AFTER the adjournment of the late
special session of the Legislature, a
local politician observed that he
didn't propose to follow the fads of
Bryan or Tom Watson, for he would
rather hunt with the hounds than to
be hunted with the hares. The
hounds may become too nume-
rous after awhile or the hares
may learn to combine and reverse
the game; or peradventure the can
ines may find the spoils too diminu-
tive to 60 around, and then there
will be trouble in the camp.

TIE Attorney General of Washing
ton has ruled that steam railway and
electric lines in crossing streets in
municipalities of the third and fourth
classes in this State must first obtain
the permission of the Railway Com
mission in the same manner as in
crossing county roads; that such per-
mission is unnecessary in cities of the
first class having the authority to
frame their own charters. This rul-
lug may prove two edge sword re-
speeding some of the cities and town
in this State. Whether it will
prove a protection to the citizens and
property owners therein, remains to
be seen from futher Developments.
At any rate the railroad and electric
companies ought to be satisfied, as
well as the citizens in those munich
palities whose governing bodies are
incompetent and on the graft.

The Tent Gospel Meetings.

y citizen Of Olympia, somewhat Of
a religious turn of mind. concluded
he would attend at least one OF the
tent meetings held at the corner Of
Fourth and t,astsidc streets. He
found the tent comfortably well
flied The audience for the most
part WAS composed Of women and
girls, some grayhaired and gray
WHISPERED men were Sprinkled among
tAa listeners: Young children and
babies were numerous The music
and singing were attractive features
Of these meetings: the hymns were
somewhat of the old order. but when

fcrNUr. Regarding the preacher, the
STANDARD will allow the visitor to
express himself in lis own language:
" | found the preacher to be a man
Of slender frame. evidently an Irish
man by nativity, who claimed no
man had the right to promulgate the
gospel unless he had been called by
the Saviour, by which fact the individ-
ual might become aware of by being
willing to so forth without money
and without price. according to the
examples furnished by Christ him
self, His Apostles and Disciples.
They didn want dirty money; they
wanted the children of men to listen
to the teachings of the Lord, which
applies in our day the same as it did
nineteen hundred years ago. Men
who preached the gospel should be
willing to forsake father, mother
and family, to follow Christ, which
caused a smile to pass over the faces
of a few of the elderly men sitting
near the listener. The preacher said
he had been frequently misrepre-
sentcd and misundersto TODD. even in
this burg, by persons who can't I'M
derstand how religious services can
be held without paying the preacher
or taking up collections. but nobody
ever heard of Jesus and His Apostles

MUST SPRAY TO CHECK POTATO-
BEETLE.-Nez Perez prairie, in Idaho,
is the only known district west of
the Rocky mountains which is atflict-
ed with the Colorado beetle, or po-
tato bug. 1t has been rapidly ex-
tending, and unless immediate steps
are taken for killing the larva, the
district will be indefinitely extended
next year. Prof. Aldrich of the Uni
versity of Idaho, advocates the use
of spray. The bugs now on the
vines will lay eggs which will soon
hatch. The young slugs will 60 into
the ground and hibernate in the win
ter, and when Spring comes they
will take wing and fly to new dis
tricts, where they will establish colo
MES. BY spraying now, the bugs
which cause the extension of the in
tested district will be killed and the
plague will be lcssened next year.

PRIZE-WINNER BESIEGED BY WO-
MEN.-lt is said that the drawer OF
choice No l in the Spokane Indian
reservation drawing is receiving let
tiers from all over the country propos-
ing marriage. His name is Newton
and he is "a years of age, and is en-
ploycd in the L. S. assay Office, at
Helena. He is just in the prime of
life; not too young and not too old,
and probably meets the remainder of
the adage-not too hot, not too cold;
which facts being known to and ap-
preciated by the fair applicants,
makes him with his land acquisition
truly a first prize in the matrimonial
line. He received five letters in one
day from Chicago, and two the same
day from New York. Not a few
have sent him their photographs and
so far as appearances so, some of
them look like veritable prizes them
selves. Newton has ignored all Of
fers of marriage, and will remain
single for a time. at least.

RELIEF FOR SUFFERERS
Congress Appropriates a Large

Washington, Jan. 1. - President
Roosevelt, in message to congress,
asked for a direct appropriation of
100000 for the relief of the stricken
people in the earthquake zone of It.

ever contributed by the American peo-
pie for succor of sufferers in other
lands, is to supplement the dispatch
of the supply ships Celtic from New
York and the Culgoa from Port Said
for Messina with their big cargoes of
.necessaries, originally intended for
the American fleet diverted to the i'm
mediate use of the Italian victims. It
also supplements the presidents prof
fer of the services of the entire Amer
loan fleet of sixteen battleships, whose
use, in whole or in part, hinged only
on the acceptance or declination of
the Italian government. The message
was brief and both houses immedi-
ately enacted into law the recommen-
dations made.

1wo-thirds Of Her Population Of
10000 Dead and the City
a Complete Ruin.

