SIGNIFICANT "AELLo" CHANGES.
Moves Of Bell. Independent and Martin
Companies Cause Speculation.

Special to Times-R Republican,
Webster City, Nov. 5.-within a
month the Bell Telephone Company's
lines will be cut out of the board of
the Hamilton County Independent Tel
ephone Company in this city and in
stalled in the office of the Martin Tel
ephone Company. The Bell company
has already given thirty days notice
Of the contemplated change.
The move is one Of much Importance
to Webster City. for under the new
arrangement evtry toll line running
out of this state will run out of the
Martin office. The latter company is
making arrangements now to accom-
modate the new lines in its board and
install second toll operator.
Neither j. H. Martin nor the Bell
interests will give out any information
regarding the matter and discussion is
rife as TO whether the Bell has at last
gobbled up the Martin company or
whether Martin has secured control of
the Bell interests in this section

STRUCK BY LOCOMOTIVE.
John Hugg Lies Down Beside Rail-
road Track, is Hit by Locomotive
Pilot and Killed.

ELMA, April 9-Lying in drunk
en- stupor, his head seven inches from
the rail, his liquor-paralzed body ex-
tending down the railroad embank-
ment, Jack Hugg, an employe of the
Union Pacific construction crew, As
years old, was struck and instantly
killed at 2:45 o'clock yesterday after
noon by the pilot of Northern Pacific
engine No. 448, as the afternoon pas
senger train rounded the sharp curve
a mile east of Elma on its way to
Grays Harbor. The mans skull was
crushed in by the unyielding impact
of the locomotive and death was in
stantaneous.
The train was late and, running at
forty-five miles an hour to make up
time, passed three lengths beyond the
body before it could be stopped. His
head was badly cut and bruised by
the train. Every effort was made to
stop as soon as the engineer saw the
body on the track.
When Coroner Smits reached the
scene he carefully examined the body,
but found nothing except a recon-
mendation signed by a Union Pacific
foreman. 1t bore his name. Without
it his identity would probably never
have been known.
Hugg was paid $1.75 the night be-
fore and came to town, where he
drank heavily that night and the
next morning, and early in the af-
ternoon started to walk up the rail-
road track, considerably under the in
fluence of liquor. The section men
warned him to get off the track but
a short time before the train came
along. Nothing is known here of the
deceased or his relatives.

ETHAN ALLEN HITCHCOCK.
Former Secretary Of Interior Dies al
Washington at the Age Of
Seventy-Four.

WASHINGTON, April lothian
Allen Hitchcock, secretary of the in
terror under President Mckinley and
Roosevelt, died yesterday morning at
1 O'Clock, aged "a years. Mr.. Hitch
cock had been i'll for some weeks. He
contracted a severe cold while in the
West and his condition became so
serious that he hurried to Washing
ton to place himself in the hands of
specialists who had attended him dur
ing his official career here. He suf-
fered from complication of kidney,
heart and pulmonary diseases. At
his bedside were his son-in-law, Lieut.
Commander Sims, of the navy, the
former naval aide of the president; 4;
his children, Mrs. Sims and Mrs.
Shepley. His passing marked the
close of a career whose pre-eminent
feature was an administration of the
interior department that stirred the
land problems as never before.
The body will be taken to St.
Louis tomorrow, arriving there Sun
lay night. The funeral will be held
Monday, the interment being at the
Bellefontaine cemetery in that city.

is altogether too much"


The Chronicle also publishes in
terviews with 1S of the prominent
business men of that city, and the
keynote of all was to the effect that
one court house was sufficient and
that it should be built on the har-
Dor; that the present court house at
MOntesanO was good enough for its
decreased business for many years,
and that the county seat hould be
moved to the harbor.
Commissioner Geo. l.. Davis ex-
pressed himself to the Washingtonian
as opposed to the two courthouse
scheme, but Arland and Hopkins ap-
pear to have formed an alliance, that
serves to make Mr.. Davis a mere
figure head on the board so that his
voice does not count-a sort of re-
tributive justice, as Mr.. Davis as
county commissioner in 1906, not
only used his personal influence to
tho LIMIT hut his crf'oial powers to
defeat the removal of the county
seat to Hoquiam, the failure of which
is the cause of the present contention.
Commissioner Hopkins is quoted in
the World as saying he was "unalter-
ably opposed to county division, and
consequently in favor Of the court
houses" The attitude assumed by
Mr.. Hopkins is so inconsistent as to
approach absurdity. He knows as
we'll as anyone that the Montesano
court house is ample in size and ac-
commodations for the business for
years to come; and tho building of
a court house on Grays Harbor is
sure to cause county division, and
that the only reason for building a
new one at Montesano at this time
is to firmly anchor the county seat
Of Chehalis county when that newt
able division arrives. To deny his
knowledge of those self-evident facts
would be to insult the intelligence of
ing confidence in the credulity of his
constituents.
If it be true, as generally surmised,
that Commissioners Arland and
Hopkins have agreed to carry this
scheme through, its opponents must
organize for legal battle that will
at least hold it up until after the
- To-" IN, orgar,za-
tion should begin at once, and the
ball might be set rolling tomorrow
night at the meeting of the Aberdeen
Chamber Of Commerce. All that is
needed is for some organized body to
take the initiative.

