SUSPECT CAUGHT
Police Think Negro Has knowledge
of Attack on Engineer
Neibert.

Hagerstown, Feb. 16.-The dragnet
thrown out by the police and Sheriff
Barber for the three desperadoes who
assaulted and robbed John G. Neibert,
engineer at Boyer e Heard's grain
elevator here early Monday morning
and tried to kill their victim by try
ing TO throw him into the furnace and
then placing him in the flywheel, re-
suited in the capture of a negro sus-
pect yesterday morning at Security.
two miles from Hagerstown.
Deputy Sheriff Alexander returned
from Security about 8 o'clock with
Harry Jones, who is suspected by the
officers of having some knowledge OF
the crime. Jones is a stocky negro
with a husky voice. Mr.. Neibert told
the officers that n of his assailants
talked like he had a bold cold or his
voice was very husky, Jones stated
that he knew Mr.. Neibert, but denied
knowing anything about the assault.
Jones is from Hagerstown and is a
cart driver. He is being held pending
a further investigation, the officers
| being firm in their opinion that he
may be able to throw some light on
the affair.
Make Thorough Search.
Ever since the assault the entire po-
lice force and Sheriff Barber and his
three deputies have made an exhaus-
tive search of the city and neighbour
hood for the desperadoes. The best
description o%btainable of the trio has
been wired to every available city and
town within a radius of a hundred or
more miles on the theory that the rob.
bers may have escaped on a train.
Mr.. Neibert still holds to his opin.
ion that the men were negroes. He
said they discussed their plans to muir
der him in %undertones which gives
rise to the belief that the men have
been foreigners and could not be un.
derstood by their victim. Mr.. Neibert
again related his story of the attack
to the police late last night, adding
a few details. He will recover from
his injuries.

Mr.. Neibert said later that he has
the husky voice and although of n OF
his a~ssailants indelibly fixed in his
memory. While he was begging for
his life, when the robbers were fore
ing his head into the furnace door,
one of them laughed. The same man,
he said, carried him across the room
and placed him in the fiywheel, re-
marking, D you, wen fix you this
time" Though nearly crazed with
pain from being thrust in the furnace,
Mr.. Neibert said he wildly recalls the
voice and laugh of the man, and ne
would be able to identify him among
a thousand.

INTEREST IN SCHOOL WORK.

Patrons of the Lewis and Clarke
school are cooperating with the
school authorities to add to the ef-
ficiency of the work done there. BY
organizing a neighborhood club, the
patrons meet at the school house at
stated times to discuss matters rela-
tive to the good of the school. In
this way the teachers and the pa
irons are enabled to get at each 9TH
er's point of view with the result
that misunderstanding may be
avoided and suggestions be made OF
mutual benefit.
The program given yesterday even
ing in which a photograph was used
to reproduce musical selections from
classical authors with a view of dem
onstrating that as much, If not more,
pleasure may be derived from listen
ing to the strains of the old masters
than to the customary rag time, IS
an instance of the beneficial results
of these meetings.

G. N. RAILROAD IMPROVEMENTS

The Great Northern contemplates
making many improvements this
summer in the roadbed and also in
the telegraph line between here and
Skykomish. The telegraph line will
be rebuilt, and at points where ex-
perience has shown interruption oc-
ours during the winter cable instead
of single strand wire will be used.
The poles will be set much closer and
will be much heavier than those in
use at present.
Between Leavenworth and Skyko-
mish the staff and block system will
be installed. Three thousand feet of
passing track will be built at the
power plant. At Chiwaukum, Mason
Creek, Berne and Gaynor the capa-
city of the sidings will be doubled.
The entire line through the noun
tains will be laid with new and hea-
vier steel than that used in the past.
Through the tunnel an extra heavy
steel will be used. These improve
ments will begin just as soon as men
can be procured.-Leavenworth Echo

This IS MY 5efH BIRTHDAY"
Albert L. Mills.

