for the e4ction of T F. Laurin to the
police commission T
Why is T F. Laurin, himself, so anx
ious for the honor?
What axe Mr. Laurin's views on a
"wide open town," anyway?
When ia a chief of police not a chief
of police! At any old time, jut now.
(Excuse us for answering, but it was so
easy.)
Why is all the rag-tag and bob-tail
of slumdom out at work for tlie Dtno

What haa been promised them!
If it is a "wide open town," who
promised it, and when will the goods
be delivered!
rerhaps the "legal department" of
the city will earn that $1080 if the
town is opened up. At present it is a
conspicuous gift If not, why not!

intendent Butth han laboard lrj to
make Uie coming institute a success,
and her unremitting efforts to secure
competent and desirable, instructors
and lecturers, seem at lat to be re

Sampson of the State College at Pull
man, Deputy Superintendent of Public
Instruction F. M. McCully, and Lou
Gertrude Diven, of the Washington
State library.
Leon Schmiti, Quartermaster on Colum
bine, Make Vain Attempt to
Commit Suicide Yesterday.
Because the woman lie loved did not
return his affection, Leon Schmitt, em
ployed a quartermaster on the gov
ernment light house tender Columbine,
made an uiuuccful attempt to com
mit suicide, early yesterday morning
by drinking carbolic acid
The attempt to end his existence was
made in tho woman's apartments on
Astor street, and that it proved a fail
ure, in due to the fact, that most of
the ft rev liquid contained in the bottle,
was spilled over Schmitx'a face, only a
small portion being swalloweil As soon
as uia woman wiut whom Mchmtti was
at the time, saw what her lover had
done, she summoned help. lr. Pilk-
ington, who was called, after examining
the mmi's condition and finding that he
had not taken all of the content of
bottle, administered restoratives,

him completely recovered.
All attempts to induce Schmiti to talk
have thus far proved unavailing. When
ever the nurses or doctor try to get
him to speak, Schmitz will close his
eye and pretend to be asleep.
It seems that Schmiti has been a
frequent visitor to the woman's vepart
menU, and had declared his affection
for her, but was refused, which Indiffer
