Magnificent Spectacle for
4th of July Evening
Cost Small Fortune.

The Fourth of July committee has
entered into contract at great ex-
pense with Hit Brothers, the ia
nous pyrotechnic artists, for what
is promised to be one of the finest
spectacles ever shown in the north
west. Hit Brothers fireworks made
the best impression of any which
were shown at the A.-Y.-P. exposi-
ton, and some of their most special
features shown at Seattle last sum-
mer will be repeated in Wenatchee
on the Fourth of July. They will
send an operator three days in ad-
vance who will superintend the con-
struction of a rack $50 feet long
and rs feet in height. This device
is necessary for the execution of the
numerous set pieces. The location
for the display cannot be chosen un-
til the expert arrives, and therefore
can only be announced at later
date.
Among the So features are a flag
and salute. AS the American flag
appears a salute of cannon rockets
fired rapidly into the air.
The Pillars of State are an effect
of three gigantic pillars, red, white
and blue, produced by the combus-
ton of three special tube batteries.
Alladin's Jewelled Tree is seen
glistening with colored blossoms six.
ty feet high.
The Magic Golden Wheel is re.
volving column of fire sixty feet
high.
The Forest of Glistening Palms is

A grand aerial rocket device Is
produced by the simultaneous dis
charge of number of large rockets
.giving the effect of hanging chains
appearing in the sky in different di'
rections, also floating batteries sus.
pended from parachutes, a beautiful
long and lasting effect.
A screen Of Electric Pearls will
be witnessed. Fiery globes OF the
new baby blue tint tossed back and
forth leaving trails of feathery spray
covering $50 feet in length and arts

1t begins to look now as if the
United States is to have two politi-
at Oyster Bay. The one interesting
and perplexing question is whether
going to come out of its shell. And
whether in case 1t does come out,
the occupant of the summer capitol
at Beverly will attempt to eat it.
One thing is certain, If that oyster
is as lively after 1t is eaten as 1t was
before. it will put a severe tax on
the digestive apparatus.

Teaching Horses to Jump.
From London Tit-Bits.

The marvellous exhibition of high
jumping at the recent Royal Horse
Show has produced new worlds rec
ord. The horse Jubilee. owned and rid
den by Capt. Borille of the French
Regiment, French Cuirassiers, cleared a
hurdle seven feet four inches in height
with perfect ease. Few of the people
who applauded this wonderful per-
formance, however, had any idea of the
months of patient training required be-
fore IA horse can be induced to success
fully take such high jump.
The Tit-Bit man had a chat on the
subject with II. auckland who Is one
OF the greatest authorities in the world
on training horses to jump. In most
cases" he said, each rider has his
own pet scheme. Usually a horse Is not
selected until it is at least four years
old. When it is hungry il is placed in
q small paddock. with tiny hurdle
across the center not more than twelve
inches high. Then. in full view of the
pupil a rider on a veteran jumper goes
several times over the tiny obstacle.
1.-The trainer then goes to the side
of the paddock opposite to the pupil
and holds a measure of corn or other
titbit so that the animal can see 1t, and
at the same time calls the horse py
name The horse. eager to get the food
soon jumps across the hurdle and after
il has eaten a few mouthfuls the trainer
goes to the other side of the ring and
repeats the lesson. This is done day
after day until the horse realizes what
is expected of it. and then the hurdle
is gradually increased in height. Up
to this time the horse has no rider, but
at this point the animal is tried with
a man on it's back. If he has learned
the lesson he is then taken out into the
country. where Ii Is expected to take
bitches. fences or hedges until the ami
NAL has sufficient nerve to make flying
jumps in public arenas.

early today and became unconscious. AL
the members of his family were at his

CLAIM TO HAVE WON
Government Party Asserts Su-
premacy in England.
RESULT OF THE ELECTIONS
Purely British Majority" Of Forty.
Liberals Cheered by Their
Increasing Totals.

LONDON, January 29.-The week closes
with the liberals in better heart as a re-
suit of their gradually swelling total.
They emphasize the fact that with the
laborites the governments purely British
majority will be forty. The fact that
Premier Asquith and Chancellor Lloyd
George are taking brief holiday, after
a short conference today, is further re-
assuring to the ministerialists, who see in
this act evidence of further harmony in
the cabinet. 1t is notable also that the
more moderate opinion, which few days
ago echoed the conservative suggestions
of a question on the subject of the house
of lords, has now come into line, the ex-
tremists declaring that it is the govern
once and then take up the matter Of the
lords.
Concession to Ireland Forecasted.
There is no question that the ploughing
Of sands by the Introduction of legisla-
ton would likely be barren Of results.
At the same time 1t is limited that the
second budget, which is due to be pre-
sented Immediately after the first is
passed, will contain concession to the
II LII lIe ItuuCtlOH Oh spirit taxes ana
to the impereialists by an increase in the
navy, for which probably s25, OOO, 900 will
be voted.
The unionists are confident that the
government will be plunged into difficult
ties from the outset by the liberals who
are certain to introduce their right to
work bill. which was rejected by the
government in the last parliament.
Moreover, the debate on the address Is
likely to be very animated.
Many Amendments Probable.
A host of amendments already is fore
Swallowed, including the home rule and
fiscal questions.
The latter, however, is likely to be in
the background so far as parliament is
concerned, although an active propaganda
will be continued in the constituencies
The warmest fight in the new parliament
will he On the vote of the house of lorus,
which all are agreed will precipitate a
new election within few months.

LAUGH AT FORTY THIEVES

STORY OF BAND.
Make Investigation of Charles Hur-
ley's Alleged Confession-Scout
Idea of Murder.

Maj. Sylvester, superintendent of police,
and Inspector of Detectives Boardman
had detectives make a thorough investi-
CATION yesterday of the statements at
tributed to Charles Hurley about the So
called band of forty thieves and the
murder of one of its members. Neither
of the officials mentioned placed any
credence in the story, and detectives who
Investigated it laughed last night when
questioned about it.
Harbormaster Sutton came in for his
share of the joking about the series of
crimes reported to have been committed
by the band He had not received
orders to drag for the. body of the re-
ported murder victim. In fact. he put
himself in the position of the man from
Missouri and nobody came forward to
show him.
"All bosh." remarked a detective last
night do you suppose such a crime
could have been committed and no men,
ton made of it? 1 didn't hear the name
of the murder victim mentioned.
80 far as l know" said Detective
Vermillion, mo mention was ever made
Of any band of thieves until yesterday.
] saw Hurley's grandmother and she
said nothing to me about any confession
made by young Hurley"
Drag the river?" asked the harbor-
master last night when questioned about
the reported weighing of body by the
SO called band.
Not yet he answered. 1.-The Potomac
is big river and 1 would not know
where to commence"
Another official made inquiry to ascer-
tain If there was anything to show
murder had been committed, and when
asked what he thought was used In
weighing the body, responded: "A string
of imagination"
The statements made to the detectives
engaged yesterday in making the investi-
CATION will be typewriter today. NAL
Sylvester will later announce the result

Housing Conditions.
From the Philadelphia Record.

The housing problem of Philadelphia is
less serious than that in New York, Bos-
ton and Chicago. This city is justly
proud of its two-story houses. which exist
in great numbers and afford people of
small incomes homes immeasurably su-
perior, to three or four rooms in great
tenement house. But Philadelphia Is not
without it's housing problem A consid-
cradle part of the population lives in
quarters unfavorable to good health or
good morals. That the city is more
fortunate than other large cities is no
reason for ignoring the evils which exist.
Recent legislation has provided for the