Brig. Gen. Albert L. Mills, U. S.
A., commander Of the Department of
the Gulf, was born in New York city,
May Z, 1854, and was educated at
the United States Military Academy,
graduating in the class of 1879. In
his early career in the army he par
ticipated in the campaign against
the Crow Indians in 1887 and against
the Sioux in 1890. He reached the
grade of captain in 1898 and in the
same year became superintendent of
the United States cavalry. In the
Cuban campaign he won promotions
for gallantry in the actions at San
tiago and Las Guasimas. In 1898
he was appointed superintendent of
the West Point academy, a position
he held for eight years. In 1906 he
was put in command Of the Depart
ment of the Visayas, in the Philip
pines, and after his service there he
was transferred to his present COM
mand, with headquarters in Atlanta.

munity. Under the system now in
vogue the people speak authoritative
ly only at one time and that is when
they vote at primary elections. There
is no evidence at hand that the peo-
pie of this community or of any other
community have ever been consulted
about the appointment of postmas-
tiers, census enumerators, census SUI
pervisor, register or receiver of the
land Office or in fact of any other
Office, but there is evidence that the
so-called political leaders have been
consulted.
Congressman Poindexter deliber-
ately chose to forego the right ac-
corded to the other congressional
representatives to control patronage
in his district rather than to retain
1t by submission to the Cannon-Ald-
rich faction which has the backing
of the administration. He made his
campaign as an opponent of Can
nonism, and his course in congress
has been in harmony with the de-
claration of principles made during
the campaign. He did not believe
that the tariff bill squared with the
declarations of the republican plat
form and he voted against it. If the
people of the state do not sympa-
thize with his opposition to stand
pat policies and his championship of
progressive republican principles,
they have other candidates to whom
they will give their support. But
the people at the polls will decide the
question, not small bunch Of the
old-time machine leaders.
The people of this locality and of
this state are not idiots, neither are
they ID fools. They have sense
enough to know how they want to
vote and how to discriminate between
principles and subtle attempts to dis
credit a man like Poindexter who is
making a brave fight against the in
fuences of Cannonism and Aldrich-
ism in congress.

language went out OF fashion. When
he was boy 1t was considered bad
form for gentleman to retire to rest
otherwise than intoxicated, while al
most every phrase spoken was en-
bellished with appalling blasphemy.
And If a higher tone of morality and
greater sense of propriety now pre-
walls than in the earlier half of the
last century, it Is in great measure
due to the unobtrusive but excellent
care which his majesty took to keep
out of society those who had forfeited
their right to remain within its pale.
He was as ready as any other votary
of pleasure to meet them in the
sphere to which they had descended
and to treat them there with kind
ness and consideration, but he would
not tolerate their presence in houses
that were respectable, and took quiet
means to eliminate them therefrom.
One of the most pleasing traits of
King Edward was his singularly hap
py home life. He was the object of
many stories of a more or less SLAM
derous nature, which he always con-
sidered it beneath his dignity to deny
or refute. But it was only neces-
sary to see the king among his fam
lily at Sandringham, and to observe
the affection with which his nephews
and nieces spoke of Uncle BERTHE"
TO realize that much that was spoken
and written about him was absolute
ly untrue.
1t is believed that King Edward
leaves little personal estate. From
the time he attained his majority he
had lived in a more or less extrava-
CANT manner and had never Guilt
waited that frugality which enabled
his mother, the late Queen Victoria,
to be rated among the worlds richest
women. King Edward was liberal
with his family and his friends and
oftentimes found it difficult to make
both ends meet out of the royal al
lowance.

POINDExTER AND THE MACHINE.

