to them eight are now living. A

they have entertained many with
their singing.
On December 26th Mr.. Maxwell sent
to President Roosevelt a picture of

letter requesting him to accept the
same with his compliments. He is
in receipt of a letter from the presi-

Three Sets Terms
In Wabato Family

Henry Clay Maxwell of Wapato
was in the city Tuesday. Mr.. Max
we'll is the possessor of large family
and an admirer of the Rooseveltian
policy. There would perhaps be moth
ing strange in the fact that Mr.. and
Mrs. Maxwell are the proud parents
of eleven children were it not that
there are three sets of twins in the
family, the first pair being born in
1890 and the other two sets follow
ing in regular order at intervals of
four years each. The eldest were
born in Latah county, Idaho, and, be-
ing girls, are now known as Goldie
and Sylvia. The second pair were
born in 1894, boy and a girl and
are called Charles and Sarah, re-
spectively. The youngest pair, also
a boy and a girl, were born in 1898
and were named Elmer and Eveline.
All are now living and strong, robust
children with the exception of FL
mer, who died in infancy.
Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell were both
raised in the good old state of Mis-
souri,, Mrs. Maxwell coming from
Polk county and Mr.. Maxwell from
the adjoining county of Cedar. They

Yakima is Closed.

The first day of the Sunday clos
ing of saloons in North Yakima prov
ed to be bowling success.
Every place closed as tight as a
drum and the "bind pigs" followed
suit, it being absolutely impossible
to secure any kind of drink in the
city on that day. The sale of bottled
goods on Saturday was reported to
be fairly heavy, however, and it Is
probable that large number who
had heavy thirst were pretty we'll
provided for Sunday.
One result Of the closing was Il
noticeably smaller crowd on the
streets Sunday afternoon and even
ing, a large number of the people
who make the saloons their objective
point on Sunday evidently seeking
other fields of amusement.
This Sunday closing law is prom
ised to be a permanent thing and
the saloonkeepers evidently intend
to live up to the order.
No trouble was discovered Sunday
morning, the saloon men who stat
ed Saturday that they would keep
open unless they had official notice
evidently thinking differently of the
proposition when Sunday morning
appeared.

Rex Spray Company Starts.

INtA spray SOiuIitIiy otuTtS.
Operation of the Yakima Rex
Spray factory, located in the south
end of the city, is to be started to-
day, according to plans announced
by the officials of the company.
From the start the plant will be
operated to it's full capacity and it
is understood that practically all of
the product for the year has been
disposed of either to ranchers or to
retailers in the state.
The use of Rex Spray in the Yak
ina Valley by the various fruit
growers has been general for several
years and the opening of the plant
in the city by local company will
mean even larger use. There is
every indication that the concern
will be a big success and that the
local stockholders will find good
revenue from their investment.
The plant occupies the buildings
formerly used as hop storage, nu-
merous changes having been made
during the fall, the changes making
the building considerable larger.

CHOOSING SENATOR'S.
Democrats Have Plan for the
People,


Let all candidates for United States
senator go before the people in the
primaries, thus insuring the direct
selection of senators by the people.
Such is said to be one of the ideas
being advocated by number of pro-
minent democrats, and it is probable
that the matter will be taken up at
the meeting of the state central con-
mitee of the democratic party TO be
held in Tacoma on January 8
The general question o. whether
all candidates for election should be
recommended by the state conven-
tion before the primaries is one that
is also agitating the democrats and
it will be full thrashed out at the
meeting of the state central commit
tee. The idea is receiving support
from a number of the leaders of the
party, and it is probable that favora-
BILE action will be taken at the Taco
ma meeting.

Theodore Roosevelt president of the United States

in which he charged that Governor g. n. Haskell OF Ola
hona was tool of the Standard Oil company ana tnat
he had proven himself such tool by an attempt to orloe
the attorney general Of the state OF ONO TO DISMISS
suts against this thevng corporation
w j. BRYAN wired Theodore Roosevelt to submit
some proof of this danng assertion to retract It, For
mer Attorney General Monnett OF Ohio Yesterday issued

Haskell was one of the who had collected the Iund
which was offered him as bride. lie admitted that all
he knew of the was hearsay.
Last night Theodore Roosevelt issued fve-coum
statement DENYING that he had purpose accused Has
kel of completely in the Ohio scandal but accusing the
Oklahoma governor of being allied with the forces OF dis
honesty and corruption in his own state.
1t is an old game that this sklful politician IS play
ing Every cheap character assassin in the world when
called upon furnish proofs which he did not have has
responded by making other charges which he cannot sub
stantate Those who read Theodore Roosevelts two
statements-read the statements in FULL not the headlines
which were placed the statements by newspapers
whom craftsmanship has made bind-knows that only the
insertion of the word spurposely in Mr. Roosevelt S
statement printed this morning saved the president OF the
United States from convctng himself OF the charge OF
telling point blank lie for political effect Whether his
charge with reference to the Ohio scandal made pur
posely or not doesn't really matter; the fact remains
that made the charge and when called upon to sbsta
tiae it with proof he practically admitted that he had
none.
In order cover up this admission, which from
in lesser sphere of influence would be sufficient to dis
credit him. the president of the United States fills five
columns of newspaper space knowing full well that the
ordinary newspaper reader would only read the headlines
and to the conclusion that the president had pre-
scented damning proof Of the corruption of the Oklahoma
governor.
1t is easy to find reason why the republican party
seeks to make Governor Haskell this campaign
They know that in his state, Governor Haskell has
been the berest foe Of all that Tafe represents that he

candidate. 4
