Through Love.

Mrs. l.. V. Mccoy, a mulatto, was
shot and killed at 100 o'clock Sun
day afternoon by Mortimer Moore, a
negro who claimed to have been con-
verified under her teaching at a Cos
pei mission several years ago. Moore
was jealous because the woman was
to marry +. 7. Clifford, who had
started her in business at the Ere
mont lodging house, where the MUIR
der took place.
Moore then ended his own
life by taking carbolic acid. No one
saw him take the fiery fluid, but he
took it as he ran toward the court
house, where he gave himself up.
Stretched on the stone floor of the
hallway, he died ~ minutes after
killing the woman.
The Fremont house is near the de-
pot and the vicinity was crowded
with people waiting for the train and
on the way home from church
/ Crowds surged through the streets,
and Joined in pursuit when the kill
ing had become known, but few saw
Moore as he staggered to the court
house. He asked r. NJ. Phillips, the
physicians were summoned
Chief of Police Nels Short was one
of the first to arrive at the scene. He
was hot on the trail of the negro i'm
mediately after the shooting and ar
rived at the Jail in time to see him
die. Had the negro failed to poison
himself Chief Snort would have had
the credit of the ~rrest, as ne fol-
lowed the man closely.
Mrs. Mccoy had just prepared the
midday meal and called her daught-
er. Mrs. Neata Vierow, who started
with her baby in her arms Just
then Moore stepped into the door /.

the death of her husband in 1908
she had made her home with Rev.

was a woman OF great force Of char

Like Dorcas Of old her life was full
Of good works and aims deeds that
she did. Being q great reader she
never grew old in her thoughts or
feelings, but kept posted on all the
important questions Of her time. Her
grandchildren were her great pride
She entered into ali their plans and
pleasures and made them her own.
She has taken great interest and
pleasure in our Woman 5 Missionary
Union, and is the first to be called
to her reward from our society since
its organization
Grandmas busy hands are folded.
And her tired feet at rest;
All her toll and care Is ended,
And She lives among the blest.
Life for her was full Of sorrow,
But she saw the brighter side;
Never anxious for the morrow,
Tho oft she rowed against the tide.
The old arm chair is vacant.
We shall see it oft through tears;
Where she sat beside the easement
Sewing, reading, praying, all these
years
Lord let her mantle fall on US.
Who still must work and bear the
cross;
Save us richly by Thy grace
Till we shall meet her face 10 face.
Servant of God well done;
Rest from thy loved employ;
The battle fought the victory won.
Enter thy Masters JOY

zone moment exclaimed S.
Washburn, jumping to his feet. "Mr.
Mayor, | want to say word here.
The statement just made is not true.
l never buried a horse and received
$500 for it, nor have | sold any junk
and kept the money, and any state
ments to the contrary are unfair"
The remarks followed closely on
the statements from II. Null relative
to no money being turned in by the
scavenger department for junk, while
prior to the department being placed
in present hands from five to eight
dollars were turned in each week.
Null said he knew of horse being
buried for which Washburn had re-
ceived $500 that had not been
turned in. Washburn said he had
buried the horse for two men on the
promise that they would pay him
$500, but they had not done so. He
said E. w. Dooley had given the men
the money to bury the horse. Null
came back with the remark that
Dooley had told him of paying Wash
burn the $500. and he believed his
words as good as the next mans. The
argument was squelched at this point
and the proposed resolution allow

make it invalid. One limits the names
placed on the general election ticket
to the number to be elected in each
county, and prohibits any names 60
ing on the ticket except those re-
ceiving the highest number of votes
in the primaries. This makes the re-
suit of the primary vote final, and
is said to be in conflict with the pro-
visions of the constitution which pro-
vides that judges of the superior
court shall be elected by the quail
fed electors of the county Eat the
general state election"
The other disputed provision pro-
hibits any other parties than those
entitled to primary tickets from get
ting the name of their candidates on
the general ticket. This, it is claim
ed, DISTINGUISHES the independent
voter, who can not vote at the pri-
maries without declaring his allegi-
ance to one of the old parties.
There are several other sections
which may be taken, among them be-
ing the provision requiring candi-
dates to file statements of expenses,
and one which attempts to regulate
the relations between candidates and
newspapers.

LAW GOVERNING
OPERATORS PROVES
SCREAMING FARCE.
Some Operators Declare They Work
Longer Hours Than Before
Law Went Into Effect.

The nine hours a day law for ope-
rators turns out to be a bowling
farce on the Pasco division of the
Northern Pacific. According to the
operators the railway company, if it
lived up to the law, would need 81
more operators on this division than
they had, and the railroad claimed
they could not live up to the law, as
they could not get enough operators.
Since the law went into effect they
have seven less operators working on
this one division alone than prior to
the date the nine-hour law became
effective At seven stations the third
man was put on. at the same time
three offices usually keeping two
men on at each point were closed
and at eight Offices one man was
taken off Seven men were taken en-
tirely out of service instead of p be-
ing put on.
At the one-man stations the Law
permits the company to keep him on
duty 3 hours every day and if nee
essary II hours three days in the
week. The operators signed a sched-
ue whereby they agree 10 work 10
hours day without overtime, and
if they do not remain on duty over
80 minutes after the 10 hours is up
they get no over time. Operators
working at these stations say the
company is working them IL hours
and 25 minutes every day, thus pay
ing but two hours for overtime.
Those who by reason of their age
with the company We're fortunate
enough to hold their jobs claim thsJ
are making more money than before,
but that instead of decreasing tie
number of hours worked the law has
increased it from one to five hours
each day in the majority of cases

COUNTRY HOMES GO
UP ON EVERY SIDE
Never Tn History of Yakima County
Has There Been Such IA
Gigantic Boom.

Never in the history of Yakima
county has there been such a boom
in the building of country residences
as at present. In the Parker section
not less than 20 new homes are in
course of construction, in the Mckee
valley 10 new houses are being built,
while number are contemplated.
In the Selah valley II handsome
homes are either being built and at
least four prominent ranchers are
planning on building this fall
The same condition prevails in ev-
cry valley tributary to this city, and
every house is modern as far as it is
possible. In number of instances
arrangements for the carrying Of wa
ter to the top floors and thence to
the other parts of the houses have
been made. In a number of the new
wired for electric lights, as 1t is be-
leved the time is drawing near when
an electric lighted residence 90 or
even so miles from North Yakima
will be fact. Some of these new
homes will cost as high as $4,000,
and from that figure they run to as
low as $500. 1t is doubtful If any
other country can boast of as many
beautiful and expensive homes as the
Yakima valley, considering the youth
of the country. This in itself is a
source of wonder to fasteners who
visit the valley for the first time.
