THE sNIcKeRTEe's REVENGE.

Way down under the roots or the
red apple tree In the orchard lived a
band OF "Snickertees"-a band OF fairy
elves who were never pleased with
anything They had very long noses
that curled way up high. Tonight
they were plotting revenge on th@
farmer who owned the apple trees.

put the quill pen behind his ear.
Last year the farmer took away
all good apples from the orchard as
soon as they were ripe. and never left
us any excepting the rotten ones. Now

(By United Press Leased Wire.),

HAVANA, July 26.-General
Monteagudo and 100 men started
today for Santiago province, to
suppress a revolution begun by
General Miniet, a liberal leader
Although Miniet's force is small
and weak, his power politically is
strong and it is feared that the re-
belion will spread.
The troops were dispatched after
the government had been advised
that a number of veterans of the
Spanish war and many malcontents
had joined the rebelliOus general
Latest reports are that Miniet's
force has taken refuge in the
mountains and that rurales are In
pursuit of them. Massopara, a no
torious rebel, is reported to be arm

armed bands are said to be operat,

ago and Guantanamo.

reports were not worrying him and
announced that he would not post.

LIKE A GOOD
SCHEME LAY DUST

A scheme for laying the dust Of
the city, by an oil preparation
which will cost just about half that
which was recently proposed by a
local man, c. A. Belts, and was
found efficient when tested. was
brought to the attention of the
hoard of public works and Mayor
Pratt this morning by Mr.. Harder
of Portland, who received permits
sion to make extensive experiments
within the next two weeks.
Belts preparation was tried out
and the only thing which was ques-
toned about 1t was it's permanency.
Harder has tank full Of the nee
essary ingredients at Vancouver,

large quantity of the oily stuff next
week. He made arrangements this
morning with Standard Oil people
for transportation and storage facil-

PREPARE FOR BIG
"C00D GOVERNMENT"
POLITICAL RALLY

When the army Of organized
worwers in the city and country
unite for good government and
march in solid phalanx against the
ring that has SO long controlled at
fairs at the Spokane county court
house, the power of the people to do
things when aroused to action will
be felt.
The hint of this aroused public
sentiment has already stricken ter
rOr into the soults of the crooked
politicians that have for a genera
ton squandered the money wrung
from the people in exorbitant taxa
ton. The limited union of the farm
ers and the workingmen of the city
for better county government has
caused dismay in the ranks of the
gang, in which are men sufficiently
well trained in the school of politics
to know that a popular movement
of this character, when we'll organ
lied and once in action, will sweep
everything before 1t.

HAYNES REPLYING TO
THE CHARGES MADE

News which undoubtedly will stir
up some interest in this city was
contained in a regular telegraph as
sociation dispatch sent out from st.
Louis last night. 1t concerns action
taken against Edgar Allan Poe
HAYNES, publihser of the Herald.
Apropos of this news story. Mr..
Haynes. in the noon edition of his
paper today, made the following
statement:
Il want my friends and the peo-
pie of Spokane to withhold judg-
ment on the sensational article
printed in this mornings Spokes-
man-Review. until a full statement
of facts appears in the regular edi-
ton of the Herald today. Every
transaction involved in this matter
happened more than three years
ago and has been perfectly well I'M
derstood by all parties concerned
for more than three years"
Before printing this statement,
Haynes attorneys had stated that
nothing would be said in reply until
informed Of the specific charges.
The st. Louis Post-Dispatch
printed the following story yester-
day:
"While he was holding prayer
meetings in his office and giving his
leisure time to work as lay
preacher and antiwineroom cru
sader, Haynes, by a species of hyp-
motto influence, it is alleged by rep
resentatnves of the claimants, was
obtaining from some Of the most
conservative st. Louis business
men large sums of money

charged up to profit and loss by
Haynes creditors and the story Of
their transactions with him was
brought out today by the news Of

BID HIGHER
THAN ESTIMATE,
GOT CONTRACT

Although the figures in the bid
were % per cent higher than the
estimate made by the City En-
gineer Morton Mccartney, the con
trace for the laying of the sub
trunk sewer in the Fifth ward, dis
trict No. 8, was awarded to James
Broad this morning by the board of
public works.
The figures were respectively
s27,965 and s21,932. The work
must be completed in 90 days, ac-
cording to the terms on which the
bid was awarded. The sewer is
one which has been demanded by
the residents of the locality for
some time and work will be begun
on it at once. incidentally, the
Broad concern was the only one to
bid on the contract.
The bid of 1874 for the con-
structiOn of a sewer in Spofford
avenue from Wall to Haword, and
on Howard to Augusta, where the
city engineers estimate was S2,714,
has been help up, on account of a
protest received from residents of

BURNING
oO'ss'sssO
ISSUES
MONROE BRIDGE, CHARTER
ELECTION, CITY PRINTING
UP TO COUNCIL.

There is strong probability that
the air will be blue around the
council chamber tonight when the
city fathers get actively to work.
Three or four matters are pending
which, like the volcano, give rum
blings of hot times to follow.
Chief among these is the issue of
the city printing. Yesterday after
noon bids were opened for the city
legal advertising for one year, and
the Chronicle was found a few
cents lower than the Inland Herald.
but the Hehald was given the
work. The Chronicle management
has entered vigorous kick, and
backed by one or two of the coun-
cilmen, propose to fight it out on
the floor of the council, where the
action of the committee will come
up for approval. The Chronicle
has for years had the business, and
was awarded the contract a year
ago in spite of the fact that The
Press presented a lower bid.
How to proceed in the further
construction of the Monroe street
bridge is another burning issue
Some of the councilmen say that
there must either be new men
placed in charge of the bridge con-
struction by the engineers office
or else they will vote to complete
the bridge by contract. Almost the
full membershi poi the bridge
mems union will be on hand to
urge that a change of some kind
be made on the job.
Another question that bids fair
to stir up strife is the suggestion
of water COMMISSIONS by Coun-
Gilman Funk and endorsed by
Mayor Pratt.
The last water commission the
city had was legislated out of Of
flee for pernicious interference.
What the city council will do in
carrying out the order of Judge
Sullivan to call charter election
will be determined tonight.
The city dads may take their
medicine calmly, but some of them
are inclined to kick over the traces.

that this is a serious handicap to

numerous springs along the side
