The PrOdigaIs Return

Two boys answering to the name OF
Fly and hailing from our neighboring
town of Cashmere walked into town
Wednesday evening. They are aged
respectively II and IS years and left
home some ten days ago with the OBJ
ject of seeing the other side of the
world and landed in Everett with a
sum of cash which soon disappeared.
Not finding work and being somewhat
disillusioned they decided to go back
to Pa and Ma. They managed to get
on the soft side OF some railroad man,
or, if they did not, at least they rode as
far as the tunnel, or this side, where
they hit the ties and intended to walk
the balance of the way, so firmly deter
mined were they 70 get back home.
When they reached the west end Of
the yard, near the coal chute, the
younger of the two gave out and Mar
shall Bohnsack was notified late We'd
nesday evening that some one in dis
tress was lying near the coal chute.
He brought the boy and his brother to
town, gave them something to eat and
a bed, and the following day called up
their father, who instructed the marshal
to send the boys home on No. 4.
These boys will not run away from
home again soon, at least not until
their bones quit aching.

This nice weather is drawing the
children out of doors much more than
the winter weather did. We are glad
to see this, for sunlight and outdoor
air are excellent for the health. Foot
ball and baseball are again seen on the
playground.
The county superintendent visited
the schools last Thursday and Friday.
We are pleased to report that he found
the work as whole very satisfactory.
He tells us that the schools are doing
as we'll here as any place in the county,
and that is gratifying indeed consider
ing the difficulties which we had to
meet at the opening Of the year.

RAILROAD PARAGRAPHS

The new dining cars on the Oriental
Limited are equipped with contri-
vance which informs the passengers
how fast the train is going and makes
a record of the speed and stops on a
tape, which goes to the general Offices
If a stop occurs between stations,
when it occurred and how long the
train stood are duly shown in the record.
If the conductor is careless about
leaving a station, waiting over his
allotted time, the fact is known at
headquarters at the end of the trip.
The tape also shows how the dispatchers
handle the train, where it is side
tracked and how fast it was required to
go. This speed record is of great
value to the railroad officials in pre-
pairing new time tables or revising the
old.
Manifest Clerk Geo. Lowell is the
happy father of bouncing 8-pound
girl, born last Monday. DR.. Hoxsey
reports all doing well.
The viaduct will be framed across to
the farther approach by Friday.
Heavy SHOWS are reported on the
hill. Two feet fell at Cascade tunnel
last Tuesday.
The aqueduct which has been on
flat cars in the yard for some time has
been hauled up the canyon and will
soon be placed.
John Doty commenced laying steel
on the Wenatchee Valley road this
week.
Slides kept the rotaries busy on the
hill this week.
Conductor Southwick was called &c
Wenatchee Tuesday to go into work
train service.
The telegraph station at Peshastir
has been discontinued until further no
tice.
Conductor Aldrich is moving hi:
family to Everett.

lKS' BALL TUESDAY NIGHT
A Large Crowd, a Good Time, and a
Great Supper

The Elks and their friends had one
of the best OF the many good dancing
parties that have been pulled off here
the past winter. The Leavenworth
Elks, some twenty-five in number, with
couple from Wenatchee, tho prepare
ton had been made to entertain twen-
ty, and few scattering from surround
ing towns, turned out Tuesday night to
do honor to the memory of the patron
saint of the Emerald Isle by dancing
all night.
Together with their friends they
filed the opera house almost to its ca
pacity. The floor and the music was
all that those devoted to the pastime
could desire, and the hours fairly flew.
About midnight they all sat down to
what was by general consent given up
TO be one OF the best suppers ever
served in the town. The supper was
served in the Overland Hotel under
the direction of Mrs. AL Morrison, who
is achieving reputation as caterer.