No thinking man who is familiar
with the most elementary principles
of politics has taken seriously the
charge made against Congressman
Miles Poindexter. the leader of pro-
gressive republicanism in this state,
that he is attempting or has attempt
ed to build up following by prom
Uses of political rewards. The ability
of any representative in congress, or
any senator to control patronage in
his district or state depends entirely
on his standing with the administra-
ton. A school boy or school girl of
the present day knows this. Even a
hopeless lunatic knows that the re-
commentator of a congressman to
appointive offices in his district is
absolute if the administration is sat-
isfied with his attitude. On the other
hand, if he is not in accord with the
administration, no more attention Is
paid to his recommendation than ii 1t
were made by a member of an oppo-
site political party.
The disgusting. inane, senseless
barney that has been INDUCED in by
those who sought to iiscredit the mo-
tives of Congressman Poindexter has
not misled thinking men and thus far
the World has paid no attention to
it. There is not an intelligent man
in Chelan county who does not know
that the reason why Congressman
Poindexter is not permitted to con-
troll the patronage of his district Is
because he voted against the Payne
Aldrich tariff and because he voted
to remove Speaker Cannon from
membership on the committee on
rules and also voted to relieve him
from his duties as speaker and thus
incnrred the displeasure not only OF
the administration but OF all other
members of the Washington 3elega-
ton. The enmity manifested by his
colleagues from this state, together
with his unyielding hostility to Speak
er Cannon deprived him OF a right
enjoyed by his colleagues to make re-
concentrations for postmasterships
and other offices that rightfully, ac-
cording to custom, belong to him.
There is not a demented old woman
living who has not sense enough left
not to know that il Congressman
Poindexter had allied himself with
the Cannon-Aldrich faction of con-
gress as Senator Jones and the two
other representatives of this state
have done, that his recommendations
would have been acted on favorably.
The cheap buncombe that has been
put out about "the people" means
substantially that some half dozen
men who represent the old time or
ganization that existed prior to the
enactment of the district primary law
and who dictated the patronage or
this locality heretofore assumed to
themselves the divine right to speak
for the whole people of this COM

There is perhaps no more salts
factory way in which to institute
changes in educational methods than
to have them discussed informally
in patrons meetings. Objections can
be raised and answered and when
an innovation is introduced less criti-
elm or objection is apt to be made.
The cooperation of patrons and the
school authorities is one of the best
means to promote harmony and to
increase the efficiency of the schools.

INTEREST N
GOOD HEALTH
EXHIBIT AND MEETINGS UNDER
AUSPICES OF STATE BOARD OF
HEALTH CREATED A GREAT
DEAL OF INTEREST.

The concluding meeting of the two
days session of the good health ex-
hibit showed a sustained interest in
the subject of tuberculosis. Mayor
J. A. Gellatly presided and opened
the evening meeting promptly at 8
o'clock with some we'll chosen sug-
gestions and words of appreciation.
The first address was by DR.. Culp.
In a we'll written paper the doctor
gave some very helpful sanitary sug-
gestions, showing how tuberculosis
might be practically exterminated if
care was taken with the sputum and
good, wholesome food and proper
sunlight were given an opportunity
to do their work.
The next paper was by DR.. Blake
on tuberculosis bacilli. He said: Il
am not speaking to those who have
consumption but rather to those who
may desire to assist in keeping from
having it," He gave an interesting
and scholarly sketch of the history
of this dread disease.
DR.. Stevenson followed with an in
formal address from Am My Bro
theirs Keeper" He showed that
since only 2 per cent die of old age
there is much yet to be done in
handling these preventable and cur
able diseases. Among the things
that he suggested as a duty is to
carry on a campaign of education;
to open and exterminate flies and to
assist the officials in the enforcement
of anti-spitting ordinance.
The main address of the evening
which was we'll received by an audi
ence that filled the hall, was by DR..
Kelley, assistant commissioner of the
state board of health. He devoted
practically all of his time to the dis
cussion of typhoid fever, showing
that the fever had cost this county
in the last year $29,750. He said
that bad water infected milk, direct
contact and flies are responsible for
the scattering of this disease, and
that every case of typhoid comes
from some other case of typhoid.
He further called attention to the
error frequently made in diagnosis
in that mild forms of typhoid are fire.
quently diagnosed as malaria. He
stated concretely that up to the pres
ent time the Washington state board
of health acknowledged that only
three cases Of malaria have been
known within the bounds Of this
state, and that this matter is one
which should be given very careful
attention by both the medical fra
ternity and the laymen. He suggest
ed for the determination Of typhoid,
which he claims can be done, that
four lines of activity should be fol-
lowed: First, a laboratory scientific
ally equipped, costing from 5000 to
5000 should be established here;
second, the health officers should be
given more power and more money
to work with; third, that typhoid
cases should be Immediately iso-
lated, and fourth, that literature In
the form of pamphlets dealing with
the prevention and cure of this dis
ease should be freely scattered.

