a HE movement put on foot by "V.
I T. Shanahan for furnishing tlic city
with a suitable number of drink
ing fountains through private donations is
meeting: with deserved and unqualified
success, and without any personal solicita
tion' on the part of the promoter of this
humanitarian object ten fountains have
been pledged by volunteers. Those who
have already selected are Edward Hol
man, Mrs. George Langford, Mrs. X.. Y.
Tailing, Eilers Piano House and Dr. Louis
Buck. The others who have offered to
donate the much-needed fountains are
not named as they have not yet selected
designs. In a few days Mr. Shanahan
will begin a canvass In the Interests of
the movement, hoping to secure at least
iO fountains for the West Side alone.
"Surely there Is no better way to orna
ment the city and perpetuate one's good
name than by giving something which
will benefit both man and beast," said
Mr. Shanahan, In discussing the matter
yesterday.
"Monuments and ornamental fountains
are artistic and beautiful, but why not
present them In a useful form? At pres
ent there are only three drinking foun
tains between the City Park and the river
where horses can be watered, a condition
which is cruel to these beasts of burden.
Kven the small drinking fountains for
people are lacking In public places.
"I have a collection of beautiful designs
which range in price from J40 or $50 to
J2000, and I consider that there is no bet
ter way to add to the city's beauty and
fair name than giving one of these foun
tains. I am hoping that some day some
one may come forward with an offer to
purchase one of the large, handsome ones.
1 can think of a number of hne locations
for such a drinking fountain, the one 1
have particularly In mind being the tri
angle down near the Commonwealth
building. There Is much heavy teaming .
and drayage going on in that section of
the city at all times, but unless the driv
ers take the time to go over to First and
Vine streets the poor horses have to go
without drinking water.
A number of designs from Mr. Shana

FEAR COUNTY SEAT
tHEHALIS REPUBLICANS SLOW TO
SEEK OFFICE.
Divided Over Removal of Seat of Gov
ernment to Lower Harbor Dem
ocrats Doing Nothings
MONTESANO, Wash., Aug. 11. By
order of F. R. Archer, chairman of the
Ecpublican County Central Committee
of Chchalis County, the secretary, E. S.
Avey, of Elma, has issued a call for
a meetingr of the committee at Aber
deen Wednesday, August 13, for the
. purpose of fixing the date of the cau
cuses, primaries and county conven
tion and for making the usual appor
tionment of delegates from the various
precincts.
Up to date there has not been any
wild scramble for any of the county of
fices by the Republicans, although a
nomination on that ticket this year
will be equivalent to an election.
There are plenty of good men In the
Republican party in Chchalis County
who would like to announce themselves
us candidates before the convention,
but the question of the removal of the
county seat from Montesano to salt
water at Aberdeen and Hoquiam is stir
ring up so much factional opposition
that none of them care to openly place
themselves on record, preferring to
take their chances on the floor of the
c6nvention.
On this question of county seat re
moval Montesano and the precincts in
the eastern part of the county will
vote as a unit for the candidates who
will pledge themselves in favor of its
retention here at Montesano, and it is
this solid delegation that the various
candidates are either trying to secure
or to overcome.
Owing to the overwhelming Repub
lican sentiment now existing in Cheha
lis County, the Democratic party will
not hold Its usual caucus, primaries
or county convention this year. Colonel
J. J. Carney, editor of the Aberdeen
Herald, who is the acknowledged lead
er of the Democratic party, as it now

Chinaman's Sock His

Street In Everybody's Sight and
Then Puts Coins In Circulation.
A CHINAMAN, in full Oriental garb,
passed leisurely down Fifth street
toward the Postofflce yesterday, wearing
the characteristic stoical smile of his race
and carrying in his hand a parcel ad
dressed in quaint Chinese characters and
likewise in a sprawling English hand, but
devoid of stamps. When he reached the
stone fence between Taylor and Salmon
streets he paused, leaned against the
fence and leisurely lifted one foot from
the pavement, leaving the loose-fitting
wooden-soled shoe upon the walk. From
this foot he slowlylwithdrew the sock and
patiently shook from its folds divers small
coins of the realm, replaced It on his
foot, adjusted the quaint shoe and pro
ceeded toward Uncle Sam's building,
wearing a self-satlsfled smile. Several
people noticed the actions of the Cales
tial and their smiles attested that they
had observed the lesson in economy and
that the pocketbook industry might suf
fer a slump In the market as a result.

