ELMER WILLIAMS JAILED.
Formerly Wai In Business In Walla
Walla, Where He Was Successful.
Walla Walla, April 28. Elmer E
Williams, who is charged with 'drug
ging two men in the famous Goo Goo
saloon in Seattle, is well known in
this city, where he resided for a num
ber of years. Williams left this city
about a year ago with his wife, and
has been heard of by but few of his
friends since his entering business in
Seattle. At the present time he 1b in
jail In default of JbOOO bonds.
.Williams took up land near Touchet
.station in this county many years ago.
and it is said he still owns land h
this county. He managed a warehouse
at Dixie for several years, and was
considered industrious and honest
Then he came to town and took up,
politics. Williams studied politics
under Coblentz, the warden of the
state penitentiary, who committed su
icide when found short in his ac
counts. Under the instruction of Cob
lentz, Williams soon took a leading
place in politics in this county. He
was a careful manipulator and a re
lentless worker. For several years he
worked ln the interests of Levi An
keny, and at one time was a lieuten
ant at Temple flat Then he fell out
with his superior and for the last year
or two In this county he took a posi
tion of bitter opposition to Mr. An
keny's interests. After a telling de
feat nearly two years ago, the Wil
liams faction was so discouraged that
Wdlliams gave up politics and enter
ed the cigar and club room business
in Seattle. He left here about a year
ago and has not been back since. He
has a wife, but no children! .
The news of William's arfest and
the heavy bond fixed by the justice
at Seattle was a surprise to Williams'
old-time associates in thiB city.

working force has been increased by
an addition of 25 miners, and the mill
will be started up at an early date
Mr. Melkel Is the first scientific min
ing engineer ln charge of the mine."

ance of April Mr. Howard says treas

Will Carry the War to the Gravo If
That is Necessary.
Colonel John A. Joyco, of Washing
ton, who claims to have written Ella
Wheeler Wilcox's poom which con
tains th" lines:
Laugh and tho world laughs with you,
Weep and you weep alone,
has designed a mounmont for himself
upon which ho is going to have tho
famous verses carvod, thus "carrying
the controversy to tho grave," as ho
puts It. Perhaps ho ought to say that
in having tho matter recorded on his
tombstone ho will bo running it into
tho ground, but ho prefers" tho moro
poetic form of expression. In a re
cent interview on this subject tho
colonel said:
I will not deny that It is a pet idea
with mo to assert, over my gravo, tho
authorship of "Laugh and tho world
Laughs With You." Wlion I wrote
tho poem beginning with those lines
I was about 20 years of ago and adju
tant of tho Kentucky regiment with
which I served throughout tho war. I
composed it at a banquet at Louis
vllle, and it appoared in tho Louis
villo Journal, then under tho ablo
editorship of George D. Prentice.
Tho little poom, of which I did not
think much at the time, soon attained
a wonderful popularity. It lias sinco
become moro popular, nnd has drifted
around In various Journals, without
my name, common prey for uny pla
giarist or thief who chose to appro
priate It. As for Ella Wheolor Wil
cox's claim to Its authorship Bho lias
only claimed it sinco 1883, and num
bers have heard mo read it at var
ions meetings, Grand Army gather
ings and tho like, yoars beforo that
time.
Mrs. Wilcox, on her part, offers
$10,000 to anyone who can show a
paper, magazine or othor publication
dated prior to 1883 that contains tho
poom. No doubt It Is Colonel Joyce's
fine old southern chivalry that keeps
him! from producing tho Louisville
Journal of 1863 and taking tho lady's
money. Ono cannot help admiring tho
spirit which prompts him to practice
such self-denial.
A Few Newspaper Strikes,