Ascends EngIand's Throne.

Upon the death of Queen Victoria
in 1901 the Prince of Wales assumed
the title of King Edward VII. With
Queen Alexandra he was crowned
with great ceremony in Westminster
Abbey, August 8, 1902. On the eve
of the date originally fixed for the
coronation, which was earlier in the
summer, the king was obliged to-
undergo a serious operation. For a
time it was feared his life was in
danger. AS a ruler the king dis
played the same tact and political
sagacity that had distinguished him
for so many years as Prince of Wales.
All his life long his majesty was
champion of outdoor sport, and
each year his stable carried away
a list of the most costly prizes offered
by the English turf. In 1900, while
still Prince of Wales, he headed the
list of winning owners, gaining the
triple crown" by capturing the Der
by, the st. neger and the Two Thou
sand Guineas races. His winnings
for the season amounted to $148,000.
Horse racing was one of his principal
pastimes and his influence did much
to make the English turf freer from
fraud than that of any other racing
country in the world.
The English people are indebted
to King Edward for many reforms.

FARMERS MAY STOP NEET
RAISING UNLESS SUGAR
COMPANY RAISES PRICE

Windsor. Dec. 31.--A special meet
ing of the Windsor Chamber OF Com
merce to which all farmers were In
vited was held at the Woodman hall
last night. The time was given over
to u discussion OF sugar beet raising
and many Windsor farmers are SER
lously considering refusal to grow
any more beets for the Great West
ern Sugar company ut the present
rates.
Beet growers declare that the beet
crop was so poor this year that they
have been unable to meet their bills
that sugar beet raising at the present
HAT rate OF SIS n ton means loss
and that other crops can be raised
far more profitably on tho land
which has been contracted to the
factory. II the farmers will stand
pat this means serious trouble for
the factory at Windsor.
The subject was agitated In pre-
vious years. as there has always been
more or less discomfort with the
amount paid by the factory to the
growers. but the partial failure OF
this years crop has made feeling un-
usually high this year.
A committee was appointed to see
all the farmers in the district and
arrange with them for n rrass meet
ing to be held In the near future.

THE FIRE WARNING SUG-
GESIlON

The suggestion which has been
made to the effect that another sys-
TEN of signaling be observed by the
fire department in the call of the
whistle, is one that should meet with
the careful consideration of the fire
officials. The letter written to the
Tribune yesterday from a subscriber
vas to the effect that such a change
IS necessary so that the citizens, par
ticularly those who do not have tele-
phones, can tell the location OF a fire
by the number OF blasts blown on
the whistle
1t has been suggested that one
whistle. after a pause following the
first general alarm, be held for the
first ward, two for the second ward
and so on. AS things now prevail,
the simple blowing of the whistle
means only that there is fire and
1t may be that the fire is next door
for all the man who is awakened at
night may know and who happens
not to have a telephone 1t is neces-
sary that the citizens of the town
be given some warning OF the loca-
tion OF the fire
In the larger cities the changing
OF score of pieces of apparatus are
sufficient to guide the population,
but in Greeley, where a whistle is
sounded anyway, there is no reason
why it should not designate the To-
cation OF the fire.
1t would be rather important to
the business man to know that the
fire is in the district where his store
is located, or to the rancher that
his house is located in the district.
1t is a method which prevails in
many cities of the country and il
is to be hoped that the city council
will consider the proposition serious
ly. There appears to be no actual
drawbacks to such a scheme and II
would certainly do much good from
the standpoint OF information to the
people.
