Stranger Is Found Dead.

Death due to causes unknown" was the verdict Of Coroner Vaughter Tuesday evening following the inquest over the body of John Rose, found lifeless in clump of weeds near the Union depot Tuesday morning. A post-mortem examination of the body was made. but, other than heart trou ble. the coroner was unable to make . statement as to the exact nature of the complications that caused the strangers death.
 The body lies at the Ruebel morgue, where it was taken shortly after it's discovery Tuesday morning, and has been viewed by many persons, some of whom remember having seen the man about the city for ten days past. but none of whom was able to gly the much desired information of the mans place of residence and family connections
 Early Tuesday morning Night Policeman Ed Turner found Rose ly- ing sick and intoxicated in the full glare of the sun. He assisted the man to the shade in the weeds and offered to send for physician. Say ing that his loss to the world would not be felt, Rose refused to be seen by a doctor and would accept nothing more of the officer than a drink of water, Turner procured the water and promised to return later with an- other cup. which he did a half hour later to find the stranger dead.
 As Rose had told Turner, It seems that he is without relatives, friends or money, and his body will probably be laid to rest in the pOtter's field.

Her Reserved Seat.

It was raining and the car was sop. ping wet Most of the passengers stood. but there are always excep- tions.
 One big pink man with snowy beard defied rheumatism and wet cloth by plumping himself down on one of the drippy seats. His presum- able wife, with laughing explanation that she was tired, seated herself in his lap And when the conductor came along to collect fares she in- quired, with the earnestness of one who seeks knowledge:
 Do I have to pay extra for re- served seat?"
 The conductor spoke no words that could so resounding down the corri. dors of time. He just grinned. and the passengers grinned with him.

Thanksgiving
Proclamation

OLYMPIA, Nov. 16.-Gov. Mead Sat
urday issued the following proclama =
ton:
"A beautiful and ennObling custom
made sacred by the usage of many
years, provides an occasion for univer-
sal Offering of thanks to the Giver of
all good. In this richly endowed pOr-
ton of our country, the march of pro-
gress has been uninterrupted, and the
commonwealth of Washington has been
advancing steadily to a position of un-
rivaled prosperity.
"In this land of opportunity, where
honest toll and earnest endeavOr go
not unreQuited, it is well that we, at
this season, should pause in our indi-
vidual exertions for material better
ment and consider the many blessings
that have been conferred upon us.
Now, therefore, /, Albert E. Mead
governor of the state of Washington,
in conformity with the proclamation of
the president of the United States, do
hereby designate and set apart Thurs
day, the 26th day of November, A. D.
1908, as Thanksgiving day, and do re-
commend that it be observed generally
in a fitting manner throughout the

nationality. Our aim is to relieve sur
fering and uplift the fallen We have
daily calls to assist the unfortunate
Much relief work has been done by
the army during the past year, and
members of the Walla Walla corps of
workers feel that a good years WORK
should be capped with a big event
which will cause the needy to remem-
ber their activity. To that end ar
rangements are to be taken up imme-
diately after Thanksgiving for the bas-
ket dinner which will make Christmas
merry one for many residents of
the city, and an effort will be made
to surpasS the work done during the
holiday season of last year.
I'VE have not the hundreds of Idle
men and destitute families that are
to be found in the larger cities of tn
state said Adjutant wilkins. "but
that fact makes it the easier FOR us
to care for those we find. Almost
every day We feed and board sick and
idle men, and make no boast of the
fact that we give the hungry restaur-
ant tickets which enable them to Sc
cure good meals. 1t is common oc-
currence, and We take it as a part OF
our daily work. However. there are
families in this city whose outlook for
the holiday season is anything but
promising, and they will come under
our personal care and supervision"

Our efforts this year are to be direct

Two years ago we adopted the plan

Preparing For
HOLIDAY Rush

I'VE are now preparing for the an
nual holiday rush, said Postmaster
E. l.. Brunton this morning, and with
in a short time the office, from top 10
bottom will be in as good condition as
nv private office OF course we try
to keep it 50 all the time, but the
amount of matter that accumulates n
a day is surprising, and we find it nee
essary to make two grand clean-ups
every year-one just before the noll-
days and another with the opening #
the summer season.
The BOYS on the force, especially the
carriers, look forward to the holiday
season with a feeling unlike that OF
most people, fer, to them it means
more than a good dinner and number
of appropriate gifts from dear friends
it means days of heavy work, days
when it seems we'll nigh impossible 10
keep up with the amount of matter
that goes through the office, especial
ly packages.
AS is always the case with the Walla
WalIa office. an effort will be made 10
have deliveries made on the regular
schedule throughout the busy month
the strain, they will have the satisfac-
ton of knowing that they did their
best, and angels could do no more. It
frequently happens, too, that with the
increased amount of mail matter, the
trains in different parts of the west
are held up by SHOWS and Washouts,
thus bringing in a veritable avalanche
of Junk" which covers up the clerks
and doubles the work of all.
Postmaster Brunton speaks favor
ably of the attitude of patrons of the
office when sucn conditions exist, saw
ing that the majority of people realize
fully the difficulties under which the
boys are working and show spirit of
patience. While it is hoped such a
spirit will not be necessary this win
ter. there is a possibility that the holi-
day rush and the bad weather viii
combine to make things uncomfortable
for the mail boys, and Walla Wallaus
will be expected to look on the bright
er side of life-and wait their turn

C0SgrOve Nay
Refuse TO Qualify

OLYMPIA, Nov. 16.-ADpointees of
Governor Mead believe that S. G.. Cos
grove will not return from California
to qualify unless his health is entirely
recovered. The story is current in the
capitol that Cosgrove' will remain IN
the mild California climate in a hope
of recovering his health, and will not
take chances with relapse by hur-
rying back to take the oath OF ONCE
and be formally inaugurated as COVER
nor next January.
It is declared by those who are IN
close touch with the present and pros
nectiye administrations that CosgroVe
and his family do not believe he will
he able to return to this state before
next spring or the following summer
Members of thep resent administration
doubt whether he will be back even at
that time.
It is generally accepted at Olym-
pia that in the event Cosgrove fails 10
qualify as governor Mead will continue
in office. one of the considerations for
Mead's retention of the place VIII r.
that he recognizes such promises as
Cosgrove may have made, and give
about half the appointments to Cos
grove followers. The other half OF the
state places would be retained, by the
Head administration, as a considera :
ton for Mead's taking care of the
| Cosgrove men.
Among some of the active CosgroFe
Supporters a movement is afoot 10 bring
back COsgrove at any cost and to IN
sist that he qualify no matter what the
effect upon his health might be- TINS
| is an effort to prevent Mead from con-
tinuing in office and to qualify Hay
| for Cosgrove's successor in the event
Cosgrove cannot finish his term. Some
of the warmest supporters of Hay are
in sympathy with the movement to in
duce Cosgrove to make any sacrifice to
qualify as governor.