THE BLACK CATS.
Are Working Hard at Walla Walla.
Manager Rowland Wants Men
Who Will Fight.

WALLA WALLA, April 1O-Row-
lands sixteen Black Cats now on
hand are finding that there isn't
much time to loaf while they are out
at practice, for the Aberdeen base
ball manager puts the men through
a strenuous course every day. His
pitchers he works out himself, for
he is an Old-timer at the catching
business and he is able to size up
the slabmen in short order. He has
six on hand and will open in Spokane
with this number at the present cal
culations. Two of his twirlers are
left-handed, while four follow the
right-hand style. The southpaws are
Sewer, his star performer, and Per-
noll. Califf, Wilder, Most and Star
kell throw with their right arms and
they have been fooling the locals
with their slants.
Rowland's system of working out
his batters Is also developing them.
There is no running to first and back
with him when the batter hits the
ball in practice. The man must go
around the bases, and go fast, also.
The manager early in the season
decided that the only way to give
the Cats sight of the pennant was
to develop bunch that will fight
for every score, as he will be away
from home with them most of the
time and in the enemy's territory,
where the rooters will hand it to
them hard. He has been doing his
best to build up this spirit, and it
seems to be taking effect.
Two of Rowland's men have not
appeared yet, Fitzgerald and House.
holder, both of them vets of last
years nine, but they are expected to
arrive long enough before the first
game to get in shape.
Rowland's men have been playing
practice games with the Whitman
college, city and penitentiary teams,
and while the local aggregations
have not been giving them a hard
rub, the men have been getting
plenty of practice and have benefit
ted a great deal by it.
The men who are in camp now are:
Pitchers-Califf, Wilder, Most STAR
kell, Sewer and Pernoll.
Catchers-O'Brien and Kreitz.
Infielders - Streib, Herbert, Carr,
Bewer, Moore (F'itzgerald still to re-
port).
Outfielders-Le Juene and Camp
bell, with Householder yet to re-
port.

TWO court HOUSES
MUCH OPPOSITION DEVELOPS TO
PLAN OF COMMISSIONERS.
Nothing Has Ever Before So SOliditied
the East and West Ends of Cheha-
lis County as the Scheme to Spend
a Quarter of a r1iiiiOn on Court
Houses.

The article in the Herald of last
Thursday, calling attention to the
iniquitous scheme of building two
court houses at cost of a quarter
million dollars has borne a plenti-
full crop of fruit. 1t has opened the
eyes of the people Of Aberdeen, Ho-
quiam and Elma, and called forth
loud protests from those cities. 1t
requires no great amount of acumen
to discover that two court houses in
evitably means county division at
the next election, in fact, the act
providing for a judge on Grays Har-
Dor might we'll have been entitled
IAN act to either move the county
seat to Grays Harbor, or divide Che
halls county" With superior
court, a court clerk and deputy, a
sheriff and jailer it will soon be dis
covered that we have almost dual
county government, and with this
discovery will come the feeling on
Grays Harbor that it will be good
business proposition to have our own
commissioners, assessor, treasurer,
auditor, and school superintendent,
as the benefits of having our own
commissioners and assessor will more
than Offset the cost of the other Of
fees.
But, the sentiment of the county is
against division, If the county seat
be placed so as to convenience the
greatest number of people, and, if
the tone of the press may be taken
as an indication of that sentiment,
there will be no difficulty next year
in placing the county seat on the
harbor, where it should have been
placed two years ago, and would
have been located had those who are
now protesting voted for their own
and the county's interest-but that
is ancient history, the business of
today is to prevent the building of
at least one Of those court houses.
To accomplish this will require the
united action of Aberdeen, Hoquiam,
and Elma, the securing of which will
occasion no difficulty.
The Elma Chronicle quotes the
Herald article and says:
Help us to prevent this double
ended outrage, and next year if you
want the county seat, this writer
will do all he can to help you get it.
Three years ago now, Montesano
was claiming that her court house
was good enough for twenty years,
but now all this is changed. If new
vaults and repairs are needed, let
the commissioners provide for them,
but $250,000 wasted on court houses

CLEANUP DAY.
Residence Districts Of City Take a
| Day Off Saturday to Clean Up
Yards and Alleys.

