There exists. in other words, In Arrhen-

matter In the universe. The meteoric dust
falling today through our atmosphere is
a compound projected not from our sun
alone. but from many other suns many
light years ago. A portion at least OF the

WILL TEST ORDINANCE.
Aberdeen Transfer Co. Claims It is
Being Unjustly Disseminated
Against.

Street Commissioner Hits notified
the Aberdeen Transfer Co. Friday
that the concern must give a bond
to the city, to indemnify for any
damage done the streets, before haul
ing consignment of wire cable for
the S. B. Hicks Sons Co. This the
company refuses to do.
j. =. Bennett, manager of the
company, this morning had papers
served upon the city giving notice of
asking the superior court to enjoin
the city from enforcing the ordin-
ance limiting the weight of loads
allowed hauled on the streets to T.
900.
Mr.. Bennett thinks he is being dis
criminated against, and says that
when a rival transfer company had
the hauling of wire cable no objec-
tion was made by the street commits
sioner, but since his company secured
the business that official has been
trying to make trouble.
AS the ordinance expressly pro.
vides that it shall not apply to the
hauling of such heavier articles as
cannot be divided, it does not ap.
pear that it's provisions apply to
spools of wire cable. However, Mr..
Bennett proposes to test the matter
in the courts.

MUST NOT COMBINE.
Seattle Dairyman Is Convicted OF
Combining With Others to Raise
Price of Milk.

Seattle, May 3O.-A. z. Erickson,
the reputed head of the so-called
milk trust in Seattle, was found gull
ty of conspiracy tonight by jury in
the superior court. The case has
been on trial for several days and
was fought vigorously by the COM
bine. The testimony for the prose-
cutiOn tended to show that Erickson
and seven or eight other dealers ar
bitrarily raised the price of milk
from 1 cent per quart up. Their IT.
onclad agreement carried with 1T the
stimulation that any dissatisfied GUS
toner on leaving his or her regular
milLman could not receive service at
the hands of another dealer.
Assistant Prosecuting Attorney
George F. Vanderver told the jury
in his closing address that If they
brought in a verdict OF guilty II
meant that every combination in King
county that had to do with the fixing
of artificial prices on the necessities
of life would be prosecuted and con-
victed if possible. The jury was as
sured that this was but the begin
ming of the fight, and if they failed
to convict it would be useless to be-
gin other actions for conspiracy.
The offense charged against Mr..
Erickson is a common law offense
and is punishable by the same penal
ties as a misdemeanor. He can be
fined up to a maximum of $500 or
imprisoned in the county jail for as
long a term as one year, or both.

CURRENCY BILL PASSED.
First Session of the Sixtieth Congress
Adjpurns-La Follette's Fill
buster Ends Suddenly.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 30
Just ten minutes, officially, before
the hands of the big round clock in
the chambers of the two houses
pointed to the hour of midnight, the
first session of the Goth congress
came to a close. In the house the
closing hours were marked by the
singing of songs by republicans in
honor of Speaker Cannon and by the
democrats in the interest of w. j.
Bryan. The excitement was great at
times, but it finally subsided and the
session closed with good fellowship
among members.
The senate was extremely quite
during the closing minutes of the ses-
sion, held together by the necessity
of remaining in session for the en-
crossing and signing of bills. The
last day of the senate will be memor-
able on account of the filibuster of
La Toilette, Stone and Gore against
the emergency currency bill, by the
remarkable Interpretation of rules
which will go far to establish the
cloture in body noteworthy for
freedom of debate and by the final
passage of the currency bill. Presi-
dent Roosevelt and several members
of his cabinet were in the capitol
during the evening.

JOSEPH B. EGERER Meets SUDDEN
Death while CRUISING.
well Known Timberman is Seized
With AppOpIexy While CRUISING
Timber up the WiShkah River
Thursday, and Immediately Ex.
PireS. Remains Taken East.

Aberdeen was shocked Thursday
evening when word was received that
j. b. Egerer had died suddenly that
afternoon in the woods above the
camp of the o. X. Logging Co. Con-
stable Dean and S. A. Randolph left
for the scene and returned with the
body, arriving here about 9 o'clock
Friday morning.
Mr.. Egerer and Dan McGilicuddy
were cruising tract of timber land
and at noon had stopped for lunch.
After eating, Mr.. Egerer was smok-
ing and talking to McGillicuddy,
when suddenly his young companion
observed him grow pale and look
strangely, and sink to the ground.
McGillicuddy caught him in falling
and laid him down gently and ran
for water, which he dashed on his
face. Opening his shirt, he found the
heart had ceased beating, and that
his cheerful companion of few mo-
ments ago had passed to the great
beyond.
Young McGillicuddy covered the
body with boughs, and started for the
camp of Larkin Bros, where he
found Chas Larkin, who brought the
sad intelligence to the city, and kind
friends were allotted the task of in
forming the wife and son of their
bereavement, and Messrs. Randolph
and Dean started up the river for the
remains.
Mr.. Egerer was life member of
the Elks, which order looked after
the arrangements for the shipment of
the body to Saginaw, Michigan, for
burial, and escorted the casket to the
train Saturday morning.
Mr.. Egerer was s. years of age He
was born in Saginaw, Mich, and
came to the Harbor first about IS
years ago. Since that time he has
made many trips to the Harbor
country, having been connected VI ith
Congressman FOrdney in timber deals
in this district. For the past eight
years he has lived in Aberdeen with
his family and has dealt largely in
timber.
Mr.. Egerer was very popular in
Aberdeen, and has made host of
friends all over the Harbor. His
death came as surprise to his many
friends as they had never heard him
complain of any ailment, and he was
considered by all in good health.
He is survived by Mrs. Egerer and
one son, Warren, in Aberdeen, and by
his father and mother, and a BROTH
er and sister living in Saginaw.
