Will Appear Tonight.-Is the Third
Number of Wenatchee Lecture
Course.
Opie Read is here.

Opie Read is here.
Somebody called him the Grim
old humorist."
Somebody else has called him
Americas s Prince of Funmakers.
He came in today and is now at
the Chewawa Hotel; where he is TAX
ing it easy till tonight. This even
ing he will be entertained at dinner
by the Tammany Club. His lecture
tonight at the Wenatchee Theater
will commence at $3.50.
He is still suffering from a severe
attack of rheumatism, and is spend
ing the afternoon in bed, so as to
be ready for the game when it opens
tonight.
The Denver Post has the following
to say of Opie Read;
Last night had that opportunity
to hear Opie Read, and | am still
smiling to myself-not alone at what
he said, but his manner of saying it.
He is such big fellow, physically
and mentally; so full of vitality and
life that his very presence is like a
breath of fresh, pure air. Six feet
four, he stands, broad of shoulder aud
mighty of girth,- with a great leonine
head crowned with silky dark hair,
which he wears trifle long. He has
a bold, handsome face, with a strong
aGuiline nose, pair of luminous eyes
fringed with black, and a broad,
white brow; a tender, feminine sort
of mouth, and the short, round chin
with which men of imagination are
usually marked His voice suits his
appearance, being full and mellow,
will full touch of pathos, without
which no voice is really beautiful.
MI Read is parsonage of fame up-
on two continents-as they read his
looks, laugh a. ri5 humor and ap-
lJaud his plays in Merry England
as much as we do here in our beIov-
el America. II has been a news. "a
per writer, a novelist, a playwriter
and lecturer for many years, and
is known and loved all over our coun-
try, with which he is as familiar as
many of us are with our own city
He says tha. this is his last lecture
tour for at least ten years, as he has
signed a contract with a great the
atrical combine to write one play a
year, for thai length of time. They
are to give him $4,000 a year, and
he thinks, if he tries hard, that he
can manage TO live on that-that is,
he and Mrs. Read and the little
Reads. In the meantime, he is TAX
ing a sort of farewell trip through
the west, with his eyes very wide
open for color and his ears pointed
forward for characters'-and Incl
dentally, he is giving interpretations
of his own stories and plays. Go and
see him. If you are good material
you may some day discover yourself
in metropolitan play, provided he
sees you; but you can stand that for
the sake of seeing and hearing him."

ANENT THE
C|TY'S HEALTH.
Health Officer Kaupp Points Out
Necessity of Proper Sanita-
tiOn.

On assuming control of the de-
partment of the city's health and
sanitary affairs, l am more than ordi-
narily impressed with the Importance
of the duties which this Office i'm
poses upon me. l feel that this
branch of the city's affairs isbyno
means the least important.
The city's growth and progress has
been marked and the requirements
of sanitation must go hand in hand
with other developments. One of
the first questions asked when seek
ing home is about the health and
sanitation of place, and while we
can boast of many favorable fea-
lures of our beautiful city, we can
not deny the fact that we are very
inefficient in the possession of the IA
cilities for sanitary perfection and
until the city has a system of sew
erage, vigilance and close inspection
must be strictly maintained.
Until we can convince the public
that we are vitality interested in this
direction there will be some hesita-
ton on the part of strangers to build
their homes and cast their fortunes
among us. In order to secure the
best results in obtaining and sus-
! tanning a healthy atmosphere it Is
necessary that a cheerful and earn
est cooperation of all our citizens be
enlisted.
AS the head of this department I
invite and will consider any sugges-
tions advanced by any one tending
toward the advancement and i'm
provement for the public health and
good. The raging of smallpox in our
midst is a calamity fraught with
much inconvenience and expense to
| the individual as well as the public.
l think that all have awakened to
the fact that the united efforts of
to suppress and rid us of tins loath-
some disease.
! DR.. Blake is giving much of his
time in tracing the source and stop
ping the spread of the smallpox, but
there are few who are not favora-
BILE to the necessary measures taken
for it's suppression, and therefore are
slow to report and aid him in its
early discovery. The common obser-
those who have not been yaccinated
holds good in this case. DR.. Blake
reports that all known cases in town
occurred among those who had never
been vaccinated. | would urge upon
all fair minded people to see that
all whom they control submit to this
agent as a preventive. Once more
l urge the cooperation of all who
are interested in the health, wealth
and prosperity of our much favored
city.

City Health officer.

BISCUITS
AND BO0SE
Supreme Court Judge Says Poor
Cooking is Driving Men to
Drink

New York, Jan. 20.-That women
cook so badly that they drive their
husbands to drink was the statement
made yesterday by Supreme Court
Justice Greenbaum, in an address at
the Hebrew Technical School for
Girls. After describing the excellent
work being done by the school, the
justice said:
I'm this country the cooking is far
from what it ought to be, particularly
in the country districts, where nature
has endowed the soil with all
that should make for ideal conditions
as to food. Yet the average woman
there knows nothing about cooking.
The cooking is vile. Children are
nourished improperly. The wage
Garner, the bread winner, does not
receive proper food to sustain him.
[ have no doubt that many men go
to saloons at night just because they
are improperly norished at home.

Constitutional Question Arises i'm
Reference to Judges POindexter
and Smell.

Spokane, Jan. 20-The announce
ment by Judge Miles Poindexter of
Spokane of his candidacy for congress
and the reported candidacy of Judge
w. E. Smell of Tacoma for governor,
are the subject of considerable gos-
sip in and around the state capitol,

Section Is. The judges of the su-
preme court and the judges of the
superior court shall be ineligible to

OPENED BANK
WHILE ASLEEP
Robbers Arrested in Seattle Make
Unique Confession of How They
Got Into Bank.

