FAHEY SENT
TO ASYLUM
3a00Oe0 OVER PATENT LOSS
Tieton Worker Who Attempted Sui
eide Adjudged Insane Morose
Over Life Troubles.

Joe ]. Fahey, a Tieton worker, who
attempted to commit suicide last
Monday at Naches City by cutting his
throat with a dull knife, was ad-
judged insane on Monday afternoon,
and the order for his commitment to
Medical Lake was signed by Judge L.
b. Preble. Drs. Cameron and Con-
nell conducted the investigation into
the mental condition of the man, who
has been confined in the county Jail
for the past week in the hope that his
condition would improve sufficiently
to warrant his release. The authori-
ties at Medical Lake have been noti-
fed of the finding of the commission
and Fahey will be taken to the asylum
on Tuesday afternoon.
Worried Over Patent.
The undermining of Fahey's mind
was caused by worry over his failure
to secure a patent for track laying
device. The model and plans for
Fahey's device were destroyed in the
fire that Quilted the Patent Office at
Washington, D. c., over a year ago.
Brooding over the temporary loss of
his patent and the suicide of a few
months ago caused Fahey to attempt
to take his own life. Fahey was a
heavy drinker. He was an expert
structural worker, and eleven years
ago fell from a skyscraper in Mobile,
Ala, sustaining wounds on his head
which were believed by the examin-
ing physicians to be accountable for
his present condition. Fahey, during
his Incarceration in the county Jail
has eaten but little of the food Of
fered him by the county officers.

IRRIGATION CHAIRMAN
PLEASED WITH YAKIMA
r. Insinger Says That Whole Valley
Is Showing Right Spirit and Enthu-
siasm for Irrigation Congress

SPOKANE, WASH, April 16.-
North Yakima, and in fact, the entire
Yakima Valley, has shown a fine spirit
in it's enthusiastic cooperation with
the people of Spokane, and we expect
at least 1000 representatives from the
district at the seventeenth sessions of
the National Irrigation congress in
Spokane, August 9th to 14th."
R. Insinger, chairman of the local
board of control said this on his re-
turn from North Yakima, where he
had a conference with II. p. James,
secretary, and other officers of the
Commercial club, on matters pertain
ing to the irrigation congress.
North Yakima is thoroughly alive
to the Importance of the sessions of
in Spokane next August" Mr.. Insinger
added, land the people there have
raised fund of $4,000 for publicity
work during the coming year.
'"They realize that the gathering of
irrigationists and others interested in
problems of forestry, drainage, deep
waterways, good roads and home
building and the thousands of visitors
from all parts of America will afford
them the best opportunity yet pres
ented to make bid for desirable pop
ulation and capital in the valley. That
is where every community in the In
land Empire can benefit itself.
There was a time when the people
of North Yakima and other towns and
communities in the Spokane country
were of the belief that Spokane was
selfish in its work of exploitation, but
this has been dispelled largely through
the visits to the rooms of the Spokane
chamber of commerce by representa-

SULTAN MAY
ADVOCATE
QUIET RtIGNS IN BALKANS
Rumors Rife in ConstantinOple That
Ruler Has Taken Flight on Was
ship, and AbdicatiOn Is Near.

CONSTANTINOPLE, April 10
The most important feature of the
situation in the Turkish capital today
was the report that Sultan Abdul
Hamid had abdicated. This caused
great excitement in the Hobbies of
parliament A rumor of the fight of
the sultan on warship followed
closely on that of his abdication, but
neither could be confirmed.
Large crowds gathered around the
British Embassy where other reports
had it that the sultan had taken re-
fuge, there were scores of inquiries at
the Russian embassy concerning the
rumor that the sultan was under the
protection of Russia. At both en-
bassies, all knowledge of the sultan's
movements We're denied. The abdica-
ton of the sultan however appears
not to be improbable and it appears
that within day or two the con-
stitutionalists may accept as his sue
cessor, Prince Yuisof Izzedin the eld-
est son of the late sultan, who is
second in line. The palace today was
under a strong guard.
The headquarters of the constitu-
tionalists army is at Dedeagatich and
General Husni Pashas forces, which
now number between 10000 and 30
900 occupy a range of hills about
tweny miles from the capital. Every
hour reinforcements are added to their
numbers. 1t is not likely that the en-
two Oh, l4 e.
some little time, as Husni Pash and
his military associates deem it advis-
able to Withhold their advance until
they are strong enough to win sue
cess by overwhelming numbers They
hope that the so called opposition will
yield without fighting.
The city appears very quiet and
European and American women are
driving about the streets as usual. 1t
is announced officially that the deaths
at Adna during the rioting numbered
400, among the killed being many
Turks.
Izzet Pasha and other government
delegates who were sent to confer
with the Salonikans, returned today.
All that is known of the result of the
negotiations is that the Salonokans
reiterated their demands and threat
ened to send five battalions into the
city. Business of all kinds is virtu-
ally suspended and civil and military
officials appear paralyzed while wait
ing the outcome of events.
The consensus of opinion is that if
the abdication of the sultan is brought
about, his overthrow and the procla-
nation of his successor will be accom-
plished peacefully.
BERLIN, April ia rumor eman-
ating from Vienna says the sultan has
expressed a willingness to abdicate in
favor of Mohammed Rachad Effendi
heir apparent to the throne. The dis
patch from Constantinople says it is
rumored Effendi has been acclaim ed
sultan at Salonaki and that it is in
tended to establish provisional gov
eminent at that place.
Dispatches received in Young
Turks circles in Berlin state the troops
will enter Constantinople Tuesday.

day. Instead the formal action of de-
termining those officials was postpon-
ed until Saturday next when the mem
bers will again be in session. 1t has
been about determined who the prin-
cipal officers of the county will be but
the final action has been deferred for
various reasons. The men chosen,
when finally agreed upon, will be put
to work at once.

