MAN KILLED BY TRAIN
AT DRYDEN YESTERDAY
Was Mangled Beyond ReCOgnitiOn-COr.
Oner Unable to Establish an
Identity

An unknown man met his death at
an early hour yesterday morning when
he was ground under the wheels of a
moving freight train at Dryden, seven
miles below this city. The man was
first discovered by the train crew on
No. % the fast mail train which passed
thru this city eastbound about 8 a. m.
On account of his condition, parts of
the body being scattered along the
track for quarter Of mile, the men
refused to pick up the remains. Cor
oner May was notified shortly after the
gruesome discovery and arrived on
the scene few hours afterwards. 1t
was his opinion that the man was rid
ing on the train and in some manner
slipped and fell under the wheels.
The body was mangled beyond recog-
milton and nothing was found to estab-
fish his identity. The coroner reports
finding a number OF tattoo marks on
his legs and arms. Undertaken Kuelbs
took charge of the remains and in
tered them in the Cashmere cemetery.

MAKING A WILL.
Fs-maIities With Which It Is Well to
Be Familiar.


The manner in which a careful
attorney completes the necessary
formalities, having written the will
itself and secured the witnesses, Is
somewhat as follows: All the per-
sons-maker and witnesses-must
be in the same room and all in
sight of each other. The maker de-
clares the will to be his and writes
his signature, with all the witnesses
watching him. Then each of the
witnesses in turn signs his name,
the entire party still remaining to-
gether, While a will is usually dat
ed, this is not necessary. No regis
tration is required. The original
will is filed in a safe place, usually
by the maker among his papers, and
a copy put in another place. The
copy is not a will, but is useful in
proving the contents of the will if
the instrument should be destroyed
or altered.
Having made will and wishing
to change it, the maker has two
general courses open. He may
write another will, in which he ex-
pressly revokes the earlier one, or
pen a revocation, either of which
instruments must be signed and
witnessed as a will, or he may
take the will and by tearing it up,
burning it or drawing lines through
it, with the intention of revoking it,
cause it to lose all effect as a will.
In Iowa this act must be done in
the presence of witnesses, and in all
cases it is best to do so.
On the death Of the maker those
interested in the will usually secure
the services of an attorney in having
it probated and the estate admins
tered. Of course the person named
in the will as executor may himself
place it before the probate or SINH
lar court, but he usually finds it
simpler to have a lawyer arrange
matters. If no executor has been.
named by the maker in his will an
administrator is appointed by the
court. 1t is the duty of executor or
administrator to care for the de-
ceased's property and see that it is
distributed according to the terms
of the will under the direction of
the court. Of course the will and
proof of the makers death must
first be placed before the court and
the validity of the will established.

There was a time when high tides
on the Thames might have emptied
London, for there is on record an
instance of a general exodus from
London through fear of the over
flowing of the river. 1t was in
1924 that the astrological experts
almost all agreed in predicting that
on certain day the Thames was
going to overflow the city, and for
weeks beforehand the population
was busily engaged in moving itself
and its belongings into the country.
In fact, the only unmoved person
was Father Thames, who on the
great day quite failed to rise to the
occasion, thereby placing the proph-
cts in some danger of maltreatment
at the hands of the deceived emf
grants.-London Chronicle.

Death of Mrs. f. T. Hutchinson

Mrs. Eta Hart Hutchinson, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Hart of this city died
very suddenly Wednesday from dropsy
from which she has been a sufferer for
several months. Mr.. and Mrs. Hutch
inson came to this city from Everett
last April in the hope that the change
would be beneficial to Mrs. Hutchin-
son and for time she seemed to i'm
prove, but it proved to be only tenn
porary. Besides a father and mother
and husband, the deceased leaves two
brothers and two sisters, Lin Hart of
this city, and S. J. Hart of Everett,
and Mrs. Clinton Tubbs of Vancouver,
B. c. and Mrs. Byers of Everett. The
funeral services were held from the
Methodist church yesterday afternoon,
conducted by the Rev. Snowden, after
which the remains were laid to rest in
the local cemetery. A large number
of friends and relatives of the family
were present at the services.

The First Sunday School.

1t is often stated that Robert
Raikes was the founder of the first
Sunday school at Gloucester, Eng
land, in 1880. The fact is that the
first Sunday school was established
by Ludwig Hoecker in 174O at
Ephrata, Lancaster county, Pa.
This was forty years before the
work of Mr.. Raikes. Mr.. Hoecker's
school was for the religious instruc-
ton of the children of the neigh
borhood. Among other methods
employed he wrote Bible verses
upon cards, which the children com
mitted to memory. Later he had
the cards printed. Mr.. Hoecker
died in 1893, after long and use

The AImanach de Gotha.

There were two editions of the
Almanach de Gotha published for
the year 1903, and the first of these
which was suppressed by order of
Napoleon-is now worth consider
ably more than its weight in gold.
The suppression took place because
the editor had included a number OF
German princes deposed by the
French emperor in the section de-
voted to reigning sovereigns. From
that year until 1914 the proofs had
to be submitted to the French au-
thorities before publication. The
revised edition of 1903 contains a
curious collection of portraits. Ma
poleon figures on the frontispiece.
The subjects of the other portraits
are Murat, Nelson and Pitt. Con
corning the last two the editor
writes, Cline and death have ex-
tinguished the feelings of enmity
they once inspired"

In order to wipe all delinquent tax
claims from the books of the county
treasurer, an action has been brought
in the superior court to foreclose tax
liens on all property on which taxes
are delinquent. This includes taxes
from 1900 to 1912. About 40 own
ers of property are named as defen-
dants and there over $50 pieces oil
acreage and town lots on which fore
closure is about to be made, A large
number of mining claims appear in the
list. Several of the defendants are
persons of ample means. Evidently
some Of the land is not considered
worth the taxes. Most Of the lots are
in additions. Interest at IS per cent
has accumulated until in some cases
large amounts have accrued.

for the Panama-Pacifc Exposition has
rejected the site originally selected by
former Governor M. E. Hay and a
party OF friends, because it is too small
for the building the commission finds
necessary to erect. Thus far the man

no substitute for the site that has been
