DURANT RELEASES.
Four of the Tryouts Gone-New
 Pitcher Signed.

Manager Durant has signed anoth- CT new pitcher and in the meantime has sent few of his players on their way to the tin can camp. The new twlrler is O'Drain, who last year worked with New London. O'Drain -is an old Holy Cross pitcher and when he is inclined to work can pitch good ball. Last year he seemed to be troubled with tired feeling. perhaps due to the aggregation he was with. The men that have had the string tied on them are Pitcher Slosher, the local boy, "Braggo" McEnroe, the utility man, Coyle, the fielder, and Pat Moran, who came here to do some of the backstop work. With Schincel and Lucia in good form there was no need of Patsy" Manager Durant did not accompany the team on the Spring. field-Holyoke trip.

ODD PORTENTs AND SIGNS
superstitions That Have Long Been
 Prevalent Among Negroes. |

Among the colored people of the south every commonest event has its accompanying sign or superstition.
 sWhether these all date back to the African savage ancestors of the race is doubtful, as very many of them are similar to those current among English, Scotch and Irish peasants. It is probable that in acquiring the English language the newly import ed negroes imbibed the superstitions in vogue among the white people of the south at that time.
 Signs of weather are many, as is natural and some of them arc very curious. If cat sneezes or if she washes her head behind her ear, it will rain. If she frisky, it fore bodes wind.
 In the winter, if COW lows in the evening 1t will snow before morn- ing. If COW stops in walking and shakes her foot, there is bad weather behind her. When the cat tie are driven to pasture, if the bull goes first, it will rain.
 If dog eats grass in the morn- ing, or if he digs a hole in the ground, it is sign of bad weather. Pigs are believed to be able to 'see the wind" If they run about and squeal without apparent cause. it Is sign of cold and stormy weather.
 Money carried for three days in a mans shoe may safely be wagered 1t is sure to win.
 The locust tree Is especially liable to a stroke of lightning. Some say Judas hung himself on that tree: others suppose the crown of thorns to have been made from it.
 It Is terribly unlucky 10 burn for firewood tree which has been struck by lightning. This is sure to bring misfortune upon the house. hold.
 Shoes have many portents con- nected with them. If a heel Is lost from the shoe it forebodies a death in the family before the year is out" If new shoes are worn. you will surely step into trouble with them on your feet"

LEAVES HUSBAND
Vile of Perdue University Pro- lessor WithdraWs From
 ihe World.

Lafayette, Ind, May 2.-President Winthrop Ellsworth Stone of Perdue university confirmed last night re- port that his wife has withdrawn from the world, including her hus- band and family, to pursue a mystic teaching supposed to be imported from India. He is and his two sons are heartbroken and would eagerly welcome her back, but are unable to reach her. The circumstances were laid by President Stone before the board of trustees of the university with his resignation, but the board has voted unanimously to retain President Stone in the official posi- tion he has held with conspicuous success since 1900. Three years ago there was organized in Lafayette a class in so-called Yoga philosophy. Many women and some men in the college town joined the class which became a fad with certain highly educated people. It was taught that the complete power of the Yoga in- ovlved withdrawal or separation from kindred and friends.
 The last heard from President Stones wife she was in Germany. Dr Stone was born in New Hamp- shire in 1862. He was graduated from the Massachusetts Agricultural college and then finished his studies at Gottingen, where he remained un- til 1888. He met his wife abroad, but married her in this country while she was chemist at the Massa- chusetts state agricultural experi- ment station. He and his wife had lived in Lafayette since 1889, when he became professor of chemistry at Purdue.

A RARE ROAST!

Ebert Hubbard is so nasty OF
soul that men hesitate to soil their
hands upon him. He poses as a real
intellectual bubonic plague, when in
truth his is but scurvy case of per-
sistent eczema or an exaggerated in
telectual Scotch itch.
His emblem is that skunk which
rejOiced at the peculiar distinction
which was his-that he could be
smelled when mile away.
His writings on the Mormon ques-
ton remind one of brainless goose
sailing on a lake, in love with her
own cackle, sailing and squawking,
drawing about an inch and half OF
water, totally unconscious of the
unfathomable depths beneath her.
We congratulate the church on Sc
curing this latest champion. We
hope that when bargaining with him
it kept in mind that whatever he
publishes is discounted in advance
by every decent man and woman,
and did not permit him to bleed the
tithing fund too much.-Godwin s
Weekly, Salt Lake City, Utah.

