spring season, when the sun 10 shining,

Deal gently with him, good people;
after a while he'll wake to some of the
pIeasantress Of life; his blood will run
red and forget its chill; he'll go to bed
at night with peace and good will in
his heart and rise in the tnoroing glad
that he's alive ard start ia upon the
duties of the dav with the crouch for

living in too good and too kind and iso
generous world to find continuous
fault with all mankind. Therefore,
we say it again, deal gently with him
pity him IN your hearts; speak kindly
as he passes you en- the street. He'll

A bright thought struck him. He I'M

"Whsur's your toll?"
"Begorra," said the Irishman, 'Just

LECTURE COURSE

The fourth number of the Brother
hood Lecture course will be held
Monday evening, February %, in the
Presbyterian church. The committee
has arranged for this number a very
excellent musical program, by two
well known Seattle musicians, Mr..
Max Bonner and Mr. Louis Dimond.
Something good is promised and no
one can afford to miss this number
Tickets can be had at the door. Sim
gle admission so cents.
Max Bonner, concertmaster of the
Seattle Symphony Orchestra, was
born in New York May %, 1883. His
musical talent developed early. He
began the study OF the violin when
years old, with Schradiech, profess
sor of violin in the Conservatives of
Liepsic and Moscow, and continued
his musical education in the Berlin
Conservatory, where he graduated
with highest honors and won silver
medal with his concerto for violin
and orchestra. He continued his
studies in Brussels, with the great
violinists Cesar Thomson and Ysaye,
and received the first prize in vio-
lin from the Brussels Conservatory
in 1904. His playing has been en-
Enthusiastically received at all the con-
certs he has given in Berlin, Leipsic,
Vienna and Brussels. His compost
! lions for his instrument, the violin,
are already numerous and include
two concertos for violin and orches-
ira, Variations" for violin, Fan
taisie de Concert" "Hollandish Melo-

Louis DimOnd
The brilliant pianist, teacher and
composer, has enjoyed opportunities
in the pursuance of his art accorded
to very few. A disciple of the great
pianist and pedagogue, Rafael JOS
effy, with whom he has been closely
associated for five years as pupil and
assistant, Mr.. Dimond embodies all
the essential principles of this truly
famous school, and still further ex-
tended his vast experience in Paris
and Berlin under such eminent mas
tiers - Moszkow%ak1 and Godowsky
Among his many public appe. Appearances
may be mentioned his unqualified sue
cess as soloist with the Berlin Phil
harmonic Orchestra, also in private
recitals in Berlin, Paris and other
large centers. SO

Ellensburg, Wash, Feb. Is
Louis James and company of theatre

tains by a furious snowstorm which
has ragged in the mountains thirty
miles west of Ellensburg for the past
4S hours is playing Shakespeare's
Merchant of Venice tonight in the
baggage car of one of the stalled
trains.
James completed an engagement
in the Sound cities the first of the
week and started east early last night
expecting to play in the local theatre
tonight. At midnight his train was
stalled near the Stampede tunnel and
two rotary plows and a gang of 100
shovelers are working to get him
out.
The snow is banked high above
the cars and the passengers, finding
no diversion except to stare at blank
snow walls, requested James serv-
ices.
A vote was taken and Shylock was
decided as the James role. The
baggage car was cleared of trunks
and the tales of the great Jew were
retold to an audience which cram
med the car to the doors.