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 20.-A unique
confession was made yesterday to
A. F. Thomason, president of the Ma
tional bank of Hattiesburg, by James
Harper and w. T. Smith, bank rob-
bers, brought back from Seattle,
Wash, where they were caught after
long chase.
Harper says the bank president
walked in his sleep. He and Smith
watched the bank for several nights,
according to their confession, and
frequently witnessed Thomason en-
ter, with the aid of his door key.
They never dreamed that he was not
in full possession of his senses until
they saw him under an electric. light,
with his eyes closed. Then the rob-
bers say they conceived a plan to en-
ter the bank with Thomason and to
gag him if he came out of his trance.
They declare that Thomason gave
them the combination of the safe.
which they looted, and that they left,
leaving Thomason asleep in the
bank.

RAILROAD at
ToRNEY MAKES
HIS THREAT
Railroad Commission Would Retail
ate by Issuing Order for 7sc.
Fare.

Olympia, Jan. 20.-L. C. Gilman,
attorney for the Great Northern, is
said to have told Commissioner
Lawrence that if the state railroad
commission persists in the effort to
enforce the rule providing that hold
ers of mileage books must not be
required to pay more than the regu-
lar fare charged, the railroad COM
panies in the state will withdraw
mileage books.
The working of the railroad COM
mission rule is as follows: The ex-
act mileage between Olympia and
Seattle is 73. The Northern Pacific,
however, to meet boat competition,
charges regular one-way fare of
$1.S0. When a mileage books is
presented for this trip the conduct
or pulls 73 miles. The commission
says he must pull only 60 miles.
The Great Northern has failed to
observe the rule, and many COM
plants have come to the commits
sion. Commissioner Lawrence says
action will be taken against the rail-
roads in every case where there is
sufficient evidence. He also said
that if the threat of Attorney Gilman
is carried out, the commission will
issue an order making the regular
fare in the state 2 " cents mile.

dearth of borrowers of the class the
banks desire to serve as there was of
lenders three months ago. Such a
reversal of conditions has never
been equaled. The Spokane Clear
ing House association have $780,
900 in gold in trust company's
vaults, but instead of issuing certifi-
Gates against this to pay daily bal
ances, as was done before the depres-
sion in the east, these are being
paid in cash, the result being that
each bank is dumping it's cash upon
the other. This overstock of ready
money is partly the result of efforts
to send currency east. Bankers and
business men are looking forward
to an active constructive period and
improvements in all lines of trade,
and this, they say, is sure to come
despite the fact that the last quarter
was the best in the history of the
counry at this time of the year.

Spokane, Dec. 20.-Banks in Spo-

basis, have a surfeit of gold, silver
900 being piled up in the vaults.
Money can be borrowed at and s

the rate on commercial paper drops

cheaper money in this part of the
country. There is as much of a

THE MIRACLE OF A SHEEP.

The following is an abstract from an article written by the editor of the Stock and Station Journal, Sydney, Australia:
 A man was teaching class about cattle and he said: Now, can any boy tell me what a COW is?" I don't know, was the reply he expected, but a small boy gave him the correct an- swer. He said:
 Please, sir, a COW is an animal with four legs, one on each corner"
 That was a good answer and the boy had my sympathy. If any one were to ask me, what is a sheep? do you know what I would say? My an swer would be: "A sheep is a mi racle" So it is. There isn't a more marvellous animal in the world than a sheep, and at all our pastoral and agri- cultural gatherings we ought to toast the sheep. But we don't simply be- cause nobody ever thinks of the source of all our wealth We count our wool returns in millions of pounds sterling and the mutton sales are enormous, and the whole country profits by the sheep, but who ever thinks of it? Hardly anybody except from the point of view of pounds, shillings and pence. Did ever tell you about the great Florentine Giotto, who made his mark on the sands of time? I don't think I ever did, for I know heap of things that 1 haven't told you yet, although I've been telling you stories for a good many years.
 One day, when Giotto was standing in the streets of Florence, telling stories and laughing, a pig ran be- tween his legs and upset him. He got up, very angry, but when he saw the pig rushing down the street he laughed and cried: "Ah, you villain, you! And yet, look at the lot of money have made with your bristles, and l never gave you even a glass of wine"
 Good old Giotto. Look at the money some men have made out of wool, but have never thought about the miracle Of sheep. That's our trouble. We hardly ever think about anything. If we did, we would find the kingdom of God on earth. As it is, we mostly find the other kingdom.

Here are some good suggestions for

Here are some good suggestions for your kitchen: Have your shades and curtains of white muslin that can be laundered. When using your gas stove in the summer, cover the top of your coal range with newspapers, which will make handy table. Have your rack near the stove, so that your tow els will get we'll dried after each dish washing. A small shelf should be put up near the stove to hold your salt and pepper box Cover the back wall of your sink with oil cloth, preferably white, and here may be hung your broom, shovel, dish mop and soap box. In a box or drawer may be kept the necessary articles for ironing. The top may be covered with oil cloth, and will give an extra table. A chest of drawers is useful and almost neces- sary for keeping the kitchen towels and aprons, besides many other useful articles It is well to keep in the kitchen bottle of linseed oil and lime water, together with a roll of old linen pieces for Dandages, for use in case of burns.

So long as the farmer goes round with his mouth hung down as if he were ready for the last great day to come. so long will you hear of the boys leaving the farm" There is no sense in the farmer always playing the part of the poorest man on earth.

The spirit of distrust and persecu. ton of corporations is the result of ignorance and frequently runs to vice. A corporation is simply a man created person before the law, having only such rights and privileges as are pro- vided for his creature. The regula. ton of trusts is simply the regulation of partnership affairs without the in. diyidual responsibility of the partners. Many of the corporations need regula. ton, but none of them need persecu. ton.
