Ills Name Now Scratched Off a Long IJ of Those Marked for Dcwt ruc tion Other Imminent Men Arc Yet to He Murdered, According to ltrpoits From Denver. As the result of an epidemic of glanders $;U.0O0 worth of horses have been destroyed In Vancouver, B. C, during the last two mouths. About one-third of all the horses of the town have been shot and cremated and still the disease appears to be spreading. The inspection was first taken up by Dr. .S. F. Tolmie. the provincial veterinarian, with headquarters at "Victoria. Then a visit was paid to the city by Dr. Montlzambert, head of the department of health for the do minion government, and finally two special inspectors have been sent out from Ottawa to see what can be done. In some instances all the horses of different stables were led out to be shot. The Vancouver Breweries. Ltd., lost every horse In Its large stable. Many driving horses, owned by pri vate citizens and quartered at the downtown stables. were killed. Scarcely a stable in the town escaped without losing from 10 to 12 animals. Just now horse owners of the city are up in arms. They believe that the lest applied by the government of ficials is altogether too drastic and that many of the horses killed have not been suffering from glanders at all. Meanwhile the officials arc pro ceeding with the work of Inspection and are gradually thinning the ranks of fine horses In the city. Victoria and other cities In the province have established a quaran tine against Vancouver, so far as horse Importations are concerned. There Is no market for horses here now. for the reason that new animals are liable to catch the disease and be shot by the authorities. When the disease Is finally stamped nut. however, several hundreds of horses of all kinds will be needed In "Vancouver. HIGH CLASS COMIC OPERA. "Johnny Conic Marching Home," .Monday. January 15. R. W". Priest, business manager for 'When Johnny Comes Marching Home." was in the city yesterday for the purpose of arranging for the pre sentation of the play at the Frazer theater next Monday evening, January 15. Some time ago the play was sched uled for Pendleton, but the engage ment was cancelled. However, it has since been decided by the manage ment to come to Pendleton, and lovers of comic opera will have an opportu nity to see such next Monday even ing. . "When Johnny. Comes Marching HomV is a comic opera with a war time bearing, as Its name -would Indi cate. Patriotic airs are features of the entertainment, which is a stirring one. "When the company recently finished a 10-weeks' engagement In Chicago with JS3.000 receipts, the large audi ence rose of Its own volition and sang "Auld Lang Syne." W. P. Carleton, the leading man In the company, who appears as Johnny, is a large man and u said to fill the role to perfection. He has a strong, deep baritone voice. He played for 3T,0 nights In London as Harry Bron son in "The Belle of New York." Shown to ltd Profitable Investment the Teller. Superintendent Smith of the city waterworks In his semi-annual report presented to the council last night a very strong argument of the value of municipal ownership of thnt public utility, says the Lewlston Teller. The salary account for December was $453.50; the power account $253.43 and the expenditure for Incidentals $H6. making a total or $851.92 for disbursements. The receipts for the month were f 1 892.73. The semi-annual report showed receipts of $10,706.23 and dis bursements of $16,266.20. The deficit arises from the fact that $4000 Inter est had to be paid at this time and $3000 paid out for betterments In the way of new pipe and $1000 for re pairs. Deducting this $8000 the actual operating expenses for the last six months is found to be $S266. while the actual Income is $10,706.25, and this time includes all the heavy pump ing season Incident to Irrigation with all the repairs to both pump and mo-( tor and to pipe lines. The report goes on to show thnt aside, from the earnings Indicated by the cash from personal services the city has had free water for the parks. I free water for sprinkling and free water for the city hall and the pub lic library, also for twenty flush tanks for the sewers a service all told which under the old company's rates would cost the city $6240 per year, leaving the balance In favor of the city and showing the department to be practically self-sustaining. The problem as to whether the