There was present when the bids
were opened, G. w. Hathaway, presi-
dent of the board; G. A. Hamilton,
secretary, and C. Ferris White, archi-
tect, of Spokane, who drew the plans.
Secretary Hamilton tells reporter for
this paper that he feels much encour-
agement over the outlook for the future
Of the school. He has already receiv-
ed inquiries from different portions OF
the Wenatchee valley about when the
high school will be open to receive
scholars, indicating that the school will
attract pupils from other districts.
With such a school as the directors
have in mind to establish there is good
reason for believing that Leavenworth
will become the educational center OF
the upper portion Of the Wenatchee
valley.

A Lively Runaway.

A horse attached to an empty hav
rack about p. NJ. Wednesday made a
wild dash across Depot square from
the bridge. struck a wagon at the wa :
tering trough, and brought up in a heap
between telegraph pole and Tasker' 5
stable with scarcely any injury to per-

en- by William Johnson and was the
property of William Leonard.
The. team was coming over the Gar
diner and Randolph bridge at the time
and had just got across the Maine
central tracks, when the animal with
out any apparent reason, bolted. The
driver did his best to rein in the AMI
NAL. but he couldn't clear the hind
wheel of a wagon which was at the
watering trough, and George Taylor
and George f. Davis of Chelsea who
were in the wagon, were thrown out
but received only minor bruises, while
the axle of the carriage was bent.
The driver steered the horse in be-
tween the stable and the telephone
pole. where he went down. He was not
much more than down before the driv-
er was on his head holding him down.
The animal jumped around and
screamed as though in pain but did no
injury to himself. What
started the animal is mystery, as he
has always been a very clever animal
since Mr. Leonard owned him, and
there was nothing nearby at the time

ThaW Says He Is
Not Now Insane.

Pittsburg. Pa, Aug. 23.-An answer
was filed today by Harry * Thaw.
through his attorney. Former Gov. w.
A Stone. to the petition of his wife.
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw. in which Judge
L. l.. Davis was asked to appoint a
lunacy commission to take charge of
the income of Thaw in this state and
provide for the support of the wife.
Thaw's income is said to be $50, 900 i
year.
Thaw claims that the verdict of the
Jury in New York state was not d find
ing that he was insane and that the
decree combining him in Matteawan was
statutory entirely and not proceed
ing as To the lunacy Of Thaw. He
claims that the fact that he is still
confined in Matteawan does not jul
dicially or in any way establish his
present insanity. The answer alleges
that the petition asks the court to do
what it has no authority to do.
In the second part OF the answer
Thaw states: Your atiiant is not at
present insane. He is quite capable Of
attending to his own affairs and does
attend to his own affairs. If there Was
ever any arrangement mentally the af
fiant has entirely recovered from it,
and i now in the possession of all his
mental faculties"

At Least Three
Tariff Programs.

Washington. Aug. 23.-The Democrats
the Progressive Republicans and the
Regular Republicans will have their
own programs for tariff revision legis-
lation when Congress re-convenes in De-
cember This much was made clear to-
day. All three elements in the Senate
will be engaged in a great battle on the
general biect or revision. the most
important feature of the contemplated
work of the regular session.
The Regular Republicans do not an
ticipate much actual tariff revision at
the coming session by reason of the wide
divergence of opinion in the Senate.
They contend that failure is likely to
follow attempts to bring together either
the Regular and Progressive Republi-
cans. or the latter and the Democrats.
Senator Martin of Virginia, Democratic
leader of the Senate, declared today
however that if the President recon-
mendations in connection with the re-
port of the Tariff Board should be for
large reductions and many of the Reg
ular stand-pat Republicans failed to sup
port the recommendations the situation
would tend to line up the Democrats and
Republican Insurgents
The Regular Republicans have ex-
pressed the fear that the Tariff Boards
recommendations may be too radical for
their acceptance They contend that
most of the measures resulting from
Progressive Republican, Democratic alli-
ance are likely to fail in conference on
the ground that the Democrats desire
to fight the next national campaign on
the Payne-Aldrieh tariff law. The Reg
ulars also depend on the Presidents veto
to put a quietus on any measure that
would be satisfactory to Democrats and
i Insurgents.
