ROBBED WHILE
SUFFERING FIT

There are thieves who will rob
widows, blind men and children,
who will even pillage the tomb or
the church, but the man who will
rob the victim of an agonizing fit
has just come to light here in Spo-
kane.
j. r. Dalrymple, sheepherder,
was the victim. He is subject to
epileptic fits to such an extent that
he expects them as matter of
course and makes what prepare
lions he can to take care of him.
self when he feels one coming on.
Last evening he was stricken
somewhere on the street in dark
place. Before the attack he had
sos and a second class ticket to
Chicago on his person. When he
recovered he had nothing. Dial
rymple told his story to the police,
but of course, had no memory of
what happened during the fit that
would give a clew to the thief's
identity

| responding to the Sim Fein, Scot
land has the "Young Scots" league
with thousands. of adherents, and
there Us a growing opposition to-
ward the government of Scotland
by the imperial parliament. The
enemies of Great Britain who have
long prophesied the disruption OF
the empire may find. in this move
ment new evidence of disintegra-
ton. There is, Of to,fse little ex-
pectabion, even in Scotland, that the
imperial government will ever con-
sent to local Scotch parliament
but the growing spirit of discon-
tent and self-assertion is certain to
cause much annoyance to a govern
ment already overburdened by the
complex problems of world wiU
dominion.
"The imperial parliament is too
imperial" complains one of the
younger Scots. "It's time is
taken up with business from every
continent and colony. Scotland has
only ~ representatives out of go.
The pressure of other affairs makes
il impossible to attend to the needs
of Scotland. The house of com
mons, is blocked. The only and in
cvitable solution is a Scots par
lament. Such a parliament should
have power to make laws for Scot
land on purely Scottish questions,
and its executive should manage
the administration of Scottish nat
ional business.
And so the Scotch are talking
about Wallace and Bruce again,
and comparing their present state of
misery and oppression with past
seen through a golden mist of hero
ism and romance. The world at
Large, however, will be surprised
at all this ado. 1t is true that
the Scotch have reason to be dis
appointed over the defeat of the
Scotch land bill, and that there
cre doubtless numerous local ills
that the imperial parliament, with
the weight of half a world on its
shoulders has not found occasion
or shown inclination to remedy. But
1T is mot generally considered that
Scotland is suffering from such
wrongs as have long blighted Ire.

Iof parliamentary union two centur,

radical Scotch Nationalist, is not

What might have developed INTO
an epidemic of glanders like the
scourge which played havoc among
horses in Dayton and vicinity sew
eral months ago has been narrowly
averted in Marion county.
A short time ago two horses
owned by William Ward of Pros
pect were found to be afflicted with
rlanders of the most malignant
type. Only the timely discovery
of the disease by DIR. Wainfor, a
Prospect veterinary and by Or. H..
l.. Bonner, a Marion veterinary
headed off the possible epidemic.
Last week the st1te veterinary
was notified of the two cases and
one of his assistants, DR.. Lamb
was hurried to Prospect. He eM
amined the horses and declared
that they were afflicted with one
cf the worst types of glanders thai
over came under his observation.
He appraised the animals, one at
$50 and the other at $40, and
both were killed. The state relm-
burses the owner o. any horses
