THE GARBAGE CLEANER. now the "Slopper Goes His Rounds Pick' lug Up Unconsidered Trifles. "That man is a slopper, " rmarfced a police officer to a Star, writer a few mornings since, "and he and his class give us any amount of trouble. If he stole, we could reach him by tne law, but as he only finds, we , cannot easily reach him. " In further explanation, he said: "A slopper is a man who searches through the garbage cans in the alleys in the rear of hotels, boarding houses and private houses., Some only search for spoons, knives and forks that are thrown into the garbage receptacle by careless servants, for it is a fact that there are more silver spoons and knives and forks thrown away with the gar bage than are stolen by servants, though the contrary is generally believed. The slopper is generally an hour or so ahead of the garbage collector, and he is often more regular and careful in his rounds than the garbage man. " By industry we thrive,' as the line in the copy books used to maintain, and by industry on a good west end route, especially one which takes in a number .of boarding houses or hotels, a slopper can find enough table ware to pay the expenses of his tour. Often he makes a rich find. , Very frequently he has per mission to 'slop' the can from the own ers of the houses themselves, for he tells1 them he is on the lookout for' stray pieces of meat, etc., which he sells to those who have dogs to feed. Some sloppers are honest enough to return any silverware they , may find for the dog meat privilege, but it is a terrible temptation to many, and one they can not or do not at times withstand.

HlOdS s Scroiua TlBe, NOMINATED STATE OFFICERS Washington State Republicans Meet at . Taooma-Th PlatforiaW Last week in Taooma the Republi cans of Washington held their state convention and placed the following ticket in the field: Governor, F. C. Sullivan, of Pieroe; lieutenant-governor, J. W. Arasmith, of Whitman; supreme judge, John F. Eoyt, of King; secretary of state, J. H. Price, of Pieroe; treasurer, J. A. Kellogg, of Columbia; auditor, John E. Frost, of Kittitas; attorney-general, W. Ross, of Cowlitz; superintendent of publio instruction, Edwin L. Brunton, of Walla Walla; commissioner of publio lands, W. T. Forest, of Lewis; state printer, , O; C. White, of Columbia; presidential eleotors, L. B. Andrews, of King; Sol Smith, of Klickitat; John N. Conna, of Pieroe; W. K. Ken nedy, of Adams. . The Platform. "We, the Republicans of the state of Washington in convention assembled, reaffirm and renew our allegiance to the prinoiplea of the Republican party, and indorse the declaration' of princi ples as expressed by the national con vention held in St. Louis, June, 1896. "We further pledge our earnest and united support to the nominees of the Republican party for president and vioe-president of the .United States, William MoKinley and Garret A. Ho bart. ; ' "We indorse and oommend the pru dent, wise and patriotio oonduct of publio affairs under the chief rnagk .traoy of Hon. John H. MoGraw, . and denounce as false and malioious the at taoks made upon our state administra tion from motives of personal revenge, and for partisan purposes. "We reaffirm our confidence in the ability, probity and efficiency of Sena tor John L. Wilson and Congressmen William H. Doolittle and S. C. Hyde. "We assert that the injuries to our industries and the wrongs inflicted upon our - wage-earners, miners, arti sans and all laboring olasses, and upon our lumber, ooal and agricultural in terests are chiefly attributable to the repeal Of the MoKinley law and the abrogation of our national prosperity rests upon a just ' application of the principles of a protective tariff. "The Republican party is unreserv edly for sound money. It caused the enaotment of the law providing for the resumption of specie payments in 1879; since then every dollar' has been as good as gold. We are unalterably op posed to every measure calculated to debase our currenoy or impair the oredit of our country. We are, there fore, opposed to the free coinage of silver, except by international agree ment with the leading commercial na tions pt the world, which we pledge ourselves to promote, and until such agreement can be obtained, the exist ing gold standard must be preserved. All our silver and paper ourrency must be maintained at parity with gold, and we favor all measures designed to maintain inviolably the obligations of the United States, and all our money, whether coin or paper, at the present standard of the most enlightened na tions of the earth. "We. heartily approve the declara tion of the Republican national con vention in which it pledges the Repub lican party to promote international agreement, and we hereby instruct our senator and representatives in congress to earnestly oo-operate with the admin, istration to that end. We believe tlmt the patriotio citizens of this nation will never entrust its monetary legisla tion to any paity under the leadership of such men as Bryan, Tillman and Altgeld. "The Republican party has always been mindful of its ,. country's defend ers, and therefore favors the policy of just and liberal pensions. " We believe that taxation'should be no higher than is required for sufficient revenue to defray the actual necessary expenses of the state; and we pledge ourselves to the