MEETING FOR MISSIONS
Activity of Mormons in Buying Land

Arouse the Women.

Arouse the Women.
The meeting of the Union Mission
airy Society of Mitchell, convened in
the NJ. E. church Tuesday and held
two very interesting sessions, after
noon and evening, though by some
misunderstanding the announcement
had not been fully made last Sunday,
hence the audiences were not as large
as they would otherwise have been.
However, those present felt we'll re-
paid for coming. The meeting began
a little before three O'Clock and after
devotional exercises conducted by
Mrs. Abbey, a few items of business
were considered.
The resignation of the president of
the society. Mrs. Bacon, "a regret
fully fecepted, and Mrs. a. B. Test
was Il aimously elected to fill the
vacanc.s.
The Mormon question came up for
a short but animated discu7 sion, it
being stated that some land adjacent
to Mitchell had already been purchas-
ed with a view of starting a colony.
A committee of one from the differ
.ent churches represented was ap-
pointed to confer with the W. C. T. U.
and plan for some active cooperative
work. 1t was also suggested that this
committee ask the city pastors to
preach a sermon on Mormonism,
showing the. extent and evil of its
doctrines and work.
A paper on Child Toilers" was
read by Miss Swartz, showing the
magnitude of the evils resulting from
child labor in the United States.
Then followed a very interesting
and instructive address by Miss Moy-
er of Honolulu, giving a very vivid
picture of life in Hawaii. She de-
scribed the missionary work done on
the plantations, cultivated largely by
the different Oriental people living
there; also spoke of their character
istics, and of the native Hawaiians.
and of the large numbers of children
of these nationalities, describing their
dress, home life, schools etc.
At the close of the address, Mrs.
Hoagland conducted a Round Table
on practical questions and methods
relating to local mission work, par
ticipated in by several ladies.
In the evening, after a brief devo-
tional service led by Rev. E. M. JEFF
fers, DIR. Regina Bigler gave a most
helpful and instructive address on
China and It's opportunities. She ex-
hibited quite a collection of curios
from the Celestial Kingdom, ex-
planning by them many customs, SUI
perstitions, etc. She showed the great
awakening that has come to China
along reform and educational lines.
the great desire for teachers with
moral character and the marvellous
opportunities before the Christian
church to provide these teachers from
mission schools and to bring Chris
tianity to this interesting nation.
The address was replete with in
struction and h%elpfulness. The meet
ing Of the members Of the different
churches, both afternoon and even
ing produced a most delightful fell
lowship and all pronounced the meet
ings a success. We are very grateful
to Miss Meyer and DR.. Bigler for
their unselfish assistance.
The meeting adjourned to meet in
the fall at the call Of the executive
committee.

A DANGEROUS GREEK.

George Gavas, alias George the
Greek. became Obstreperous on a
Cosmopols car Thursday night, chas-
ed the conductor out of the car and
threatened him with a murderous
looking knife. George and several
of the Greeks were smoking in the
car where they We're ladies, and up
on the conductor ordering the smok-
ing to cease, he was attacked by
George, who poses as sort of boss
Greek, and who has been in police
trouble here before. The conductor
was forced to seek safety on the
front platform, by wicked looking
knife that George drew on him. On
arriving in Aberdeen, George was
gathered in by Officer Kelley, and
taken to the city Jail. At his hear
ing Friday, continuance was grant
ed, until his attorney would return
from out of town. The police should
cure George of carrying that knife
before he hurts somebody-or gets
hurt himself-by pulling him about
once a week and searching him, If
the knife is found on him, he could
do time for carrying 1t.

The Railroad Franchise.

Four of the six members of the
city council who opposed the railroad
franchise have announced that they
would vote for its passage next We'd
nesday night-the other two are abb
sent from the city, or doubtless a
similar statement would be heard
from them-so that it's passage by a
unanimous vote is probable.
While this result is satisfactory tC
the community at large, there is
much to be said favorable to the at
titude of the so-called ''insurgents. y
That those gentlemen had the inter
ests of Aberdeen at heart is very
evident. They took an unpopular
stand for valuable concessions to the
city in return for favors granted the
railroad, and only, changed Their
votes in obedience to public senti-
ment, and public sentiment Is not
always right. However, in deferine
to that sentiment they have recog-
nized the fact that their duties are
purely representative, and If mis-
take be made in granting this fran
chise, that mistake is one made by
the peOple-nOt them.

Our Nominee.

