JONES AND POINDEXTER
Congressman Jones to Leave a Clean Slate
For His Successor

The following Washington dispatch
appeared in the Wenatchee World of
Monday:
When Representative Jones leaves
the house and goes to the senate he
will leave a clean desk, as far as eastern
Washington matters are concerned.
Mr.. Jones said that for nearly two years
no new project of any pressing import
ance had been brought to his attention
in the eastern part Of the state. Every
city in that division, with the exception
of Colfax, has received an appropriation
for public buildings.
The Columbia river has received
good attention, and in case another
river and harbor bill is presented this
session, the appropriations at present
demanded will probably be provided
before Representative-elect Poindexter
arrives in Washington. When Mr..
Poindexter reaches the capital his first
commission will probably be to explain
to Speaker Cannon whether or not he
gave out an interview during the cam
paign placing himself in opposition to
Speaker Cannon and the house rules.
The story has been circulated in
Washington for some time that Mr..
Cannon was told that Mr.. Poindextei
had taken this stand, whereupon the
speaker remarked that he would prob
ably have to consign Mr.. Poindexter tc
the committee on slaughter houses.

On the Death of Herbert E. Meeker

Herbert Edwin Meeker, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Edward Meeker, died Jan. 8,
1909, was laid to rest in Leavenworth
cemetery Sunday afternoon. Service
was held at the home by Rev. Davis,
many friends being present to pay their
last respect to one they loved. Little
Herbert had a sweet and afectionate
disposition and was truly light in the
home of his parents. Weep not papa
and mama for he is not dead but only
sleeping. He leaves a father, mother,
one brother, three sisters and many
relatives and friends to mourn his loss.
A precious one from US has gone,
A voice we love is stilled,
A place is vacant in our midst
Which never can be filled.
God in His wisdom has recalled
The boon His love has given
And though the body moulders here
The soul is safe in Heaven.
Call not back the dear departed
Anchored safe, where storms are
Ger,
On the border land we left thee,
Soon to meet to part no more.
When we leave this world OF change
When we leave this world of care
We shall find our missing loved on,
In our Fathers mansion fair.

TWO YOUTHFUL HOLD-UPS
Two Boys Aged and 2 Take I s Cents
From Boy Aged 8 in Vancouver
Washington

The Vancouver Columbian of last
week gives the following acrount of
youthful depravity in that city:
What would be called highway rob-
berry had it been committed by men,
was committed on Ninth street in this
city by two children scarcely out of
their swaddling clothes yesterday after
noon about S o'clock.
Gerald Cheney, aged 8 years, was
going home after having sold three
papers for IS cents, which money he
had in an inside pocket. When he got
little above the Railroad hotel, two
boys, Bud Petrain, aged 9 years, and
Wesley Young, aged 7 years, stopped
him and asked him how many papers
he had sold. II sold three" answered
Gerald.
Pointing the revolver, which, how
ever, was not loaded, at him, Wesley
Young said, "Divvy over your money"
But he did not do so. Then Wesley
told little Bud Petrain to go through
Gerald's pockets, which he did, getting
the IS cents, which they took. Gerald
was then permitted to go on his way
home, where he told his mother that he
had been robbed of his paper money.
The case was reported to Chief of
Police John Secrist and he detailed
Officer Ira Cresap to make an investi-
cation. The little lads said they wanted
to hold up sombody, and had intended
to hold up an Italian, but when they
got close enough to do so, he looked so
cross and fierce that they were afraid to.
Then they saw young Cheney going
home, and they went after him.
Gerald Cheney is the son of A. E.
Cheney, painter; Wesley Young is
the son Of Thomas Young, grocery
man; and Bud Petrain is the son of
John Petrain, and nephew Of Judge
Chas. Petrain of Portland. The boys
were ordered to report to the police
station this morning at nine o'clock,
which they did.

