ready for instant USE The last time
the chemical was pulled out at an
alarm # was in no shape for use.
Saturday evening large crowd of
girls and boys old and young, made
up a skating party on OsOyoOs lake.
The lake is not entirely frozen over,
but ice has formed along the shore,
extending some distance out into the
lake. Considering that there has been
little or no freezing weather, it would
to considerable degree into the
sport, unless those indulging have the
wisdom to keep near shore
'rhe new town administration went
into power Tuesday evening Quite a
number of citizens were present, and
there would have been a great many
more had the weather not been so Sc
we're as to take the edge off curiosity.
Barring little confusion in the mat
ter of trying to ring in report as a
bill payable, the result of inexperi-
ence in office, the session passed off
very creditably. When the boys get
the run of municipal affairs everything
will work smoothly.
When No. 255, the east bound pas
senger train Tuesday morning reached
the short tunnel just east of town,
where the lift over the hill commences,
the air brakes went lame. The engine
of the Keremeos train went to the res
cue and pulled the stalled passenger
back to the round house where Tom
Collier repaired damages in a jiffy In
consequence of the mishap, both east
and west bound trains did not get fair
ly started on their journeys until
about 10 o'clock. which would keep
them behind time all day.
DR.. and Mrs. A. M. Polk were regis
tered in Oroville Wednesday, on their
way to the doctors home in COncOnul-
ly. Some weeks ago the doctor passed
through OrOville on his way to attend
a family reunion at his old home in
the east. Evidently that was not his
only mission, for when he left he was
a single man. Knowing none of the
particulars, all that can be said is that
just got married because he wanted
to. and the other party to the contract
was willing. May it be happy VEN
ture is the wish of his old friends.
Don Cupid has been busy over at
Loomis of late and there has been an
epidemic of the doubling up process.
An unknown correspondent, writing
to the editor, says: Whats the mat
ter with LOOMS? Our boys have been
out giving the tin can serenade six
times in less than four weeks, and all
the happy couples are making their
homes in Loomis. Empty coal oil cans
are at a premium. Can you beat that
anywhere in Okanogan county, We
think not. LOOMS for the matrimon-
ial prize.
The appointment of w. H. Weisger-
Der as marshal and a worthy and
| mighty good man by the way, ran
against snag Tuesday night. 1t is
evidently that the powers that be are
after the scalp of J. J. Myers who has
| held the Office for a number of months.
Whoever secures the star star will
have to go some to keep up the record
made by Mr.. Myers since he has been
in office. 1t is a position in which any
man who performs his duty makes
enemies, but no one can justly say that
in his official capacity Mr.. Myers has

We have heard a great deal about
vote buying in Adams county, Ohio;
Vermilion county, ILL.,, and Atlantic
county, N. J. But how about vote
buying nearer home?
There is no parallel whatever in the
cases. A judge in Virginia merely says
he has reason to believe, votes were
bought in his county last fall. 1t was
proven that this traffic was carried on
10 the states mentioned above. The
Herald further says: Virginia can
not afford To have this stain upon her
escutcheon," There is no voting IN
the District of Columbia at present, and
former suffragans are now wearing
white roses OF innocence. Shortly after
the civil war, when the inhabitants OF
the district, selected their own officers
by ballot, hundreds of negroes from
Maryland and Virginia were brought
to Washington and made to vote.
Their expenses" were paid by some
body.

THE ANTI MACHINE GUN.

THERE was another faint flash from
what is known as the anti-machine'
gun at Fairfax Courthouse last Satur-
day night. Congressman W. A. Jones
was at the lanyard. The flash was
akin to other failures of the piece and
the report did not startle or attract
general attention in the neighborhood.
It was the same old song-the con-
gresham, who is aspiring to Mr..
Martins position, saying that the
senior senator and few of his friends
practically control all the Offices in
Virginia. Mr.. Martin was, Of course,
characterized as politicalboss. Mr..
Jones and his friends have been labor
ing assiduously to move the slight dis
turbance which had its origin in the
Norfolk neighborhood to other sections
Of the state. The force Of the furry is
however, diminishing at its centre and
all attempts to make it spread over an
area have proven impotent.

STABBED BY AN ITALIAN.

Louis England was possibly fatally
stabbed Yesterday while shielding
Miss Margaret Amer, leader in
Washington, Pa, society, from the
murderous attack of an infatuated
youth. England received in his body
the stiletto evidently intended for the
young woman, who barely knew the
youth by sight The stabbing occurred
on one OF the principal streets of the
town and caused much excitement and
indignation.
While Miss Arner was being assisted
to her home by friends AMI her bleed
ing and scmiconscious defender was
being hurried to a hospital, Chief OF
Police w. J. Dulaney. with a squad OF
policemen, arrested Frank Canetti.
20 years old, as the young Italian was
jumping into bed at his home.
Under the porch Of the house was
found the knife with the fresh blood
stains upon it.
Canetti at first was voluble in his de-
mails, but when closely questioned
lapsed into stony silence. which he
has since refused to break. Heis be-
ing held pending the outcome of Eng
lands injuries.
England was standing on the street
corner talking to Miss Arner, when
suddenly an Italian, his soft hat pulled
down over his eyes, spran g at the pair,
and with cry of Il have you now!''
plunged at the girl with the knife.
England threw himself between the
girl and the rapidly descending blade.
As the girl jumped back with cry
OF alarm, the knife sank into Eng
lands abdomen, inficting frightful
injury. The maddened Italian struck
England two more blows, iniicting
wounds on one shoulder and across the
face. The assailant then fled. England
sank to the pavement and the GIRLS
screams quickly brought aid.
