Spokane is an awful wicked
place, according to the opinion of
R. B. Maxon of Michigan, this
morning. When Maxon awakened
from a refreshing snooze in room
No. 6 of the N. P. hotel, where he
staid last night, while en- route
from Michigan to Colville, Wash,
he stretched and yawned and piled
out to dress-but he didn't dress.
Some heartless burglar had act
ualy. carried away his money, his
tickets, his clothes and shoes, and
very nearly everything but Maxon
himself.
He worked his way out to the
telephone, wrapped in bed quilt,
and this is the conversation that
passed between he and Desk Officer
Hogan at police headquarters:
Il say, officer, my room has
been visited by burglars. Send me
a detective at once"
Desk Officer-Well, now, ahem,
indeed! Listen-you must come
to the police station and make a
formal report of your case and we
will then see what a plain clothes
man can do for you.
Maxon Impatient and SILVER
ing)-Well, IL be hanged; how in
- do you suppose l can come to
the police station? have no
clothes! The b.b-urglar t-took them
ALI"
Both parties hump up their re-
ceivers almost simultaneously and
Detective Dial was dispatched to
the young mans rescue. The sight
that met his eyes when he reached
room No. of the N. P. hotel was
pitiable, for there upon the side of
the bed, looking as though every
friend had deserted him, sat young
Maxon, with his cold, bare feet
sticking out below blanket
All the young fellows money
and clothes had been stolen, to.
gether with is railroad ticket, and
he was left destitute, friendless
and alone in strange town. No
clue was found to the burglary, but
arrangements will likely be made
to fit young Maxon up for the re.
mainder of his journey to Colville.

The political kings of old used to
tear down the houses of the poor,
and drive them from their fields so
that they. the kings, might use the
lands to hunt bear and boars and

only does the same thing.

cheap. II win go much higher The

The great Patten wheat corner,
which is now In full force, really
started on June 20, when wheat for

Hingel alleged that Rudy owed

President Taft is a glutton for

FINE EVENING FOR
IRISH FOLKS

The ST. Patrick's day observance
last night at the Auditorium thea
ter, under the auspices of the An
cient Order of Hibernians, was at
tended by an audience that filled
the theater to capacity. American
and Irish flags were displayed and
the green was everywhere in evil
dence, both on the stage and among
the audience. The gallery was fill
ed with students from Gonzaga col
lege, who were liberal in their ap-
plause.
The program consisted of the
presentation of tht Irish drama,
colleen Bawn," by the Shirley
company, in a most satisfactory
manner; an address by Rev. Thorn

posted in the exchange till Nov. 2
by this time Patterns activities had
pushed the price to $1.02. He was
determined that it should not &C
down.
Lucky Jim" they called him
around Chicago. He had been
known as the corn king before,
also as the oat king. Now he had
started on wheat. For months his
agents had been busy all around
the world, gathering figures, esti.
mates of the coming crop, and OF
the amount of wheat already avail
able.
Patten decided that this was his
luck year. He says himself that he
is just betting that the year will be
a short one in production, which
would naturally force prices up. He
says he hasn't made prices, that he
is just a prophet, who guessed that
prices would go up naturally.
Believing that wheat would 60
up, Patten began to buy with the
first ringing of the gong on Nov. 2.
He has been buying ever since,
with the result that the price has
climbed to close to S120 a bushel-.
a length of corner which goes close
to the record
When wheat was at $102 Patten
would be offering S1.03, and taking
all that was offered. When $1.03
became standard, he would offer
$1O4.
Other brokers sold him wheat
which they did not have, believing
that the price would drop so that
they could buy and sell to him at a
profit. But wheat kept on rising, a
point at time.
One of these was John G. Lund
of Minneapolis, whose agents had
given him favorable reports about
the size of the new crop. He be-
lieved that $104 was an abnormal
price, that since there was so much
wheat the price would certainly
drop. He sold large quantities to
Patterns agents.
Probably Lund was right. But
the market believed Patten and
helped push the price up. Lund, a
multimillionaire, was crushed. With
ruin staring him in the face, Lund
killed himself.

tic concern, whose agents and
branches encompassed the world,

Failures and suicides and men
driven insane-these are bi-prod-
ucts of wheat corners.
But Lucky Jim" never stopped
for suicides or failures. His giant
machine, like a new steam roller,
passed on and on.
Dollar wheat is a high price in
the wheat pit. One cent advance
over that is like 10 pints advance
below. But Patten pushed the
price up and up. 1t reached $1.19.
1t will go higher, he says. Every
day the stock exchanges are wild
All the sales are made for May
delivery. This means that all the

President Taft is starving his

None of them hold the actual
wheat. They sold with the belief
that the price will drop SO that
they can buy and fill orders with
Patten at profit.

Those who can't buy what at any
figure will go down broken, dishon

have to do so at tremendous sacri
fees. Many will close out before
May comes-perhaps like John
Lund did-with a pistol bullet.
This in case Patten holds up his
corner till May. If wheat should
get the better of him he will have
to pay at the inflated prices for all
the wheat he bargained for-or he
himself be the ruined man. But he
expects to win. Already he has
held up the corner longer than any
but two or three men in history.

The bill was introduced by
Groves and amends the marriage
laws of the state by declaring an
habitual drunkard incapable of con.
tracing marriage and defining an
"habitual drunkard' to be a person
who becomes intoxicated twice a

applicants for marriage licenses

Memories of boyhood days of promi-
nent Morristonians will be recalled by
the presentation TO the Morristown
library Of framed picture Of Sandy
Goney" by J. Cummings Vail. SANDY
Goney" was that strip of land lying
between the Whippany river and mill
race back of the old Martin mill near
the Lackawanna railroad crossing of
the Whippany. At this point years
ago Morrlstown boys used to congre-
gate to swim and it was the recognized
swimming hole of,the town. Mr.. Vail
has inscribed on che back of the pic
ture presented to the Morristown Ii
brary by the artist, j. @. Vail, one of the
old Morris academy boys, in grateful
remembrance of the many happy visits
to the spot represented in the other
side, with the hope that it will recall
to others, as it has to me, coveted
memories of our boyhood days" Nor
ris academy was Morristown's first
school and it is still continued in the
library and lyceum building. The
picture shows the swimming hole az
it is to-day, with half dozen happy
lads enjoying the cool water.
