The Presbyterian church of the

inaugurated a department of church

of Charles Stetzle. both a minister and
a member of a labor union, has grown
ITO be one of the most important aux
iliaries of the organization. Rev. Stetzle
is now on the programs of all big la
Dor conventions, and his monthly arti-
cles, written for the larger labor jour
nails, are read with keen interest. Du-
ring the five years that the department
has been in operation, much has been
accomplished in bringing the labor1ns

continue it's studies upon sociological

has returned from a visit of week
spent in Olympia and in other Sound
cities. and is just recovering from
severe attack of tonsolitis. In an In

have been settled in his favor.

presented the arguments tending to
show The necessity and the probability
of securing an artesian we'll on the
prison grounds, and 1 am frank to say
that every member of the committee
seemed to agree with me that such
well would be a most valuable asset to
the institution. AS the Blalock wells
have been secured but a short distance
from the prison, the committeeman felt
that one could be secured at the prison
and I believe there will be no trouble
in securing the appropriation. However
a great deal of money has been asked
for. and this must be taken into consld-
eratiOn.'
Other appropriations for the I'M

before the committee. and it is con-

thousand dollars will be given for the
betterment of both grounds and build

tence pronounced by Judge Hlnkle, OF
Spokane. Saturday morning. The SEN
tence of the court was from tive 10 II
years, and it seems probable that the
defendant has a good chance to serve
full time The sentence was passed
after the court had overruled a motion
for a new trial. The defendant was found
guilty by a trial on January 10. he was
accused of entering a room at the
Leonard lodging house and securing
s12O from w. Donald. the occupant
Smith. who is AZ years old, is known
by many aliases to officers IN seVerd,
different states. Among his assumed
names are Tully, Hart, and Welch. he
has served terms behind bars In Ne"
York. i'm Utah and at Walla Walla.
There was some suggestion that an
effort would be made to prove the oe-
PENDANT an habitual criminal WHICH,
would make him eligible to lie sen
tence. but this plan will not be fol-
lowed.

VOTERS ARE SLOW
IN REGISTERING

Although the registration books in
the Office of City Clerk Hart have
been opened for two months, but 115
voters have taken time by the forelock
and attached their names to the re-
quired oath. Unless voters take more
interest for the coming few months the
total of last year, 1881, will not be
reached, and consequently some voters
will be denied the right of franchise.
City election this year comes on July
u, and as the books will have to be
closed 20 days prior to that date, June
"a, will be the last opportunity given
for registration. The date of the pri-
mary elections has not yet been de-
ermined but the books will be kept
open prior to and following that event.
