Tell the ensign hello, and may God
bless him in all ways. Say, Captain,

them for the papers, and l would
very much like to have them. If
you would send for the Chicago

am feeling fine and praying to God
all the time, not only for myself but
for everyone, especially for you and
yours. When opened my Bible just
now the first thing I saw was the
29th and Goth verses of chapter

they were meant for me. Well, Cap

BACKED PLANET STRONG.
Now Mrs. Butler is Arrested-Sht
Worked the Old Time Game
On Realty Man

1t is believed that in the arrest #
Mrs. Rezecca Butler in Mendocino
county, California, the gypsy woman
who fleeced F. Uhl, wealthy
Naches rancher of $4,000, has been
located. Uhl has been vainly seeking
the woman for nearly year.
She worked the old-time game of
placing money on the favorite planet,
and on this occasion Uhl had more
than ordinary faith in the planetary
system.
Uhl at the time was dealing in real
estate on the west side and was
making considerable money. The
gypsy woman had something of a
reputation as palmist and Uhl de-
sired to dip into the future and now
knows that it costs so much per dip.
First he placed $500 to back the
planet she suggested for him but it
failed to win. Then went another
$500, then a similar sum and finally
it all amounted to over $4,000 and
the woman took to the great un-
known.
Uhl took to ranching in the Selah
and has been wondering where she
had gone. Sheriff Edwards has re-
ceived word of her arrest in Cali
fornia, and it is probable she will be
brought back here.

INJUNCTION PLANK
CAUSES MUCH WORRY
BRYAN TROUBLED BY
AN APPARENT DIFFICULT,
Candidate Informed He Had Been
Tricked and Plank Is Not
Worth the Reading.

FAIRVIEW, Lincoln, July 90
Influential eastern Democrats today
notified Bryan that in their opinion
the anti-injunction plank adopted al
Denver is hardly worth paper it is
written on, the reason alleged by
them being that the d. B. Hill bill
passed by the senate which is spe-
cially endorsed by the Democrats.
simply carried out the common law
provision granting a trial by jury in
contempt cases, "in the discretion c.
the presiding Judge"
The plank was drafted on the as
sumption that the Hill bill was
passed only after it had been
amended to make trial by jury
mandatory to the demand of the de-
PENDANT. While Bryan is reasonably
sure of his ground the allegation
that he and majority of the resolu-
ton committee be "treeked' has
caused him worry and he admitted
he intended to have an inquiry set on
foot. The Associated Press corre-
spondent this afternoon relieved his
suspense by explaining that advices
from Washington that the Hill bill
was finally adopted by the senate in
1896 provided summary punishment
in indirect cases of contempt but
made it mandatory for the court to
grant trial by jury in all cases
where such contempt is committed
outside of the presence of the court
and where trial is demanded by the
defendant. This was as Bryan re-
membered it and cleared up what
promised to become an awkward
situation for the Democratic candi-
date
The appeal Of Bryan to the farm
ers of the country for campaign con-
tributions is bearing fruit. Today a
number of responses will be received,
the sums enclosed varying in amount.

$4,000 DAMAGE SUIT,
Attorneys Ask for More Information
as to Injuries of Mrs.
Flanney.

The first papers in the damage suit
of Mrs. Evelyn Flanery against Alex
Miller for $4,000 damages for in
juries sustained in an elevator acct
dent were filed in the superior court
Saturday, when Englehart & Rigg
filed motion for more specific in
formation as to the nature of Mrs.
Flanery's injuries.
Attorneys for Mr.. Miller also ask
for information as to the employ
ment followed by Mrs. Flanery, as
she claims a loss of ten dollars a
week while she was recovering from
her injuries.
The case is one of the most impor-
tant damage suits that has been
started in the superior court, and is
the first to result from an elevator
accident in this city.

COMMITTEE WILL ASK
PARTY men TO FILE
Will Nominate Men for Every
Officer of District and
County.

Democrats of Yakima county will
name a complete party ticket this
fall for all district and county Off
ces, according to a decision made
Monday evening by the Jack Splawn
club. The meeting was held at the
farmers room of the court house and
was well attended by Democrats of
the city. The principal business ac-
complished was the naming of a spe-
cial committee to persuade good men
to file their nomination declarations.
H. ]. Snively presided at the meet.
ing and Warren Erwin was selected
as secretary. The committee to Sc
cure names for the ticket and to re-
port at meeting next Monday was
composed of Messrs. Winsor, Medill,
Talbot, w. F. Jones and Erwin.
Addresses We're made by Attor-
neys Snively and McAuley, Editor
Medill and R. Winsor, Jr. All were
optimistic of Democrat success this
year and believed the Democrats
stood a good chance of electing a
number of officers m Yakima coun-
~. The talk of not nominating a
full list for the county offices, for
the legislature and the state senate
was decried by the speakers, who
urged that there be not one blank
place on the entire ticket.

homes in the loss of efficiency of
every man incapacitated for best
work by his drunkenness. The
amount can not be stated in exact
figures. 1t is easily appreciated.
CD The city of Rockford paid in
the decreased trade of its dry goods
and shoe merchants, grocers, but
chers, and other tradesmen in the
smaller per-caplta-savings accounts,
and in the purchase of homes, the
total amount paid by the patrons of
the saloon for beer and whisky.
That is, the money expended for
liquors did not reach the bank, the
tradesmen, or the homes, save that
part of it used by the one hundred
to two hundred employees and pro-
prietors and their families. That
goes without saying.
co The city of Rockford also paid
in the charity" work necessitated
by the Incorporate habits of it's male
wage earners no small interest on
the $4,000 it got from it's saloons.
No effort has been made to state
in figures the cost to Rockford in the
matters mentioned in paragraphs A :,
5, and 6. 1t is unnecessary to do so.
The profitable existence of saloons to
a city today is a matter of mathe-
matics Their cost can be got at al
most to dollar. The aim of this
article has been to suggest the met
hod. There is no exaggeration in the
estimates. The voter business man,
in whatever city he lives, can deter
mine for himself whether the saloon
pays. He will find that it does not.
The moral aspect of the saloon is
not under consideration. Does it pay
the wage-earner, the home-keepec,
the taxpayer, the business man, not
the exceptional but the average, to
vote to license the saloon? If the
city of Rockford could levy an adj
ditional tax of $4,000 upon the
equalized assessed town value If
$9,226,062 it would only increase
the individual tax six mills on the
dollar. This it can not do, but the
tax accretion permissible would be
scarcely felt.
