TWO LEAVFNWORTHIANS GONE
Mrs. D. A. Burgetl and Luther A. Goats,
Both Young, Called Across the
Mysterious River

The death of Mrs. D. A. Burgett
caused much sorrow in Leavenworth
and vicinity. Her traits of character,
so beautiful and lovable, endeared her
to every one who had the good for
ture to know her. There seemed to be
so much good in store for her, so much
happiness for herself, her babies, her
husband, her mother, her friends, it is
hard to understand why her life should
be taken. All may be explained some
time. Now, the best way is to have
faith in a coming reunion with dear
ones where there will be no more part
ing, tears and pain.
The funeral was held in the Congre-
gational church Sunday, February II,
conducted by Rev. w. V. Davis, and
attended by as many as could enter
the church, Notwithstanding the furious
snowstorm. The funeral sermon was
based on Ezekiel 24:16. Ten young
ladies dressed in white, belonging to
the Sunday school class of which Mrs.
Burgett was also a member, composed
a flower band and carried large num-
Der of cut flowers and set pieces.
The Leavenworth Masons, of which
Mr.. Burgett is member, in body
attended the obsequies and occupied
seats in the main part of the auditorium.
The following is brief biography of
Mrs. Burgett, furnished by Rev. Mr..
Davis: LYDIA Mae Brown Burgett was
born in Metropolis, ILL.,, September 81,
1889, and departed this life February
9, 1911, aged 81 years a months 1S
days. She was married to D. A. Bur-
gett March 80, 1909. To this union
was born two children-one Howard,
the other as yet unnamed.
Mrs. Burgett was the only child of
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph G. Brown. She
was converted under the labors Of Rev.
J. c. Fowler, of the United Brethren
church, when but years Of age, and
lived in the faith until called from labor
to reward. She leaves mother, hus-
band, two young children and large
circle of friends to mourn her early
passing away.
Interment was in the Leavenworth
cemetery.

Seattle's Recall Election

Seattle voted in the affirmative on the
recall of Mayor Gill;. This is the second
time an American municipality has dis
charged its chief executive, Los Angeles
being the first. Seattle did the job de-
cisively, giving George w. Dilling, the
recall victor, plurality of 6214. The
total vote cast was 62,314, or 81 per
cent of the registration. 1t was the first
time the newly enfranchised women
voted since territorial days, and they
turned out in force. Mr.. Dilling's sue
cess is generally credited to the liberal
support the women gave him, as $4,000
of them were registered. The showing
made by the Socialist candidate, DR.. E.
J. Brown, who polled 1890 votes, is one
OF the biggest surprises Of the election.
This is eleven times the strength that
party showed in the last municipal elec-
ton. Mr.. Dilling's first action was to
reorganize the police department, con-
cerning which there has been wide.
spread dissatisfaction under the Gil
administration. For several years pas
Seattle has suffered from continued po'
litical strife. Mayor Dilling announce:
his intention to smooth this over.

Taken Up on Charge of Robbery

Last Saturday Marshal Fitz arrested
a man who gave the name of Smith, on
the charge OF a Tye hotel keeper. On
Sunday Mrs. Ballet came down and
complained that Smith had stolen from
her house goods and cash to the amount
of several hundred dollars, but would
not make a complaint against him.
Smith admitted taking considerable
money and lot of goods, and gave up
twenty-odd dollars; the balance he said
had been spent. Before departing Mrs.
Ballet gave Smith enough money to
take him to Spokane, after which the
marshal turned him loose. This is
making a mockery of law. Anyone
who invokes the aid of the criminal
law to obtain the return of stolen prop
eryty on condition that the thief will
not be prosecused himself becomes, in
contemplation of law, particeps criminis.

Colonist Rates to the Northwest

Colonist rates with the usual SIS fare
from Missouri river points to the North
west are again offered by the railroads
for the coming spring. 1t has just been
decided by the various lines reaching
the Coast to put the low one-way rate
in effect March 10 and continue it till
April 10.
Many who intend coming west will
avail themselves of this rate, and thou
sands of settlers may be expected to
arrive between the above dates. People
of the Northwest should call attention
of their Eastern friends to the rates,
adding in this way to the interest in
Washington and increasing the move
ment of population in this direction.
Rates from Middle West and Eastern
points will be the same on all lines and
are as follows: Chicago $33, St. Louis
$32, Baltimore $4S.25, New York City
$50, Buffalo $42.50, Cincinnati $500
Detroit $38, Milwaukee $3.50, Phila.
delphia and Washington $49.75.

