A Grateful Grab.

"Alfred Sommerlad, musical director
of the Devonshire Park theatcr, East
bourne, and Edgar Bateman, the song
writer, out fishing caught an edible
crab says an English periodical.
They tossed it back into the water.
At that moment an accidental kick
sent the bait box after the crab. There
was one fragment of bait adhcrinG TO
the hook, and this was lowered into
the sea, and the anglers left the rod
for Il time. When they returned they
found their basket, which they had
left empty, full to overtlowing with
fine founders, soles, SDck whiting
and plaice. The explanation was soon
forthcoming. Painfully making its
way up the fishing line came the crea-
ture whose life had been spared bear
ing in its nippers a fine young conger
eel, which it placed with the other fish
on the basket. Then it dropped back
into the water. Apparently the CRATE
full crab, knowing that he had caused
the bait to be lost, had deposited ff-
teen and one-half pounds of live fish
in the creel as q thank Offering for its
life being spared"

ELEVATED SIDEWALKS.

1t looks as though the city council
and the residents of East Aberdeen
ought to be able to agree on the
subject of elevated sidewalks in a
manner that would not hamper en-
terprises that Aberdeen needs. nor
interfere in the slightest degree with
travel in that section.
The elevations required by the
business houses need be by no great
err incline than is necessary in cross
ing the railroad tracks or the Heron
street bridge. The people of East
Aberdeen arS entitled to have their
thoroughfares as unobstructed as
possible, yet the necessities of manu-
featuring and commercial enterprises
that constitute the life blood Of
Aberdeen-should be unhampered as
far as possible. Those enterprises
have done much to enhance the value
of East Aberdeen realty, and will do
more.

REPUBLICANS GET BUSY.
Alarmed at the Large Bryan Senti-
ment, Local and State Candi-
dates Begin to Hustle.

At meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the Republican county CEN
trail committee, held at Montesano
last week, it was decided that it
would be unsafe for the county
candidates to sit supinely and de-
pend on the old time 1000 Republi-
can majority to pull them through.
The immense Bryan sentiment in
the county was recognized, as well
as new sort of independence
among the voters regarding local
candidates. which some attributed
to the pernicious (?) effects Of the
primary law, and it was determined
to make whirlwind campaign
throughout the county this week
and next.
The following was the schedule
adopted, with the state speakers who
will be along:
J. H. Schively at Moclips. October
10, and at Elma, October 20; United
States Senator S. H. Piles at Aber-
deem, October %; Judge Emery at

LIBEL CASE DISMISSED.
Editor of Hoquiam Washingtonian is
Cleared Of Liability in the Shaw
Libel Suit.

The criminal case against Otis M.
Moore, editor of the Hoquiam Wash
ingtonian, was dismissed by Judge
Irwin in the superior court Thurs
day, and the defendant was allowed
his costs of the county.
The case grew out Of the city
election at Hoquiam last spring, dur
ing which Moore wrote a letter to
Senator Poison, alleged to besmirch
the character of Clifford Shaw, a
clerk in the employ of Poison. The
case was tried before Judge Linn,
who refused to allow any evidence
as to the truth of the statements in
the letter. The jury found that
Moore wrote the letter, but was not
satisfied that it constituted the Of
Tense of libel, but later brought In
a verdict of guilty. A new trial was
granted, but the time was permitted
to lapse, so that a motion to dis
miss Thursday had to be granted.
Since the dismissal. Editor Moore,
has made the amende honorable by
publishing a statement to the effect
that his allegations against Mr..
Shaw were based upon information
he believed true, but which he later
discovered to be false.

KID HARRISON WINS.
Athletic Club Boxing Contest Friday
Night Attracts Big Crowd.
Harrison Wins Main Event

The boxing contests hel din the
rooms of A. A. A. last Friday night
were the most interesting events of
that kind ever pulled off here. and
shows the knowledge of Bob Oliver
in making matches, and his intention
of having things on the square.
The preliminary four round go be-
tween Johnny Allen, of Butte and
Young Smith, of Hoquiam, was about
the fastest preliminary one ever
saw; it looked for a time as though
it was the main event.
About the first thing Allen did
was to put his man down for almost
the count, but Smith came back good
and strong, and for the rest of the
go it was give and take with a VEN
gaence, with honors SO even that it
was declared draw.
McIsaacs and Curley Carr gave
good exhibition, deserving the gen.
erOus applause bestowed upon them;
this was also declared a draw.
The main event, twenty round
go between Droxie Kid, of Aberdeen,
and Kid Harrison of Bellingham, was
the fastest thing ever seen here and
for an exhibition of mitigating was
highly satisfactory. 1t appeared to
me that Harrison had all the best
of the argument, from the start. and
knew it, and only waited a good OPP
portunity to put his man away.
This came in the twelfth round.
Both men proved themselves to be
game little men, possessed of lots of
science, the Droxie Kid showing to
the best advantage in open boxing,
but Harrison was far the best at
close boxing.

John Pattison has won his success
in life by hard and persistent fighting
and he is adopting the same method
to win the Office of governor. He has
plunged into the campaign with a
vigor and aggressiveness which is
winning the admiration of democrats
and republicans and proposes to keep
up the pace till the polls close on
election day. The people admire him,
because they recognize him as man
of the people who understands and
sympathizes with them.

CURRY DOOMED
FOR GOVERNOR
DR.. Layton Now Said to be
Behind Greenwood Man
for the Nomination

DOVER. Del, April 23.-Dr. Caleb r.
Layton, Of Georgetown. who for many
years was leader OF the Republican forces
OF Sussex county, who received some
hard blows at the recent State Republican
convention, has come 10 the front for
Thomas Curry. Of Greenwood as the can
didate for Governor on the Republican
ticket in this State next November.
Just what effect this viii have on the
forces OF the DUPONT and Richardson men,
who are back Of former State Senator S.
S. Pennewiil, also Of Georgetown, and a
cousin Of Curry, remains TO be seen.
The boom for Curry was launched at a
meeting Of Republican leaders Of Sussex
county held in Glendale.
Dr. Layton himself has been regarded
as a candidate for Governor. and this
new turn indicates that he has given VI
hope Of landing the nomination since his
defeat in the Sussex county caucus al
the State Convention.
At the convention word went around
that Mr.. Curry had ceased to be a SUD.
porter Of Mr.. Pennewill for Governor
and It caused some surprise. as Mr.. Curry
and Mr.. Pennewir are close friends and
live near each other
Some politicians think this may cause
an upheaval in the Sussex situation and
benefit the boom of Henry p. Cannon oi
