A. L. Valentine, member of the board
of public works of Seattle, says, after
August 1st the weights and measure or

we suspect some of the corner groceries
that have been living by juggling the scales
on their customers will have to go out OF
business The local grocery trust has made
it almost impossible for the retailers to
make any money out of the business only
by robbing the customers. 1t all reminds
the writer of when the Pullman Car porter
applied to the superintendent for an IN
crease of wages which was fatty refused by
the superintendent, and when he was told 1t
meant that the porters would either get
more wages, quit the service or rob the pub
lie, he laconically remarked, "let them rob
the public, it pays better"
George F. Russell, postmaster of Seattle

Walter Miller, formerly Republican war
horse of the Fifth ward of Seattle, has de-

above, a, rate cheaper than you can get
the same work done any where else in the
city. The office is at 427 Epler block and
the telephone Is Main 3O5.
P. L. Allen, state senator, is keeping
quiet these days and his closest and best
friends are not able to figure out where he
stands in the gubernatorial contest. He
may be for Howard Taylor and he may be
for Hay and then again he may be for the
compromise candidate that King county
sooner or later will trot out.
Miles Poindexter, United States senator
from Washington, has gone on record as
opposing the reelection of Gov. Hay and
he will endeavor to pit Lee A. Johnson
against him to head him off from the job.
Poindexter is not much of politician and
the same can be said of Gov Hay.
l. M. Howell, who got good many
bumps in the last campaign, and the thing
more or less responsible for his defeat
was the Bohemian life he was accused OF
having lived, has recently become bene-
dict and he hopes that that will help his
chances of election netx year. Howell,
however, is going to have hard sleding.
w. H. Paulhamus is saving wood and
saying nothing these days. 1t was limited
last winter that he would be a guberna-
torial candidate, but the presumption is, he
will not be as he is very much tied up to
Gov. Hay and Sammy Perkins. His silence
in the state political mixup is but another
verifcation of the prediction that he will be
a candidate for United States senator to
succeed w. L. Jones. Paul is rather
wise old guy in politics, bat he is in no
sense popular mixer and the odds of him
beating Jones are against him.
Josiah Collins has complained to the
board of public works concerning an over
charge the city made for connecting up
some property he owns with the city water
system, the same being ffty-six dollars and
some cents for laying thirty-four feet Of

Frank w. Bixby, prosecuting attorney OF

AS4nce he took office in January. He found
the county on a warrant basis, and has lett
his warrants in the auditors office. When
they are paid he will also get per cent IN

 repeat that if the mayor Of a city is extrayagant and reckless in the manipulation of it's funds that fnan- cial disaster is the result and that this means depreciation of scrip, de struction of the oity's credit and gen eral incompetency and inefficiency in all of the departments of the city gov ernment.
 repeat that Mayor Jodd should be reelected because he enjoys the con fidence of the people and therefore gets their aid and support in tae pro motion of his plans for the better ment of civic conditions.
 The people Of Hot Springs should be delighted to confer the honor of a third term upon Mayor todd and still more delighted that so good man as he is willing to take the job.
 It is a hard place to i'll and alto gether a most unenviable one. A man must have tae patience of Job to list. en to the tales of woe that are con stantly poured into his ears by men dicants, and from all quarters imagin- able. The mayor is blamed for the short comings of all the departments and to a great extent for those of ey- cry individual in those departments.
 It is Mayor Jodd's purpose to i'm prove every branch of the city gov- ernment and the extent to which he will carry out this idea depends wholly upon the means at hand for the purpose.

 After paying this tribute to Lin coin. Mr. Bradley compared the south today with what it was before the war.
 "Tsut there is something even bet ter than all this,Y said the speaker in closing his address "The coming of the spanish war quickly proved to the world that the old time loyalty of the southern people was not dead.
 To-day the south is as loyal and as much devoted to the Union as any other section of the country It ID longer entertains i'll win for or preju- dice against the north.'

A COMMUNICATION.
"Taxpayer" Challenges Anyone to De
 ny His Published Statements.

