A JUDICIAL TANGlE

The sensation of the campaign was
sprung at Pierre Friday when Attor-
ney T. H. Null, of Huron. appeared
before the supreme court in behalf Of
William Heeley, and asked for an
order from the court prohibiting the
secretary OF state from certifying any
judicial nominations to the county
auditors to be placed upon the ballots
this fall. The court has SET Septem-
Der 16 for the hearing OF the applica-
ton.
The papers are very carefully drawn
and refer to some early territorial
history and early statehood history in
lawmaking, and set forth in detail
reasons why the application prayed
for should be granted. From the time
the state was admitted into the union
until 1901, the judges of the various
courts in the state were elected In
what is termed odd years." and at a
time when no general election, or cleo
ton OF other officers was held. The
legislature that met that year enact
ed a law changing the dates 80 that
judges would be elected in even mum
bered years. 1t is now claimed that
the act OF 1901 Is unconstitutional be

Vermont last week failed to elect a

foreshadows the result Of the presiden.

neither Wilson. Taft or Roosevelt will

The newspapers of the country
are busily engaged these days in
the pleasant task of building a
cabinet for President-elect Will
son. The task is one of mere
guesswork, but serves the pur-
pose of filling up space and inter-
esting their readers. When the
time comes, President Wilson is
a big enough man to pick out his
own advisers, and there is no
question but what they will be
men fully competent to fill the
positions to which they are called.
According to court records the
expenses of the Bartholomew
case that is now in progress
amounts to approximately $400

EXAMINER Makes
ANNOUNCEMENT

Beginning this week, tn e
Kettle Falls Scimitar will be pub
lished in the columns of tn e
Examiner.
W. H. Brooks, the founder and
editor of the Scimitar, has NOV
ed his printing plant from Ket-
tie Falls to Spokane, where he
will operate a job printing shop
at 1906 North Monroe. He has
turned his subscription list, ad-
vertising patronage and job work
over to the Examiner.
The Kettle Falls managers of
the new Scimitar will be N. B.
Wheeler and J. M. Williams. Mr..
Wheeler has lived in Kettle Falls
% years, and for years has been
the correspondent for the Review
and P.-I. Mr.. Williams is CASH
ier Of the Kettle Falls branch of
the Bank of Colville. Both gentle
men have the interests of Kettle
Falls and the Columbia valley at
heart, and will endeaver to con-
tinue the Scimitar for the bene-
fit of that section. They will
have complete charge of the
Kettle Falls department, and will
receive advertising and job work
and make collections for their
department.
All the Scimitar correspondents
will be retained. From one to
two pages Of the Examiner will
be devoted to this department.
The Scimitar subscribers will
thus not only receive their own
news as usual, but in addition,
without extra cost, will receive
all the Examiner news, the Of
icial county news and the official
county seat news.
This combination of two news
papers, and the combination of
two subscription lists, places the
Examiner in the lead among
newspapers in northeast Wash
ington, and gives an immense ad-
vantage to advertisers, covering
as it does two distinct sections
of country. It will give the reg
ular Examiner readers a greater
field of reading, and will furnish
the Columbia valley section a
much greater field of publicity.
In addition to this, Meyers
Falls is to have a department of
its own, conducted by C. O. San
ford of that place. He will be
authorized to handle advertising,
subscription and job work for
his department, and to collect
for the same.
It will take several weeks to
get the new departments in full
running order, and to get the
added list of subscribers proper
ly adjusted. Columbia river cor
respondents may send their news
either to the Kettle Falls man.
ayers or direct to the Examiner.
Another new feature of the
Examiner will be a reduction in
the subscription price when paid
in advance. The cash-in-advance
price will be $1.0Oa a year. When
not paid in advance, the regular
price will be $3.50 a year. With
the increased subscription list,
it is the intention to gradually
place all subscriptions upon a
cash-in-advance basis, and those
who do not care to pay in ad-
vance may discontinue the paper.
The Examiner has doubled it's
floor space, having rented the
south room of the Stenger &
Thomas building formerly occu-
pied by Rich's jewelry store.
This will give us 3Ox7O, and al
low us to spread out our material
so that greater amount of work
can be accomplished. 1t also
gives the Examiner the largest
printing and publishing house in
the county. Some new equip
ment has also been added.

Alstaetten was celebrating a feast
day this week, and, according to GUS

floral dances and games in the open
with a banquet and ball at the prin-
cipal local restaurant.
At about o'clock on the day of
the celebration a pretty Swiss girl.
Mile. Regina Staebbler, aged seven
teen, was found dead in a lonely road
just outside the village. The discov-
cry was made by some peasants on
their way to the restaurant The po-
lice were informed and made an in
vestigation of the spot. They found
clutched in the victims hand small
piece of cloth which had evidently
been torn from the clothing of her as
sailant during the struggle.
The police were about to repair to
the restaurant and look among the
dancers for a man whose clnthing
might show signs of being torn when
it was suggested that a dog might De

made to smell of the torn cloth. He

But We have no warrant for his

He is in unoccupied premises I'M

Gregson. That is good enough for
the moment. When we have him by
the heels We can see if New York
can't help us to keep him. I'll take
the responsibility of arresting him
now"
Our official detectives may blunder
in the matter of intelligence, but new
er in that of courage. Gregson climbed
the stair to arrest this desperate muir
derer with the same absolutely quiet
and businesslike bearing with which
he would have assembled the official
staircase of Scotland Yard The
Pinkerton man had tried to push past
him, but Gregson had firmly elbowed
him back. London dangers were the
privilege of the London force.
The door of the left-hand fiat upon
the third landing was standing ajar.
Gregson pushed it open. Within all
was absolute silence and darkness

er steadied into a flame, we all gave
gasp of surprise On the deal

door of which was closed Gregson
flung it open and held his light full
blaze in. front of him, whilst we all
peered eagerly over his shoulders.
In the middle of the floor of the
empty room was huddled the figure of
an enormous man, his clean-snaven,
swarthy face grotesquely horrible in
it's contortion, and his head encircled
by CHASTITY crimson halo Of blood,
lying in broad wet circle upon the
drawn up, his hands thrown out in
agony, and from the center of his
broad, brown, upturned throat there
projected the white haft of a knife
driven blade-deep into his body. Giant
as he was, the man must have gone
down like pole-axed OK before that
terrific blow. Beside his right hand
a most formidable horn-handled, two
edged dagger lay upon the floor, and
near it a black kid glove.

darkness. blew the candle out. and
