Had a Premonition.

SCENIC, Wash, March 3.-Awakened
Is minutes before the Wellington slide
by dream and literally forced to dress
andwalk to the clubhouse just in time
to escape being hurled to death with
the others, is the story Charles An
drews, an engineer of Leavenworth,
tells today. Andrews says he was
awakened from a sound sleep at 1
o'clock in the morning. Unable to go
back to sleep, the mental impression
of impending disaster being so strong,
he finally walked to the bunk house
where the other men were sleeping and
sat down on the steps alone.
A few minutes later came a rumble
and then a roar and flying particles Of
snow cut off his view. When it settled,
where the trains had been but a few
moments before, nothing remained.

A dramatic censorship is not con-
sistent with American ideas. Whatever
offends against plain decency ought to
come within the province of the po-
lice, whether on the stage or any 9TH
er place. But to censor plays requires
such an amount of knowledge, judg-
ment and discrimination as is not like
ly to be found in the average office
holder. Such an office would require
an especially qualified censor, and the
condition is too ideal to hope for per,
manent realization. AS it is, the av-
erage American mind is clean and
healthy one, and education in this
respect should be moral influence rath-
er than legal autocracy.

PERSONAL TAXES
SOON DELINQUENT

County Treasurer ]. Carter Smith
reported this morning that there are
a large number of taxpayers assessed
for personal property, who have so
far neglected to call and pay their tax
es, although they will be declared de-
linuuent on the 18th of this month.
Some confusion may have been caused
by the fact that real property taxes
do not become delinquent until June /,
but the laws of the state allow only
until March Is for personal property
taxes to be paid, and the county treas
urer is directed to declare taxes de-
linuuent which are not paid by that
date.

SESSIONS AT WASHINGTON.

The senate seems to be ready to take
up seriously the plan for later daily
sessions which has been reported un-
animously by the committee on rules.
When Mr. Bailey of Texas, made the
suggestion a month or more ago that
it would be more convenient for the
senate to begin work later and to sit
possibly during some part of the even
ing, the idea was generally dismissed
as a vagary. The committee on rules
has, however, found substantial merit
in that part Of Mr.. Bailey's innovation
which abandons the daily meeting at
noon. Both houses have convened at
noon for so long that any other hour
of meeting seems a violent affront to
tradition. Noon was a later hour,
however, a generation ago than it is
today, and the present larger demand
on the time of members of congress
seems to require a readjustment of the
daily schedule at the capitol.
The house of representatives 10
years or more ago, finding itself push
ed for time, abandoned what was
known as the morning hour devoted
to routine details of legislative activity
like the presentation of petitions, bills,
etc. The senate, however, has chung
to the ancient custom, and every pc
tition or bill presented must be offered
by the introducer in person, taken note
of by the chair and referred appropria-
tely.

HEDGER HAS n
NARROW ESCAPE

w. S. Hedger, a well-known Walla
Walla valley rancher, had a narrow
escape from a horrible death last night
while driving across the O. r. & N.
trestle which spans Mill creek in the
lower end of the city, and the fact that
he survived the accident is considered
nothing short of a miracle. The We
hicle in which Hedger was riding was
struck by an o. r. & N. engine. both
horses killed, the buggy demolished,
and the occupant thrown to the creek
bed, where he was found a short time
later in a dazed condition, but not
seriously injured. Brakeman Harry
Hacketday, who was riding on the pilot
of the engine, escaped uninjured.
Hedger owns a ranch that is 10

railroad track, towards the o. r.

the horses shoes had clipped the

feet long, is built in a wide curve. The
horses travelled to the middle of the
trestle in perfect safety but here they
both went down, their legs slipping
between the ties. Below the turbulent
waters of Mill creek were roaring. The

to leave for Wallula shortly after 10

Melcher was riding in the cab with
the engineer. AS they started across
Is miles an hour, Hacketday and the
engineer saw a dark object in the CEN
ter of the trestle. The engineer yell
ed to the conductor to give him more
room to throw on the reverse While
Hacketday, not having time to regain
the running board, first thought OF
jumping and later climbed close up
under the boiler. Both engineer ana

Former Residents
Killed in Slide

Word was received last night that
Mr.. and Mrs. Edgar Lehman, formerly
residents of this city, were killed in
the avalanche near Everett Tuesday,
when a train load of people were
dashed from the mountain side, on
which the track ran, to the canyon
below. Knowing that his brother and
sister We're on the snoW-b bound train,
Wilbur Kirkman called at this office
last night to look over the list of the
dead and injured, and was severely
shocked when he saw the names of his
brother and sister on the dead list.
Mr.. Lehman was formerly an attor-
ney of this city, while Mrs. Lehman,
although born in England was raised
in Walla Walla, and has several
brothers and sisters living here be-
sides her father, John Kirkman, at one
time member of the real estate firm
of Kirkman, Dice & Jackson. Mrs. H.
S. Jackson and Mrs. DR.. Barnett were
sisters of the deceased and all mem
bers of the family are greatly grieved
at the untimely fate met with.
Mr. and Mrs. Lehman lived at Hun
ter's Wash, but the wife had been in
| ill-health for number of months and
| for the past several weeks has been
undergoing treatment in Spokane. She
| did not improve as had been hoped
for and Tuesday, February %, her hus-
band went for her, it being their in
tentions to try a hospital in Seattle
Mrs Jackson and Wilbur Kirkmar
went to Spokane to see their sister of
last Thursday and Wilbur Kirkmar
came near accompanying the couple to
Seattle. Owing to the severe ssnow
storms the train was delayed until, or
| Wednesday, they were stalled and were
not dug out by the rotary ploys unit
Tuesday. when the snow slide hit the
train and engines and all went crash
ing down into the canyon below.
{ Relatives of Mr.. and Mrs. Lemmar
in this city feared lest the two hat
been killed and owing to the fact tina
many attempts to communicate witt
either the wife or husband proved
fruitless, they feared for the worst.
Mrs. Lehman was well known il
Walla Walla and has numerous friend:
