.

EXCELLENT MUSIC,
Yakima Hotel Has Orchestra Which
pleases Greatly.

A large number of people were de-
lighted last evening at the Yakima
hotel by the first music at that hos
telry when Signor Bistolphi and G..
Geuvesse furnished a number of or
chestra selection from $3.50 to IL,
which were greatly appreciated. Mr..
Schr oeder, manager of the hotel, will
try to make arrangements to secure
the orchestra's services for several
dSys. The music of last evening was
greatly appreciated and It Is seldom
that such excellent entertainment is
furnished.
Arrangements will be made for the
coming winter so that music will be
furnished at the Yakima hotel
throughout the season. The Spo-
kane orchestra will stop here for a
week on its way to Tacoma and the
Tacoma orchestra will stop here on
the way to Spokane. These orches-
tras are the ones employed by the
Norman brothers and are some of the
finest in the west. Music will be
given as soon as the grill is COM
pleted. About $4,000 will be ex-
pended ON the Yakima hotel i'm
provements to include a grill, a la
dies ding room, a gentlemen's din
ing room and when the grill is fin
ished it win be one of the most ar
tistic in the entire west.

signments of such produce on CON-
mission, that is, as agents. Under
the announcements of the firm in
dicted in your letter, they become
the buyers and are liable to the ship
per as principal. Every person ship
ping, however, should observe the
terms of purchase offered in such an
nouncements. They are one-sided.
1t is left to such buyers to Ak any
value they may see fit upon the
goods when received A shipper
could accept such terms of sale. II
he does the law is unable to protect
him. The commission merchant law
would not prohibit shippers selling
directly to firms where such firms
are the purchasers.
IF at any time It is discovered
that the announcements made in
such circulars are subterfuges for
the purpose of evading the commits
sion merchant law, the courts would
disregard the mere form and apply
the commission merchant law TO
them. Any attempt to defer the
time of fixing the price of such
goods in the first instance by such
firms until after resale by such firm
would be good evidence of an at
tempted evasion of the commission
merchant law"

worked desperately with buckets and
axes. About Is minutes after the
fire was discovered the Yakima e
Valley train returned from the
Naches, being held up at the bridge.
The bucket brigade succeeded in ex-
tinguishing the fire before the de-
partment from this city reached the
spot. Men of the brigade stopped
the hose cart on the way to the
fire and later met Chief Hauser in an
automobile. The fire engine was
way late in arriving at the scene.
The bridge has been repaired SO that

not been for the prompt and heroic
work Of the road gang and Mr.. Lam
caster no doubt the bridge would
have been total ruin.

Suspect Released.

Geo. F. Miller, the man arrested
Monday evening and held by the po-
lice on suspicion of being implicit
ed in the robbery of the three stores
at Gle Elum early Monday morning
was released Tuesday. Miller had
no difficulty in satisfying the police
that it was a case OF mistaken identi-
~, as he had postoffice receipts upon
his person showing that he was not
travelling under an assumed name
and thas he had been in Prosser the
day before and at other points east
but short time previous. plainly IN
dicating that he was travelling west
ward. Miller Is a skilled mechanic
but sells fountain pens as an easier
way to get along. and the possession
of a large number of the pens upon
his person made the police suspi-
cious that he had not come by them
honestly.

ARE DROWNED
IN EUREKA
DISASTER

After 80 years in which they had
not been on a vessel or on the wa
ter, Mr.. and Mrs. John E. Paul made
the trip on the steamship Columbia
which was wrecked off Mendocino
county coast Saturday night. and are
among the list of lost. Mrs. Paul Is
a sister of George Holder, the pro-
prietor of the Franklin cafe on the
West side. A Herald representative
called upon Mr. Holder Tuesday ev-
ening and apprised him that his sis
ter and brother-in-law had been
drowned. Mr.. Holder was much
grieved, stating he had read an &C.
count of the sinking of the ship and
noticed the names of his sister and
brother-in-law in the list of drown
ed, but had been unable to secure
exact information.
Mr.. Holder is heart broken. He
has not seen his sister for five years,
and has had two brothers and one
sister die within the past year. Mrs
Paul is a resident of Omaha, Neb.,
and came with her husband to spend
short vacation in Portland, and
then make trip through the north
west. They had made arrangements
to stop off at North Yakima and visit
Mr.. and Mrs. Holder. They have
been married for over 25 years and
: have lived in Omaha since they were
married. They have three children
living; one son travelling for Meyers
& Frank in Portland, and daugh-
ter and son living IN Omaha.
Mrs. Pauls parents reside in Oma-
ha. Mr. Holder has a son living in
Portland, but has not as yet heard
anything of the affair from him or
from Mrs. PaW's son.

RETURNS

A number of men are being sent
from this city for the apricot pick
ing at Parker Bottom. About 20
packers were sent to that section yes
terday by Harry McSpadden and he
states that there is a demand for
more as there is an immense crop
and the growers look for good re-
turns this year. They are paying
higher wages than ever this year
and there is a big demand for men,
but 1t is believed that local employ
ment agents will be able to handle
the demand easily. The picking will

Why Insurance Companies Discrim.
mate Against the Gentle Sex.


II one is to believe the medical ex-
aminers the reason a woman pays
more for the privilege OF l.fe insur-
ance is that she is more commonly
a victim of indigestion and stomach
troubles and the fatal ailments that
spring from these causes.
1t is not the acute attacks Of dis
ease that influence the insurance ex-
aminers alone, but the constant feel.
ings of weakness, headache, indi-
gestion and stomach trouble. These
things, physicians say, kill more peo-
pie than many of the serious diseas-
es.

troubles nothing else Is as safe yet

thoroughly relied upon to relieve all
troubles of indigestion, as Mi-o-na

Only Four More Days of the Contest

the opportunity of winning such
prizes should be grasped Immediately
and striven for earnestly.
OF course it is impossible to pre-
dict the outcome of the contest at
the present, as the records no wdo
not necessarily indicate future stand
ing and success in winning. The
subscriptions are coming in more
rapidly every day and the number
of votes which are going out as re-
serves exceed by three times the num-
Der of votes which are being cast.
Despite this fact, the daily increase
in the contestants is noticeable, and
the people all over North Yakima
and vicinity are watching with eager
ness the outcome of the race. 1t
is a good idea to poll a few votes
from day to day to let the people see
you are in earnest in the matter and
really desire one of the Herald prizes.

Sings Down a Panic

Accompanied by a faithful chorus, Scotti, baritone, calmly sang down what night have been a panic caused by burning Japanese lanterns in the last act of "Pagliacei in the Metropolitan opera house last night. Although it became necessary to drop the asbestos curtain to put out the fire, when the curtain was rung up a few moments after there stood Scotti in the center of the stage, surrounded by the chorus, singing as Justify as ever. When the flames were seen by the audience shoot. ing from the burning lanterns into the upper scenery, many women screamed and began to scramble toward the exits. There was a general grasping of coats and hats in preparation for nasty exit before it was learned that the fire was extrnguished.
 The fire started precisely as did the fatal fire in the Iroquois theater in Chi cago several years ago. In the last act of the play the scenery consisted of a mimic stage back of the real stage. In front of and above the mimic stage was row of about twenty Japanese Ian terms lighted by electricity. Presum- ably because of short circuit one of the lanterns caught fire and in a few seconds others were burning and send ing flames into the scenery above.- New York Press.
