Don't End Good Work

Around the court house the prospective resignation Of
Fred X. McBroom county commissioner still continues
to be the leading topics of conversation among those who
take interest in politics Mr.. McBroom will tender his
resignation in January that he will retire with his pres
ent colleagues the board j. S. Phillips and Henry
Rohwer Thus the board will elect his and
it that if the old gang elects two commissioners they
will elect three and maintain control of the board for
to come
To keep the control of the board of county commission
of the hands of the gang will be necessary for
the people in November to elect the two democrats
running, William r. Roy and Warner Cobb Had the
pubicans renomnated j. S. Phillips in the First district
and the choice of the farmers Ben Newell in the Second
district this step would not have been necessary but the
situation is that Allen Scott and W. b. Dshman

If the people of Spokane county reward the efforts of
Commissioners McBroom and Phillips by placing two ring
candidates back in office it will retard the forward

the influences that sucked the blood of the taxpayers for
years without giving anything in return.
The only way to down the ring and place the keys

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-All roads
lead to the Bronx zoo, where may
be seen the giant polar bear that
Paul Rainey and Harry, Whitney
brought back from the frozen north.
And he is some bear, more than
nine feet long and scrapper from
Scrap county. Timid people do not
linger long near the cage Of Silver
King when his majesty is having
one of the frequent tantrums which
have been his delight ever since
civilization claimed him.
1t may be that his enormous
strength will not break the iron
bars at which he tugs with teeth
and claws; it may be quite safe to
stand and gaze into his great red
mouth as he roars and growls In
frantic rage-but some folks would
rather go over and counts the spots
on the giraffe.
TWAS A JOB TO COOP HIM.
They had one swell time with
Silver King, getting him locked up
in that coop at the ZOO. He came
down from Pearyland in stout
wooden cage, in which he had
frothed and snorted during the long
voyage of the good ship BOethic. He
raised such an awful rumpus when
they took him off the ship that
four pounds of chloroform, gathered
hastily from all the drug stores in
the vicinity, was used to subdue
him.
Silver King was still groggy from
the chloroform when they got him
| to the zoo, and there were fears
that possibly an overdose had put
the magnificent beast into kingdom
come. But no trifling swabful of
chloroform could do away with Sill
yer King.
He was quite himself as soon as
he had been poked out Of the
wooden cage into the iron barred
den. Before the cage could be
moved away and the door Of the
den closed, he was all over the
place.
HE ALWAYS "cAME BACK
He thrust his mighty paws
| through the bars, and slashed saw
| agely in all directions. Nobody
dared go near the iron door, to pull
it shut. The job was being done at
night, with searchlight, and fin
ally the light was wheeled close to
the den and the beam turned
squarely into the bears paws. He
put his paws over them, just as a
person would do, and staggered
black, blinded by the glare. Then
| the door was slammed.
Later came zoo attendant with
q scraper, to clean the cage. His
scraper was pulled from his grasp
and broken to bits by the furious
bear. Another scraper went the

The helmet with its glass front

He followed it cautiously, into the
vitals of the cabin of the captain
There at the far end he saw Lar

its feet, but bending over some
thing that lay before him.
BriscOe crept up behind the
Swede. No sound was audible to
either man. encased as they were
in the strong helmets, and he was
enabled to approach directly be-

of light from a magnificent array
of diamonds, rubies and other
gems, set into bracelets and neck
laces. And hard by was the skele-
ton of the captain. Evidently he
had opened the chest to secure the
jewels when his fate overlook him.
Briscoe started, toppled, and fell
against Larsen. The Swede sprang
round.
He stood glaring at Briscoe for

throat. The sight of the coveted

the vital point of the divers or

In the slime and ooze the men

caught sight of an iron bolt that
rested almost at the foot of the
chest. He stretched out one arm,
caught it between his fingers, and,
with an exultant cry that was abb
solutely inaudible behind the glass
of his own helmet, smashed that of
Briscoe. Then, cautiously Olsen
tangling himself from the slain
mans body, he picked his way to
the outside of the vessel and gave
the signal to be pulled up.
Suddenly, Just as he began to as

legs caught in an unbreakabIe
clasp. With the last vestiges OF
his strength Briscoe, choking and
strangling, had flung his arms
around Larsen's ankles. In vain
were the Swede's struggles TO free
himself. Upward he rose, until he
was deposited upon the deck of the
salvage tug, carrying with him the
living witness to both his jewels
and his attempted crime.