Editor Sentlnel-Record:
 have had good deal to say about Mayor todd and his methods as a public official in this paper recently and challenge any man to deny the truth of a single statement.
 I repeat that he has time and time again endorsed paper upon which money was borrowed to run the city government.
 I repeat that he has run the city four years on three years revenue and saved it thirty thousand dollars.
 repeat that he is not a fanatic or an extremist in any sense of tae word, but on the contrary safe and ccnservative man without any wild or unreasonable ideas.
 repeat that If he had had at his command the revenue which has all along been available to his predeces- sors that he would have made better use of it than they have. repeat that he is not in office for what the job pays him and that he never entered politics in the hope or expectation of making any money out of it. l, therefore, repeat that he is not a grafter and that he would scornfully spurn any proposition that connected Jim with shady transaction, or with a scheme f-r acquiring money known as graft.
 repeat that he did not seek the office, but that it sought him when he first became a candidate and that he did not agree to become such until he had been urged to do so by a large number of the best and most respon. able citizens in Hot Springs.
 I repeat that nineteen -twentieths Of the professional politicians are graft CTS and that that per cent of them seek cffice for the opportunity it gives them to acquire money which is not honestly earned and for this reason ] repeat that 1t Is to Mayor Jodd's crel- it that he is not a politician.
 I repeat that the first year ae went into office that the saloon license had been collected year in advance, and that there was nothing coming in from the gambling houses. and that during that year there was practical ly no revenue coming In to the city treasury, and that tae city clerks books will show it.
 repeat that Mayor Jodd's entrance into politics has cost him thousands of dollars more than the offiee he helds has raid him and that personally he would be infinitely better off if he had turned down the request of his riends and continued to give his time and attention to the business of con. tractor.
 iereat that tho man who battles successfully against adverse circum- stances, is the man who will do to tic to.
 repeat that 1t Is dangerous at this time 10 the welfare of the city to elect new man to the office of mayor and that now, in my opinion, Mayor todd is the most acceptable man taht could be elected regardless of the attachments or abillsy of the other man. t is especially a bad time to iaake a change in the office of mayor.
 rereat that conservative estimates show that if Mayor Jodd had failed i1 his efforts to establish the city on rash basis. that 1t would he today three hundred thousand dollars in debt instead of about fifty thousand.
 regeat that Mayor Jodd is aware of he fact that the police depart ment reeds strengRhening and that ir he succeeds himself Ut the approach Ing election that he proposes to

Floor plan of Bender house, which
was IA by % feet. The store was in
one corner.
The famous Bender house stood on
the main road which crossed the cOun-
try from Fort Scott and the old Usage
Mission to Independence. 1t was twelve
miles from Thayer and five miles from
Cherryvale so that it occupied a posi-
tion close to the point where the four
counties cornered but it was in La
bette county. Along that road passed
most of the travel through the country
as 1t was part of one of the old south
western trails and had probably been
used long before territorial days. It
gave the Benders what they evidently
wanted. a chance to prey upon passers-
by who were unknown IN the imme-
date vicinity and would r pot se missed.
How long their caution had enabled
them to commit murders we never
knew but an examination Of the bodies
finally discovered made it evident that
they had not been in the country many
months when they found their first
victim Probably several months oc-
casionaliy elapsed between crimes. 1
think that the vivid impression made
upon the public by the deeds of the
Blenders was due in part to the hor-
rible composure with which the family
had continued living so long surround
ed with daily reminders OF their muir
ders.
John Attended Meetings
John took part in most of the pub
lie affairs Of the community and we
met him frequently at the meetings
held to discuss matters of local mo-
ment We were collectively interested
In suit to disprove the claim of the
railroad to the land we occupied and
he often hailed me for news of the
suits progress More than that he had
the effrontery to attend some of the
meetings we held in our effort to solve
the mystery of the disapp of
DR.. William H. York, whose life he
had probably himself helped to take.
OF Kate it was said that she had pow
ers as spiritualistic medium and on
one occasion John spoke to me about
them.
She can do anything that Christ
did he asserted. I accepted the state
ment rather humorously and said:
No. No, Johnnie, she can't do
that
Yes she can, he reiterated. and I
| let it go at that.
