Discussion OF the AIdrich currency
bill was opened IN the Senate -Oday al
the close Of routine morning business, in
accordance with notice given some days
ago when Senator Aldrich reported the
bill from the Finance COMMITTEES.
Senator Aldrich OF Rhode Island chair
man Of the Finance Committee, and
author Of the Dill. called up the measure
and after It had been read, spoke at
length in behalf Of II. He explained the
bill in all its details and went into the
necessity for currency ,egis alton. He
defended the measure against the
numerous criticisms that have been
leveled at t.
The Senate was well filed when Sena-
tor AIdrich began the debate on the
currency bmL The gre5sest interest in
his remarks was shown by Senators.
The galleries were we'll filed, and many
members of the House went o the SEN
ate side TO listen 10 Mr. Al6-ich's state
ment.
Debate May Last Fortnight.
The debate opened today is expected
to continue almost without Interrupt
ton until the bill is voted upon. II
is likely that at least two weeks Will
he consumed in the arguments. Nearly
everv. member Of the Senate is expected
70 get into the discussion before IL is
wound up. Some viii speak for home
consumption, and some from knowledge
OF the subject.
The veteran Senator Allison, who has
been III most of the time since the hol-
Idavs. but who is once more in the Sen
ate. may participate in the discussion.
Democrats Want to Ialk.
Most Of the Democratic Senators ara
anxious to have g chance to take part
IN the monetary debate. Senator Bailey
will nrobably be heard to a greater e.
tent in the currency debate than in any
discussicr or the Senate floor since the
rate bill was passed in the first session
of the Fifty-ninth Congress. lie is es-
neciallv anxious TO force a vote on his
bin. which provides for issue and dis
trib,Ition Of a half billion in Treasury
notes. Senators Teller, CuIbersOn, Dan
lei, Clay. and Bacon are other proIni-
nent democrats who will have much to
say on currency.
The consideration ef the bin is ex-
pected 10 prove almost as interesting as
the debate on the rate measure two
years ago. II has added interest from
the fact that a storm Is gathering in
the House that seems likely to defeat
currency legislation entirely. Western
members Of Congress are hearing from
their constituents in terms OF strong
opposition TO the Aldrich plan, which is
denounced as an infiatiOn scheme in
the interest of Eastern banks

Thursday afternoon at 1870 the
furniture store of NJ. c. Kelly was
discovered to be on fire. The alarm
was turned in and the fire depart
ment responded as quickly as pos
sible. Mr.. Kelly was absent from
his place of business and the doors
were all locked, SO that an entrance
was gained from the front by cltl-
zens. who at once began to carry
the furniture into the street.
The fire had originated in pile
of mattresses in the northwest cor
ner of the room, and when the fire
department arrived smoke was even
coming from the windows OF the
third story, and for long time
after the water was turned on, 1T
seemed that it would be impossible
to save the building. Two streams
of water were soon playing into the
burning room, the smoke and
smudge being so dense that it was
impossible for the fire boys to get
inside of the building. In about
three-quarters of an hour the fire
was under control
The furniture of Mr.. Kelly was
either totally destroyed or was car
ried into the street and severely
injured.
The storeroom was insured for
$4,000. damage estimated at $1,000.
Mr.. Kelly states that the insurance
will not cover the loss
The fire went through the ceiling
in several places and two Of the
back rooms in the hotel were in
jured. The smoke damaged car
pets, curtains and bed clothing in
some of the rooms. --Statesman-

Stevens County Prohibition Party Plat
form

The Prohibition party OF Stevens
county, in convention assembled at
Colville July 3lst, 1908, expresses
gratitude to Almighty God for past
victories, and recognizes Him as
the source of authority in govern
ment, and. makes the following
declaration of principles as it's
platform:
We endorse the platforms OF the
state and national conventions and
pledge fidelity to the principles of
the same, and support to the NOM
inees Of the Prohibition party of
state and nation.
While our present liquor laws
are wicked in principle, yet there
are certain prohibitive features
about them that enables any COM
munity to free itself from the sa-
loon. But all action, under either
our present laws or under local op-
ton, only serves to keep the ques-
ton constantly before the people.
What we demand is a solution of
the problem that will not need to be
worked out at every election. Let
US solve the problem so that it will
stay solved. We propose to kill
the saloon, not for time, but for
all time.
We reahirm our former convic-
tions that ''local option" is not the
final solution of the beverage liquor
traffic. Local option makes pro-
hibition party all the more neces-
sary. Hence we conclude that pro-
hibition laws, backed by a prohi-
bition party is the only solution of
the liquor problem.
We believe that the time has
come in this county when saloons
in all places outside of incorporated
towns should be closed upon the
expiration of licenses now running,
and on behalf of the Prohibition
lists Of Stevens county we hereby
petition the honorable board of
county commissioners to reject all
applications for saloon licences
hereafter.

II. NJ. Boone, of Palouse, Whit

make up good congressional timber.

The United States senatorial
tight has not created much stir on
this side of the connty, and but few
expressions of sentiment are heard.
However, those whom we have
heard speak of the Jones and An
keny contest have declared them
selves in favor of Congressman
Jones. Mr.. Jones is quite we'll
known in this section, and in the
past has shown his friendliness to
our interests by devoting time to a
visit to the valley OF the Pend
Oreille, with a view to informing
himself as to the conditions there,
to aid him in the attempt to secure
government aid for navigation.
One thing is certain, that Mr.. Jones
will receive good part of the vote
of this section, not alone in recog-
milton of his Interest, in this section
but because his ability as alegisla-
tor is recognized. #

Drowned in Spirit Lake

Herman Black, aged 26, a team
ster, was drowned in Spirit Lake
Friday night shortly after 7 o'clock.
After supper a party of men and
boys went to the lake for a swim,
and Black was in this crowd. The
boys stayed near the shore, while
most of the men swan across the
lake. When the men were on the
opposite shore Black. though he
could not swim, kept walking out
deeper, and suddenly stepping into
a hole, he disappeared. The men
could not cross the lake in time to
save him, after hearing his cries.
His body was recovered after hav-
ing been in the water seven min
utes.

J. E. JENNIE, candidate for sheriff,
seems to be developing consider
able strength, and it looks as if he
stands good chance of landing
the nomination. There are four
candidates in the race, three of
whom are from the west side. Mr..
Jenne's experience as a police Off
Ger is such as to warrant his friends
in rallying to his support, for he
