Apropos of Turner's meanness, II Is
told how elliot, a patron OF Turner
called upon the great painter to pur'
chase his work and said:

time. poured out a glass The con
noisseur drank it,

glass of wine have ever tasted. You
mean old fraud I'll be equal to you
next time"
Next year elliot came around again.
After business, wine was suggested

to produce his port. elliot drank it,
and then spluttered:
"Oh, good gracious! Am ! pois-

LAYS DEATH TO LAcING
Doctor Says Use of Tight Corsets
Was Partial Cause

Cincinnati, Aug. TT would not
say that Elsie Gasser's death was
wholly caused by tight lacing but |
do say that the pernicious effects of
this evil custom was in all probability
the partial cause of the girls failure
to rally from an operation for appen-
dicitis from which trouble she died."
said DR.. G. Strohbach.
Elsie Gasser, IS, the daughter of
Atty. and Mrs. John ]. Gasser up to a
few days ago had never been i'll day.
DR.. Strohbach the family physician,
often warned her of the evils of tight
lacing. At a picnic Elsie ate indis-
criminately and the attack of appendi-
citis began the same night.
When asked if one of the doctors
contemplated writing pamphlet
against tight lacing, DR.. Strohbach
said:
What good would pamphlet do?
Girls just will be so interested in style
that they will lace. No pamphlet Will
stop them"

WILL OBEY WIG AND
GOWN LAW
JUDGE GRIMSHAW SAYS THAT HE
KNOWS BUT LITTLE OF THE
NEW LAW YET HE WILL OBEY
ITS PROVISIONS.

The law passed by the last legis-
lature, which makes it mandatory
upon superior and supreme court
judges to wear the wig and gown, is
causing a great deal of comment over
the state. 1t is a matter on which
the superior judges are divided.
Judge Black, of SnOhomish, expresses
himself that he will not ape royalty
and wear the wig and gown. Judge
Grimshaw, when seen today by a
Daily World reporter on this matter,
stated that while he had not read the
law, yet he assumed that there was a
provision in the law prescribing that
superior court judges should wear the
wig and the gown, and if such was
the law he certainly would obey it.

State Railroad Commission Orders New
Depot for Leavenworth but Great
Northern Officials Say That Division
Point Will Be Moved to This City in
Near Future.

The people of Wenatchee have not
taken the initiative towards securing
the railway division point for this
place from Leavenworth, but it
seems to be the disposition of the
railway company to make the change
on their own volition. Last week,
when the state railway commission
was at Leavenworth, radical changes
were ordered in the depot at that
place. The commission recommend
ed that an additional waiting room
should be built, running water and
electric lighting and sanitary closets
to be installed at the depot and the
freight shed enlarged. This prac-
tically meant a new depot and the
people of that city were much re-
joiced, but it is understood that the
Great Northern officials have come
back with the statement that there
would be no new depot at all, but
that arrangements are being made to
transfer the division point to this
city. The matter of making the

Bailey is the owner Of the hotel and
when asked what his intentions were
in regard to opening up this firts-

ever, that he intimated that If he
could secure an exclusive liquor fran
chise he would again open up the
hotel. Several of our leading citi-
zens were interviewed by the gentle
men on this matter, but received but
little encouragement. Both Mr.. Bal

markable strides Cashmere is MAX

BOUGHT PESHAST|N
TRACT
Il. A. Hannah From Indiana is Now
Owner of 13O Acres Tract
Bought from A. w. Mum
dem for $4,000.

Mr.. and Mrs. A. A. Hannah ar
rived here about month ago from
Indianapolis, where Mr.. Hannah was
staff photographer of the Indian
apolis News. They had had the
western fever for some time and on
arriving on the coast they visited
various sections, but found no place
that would suit them until they ar
rived in the Wenatchee valley.
They have been negotiating for
land for some time but did not close
up the deal until this morning, when
they became the owners of the A.
w. Mundem place, two miles from
Peshastin. There are 130 acres in
/. the tract, 5 acres in bearing orchard,
8 acres in young trees and 70 acres
under the Peshastin ditch. The bal
ance of the land is pasture and tim
ber land. The consideration was
about $4,000.
This is fine home and Mr.. and
Mrs. Hannah will move onto the
place at once and make that their
permanent home.
Mr.. Hannah has been with the
Indianapolis News for a number Of
years and his brother-in-law Is busi-
ness manager of the paper. He
states that there is a genral move
ment westward among the eastern
ers. The western fever is very con-
tagious. Mr.. Hannah states that
Frank Bowers, who is brother-in-
law of Homer Davenport, the great
cartoonist, and is himself a cartoon
list of the Indianapolis News and who
has national reputation. is also to
come west this spring and to locate
near Mr.. Hannah.

change has been a common report
among the railway people since it
was definitely decided to make We
natchee the terminal point of the
Wenatchee-Moses Coulee branch.
Ultimately Wenatchee will also be
the terminal point for the road to
be built up the Columbia river and
as railroad men view it there can
be no legitimate reason for main
tanning the division point at Lea
venworth. While Wenatchee bears
Leavenworth no i'll will and always
rejoices in the growth and progress
of that town, yet the monthly pay
roll of the railway employees sta
toned at a division point is always
welcome to any town.
1t is thought that the location of
a roundhouse ana the building of
miles of sidetrack near the bridge
is for the purpose of definitely locat-
ing the Great Northern division
point in this city, and as soon as
these are completed that the change
will be made.

D|SCOvERSFLAW IN
BRIDGE TITLE
PURCHASE BY STATE OF STRUC-
THEREFORE, HELD UP-AP.
PROACH OWNED BY G. n.
(By Associated Press.)

Olympia, May 22.-Purchase of the
Wenatchee bridge by the state has
been delayed because a flaw has been
discovered in the title by the attor-
'ney general. An abstract of the title
shows that the approach of this
bridge crosses the Great Northern
right of way and that the bridge was
CONSTRUCTED under an easement from
the railroad which may be revoked
at any time on 80 days notice. In
passing Oh the title the attorney gen.
eral says:
The bridge will be utterly useless
to the public without this approach,
and while the state might condemn a
right of way and secure a perpetual
easement it should not be called upon
to do so when it is paying full value
for the BRIDGE
The company is asking the state to
pay $1S2,207 for the bridge, which,
it says, originally cost $17S,233. Add
ed to the original cost the company
includes 5000 operating expenses and
about $4,000 for interest. From the
gross amount, $17,317 is subtracted
having been contributed by the citi-
zens of Wenatchee.

hours he was going to spend in
speeding w. r. Prowell, W. H. Hal
ling and a gentleman from Seattle to
look over a piece of land below NAL
ting estimates from the local auto
mobile doctor as to the cost of in
stallirg auxiliary power in the ma
ture of horseflesh, that he may have
a reasonable guarantee that he will
not again be compelled to walk back
ihome pushing his gas wagon.
Messrs. Prowell and Halling phon-
ed their wives not to expect them
home for dinner, that it would be
long after darkness o'erspread the
city before they put in an appearance
owing to the dusty condition of the
road, which makes fast walking i'm
possible and quite disagreeable. II
is rumored that Mr.. Halling's "toot-
sies," that which are incased in long
riding boots of latest pattern, are
giving him considerable discomfort
and it may be found necessary odis-
patch q livery rig to meet him and
bring him the rest of the way home.
The young lady that passed these
unfortunate gentlemen down the road
some 10 or IL miles from town and
reported the occurrence, says: ut is

talk; why, to look at either Mr..