ta iTE IS FICTITIOUS
G. D. PETERS MAKES COMPLAINT
AGAINST W. H. TAFT.
Declares He Was Swindled, and Taft
Is Arrested on Order of
Judge Gantenbeln.
Charged with obtaining money on a
fictitious note, W. H. Taft, head of the
realty firm of W. H. Taft & Co.. was
arrested yesterday on complaint of
George D. Peters. The order for arrest
was issued by Judge Gantenbein In
compliance with an affidavit filed in
the Statue Circuit Court by Peters,
charging the real .estate broker with
obtaining money upon a fraudulent
note.

from Peters on several occasions and in
part payment gave him a note signed
by J. E. Thurston. Peters filed suit to
collect the note, and in response re
ceived the information, that Thurston
could not be found. He rms now
brought proceedings on the ground
that Taft knew at the time the note
was given that no such person as
Thurston existed, although Taft as
sured Peters that the note was gpod.
The note, which amounts to $250, was
given August 15.
After being taken Into custody. Taft
was released upon depositing $500 cash
bail. Peters Is represented in the case
by Max G. Cohen. '

DYNAMITE IN CALDWELL
Explosive Supposed to Have Been
Cached by Assassins Found.
CALDWELL, Idaho. Aug. 11. (Special.)
A sensation was created here last eve
ning when G. H. Fuller, the town Mar
shal, discovered two sticks of dynamite,
a box of dynamite caps and a lot of fuse
in a boxy at the rear of Porter & Stone's
drugstore and John Steunenberg & Co.'s
shoe shop. The box containing the ex
plosive was labeled Cambridge, Idaho, and
had evidently been exposed to the ele
ments for many months.
It is thought here that the explosives
were deposited in the rear of the Steunen
berg place about the time of the assassi
nation of the late Governor Steunenberg,
and were overlooked when the premises
were searched after the murder.

SWEETHEART TRl'B TO MAN OF
CHOICE DESPITE CRIME.
Pardoned by Governor Hlgglna After
Being Sentenced to Life Imprison
ment for Manslaughter.
ROME, N. T., Aug. 11. (Special.)
A romance begun in the state prison
at Dannemora, N. Y., had its culmina
tion at a small village several miles
from here, when John Watson Hildreth,
of New York City, son of Lawyer J.
H. Hildreth, was married to Miss
Agnes C. Ryding, daughter of William
E. Ryding, of Syracuse. The fact that
the wedding .had taken place became
public by the filing of the marriage
certificate here today.
"Young Hildreth, with Theodore Hub
bard, Herbert Plate and Fred Bristol,
as a result of much reading of "yellow
literature," in November, 1895, decided
that they would emulate the example
of notorious train robbers and hold
up a train. They went down along
the line of the New York Central &
Hudson River Railway one morning
Just after daylight and planned to
hold up the fast Western train. In
order to stop the train they removed
a rail from the track and when the
train came along running 70 miles an
hour the entire train went into the
ditch. The engineer was killed and a
dozen mail clerks seriously injured.
The boys fled, but were caught and
all were convicted of manslaughter
and sentenced to imprisonment for life,
with the exception of Plate, who died
in Jail. Bristol later died In prison,
but Hildreth and Hubbard were par
doned less than a year ago. Hildreth
had met Miss Ryding before his arrest
and an attachment sprang up, and dur
ing his incarceration a correspondence
was kept up. It was due. to the efforts
of Miss Ryding that Governor Higgins
consented to pardon the two youths.
The couple are now in the Middle West
on a wedding tour. They will reside

