week-because that number of shillings
is equal to $3.50 He shows that street
car fares in Glasgow are less than one
half what they are in Washington, and
that the working expenses Of the Glasgow
system were one-half of the earnings for
the year 1907. From these premises as
to wages. fares and expenses he makes
the illogical deduction that when the en-
ployes of Washington street railways are
willing to accept the Glasgow scale of
wages the patrons will have a right to
demand a reduction of fares to the Glas
gov standard. AS well might it be said
that we shall never have cheaper gas in
Washington until the Washington Gas
Light Company further swers its divi
dends b. replacing white or black Ameri-
can laborers with Chinese coolies. Cheap
er labor means increased profits to capt.
tai. and not lower rates to the public.
unless the ratio between profits and
charges is regulated by statute.
The wages of street car employees in
Glasgow are governed, just they are in
Washington, by supply and demand. The
fact that relatively to other fields Of la
Dor motormen and conductors are better
paid in Glasgow than in Washington Is
evidenced by the fact that the Glasgow
men are glad to hold their positions for
life. whereas in Washington the street
car employees seek and find more re-

SEATTLE. September discharged
with the murder in Nome, October 81,
1905. of his wife, Lee Johnston. promo
ter, thirty-f1ve years old, living at 1902
4th avenue, Seattle, has been arrested.
Johnston denies the murder charge. He
says she committed suicide and that he
buried the body as she directed in a
signed note found beside the body.
The arrest, made by Detectives Kennedy
and Barbee after months of investigation
by Deputy United States Marshal Joseph
Warren of Nome, is the end of a trail
that began when Johnston's wife disap-
peared from the cabin at Nome three
years ago.
Deputy Warren, with the evidence in
his possession, came to Seattle four
months ago for Johnston. He had
learned that Johnston and a woman call
ing herself Mrs. Cora Johnston, and who
claims she is his legal wife, were living at
1902 4th avenue. Securing room on the
opposite side of the street, Marshal War
rem kept Johnston under surveillance.
When Johnston was arrested he manifest
ed little surprise. saying that he expected
something like this

Says She Killed Herself.

Johnston at police headquarters con-
fessed that he had cut up the body of
his wife and buried 1t, but denied that
he had killed her. He adhered to the
story of suicide.
He says that on the morning of his
wife's disappearance he went for pail Of
water and was absent only a few min
utes. When he returned. he says, he
found the body of his wife on the cabin
floor. an empty bottle that had contained
cyanide of potassium beside her.
Searching for a motive, Johnston de-
clares he found note in his wifes hand
writing. in which she confessed that she
had taken her own life
When asked what had become of the
note Johnston said he had lost it, but re-
cited it from memory for Deputy Warren

Lived Over the Grave.

Johnston. according to his statement to
Deputy Marshal Warren, acted at once
on what he says was his wife's request
for secret burial. Dismembering the body.
he ripped up a portion Of the floor Of the
shack. rolled the corpse in canvas and put
it in a rude grave in the frozen dirt
Johnston continued to live in the cabin
until spring, when he sold the property.
This. he said made it necessary to take
further measures to keep his secret, and
after his purchase of another cabin, half
mile distant, he disinterred the body,
which had been preserved by the cold, and
chopping off the legs and cutting the
torso in two with an axe. packed the re-
mains in four vegetable crates
He dug a grave behind the new cabin,
called an expressman and accompanied
him to the spot, where he unloaded the
crates. and when the expressman had left
he placed the crates in the grave poured
the contents of a can of kerosene upon
them and set them on fire. After the fire
had burned itself out he filled the hole
flush with the surface and left

Neighbors' Suspicious Aroused.

| On the night following the disappear
at the cabin to borrow a lamp. Johnston
said, when the neighbors inquired as to
his wife's wherea bouts, that she had
gone on the steamship Ohio, which left
that day for the states. He persisted in
| that story, and 1t was credited until a
woman who had been friendly with his
wife during her residence at Nome be-
came suspicious, and she reported her
suspicious to United States Marshal T. c.
Powell after writing to friends in Seattle
and Butte.
Unknown to Johnston, Powell, with a
force of men, dug UP the ground near
murder occurred believing that the body
might have been concealed about the
house, but nothing was found. Johnston
worked at odd jobs about Nome until the
fall of 1906 when he came to Seattle.
When he reached here he said in his cor
respondence his wife was in Nome
Deputy Marshal Warren was placed in
charge of the case early last spring and
he took the trail which has just ended.
He found that Mrs. Johnston. whose
maiden name was Belle Gilchrist, was a
resident of Butte Mont, and that ten
years ago she had given a power of at
torney to E. G. Smith of that city to ia
vest $500 for her. She came to Seattle
on her way to Nome to- seek her fortune.
and Johnston was a passenger with her
on the Ohio when 1t sailed for Alaska.
Johnston struck up an acquaintance
with her. and before the Journey was
ended she confided to him that she had
$500 worth Of property in Butte. John
ston proposed to her and :lley were mar
ried at Nome June Is. 1905. So far as
can be learned their domestic relations
were pleasant.