In the nomination of Ernest Lis

from the second district, by the De-
mocratic party, they have an ideal
candidate and exceedingly favorable
conditions for his election. He is a
prominent contractor, used to the
has had enough to do in public life
to establish his right to a place as
a factor among the leaders of the
National Congress. His personal ap-
pearance is likewise in his favor, and
he looks and acts the perfect man.
He enters upon the present con-
test with a divided foe and an eX-
ceptionally weak candidate. Judge"
McCredie acknowledged this, in his
attempt at a speech in response to u
call of the convention when he was
nominated. He said that when he
came over to attend the legislature,
some years ago, he found he was bet
ter known among strangers he met
as a baseball enthusiast than by the
judicial office he held He heads the
list as a violator of law in both let
ter and spirit, from being the first
to ignore the provision requiring
gowns to be worn by judges while
on the bench, and, while holding the
office of judge, entering into-or al
lowing his friends to enter intO-an

Then again, the disruption of the
state forces and the dsguest in
spired by the Schiveley and Hamilton
episodes has caused a general eructa-
ton that will be in evidence on
election day. 1t is prevalent every
where. all over the district, and even
in the river counties his nomination
is too raw for ready CONSUMPTION.
Even 'McCredie's supporters admit
that at best he has only a fighting
chance, owing entirely to the pres
tige attained by his party in form

Bryan.

Mr.. Bryan's record as presiden-
tial candidate is unique. No Their
aspirant has been thrice defeated at
the polls and no other has accepted
defeat with such saving philosophy
and sweetness of temper. He faces
his countrymen today unembittered
and his life is even more CHEEKY than
it was in 1896.
It is good to have so wholesome
an example Of pluck and courage be-
fore the American people. 1t is con-
ceivable that conditions might arise
in this country that would call for
the leadership of such a courageous
and determined character as Mr.. Bry-
an. If foreign foes should assail us
and the country have to endure a
long stubborn war, with perhaps a
series OF defeats on the
field of battle, it will be well for the
nation if the White House then be
occupied by a president of Mr.. Bry-
ans patriotism, devotion to the peo-
ple's welfare and unfaltering hope
and courage in the face of seeming
disaster. - Spokane Spokesman-Re-

SHARPSHOOTERS COME HOME

urday evening from the rife range
at Orilla, where the militia of the
state competed for the Governor

contest, Co. d, of Seattle, taking
the trophy, with a score of 1856.
Co. G, took eighth place, with score
of 1909, and Co. f, Hoquiam, ninth
with 1880 points.
In the individual skirmish Lieut.
o. r. Austin of this city secured
tenth place out of 1876 entries, with

interests retarded the development OF
Grays Harbor, and absorbed almost all
the river and harbor appropriations
for the Northwest. and that river yet
calls for millions to open it up, and
hundreds of thousands annually to
keep the bar at its mouth navigable.
During the ten years of the late MI.

ha dts largest federal aid and de-
velopment, proving conclusively that

Congressional Election.

The almost total lack of interest
that is being manifested in the COM
ing election of a congressman from
the Second district. is attributable
to the nomination of THE Gentleman
From Oregon" by the Republican
convention On Grays Harbor one
scarcely hears the coming election
mentioned and reports from other
sections of the district indicate a
similar apathy.
The fact is undisputed, that the
nomination Of Judge McCredie is
most unsatisfactory to his own party,
so much so that despite the large re-
publican majority his election is in
grave doubt. On Grays Harbor, the
selection of congressman means the
man who will and can do most for
the required Improvement of the har-
Dor. This was evinced in the cordial
support given to Ed. c. Finch. That
support was for the good of the har-
Dor, more than the personality of Mr..
Finch, and the same sentiment will
lead the voters to decide between
Judge McCredie and Ernest Lister on
election day, along that line.
Partyism is we'll nigh eliminated
in this instance, as, in fact, it is
in congress itself, and there is little
doubt that GrayS HarbOr will decide
to vote for the candidate from whom
most can be expected in the way of
federal aid in the development of the
Dor.

fury, Portland and Columbia river

and broke large electric wires in its
flight, and fell at the feet of a negro
sweeping in the rear of a store.
The body struck head first, the en-
tire top portion being crushed into a
pulp Wood made no cutlery, the con-
tact with the first awning evidently
rendering him unconscious.
No movement was made by the body
after it struck the cement pavement
of the area way. Wood had evidently
been reclining in his office just before
the fatal fall, as two large sofa pollows
were piled on the floor against a
chair and his pipe was beside them.
1t is supposed he sat in the window
and the morning breeze caused him to-
doze, losing his balance and falling.
Wood was a very popular young man

was progressive and had built up one
of the largest insurance businesses in

five years ago from Danville, Ky,
with his brother and A. c. Johnson.

Birmingham Citizens Witness Novel
Exhibition of Woman Painting
Sim

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, July 31-A
novel exhibition took place on the ex.
terror of the J. Blach store building
this morning. 1t was the painting of
the Blach's Wind-Up Sale sign at the
third story on the Nineteenth street
side. Quite a crowd gathered and
watched what seemingly was woman
standing on the scaffolding, using a
paint brush with much force.
AS advertised, her made a prompt
appearance, and completed the paint
ing of large sign. Being nearly sim
ultaneous with the approach of Ruth
Grey, many people who watched the
sight were of the opinion that it was
the phychic wonder.
Whoever her was, the person
proved to be a good sign painter. The
secret of the name and gender rests
with c. Z. Daniel adverticing manager
of ]. Blach & Sons.