STRAHORN- HAN
FORD ALLIANCE
CONTINUED from Page IL
CONTINUED from Page IL

In this right of way the engineers
have the plans for a canal with al
bottom of 100 feet in width. In many
places the cut will be go feet in depth
and at the minimum stage the canal
will carry 90 feet Of water, making
it practically good sized river. At
the end Of the eight mile canal it
will have fall of 70 feet This will
generate $4,000 horse power Of cleo
trical energy. The water then will
be diverted into another canal which
will run miles before being return
ed to the river and water in the
neighborhood of 100000 acres of
land. A portion of the electrical
power developed will be used in
pumping water onto the higher lev
els.
Locks Around Priest Rapids.
Another use for the employment
of the big canal around Priest Rap
ids will be in the transporting of
boats by a system of locks. Priest
Rapids is the greatest obstacle to the
navigation of the lower Columbia riv-
er, and the officers of the Columbia
Valley Reclamation company have in
view the elimination of this obstacle
by means of the big canal. The pur-
chase of the rights Of the Columbia
Development company by Strahorn
and the outlay of 100000 in settle
ment of the rights of this company
mean that the company desires to
save litigation that would last at
least year ana enable the company
to proceed with the work immedi-
ately. The company is sparing no
money in the settlement of the rights
of the settlers damaged by the canal.
One day this week in the court at
Ephrata Attorney Danson, represent
ing the Strahorn interests, made a
settlement with young man who
had homesteaded land along the Rap
ids for $1,000. This was considered
quite a sum for the mans rights but
this shows the desire on the part of
the company to affect speedy settle
ment that work might be started on
the greatest irrigation project in the
West.

Big Fire in Charleston.

Charleston, July 8.-Fire which
broke out at Sis o'clock this after
noon completely gutted five large
wholesale establishments on Meet
ing street, threatened the Charleston
hotel, just across the street, and
= caused a loss which is estimated to-
night at $250,000. The buildings gut
ted are the Paul E. Trouche company
the Bailey-Lebby company, T. A. Will
bur & Sons, the Marshall-Wescoat
Hardware company and two buildings
of the A. R. Thomlinson company.
The big new department store of
Louis Cohen & Co., was saved only
as the result of desperate work on
the part of the firemen.
The flames for the time threatened
to get beyond the control of the fire
men and to destroy the entire block,
which is one Of the most important OF
the city. The ticket Office of the
Southern Railway, situated next to
the Trouche building, escaped de"
struction almost by miracle.
Two firemen and one telephone
lineman were overcome by smoke,
but recovered consciousness. A heavy
rain, which set in about 1880
o'clock, helped the firemen to get
the flames under control.

Mosby, who distinguished himself in
the Confederate cause in the war of
secession as a daring guerrilla fight

President Roosevelt's administration,
was appointed a special attorney in
the department of justice, has lost his
government position. The reason has
not been made known, but it is un-
derstood old age was the chief cause
for the mismissal. Col, Mosby is 73.
years old, although his friends say he
is still energetic and active. He has
made no effort to be restored, al
though this is deemed probable and
that the attorney general may be
asked to intervene. The colonel, IL
Is stated, may now devote his time to
a book on the war of secession, IL
which he took an active and pictur-
esque part.

Posse Hunting for Negroes.

Bainbridge, Ca, July 7.-Sheriff
Emanuel and posse of deputies are
searching for three negroes, who be-
fore daybreak this morning threaten
ed to burn the home of J. Young,
manager Of a naval stores company
at Faceville this county, and killed
him. They surrounded his house,
woke him up and cursed him. They
fired a number of shots but hurt no
one in the house. Earlier in the night
a negro, Frank Jenkins, tried to shoot
Mr.. Young, who was too quick and
shot the negro, wounding him.
After the attack on Mr.. Young's
house a posse ,of white men gather
ed and surrounded house in which
three negroes we're barricaded. The
negroes charged through a rear door
and escaped in fusillade. Then
Sheriff Emanuel and his deputies ar
rived. They made through search
of the negro section but found no
trace of the rioters. The search is
still going on but everything at Face
Vile late this afternoon was quiet.

Negro Lynched in Arkansas.

Little Rock July Sam Powell,
a negro charged with robbery and
arson, was hanged by mob at Hut
ting, Ark, late last night, according
to a dispatch received here tonight.
Powell, an 1S-year-old youth, 1t
was charged, burglarized the resi-
dence of a prominent citizen Of Hut
ting of s400 and then fired the build
ing. He escaped but was captured
several days ago at Rochelle, La.
Since his return to Hutting, it is
stated, he confessed.
The rather frail prison building,
which housed Powell, was broken in
to without much effort by the mob
and the lynching followed. That the
negro had been hanged, however,
was not generally known until his
body was found to-day.

Amnities in Law.

