Aa the city S ection approaches
nearer and nearer, the query as to
who will fill the various city offices,
become more and more pressing.
Numerous candidates for muyor are
proponed, but the race will probably
simmer down to three or four men. In
the various wards considerable Inter
est Is being taken and mntters political
are warming up. So far it is emphat
ically expressed on nil Bides that par
tisan politics should not enter the
campaign In any form, and It is evi
dent that all parties will discourage a
partisan flght-i The chief contest la to
be between friends and foes of law
and order; the only question to he
asked of any man will be whether he
believes In luw enforcement and sa
loon regulation.
For mayor, the chief Interest Is now
centering on Dr. W. (I. Cole and K. 1
Smith, both of whom are capable,
fearless and public . spirited. Both
have a strong following and either one
selected would make a good race and
' would almost certainly be elected.
It Is understood that Mayor Matlock
would accept a second term If his
friends urge, and Dr. Vincent is also
mentioned, although It is alinowt cer
tain that he would not accept a nom
ination under any circumstances.
In the first ward, which comprises
all that portion of the city east of
Vincent street, V. P. Temple Js the
choice of the majority of the residents
f-om present Indications. He is an
active man and was only defeated by
Wells two years ago by a bare margin.
In ward Xo. 2, which comprises all
that portion of the city west of Vin
cent und north of Court street, and
which Is now represented by Murphy
and Johnson, little activity is shown
In the Selection of a successor to
Johnson, although Will Moore is men
tioned favorably for the place. J. F.
Hnblnson Is also mentioned and the
name of John Kees has been suggest
ed.
In the fourth ward T. F. Howard, H.
Simmons. William Rish and K. L.
Smith have been suggested as suitable
timber for the council, although there
Is a general sentiment tn favor of E.
.1 Smith for muyor.
In the third ward, now represented
by Kenn and Dickson, the names of
Horace Walker. J. K. Bennett, H. E.
Cook and L. B. Penland have been
suggested, either of whom would be a
strong man as a successor in Dickson,
whose term expires. The third ward
will be the storm center of the fight,
as all the tinhorns In the city have
rooms In the lodging houses In that
portion of the elly. unit every one of
them has registered. It will require
a heavy vole from the law-loving ele
ment In that ward to elect a man fa
vorable to good morals.
There Is considerable quiet work
being done by the saloons to locate
men favorable to their side of the
question and there promises to be a
contest In every ward.
Roth K. U Smith and Dr. W. CI.
Cole are favorable to street improve
ment and other progressive measures
and an both heavy taxpayers. , Roth
are ardent supporters of the public
school system and believe In making
the city Inviting to a class of school
hunting people and the candidacy of
either of them would be highly accept'
uble to the majority of the legal voters
and home-owners of the city.

IMPEACH OFFICIALS.
Constables Are Accused of Drunken
ness and Hmtulfty.
Monterey, Sept. 21. Colonel Ward,
of the Fifteenth I'. S. Infantry, has
entered an official protest ngalust the
brutnr beating of soldiers In Jnll here
by Constables Hlnklo and Graxlola,
and demands tho Impeachment of
them as drunken officials. Trial will
take place next Tuesday.

COMPLAIN OF RAILROADS.
Seattle. Shlpiiers Show VnJiiHt Iruc
Uoch of Washington Roods.
Olympla, Kept 21. Two letters
have been received by the railroad
commission, from Senttlo firms, pro
testing agulnst the present discrimina
tion against that city by the railroads.
Tho letters received were from the
Manufacturers' association and the
Crescent Manufacturing association,
both of Seattle.
They state that tinder the present
condition of affairs goods shipped
from Puget Sound points to eastern
Washington all go to Portland before
reaching their points of destination. It
is readily seen that this not only costs
Seattle firms more, but Increases the
time of transit from a week to 10
days longer than It would tuke If
goods were shipped direct to Spokane
via the (ircat Northern, or Northern
Pacific, as they wore before the repeal
of the Joint turiff in June.
This is of great Importance to
Seattle, as affects every manufac
turer and jobber who ships to eastern
Washington.
Another hater was received by the
commission from R. A. Kllnge, of
Kennewlck, Wash., asking for a second-class
minimum rate by roads In
this state on small shipments regard
less of what class the same may take
In the western classification. Mr.
Kllngu states tn his tetter that he be
lieves the shippers in this state would
be saved f 1,004,060 annually by the
establishment of a 25-ccnt minimum
on small shipments.

