1t is understood that Marshall has
his address and message finished and
that 1t is in the hands of the printer.
While no information has been obtain
ed by anyone as to what it will con-
tain, 1t is said that he made a remark
the other day that indicated that he
will not, at this session, recommend
the creation of a public utilities COM
mission. 1t is known that Marshall
favors such commission, or at least
an enlargement of the powers and jur-
isdiction of the railroad commission
SO as to give it authority over all
kinds of public utilities, but it is said
that he has not yet worked out plan
in his own mind that he believes
should be followed in creating such a
commission or enlarging the power OF
the present one.
Governor Hanly is working on his
message, but had not finished it today
Nothing has been learned as to what
1t will contain and there is no one that
even goes SO far as to guess on it. 1t
is possible, said Secretary Babcock,
that the message may not be finished

from rage. Il will come out there, invi-

The girl only laughed. She hadn't
the remotest idea that Strickland real
ly meant to carry out his threat. and
she and Timmons joked about it on
their way to the Harris farm.

pitched forward from their chairs and
fell at the feet of their partners in the

the trigger third time. A muffled

There is prevailing impression that
there is something in the word win

son Is usually associated with the idea
Of low temperature. but where the
word originated there was little of
winter as we understand it, while
there was a great deal of moisture. at
the time the earth was nearest to the
sun, SO that it is not the temperature
but the atmospheric condition that has
given US the word.
The word winter" as we use it, Ia
found with but slight notifications In
all the branches of the Aryan Ian
guages, for the idea Of wetness asso-
ciated with the season was given to 1t
before the Aryan family was divided.
If we 60 to the root Of the word we
find "wad," with the Specification of to
well, to wash out, to moisten or make
wet. Our Aryan ancestors used that
root to apply to all conditions of
moisture, and many words besides
winter have grown out of 1T, wet and
water being among them.
This root "wad'' is in the Sanskrit as
"udan," water. Anglo-Saxon has "wae.

Red Plant Which Feeds Upon Ants
and Other insects.
Almost everybody knows there are
such things as insectivorous or carniv-
orous plants, but it is doubtful If many
know we have any such plants grow
ing right here in southern Florida.
Nevertheless there is plant, or, rath-
er, herb. growing here which il really
1nsectivorous.
1t IL likely that on account Of its be-
Tag extremely small it has escaped

rs we are unable to find 1t classed
among the sensitive plants.
This Is an annual herb, and the en-
tire plant. including the flowers, is OF
Z deep rich red color. 1t rarely reach
ed a height of more than three inches
and 10 never 80 broad. The leaves arc
spatulate when undisturbed and pre-

sects. such az ants and the like. upon
which 1t feeds. When any OF these get
lodged in the fluid and disturb these
hbrillae the leaves slowly acquire .
deep cut shape and sometimes curl
completely up over their victim. When
they have absorbed the insect they
slowly recover their original shape,
leaving only the skeleton OF the insect
remaining.

GORDON IN
SPOKANE
STILL DECLARES HIS lNNO-
CENCE AND HIS ATTORNEYS
FEEL CERTAIN CONVICTION
IS IMPOSSIBLE.

Judge M. J. Gordon, former coun-
sci for the Great Northern, charged
with embezzlement, arrived from
Tacoma shortly after noon today
and was Immediately closeted with
his attorneys.
Judge Gordon was released from
custody in Tacoma on a bond for
$4,000, given by John A. Rea of
Tacoma and George U. Mills, of
Olympia, former state treasurer. 1t
may be that Judge Gordon will be
required to give a new bond after
his arraignment here, as the Taco
ma bond is given only to insure
his presence in court.
In the event of Judge Gordon be-
ing required to give a new bond
here a number of his wealthy Spo-
kane friends, including such men
as Judge George Turner and
Colonel w. M. Ridpath, have an
nounced their readiness to go on
his bond.
No statement will be given out
by Judge Gordon until after he has
consulted with his counsel, beyond
the formal declaration of his limo
cence and that he cannot see
where the state hopes to secure
his conviction.
Frank Graves and Nuzum e
Nuzum of Spokane. and Charles
Potter Sullivan of Seattle, will rep
resent Judge Gordon
The attorneys for Judge Gordon
say that he will be able to show a
clean bill in the Sparrow case, in
which he was arrested. The wit
nesses to the transaction are
among Judge Gordon's counsel,
and they say the state will have a
hard time to show any wrongdoing.
The train bearing Prosecuting
Attorney F. c. Pugh is held up by
washout somewhere between Sc
attic and Spokane, and had not
arrived in the early hours of this
afternoon.
Gordon's appearance in court
will be arraigne dwhen Prosecutor
Pugh arrives.

MAN
LEFT DYING

Aged, sick and helpless, with no
one to care for him, and yet I'M
willing to go to the poorhousc,
Martin Zeilsdors is a serious prob.
lem for his neighbors. The sufferer
is IS years old and it is feared
that unless he receives speedy
medical attention and care. he will
die in his shack at 1927 Stage
avenue.
C. F. Dahlen has been giving the
old man what care he could, but
he will be away shortly, and is
anxious to procure some means of
securing attention for his volun-
tary charge.
Mr.. Dahlen appealed to the city
health Office, but was told that this
department could do nothing ex-
cept in cases of contagious disease.
The county officials were next
informed. One of the county doc
tors force walked into the shack
and asked Zeilsdors il he was the
man who wanted to go to the poor
house.
Mention of the poorhouse fright
ened the sufferer, and he pleaded
to be spared what he considered
disgrace. He owns several hun
dred dollars worth Of property
where he lives. although he has no
money. and objects to being class
ed as a pauper The county Off
cial turned around and went out.
That Is the last attention paid by
the county to the case.
Meanwhile the old man is dying
for want of care. There seems to
be no official method of reaching
his case. Official humanity must
be strictly according to law it
seems. Unless some help is forth
coming, the old man will die in
consequence.