While the magazine muckrakers
are talking about the shortcomings
of our courts in the matter of fail
ing to take judicial cognizance OF
common sense, and requiring the
State to prove that it was loaded
gun and not an empty gun with which
the prisoner shot the deceased, and
so forth, there is a case from New
York that furnishes little novelty.
A man obtained a verdict for libel
because he had been reported as pay
ing attentions to an affinity" The
appellate court reverses the verdict
because the word affinity in classic
English has no Objectionable signifi-
cation and is not of libelous nature.
The court refuses to take into account
any false meaning that may have at
tached to the word through slang or
improper usage. Nothing but the die
tionary goes in that court.
In New York, therefore, we judge
it would be safe for the police re-
porter to promulgate the informa-
ton that a man had been pinched
and moved away in the BOBBY hatch
for 60 days for having swiped a saw
buck from stranger. If it turned
out to be true the gentleman's repu-
tation would not be injured any, for
it is no disgrace to swipe or other
wise cleanse or polish sawbuck or
other article of furniture.
What the court would do in a case
where the dictionary gives two mean
ings to the same word it is not easy to
guess. Probably issue subpoena for
the publishers of the dictionary and
make them qualify as experts and
tell which one was the most classic
and perferred meaning. - Omaha

A Hard Heart.

Judge Ben B. Lindsey, of the ia
nous Denver juvenile court, said In
the course of a recent address on
charity:
TOO many of us are inclined to
think that, one misstep made, the boy
is gone for good. Too many Of us
are like the cowboy.
IAN itinerant preacher preached to
a cowboy audience on the 'Prodigal
Son. He described the foolish prodi-
gals extravaganza and dissipation; he
described his penury and his husk-
eating with the swine in the sty; he
described his return, his fathers low
ing welcome, the rejoicing, and the
preparation of the fatted calf.
"The preacher in his discourse no
ticed a cowboy staring at him very
hard. He thought he had made a con-
vert and addressing the cowboy per-
sonally, he said from the pulpit:
My dear friend, what would you
have done if you had a prodigal son
returning home like that?'
"'Me?' said the cowboy, promptly
and fiercely, I'D have shot the boy
and raised the calf detroit Free

GARMENT WORKERS STRIKE.
Fifty Thousand Walk Out in New
York City.

New York, July Fifty thou
sand garment and cloak makers, OF
whom 5000 are women, walked out
this afternoon at the call of the In
ternational Ladies Garment Work
ers' Union. which demands an eight
hour day, an increase in wages and a
guarantee that contractors shall
stand behind substitute contractors
for wage payments.
The fight thus far is purely local,
but officers of the Union said tonight
that if the employers attempted to
sublet their work in other cities,
notably Chicago, or Philadelphia and
Cleveland, the Union would call a
strike there also.
The 1,100 factories here employ
10000 hands, of which half are or
ganized. The strikers hope to draw
many of the non-union workers out
by a sympathetic appeal.

CASHIER AND MONEY MISSING.
"Gone to the Tall Timbers," Off
cial's Note Says.

Clintwood, Va, July 7.-Cash to
the amount of $4,000 and $1,000
worth of unsigned treasury certlfl-
Gates have disappeared from the
vaults of the Citizen National Bank,
of this place, and a reward of $1,000
has been offered by the officers OF
the institution for the arrest of Wal
ter C.. D. Sutherland, cashier, OF the
bank, who has not been seen here
since Saturday night.
Sutherland hired horse SATURDAY

Stratron to spend the Fourth with
relatives. When he did not appear
at the bank Tuesday morning, in
quiry by the officials developed the
fact, it is said, that the young man
had not visited Stratton. No trace
has yet been found of Sutherland or
of the horse he rode.
1t was not until late yesterday that
the bank vault, whose time lock had
been set for ninety-six hours could
be opened. Then the officials dis
covered the loss. In the vault they
found a note saying:
"Gone to the tall timbers.'
The name Of the missing cashie:
it is said, was signed to it. Suther-
land, who is "a years old, was at one
time connected with the army engin-
eer corps in the PHILIPPINE Islands.