most economical ad ministration of publio affairs consist ent with their business-like manage ment. "We emphatically demand the en aotment of such legislation as will se cure just and equitable freight rates to the produoers of the farm and all in dustries of the state, awarding justice alike to the producer and the. common carrier. "We favor an appeal to the general government for an additional donation of two more sections of publio land in each township to be surveyed, the pro ceeds from the sales thereof to be de voted to the construction and mainten ance of a system of publio roads. : "We recommend such legislation, or amendment, to our fundamental law as will enable us to adopt the Torrens system of registering land titles, at as early a day as the condition of our pub lio finances may justify. "In view of the alarming increase of oontempt for bur constitutional lib erties and the growing disrespect' for our government in all its branches, we demand the enaotment of more strin gent enfranchisement and immigration laws.- "The principles set forth in the Chi oago platform that it is not within' the duty and province of the federal gov enrment, whenever and wherever neo-1 essary, to protect the lives and property of all oitizens, we denounce as revolu tionary. . ... V "We reaffirm the doctrine of the founders of our government that the safeguard of our liberties and our insti tutions rest upon its judicial tribunals; and we condemn as unpatriotio the im putations of the Democratic and Popu list platform that the decisions of the supreme judioial tribunal are governed by other than honest and impartial in terpretations of the law. " ' I never think that be is quite ready for another world who is altogether weary of this. THE SYNDICATE DISSOLVED. Due to the Favorable Turn In the Fl- . nanclal Situation. New York, Aug. 81. It is under stood that, on account of the reoent favorable turn in the financial situa-, tion, the exchange syndicate may be, said to have virtually dissolved. It is said the only operation of the syndicate was the sale at one time of 240,000 of exchange. . Chairman F. B. Tappen, of the clearing-house loan committee, says no applications for loan certificates are expeoted in the near future. Tappen expressed the opinion that the imports of gold were sufficient for the time be ing to relieve the domestio money situa iton. The total amount ordered and afloat is estimated at $10,000,000. Money on call in the boardroom touched 15 per cent today, but only a small amount was loaned at that figure. A considerable amount was loaned at from 8 to 10 per cent. At extreme high figures a prominent firm broke the rate by lending $1,000,000 in scat tering amounts at 6 per cent. BULLET IN HIS BREAST. John Sevenson, a Fisherman, Found , Dead Near Astoria. Astoria, Or., Aug. 31. John Sven son, a fisherman, was found dead at Clifton this morning, with a bullet wound in his breast. At first it was thought Svenson committed suicide, but Coroner Pohl's investigation now makes it appear that it was a case of murder instead. Svenson was the keeper of the scow from which a woman and two men, whose dead bodies were afterward found, disap peared during the fisherman's strike, ft few months ago, It is surmised that Svenson knew something of the mur derers of these people, and, under the stimulus of the reward offered by tbe oounty court, was about to make some damaging disclosures, and hence his taking off. . DRAGGED TO DEATH. ''' ' .' Horrible Fate of Frank Fell in Walla Walla County. Walla Walla, Aug. 81. Frank Fell, tbe 14-year-old son of Howard Fell, living near Presoott, this oounty, was dragged to death by a horse last night. Yesterday evening he left the house, leading a horse to pasture. He did not return, and his father went out to look for him. He was found 800 yards from the house in a wheat field, dead. The body was badly mangled, while tbe horse was grazing near by, still held by the rope twisted about the boy's right wrist. Young Fell's neck was broken, both arms fractured,' and every part of . his body torn and bleed ing. Investigation showed that the horse had dragged the boy through three barb-wire fences and over 200 yards of stubble field. - . . IDAHO REPUBLICANS.

Among the merry-hearted soubrettes who amused the publio at one of the Coney Island Resorts yesterday was Mrs. Millie : Azevedo. Just before she went on the stage she received a telegram from the Spanish consul in New York, announc ing with offioial brevity that her hus band, Raymond Azeyedo, had been shot and killed in Cuba, but when and where and whether by revolutionists or royal troops, the dispatch did not state. 1 , Mrs. Azevedo said her husband was a mine'operator, 87 years old. He was a Cubln, but when she met him, in San Francisco a year and a half ago he had been in business there for several months. She was living in the same city with her parents, her maiden name being Heim. After a courtship of two months they were married. Business called Mr. Azevedo East, and his wife oame with him. In the winter he was summoned to the Azores. He left his wife well provided for, and said he would return in less than four months. Since then Mrs. Azevedo said she bad recieved no word from him. Hei funds giving out and having a good voice, she went on the stage to support herself. ,- ' ' ; .

