In order to take care of the in

the Daily World and Weekly Ad-

year and a half past has had charge
of the advertising of the Everett

The Spokane jail is not large
enough to accommodate all the sa-
loon men convicted there of law vio-
lation. So the malefactors report
each day to the chief of police and
are taken to the court room to sit
in penitential confinement for two
or three hours. Next day the per-
Torrance is repeated. Such suffering
excites pity. The law is cruel, and
the results of sin too horrible to con-
emplate.-Tacoma News

Public Ownership Shows.

II is no new thing for the American
people to be told, as they are in the
North American Review. that ma
tionally endowed theater for the cul
tivation of a higher taste in dramatic
art would be a good thing. In fact
the grassnd has been gone over thor
oughly, and the conclusion has been
reached that it is up to some Carnegie
or other public benefactor to put ma
tional home of the Thespian art on its
fess financially, The public may be
counted upon TO do the rest in due
time. The writer in the Review, Hen
~ Arthur Jones, argues from the pres
ent conditions in the amusement field
as follows:

Relieved after Years of SUFFERING

This morning at o'clock death came
to Mr.. Walker as relief after years of
suffering, on his homestead about five
miles northwest of Estanca, Mr.. Walker
has been a sufferer from diabetes for the
past twenty years. Early in life he met
an accident, injuring the bone of the left
leg, Just above the ankle, which has never
healed. The left foot had become almost
entirely separated from the limb at the
ankle joint, and for the past few weeks
he had begged 10 have the same amputa-
ted, thinking that he would be relieved