ON PRIMARY VOTING.

From the continued Inquiries that
pour into this office, ignorance of the
direct primary law is not only gen
eral, but appalling. We have one
letter asking us to explain the law
80 plainly that one who knows
nothing of it will, after reading the
explanation, understand it thorough
ly." We can not vOuch for the I'M
Outstanding that may result, but the
law is so easy of explanation that the
explanation here ought to be under
stood:
The direct primary is designed as
substitute for the old party con-
vention. Instead of delegating the
rover to choose party nominees, the
voters of each party, and all parties.
retain that power for themselves.
Hence, no convention of a regularly
organized party casting more than 10
per cent. of the votes at the last cleo
ton can nominate.
Instead of the old ward caucus and
primary to select delegates to party
convention the party merely holds a
primary to make nominations. This
primary is held on the same day by
all parties. A separate ballot is pro-
vided for each party. The same poll
ing places for all parties are. how
ever, used. Voting is strictly by
party. For the purpose of the COM
ing primary every voter is either Il
republican or a democrat and must
vote one of the two tickets-but only
one. On entering the polls he must
call for the ballot of his party. He
is given but one ballot-all republic
can or all democratic. No voter, for
instance, can vote for republican
candidate for mayor and a demOcra-
tic nominee for controller. If you
want to vote for the democratic can
didate for controller you must ask
for the democratic ticket. And that's
all the ballot you get. You can then
vote for all the democratic candi-
dates. just as you please, but you
cal not vote for single republican
candidate. You get but one ballot,
and that is the ballot you call for.
At the final city election you will, of
course, receive a blanket ballot con-
tanning the names OF all the candi-
dates of all parties. Then, of course,
you may vote for any nominee you
see fit. But at the primary you get
bu- one ballot, and that a party BAL
lot. If you ask for republican bal
lot, for example. at the primaries,
and your status as a republican be
challenged, you will be called upon TO
swear that you are a republican and
that you intend to support the re-
publican candidates generally at the
forthcoming city election. This, of

BYRON STEARNS
IS LOCKED UP

Byron Stearns, for a long time en-
gineer at the Skyline mill, is in jail
awaiting a hearing tomorrow, on a
charge growing out of domestic diff
ficulties.
Last June Stearns and his wife
removed to Seattle.
In January they separated, she
coming to Wenatchee and making
her home with the family of Frank
Smith in Millerdale.
The marital relations of the
couple were continuously unhappy,
and finally, Stearns, growing demon
strative, was placed under $500
bond to keep the peace.
His breach of good behavior re-
suited yesterday in Sheriff Webb
taking him into custody. He will
have a hearing tomorrow morning.

course, is equally true as respects a
call for a democratic ballot.
This sums up the voters duties at
the primaries. You attend either as
a republican or a democrat. If you
do not want to support either party
stay away from the primary-you
can't participate in it except as re-
publican or a democrat. Provision
is made for Independent candidates,
but they do not enter into the pri-
mary that will be held March 10

FariS, Feb. %,

! Faris, Feb. %, 1908.
One day last week there Va. great
cUmmotion at the Crum mine. II
was noticed early in the day that
ock dirt splinters and smoke were
issuing from the mouth OF the tun-
nci in great profusion. We had just
learned from the Mennonite preach
ers that hell was in the bowels %
the earth, and that the crust was
very thin in places, and the first
thought was that Crum had dug;
TIA ough and was having an alterca-
ton with his Satanic Majesty, as it
is well known here that his presence
would not be tolerated on his maje5-
tvs premises. The mystery was
solved when Crum was seen coming
from the tunnel, his back bowed,
and dirt and rock flying in all direc-
tons and talking to himself, saying
things you wouldn't like to print.
The mine had caved in and buried
him, and he was digging his way
out. He now wears court plaster on
his head and his left leg is in a sling
but he is still able to oversee the
work at the mine.
