MARRIED LIFE HURTS TRADE Spouse, In Court, Produces fnlque Jetter from liubby. Who Tells Her Why He Can't Live With Her Life Too Confining. SEATTLE, Wash., Ja.nl 10. (Special.) Six weeks- after she had obtained a de cree of divorce In a Washington court, Iora Porter married Rube Pierce, & naloonman of Seattle, at Victoria. To day Mrs. Pierce sought separate main tenance from her husband and for her 2-year-old baby boy. After hearing the case. Judge Frater decided that he could neither give her separate maintenance nor a divorce, be cause she wedded within the six months' prohibition of the Washington statutes. Therefore, she, not being legally wedded, nothing could be done. And in the course of the suit in court, Mrs. Pierce submitted a letter written to her which appears as one of the re markable screeds in King County courts as follows: Hubby Hates Married Life. "Mrs. Pierce: Just a few reasons why I don't like married life: "1- Because I have lost all the love that I ever did have for you. "2. Because ft is too confining. "3. Because life is too short to be dodg ing and ducking one's life away. "4. Because you have lost all confi dence In me and it is right that you should have, for "T am out for whatever enjoyment I can find all the time and Intend to stay that way. "5. Because a man or woman is a fool that will live a life just to keep dark fron the world the fact that they have made a mistake. Married Life Hurts Business. Because it interferes with my tousd nes, in not being able to entertain my trade in the manner in which it is cus tomary for a man in my business to do, soich as attending lodge, going to sporting events and taking an interest in the out side world, instead of ducking home like a dog the minute I have finished work, and back the same way, or explaining why I happened to miss the first car. 7. Because I feel as though I am doing both you and myself an injustice by staying with it any longer, as I am ppoiling the lives of a tfouple of people who could otherwise be happy. 8. As you are getting older day by day, your chances to get a real, live man, with all the good qualities that you expected to find in me are growing less. Villain Is Acknowledged. "Although I am a villain, you can't help but admire my frankness in writing this letter. If you remember the falk we had a few days before we were married, you can recollect what I told you about us getting married. I said that other women looked good to me and that I had lost my love for you. You taid you were willing to take a chance on restoring my love and you did and lost. "Now, don't blame me too severely, as I told you at that time that if I didn't like it. I would say so and light out. Xo whatever you see fit and let me know. . "We didn't ask anybody if we should get married and I don't Intend to ask anybody when to stop. RUBE." FARMERS HOLDING CROPS Columbia County Growers Store Grain for Speculation. DAYTON, Wash., Jan. 10. (Spe cial.) Farmers of Columbia County, as well as Inland Empire ranches, are playing a bold speculative frame over the selling: of last year's crop, asserts H. B. Rldgley, local agent tor Corbett Bros., grain buyers. One-fourth of Co lumbia County's crop of 2.500,000 bush els is held by growers for speculative purposes and 60 per cent of the crop is being: held by buyers and shippers for the same purpose despite the fact that $1.30 Is being: offered today for barley and $1.10 for bluestem wheat. Shipping, for several months, has been practically at a standstill. Coast dealers, it is believed here, predict a drop of the market before long-, as they are not demanding- any interior grain at present prices. Two things are re sponsible for the attitude of the In land Empire farmer this year financial condition, the best ever known, and the stimulus of high prices for the last two seasons. Owing to substantial bank accounts farmers are practically masters of the situation. MORE TYPHOID REPORTED Water Analysis at Willamette Shows Absence of Colon Bacilli. OREGON CITY. Or.. Jan. 10. (Spe cial.) Tho epidemic of typhoid fever that has for the past two months prevailed in the little town of Willamette has by no means run its course, as new cases ire still being- reported, and the fact that only few deaths have resulted is due only to the vigilance of the attending physi cians. County Health Officer Norris recently analyzed the water supply of that town as well as this place and finds no germs in the samples. At present no 'explana tion can be offered as to the real causo of the spread of the fever. JACK, THE HUGGER, JAILED Roseburg Bootblack. Found Guilty of Attempt on Woman. ROSEBURO, Or., Jan. 10.

