ROYAL NEIGHBORS HOLD
DISTRICT CONVENTION
Members of WenatChee and Cashmere
Camps Here Wednesday, All Have
Enjoyable Time

The following account of the meet
ing Of the Royal Neighbors was handed
US yesterday.
Wednesday evening again marked
another genuine Royal Neighbor dis
trict convention. Howard camp Of
Wenatchee and Cascade camp OF Cash
mere were we'll represented.
The visiting members were met at
the train by Tumwater camp; the royal
crowd was then conducted to Fire
mans hall where a most elaborate 6
o'clock dinner was served.
Five candidates were taken in to
the Tumwater camp and one into the
Cascade camp. After the regular
meeting was adjourned the Cascade
drill team favored Howard and Tum-
water camps with a splendid fancy
drill which all enjoyed immensely.
The presence of Mrs. Sadie Merritt
district deputy Of Everett added to the
pleasure Of all the neighbors. Mrs.
Merritt organized Tumwater camp
about two years ago and she cannot
say too much in praise Of the splendid
progress which the camp has made.
Dancing was INDUCED in until again
the neighborly invitation was extended
to the happy throng to retire TO the
banquet room where another feast
awaited. The tables were decorated
with cut flowers. Indeed there can
not be too much honor given the mem
bers Of Tumwates camp for the culin-
airy skill showed in preparing and serv-
ing the many wholesome dainties OF
Wednesday evening.
Everybody went to their homes
feeling that the evening was well
spent.

SCHOOL BOARD WILL
MAKE IMPROVEMENTS
School Grounds to Be lmprOyed-Addi-
lions to Equipment and Changes
In the Teaching Corps

Speaking with one of the members
Of the school board this week we
learned hat many changes are to be
made before another school year opens,
all Of which are Intended to make the
school more eficient and the surround
ings more pleasing. For one thing,
the board contemplates improving and
beautifying the grounds, making the
school surroundings more attractive.
Trees and flowers will be planted,
walks laid out, and the interspaces
sown to grass. Many additions to the
manual training equipment will be
made as we'll as to other departments
Of the school, all with the end in view
of making the Leavenworth schools
fully up to the best in the county.
Prof. Moore, we are told, will not again
apply for the position Of superintend-
ent. He and his excellent wife have
served the Leavenworth schools long
and well, and Mr.. Moore contemplates
taking a rest for year, at least, and
put in his time developing and i'm
proving a fine ten acre orchard near
Monitor, which is this year coming
into almost full bearing. If the dis
trict is so fortunate as to get super
intendent that will devote as much
time and attention TO building up the
school as Mr.. Moore it will be for
tunate. Few changes will be made
among the teachers. The present
corps has given satisfaction, and with
few exceptions they all want to re-
main.

LIGHTING RATES ARE
REDUCED IN SPOKANE
On Condition That City Withdraw Its
Complaint Before Public Ser
vice Commission

Yesterday the Washington Water
Power Co. filed with City Commissioner
Fassett its proposed reduction in
lighting rates. Without going into
detail, which involves rates to power
users and large consumers of light, the
new rates will be s cents per kilowat
for the first 30 kilowats: 6 cents for
the next 10, and 8 cents for all in ex-
cess OF that amount. To go into effect
July /, 1914.
On July /, 1916 the rates will be
further reduced. The first 20 kilo-
watts will cost cents per kilowat. All
in excess of 20 will be 8 cents per
kilowat. This is considered quite a
victory for the city, which has agreed
to withdraw its complaint fled with the
state public ser-ice commission. The
company also considered it victory,
because the public service commission
might, and probably would, have made
the rate still lower. The light users
are satisfied because the rate has been
reduced some forty per cent.
When will the rate to Leavenworth
be reduced.

