is said that Campbell did not speak
single word nor change color during
the dastardly transaction.
1t is said that there has been more
or less bad blood between the two
men for sometime past; that Camp
bell once suffered defeat in a law
case on the testimony supplied BY the
dead man, and that on this score
Campbell had once, not long ago, had
an encounter with Mcclellan at Nasel,
in which he beat the latter pretty
badly with his fists; and that this was
the groundwork Of the desperate
tragedy of yesterday.
Word was instantly sent to the
authorities at Cathlamet and the
sheriff was notified Of the murder and
left at once for the scene Of the
crime and no doubt has the murderer
in custody at this writing. The body
of Mr.. Mcclellan was brought on to
this city and delivered into the official
care of Coroner w. G. A. Pohl, who
will hold it subject to the orders of
the authorities Of Wahkiakum county,

ington deeming this to be the most
practical way Of disposing Of a very
startling and dubious problem thus
thrust upon him, and it is approved
on all sides as the only proper thing
to have done in the premise. The
feeling up and down the river in
Washington is very intense and the
murder is condemned in unmitigated
terms everywhere.

three children upon whom the fear
full burden of death falls with crush
ing force and these bereaved ones

whole citizenry of that country, be-

Connecticut Joined in Voting Against

Committee as Its Own.

WASHINGTON, May 20. = The
mittee which have been investigating
the charges of Representative Lilley
that the members of the house
have been improperly infiu-
enced in connection with the torpedo
boat legislation; that Lilley had vio-
lated his obligations as member and
had acted in bad faith with the COM
mittee and was in contempt OF the
house, was sustained by the house by
vote Of Isl to 50. Five hours of the
session were devoted to his case, four
OF which were consumed in reading
the report. Connecticut joined in vot-
ing against the resolution by which
the house adopted the conclusions OF
the committee as its own
Williams of Mississippi denounced
Lilley as being guilty Of treason for
which he said he should be expelled.
1t was a noticeable fact that FIVE mem
bers of the special committee-Bou-

and Howard sat together throughout
the proceedings and none Of them
submitted any remarks in connected
with the report A partial conference

The spectacle was splendid and in

long line was reviewed with profound
delight and interest as il drew away

squadrons, as follows:
First-The Connecticut, Kansas,

Fourth-Wisconsin, Illinois, Kear-

1890 just outside the bar and bore
down ON II at once and got into wire

Connecticut as she approached the
line.
Unfortunately the weather was too
rough to permit Admiral Sperry to
make good on the proposition that he
take lunch on board the big liner, a
matter that was seriously regretted
by all her passengers, for it had been
one of the especial attractions of the
deep water excursion that the COM
mander-in.chief would board the
Roanoke There was considerable
seasickness on board, and the sickest

enough to declare his disappointment
in the non-appearance of the admiral,
The trip was barren of all accidents,

even that was not remarked by its
sick loser until he got inside the bar

NATIONAL WILL Be
ANOTHER Big one
SOUTHERN NEVADA LEASERS
ARE PROVING GREATNESS
OF THE CAMP.

National has a formation identi-
cal with Tonopah, but is much larger
IN extent. In my opinion National
has greater possibilities than Tono-
pah had at the same stage of develop
ment, said l.. X. Bradford, we'll
known surveyor and mining man
from southern Nevada, who came in
yesterday from the new camp sew
enty-five miles north of Winnemucca.
Mr.. Bradford is from Tonopah ana
went into National about a month
ago. After a thorough examination
of the Workman and Davis property,
he at once made application for a
lease, which was granted. Now eight
leases are in active operation on the
property and the men who are work
ing them are all from southern Ne
Vada, many of them having been sue
cessful leasers on the Mizpah in the
early days of Tonopah
1t is especially significant that Mr.
Bradford and those other original
Tonopah leasers think so we'll of Ma
tional that they grabbed leases on the
Workman and Davis property as soon
as it was thrown open. 1t is even
more significant that all of them have
visited Rawhide and some of the 9TH
er boom camps and passed up all Of
fers of leases because things did not
look good enough to them.
The formation at National is an
desite, identical with Tonopah but
the mineralized area is many times as
large said Mr.. Bradford. On the
Workman and Davis property, where
nine leases are at work, the ledge
has been proved for distance of A.
600 feet to carry values of shipping

can cand ldates were to be.
At the time Dr.. Magee made
his forecast on August II, 1907,
Illinois had no primary law like
the one under which the election
was held and his prediction ia
naming all the successful candi-
dates is all the more wonderful
on this account. The prediction

lied by comparing statements
made therein with the legal facts

ticket depends upon the record
of the present administration.
He has stood for the TT ings the

James A Rose will in my
opinion succeed himself as Sec

made splendid state official
and few men in the state have a
larger constituency than Mr..
Rose. Mr.. Rose will be nomin-
ated by an increased majority.
James S Mccullough is the

Andrew Russell has the right

is good man and in my opinion
will be nominated for State
Treasurer.
William H Stead has made a
splendid record as Attorney
General for the state. 1t is con-
ceded by the best authority that
Mr. Stead will have no opposi-
tion and will be nominated.
A perusal of the primary re-
turns Of Illinois will show that
every one of the predictions
made by Dr.. Magee came true
and that the five candidates he
selected the year before were
success full.