THAT OVERHEAD CROSSING
viii be Completed Next Week-May Not
Be Used for Some Time

For the past ten days gang of men
have been engaged on the overhead
railroad crossing. By the middle of
next week it will be finished, at least
the portion on the railroad right of way.
The approaches will have to be made
at the expense of the town. The
south side approach, unless the present
plan is changed will result in practically
closing Front street. Mayor Sampson
made trip to Seattle last week to
confer with the railroad authorities in
regard to a change and was assured
that everything possible would be done
and that an engineer would be sent
here at once to take the matter up.
So far, however, nothing has been done.
How the approach on the north side
of the track will answer the demands
of the public, we have not learned but
presume there will be no difficulty, and
that no change will be asked for.
Arrangements were made with the
railroad company by which the south
approach to the crossing will be made
shorter and more steep so that it will
not be necessary to block any part OF
| the street.

CASCADE SU NJ MER no TEL
r. A. Drebis Will Open Place At Mouth
of lciCle River

Seeing a number of wagon loads oil
furniture leaving the depot one day
this week we made inquiries and
learned that it was being hauled to the
Cascade Orchards where F. A. Drebis
had built summer hotel with some
twenty rooms for the use Of guests.
Mr.. Drebis says he was induced to go
into the summer hotel business because
in the past there has been a demand
for such a place away from town when
parties can feel that they are living
in the country and also be close to
good fishing.

Police Court Grist

Before Magistrate Taylor yesterday
w. F. Kelly and Lee Wertensiohen
were convicted of stealing whiskey
from the Horseshoe saloon Wednesday
night. Each one of the parties was
fined 800 and costs, which means
about twenty-one days in Jail, as Meth
er of the delinquents has a cent.
Both parties are we'll known here
and have been suspected of petty lar
ceny from the person in the past, but
evidence enough to convict had never
been secured. Some two weeks ago
Kelly had his face badly disfgured by

To lovers OF variety Tuesday must
have been quite satisfying. 1t was
dark and threatening, and then by
turns the sun shone beautifully bright.
1t rained at short intervals several times
and for a few hours in the early part OF
the day it showed as we have rarely
seen snow fall. The fakes were unus-
ually large and thick. For half hour
the earth would be perfectly white,
then it would rain and the snow would
disappear. Then it would thicken up
and snow again for an hour, when all
at once the sun would burst out be-
tween the clouds, the birds would
chirrup and all nature was covered with
a smile as broad as space.

In his speech in the United States
senate last Tuesday on the Aldrich
currency bill, Senator La Toilette may
not have convinced either the senate
or the public that last October's panic
was wilfully and deliberately planned
by the Morgan and Standard Oil crowd,
but he certainly convinced a great
many people that he had strong grip
and pretty clear knowledge of some
features of the money question.

If Theodore Roosevelt had no other
claim on posterity, the fact that he set
his face against that infamous custom,
imported from England by some vapid
snob, of docking a horses tail, would
still entitle him to grateful remem-
brance by every man who loves horse,
and who loves not horse is fit only for
treason and should be cast into outer
darkness.

the name of Father John of Kronsta dt

Chinese Laborer Is a "student" in a

Washington, April 21.-The supreme
court Of the United States has decid-
ed that Liu Hop Fong, Chinaman
who came to the United States in
1899 as student but who has since
been found working, should not be de-.
ported, as was decreed by the United
States district court of Nebraska. The
latter declared that Hop had only
studied to the extent of twenty les
sons in Sunday school and, finding
that his certificate declaring that he
was coming to the United States for
the purpose of engaging in the pursuit
of scholastic knowledge was fraud
ulent, ordered that he be sent back to
China. The supreme courts opinion
was by Justice Day and reversed the
order of the Nebraska court. Justice
Day took the position that there was
no testimony before the district court
to justify the disregarding of the GER
tificate as was done by that court.

BAN ON MERRY WIDOW HATS
Reduce Seating Capacity and Drive
Out Men Worsfippers

Burlington, N. j., April 21.-Several
local churches have proposed ban
upon Merry Widow" hats in the con-
gregation during services. Pastors de-
clare that men are becoming fewer at
the services as the number of big
hats increases and that the popular
style threatens to make many male
backsliders.
Ushers in some of the more crowd
ed churches were at their wits ends
to seat their Easter congregations.
Pews which have comfortably accom-
modated six persons would hold no
! more than four when the quartette
wore large hats.
In the prominent churches hereafter
it is proposed to request women who
wear their big hats to church to
check them at the cloakroom during
the services.