ST. PAUL WINS THE FIGHT
Experts Say Line Will Not Contami
nate Seattle Water Supply.
SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 11. (Spe
cial.) Professor A. C. Abbott, Profes
sor William T. Sedgwick, and Dr.
Charles Harrington, the three sanitary
experts employed by the city to inves
tigate the Cedar River watershed and
report upon the danger of pollution
from the construction and operation of
the Chicago. Milwaukee and St. Paul
Railroad through the valley, reported
today In favor of the railroad. Neither
the construction nor the operation of
the railroad, they say, offers any dan
ger to the water supply.
Two changes In the ordinance au
thorizing the building of the line are
suggested by the sanitary experts.
The ordinance prohibits the establish
ment of any stations along Cedar River
unless authorized by the city. The ex
perts declare no stations should be es
tablished and recommend employment
of a sanitary engineer to superintend
construction camps.
The St. Paul can agree to fulfill both
conditions and this will end a bitter
warfare waged by the King County
Medical Society against the railroads
paralleling Cedar River, from which
comes the city water supply. Dr.
Parke Willis, the Northern Pacific's
local physician, was the most active,
doctor In the fight, and there has been
a general belief that the attack was
inspired by the Hill roads to delay the
St. Paul.
Bass With Rabies Swims Amuck.
North American.
Henry Allen, of Clay, Pa., who is an
observing man, declares the story of the
fish that died of hydrophobia In No. 2
ore bank pond to be true. He witnessed
the dying spasms of the big bass.
According to Henry, the bass had con
tracted hydrophobia 'from the carcass of
a dog which had died of the rabies and
been thrown Into the pond About two
weeks later persons living near No. 2
pond noticed the peculiar an tics of the
huge fish.
In the deep clear water it could be
seen pursuing pickerel and perch, snap
ping at them viciously, while from the
Jaws flocks of white froth exuded.
During Its most violent paroxysms this
bass carried Its tall between its pectoral
fins Four old women attending a tem
peranee picnic near by saw it distinctly.
They also say that while the fish did
not bark, it growled some.
Finally it took an antipathy to water,
and Henry, who sat on the bank for two
hours watching the poor thing die, avers
that it leaped two feet in the air to es
cape the water.

And tired eyes need Murine Eye Tonic.
JAMES KYLE, a fruit and produce
man staying at the Imperial Hotel,
and H. U. Welch, Deputy County Asses
sor and Captain of the First Battery, O.
N. G., look so much alike that they are
always getting each other into trouble.
Mr. Kyle has never seen Mr. Welch; Mr.
Welch has never seen Mr. Kyle. But
each hears the name of the other a dozen
times every day he Is on the streets of
Portland.
Both are large men, well proportioned
and each weighs exactly 250 pounds with
his clothes on. Their features are strik
ingly similar. Each has a dark com
plexion, is smooth shaven and is usually
smoking a cigar. Besides, their clothes
are very much alike.
Mr. Kyle explains good-naturedly that
ever so often during the day he is ap
proached by some one who wishes to -file
a complaint about his taxes or wants to
make an appointment with him at the
City Hall. Some one else Is constantly
saluting him with "How do you do. Cap
tain?" His friends are constantly ask
ing him why he spends so much time at
the city building. When Mr. Kyle in
forms them that he seldom if ever goes
to the City Hall, his acquaintances Kh;ike
their heads, look at him rather doubt
fully and walk away.
And Mi. Welch has the same troubles.
People are always stopping him on the
street and wanting hiformation about
the wheat crop, or the condition of the
fruit In this or that section, or a thou
sand and one other things that a produce
man has to contend with. Then Mr.
Welch Is compelled to explain that a
mistake has been made and that he Is
the Deputy City Assessor.
Mr. Welch and Mr. Kyle are trying to
arrange a meeting through their friends,
when it is expected that a compromise
will be made and that one of them will
agree to raise whiskers or disfigure him
self in gome other manner, so that peopls
will be able to tell them apart.
