Swan Before Him.

From Judge.
 Banks-I had a new experience yester- day--one you might call unaccountable. I ate hearty dinner, finishing up with a Welsh rabbit, a mince pie and some lob ster la Newburg. Then I went to a place of amusement. I had hardly entered the building before everything swan be- fore me.
 Binks-The Welsh rabbit did 1t.
 Bunks--No; it was the lobster.
 Bonks-I think 1t was the mince pie.
 Banks-No; I have a simpler explana- tion than that. I never felt better in my life. I was at the aquarium.

The Kansas Language.

From the Kansas City Journal.
 The 0ext time Kansas is assailed with the charge that he does not talk the Kansas language he can just cite this lullaby that the Raw Indians used to sing to their papooses and which legend has brought down to us, and ask if 1t would be sensible for him to use such jargon:
 She-do-shin-ga pe-she-wal-ly,
 High-e-ye-ye, high-e-ye-ye; hi-hi;
 Hog-e-i he-wal-ly.
 High-eye-ye, high-e-ye-ye; hi-hi
 Shim-me- -shin-ga yol-la-o; High-e-ye-ye, high-e-ye-ye; hi-hi.
 Hog-e-i hun-kush-a,
 High-e-ye-~e, high-e-ye-ye; hi-hi.
 Any white man that used this language would be sent to the bug house. The ex pression "high-e-ye-ye" had mo meaning It was simply an interlude between sen tences to keep the sound. However, ther' are some political speeches in this year of Our Lord that had lots of interludes between sentences 'just to keep up tho sound"

HOLDUPSSH00T
HIS HAT OFF
j. NELSON OBJECT OF MUIR
DEROUS ATTEMPT ON HIS
LIFE BY ROBBERS AT COR
NER OF DIVISION AND SHARP

Thugs and highway men are get
ting holder and more desperate. As
general thing they are content
with holding up and robbing peo
pie, but Sunday night one of them
shot the other, and last night J
Nelson, who lodges in the Big Isl
and house, was shot at. The bullet
knocked his hat off
About s o'clock Nelson was walk
ing along Division st. near Sharp
when three armed men stopped
him and ordered him to hold up his
hands. Nelson was so scared he
began to run and two shots were
fired at him. A few minutes after
ward man was seen to board an
incoming Lidgerwood car with out
tagging it. 1t is supposed that this
was one of the thugs.
When the police were notified of
the holdup by telephone Desk Ser
geant Fitzharris misunderstood and
sent the patrol wagon, loaded with
officers, to Division and Front in
stead of Division and Sharp. No
trace of the highwaymen have been
found. Nelson was too scared to
secure descriptions.

TAMALE MEN
ARE bAN|SHEO

One righteous Lot failed to save
Sodom, and naturally one righteous
tamale peddler is too much of mi
nority to save the rest of his kind
in Spokane. This conclusion is
drawn from the charitable assump-
ton that there must be at least one
righteous tamale vender here
about. But whether there is or
not, Chief Rice has Issued an edict
Of Punishment against the hot stuff
retailers, one and all, who move
about at night. The lid is on em.
1t is charged that various and
sundry composers of the tamale, in
moments not devoted to disposal of
their wares, are addicted to the
habit of depopulating chicken
roosts in order that still more corn
husks may be filled at a minimum
of expense. Other forms of depre-
dations are charged to their ac-
count. They are regarded with
suspicion and the police decline the
task of cutting out the sheep from
the goats. They are hidden to get
hence and infest the streets of the
City Beautiful no more forever.

SAY R0SEHAUPT
SKATERS TRADITION

Some of the old line republicans
are attacking the plank in Harry
Rosenhaupt's platform advocating
taking the tariff off all trust made
goods as means of destroying the
trusts of the country. They claim
that his attitude in this respect is
not what should be expected from a
republican and that it strikes al the
foundation Of the time honored re-
publican policy of protection. Sen.
Rosenhaupt claims that his plank
is orthodox republicanism and
points to many of the greatest men
in the party in favor of drastic
measures in dealing with the trusts
in an effort to relieve the people
from being compelled to payDexhor-
bitant prices for the necessities Of
life.

refuse TO CONSIDER
WATERS FIGHT

An effort to bring before the Gen.
trail Labor Union the grievance of
the walters against the bartenders'
union in retaining it's union house
card in the Madison hotel bar was
cut short on ruling by President
McCracken last night. A delegate
of the walters union asked If it
was customary for union TO keep
it's union card or label in any estab-
lishment after it had been declared
unfair to organized labor. He stated
that the bartenders' union had kept
it's card in the Madison hotel bar
Notwithstanding the fact that that
place had been placed on the I'M
fair list by the central body at the
request of the interested unions.
President McCracken ruled that
the matter was out of order and
claimed that it was in the hands
of the allied crafts for adjustment.
While this settled the matter for
last night there is possibility that
it will be brought up again before
long.

TWO CANDIDATES
FOR PRESIDENT

The Central Labor Union devoted
the greater portion of the evening
last night to nominating officers. j.
e. McCracken, the present presi-
dent, was renominated, and A. w.
Swenson, of the Typographical
union, was nominated as his oppo-
nent Much interest is manifested
in the election. Swenson Is recog-
nized as one of the most able labor
men in the city. He represented
the local typographical union at the
meeting of the international union
at Hot Springs, Ark, this year. He
has been an active unionist for
many years.
1t is likely that there will be a
bug turnout of delegates next Mon
day when the election takes place.

the House of the Good Shepherd.
Later she was released, but she
again disappeared and the mother
finally located her again through
the prosecuting attorney back in
the House of the Good Shepherd.
She claims that the girl was kid
naped from her this time by the
county matron, and firmly believes
that the daughter says she prefers
to stay there through some mys-
FERROUS influence interposed be-
tween her and her daughter. If the
girl were released she believes she
would come back to her home. But

REFERENDUM
FOR SEATTLE

SEATTLE, Jan. 21.-The initia-
tive and referendum amendment to
the city charter will be submitted
to vote of the people at the COM
ing municipal election, enough
names having been secured to Pc
tition to compel it's being submitted
to the people. All candidates for
office have been asked to sign the
petitions. This has been done as d
means of placing them on record
before the voters.
The direct legislation league has
also prepared statement of the
character of these amendments, in
which it calls attention to he fact
that they contemplate complete
revolution of the legislative branch
of the city government, taking
from the city council the final legis
iative authority and repoying that
authority in the people at large. j

Just outside the room where
these men court off the days and
minutes in trembling hope and
CHASTITY fear, stands the fatal chair
with its hideous panoply of straps
and bolts and deal dealing wires.
For the consideration of 25 cents
the state of Ohio exhibits this death
chair to the morbidly curious six

niacal shrieks ring through the an
techamber of death.
Six times daily these men die in
anticipation.
At first the sing-song tones of
the "lifer'' who manipulates the
chair for the amusement of the Gu
rious crowd must strike the acute
ly sensitive nerves of the condemn
ed like a redhot iron.
A woman may ask: Does the
electricity burn them? Can you
smell their flesh cooking?" both
common questions. The condemned
man must picture the deputy war
den at the switchboard, the grave
faced men come to see him die,
hear the sorrowing priests gentle
voice.
Strange that man should be so
cruel to one clothed in our com
mon humanity, who must live the
same life and come to the same
resting place when all's said and
done.
To the left of the electric chair
you will see a large board covered
with black cloth. On it are the pho
tographs of those who died in the