citi zens are getting a cheaper service or a better service than under the old system is not touched upon In the re port, but a very significant fact is sug gested In the assertion that If the wastes of the present system were checked the city could show earnings to the amount of some $6000 more than at present. The waste consists of the loss occa sioned by running water out of hours. where the city Is not only robbed of the service rendered, but the general cost of service to all consumers is in creased by the action. The only cor rection of this abuse Is a meter sys tem for every consumer who will then pay for what he uses and the annual saving to the city under the superin 'endent's showing, would soon . pay for the meters and give a surplus which might later apply to lessen the cost of the service. A special from Denver, Col.. In speaking of the alleged conspiracy of western dynamiters to murder every man taking an active part against the rioters In recent mining troubles, says: One more name was scratched off the list of those doomed to die as a result of mine troubles when former Governor Frank Stunenberg of Idaho, was blown up by an infernal machine at the gate of his home In Idaho. The Inner circle of dynamiters has now taken the lives of about 50 men, and many more are on their list. Former Governor Peabody of this state, former Adjutant General Sher man Pell. Captain Bulkley Wells of Tellurlde. Samuel D. Crump, attor ney for the Cripple Creek Mlneown ers' association, and most of the members of that association are known to have been condemned to death. It has taken six years to get Gov ernor Steunenberg. but these assas sins are like the Indian, and unless they are hunted down and extermin ated every one of the marked men will meet a violent death at their hands. Sniping off the helpless victims was pursued by agitators In Colorado dur lug and after the Leadvllle strike of 1880. The next move was the attempt to dynamite two mines at Leadvllle In 1896. when an unknown number of non-union men were killed. Driven from Colorado the dynamite gang went to Idaho, and perpetrated the dynamite outrage of 1899, for which Governor Steunenberg punish ed many and drove others from the the state. Returning to Colorado these agitators .began by killing mine superintendent' Collins at Tellurlde t ,vo years ng i. vi L This was followed by ' numerous other murders and the Independence dynamite outrage. For their part In hunting down the perpetrators and driving them out of Cripple Creek. Peabody, Bell and others are now condemned to die. Capture of secret records nt Victor. Col., last year, re vealed this fact. TOO MICH MOKPII1XE FOll TWO GENERAL NEWS. Ten degrees below zero at Des Moines, Iowa, the morning of January 8, was the coldest of the Beason at that city. The first man elected to the Rus sian douma or congress was a lawyer named Grusenberg, at Talsen, prov ince of Courland. A Baltimore & Ohio special made the distance from Garrett to Chicago Junction, 128 miles, in 126 minutes. Individual miles were run In 35 sec onds. Near Colorado Springs the dead body of F Crane Wilson, a wealthy Chicago man was fo'und, with a bullet through the head and the man's watch and money missing. Mrs. Hooker T. Washington Is put ting In much time organizing southern negro women Into clubs, reading cir cles and kindred organizations, and Is meeting with surprising success. There are 40 known cases of scarlet fever In Irving Park, a suburb of Chicago, and nil schools and churches have been closed. The epidemic is spreading rapidly, and the town Is panic struck. At the Confederate Soldiers' home, (state) at Hot Springs, Ark., James Long, an Inmate, attempted to brain Colonel Goddard, the superintendent, with a piece of lead pipe. This Is the second attempt by Long upon God dard's life. New banking Institutions are being rapidly established In Arkansas, Mis sissippi and Tennessee. It is stated that there has not been a bank failure in Mississippi in years, and both Ar kansas and Tennessee have excellent records in the same respect. The recent advance ordered by the tin and steel trust Is based on 10 cents per 100 pounds on all black and gal vanized sheets, and 5 cents on blue annealed sheets. This brings the price to $2 on black and galvanized sheets. In the tinplate list the advance Is 10 cents on the base box on all tin mill products, black and coated. !A SOROSIS!