SALOON MAN BRUTALLY FRANK
Washtucna Saloon Man Tells What His
Business Does FOR the Community

The following is taken from the back
of card issued by w. L. Mustard,
proprietor Of the Model saloon, Wash
tucna, this state:
Friends and neighbors: I am CRATE
full for past favors and having supplied
my store with fine line of choice
wine and liquors, allow me to inform
you that I shall continue to make
drunkards, paupers and beggas for the
sober, industrious, respectable mem
bers of the community to support. My
liquors will incite riot, robbery and
bloodshed.
They will diminish your comforts,
increase your expenses and shorten
life. I shall confidently recommend
them as sure to multiply fatal accidents
and incurable diseases.
They will deprive some of life, others
of reason, and all of peace. They will
make fathers fends, wives widows,
children orphans, and all poor. I will
train your sons in infdelity, dissipation,
ignorance, lewdness and every other
vice. l will thus accommodate the
public" 1t may be at the loss of my
never dying soul. But 1 have family
to support-the business pays and the
public encourages it.
I have paid my license and the traf-
ic is lawful, and if I don't sell it some
body else will I know the bible says,
Thou shalt not KILL" mo drunkard
shall enter the kingdom OF heaven"
and l do not not expect the drunkard
maker to fare any better, but
want an easy living, and l have re-
solved to gather the wages of in
iquity and fatten on the ruin of my
species.
Should you doubt my ability, l refer
you to the pawnshops, the poorhouse,
the police court, the hospital, the
penitentiary and the gallows, where
you will find some of my best custom
ers have gone. A sight of them will
convince you that I do what l say.

If the bill now being framed by
Judge A. w. Frater, of Seattle, becomes
a law, the eloping industry recently so
popular with young people who have
not attained legal age, will receive a
severe jolt. The striking section is
that which provides that two weeks
notice must be filed with the county
auditor by parents or guardians of ap-
plicants for marriage licenses, and that
these notices must be made of record
in the county in which the bride-elect
resides. Auditors failing to comply with
these provisions will be deemed guilty
Of misdemeanor and punished by fine.

A SHOCKING TRAGEDY
Lloyd Weaver Assaults Mrs. J. r. Conkling
and is Killed

The facts that led up to the shoot
ing last Friday night about 9 O'Clock
were fully brought out at the inquest
held by DR.. Saunders Monday after
noon.
Mrs. Conkling, who is the wife of a
railroad firemen who for the past six
weeks has been employed on the coast
line near Bellingham, testified that she
kept several roomers, among them
Lloyd Weaver, also a fireman. Mr..
Weaver had on several occasions, some
three or four weeks previous told Mrs.
Conkling that he loved her, which she
resented and told him to get a room
somewhere else. On Tuesday before
the shooting he again told her he
loved her and attempted to take hold
of her, she got away from him and
told him to leave the house. On Fri
day night last about 9 o'clock he came
to the house and finding no one else
there he made advances to her and
caught hold of her wrist. She got
away from him and ran into bed room
and picked up 38 caliber pistol off a
stand and told Weaver not to come
near her or she would shoot. He said
he had heard that before and dared
her to shoot, at the same time ad-
vancing toward her, when she fred
two shots. The first missed but the
second shot struck Weaver in the
head about two inches above the right
ear. He lived until about o'clock
but never regained consciousness.
Mrs, Conkling came here year ago
last October from the west side of the
mountains. Since coming here she
has always borne a good reputation.
Nothing has been said against her.
She is a young woman, about % years
old. Weaver has lived here over two
years, coming from Missouri origi-
nally, where he has sister and other
relatives. He was a sober industrious
young man, we'll liked by his fellow
workmen. He never had any trouble
with any one before. The body is in
charge of undertaken Hall of Wenat-
chez waiting instructions.
At the inquest, on Monday, the
jury composed of R. T. King, S. c.
Woldenberg, M. Rumohr, A. G. Nc
Coy, w. c. Wilcox and J. D. Wheeler
rendered a verdict of justifable homi-
eide.
