To the Voters of Stevens Co.:
This is to certify that (Mrs. Julia
T. Hanrahan, who was for some time
student in this school, was a most
faithful and conscientious worker.
She has maturity of Judgment with
a consequent grasp of subject matter
considerably above the average. She
is agreeable in manner, pleasing in
personality, aud inclined to make
friends wherever she goes. In fact
she has many of the characteristics
desirable for one, who occupies the
position to which she now aspires,
It is my belief that, if honored with
an election at your hands, you will
have no occasion to regret it.
Very truly yours,

Arabs Outiive Eskin,os.

While it may be true that the white
man loses in intellectual and bodily
power in the tropics, DR.. Luigi Sambon
maintains as a result of researches
that the average Arab lives twenty-five
years longer than the average Eski-
mo, that the coast people of South
America are longer lived than the
mountain people, that old age is much
commoner in the southern countries Of
Europe than in the northern countries
and that Spain, with population
smaller by 100000, has 4O1 centena-
rians to England's 146.

The woman VINO CANDLES.

Moralists say that the emotion Of
gaming makes women ugly. 1t Is not
necessary to take the word OF the
moralists for that. Gaming does not
make women ugly. 1t unmasks them,
and 1t is Of that that they must be
warned. It is natural enough, since
they play passionately, and in playing
they forget the world and their faces.
So much the worse for those who do
as Jezebel. Jean Lorrain has left ter
rible pictures Of old painted faces the

what they are. laundering is also
carried on very extensively.
AS class the people are very diff
ferent from the people here. OF
course there are those who came from
the east and do not get westernized.
AS class, they are much less sociable.
They do not care to talk unless there
is 81 900 back of it. In fact ! have
heard several people say they were
there for the money there was in it,
and this seems to be true in many
cases. But perhaps can give you a
better idea by an Illustration. If you
should be driving with a westerner,
and see man lying in the road, in
many cases he would simply turn out,
the least he could without running
over him, and drive on without inves-
tigating. Do not conclude however,
that there are not plenty of good peo-
pie there.
The country is full of graft and
grafters. Again I will use an illus
tration: Last year the books of the
city were audited by firm whose
name forget. The first the people
knew about it, the papers announced
the treasury was short $4,000, and
gave the name of a certain official
who was under arrest. In the trial
that followed, it developed that for
some time they had system of book
keeping in which they used a ''bull
sack' Into this they put all the
money which they could not account
and out of which they made up short
ages. Saturday nights they divided
up what was left, and there was gen
orally some left.
Now to sum up, if you desire to
make money you can do that in
Spokane. If you desire to enjoy life,
you can do that right here.

WANTS COURT TO
CALL EMPLOYEES

c. p. Orr, receiver of the Pacific
Manufacturing & Supply Co., has
made report in the superior court,
In which he shows the affairs of the
company as relates to it's employees
in somewhat tangled condition.
The Is employees of the company
at the time it went into the hands
of receiver about three months
ago were all stockholders in the
concern. The company was indebt-
ed to them for wages in amounts
ranging from $500 downward, while
the individual employees were all
indebted to the company for unpaid
stock subscriptions in amounts
ranging from $1,000 down.
Receiver Orr does not know
whether these claims for unpaid
wages are genuine. and if so
whether they are a preferred claim
against the company, or should be
charged off against each mans in
debtedness for stock. He has asked
that the employees of the concern
be cited to appear in court Janu-
AIRY 5 and answer as to their in
ferests in the company.
The receiver has operated the
plant for nearly three months, and
has more than made expenses. He
now recommends that it be sold
as whole to pay the creditors.

with embezzlement of city water
funds, was today assigned to be
heard by Judge Carey of Colville,
but Judge Carey was delayed in
coming, and the case had not start
ed at Q p. m.
Horton will first be tried on the
Holley, Mason, Marks check of $68.
His defense will be that he turned
over to the city treasurer all the
funds that came into his hands.
An effort will be made by the de-
Tense to exclude all testimony as to
any other items of the alleged
shortage of Horton.

