autopsy held last night revealed
the fact that the man did not sus-

death was caused from infection
which set in soon after he re-

The principal witnesses this
afternoon were George Bolts, bar
tender of the Bohemian bar, who

OLYMPIA, Feb. 18.-George
U. Piper has won his fight in the
senate for woman suffrage. To-
day Senator Piper is assured OF
&c votes sure and has every rea-
son to expect he will win the other
two votes necessary.
"There is nothing wrong in the
to give the people of the state, the
male voters only, by the way, the
right to determine by their votes
at the next general election il the
constitution may be amended to
allow women to vote.
without such a bill the male
voters cannot say whether or not
they favor woman suffrage.
1.-TWO years ago and again last
November constitutional amend
ments were submitted Just be-
cause a few logging companies
wanted some special advantages.
Which the voters twice denied.
why is 1t not equally fair
whether one is for or against exl
tending the franchise to women
that the wishes of the people be
taken at a vote. i

TACOMA TO OUTSTRIP
OTHER SOUND CITIES
in GREAT EXCURSION

From a Tacoma viewpoint the
big Puget Sound excursion to Cal
ifornia, which starts Saturday for
a seven-day trip down the Paciflc
coast clear to Los Angeles, is a
big success.
Tacoma has more listed for the
trip than any other city. Some
of the best business men Of this
city will be in the party and, by
the time the excursion is con-
cluded, California and all the
thousands of visitors from the
East now wintering there will be
thoroughly awake to the fact that
Tacoma is on the map.
The fact that Tacoma has beat
en- other cities in the list of reser-
vations indicates the new spirit
of this city, which is expected
to put Tacoma on a new plane of
advancement in the next few
years.
The Tacoma section of the train
will be in the yards at the depot
here at 1880 Saturday morning,
so that those who are going can
go aboard and get breakfast.
The train will leave here at $3.50.

Knfxe.s Ouf Rr Lodge:

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. is.
Henry Cabot Lodge is soon to ap-

The Lodge senatorial contest
promises to be sensational. Ames
will not be the only rival candi-

And things verging on the scan

example, 1t is said that Lodge has
been more solicitous in serving
certain steamship interests of his
state than the people. An appro.

by him in one of the big supply

viding that election districts should con-

as to prevent filibustering and promote
the orderly transaction Of the business of
the senate. He repeats his denial Of
having aided his son to obtain place in

Are Snakes Stupid.

From the North American Review.
It is a matter of qualification. naturally.
that our snake was considered to be as
intelligent as his predecessors, but there
was really no need of exceptional acu-
men to enable him b play his part sue
cessfully II the devil took possession Of
his body in order to accomplish ne
farious purpose 1t was the devil. not the
snake, who framed the enticing argu-
ment for the unsuspecting Eve. If. again,
1t was Lilith who seized an opportunity
to advance the cause Of woman suffrage.
clearly twas her keen appreciation of
the power Of curiosity that led to the fall.
In either case the snake was a mere
dupe of one more cunning than himself
to further a project in which he had no
personal interest and whose method OF
accomplishment was foreign to his shy
inclinations. If he had been as crafty as
he has been reputed. can one suppose for
a moment that he would have assumed a
role which was certain to win the ever
lasting, hatred of mankind? No; there
have been and are good snakes and bad
snakes. just as there have been good
Ewes, like Godiva, or Good-eva, of Gov
entry, and as there are bad Ewes. some
of whom we know. But there Is no real
ground for the common belief that snakes
are endowed with peculiar sapience.

A Bubblinp Lake.

Further up the slope some ten minutes
distance is the mother wonder of this
freakish corner of nature. A cone shaped
lake lies in the center OF bowl OF
hills. and is perforated with some fifty
small hubbling springs, which give the
surface a perpetual ripple OF dimples.
Some OF these are hot and some cold. In
the center OF the lake is a bottomless
crater, which has been sounded for some
300 feet. The Indians tell you. in all
sincerity. that while the Aztec people
were yet worshiping the god Huitzilo-
pochtli, land later disturbed by Cortez
and his mailed warriors, a portion OF
the great treasure for which the mighty
warrior and king Circumference was tor
tured to death was thrown into and
still lies in the bottomless bottom Of
this crater lake. 1t is said that II the
lake could be drained bars of silver and
gold could be recovered.

seems to really strike into the seething,
tumbling foam and loses itself in the
depths below.
Still beyond the lake, a stones throw
from it's margin. occurs another queer
eruption. 1t is a hole in the ground.
from which escapes a gas so foul and
deadly that any living thing passing low
enough to the ground will instantly be-
come suffocated with the poison fumes
and die.
