liberal to tie state in the extreme. are
really high and dry, and nearly all
slcn lands are covered with valuable
zine timber. Everybody knows that
pine will: not grow in swamp. About
all the land the state will get is now
covered with water, because OF the
government dams and reservoirs whicn
have lacked up over the low lying
lands.
.The Indians have right to these
lands. and state officers should not at
tempt to work them an injustice by
getting lands for the state that were
not meant to be granted. still claim
that the department is wrong In al
lowing the state anything within the
reservation lines. That ruling has been
taken into court. TIE department put

SUES MAIL ORDER BRIDE.
Husband Complains That She Was Z
Fraud
(To be Continued.)

Washington, Aug 10. Without
questioning the satisfaction which
may attend other mail order business,
serious complaint is made in local
court against mail order brides. Clyde
l.. Williamson read advertisements in
western matrimonial paper and,
crossing his fingers, jabbed a, hole
thru the pages with a pin, and the
result being that his choice fell upon
a lonely damsel living in the Don1in-
ion of Canada.
Williamson now charges In his SUIT
for divorce that the young woman In
the case failed to give accurate and
full information concerning her fam
lily, her appearance and especially -
above all else-her disposition. 1t is
alleged that her disposition did not
come up to specifications, and this
failure is emphasized as the principal
ground for the proceedings.
The courtship Of the unhappy cou-
pie consisted OF an even 100 letters
which quickly passed after Williamson
replied to the advertisement which ap-
peared in April 1906. Williamson as
serts that he persisted in sandwtching
les concerning the disposition OF his
wife-to-be He did not see his pros
pective bride until November 10 last.
a few hours before the knot was tied.
Williamson asserts that his wife care
fully concealed her true disposition and
led him to believe that she possessed
most congenial and loving nature,
and that 1t would be her object in lie
to make her husband "a loving, USE
full helpmate."
Williamson declares in his petition
that he was grossly deceived; that his
wife did not come up to the specifica-
tions which she drew herself; that ne
had no opportunity in advance OF mar
rage to learn her true disposition, and
that they have found it impossible TO
live together.
"The suggestion Of fraud and mis-
representation presented in this novel
case has not been passed upon by the
postal authorities, and Williamson IN
his petition does not intimate that ne
will raise the question whether Uncle
sam has been derelict in not debarring
Mrs, Williamson from the use OF the
mails.

lrvina's Distrust.

In her memoirs Ellen Terry says
Of Henry Irving: ''Stoker and Loveday
were daily-nay, hourly-associated for
many years with Irving; but after all,
did they or any one else really know
him? And what was Henry Irving's
attitude? believe, myself, that he

Now, 1t happened that what the par

They approached him. Each took q

the few who passed did not suspect
what was going on, and the kidnap

drove him to house in a quiet street

doze when he started up. He heard

Pete, who had been brought up a
Catholic, shuddered and crossed him
self. He got up and looked at the boy,
who was sound asleep.
Half an hour passed. The watcher
was again doing when he was star
tied by very different voice from
Willfe's, mans rough voice:
"Come, git in therev'
Then there was clang and turn
ing of bolts such as he had often heard
In prison.
A cold sweat started out all over
the kidnaper. That voice never could
have come from boy five years old.
But where did it come from? Pete
sat on the lounge shivering. All was
quiet. The boy slept on, and after
awhile Pete lay down, but not to Sleep
He was appalled,. He lay trying to
think out some cause for what he had

When it came it was different from the
rest and far louder than anything that
had been said:

Pete jumped up, made dash for the
window and was about to jump down
twenty feet to the roof Of a neighbor-
ing building when, recovering some
thing Of his equanimity, he paused.
W1lne's voice followed the cry for the
police:
"say, you're poached on. One O. the
gangs told. He gets thousand"
This information interested Pete in

coming from his captive. What was
meant by one Of the gang? No one
was interested but himself and Gen.
tleman Mike. He wondered If Mike
had turned traitor.
The next heard Of these strange

was followed by the sound of heavy
boots climbing stairs. Pete ran again
to the window, jumped to the roof be-
low and gained the street by means of
water pipe.
Willie was awakened early the next
morning by the sun shining in his
eyes. He sat up and looked about him.
He didn't know where he was. He got
up, opened the door and went down a

II II is decided by the Attorney
General of the Territory that the cir

Mrs. Atcherley yesterday calling a
mass meeting of Hawaiians, contain
ed directly libelous charges against
Drs. Sinclair and Brinckerhoff. the
author will be prosecuted to the full
extent of the law. Mrs. Atcherley
refers to the two well-known NJ. DIS
as "limb-choppers" and speaks Of
them in other terms that could not
be exactly called compliments.
The general impression seems to
be that IL some summary action,
such as the above were instituted, 1t
would effectually put a stop to all
the complaints from Hawaiians who
really do not understand the true
condition o, affairs. but who take the
word of Mrs. Atcherley and her fol-
lowers.
