DIG UP ABOUT $40
Final Account and Petition
in Case of Estate of
Letitia McKibben.

With deficit Of $12 to make up be-
tween them, the six heirs to the estate

wondering when and where they come
in on the general distribution, for out
of the original property amounting to
$626.64 formerly deposited in one of
the local banks after deducting legiti-
mate expenses, it is found that instead
Of anything coming i'm money is going
out.

discharge of M. F. Kincaid, admins
traitor of the estate was filed n the
superior court this afternoon, stating
that the entire property had been spent

attorneys fees aggregating $40, the to-
tai expenditure was $63S.50, leaving
but little for the rightful heirs to
squabble over.

With Her Mother, Succeeds
In Eluding Curious
Crowds at Depot.
STEPS OFF TRAIN
ACROSS THE RIVER
While Helen Waits at thf
Hotel, Reporters Scour
City in Search.

PORTLAND, March 26.-It was a
Nle Oregon express when it rolled into
the depot and it was not until the last
passenger left thst the curious ones
gave up hope that the mother and
daughter might delay their departure
from the car to avoid the crowd. 1t
was known that the couple were on
the train at Oregon City, about IL miles
from this city.
They alighted when the train. made
the usual brief stop just east of the
river. The Emerys went 10 the Sargent
ho:el, and sat in the lobby for few
minu es awaiting the taxicab they or
dered. In the meantime, newspaper re-
porters anXiously secured the city for
them.
1t is reported that Gunjiro Aoki, the
dishwasher, whom the girl is bent on
marrying. has preceded the mother
and daughter north. The couple rode
about the city in a taxicab, which left
them at the Union depot, where it is
supposed they boarded the $50 o'clock
rain for Tacoma.
Aoki is expec ted to arrive in Ia
coma by steamer today or tomorrow
He disappeared i'll San Francisco We'd
nesday and his whereabouts were un-
known until Tacoma Japanese stated
today that he is coming here to meet
Miss Emery.
The train bearing the girl and hel
mother will arrive here at 2:40 this
afternoon. Although opposition to the
marriage is general all over the city
the officials say they must issue the
license if it is asked for. The law does
not prevent INTERNAL riage of races.

rer which was based ON the grounds
that the complaint did not charge the
defendant with any offense punishable
under the laws of the state of Wash
ington.
Attorney Oscar Cain, who appeared
for the city, in arguing the demurrer
raised the point that the state law
which applied only to cities not Of the
first class, divided Offenders into three
classes, the first being health officers,
who might be removed from office by
I the state board of health for violation
Of the statutes. The second clause
provided for a fine of from $40 to 5000
to be imposed upon members Of health
boards who violated the laws, and the
final provision is to the effect that any
person violating the health laws shall
be punished by a fine of from $25 to
500.
AS the defendant came under the first
provision, it was argued that the court
had no jurisdiction, but that the PEN
atty could only be meted out by the
state board of health.

three witnesses testifying to the fact
that they had reported cases of con-

that ne had not received any reports
from DR.. Fales and had never been CO.

betterment of the public health.

EDDIE SEVER
TO PLAY HERE
FAMOUS SOUThPAW PITCHER OF
EASTERN FAME HAS ARRIVED
FOR PRACTICE.
Aberdeen Is Out for the Pennant This
Year and Has Begun With
TwirIer Getting.

Aberdeen is out for the pennant!
Tha. was the principal top:c of discus
sion last evening within the local base
ball circle. There can be no longer
doubt about the strenuous efforts OF
the men behind the team that repre-
sents the champion sawdust city in the
state to recover the honor snatched
from them last season by the Vancou-
yer aggregation. Quietly but with per
sistence the southwestern Washington
city has been gathering in star play
ers until the lineup commences to
make the other teams sit up and take
notice.
A short time ago the report was
given out from Aberdeen that Eddie
Sieyer, the famous pitcher of the De-
'troit champions in 1907, had been Sc
cured from Indianapolis and would
soon come west to join the team. This
report was discounted later by the ap-
pearance in the st. Louis Sporting
News of story to the effect that Slew
er would not be with indianapolis, but
that when the season opened he would
be found with the Montreal CLUB. TnlS
report complicated matters and it was
not until last evening that all doupts
in the matter were settled.
Sewer has arrived in the city and is
working out every day at the college.
He is a left-hander, about Il years
old. and when he is going right there
are very few pitchers in the coun-
try who have anything on him. He is
a native of Nebraska, and played nrst
professional engagement with the Lon.
don club in 1899, in the international
league. In 1900 Siever was signed py
Detroit, then a member of the western
league. He pitched there four years.