Johnston's Power Of Attorney.

Before her death the woman had given
Johnston power of attorney to transact
business for her in Alaska the instru-
ment being witnessed by notary public.
This document turned up two months ago
in Johnston's hands at Butte, Mont,
| where he had gone to secure his wife S
property, but it provided, when exhibited
| there. that he was authorized to trans
act the woman's business in Montana
| also
This practically carried with 1t the
ownership of the dead woman's prop
erty. Mr. Smith was suspicious and re-
| fused to do any business with Johnston,
although he had employed an attorney
and threatened to make trouble
Mr.. Smith met the demands for money
| with courteous replies framed to allay
suspicion while the federal authorities
were accommodating evidence. At the re-
quest of Mr.. Warren Mr. Smith wrote
Johnston soon after he came to Seattle,
| stating that 1t would be necessary that
Mrs. Johnston sign for a money order
Enclosed to make absolute the identified

the woman and her husband had quarrel
ed, that she left him. but never obtained
divorce. She and Johnston came to
Seattle in 1903 and were living here when
| he determined to go to Alaska to seek his
| fortune in mining. He fell In with the
| Butte woman. and although he denies
| that they were married, he sent the
Omaha woman money while he was in
| Alaska.
Johnston Swallowed.
On Johnston's return three years ago
the present Mrs. Johnston says she was
curious when Johnston began receiving
registered and special delivery letters,
and for two weeks before his arrest. when
his replies became evasive, she employed
a private detective to watch him and learn
III possible the contents of these letters.

THE. DRAFT HORSE.

Have you considered the draft
horse, how he is always in demand
and the market never supplied? Well,
there is no horse more profitable nor
any that can be raised with such uni
form success. The breed seems to be
capable of resisting many Of the ills
to which immature equine nature is
subject and emerges into the two
year-old class almost before one is
aware. Farmers who want to make
easy money are invited to take up the
consideration on every farm. But be
sure the breeding stock is right be-
fore starting into the business and be
prepared to devote sufficient time to
the animals to insure their good care.

BY q special order Of the ministry
OF the interior persons who ring the
night bell at the drug store between
10 o'clock at night and 6 o'clock in
the morning will have to PFC tax OF
10 cents, in addition to the cost Of
the medicine or other articles they
wish to obtain. The object OF the
order is not to increase the chemists
receipts, nor to burden the public
with any new taxes. but merely to
induce the public to get medicines
and drugs during the hours the saops
are open--that is, from Z a. m. to
8 p. m.
In urgent cases the tax will not
be charged, the physician marking

NEW SWEDISH FRUIT.

For months past there has been
some talk to the effect that COM
pany will be organized for the pur-
pose of importing the lingun berry
from Sweden, and prepare it for mar
ket in a manner to compete with the
sale of cranberries in the United
States. A prominent cranberry deal
er writing this journal in regard to
the question says that he does not see
how it is possible for the lingun berry
to offer serious competition to the
American fruit. IT find that our
strongest trade for the American
cranberry" said he, is among the
Swedish settlements of the United
States. These people seem to de-
mand. and are satisfied with the
American article, and we believe even
they will take the cranberry in pref
erence to the lingun." American

THE DAIRY COWS PRODUCT.

The products of the dairy COW are
fourfold The first and chief product
is naturally the milk which she Sc
cretes, and which is used as milk, or
for butter, or cheese making. The
second product is calves which she
bears, and which may be of more or
less value. Third, the carcass of beef
which she will yield when she is no
longer useful for the production Of
milk should be taken into account.
Lastly, the manure she produces is of
considerable value.
We may call the milk the main
product and the calves, beef and man
ure the by-products of the dairy COW.
It has been asserted that the milk
product is the only thing that should
be taken into consideration in esti-
mating the value of the dairy COW.
and that the calves and beef should
be entirely ignored by successful
dairyman, but in these days of strong
competition it is not possible to ig-
more the by-products, and in any
scheme of successful dairying the
calves and beef at least be taken into
consideration. This does not mean
that in any case milk producing quail
tiles are to be sacrificed for the sake
of the by-products.
1t simply means that of two ami
mails of equal value for the produc-
ton of milk, the one that will give
the greater return in production of
calves and value Of carcass is more
profitable. -Sylyanus Van AIKEN, in
