RUN FOR
GOVERNOR

OLYMPIA, March 20.-That Gov
ernor Mead is saved from contest
ing for reelection with A. J. Fal-
coner, speaker of the house. is in
dicated in point raised on the re-
cent increase of salaries authorized
for the governors and other state
offices. According to the state con-
stitutiOn no member of a legisla-
ture that creates an office or in
creases the salaries thereof is
eligible during his term to election
to one of these offices. Falconer,
as member of the house, and
Paulhamus and Poison, of the SEN
ate, are all barred by this section.
OF the three, Faleoner was the
most formidable opponent of Mead,
in fact his nomination and election
seemed certain on account of the
record he made as speaker of the
house.

, est gold note was $50. But there
is about $165,OOO,OOO of free gold
in the treasury, and the new $40
gold notes will be issued against
this.
The present $40 United States
note, known as "greenbacks" will
be retired as fast as they come in
There are about 1854 100000 of
these in circulation In place of
them. S. greenbacks will be put
cut, thus doubling the number of
IS bills. The present S. bills,
which are mostly silver certificates,
will be retired as fast as they come
in. and will be replaced with silver
certificates of the 81 and 81 de-
nominations, thus greatly increas-
ing the number of ones and twos
in circulation. There is also
paragraph in the bill authorizing
the secretary of the treasury, in his
discretion, to order customs collec-
tors to deposit customs receipts in
banks which are designated gov
eminent repositories" This pre-
vents the money being tied up tenn
porarily in the sub-treasuries, and
is the feature which is being used
to help Wall st. in the present

following way. National banks are
authorized by the new law to retire

WIFE Beaten BEATEN

WINLOCK, Wash, March 90
Enraged by thee ruel manner in
which e. c. Cotteral treated his
wife, citizens of this place turned
out in force last night, stormed the
jail, dragged him out and gave him
an unmerciful horsewhipping.
When first arrested for wife beat
ing he was released in order that
he might secure bail. He was
speedily rearrested for striking his
wife in the face because she would
not furnish the bail. This was too
much and the citizens took the law
in their own hands.

He exhibited letters from the New