OLYMPIA, Wash.. , Jan. 10. '(Spe cial.) State warrants aggregating $24, 069, drawn against, the military fund, will not be paid until the courts so order, announced John Gk Xiewis, State Treasurer," today, " who stated further that but $10,300 of this sum really rep resents bad paper. The Treasurer says the warrants should be paid, because they are prob ably in the hands of innocent holders, but refuses to pay as a protection to I himself and bondsmen, on the advice of the Attorney-GeneraL These war rants, were issued in March, 1909, against the deficiency appropriation made by the Legislature for the mili tary department. The first warrant was drawn in favor of John Klnzie for $36.02, and is held up because of the claim that includes $12.22 illegal charge.. The other war rants, seven in number, were issued In. favor of Ortis Hamilton; one is for $803 for ammunition, another is for $9296, pay roll on which Hamilton ap pears for $28 and Klnzie for $122, illegally, according to the opinion. An other warrant for $4606 rent carries alleged illegal items in favor of Ham ilton for $640 and of Kinzie for $48. Another warrant for $204 for sundries carries items disallowed in favor of Kinzie for $24. The three remaining warrants, aggregating about $8500 .for sundries, are reputed to have been based on false vouchers of Hamilton's. i jnoiaers or xnese warrants are ex- pected to bring suit as soon as the action of the Treasurer is learned by them. It is expected that this litiga tion will determine whether or not State Auditor Clausen and his bonds men can be held liable in any way for the Hamilton shortage. SHEEPMEN FOR UNION SANITARY" BOAKD - ORGANIZED FOR MUTUAl BENEFIT. Move for Uniform Regulations for Purpose of Eradicating Dis eases Is Most Important PENDLETON, Or., Jan. 10. (Special.) With a membership of 14 states and wita Attorney Dan P. Smythe, of this1 city, as president, the Interstate Sheep Sani tary Board was formed in Ogden, Utah, January 7. The formation of this or ganization is regarded by the returning Oregon delegates to the National wool growers' convention as one of the most important features of the big meeting. The purpose of the organization is to secure a united effort on the part of all sanitary boards In the West to stamp out diseases of sheep and to facilitate interstate movements of sheep. Uniform quarantine end bounty laws will be secured and an effort will be made to secure uniform legislation affect ing the sheep interests. Every state west of the Mississippi River, with, the exception of Oklahoma, was represented at the meeting with a full delegation. Dr. A. D. Melvin, chief of the United States Bureau of Animal Industry, his assistants and the chiefs of all the West ern divisions were present and partici pated in the discussions and assisted in the formation of the organization. The question of leg and lip ulceration, which has been causing no end of trouble be tween the shippers and the bureau, was adjusted satisfactorily at this meeting. Dr. Melvin says the meeting was the best of its kind ever attended. The success of the meeting was par ticularly gratifying to President Smythe and the members of the Oregon Board of Sheep Commission for the reason that the movement which resulted in the for mation of the organization was started by the Oregon board through Its secre tary Mr. Smythe. According to Mr. Smythe, one of the best results of the meeting was the adop tion of a resolution to secure uniform quarantine-regulations. Heretofore a retaliatory spirit has ex isted and laws have been passed for" the purpose of keeping sheep of other states out entirely. Instead of for the purpose of eradicating diseases. This has worked a great hardship on shippers. In addition to the president, a vice president was elected from each of the 14 states and W. H. Philbrook, of Sho shone, Idaho, was named secretary-treasurer. Charles Cleveland, of Gresham, Is Ore gon's vice-president, while State Vet erinarian S. B. Nelson, of Washington, and State Veterinarian Charles Keane, of California, and R. Webster, of Idaho, are the vice-presidents of those states.

VANCOUVER, Wash., Jan. 10. Spe cial.)

Mrs. Johnson, Prosecuting Attorney J. P. fitapleton said today, cannot toe tried at the present session of the Superior Court, as there are cases set for every day until court adjourns January 27. As the next term of court does not come until April it was necessary that a preliminary trial be held rather than that information direct oe filed at once in the Superior against whom an Information has been filed must be tried within 60 days after the information has been filed. (But when an accused person has been bound over to the Superior Court the at torney has 30 days in which to file the information; hence if Mrs. Johnson is bound over to the Superior Court and the Information against her not filed until the end of the 30 days the trial does not have to come until after the Spring term of court opens. This is the reason why the preliminary trial is being held. SHOOTING DUE TO WOMAN? Grand Jury Hears Report That May Involve Grants Pass Victim. GRANTS PASS, Or.. Jan. 10. (Special.)

It Is intended to PRAISE FROM A SEATTLEWOMAN Dr. Williams Pink Pills Restored Her Health and Saved Her from Much Pain and Suffering. If women keep their blood supply pure and sufficient it will overcome morbid tendencies at critical times in their lives and many troubles growing out of functional disorders would be avoided. Regularity in all her habits, care of the diet and a safe tonio for the blood is all that is necessary in most cases to preserve the health in the most trying time of a woman's life. On this subject Mrs. Qustave Krueger, of No. 1585 West 49th street, Ballard Station.Seattle, Wash. , says : "I approached my fortieth year in a run-down condition from overwork. I haddizsy spells which would last for six or seven days and was nervous and unable to get much sleep. Whenever I became excited my heart would beat Tery fast and then at other times it would beat so slowly that I could not feel it. I had no appetite whatever and my stomach was weak. I was pale and run down in weight. "For five years I was in this condition and was under the care of several doc tors, both in Ballard and in England, Ark. I could not see that the doctors helped me at all. I finally started to use Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and was able to sleep better. I kept right on taking the pills and gained in weight and strength and felt better in every way. The pills cured me and I do not hesitate to recommend them. " Those who are interested in the treat ment which cored this case can obtain further information by writing for the booklet, "Plain Talks to Women," which we send free on request. Women will find in Dr. Williams' Pink Pills the tonio exactly, suited to their needs. Most of the ills from which they suffer are due to bloodlessness a condition which the pills readily correct.

UNDERTAKER TOO HASTY BODY OF AKSEXIO VICTIM IS SEIZED BY COROXER. Doctor and First Undertaker Thought No Inquest Necessary; Official Sees It Differently. VANCOUVER, Wash., Jan. 10. (Spe cial.) The body of William Costello, the rancher who died yesterday from taking an overdose of arsenic, is at the undertaking parlors of W. J. Knapp, the Coroner, though the Vancouver Un dertaking Company took charge of the body immediately after the man's death.

As trie doc tor said the man had died from -an overdose of arsenic and the man him self had. In the presence of several wit nesses, acknowledged that he took the poison, the undertaker says he thought the cause of death was sufficiently evi dent: that there was no need of a Cor oner's Inquest, and hence he took the body as directed. The Coroner, when he learned what had happened, thought that the under taker had been in too great a hurry and told him so. .The Prosecuting At torney, the Sheriff and the County Health Officer were all consulted as to what ought to be done. Dr. Black, the Health Officer, told W. H. Hamilton, manager of the Vancouver Undertaking Company, that he would give him a burial certificate, but the Prosecuting Attorney directed that the contents of the dead man's stomach be examined. The body, therefore, was turned over this morning to the Coroner. If the death is officially pronounced to have been caused by arsenic the body will then be at the disposal of relatives. There Is, however, only one known rel ative, a son, and no one knows where he is. Dr. Black will make a chemical analysis of part of the contents of the man's stomach tomorrow.