Local Meat Company Buys Cattle

Messrs. c. S. McDonough, Blakeny
and Clark representing the Inland
Meat Company and the Wenatchee
Meat Company Of this city, left last
week for Toppenish by way Of Beverly
and the Columbia River route. The
Inland Meat Company has purchased
4 carloads of fat cattle at that place
and the Wenatchee Meat Company 3
carloads, amounting in all to about $50
head.
The buyers decided it was cheaper
to drive the cattle in overland than to
ship them. It will take them two
days to make the trip to Toppenish in
the lower Yakima valley and about six
days to make the drive with the cattle.

WILL DIE AS RESULT
OF PRACTICAL JOKE
Cashmere Man Called to Bedside of Dy-
ing Brother Whose Joke Will Cost
Him His Life

Paul Kelley OF Cashmere last Thurs
day received word from Kent, Wash
ington, to come to that city at once as
his brother Earl Kelley was in dying
condition. Kelley was the victim OF
his own joke perpetrated on two Of his
best friends which will cost him his
life. The following account is from a
Seattle paper:
Thursday night he entered the home
of Charles and Fletcher Johnson to
spend the night and finding them away
extinguished the lights. When they
arrived he flashed light in their faces
for joke.
Kelley's portrayal of burglar was
only too successful. The brother be-
came alarmed and Charles quietly got
his revolver and waited for the in
truder to enter his room. Kelley heard
him moving about and chuckled to
himself. His little joke was working.
Then Johnson unable to stand the
suspense. resolutely opened his door.
A pocket hashlight blinded him. He
stepped back-and fred quickly, from
his hip.
You've killed me, Charleyl"
1t was the voice OF Charley's best
friend. And Kelley lay in crumpled
heap on the floor. The other brother
came in, and buried his face in his
hands.
Word from the Kent hospital in
dicates that Kelley will not live. He
may linger a few days. Supt. Taylor
said, but his joke will cost him his
life.
DR.. Taylor said Kelley is conscious
has been ever since the accident
and is suffering intensely. The bulle,
penetrated his abdomen.
Kelley blames nobody but himself.
''I should have known better" he re-
meats to himself. I should have
known better"

THE WAR IS ON
AMERICANS KILLED
Vera Cruz, the Principle Seaport of
Mexico ID the hands of
Americans.

War with Mexico began Tuesday
morning at 8 O'Clock, when the Amer
ican admiral in charge of the feet
landed troops on Mexican soil. That
the occupation was not peaceful may
be inferred from the fact that two days
fighting. Tuesday and Wednesday,
twelve Americans were killed and
some fifty more or less seriously wound
ed. The killed and wounded Mexi-
cans is not definitely known but is es-
timated at from $50 to 200 killed and
many wounded. Vera Cruz is the chief
seaport Of Mexico and the entrance to
the capital city. The arrival Of large
cargo Of arms and ammunition from Ger
many, on Monday which was taken
possession of by the American forces,
is responsible for the prompt opening
OF hostilities.
Mr.. O'Shaughnessy, the American
diplomatic representative in the city of
Mexico, was given his passport We'd
nesday, which is equivalent to saying
get out.
The most unpleasant phase Of the
situation, according to the latest re-
port is that Caranza, the leader Of the
constitutionalist army resents the land
ing Of United States troops on Mexi-
can soil, and asks that they be with
drawn. The president is known to
have counted on the non-intervention
OF the constitutionalist party. If the
United States has to fight both parties
the task OF subdueing Mexico is vastly
more difficult and will mean long
drawn out war.
The occupation Of Tampico, another
Mexican gulf port and the pacific ter
minal of the Tehauntepec railroad,
will probably be undertaken next.