P. company Intend taking the Weed railroad and running It up the east side of the Cascade range to reach Eugene City, Ore., by shorter distance and avoid the climb over the Siskiyou, says the Yreka. (Cal.) Journal. This, it Is said, would leave out Edgewood. Cazelle, Mon tague, Yreka, Hornbrook, Ashland. Medford and Roseburg from railroad benefit, as, the rumor says, the tracks would be pulled up. The franchise of the road was given to run through Shasta, Rogue Klver and L'mpqua valleys, with government donations of even sections for 30 miles on each side of the road, on a 60-mile strip but the government may object, unless the land Is surrendered. The road from Weed down to Duns- mulr is nearly as heavy as over Siski you, hence the shortest and best route to Pan Francisco would be through Siskiyou down the Klamath river and strike the California Northwestern at Eureka. WORK OX XOHTH BANK. Four Grading Crew-H IJetuecn Kenno- ulrk and Wallula. Work rn the north bank road Is progressing at a rapid rate, says the Walla Walla Statesman. Between Kennewlck and Wallula there are four grading crews at work on the grade. There are about 100 men em ployed and an equal number of teams. About two miles of the grade has been completed between the two points. Saturday three more construction crews reached Kennewlck and It was the intention to put them to work this morning. The old steamer Hannaford, which was to be used by the Northern Paci fic In transporting grading outfits and materials from Pasco and Kennewlck to the various grading camps along the river, Is still lying In the mouth of the Snake. That stream Is so low that it has been found Impossible to set the boat over the bar. The Moun tain Gem. which Is being operated In connection with the portage road, Is now being used by the company In supplying the camps. The Northern Pacific has completed its long side track from the "Y" near Hunt's Junction to the Columbia river. This will be used by trains loaded with tools and supplies. At the river tne I XIOX PRAVEIt MEETINGS. I ce I'lilnncv Held on Charge of Ad ministering Fatal Dose. Mrs. Annie Fairfield and William H. Cox are dead at Culdesac, and Lee Phlnney Is under arrest charged with administering morphine to the vic tims in sufficient quantities to have caused their death, surys the Lewlston Tribune. When Phlnney was placed on the stand he stated that he went to the Fairfield home Thursday afternoon In comoanv with Mrs. Fairfield and Cox. He stated that a quantity of alcohol was secured and all were In toxicated during the night. The mor phine was administered about 6 o'clock Friday morning at the request of Mrs. Fairfield and Cox, who were suffering from the effects of alcohol. "I had been sleeping during the night." Bald Phlnney, when seen this evening, "and was awakened In the morning by Cox and Mrs. Fairfield. I have been addicted to the use of drugs for some time and as soon as I got up I prepared a solution of mor phine for my own use. They did not know that I was a victim of the habit, and when I took a dose they wanted some to relieve their suffering. The dose I gave them was not a sufficient quantity to result seriously and I am convince dthey secured more of the drug from my vest while I was asleep." The verdict of the jury Impanneleil by Coroner Vassar was to the effect that both Coieand Mrs. Fairfield came to their death from morphine poison Ing administered by Lee Phlnney, while the latter was In an Intoxicated condition. As soon as the verdict was made known Phlnney was ordered ar rested by Coroner assar and was taken to Lewiston tonight by Deputy Sheriff Ferris. Lee Phlnney is a son of Sam Phln ney. and was raised In the vicinity of Culdesac. He Is a half-breed Nez Perce Indian and Is a nephew of Mrs. Fairfield, one of tlie victims of the tragedy. The preliminary examina tion has not yet been set. At Harrison, Idaho, the 15-months-old son of J. H. McCann ate the heads off matches until It consumed a lurge number, and died In great agony. The business of the Walla Walla postofflce has more than doubled within 10 years, and during the past nine months the receipts were $21,-960. James Barrett, a contractor, has brought suit against the officials of the new Trinity church, In Portland, for $36 50 alleged to be due on his contract to complete the building. The new Elks' temple at Moscow, Idaho, will be dedicated January 12. The O. It. & N. and Northern Pacific both give a special rate of one and one-third fare for the round trip. The business of the Pullman post office shows a 15 per cent gain for 1905, over 1904. The total receipts for 1905 were $8988.64. The town ex pects free delivery by January 1, 1907. A partial close-down of the Seattle flour mills Is expected In a short time on account of the decrease of business due to the Chinese boycott. Shipments to Japan are as large as ever, but the large Chinese firms ure resolute with the boycott. Over 20,000 tons of Ice Is used for various purposes on the Itocky moun tain division of the Northern Pacific annually. It now looks as though this amount could not be gathered from this year's natural crop In both the Cascade and Rocky mountains alon the Northern Pacific lines. Raymond E. Davis, of Seattle, aged 19 years, was quartermaster on the Bennington at the time of the explo sion. He was badly scalded and at great risk of his life rescued another sailor, who, however, died 11 days later. Davis has been awarded a gold medal by the government.

Meetings will commence promptly at 7:30 each night. Coal Famine In Walla Walla. There is another coal famine In Walla Walla and, according to local dealers, there Is no prospect of It be Ing relieved for the next 10 days, says the Statesman. The dealers clulm that they are unable to secure a supply on account of the shortage of cars. Dur ing the last week several carloads were received, but the coal was used to supply standing orders and several contracts that were made during the summer. Very little of the fuel wa sold to families during the week and It now looks as though wood will have to be uwd for some time for both heating and cooking purposes. The soothing and comforting ef fects of DeWltfs Witch Hazel Salvo, when applied to Piles, sores, cuts, bolls, etc, subdues pain almost Instant ly. This salve draws out the Inflam mation, reduces swelling and acts as a rubefacient, thus circulating the blood through the diseased parts, per manently removing the trouble entire ly.