', , Stabbed by Burglars. . , Chioago, Aug. 81. O. B. Robbins, a night watchman in the Title & Trust building, was attaoked by burglars early this morning and fatally stabbed. Robbins was in the basement when he saw two men leaving the room' with some carpenter's tools. Instead of complying with his command to halt the men turned upon Robbins with knives and stabbed him until he fell unconscious. The burglars made theii esoape. Robbins was taken to his home. ESCAPED FROM CHILI. THE DANGEROUS ADVENTURE OF DETECTIVE W. M. LUGG. , Compelled to Cross the Mountain on Muleback Taken Slek During; the Journey. From the Examiner, San Francisco, Cal, ' Four years ago, at the time of the trouble between the United States and Chili, as a result of the killing of the sailors of the U. S. S. Baltimore, in the streets of a Chilian oity, many Americans were obliged to leave the country for safety. Among them was W. M. Lugg, the private deteotive and collector, whose office is in the Crocker building, San Franoisco, Cal. When Mr. Lugg left Chili be went across the mountains into Argentine,' traveling on muleback. Mr. Lugg says that the trip is a de lightful one in point of beautiful scenery and perfect weather, but many people dislike to undertake it on ao oount of the unhealthf ul stagnant water which they are compelled to drink along the way.' Many persons have been stricken down with disease from having drank of it, and in a number of cases the attacks have proven fatal. The native Chilians drink the water without injury to their systems, but it has a bad effect upon those who are not used to it. : . . ' "I fell a viotim to the injurious qualities of the water," said Mr. Lugg. "It affected my kidneys to an alarming degree. When I got over into Argen tine I thought the trouble would grad ually leave me, but instead of that it grew more aggravated and I suffered terribly from pains in the region of my kidneys. I was en route to Chioago and I determined to reach my destina tion before the oomplaint should grow so serious as to oonflne me to my bed. Upon reaching Chicago I at onoe con sulted a physician, who told me my kidneys had been affected by drinking polluted water. He treated me for some time for that complaint, but I grew steadily worse and new ailments were added to my already serious con dition. I began to have neuralgio pains in my head, my spine was affect ed with shooting pains, and I had no oontrol over the urinary organs. It was next to impossible for me to get any sleep. I lay awake many a night suffering the most intense pains, and the physioian unable to relieve them. ; "But relief oame at last. One day one of my friends oame to my room and handed me a box of Williams' Pink Pills. Of course I laughed at him for daring to think that any patent medicine ould aid me when my physi cian had failed. I took the pills, how ever; to oblige my friend more than for any faith I had in them, and I was treated to the most joyous surprise of my life when I realized that I was be ing relieved of my pains. First the peculiar pains along my spine ceased, and then my neuralgic trouble began to grow less and finally left me entire ly. It took a good while to improve the oondition of my kidneys, but after I had taken a number of boxes of the pills I knew taht they had done theiz work successfully, for then I had re gained control of the urinary organs and the aotion of my kidneys was strong and steady. "When I thought I was out of all danger I quit taking the pills. t : The relief they had afforded was perma nent, however, and I have never sinoe felt a recurrence of the complaints. I hardly know how to praise Williams' Pink Pills as they should be praised. They certainly are 'a wonderful prepa ration. I have recommended them to a number of my friends who were suffering from kidney complaints, and they lave all been benefited by their use." ' Dr. Williams' Pink Pills oontain all the elements neoessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are for sale by all druggists, or may be had by mail from Dr. Williams' Medioine Com i'V.y, Scheneotady, N. Y., for 50 cbdts per box, or six boxes for $2. 50. Tree Climbing Rabbits. The London Field has an item that is likely to call out a discussion among English correspondents of that paper. A man writes that "when shooting with a friend in Banffshire last December' my frierrd called out, "There's a rabbit up a tree I" Sure enough one was there at least ten feet from the ground. The tree was an upright fir, and the man had seen the rabbit run up the smooth bark as easily as a squirrel. The rabbit stop ped on the first branch to look down. ! What is more, "there is a lot of blown timber in the wood, and I sup pose the rabbits have got accustomed to climbing on it, for I have often seen them jump on to a root and run up the slanting trunk till they were sometimes 15 feet from the ground, " which must have been a dizzy height for an animal of such ground habits, j , . Corroborative letters will probably come in, and rabbits will have an es tablished reputation as climber It is said that in Australia the imported rab bits 'have begun to develop hooked claws, with the aid of which they are able to climb the rabbit proof fences. A large number of animals with hab its , acquired because of environment have been noted from time to time foxes that climb trees, rats that are beasts of prey, birds that build nests adapted to certain conditions, and so on indefinitely. ; Ancient Timber. Probably the oldest timber in the world is found in the ancient temples of Egypt in connection with stone work which is known to be at least 4, 000 years old. This, the only wood used in the construction of the temples, is in the form of ties, holding the end of one tern to another. A WONDERFUL PHENOMENON. Tbe man who should pass through life with out experiencing a twinge of indigestion, might be fitly regarded as a wonderful phenomenon. We doubt if such a privileged mortal has ever existed. If so, we have never seen him. But thousands are known to be daily relieved of dyspepsia by Hostetter's 8tomaeh Bitters, the popular remedy for that truly national com plaint, as well as for fever and ague, debilltv, constipation, rheumatism and kidney troubles. : The native population of Matabele land is estimated at 160.000. 100 REWARD, SIOO.
