Visiting Knights of Pythias from
many outside cities will be here in

Theodore Bracker yesterday re
ceived a dispatch from Capt. Henry
Olsen, saying that the sealing-schooner
Bessie Butter, which left here last
March, had arrived at Victoria with
over 4,000 worth of seal skins, also
informing him that he had sold the
catch for a first class price. Mr.
Bracker, who is managing owner, left
last evening for Victoria to settle up
the account connected with the
schooner.
None of the electric lights were
burning last evening and except for
the moonlight, the lower part of the
city was shrouded in darkness. The
contracts for lighting the city ran
out several months ago, and when
ever the council meets, an effort to
award a contract is beaten by a vote
of three to three. It is pleasant these
dark nights for citizens and citizen
nesses who have business to go stumb
ling along in the dark. But so long
as the council is satisfied, why should
plain ordinary taxpayers kick?

did flee from Mrs. Potiphar, but the
charge of rape preferred against him
the day before was dismissed, and yes
terday he was on trial for alleged as
sault and battery. A jury listened to
the. testimony and the impassioned
eloquence of the advocates and
brought in a verdict of guilty. Jus
tice May then imposed a fine of -$50.

WAS HE MURDERED?
Mysterious Death of Michael Hirvas.
Yesterday morning coroner Surpre
nant was informed by Chas Carlson,
that a man had been found dead in
his room opposite the Washington
cannery. In company with an Asto
riax reporter, he went to the spot and
found the dead body of Michael Hir
vas, lying cold and stiff, face down
ward on the floor. The head and
face were covered with blood.
The body was brought to the un
dertaking rooms. A medical examin
ation disclosed the fact that the un
fortunate man's skull was fractured,
ihe doctor stating that in his judg-nii-nt
the fracture was U.c i-aii-c of
deulL.
Circumstances" point strongly to
foul play. The presumption is that
Hirvas was assaulted on the roadway,
and that he regained his room only
to perish miserably alone.
Coroner Surprenanfyesterday even
ing impaneled a jury and will hold
an inquest at 9 o'clock this morning.
Deceased was a well known carpen
ter, and had been steadily employed.
The funeral will be from F. H. Sur

The Royal Baking Powder is con
sidered by all chemists and food
analysts to be a marvel of purity,
strength and wholesomeness. The
official tests show, furthermore, that
it is now the only baking powder be
fore the public free from both lime
and alum, and absolutely pure. It
has come to be used almost as exclu
sively throughout the country.
This exclusive purity is due largely
to the improved method by the use of
which it has been made possible to
produce a perfectly pure cream of
tartar, from which all the lime, etc.,
has been eliminated.
This chemically pure cream of tar
tar is exclusively employed in the
manufacture of the Royal Baking
Powder, so that its absolute freedom
from lime and all other extraneous
substances is guaranteed.
Professor McGurtrie, late chenist-in-chief
to the TJ. S. department of
Agriculture, Washington, D. C, after
analyzing samples of tho various bak
ing powders of the market, testified to
the absolute purity of the Royal Bak
ing Powder as follews:
"All chemical tests to which I have
submitted it have proved the Royal
Baking Powder perfectly healthful,
of uniform, excellent quality, and free
from every deleterious substance.

Jas. B. Stephens, and F. T. Dick
have filed a petition in the county
court, asking that C. A. Grove be re
moved from the administratorship
of the Stephens estate. The petition
ers alleged that Gove, W. Scott Beebe,
Gove's attorney, H. H. Boyce and
John A. Carr, the latter who sprang
into little a notoriety here of late in
connection with the Tacoma heir,
Bichard Walker, are conspiring to
circumvent the wishes of the deceased
with reference to the disposal of the
property he left her, and for this pur
pose they are said to have prevailed
upon Elizabeth McCalla, daughter ot
deceased, aiiegea to do or weas; nuna,
to permit them to use her name for
the purpose of securing the appoint
ment of Gove as administrator. Gove
denies all charges.