ON
CREMATORY

The finance committee of the
city council is In session this aft
ernoon and among other things
will consider the report of the
crematory investigation committee
which was referred to it by the
council. In this connection a spe-
cial report to the committee by
Superintendent A. w. Merritt of
the crematory, charging Commits
sioner O'Brien and Charles Vedder,
examiner of engineers, with a con-
spiracy whereby Assistant Super
intendent Lockhart was enabled to
secure advance information on
questions and pass an examination,
will also be considered.
Mayor Moore has asked for Mer-
ritt's removal and the appointment
of F. p. Weymouth. This will
eventually be the outcome, it is
expected. Just what will be done
with the charges Merritt has made
against O'Brien and Vedder is a
matter for conjecture.

WOODMEN DENY
LIABILITY
CASE OF ESPECIAL INTEREST
TO MEMBERS OF FRATER-
NAL INSURANCE ORDERS ON
TRIAL IN SUPERIOR COURT.

A case of interest to lodge men,
particularly members of the Mod
ern Woodmen of America, was
called for trial today in Judge
Sullivan's court before a jury.
1t is the suit of Mrs. Eliza J.
Campbell against the Modern
Woodmen of America to enforce
the payment of life insurance
policy of $4,000 carried by her son.
Norman j. Campbell. Campbell
was initiated into Whaleback camp
No. 779, in Wisconsin, in 1897 and
was transferred to Excelsior camp
No. 5124 of Spokane, later. He
died aJnuary Is last and the or
der declined to pay his certificate
on the ground that he had violated
provisions as to the excessive use
of liquor.
The Woodmen claim that Camp
bell came to his death as the re-
suit of saloon brawl with Charles
Davidson, in which Davidson is al
legged to have struck Campbell on
the head or pushed him so as to
cause him to fall and strike his
head on the iron foot rail at the
bar. The counsel for the order,
Davis & Davis, also claim to have
evidence to show that the young
man had become addicted tO drink
ing to excess and that this, under
the bylaws of the order adopted
in 1905, invalidated his policy.
Hamblen, Lund & Gilbert, the at
tordneys for Mrs. Campbell, say
that in taking out the insurance
Campbell said that he used a glass
of beer occasionally but beyond
this deny that he drank to excess
to the extent of violating the rules
of the order.

TAKE Him FOR
MARK HANNA

CHICAGO, Dec. 21.--George A.
Post, president of the Railway
Business association and formerly
Ia member of congress from Penn.
sylvania, bears a striking resem.
blance to the late Senator Hanna.
Though considerably younger than
Senator Hanna, Mr.. Post was be-
fore the senator's death frequently
mistaken for him even by people
who had previously been intro
duced to the Ohio statesman. Mr..
Post generally took pains to let his
would be admirers know before
they had pressed any claims for
political favors that they were mis-
taken, but there was one occasion
when he did not do so.
1T was" he recently admitted,
shortly after Mr.. Mckinley had
been nominated the second time
for the presidency. | happened to
be in a western city where Mr..
Hanna was to make speech. Mr..
Hanna, as l knew, was to deliver
his address at banquet given by a
club, which had been compelled to
limit invitations, so that there
would be no chance for the public
to see or hear him.
"At my hotel l suddenly found
myself surrounded by a group of
admiring men who were unmistak-
ably from the country. They ex-
hibited such keen pleasure over
their good luck in being able to
meet the great man from Ohio and
shake him by the hand that I did
not have the Aeart to undeceive
them.
Il believe it is every mans duty
to make others glad whenever he
may and l knew by the joy de-
picted on those mems faces that it
would be cruelty disappointing to
them if I confessed that | was not
Senator Hanna. ] therefore re-
SClNCu tllCll SOHS Will
as much grace as | could, assured
them that l would always be glad
to welcome any of them if they
ever had occasion to call on me in
Washington, and promised to do
what l might to advance the claims
of a certain William Hannigan for
a postmastership.
Il never succeeded in finding out
whether Mr.. Hannigan secured the
appointment or not, but | am sure
they were all happier for being de,
ceived and | have no doubt that
each of them was able, because of
my thOughtfulness, to get himself
lionized when he returned home.
Hence | can say without any
shame whatever that my con-
science has never botherede me
on account of that episode"
