That Boys No Goose.

A Fulton boy wrote the follow
ing composition on "Goose:"
Goose is a low heavy set bird
composed mostly of meat and
feathers. His head sits on one
side and he sits on the other.
Goose can't sing much on ac-
count of the dampness of the
moisture. There amt nothing
between his toes but skin, and
he carries toy balloon in his
stomach to keep from sinking.
Geese have only two legs and
they are set so far back on his
running gear that they came
pretty near missing his body.
Some of the geese when they
get big are called ganders ana
have curls on them. Gamblers
don't have to sit and hatch, but
just loaf, go swimming and eat.
If | was a goose. would rather
be a gander any time. .

we have seen a letter in your
good paper from this place, please
allow us sufficient space to tell
what is happening at our village.
With the exception of a num-
Der of cases of whooping cough
the health of our town is good.
To day is the first day of our
circuit court and there is large
crowd in attendance.
N H. W. Aaron, attorney, of
Indianapolis, Ind, is here to at
tend to his legal business in our
court, having arrived on last
Thursday; he will be here until
court adjourns as he has quite a
number of cases in this court.
The docket of our court both
criminal and civil, is quite large
at this term, most all Of the
Commonwealth cases having
been continued at the June term
of court for want of time, and it
is very likely that our court will
consume the entire time allowed
us, being two weeks.
Judge j. G.. Carter has arrived
and is stopping at the Holt house,
and we find that the better we
become acquainted with the
Judge the better we like him; in
fact the Judge is giving univer-
sal satisfaction in this county,
and we feel that before his term
of office will have expired he will
have bettered the condition of
this community, from a moral
standpoint, an hundred fold.
Judge Carter certainly has the
prayers of the christian people
of our town, in his efforts to en-
force the law and better themor-
ais of our county.
j F. Montgomery, James Gar
nett and Rollin Hurt, attorneys
of your town have arrived and
are stopping at Phelps Bros, Ho-
tel. They are three gentlemen
we are always glad to see at our
bar, In fact the bar does not
seem complete without their
presence.
Hon. A. A. Huddleston, Com
monwealths Attorney, arrived
today, and is at the Holt house.
Mr.. Huddleston is a gentleman
that all except the law breakers,
are glad to see.
The price of realestate has in
creased in our town, more than
one hundred per cent during the
past five years, and it seems that
our citizens have awakened to a
realization of the fact that life is
not over yet. A number of par
ties have had their buildings
newly painted, and if number
of others would follow their ex-
ample, strangers would
hardly recognize our little town.
A. H. Holt, the enterprising
hotel man and merchant, has
been making some valuable i'm
provements and additions to his
hotel building and storehouse;
having added to the original
building some fifteen or twenty
rooms and, in fact, remoddled
his building until one would
hardly recognize it as other than
new building out and out. He
has put new front to his store

being Mary Yates, the daughter
of James Alfred a. d Mary Yates.
She was left motherless when

years later.

were both at her bedside during
her last illness. She moved to
Sherman, Texas, in 1890, and in
November 1897, she was married
to William B. Henshaw.
She had been devoted Christ
ian and member of the church
of Christ for the past twenty
years. She was at her place in
the church when her health
would permit and always con-
tributed freely to the cause of
Christ. Her life was one of self
sacrifice. She never missed an
opportunity of speaking a cheer
full work to all, Of helping the
sick and strangers and of en-
couraging her friends. Her life
was one of hardships and trials,
but she made these things minis
ter to the development of a
purer and nobler character.
When three weeks old she was
left motherless and five years
after her first marriage she was
left widow with three small
children. One Of these daugh-
ter, died soor after, and the 9TH
er two mentioned above were
reared to manhood and woman
hood. While these two children
were compelled to be separated
from their mother the greater
part of their childhood, hel
thoughts were always for them,
and the life she lived was one OF
the purest and noblest examples
children ever had set for them
by parent.
She leaves to mourn her loss

two children, Mrs. Essie French

After reading your very well
come paper with much interest
as well as pleasure, and especial
ly the letters from your many
correspondents from so many
different States and localities,
am enthused to get busy ano
give a few items from this place.
The long and serious drouth
has been broken up by the re-
cent rains, and we are assured
of a half crop of corn or more.
We have had a splendid crop
of wheat, oats, hay and potatoes
this season.
This is a very rich country.
Some of it has been producing
good corn crops for forty years
and is good for forty more. No
better blue grass country any
where. Old Missouri will re-
deem herself this fall notwith-
standing the past difficulty she
has had. She will return prac-
tically all of her Congressman
and the Legislature will return
to her old time suit again, be-
sides we expect to vote State
Wide Prohibition. This great
question has nothing to do with
politics, or politics with it. 1t
is altogether a moral question.
We hope to be successful and
save the many boys and girls by
so doing.

Mr.. Bryan said with many other
good things that a man had bet

night treasurer than the saloon
keeper his depositor. With this
statement and many others we
understand the Brewer Union re-
fused to march with other Labor
Unions. This is the way the
saloon man does business. His
object is to tear down or destroy
ali good moral influence wherev-
er they can. When | was a boy
a saloon keeper was looked on
as being of a lower or immoral

they are, but they persist in die

their immoral way. / say away
with such characters and let our

IMP ORTANT CASE
N COURT
QUESTION OF RIPARIAN RIGHTS
WASHINGTON COURTS NOW
BEING TRIED.

