who are investigating the murder Of DIR.
William H. Wilson. who died after drink
ing poisoned ale. believe they have found

tanned the ale was purchased. and with

thing to do with the sending of it. The
proprietor of the place says the bottle
was purchased June 10. seven days be-
fore DIR. Wilson drank the beverage The
woman. he said. bought six empty bot
ties and said she wanted to use them
for catsup. and did not care what kind
they were so long as the capacity of
eacn one was not more than a pint. The
description of the purchaser does NOT
suspected of being connected with the
crime.
Assistant District Attorney GRAY has
received an anonymous letter from a
woman who asserts that she can give
clues which may solve the murder of
DR.. Wilson. the victim of poisoned ale.
In the letter the woman admits having
had a. criminal operation performed and
connects the name of the physician who
treated her with Dr. Wilson. She saws
that DIR. Wilson and this physician had

she hints that this physician may throw
some light on the mystery.

AN IDEAL PULLMAN.

Conducted by the Civic Committees
OF the Womens Clubs.)
The Editor of the Herald has very
kindly assigned a space in his paper
to the cause of the civics committees
of the Fortnightly and Historical
clubs, and in it from time to time
they will attempt to state their ideas
upon how best to promote the interets
of the town, along the lines of beauty,
sanitary, ,corality and attractiveness
of every kind, in fact, as our heading
implies, we shall endeavor to assist
in bringing about an Ideal Pull
man, " We hope to escape the faults
of ranting and oversentimentalism, so
often charged to our sex and if we
sometimes take advantage of womans
privilege, and scold, it will be only
under pressure of extreme provocation.
Throughout the United States the
womens clubs are efficiently active
in civic work, and by allying them
selves to the side progress and moral
ity have been able to correct many
evils by arousing interest in their cor
rection, which is really all that is
necessary to the wide awake American
citizen of whom Pullman has its full
portion. Our first article will treat
of some of the simple things which
anyone can do as a prevention of Tu-
berculosis and will appear in next
weeks issue of the Herald.

COSGROVE TO TAKE
OATH AS GOVERNOR
May Go to Olympia to be
Sworn in.

Walla Walla, Wash, Dec. Ia. The
first authoritive word sent from the
bedside of Governor-elect Cosgrove
was received here today in the form
of a telegram from Howard Cosgrove,
his son, who was recently called to the
bedside of his father in Paso Robes.
Cal. The message states that the
family expects soon to announce that
Mr.. Cosgrove is able to walk about
unaided and that strong hopes are
entertained for his recovery.
"Father is better that he has been
at any time since he was taken i'll
following the state convention in May
He is able to take interest in Wash
ngton politics.
"He spent much of yesterday talk
ing over the recent political battle in
Washington and his plans as the next
governor of that state. The remark
able change from such a discouraging
outlook to such hopeful one is little
short of miraculous, and is undoubt-
edly due to a combination of many
things.
"At all times he has been full of
the belief that he would recover, and
especially determined to serve the
next four years as Washington's gov
ernor. Of course, father is still thin
and weak, for he has had hard cam
paign with this sickness, perhaps
harder than the one which ended Sep
tember s. 1t will perhaps take some
time for him to become as strong as
he would wish, but unless some un-
foreseen difficulty appears he will
soon be walking around Paso Robles a
much different man.
He has undoubtedly been greatly
benefited by coming here. AS for
the various conflicting reports regard
ing fathers condition which have ap-
peared in the papers from time to
time l would say that the reports
given out by DR.. Sawyer can be re-
lied upon as auhoritive. All others
are more or less speculative.
''They have been more than kind
to father here. Every day or so some
attendant brings in holly or manzita
for decoration and the room is kept
full of beautiful flowers. They have
given him thebest room in the institu-
tion and, by the way, it is the same
room occupied by Admiral Evans, who
came here for his health after leaving
Uncle Sans fleet last spring upon its
arrival at Magdalena bay.
Father may go to Olympia for in
auguration in January and immediate
ly return here until sunny weather
comes again in the north. Or he may
stay here in, taking the oath of Office
at this place. These are matters as
yet undecided" 3"
