WEDDING ANNIVERSARY.
Rev. an Mrs. Chas. McDermoth Are
Given a Pleasant Surprise.

A genuine and pleasant surprise
was perpetrated on the Rev. and Mrs.
Chas. McDermoth on Thursday even
ing, by their children. assited by a
number of old time friends of Ho-
quiam and this city, it being the
thirty-fifth anniversary of their we'd
ding. Chaperoned by Mrs. A. D.
Wood, they. spent the afternoon up
the country in an tuto. Sidney Full
Ter, the chefauer, was in the secret,
and what between broken bridges
and breaks to the machine, did not
return until O'Clock, when instead
of driving to they parsonage, they
were takento the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. r. c. Sargent on Broadway.
Here they found a company of old
friends and the family waiting din
ner, and to say that they were sur
prised only puts it mildly.
After dinner came the wedding
ceremony, performed by Rev. F. F..
Green, of the Episcopal church, which
was original and clever. Mr.. o. M.
Kellogg of Hoquiam, played the we'd
ding march, Mr.. and Mrs. A. D..
Wood acted as bridesmaid and best
man. c. II. Alburty was ring bearer
and Miss Emily Hart was flower girl.

happily in keeping with the occasion,

ordered that some of the mills will
shut down and remain closed inde-
finitely, while others will attempt to
run with non-union men. A meet
ing of all the shingle manufacture
ers of the county will be held at
Elma tomorrow afternoon, at which
time the entire matter will be gone
over in detail. 1t is possible that this
meeting will result in a general close
down of the mills whether the strike
is ordered or not. While some of
the manufacturers assert that an
effort will be made to get the mo-
tion adopted at the meeting declaring
for an open shop, these radicals
among the manufacturers declare
that the matter should be fought out
to the bitter end and are in favor
of going to the limit.

on earth Mr.. Johnston came to be
held captive in the Becker store, Of
ticer Jensen hurried to the scene,
and found the prisoner sure enough.
Afte rseveral ineffectual attempts
to open the doors, the officer sug-
gested to the prisoner that he un-
fasten the top and bottom bolts of
the large double doors, and this solv-
ed the problem. The spring of the
doors was sufficient to open the lock,
and Mr.. Johnston once more breath
ed the air of freedom.
The awkward circumstance came
about-as they usually do-in a very
simple manner. Mr.. Johnston was
coming down town, on a bicycle on
his way to Junction City, and wanted
to communicate with his stable on a
matter of business. The Becker store
doors stood open, and with the fa-
miliarity customary among business
men in Aberdeen, he did not hesitate
to enter to use the telephone. He
saw man working under an auto
mobile, and took it for granted that
the place was open. Imagine his sur
prise when he got through with the
phone to find the man gone and the
place locked up.
Realizing the absurdity of his pO-
sition, Mr.. Johnston sought every OBJ
servable means to make a getaway
but, this store has been favored by
burglars on several occasions, and he
found the exits fully protected, and
there was nothing left to do but
again use the telephone and call for
police aid.

FEE FOR MARRIAGE
LICENSES STILL $500

OLYMPIA, Sept. Although the
Legislature tried to cut down the
marriage license fee from SO to 50 at
the special session, Attorney Genral
Bell holds that SO is still the legal
rate. He holds that in addition to
the 50 charged by the auditor for the
license that an additional dollar must
be charged for the registering of the
certificate by the county clerk under
the fee bill. He rules that the latter
provision is not replaced by the new
act. The old marriage law provid-
ed that 81 of the SO should be paid
to the clerk, but that qualifying
phrase was dropped out of new law,
so Bell holds that SO is the legal rate
The opinion was written for Prose-
cutting Attorney R. M. Strudevant of
Columbia county.
In an opinion given to r. E..
Morris, prosecuting attorney Of San
Juan county, Attorney General Bell
holds that when the levy is made for
the horticultural inspectors eXpen-
ses during the current year, each
of the counties are to make the levy
according to the money spent in eacn
county. If one-fourth of the work
is done in one of the four counties
of a district. or if there are seven
counties in the district, the coun-
ty in which one-fourth of the work
is done should raise one-fourth of
the money needed to carry on the
work. He states that the matter
OF being fair and distributing the
cost equitably rests with the inspec-
tor himself.

A PROBABLE STRIKE.
Shingle Weavers and Mill Men Can
not See Things Alike-May
Cause Strike.

Committees representing the Grays
Harbor shingle manufacturers and
the Grays Harbor shingle weavers'
union met Saturday night at the
Washington Hotel in this city in
conference over the demand of the
weavers for an increase of 21a cents
a thousand in wages. At the close
of the meeting the committee from
the weavers was informed that the
manufacturers would not grant the
increase under any consideration. In
substantiation of their position the
manufacturers cited recent decline
OF 10 cents in the market quotations
on all grades of shingles and de-
clared that they were in no position
to grant an increase. 1t is stated that
there are a considerable number OF
weavers who will are not in favor of
strike and it is an open secret that
the radicals may have considerable
difficulty in forcing a walkout. So
far as the manufacturers are con-
cerned they declare that there is no
concerted attempt to force on open
shop and say that if strike is

JOHNSTON IN THE TOLLS.
The Well Known Transfer Man
Makes Prisoner of Himself
While Using Telephone.

Once in a while the police office
meets with an amusing circumstance
although the usual routine is only
too serious. One OF those times oc-
Cured yesterday morning, when the
telephone rang and was answered by
Officer Jensen. The call came from
the store of f. j. Becker at G and
Wishkah streets, and the party on
the line said he was a prisoner, al
though not in jail.
The prisoner was S. w. Johnston,
the well known transfer man, who
told the officer to come to his rescue
as soon as possible. Wondering how