ROUGH AND

Fordney and Byrd Come
Near Mixing Over Dis
cussion of Tariff.
BYRD SHEDS COAT
AND STARTS THINGS
Members of the House Take
a Hand and the Fight
Is Stopped.

WASHINGTON, March ga rough
and tumble fight was narrowly averted
on the floor Of the house this afternoon
when Fordney Of Michigan and Byrd
of Mississippi, clashed over the dis
cussiOn of the proposed changes In
the lumber tariff, as it related to the
existence of the lumber trust. In max
ing a speech, Fordney was irritated
by questions about the lumber trust
and declared he would answer no more
Byrd who is an Indian, declared the
mill owned by Fordney in Mississippi
is part of the trust.
! You don't know a darned thing
about it," shouted Fordney.
Byrd took off his coat as he ran to-
ward Fordney bent on fierce struggle
when members blocked the way. Ford
ney apologized and Byrd returned to
his seat
Prior to this Byrd paced the open
space on the floor with clinched fist
shaking his head and apparently de-
termined to have the matter out.
Fordney said if he had bee ndiscour-
teous he wished to withdraw his re-
marks and explained there was great
prOvOcation. Byrd denied he said the
, F'ordney mill was a member of the
trust. Fordney then resumed his
speech.
WASHIGTON, March 26.-Represen-
tative F'ordney of Michigan, in discuss
ing the tariff bill in the house today

wages which cause prosperity.

Mrs. J. T.. Boyd of this CITY

Mrs. J. l.. Boyd of this city, received
among other Christmas presents this
year one which she prizes very highly
and which is quite curiosity as we'll
as an artistic piece of work. 1t is a
sofa pillow sent her by her sister, Mrs.
J. W. Simmons, of Martinsville, Va, on
the face of which is embroidered in silk
Confederate flag and it is something
which many of our readers have never
seen. The ground of the flag is red silk,
across which appear the two crossed
blue bars, with thirteen white stars in
the bars. Down in Virginia nearly fifty
years ago it was a very popular flag,
but now in old Virginia as we'll as in
every state and territory in the United
States there is but one flag, that being
the stars and stripes. Mrs. Boyd has
kindly allowed the pillow to be placed
on exhibition at The Reporter office
where it can be seen by any who are in
terested.

Quality versus Quantity.

If there is anywhere that quality
counts it's in Oysters.
That is why the wise housekeeper in
sists on having "sealshipt" Oysters.
The price sounds higher, but the cost
actually is lower; because you get solid
meats-no water. "Sealshipt" Oysters
are carefully packed in steel containers
with ice around the containers, but not in
contact with the oysters. This method
makes truly astonishing difference in
the flavor and appearance "Sealshipt"
Oysters are as firm as when they came
out of the sea, lasts like half-shell
oysters just opened.
You eat "Sealshipt' with indescriba-
BILE relish because you know they are
wholesome, fresh and healthful.
Look for the Pure White Porcelain
Case bearing the Blue "Sealshipt"
Trade Mark--it is your protection and
guaranty. You will find them at our
stores. We always have "Sealshipt''-
wonld not have any other kind.

Henry Miller's Associate Players will

Henry Miller's Associate Players will
present Charles Ram Kennedy's famous
play "The Servant in the House" in
Des Moines at Fosters Opera House for
five nights engagement, beginning
Tuesday evening, January 10Th, with
matinees on Wednesday and Saturday.
This is the play which created such q
remarkable sensation in New York City
last spring and summer and which play
ed to capacity for ten weeks at Powers
Theatre in Chicago at the beginning Of
the present season. 1t has been hailed
by the leading critics of the country
as the most remarkable play produced
within the memory of the present gen
Grafton. The Chicago News calls it
"the most beautiful play of all ages;
the Chicago Tribune says it is "a work
of art that is true enough and simple
enough to touch the heart of the world"
The Chicago Record Herald says: "It
is work for the world to see and
ponder upon" The lofty character of
this comedy-drama, in which the central
figure is recognized as reincarnation
of the Christ, necessitates for its proper
Interpretation practically an all-star
company. For this reason the play will
not be entrusted to road companies, but
is being presented in only centrally
located cities by Mr.. Miller's Associate
Players. The extended engagement in
Des Moines is arranged specially for
the accommodation Of theatre-goers in
nearby cities. The management Of
Fosters Opera Housein Des Moines is
giving special attention to mail orders,
which will be. filed in the order Of their
recipt, when accompanied by remittance.
The prices range from so cents to $3.50.