Champ Clark Must Drive Mules

It's up to Champ Clark either to
drive pair OF mules down Pennsylvania
avenue, Washington, D. c., when he
is elected speaker Of the house, or
back water" Clark agreed to do the
stunt if chosen speaker, provided Col.
Luke Emerson OF Pike county, Mis-
souri, would furnish the mules. Emer-
son already has started grooming the
mules for the occasion.
Il have had the mules on extra
feed," said Col. Emerson last week,
lever since the last congress turned us
Republicans down. They are trimmed
to the queens taste, and are the finest
looking pair in America. Clark will
undoubtedly succeed Cannon, and III
have the mules in Washington in time
for him to make good"

st. Valentines Day

St. Valentines day was observed with
the pretty custom of Valentine Box
in every room of the public school; ex-
cept the high school, the members OF
which are supposed to be too old for
childish love tokens. Some of the val
entine boxes were nicely decorated,
while others were plain. All were pro-
vided with an opening for the introduc-
ton OF the pretty love messages. A
postmistress or postmaster was duly
appointed, and the missives were de-
livered to the happy children-not one
being missed.
The ceremony was productive OF
much amusement, some instruction,
little experience, and no harm.

Income lax Looks Like Winner

AS legislatures in various states as.
semble, the adoption of the sixteenth
amendment to the constitution Of the
United States, providing for an income
tax, grows more in favor. Ratification
by two-thirds of the states is required;
therefore sixteen states ignoring or re-
jecting the amendment will defeat it.
So far ten states have ratified the amend
ment and four have voted against it.
Of the latter three are Eastern states
and one in the South; but New York,
one of the opposing commonwealth,
may reconsider the action taken and
vote favorably.
Greatest opposition to the amend
ment comes from the Eastern and New
England states, where incomes are
more numerous and larger than in any
other part Of the country. The owners
Of incomes naturally oppose any law
that will take money from their pockets,
although it is not disputed the tax on
incomes is the fairest method of sup
plying funds for the government.
In the Northern states Of the West
the majorities in favor Of an income
tax have been decisive. The Illinois
senate ratified the amendment unani-
mously, and the house concurred with
only 8 dissenting votes. In Ohio the
house indorsed the favorable action Of
the senate by vote of 100 to 8. Ore
gon exhibited similar strength in sup
port of the measure. The Arkansas
legislature voted solidly for the amend
ment with but 8 votes against it.
Alabama, South Carolina, Kentucky,
Maryland, Mississippi and Oklahoma
showed similar results, with varying
votes. Michigan, Kansas and Wiscon-
sin, which will soon consider the ques-
ton, are strongly in favor of the in
come tax. New Hampshire is expected
to take similar action, the house already
having considered the matter favorably
and the senate is likely to approve the
result. Seattle Times.

By resolution the Seattle Chamber of
Commerce has gone on record as see
ing no reason for removing the capital
from Olympia. All sides of the ques-
ton were considered before the action
was taken. 1t is held the states finan-
ces are not in such shape as to warrant
consideration of the matter. Farther
more it would be a violation Of the
economy program to abandon the re-
suits of the $800,000 already spent for
capital purposes in Olympia. Owing
to the cramped condition of the state
officials in their present housing, there
is a growing belief in the state provi-
sions should be made toward the erec-
ton of a permanent capitol on the
foundations already constructed. If the
Flagg plans do not provide sufficient
accommodations, it is urged the COM
mission in charge Of the matter should
arrange to have them revised. Imme,
diate action on this point is desirable
as to put it off until the next session O.
the Legislature will result only in delays
More room is the crying need of all the
state officers. Consequently, pressure
is being brought to bear on the capito
commission to stir it to action.

Died in Wenatchee Hospital

Luther Austin Goats, of this place,
died in the Wenatchee general hospital
last Sunday evening at $3.50 o'clock OF
septicemia. He had been afflicted
with tuberculosis of the bone, resulting
from an injury to his foot, for a long
time, and was taken to Wenatchee
some ten days ago. 1t was found nee
essa1y to amputate his left foot, but on
account of his weakened condition he
succumbed to the operation. He
came to Leavenworth three years ago
from independence, Oregon, where his
parents resided then but have since
moved to this place. Besides his father
and mother, Luther Austin Coats, who
was 24 years old, leaves three sisters
and three brothers.
Funeral services were held at the
Methodist church, Rev. Weigle Off
ciating. The services at the grave
were conducted by the Modern Wood
men, of which order deceased was a
member. w. H. Hamilton & Son had
charge OF the funeral arrangements.
Luther A. Goats was an exemplary
young man with a promising future,
loved and respected by all who knew
him. To the bereaved relatives we
extend sincere sympathy.

$50, 900 for the purpose. If the house