WenatChee Fruit at Exposition

At a meeting Of the commercial
club members in Wenatchee Tuesday
it was decided to have permanent
exhibit for the Wenatchee valley in
the Horticultural building at the San
Francisco Exposition next year. The
exhibit it is estimated will cost be
tween $4,000 and $4,000. 1t was sug-
gested that tax of small amount per
box be levied on the growers to raise the
necessary amount. The idea will be
to advertise apples and not apple land.
The whole valley and Okanogan county
as far north as the British Columbia
line will be asked to join in the move

WATERVILLE LOSES TO
LOCAL CLUB 4 TO 3
Last thursdays Game a Most Exciting
COnteSt-Big Crowd Comes from
Big Bend Country

In what was quite an exciting game
of ball the local club slipped it ovel
on the Waterville aggregation last Sun
day to the tune of to 8. Not once
during the nine innings did interest
lag and it was truly a fight to the fin
ish. The game was twirler's duel all
the way through, the visitors only get
ting six safe bingles and the home
team FIVE. Paine, who started the
throwing for the locals, pitched great
game for seven innings, when he be-
gan to weaken and was relieved by
Brown, who. when he went onto the
mound, found two men on bases and
no outs. The first ball thrown by the
new pitcher carromed of the batsman's
shoulder over the grandstand, which
filed the bases with Waterville men
and things did then look gloomy. Ar
thur, however, got a grip on himself
about that time and pulled himself out
of the tightest hole in the game, not a
man reaching home. When this in
ming was over there sure was sigh OF
relief. During the remainder OF the
game no visiting player ever got any
where near the plate with tally.
The Watervillians played hard up to
the last minute, evidently hoping that
something might happen whereby they
could get over the tying run, but
Browns pitching was as much OF a
puzzle as Paine's twister's had been in
the early part Of the game, and when
hits meant runs they weren't forth
coming. Bob Smith was the batting
sensation OF the day and covered him
self with glory, getting three out oi
the FIVE hits allowed by Finley. who by
the way is some southpaw artist.
The day was cold and gloomy, but
despite this fact the grandstand and
bleachers were we'll packed and en-
thusiasm ran high. There was a
goodly number Of Waterville fans on
hand and they proved to be berry loyal
rooters.
Among the home enthusiasts every
one seemed to be well satisfied with
the work Of the Leavenworth players
and the opinion, which has changed
since several weeks ago, is that the
locals will be formidable contenders fol
the pennant before the season is over.
In the game Sunday between Cash
mere and Wenatchee, Cashmere won,
5 to D.

OFFICERS CATCH FORGER
IN VERY SHORT TIME
Man Who Passed Worthless Check al
LeayenwOrth Mercantile Co. Caught
at Wenatchee-Is Dope Fiend

James Kelly the man who last Fri
day passed a S35 forged check on The
Leavenworth Mercantile Co., was ar
rested in Wenatchee at an early hour
the following day. AS soon as Mr..
Sampson, manager Of the Mercantile
Co., saw the check he surmised it to
be forgery and Immediately started
out in search for the man who signed
his name James Kelly. AS no trace
Of him could be found. the officers
were all the more certain he was a
forger and Sheriff Kenyon was notified
by phone to be on the lookout for the
man. The authorities in that city i'm
mediately got busy, with the descrip-
ton that was given to them, and it
was only few hours later that Kelly
was picked up on the streets of We
natchee.
When arrested he was carrying
pasteboard shoe box, which when
opened at the county Jail was found to
contain dope fend's outfit. There
was S14 worth of morphine in one
package, a box OF cocaine, and another
of opium. He had hypodermic
syringe, bottle of alchohol and appar-
atus for mixing the drugs.
Immediately after being lodged in
Jail he commenced begging for the
drug and was so crazed that it was
found necessary to give him repeated
injections. He is SO addicted to the
drug habit that he is permitted to take
several shots" a day. Kelly does
not remember passing the check and
the officials believe he was dopey at
that time. He says he will plead
guilty however and he will be sentenc-
ed by Judge Grimshaw in the near
future.
Kelly is the same man who created
quite sensation in Wenatchee several
months ago by claiming he had been
robbed shortly after a so called seeres
predicted that there would be holdup
in that city within "a hours. Several
hours after the seeress had made the
statement he rushed into police head
quarters claiming he had been held up
and SIS taken from him. 1t was after
wards believed that it was frameup
between the actress and Kelly.
