AfHnities Confess to Murder.


TScoma-Charles Newcomb and
Mrs Kvalshaug have confessed a
cold blooded plot to murder Martin
Kva,shaug, who was killed at l
O'Clock Saturday morning within
two blocks of his own home.
According to the confession of
the prisoners, they have been plan
ming the murder for months. New
comb said that he had stationed
himself at a point where he knew
Mr.. and Mrs. Kvalshaug would pass
on their way home from a dance.
He held Il large rock In one hand,
and when the couple were opposite
him, reached out from his conceal
ment and struck down his victim.
While Kvalshaug was writhing on
the ground, Newcomb commanded
the woman to go away and he then
fired three shots into the PROSTATE
mans body. Mrs. Kvalshaug then
picked up the revolver and fired two
shots into her husbands body. New
combe says the plot originated In
the brain of Mrs. Kvalshaug.

Seattle-A man and woman who
registered at local hotel Saturday
morning as H. o. Games and wife
of Tacoma, are believed to have
come to this city for the express
purpose of committing suicide to-
gether. The woman is dead at the
city hospital, from bullet wound in
the left breast
Eames told the police that the
woman was Mrs. Anna Burke; that
he had come from Denver with her
two years ago and that they had
lived in Tacoma as man and wife;
that they had been drinking for
several days and becoming despon-
dent over financial troubles they had
decided to come to Seattle and kill
themselves.
While he was absent from the
room, Eames says, Mrs. Burke took
his pistol from a bureau drawer and
shot herself.

Let the Party Pledge Be Redeemed

The business interests, that all-pow-
erful factor in American politics, wants
the passage of the tariff bill rushed.
This same business interest delayed its
importantly until bill to suit the busi-
ness interest was reported by Mr.. Aid
rich, then it promptly set the business
wheels in motion to have the bill
rushed thru, claiming that the enor-
nous sum of ten million dollars is be-
ing lost every day passage is delayed.
Mr.. James ]. Hill, chairman of the
Great Northern board Of directors made
trip to Washington recently and hob
nobbed with the president for a half
hour, incidentally throwing out hint
that the delay in passing the tariff bill
was retarding the return Of prosperity.
Just how many representatives get
busy when Mr.. Hill speaks is not re-
corded, but doubtless there be some.
There are some, and they are good
republicans, too, who think that it is
of more lasting importance that the
right kind of tariff bill be passed.
One that is in keeping with the pledge
made by the republican party last No
vember.
For some forty years the republican
party, whenever it has revised the tar
if, has always revised upward, on the
theory that our infant industries re-
quired the fostering arm of high pro-
tective tariff to keep them on their
feet. The public watched such in
fants as the steel trust, which often
made the infant plea, grow to a billion
dollar stature, and they have come to
believe that high tariff had something
to do with this rapid and abnormal fnan-
cial growth. Recognizing this belief,
and in response to the wishes of the
republican voters, the republican nat
ional convention adopted a platform
promising to promptly revise the tariff,
and that promise was understood to
mean revise downward. If the repub-

A Barren Existence Closed

I'D rather be toad, and feed upon
the vapors of dungeon, than such a
man."
Outside of the small circle of those
who were interested with him in max
ing money, the death of Henry H.
Rogers, on Wednesday morning, will
excite very little comment. He lived
for himself. Cared for no one and
devoted his whole time to making
money, in which pursuit he was en-
inently successful. If he was born
with any of the milk of human kind
ness, his occupation dried it up. He
had supercilious contempt for all the
forms of law and civilized society. He
recognized no law but might, and held
money to be the most potent and most
sacred thing in life. One can not help
remembering the sneering replies he
made two years ago to the proper
questions of Mr.. Hadley, then attorney
generl, now governor OF the common
wealth of Missouri, in the famous
oil cases. No more can one help
recalling the fine, manly dignity with
which the young attorney general
treated the scornful retorts OF the great
money getter. Mr.. Hadley will die,
too, one day, as we all must, but what
different heritage he will! leave to his
offspring. An honored name. Remem-
bered for good deeds and life devoted
to his God, his country and his fellow
men.
Is life, devoted to the one sordid
end Of piling up money, worth living2
Mr.. Rogers died leaving hundred
million dollars, more or less, and is no
better off-not as well, as the dead
beggar who yesterday divided his
scanty meal with less fortunate
brother beggar.

The Municipal Water Proposition

At the meeting of the council next
Tuesday night the important matter of
whether Leavenworth shall issue bonds
to build municipal water plant will
come up for decision. AS will be noted
in the report of the proceedings of the
council at the special meeting held last
Tuesday night the estimated cost of
water brought from Snow creek in an
eight inch pipe to a reservoir located
at some point in the town is $4,000.
This does not cover the cost OF pipes
and laying the same to convey water
to the consumers, which would entail
a further cost of approximately $4,000
There is this to be said in favor of the
proposition, that with water from
Snow creek the town would be sup
piled with the best and purest water
obtainable with very little likelihood
that it could ever be contaminated
with impurities. The nature of the
country thru which the creek runs is
such that it is all but inaccessible to
man, not to speak of stock, and as its
name would indicate it is cold. Snow
creek is fed by the melting snow from
Mount Stewart, peak that is never
without mantel of white.
A committee of two was appointed
to receive proposition from the Tum-
water Light & Water Co. What the
nature Of this proposition will be can
not now be told. Should the COM
pany make liberal proposition to the
town it might be advisable for the
town to enter into a contract with that
company. The parties who are pro-
noting the irrigating scheme, Messrs.
Scheble, Chase and Buttles, may also
be on hand with proposition to sup
ply the town with water, so that the
town will have choice of three propo-
sitions.
At this time it is impossible to ex-
press an opinion as to the merits of
either of them.

Where is the trouble to end. Now
the charge is made that Governor Hay
was stakeholder in the Wenatchee
bridge corporation at the time the bill
paying 500, 900 for the bridge passed
the Senate, and that this was one oil
the few graft bills that the governor
signed. The question may also be
asked how many OF the members who
voted for the bill also owned stock in
the bridge company? Such things
have been. There was difference oil
$40, 900 in the price at which the
bridge was bought and offered to the
state two years previous.

protectionist, but a high protectionist.
I believe in it like the heather be-
lieves in his idol" said Congressman
Cushman in his speech on the tariff a
few days ago. Mr.. Cushman's flippant
allusion to his tariff convictions does
him no credit. If he can give no
better reason for being a high protec-
ZIONIST than the heather can for being
a heather it will not appeal to intelli-
gent people.

The report is going the rounds OF
the press that ex-Secretary of State
Nichols was assured that he would not
be prosecuted if he would resign his
office. If he has violated the law he
should be treated like any other law
violator. II he has violated no law it
is doing him an injury to guarantee
immunity from prosecution.

Representative Beach OF Mason
county, has filed some indefinite
charges against twelve state officials.
The trouble with the representative
who said he voted against the women

to is that his charges lack sincerity.
He was one OF the most violent op-
ponents of investigation in the legis-
lature. If there is anything in his
charges let them be investigated, Of
course. Acting on the theory that
when thieves fall out honest men get
their dues something may come of his
charges.

Wheat made no material advance
until &C per cent of it was already out
of the hands of the farmers. Just
watch it go down when the first bushel
of new wheat comes in. A peculiarly
OF these wheat advances is that they
come after the man who raised the
wheat has parted with it.
