"WETS FAIL TO FOLLOW
UP THEIR ADVANTAGE

Olympia, Wn., March S,-The
"wets" this morning are unable tc
muster the necessary two-thirds vote
to sustain the rules of the house and
pass the local option bill. The
"drys" resisted on the ground that
they have not had time to digest the
smaller amendments. McMaster said
the "drys" will not make a further
fight on the bill and that the plea for
delay was made in good faith.
It is rumored that Governor Hay
will refuse to sign the option bill
when it comes to him. The house
killed Tenick's two bills, preventing
the burning of slashings during the
exposition. The object was to keep
the SKY clear.
The senate killed Cotterill's bill
providing for the Incorporation of
statement Number l in the state ell
ection laws. 1t passed the new state
capitol bill. throwing open millions
OF dollars worth of state timber lands
to the mercy of big spectators.

Miner Killed I'm Quarrel.

Butte, Mont.-Advices from SAL
mon, Idaho, tell of the killing of Will
liam Verges, an old-time miner and
prospector, at Indianola, last Friday,
during a quarrel with Charles lay
ton, postmaster at that place. SAL
mon and Indianola are both remote
from communication. There were no
eye-witnesses to the shooting except
Layton's 1O-year-old child. Both he
and the boy are in Jail. One report
states that Verges was beating lay
ton when the latter's son shot Verges
through the back.

Because they could not get enough
of the real forewater to make them
glorlously "piflicated," the Indians
have solved the difficulty of lack of
whskey by applying to the grocery
stores for flavoring extracts. This
they ask for on the plea that they
want the extract for their wives who
they claim are fine cooks and make
fine pies.
The increasing frequency with
which they were buying these flavors
aroused the suspicious of one of the
q. grocers who made an attempt to solve
the puzzle. At first he thought per-
haps that the Indians were having
some kind of n big potlatch on the
reservation, but as the purchases ex-
tended over considerable space of
time 1t was decided that the flavors
were not used for cooking purposes.
Thereafter a watch was kept on the
purchasers in order to find out what
disposition was made of the liquid
One certain big buck had been in the
habit Of coming into the store and
buying the extract soon after he had

The day of St. Steven old fathers did

The commonsense reason 1or
bleeding the horses on this day was
that both man and beast had the
three day following Christmas day
as a holiday. In parts of Bohemia
and elsewhere among the Slavic peoI
pies of Europe the master of the
house gets no work out of his serv-
ants from Christmas to Innocents'
day, and in many sections the holi-
day and general suspension OF work
is kept up until Twelfth day-Epi-
phany. Among the Valaks there is
a very significant custom. On the
morning of st. Stephens day the
mistress of the house presents her
husband with a pair of trousers in
token of her obedience during the
ensuing year. Evidently the suf-
fragette campaign has not reached