The street department was the
busiest concern in town Saturday,
winch had been proclaimed Cleanup
Day" Street Commissioner Hits
was unable, with the number of
teams at his command, to cover the
entire city, but quite wide scope
of territory was covered, and the
work will be continued this week
until the entire city has been gone
over and given a spring cleaning.
The residents every where entered
into the spirit of the day, and all
took hand in collecting garbage
and debris into barrels and boxes
for the wagons. In many instances,
where convenient, the rubbish was
burned, and the services of the teams
not called for. 1t is the intention OF
Commissioner Hits to turn his at
tention to the business sections az
soon as the residence districts are
finished.

WITHOUT STOMACH
Man Living With Both Stomach
and Part of Intestlnes Gone.

His gullet closed and his stomach
turned to gristle by copious draught Of
hydrochloric acid, which he had swal-

fornia lie nearing recovery here today,
after a series OF surgical operations, the
last of which involved replacing the
mans mouth with silver tube in the
proximity of his diaphragm, through
which he takes predigested food.
The operation disclosed an almost
hopeless state Of internal affairs. The
aesophagua had closed so that thesman
could not swallow. On exploring the
region OF the stomach it was found to
have tGrned TO a sristly ball, which SUR
geons removed, leaving pouch as big
as fist. All the mucous membrane
had been destroyed. so that neither gas
trio Juice nor pepsin could be secreted,
As d last resort, when effoits to join
the stomach TO the end OF the intestine
had failed, all former openings in the
stomach pouch were olesed aud it was
joined to the intestine a foot OF more
below the normal position. The stom-
ach then was drawn close to the abdom-
inal wall and a tube inserted, through
which he may be fed.
His condition is such that the sur-
geons have begun to feed him small
quantities OF undigested food, thinking
that the mucous membrane is gradually
being restored in the stomach remnant.
II was found that Allan could swallow
again and another operation win prob

Monkey Business

That illustrious near-actor and more
man-than-monkey, Consul the Great,
says the New Yrk World, made his de-
but in the American Music Hall before
an admiring crowd, which, before his
speciality at 5000 per half hour was end
ed, would rot have been in the least sur
prised if he had stepped to the front OF
the stage and read the Declaration Of
Independence.
The stage was set to represent room
in hotel, and Consul, haberdashed
and tailored, in the latest Picadilly
style, strolled in nonchalantly. He was
by long odds the best dressed man in
the house, from his carefully tied cravat
down to his patent leather shoes. In
appearance and manner he resembled
misshapen mortal much more than a
beast.
Consul the Great unlocked his front
door, removed his overcoat and flung
himself into an armchair. Then he
reached into his waistcoat pocket, pro-
duced a cigarette and lighted it with a
match which he scratched and then
blew out with nice obedience to the fire
laws.
Having smoked, the monkey unbut-
toned his clothes, pulled them off and
prepared for bed. When blundeiing
hambermaid walked into his bachelor
apartment his outraged modesty
prompted him to shy his shoes and col
lar at her.
Soon Consul the Greats luxurious
living gave way to an athletic perform
ance. He was put into more loosely
fitting suit and mounted a bicycle man
fashion. Then he pedalled unaided
around the stage in amazing evolutions.
He rode up and down flights of steps
and in and out among bottles with more
than human precision and finally disap-
peared amid great applause.
That was not all. 1t remained for
Consul the Great TO mar his perfect rec
ord. When he came back he was
dressed as a laborer and wheeled cart
on which was an ordinary sized trunk.
The simian marvel dumped it In the
middle OF the stage, produced key, un.
locked the paddock. lifted the lid and
drew forth a much frightened pig.
1t was part Of Consul's act to sit In a
chair With the pig in his arms and feed
it from nursing bottle. But the pig
wriggled away and in twihkling the
monkey finally cornered it and for g
few moments the pig had the advantage
of the chase but finally cornered 1t ano
showed his rage by beating and biting
it. Then his mood changed and he
tenderly wrapped his squealing victim
in his hairy arms and administered th'
bottle.
At the close of the performance Con
sui strutted before the curtain anC
bowed. He liked the applause so wei
that when it began to die away he ap
plauded himself.

detested and who hate her with all the
Latin vindictivness for one not Of their

OF the Spanish court as an interlope
