Murdered Woman. Remembered in St. Louis for Her Beauty and Singing While at Her
 HouseWork.

Lcndon, July 1.-The London po- lice and Scotland Yard duluorit. $, naked in their efforts to apprehend Dr. Hawley Harvey Crippen, are bas- ing their hopes on the fact that when Dr Crippen disappeared he had only s250 in money, but carried jewelry, beloneing to his wife, valued at $25.O00
 The detectives have an accurate list of this jewelry, which they cabled to all parts of the world. They believe Crippen's funds will be exhausted soon. and that he will be forced to dis pose of some of the jewels. The po- lice admit that Dr. Crippen has slipped through their fingers, though they have not relaxed their efforts.

GEORGE S. LOTUS, ADVOCATE OF
TERMINAL TIES, NOW

A man was in town yesterday. He is man who meas
ures up to Twentieth Century standards. His name is
George s. LOTUS and he is of those young men who
are leading in the fight against the 'system' wherever
met.
Mr. Lotus came to Spokane in the interest of the fight
to secure terminal rates from the Milwaukee and the
North Coast railroads He thinks that it is entirely feas
lbe to to these roads Gve terminal rates or stay
out And he has his reasons for the position he takes
the matter.
In the American magazine for May an article about
Lotus will appear He is the who last week won the
fight against the Pullman company, to lower rates
for sleeping berts This is his greatest service to the
people far but his in this line seems only to have
been begun.
Here is what the magazine article says Of him:
1.-The reform work of this private citizen has no
parallel in American history mpeled in his later and
larger fights by no motive but patriotism, with en-
tenchment of public position at his back practically alone
and unaided he has struggled with wonderful wisdom
and wonderful resuts.''
In the opinion of The Press, when like this says
Spokane should hold ont for terminal rates. his words
should have considerable effect.

The effect also is evil for
headstrong, angry natures,

to drink too much and endan-

with others.
Ingenious persons, mechan-
