KILL OFF COYOTES !.

WENATCHEE, Nov. 10.--About
80 coyotes and numerous jack
rabbits were slain in the great
drive yesterday over HelIs Half
Acre that was participated in by
scores of local people besides
members of the lodge of Elks from
Everett and parties from Seattle
and Tacoma. The phalanx swoop-
ed down upon the field shortly after
s o'clock and by evening the
animals had been driven into a
bend in the Columbia river, where
the slaughter occurred.
Owing to the wide sweep of

many OF the coyotes escaped.
In the evening the hungry hunt
ers were entertained at a supper
by the local Elks.

You live in a steam heated
flat you are in imminent

Affections.

Tests made by the health
department show the aver
age humidity of the steam
heated flat to be 80 per cent.
while that of the great out

cent.
THE dry air of the steam
heated flat dries the mucous

GREATEST MORAL1V1CTORY''
REMARKABLE STORY OF HOW

ELECTED THE WORLD FAM
Gus CHILD'S JUDGE AND
FRIEND AGAINST CORRUPT
POLITICIANS.

DENVER, NOV. 1O.-Politicians
are aghast, corporations manipu-
lators are bewildered and the
mothers of Denver are supremacy
happy in the magnificent victory
won by Judge Ben B. Lindsey of
the juvenile court.
Without a campaign fund, with
only volunteer organization, the
father of the juvenile court"
waged battle against a big corrup-
ton fund, against ballot law con-
trived to brighten the Independent
voters, against two party machines
and not only won, but received a
majority Of all the votes cast.
The judge gives great praise to
organized labor, which entered
heartily into his fight, and to the
women of the city for their work in
his behalf.
The election Itself was a vindica-
ton of woman's suffrage as applied
to the plain, ordinary housewife,
for in the fight which he won the
club women-the leaders in per-
functory philanthropies, the exclus-
ives--had little share. They were
divided by political partizanship
and some of those whose names
are known abroad, in clubdom.

dare to enter the Lindsey fight be-
cause Of the fact that they and
their husbands had Investments in
public utility corporations which
had decreed his determination.
Where the club leaders quit, the
woman from the humber home,
with no pretensions of club culture,
took up the fight and spent days in
the effort to arouse public opinion.
Similarly, the victory belongs to
the plain people of the pews, not to
the pulpit, for out of the hundreds
of ministers of the city. only
score, and these from the smaller
churches, entered the battle.
Lindsey had made many enemies
among politicians, some of whom
he had sent to Jail for grating and
most of whom he had denounced
for working against popular gov

But it was the big public utilities
who fought him hardest, and to e.

was strong enough in both parties
to prevent Lindsey's nomination,
and he boosted that no man could
run independently and be elected.
Lindsey carried his fight to the
people.

This Is probably the most salts

An aggressive campaign Is a win

No matter how brilliant and sue
