ABERDEEN AFTER WATER Supply in AVynoochie Rive Will Be Analyzed During Year. ABERDEEN, Wash., Jan. 11. (Special.) The United States Government, through the survey officials at Seattle, has made the City of Aberdeen an offer to examine during the coming 12 months the water of the ynoochla River, with the idea of Its ultimate use as a source of m-uniclpal water supply. The only cost to this city will be the payment of about $10 monthly to some rancher to take necessary sam ples of the water at certain intervals for shipment to Seattle. If the offer is accepted, the test will be made above the residence of the far thest settler, so that there will be no contamination of any kind. The tests would prove for one thing how much alkali, if . any, there Is in the water, and avoid the trouble Spokane is up against. During a recent trip to the Canyon of the Wynoochie, City Engineer Ewart found a vast volume of apparently pure crystal water flowing through the great division of rock, and says there is an in exhaustible source of supply. Altogether; if the water test proves favorable, this undoubtedly will be the source which Aberdeen will eventually rely upon for its water supply. Mrs. Dunbar Famous in Klickitat.

The special committee has not been named, and the purpose is to give the electrical workers full rights in the con vention. Woman Decides for Smokers.

QUART OF GOLD SPILLED Bank Messenger's Mishap Gives Crowd Visions of Wealth. RICHMOND, Va., Jan. 9 A messenger from the First National bank spilled a quart of gold on the sidewalk in front of the bank, the sight of which nearly caused a riot among the pedestrians, who rushed in from all directions, endeavor ing to get rich quickly. Most of the money, however, was re covered, along with a quantity of dirt, which the anxious messenger scooped up with the gold and returned to the bag. The young man was taking the gold across the street when the bag ripped, and, before he knew what had happened, Uie street was yellow with money. Big, shining double eagles seemed en dowed with life as they stood up on edge and rolled away, crowding over each other and seeking out incredibly email cracks between the paving stones in which to hide themselves. With a heavy bag of gold ln one hand and a half empty bag in the other and a quart of gold rolling merrily along the sidewalk, the messenger was nearly paralyzed.

An UnsolvaUe Problem, "Which Has Puzzled Physicians of All Schools. A Trial Package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Sent Free. There seems to be no logical reason why the stomach should not digest it self when we consider the fact that it secretes digestive fluids and acids which are powerful enough to disintegrate and digest meats, eggs, fruits, cereals, vege tables and, other forms of food taken into it. In animals which were killed while in full digestion the stomach has un dergone complete self-dlgestlon after death, when the body was kept warm; and in human beings who have died sud denly, while digestion was going on, it was found at the autopsy that not only had the stomach been digested, but also the liver, pancreas, spleen, and portions of the intestines. ..X1?0 questlon naturally presents itself.

SPORT QUERY IS PUZZLE If Two Fighters Get Simultaneously Floored, What Is decision? NEW YORK, Jan. 9. Over in England the sporting fraternity is very much agi tated over a question which threatens to become as famous as the celebrated query regarding the age of a woman. named Ann. And it all comes from a thing which did not happen and which. n the nature of things, is never very likely to happen. It appears that two husky young fellows were boxing in one of the many small counties in King Ed- warn s iana. jNeitner or them knew much about the manly art. and they were depending solely on their hitting powers. Both were high-hand swingers, and in one of the rounds after they had gotten warmed up a bit they rushed at each other, and each swinging his right, land ed on the jaw of the other, and both dropped unconscious to the mat. The referee started to count, and one of the men struggled to his feet at the count of eight and was up at the count of ten. The other man did not get up for a few seconds later. Then it occurred to some follower of the sport. "What would the referee have done had neither of the men been able to arise when the count of ten had been made?" He could not answer this question to his own sat isfaction, and, after having several argu ments over the matter with his crorries he decided to do the usual thing in Eng land, write to the papers about it. He addressed a letter to the sporting paper which he favored, and in attempt ing to answer the question the innocent boxing authority started a controversy which has spread all through the sport ing fraternity over there, for they are great folks for following an argument to the- bitter end, and every sporting writer and the editor of every paper which carries a sporting column has since been flooded with letters bearing on the sub ject, and the question, is as far from be ing settled now as it was when it was first suggested. Every Englishman be lieves he has a right to question the editor of his paper, and it is possible the English sporting writers may be haunted by this query for years to come.

Prescriptions Called MONKEY RINGS ALARM FI REHOUSE PET SENDS FIRE MEN DOWX POLES TO RESCUE. Bell Set a-CIanging When Company's Home Is in Peril Prom Burning Paper. NEW YORK. Jan. 9. The frantic ring ing of the bell on the spare fire engine stored in the back part of the house of Hook and Ladder Company No. 22, sent the members of that company sliding down the poles to the ground floor. The firemen were tired. They had just returned from a three-alarm lire at One Hundred and Twenty-ninth street and Third avenue and were in no mood for a practical joke. Such they believed the ringing of the bell to be. When they reached the spare engine strong expressions of wrathful indignation burst from their lips, for perched on the smoke stack was Miss Jennie Muir, the hook and ladder company's monkey mascot, with the bell rope in her hands pulling away as hard as she could. Although the angry firemen hurled wet sponges .t Jennie she refused to stop ringing the bell until nearly the whole company was gathered around the en gine. Then, as one of the firemen started to dim) up to get her, she leaped to the floor, and running with shriil screeches to the back of the building jumped and caught with hands and feet the wire netting over the glass in the rear door, and shook it until lock and hinges rat tled. Curious to find out what made the monkey act in such an unusual way, the firemen looked out and saw the cause of the disturbance.