Messina, Jan. 4.-There is reason
to believe that the devastation by
earthquake OF Calabria and Sicily is
DOT yet at an end. Further heavy
ehocEs have been predicted for Jan. Z
and Jan. 5, when the relative position
Of the sun and moon will prod ice the
greatest strain on the crust of the
eartt.. Several minor shocks were ex-
perienced Saturday and many totter-
ing walls were thrown down, but it
is not known that any persons were
killed. The new quakes are starting
the fires afresh and the people are in
q condition bordering on panic.
Messina is to be evacuated entirely
as soon as possible. The disposition
Of the dead is one of the greatest
problems confronting the authorities.
Two days spent amid the ruins Of
Messina and Reggie bring convincing
evidence that the horror Of the situa-
ton in the Straits of Messina has in
no sense been exaggerated.
Messina and Reggie have ceased to
exist. In the ruins of the former city
two-thirds of the Inhabitants lie bur-
led, while at Reggie eue-half the peo-
pie lost their lives. Messina counted
100000 aid Reggie $4,000 souls.
Sickening stenches arise from the
countless decomposing bodies and the
air for many miles out to sea is pol
luted. Vultures are congregating to
prey upon the dead.
The radius of ruin and death ex-
tends back with decreasing intensity
for forty miles on the mainland and
tor thirty miles in Sicily.
The work of rescuing and transport
Ing wounded and homeless survivors
is attended with the greatest confu-
sion.

Plans for Rebuilding Messina and
Reggie Discussed, =

Rome, Jan. 6.-Plans for the re.
building of Reggie and Messina al.
ready are being discussed in detail,
but especially with regard to the lat
ter place, which is the second city of
Sicily. It is estimated that about
$15,0v0,0oO will suffice to rebuild Mes
sina for $4,000 inhabitants, making it
q commercial and maritime center. It
will take about $8,000,000 to rebuild
Reggie for $4,000 people. In any event
many years must elapse before the
thoroughly terrorized populations can
be induced to return to live in the
stricken territory.
sina Professionally to Milazzo, a small
town near the ruins of Messina on the
north coast of the island.
It has been decided to reconvene
the Italian parliament on Friday or
Saturday of this week to consider
remedies and measures to cope with
the existing situation in Calabria and
Eastern Sicily. Three members of
the chamber of deputies persisted in
the earthquake. A bill will be pre-
scented setting forth that all people
who were in the stricken cities and
towns who have not been found at the
expiration of three months shall be
considered dead.
The pope visited the wounded in the
Vatican hospital, accompanied by DR..
Giuseppe Petacci, his private physi-
clan, and heard the doctors opinion
on each case.

MANY TAKEN FROM RUINS
Fifteen Thousand Rescued Alive at
Messina.


Rome, Jan. 4.-Parliament will be
convOked Jan. II. The minister of
war says that the forts around Mes
sina, which contain tons of powder
and millions of cartridges, have not
been injured. He also says that while
he was at Messina at least $4,000 per-
sons were taken from the ruins, in
lured and uninjured, of which number
1000 were saved by the Russians and
1000 by the English sailors.
The Italian navy has sent 900 tons
Of provisions to the affected district.
All the treasure found has been placed
aboard the warships. One pocketbook
was picked up containing $4,000 and
much clothing has been found at Mes
sina and elsewhere with bank notes
sewed in it. Advices from Messina
say that twenty looters were shot
there. That city will be evacuated.
Six thousand persons already have
left there and 5000 more will leave at
once.

MANY BURIALS At MESSINA
Fourteen Thousand Victims OF Disas-

Fourteen Thousand Victims Of Disas-
ter Inferred.
Messina, Jan. 6.-Earth shocks are
, continuing here, although they are
,, diminishing in intensity. At night,
. especially, are they frequently felt.
The fires in the city also are being
gradually extinguished.
The Official figures compiled thus
far show that $4,000 bodies have been
buried in four cemeteries, that 5000
refugees have left the city and that
5000 persons still remain here.
Instead of excavating in an en-
deavor to find the bodies buried be-
meath the ruins It has been proposed
, that every house in which It is be-
lieved persons are buried shall be
covered with Quicklime.
The official figures place the wound
cd at Reggie at loon and the refu.
gees at 1000. The number Of dead In
the ruins is not known.
Reggie has been practically evacu
ated except for the troops and the ma,
rines from two British warships. The
Bay OF Reggie still is strewn with
broken boats and other debris.
Numerous persons still living are
being taken from beneath the ruins.
while the voices of others can be dis
ttnctly heard appealing for aid. Within
q few days the rescue work at Reg
gio will have ceased Then the totter-
Ing buildings will be razed and the
bodies that have not been buried will
be burned.

Rome, Jan. 6.-Dispatches received
from Messina and Reggie indicate
that although the situation is in some
respects better fresh complications
have arisen. Typhoid fever has
broken out at Messina. The lack Of
pure water and the increasing pollu-

fear an epidemic. The medical adj

government authorities are consider

has almost ceased because there is no
expectation of finding any one alive.

the workers from outside.

the dead. The American embassy
and Americans who have gone to the
scene either as volunteers in relief
work or as correspondents have not
found any further Americans among

And wMI Never Forget the ExperAen

The coffee drinker who has suffered and then been completely relieved by changing from coffee to Postum knows something valuable.
 He or she has no doubt about it. A California lady says:
 T learned the truth about coffee in a peculiar way. My husband. who has for years been of a very bilious tenn perament, decided to leave off coffee and give Postum a trial and as l did not want the trouble of making two beverages for meals, I concluded to try Postum. too. and the results have been that while my husband has been great ly benefited, I have myself received even greater beneht.
 "When l began to drink Postum was thin in flesh and very nervous. Now I actually weigh 1s pounds more than I did at that time, and I am stronger physilally and in my nerves. while husband is free from all his ails.
 We have learned our little lesson about coffee and we know something about Postum, too. for we have used Postum now steadily for the last three years and we shall always continue to d. so.
 we have no more use for cotree-- the drug drink. We prefer Postum and health"