An important case has been heard
in Judge Grimshaw's court since
Wednesday, known as the Wenat-
hcee Orchard & Investment company
VS.. VIM. H. Thompson. Boldly &
Gill are representing the plaintiff and
Benton, Murray & Thompson are on
the defense.
The contest is over the right to
the water from the Swakane, up the
Columbia about ten miles from We
natchee, and is between the success
ors in interest to the old Jack Smith
place and VIM. H. Thompson, sue
cessor in interest to the Northern
Pacific Railway company.
The case is of unusual Importance
as it brings up some phases that
have never before been settled in
Washington courts.
The law in relation to riparian
right and the question of use of wa
ter appropriation are practically new
to the supreme court. The question
of the applicability of the Desert
Land Act of congress of March 3,
1877, involved, provides that all pat
ents issued after that date shall be
subject to all vested and accrued wa
ter rights before the issuing of the
patent.
This matter has been settled in the
Oregon courts and it is thought that
the precedent established there will
have some weight here. The ques-
ton of adverse possession to water
flowing on school land has never
been decided by the supreme court
of Washington and was never before
the supreme court but once, when it
was not settled on that issue, there
being other grounds upon which the
opinion turned.
Boldly & CHI we're xot throdg ii
with their argument this morning,
burt it is thought that the case will
be settled some time today.
There is a likelihood that it will
be carried to the supreme court.

!. N. c. A. BOOSTER
CLUB
FORMED IN THE PARLORS OF
THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
II. A. WESCOTT ELECTED
PRESIDENT.

There was an enthusiastic meeting
OF young men Wednesday night in
the parlors of the Presbyterian
The purpose of the meet
ing was to see what could be done
towards getting a Y M. c. A. for
Wenatchee. For some time there has
been considerable talk among the
young men about getting Y. M. G.
a. They have felt the need of a
place where they could meet socially
with one another and come in contact
with the leading young men of. the
city. There is no place in the city
where they can go without spending
money and to many that means
meeting on the street."
The meeting resulted in the forma-
tion of a Y. NJ C.. A. Booster club.
Officers were elected and a pledge
taken by all present to work for and
support Y. NJ C. A in Wenatchee.
The following officers were elected:
President, j. A. Wescott; vice pres
ident, J. E. Taylor; secretary, A..
Dittman About thirty young men
have already agreed to join the club
and support the movement. Mr..
Wescott has been working on this
proposition for some time and has
considerable material at hand. The
first regular meeting of the Booster
club will be held Sunday afternoon
at the Presbyterian church. The pur-
pose of the meeting is to make a
study of the Y. M. c. A. as an in
stitution and discuss ways and means
of boosting for local organization.
There are to several interesting
talks and all young men are cordially
invited to attend.
Within the course of week Boost
er clubs will probably be formed in
all the churches and the work taken
up along the same line.

statements made by him there is no

Centralia, is hustling all the time
and it is thought that he will sue

So far the captain has not gotten
all his soldiers on duty, but with the
improvement of the weather he hopes
to get the street meetings going full

time the captain and his wife are on

REFUGEESF[EE
FOR THEIR
LIVES
PARIS STREETS ARE GAZING IN
AND THE SEINE is RISING AT
THE RATE OF 1 3-4 INCHES
PER HOUR.

Paris, Jan. 28.-The boiling wa
tiers of the Seine are still rising at
noon today an inch ana a quarter
per hour. There is a steady down.
pour of rain and the temperature is
falling. The situation everywhere is
Appreciably worse than yesterday.
With thousands of homeless refu-
gees seeking safety from the flood,
and the water still rising, the condi-
tons in this city today are most ter
rifying.
In extraordinary session today the
cabinet decided to open for shelter
the Pantheon, St. Sulphice seminary
and other former church properties
which escheated to the state.
West street is in imminent dan
ger of collapse, being sustained only
by the compressed air forced into the
flooded subway beneath.
The project of police this after
noon announced that he thought II
would be possible to save the 5000
persons imprisoned in the upper
per stories of their homes at Abort
vile. Boats manned by soldiers are
removing those in danger.
The city has been divided into five
sections for military control at the
direction of the minister of war.
The water has reached the top OF
the presidential tribune at the Long
champs racecourse, and six square
miles of the Bots de Boulogne are
submerged.
Devastation has now penetrated TO
the heart of Paris. The Georgian
river and sewers underneath are lit
frally blowing up the streets while
the area of the OVERLOOKED surface
has been doubled today. Twelve OF
the Is bridges over the Seine are
closed and quays on either side from
one end of the city to the other are
either inundated or roped off as UNI
safe. The Esplanades des Invalides
ia a sheet of water. The turgid flood
has crept back almost to Jerdin du
Luxembourg on the left bank and
invaded the Place de la Concorde on
the lower Champs Elysees on the
right bank.
