And Crown Prince Are
Assassinated by RevO-
lutiOniStS at Lis.
bon Saturday.

LISBON, Feb. liking Carlos and
Crown Prince Luis PHILIPPE were as
sassinated today. They were shot to
death while seated in the royal car
riage, at Lisbon, after their return
from Villa Vicosa, where they had
been sojourning, by a band of men,
who fired volley from carbines.
The royal family was driving in
an open carriage, when a group of
men at the corner of Praca de Com
mercio and the Rua de Arsenal sud-
denly sprang toward the carriage,
and leveling carbines, which they
had concealed upon them, fired, NOR
tally wounding the king and crown
prince, and seriously injuring the
kings second son, Prince Manuel.
Queen Amelie, who rose in the car
riage and tried to shield the crown
prince, was unhurt.
Immediately the police guards fired
on the assassins and killed three of
them.

each nominee shall he placed under the

The primary ballots must be prepared
by the proper officers in the light only of
the official ballots of the last preceding
city or general election, and OF the elec-
ton returns for such elections. Said
section does not require him to look
further, or to ascertain whether such
parties were legally organized or not.
We believe that if, upon an examination
OF such ballots he finds that "any party
or group of petitioners" appearing upon
either of the official ballots of the last
city election, was represented on the
official ballot by either regular party
candidates or by individual nominees
only" and that any of its candidates or
individual nominees received 10 per
cent. of the total vote cast at such last
preceding general or city election, such
"party or group OF petitioners" shall be
entitled to separate primary election
ticket as political party"
We are constrained to hold therefore,
that if either OF the municipal parties to
which you refer-that is, the "People's
Ticket" or the "Cltizens' Ticket"-ap-
peared upon the official ballot at the last
municipal election and any OF their cam
didates received 10 per cent. of the total
vote cast at such election, they would be
entitled to a separate primary election
ticket as a political party.

ELMA, Jan. 30.-Clayton Tolliver, a
young man Of 23 years, met horrible
death at s O'Clock last evening at Lytle's
Porter creek logging camp. lie was at
work singing rigging, when an immense
log became dislodged on the hill side
above him and rolled down 20 swiftly
that he was caught before he could get
out OF the way, between the log and a

mangled
The log was SO big that it was found
necessary to hitch lead to it to get it off
the body. Tolliver was unmarried and
had one brother working in the camp
with him. Their parents live in North

will be shipped there.

RESENTS SCANDAL
HOquiam Reporter Gets
HOrsewhipped by an
lrate Woman for
Defa matOry
Stories.

HOQUIAM, Feb. Capt. Fogel,
formerly a sea captain but lately ma
rine reporter on the local daily, was
dblicly horsewhipped yesterday by
Mrs. William Betting in Fletcher's
stationery store for telling stories de-
famatOry tU the young woman's char
aster. The whipping was witnessed
by number of people who allowed
the woman to ply the whip without
interruption. Fogel, at the onslaught
started for the woman, but she piled
the whip SO vigorously that he was
forced to retreat and after chasing
him around a table laden with books
he finally got the table between him
self and his assailant and thus es-
capped further injury, although she
persistently tried to reach him by
striking across the table. Fogel was
talking to a friend when Mrs. Betz-
ing appeared and said: F..
what do you mean by telling lies
about me?"
Fogel started to reply but was i'm
mediately struck. When seen by a
reporter later Fogel denied ever tell
ing anything about the woman.
Mrs. Betting was seen and said:
81 heard he was telling lies and
running my character and 1 gave him
a good whipping. Had he not been
such coward would have given
him worse whipping, but he ran.
1 will make him publicly deny those
stories or send him to Jail. Fogel
thought had no one to protect me,
but showed him could protect my
SELF"
Fogel showed plainly the marks
left by the whip.

Persistent Cough. Relief Found
at Last.