No moving pictures will be procured
as was planned, to show the activit-
les and industries of this county to
the visitors at the fair. 1t was found
that the expense would be out of all
proportion to the probable good. The
moving picture scheme is protected by
patents a royalty must be paid the
patentees. In other words such pic
lures would cost the county $50 a foot
and 1915 for the machine. This it was
considered was an extravaganza.

With The Auditor.

On next Monday we start out with
County Auditor Dent. The filstpoint
will be Ir1no, in the afternoon. We
want to impress upon all taxpayers
the Importance Of having their prop
erty already listed, so that there will
be nothing left for the Auditor to do
but to take them down. Sit down
before leaving home and think over
your taxable property, and make a
list of the same in your note book or
on slip of paper. If you will do this
you will be surprised at the conven-
ience it will be to the Auditor.
Another matter in which we would
like to call attention to: Be ready
with your dues to the editor. We
have no desire to be unreasonable but
there is quite numbesof subscribers
who have not paid for their paper,
and it is absolutely necessary that
they pay up to keep their paper COM
ing. Meet us promptly and you'll
feel better, the editor will feel better,
and we'll all feel better.

Prohibition and Atlanta.

There has been a great deal of talk
about prohibition being farce in the
city of Atlanta ever since the prohl-
bition law went into effect in Georgia.
All this talk is absolutely without
foundation, if we are to judge from
the police records in that city for the
year'1907 and 1908, and we believe
that this is considered the very best
evidence in cases of this kind. The
Atlanta Journal, which was opposed
to prohibition and fought it to the
last ditch, prints an interesting news
story re garding the conditions in At
lanta at the present time and before
the prohibition law went into effect.
The police records have been Re viewed
and compared and, according to The
Journal, there were just s,1aa cases
less during the arst twelve months OF
prohibition, as compared with the
same period in 1907 before prohibi-
tion went into effect. The cases for
drunkenness alone fell off 1908. The
Journal makes the alarming state
ment that there we're three times as
many DRINKS during 1907 in Atlanta
as there were during 1908. Is prohi'
bition a farce in Atlanta? An honest
public can answer.

After Christmas Shopping 1T
Iimnaugh's.

It is indeed a pleasure to visit the
store Of j. L. Mirnaugh 6 Co., in
Columbia. Especially is this the case
now. The store is crowded with after
Christmas shoppers. They go to this
great store because they know that It
is needless to 60 elsewhere. The prices
at Mimnaugh's have been reduced to
astonishingly low prices-almost to
nothing. The sales force has been in
structed to sell, and they are going to
carry out their orders.
At Mimnaugh's you will find every
thing in dry goods, notions, shoes,
ladies' suits and jackets, mems iurn-
ishings, and every conceivable kind Of
merchandise. The stocks are grand---
they are always grand at Mimnaugh's
because he keeps new goods contln-
uously coming in, in order to satisfy
the wants of every customer. The
past wear has been a record breaker
at Mimnaugh's-more goods having
been sold than ever before, and there
is no sign or semblance of a panic.
The store, as we have already stated
in these. columns, has been enlarged
and remodeled in order to meet the
daily demands of a growing business.
Now is the time to get bargains-you
see an account of bargain sales every
day-but unless you have seen the
bargains now being offered at this
popular store, you are not in position
to Judge of their true worth. Go to
Mimnaugh's and 60 right now.

to the large display ad. in this issue.
There is no place in the city where
YOU can buy goods to greater advan-
tage and now that the the big Sale is
on, you can secure still greater bar
gains.
Lexington people who know Mr..
Fitzmaurice-and nearly everybody
knows him-will grasp this golden op-
portunity to secure goods for less
money than ever before. Read the
irresistible prices, the matchless val
ues, and go to Fitzmaurice's Three
Arch Store while the Slaughter Sale
is in full sway.

The work on the new steel bridge
over the Saluda river is being pushed
ahead. The chaingang is placing rock

making ready for the main work,
which will begin in few days. The
people are anxiously awaiting the
time when they can cross this bridge
free of cost and at all times and sea-
sons of the year. When the work is
completed there will no longer be an
excuse about not being able to get
across the river at high water periods,
for this bridge will Withstand any

1909.

With this issue of The Dispatch we
enter upon our duties for the year
1909 with greater determination to
make this paper the best ever. The
year just closed has been one Of maay
trials to US; we have had our share OF
the troubles which always come sooner
or later to every one: the hand OF
death-that mighty reaper-has re-
moved from US beloved son, break
ing our family circle and at the same
time crippling our force. But we
have met these troubles with heart
brave, realizing that all things work
together for good to those who love
the lord and who try to follow in His
footsteps.
But while we have had our troubles
and our sorrows, we have had our
jeysand our pleasures. We have had
our share Of the good things of life;
We have had our share of the prosper
ity which has come to all the people
Of Lexington county, and by honest
endeavor we have made The Dis
patch one of the best advertising me-
dinms in the State, and when we say
this we believe that every word will
be corroborated by those who have
used our columns. For the patronage
we have received, and for all kind
nesses shown, we feel deeply CRATE
full.
The people of Lexington county, as
awhole, have many things to be
thankful for: they have been blessed
with the blessings of a kind and gen
erous Providence; the fields have
broughtforth a bountiful> crop, despite
the very bad conditions which existed
for while last year, and the people
have fair supply of the necessaries
Of life, for all of which they should be
profoundly thankful.
Lexington county is a prosperous
county and erpeople are wise, pro-
gressiye and Godfearing. With such

he has filled without fear or favor and