COMMISSIONER RICHARDS
SUGGESTS TWO CHANGES.
Will Recommend I4tw to Congnws
Making It a Misdemeanor to Influ
ence an Kntrynian In Locating on
Government l.an.1 ninU4otT
Will ALso Urge the DisnonCnuaner
if Either the Register or Receiver
of All I .ami Offices One Official
Is Sufficient.
Washington, Sept. 21. (Special.)
Two Important and far-reaching rec
ommendations will be made by Com
missioner Richards, of the general
land office on the opening of congress
this year.
The first will be a law making II
a misdemeanor for any person to of
fer to locate another on a tract of gov
eminent land or to Influence In any
way any entryman on government
land.
The second and moro Important
recommendation will be to abolish
one of the two chief offices In all
public land offices. .Either a register
or receiver, whatever title may be de
elded upon, will have entire charge of
all offices, thus saving the salary of
one useless officer and making U more
convenient to conduct government
business. As It Is now If one or the
other of the present land office of
ficials Is absent or under charges, the
business of the office Is tied up.
commissioner Richards hopes to
have the hearty co-operation of con
gress In these Innovations.

Chicago, Sept. 21. In the United
States court this morning four mem.
bers of the Schwurschild & Sulzberg
er Packing company pleaded guilty of
accepting bribes from railroads.
Samuel Well, vice president of the
company; Vance D. Sklpworth, as
sistant traffic manager; Heth 8. Cu-
xi y, traffic manager, accused of ac
cepting rebates. The latter was also
indicted, alleged to be Interfering
with government witnesses. The cases
are unidentified with any alleged vi
olation of the Sherman law.
Charles E. Todd, assistant traffic
manager, also pleaded guilty.
Judge Kethea fined Well (10.000.
and Ciisey, sklpworth and Todd $5000
each. The costs were distributed
proportionately. In addition. The
United States marshal took the men
into custody.
Weil gave the clerk of the court a
vheck covering ull the fines and costs.
The government spent 116,762 Im
panellt and keeping the grand Jury
which Indicted. The fines aggregated
V2S.O0O with costs of $8.
The government toduy filed a de.
murrer to the plea of the other pack'
era, who allege their Indictments are
improperly returned.
Well is 65 years old and In poor
hmlth. unci his family fears the re
sult of the trials.
Secretary Moody telegraphed con
gratulations to Morrison for securing
convictions, and said the cases will
be the opening wedge for the prosecu
tlon of nil offenders of the law pro
hibiting rebates.
It is rumored tho district attorney
has found evidence of more viola
tions and that there will be other In
dictments when the present cases are
finished. Morrison expects to have
the cases of the packers under in
dictment for violations of the Sher
man anti-trust law brought to a final
hearing October 2, and expects to get
the dilatory pleus out of court by that
time.

other labor officials and Charles Gll-
hooley, Monday pleaded not guilty

set the defense and surprised the
prosecution. It Is said Meller will
testify for the state In pending cases.

SURVEYORS IN KITTITAS.

Ellcnsburg, Wash., Sept. 21. A
corps of surveyors Is now working in '
nomas vuney ami arousing consid
erable interest. The engineers are all
slrongers here, and will give absolute
ly no Information. In view of a late
report that the Ellenshurg-IJud cut
off Is to be built, the belief Is preva
lent that the surveyors are working
on this line. Two different surveys
have been made for this cutoff be
tween Ellensburg and the Columbia
river, so that the advent of these sur
veyors Is somewhat puzzling.
Homo rumors connect them with
an electric line to the east end of the
valley, but this is not generally be
lieved. As surveyed, the line from El

30 by the present line.