For several winters past my wife
has been troubled with most per-
sistent and disagreeable cough, which
invariably extended over a period of
several weeks and caused her many
sleepless nights" writes Will J. Hay
ner, editor of the Burley, Colo, Bull
letin. Various remedies were tried
each year, with no beneficial results.
In November last the cough again
put in an appearance and my wife,
acting on the suggestion of a friend,
purchased a bottle of Chamberlain S
Cough Remedy. The result was in
deed marvellous. After three doses
the cough entirely disappeared and
has not manifested itself since"
This remedy is for sale by Evans

mrs. DELLA HACKETT FILES SEN.
SATIONAL COMPLAINT.
rtrs. KaCkett Charges Her Former
Husband with Horrible atrocities
and Asks for AnnuIIment of Di-
vOrCe. Says Her Testimony Was
Forced by Husband.

MONTESANO, Feb. IA petition
was filed in the court today by Mrs.
Della Hackett in the Hackett divorce
case, in which she prays that the de-
cree of divorce may be vacated, an
nulled and set aside and that the
action may be properly tried. The
petition contains IA pages of type
written matter besides copies of the
record in the former suit, and
charges that the decree was obtained
by her former husband, II. B. Hack
ett, by fraud practiced upon the
court.
The petition alleges that during
the last months of 1907 Mr.. Hack
ett continually accused her of illicit
relations with Harry Evans, which
she denied; that the accusations were
made persistently and hourly and
that threats were made that she
would be killed if she did not con-
fess; that she was compelled to go
into the yard and observe him while
he practiced shooting with an auto
matte pistol and that he frequently
remarked to her, You had better
kiss the kids, as you are going down
the road the hay comes over"
The petition goes on to state that
it finally came to the condition when
Mr. Hackett said to his wife, "If you
say again that you did not, l will kill
you," and thereupon the petitioner
said, "Well, Burr, if nothing will dc
you but that, must say yes, l can
say it,"
Then, according to the petition
Mrs. Hackett was instructed by he1
husband that he was going to OBJ
tain a divorce and that he wanted all
the property and both of the children
and she was instructed to admit hel
illicit relations with Mr.. Evans and
say on the witness stand that ii she
could not have her husband she die
not want anything-children OF
property; that the same threats were
used until she signed the deed con
veying her community interest; tha
during the trial her husband sa
where he could look into her face
and at the hotel afterwards she wal
ordered to keep her mouth shut ant
come and take care of the children
until the mother of Mr.. Hacket
should arrive; that she remained ;

SENSATION IN court CITY GOVERNMENT
BUSINESS METHODS Are RARELY
APPLIED.
Remarks Of william n. Allen In the
American Review of Reviews
That Nav be Read With Interest
and Profit by the CounCiImen of
Aberdeen.

Intelligent judgment about business is
rarely exercised except where it is easy
to obtain the facts as to business results.
Intelligent judgment with regard to
municipal officials and municipal govern.
ment will never be possible until it is
made easy for all who may be benefited
or injured by government to learn the
essential facts as to government acts and
community needs In business the essen
tial thing is not the name. the pedigree,
the complexion or respectability of the
manager. but the specific things that the
manager does. So in government the
indispensable facts are not the political
relation, the erudition, or personal char
ac,erstics of the official, but the specific
things that he gets done. the specific
things that he leaves undone or does
wrong, the specific defects OF government
that injure the governed, causing un.
necessary sickness, wretchedness. waste,
arrested development of child life and Of
community life.
For business. methods have been de.
vised that make it easy to record acts as
they occur, to classify them where they
belong and to report them regularly to
managers and stockholders. The appli.
cation OF business methods to govern
ment NETS U) the preparation of docu.
ments which may be used as evidence
for locating the responsibility for each
transaction, (2) the current filing and re.
cording of this evidence in such manner
that it may not be lost, (3) the calling
each act by its right name, az the plac-
ing facts of kind together in records ol
account that they may be interpreted,
and (5) the reporting side by side what
work is done and the cost Of that work
promptly and regularly to responsible
officials, to electors, and to other parties
in interest.
1t is easier for the same methods te
succeed in business then in government
because the parties in interest are rela

Where interested parties are numerous
business enterprise has ehown the same
defects as government enterprise insid,
information has brought inside influence

1.-THE city Of North Yakima is city of
