Douglas Watson
Shows Undue
Zeal to Qualify
Prosecutors Think He
Intended to Try to
Save Boss Ruef

In view of the recent exposures con-
cerning the details of the Parkside
bribery deal it has developed that
Douglas Watson, the- young real estate
man who was closely connected with
the Parkside realty and transit com
panies, has been an object of more than
passing suspicion to the graft prose-
cutors. That this is so was due to the
fact that Watson was called upon one
of the several venires drawn for the
selection Of jurors for Ruefs extor-
tion trial, and displayed what the
prosecution believes was an undue zeal
to qualify as a juror.
Watson's prominence in the Parkside
deal, together with his appearance as
a talesman, has excited suspicion. Had
he been finally selected and sworn as a
juror his vote might possibly have de-
ciaed Ruef's fate. Already the Park
side deal was under the needle point of
grand jury investigation, and at the
time Watson was called as a talesman
it was known to the Parkside officials
that certain evidence of an incriminat-
ing nature had been secured concern
ing the Parkside franchise matter.
This was before Ruef confessed and
Nnd the grand jury Of his share in the
fafkside deal, which led several of the
Parkside officials to hurry before the
inquisitorial body with their explana-
tions of the franchise matter. but the
officials were aware that Rref NOS
sessed dangerous knowledge concern
ing the matter. To have secured Ruefs
conviction might have negatived the
effect of any confession he might SUBJ
sequently make. To have been able to
guarantee him an acquittal by the jury,
or at least to assure him of a divided
jury. would have been a lever by which
promise of silence might have been
secured from him.
This is what the prosecution believes

STORM RACES

Chicago, Dec. 14-One of the
most disastrous of early winter
storms in history swept the Missis-
'sippi Valley and Atlantic coastal
plain from Texas to Nova Scotia dur
ing the last twenty-four hours. Since
early this morning, New York, so far
as telegraph and telephone lines are
concerned, are practically isolated
from the remainder of the country
Leaving the American coast a gale
of wind, rain and snow lashed the
Atlantic as far as the British Isles
and wrecked shipping on both sides.
It then spent its fury in the north
Mediterranean, laundering fishing
smacks and small craft that were
caught unawares.
The storm prevails with great pres
sure along the gulf of Mexico. The
pressure extended up to tie Canadian
line, following the river valleys un-
til last night, when the storm broke
The extreme northern limit of the
storm was soft. heavy snow, the CEN
trail mixed snow and rain, and the
southern zone heavy rainfall.

HEALTH and
BEAUTY

A ripe tomato cut and rubbed on
the face tones and freshens the skin
and in some cases will remove yellow
spots, including freckles.
Cucumber juice is the best of all
bleaches for the skin. When cucum-
ber cannot be obtained frosh, ripe
grape fruit will be found a good SUBJ
stitute. Cut open and rubbed on the
face, it is tonic as well as bleach.
Copperas is a perfect disinfectant
and should be dissolved in boiling
water and poured down any of the
drainpipes about the house. Be
careful in pouring this where there
is white enamel, as it will turn the
enamel yellow.
Complete relaxation after eating
a suspension of mental and physical
activity-will favor the processes Of
natural digestion not only because Of
it's tranquilizing effect upon the
nerves, but because the stomach may
use the surplus unused energies of
the body in the processes of diges-
ton. Happy the man or woman who
can take an after dinner nap. It
means health, happiness and long
life.

At about five o'clock yesterday
morning while the pastoral village of
Cashmere was wrapped in slumber a
distinct earthquake came upon the
slumbering community without the
slightest warning, and for a period of
several minutes kept the inhabitants
in state bordering on terror by its

WIRELESS
COMING
Wenatchee to Have Free Exhibition
of MarcOni Wireless Telegraph
at the Theater

Invitations are out for a free ex-
hibition of Marconi Wireless Tele-
graph at Wenatchee Theater, Dec.
Is, 19 and 81. A full corps of the
company's engineers will demon
strate wireless to the Wenatchee
public for the first time. The COM
pany is now coming overland, and
will, no doubt, open early in 1908
stations between Vancouver, B. c.,
and Spokane, Wash, stopping at all
important points between the two
cities. Their station is now open
to the public in New York for mes
sages ac oss the ocean and we doubt
if any people in Wenatchee know
that for the last three years the
Western Union Manager in our city
has the Marconi rates in his book
and will take messages here at We
natchee for all outgoing and incom-
ing steamers equipped with wireless.
Their rates will be just SO per cent
less than the present rates charged
by the telegraph companies. Mr..
E. n Mayer, special representative
for the underwriters is expected in

Amos Gives His Experience.
Shortly before five o'clock l was
awakened by the sounds of a faint
rumbling which first took to be the
threatening undulations of thunder.
1t began first like the muffled roar
Of drums at a distance, and then in
creasing in velocity and power as
they came nearer developed into a
roar like a sharp report of artillery
in action, and then the earth trem-
bled violently and the building COM
menced to shake. At first 1 could
not figure out what was happening.
When dishes began to fall off the
shelves 1 realized that it was an
earthquake.
A. J. Amos of Cashmere is only
one of the citizens who were amazed
by the sensational event of the morn
ing, and though an earthquake may
not visit the village again they will
continue in the future to be the topic
of conversation.