LATEST ELECTION NEWS.
Olympia, Oct. 2. Election returns
are coming in very slowly. The ma
joritfe3 of the Republicans elected
cannot yet be given. The election of
Republican congressman, state and
legislative ticket caused all interest
to be centered in1 the capital location.
Olympia continues to lead, but as
EUensburg closely follows and North
Yakima has received a very heavy
vote, it is probable that none of the
three cities will receive a majority.
Nothing definite can be said regard
ing the result of yesterday's election
further than already has been tele
graphed. IK KING COUNTY.
Seattle, Oct. 2. Complete returns
from ten precinots gives Wilson 470,
and Griffitts 444. The same pre
cincts in 1888 gave Allen 387, and
Voorhees 402, a net Republican gain
of 41. In the city 951 votes are
counted, giving Wilson 538 and
Griffitts 418. These same precincts
in 1888 gave Allen 600 majority when
3.500 votes were cast. This will prob
ably be materially reduced but the
Republicans are more than ever con
fident of carrying the county.
FROM OT.ABKE OOUNTr.
Vancouveb, Oct 2. Returns from
east and west Vanoouver, Brush
Prairie, and Fourth Plain precincts
give the Republican state ticket about
400 majority and the legislative about
450. N. H. Bloomfield will leave these
precincts with 300 majority. The
constitution is carried by 320 major
ity. Woman suffrage and prohibition
are defeated by 510 and 358 respect
ively. Seven hundred and eighty
votes were cast for North Yakima as
state capital.
FROM PIEROE COUNTY.
Tacoma, Oct. 2. The count so far
in this city puts every Republican on
the state and county tickets ahead.
If the rest of the count is in the same
ratio, not a single Democrat will get a
majority in this city.
MONTANA REPUBLICAN, TOO.
Milwaukee, Oct. 2. The Evening
Wiseojisin received the following at
at noen:
Helena, Montana, Oct. 2. Thomas
H. Carter, Republican, is elected to
congress. The Republicans have both
branches of the legislature.
Signed .A. J. Seligman,

State Central Committee.
BIO REPUBLICAN MAJORITY.
Aberdeen, Dak., Oct 2. The Re
publican state central committee es
timate this morning the Republican
state ticket to be elected by 20.00Q
majority, and that prohibition is ear
ned by from 10,000 to 15,000 majority;
that Pierre has 25,000 votes for the
temporary capital, with Huron a good
second. Pierre will undoubtedly be
the temporary papital.
FROM SEATTLE.
Seattle, Oot 2. ReturnB received
from nearly every county in the state
indicate the election of the Republi
can state ticket by 8,000 majority.
The Democrats reduce the Republi
can majority in Seattle slightly.
The new legislature will have
seventy-five Republican majority on
joint ballot
The constitution is ratified by a
large majority and prohibition and
woman's suffrage are defeated.
It requires a majority of I the vote,
to select a permanent capital. East
of the Cascade'" mbuntains, North
Yakima is ahead and west of that
range Olympia leads. Neither will
have a majority and another election
will be necessary to decide that ques
tion. CAUGHT AFTER SIXTEEN YEARS.
Gainesville, Tex., Oot 2. Deputy
United States marshal Hunt, of this
city, arrived here to-day from Ozark,
Ark., bringing with him W. R. Cobb,
wanted in this county to answer to
the charge of murdering R. S. Rich
ards, a farmer, near Marysville, this
county, "in June, 1878. Cobb skipped
the country as soon as the killing oc
curred, and was indicted for the mur
der in August, 1873. Since his flight
he has lived in California. Arizona,
New Mexico and other western terri
tories, always being on the dodge,
fearing he would be brought baok to
Gainesville, and some years ago he
ierx tne west ana went into Arkansas,
where he has remained since. Several
months ago he killed a negro near
Ozark, for which crime -he was ar
rested and placed in jail at that town.
The authorities learning that Cobb
was wanted in Cook county, Tex.,
for the murder of a white man, in
formed sheriff Ware here that he had
the man and would hold him
subject to a requisition from the
governor of Texas. The requisition
was secured a few days ago, and was
honored by governor Eagle. Cobb
was indicted for assault to murder G.
E. Richards at the same time he was
indicted for murdering R. S. Richards,
the latter being shot dead at the lime
and the former severely wounded. The
killing is said to have been the result
of a quarrel about a young lady in the
neighborhood whom Cobb and the
Richards were courting at the same
time.

going away to make their homes in
another part of the south. The ex
odus has commenced all along the
line, and will continue from now until
tho 1st of January.
