KILLS BIS WIFE.
Wild With Jealousy A. J. McKeniie Then
Blows Out His Own Brains.
SEATTLE, August 13. Enraged by
wild jealousy of his wife and by her
difference to him, Alexander J. Mc
Keniie rushed into his former home at
19 Jackson street, at 10:30 this morn
ing, and after felling his 13-year-old
daughter, Alma, with the butt of his
revolver, sent a bullet through the brain
f his wife. After firing twice more at
the dead body, he took the muzsle of
the weapon in his mouth and blew out
Vis brains.
McKetuie and his wife have been mar
lied for 20 years. Four months ago
the wife entered suit for divorce in the
local courts. It is supposed that Me-
Xenzie has been brooding over this ever
aince, and that the culmination has been
the murder and suicide. McKemie did
not attempt to shoot his daughter. The
girl tried to protect her mother and
grappled with bim. It was then that
he struck her over the head with the
revolver. The blow rendered her un
conscious
tragedy.

STOP TAX GRAFT.
CHEHALIS, Wash., August 13. The
Weyerhaeuser Timber Company, the
Continental and other large holders, as
well as all the smaller timber owners
who have timber holdings in Lewis
county on which the county's cruisers
have made report will receive notice
within the next two of three days to
appear before the Lewis county equali
zation board and show cause why their
valuation on timber land holdings
should not be wised. Some of the raises
are 50. some 100 and some 200 per cent.
It has been found that certain sections
wlieh have heretofore been turned in at
ridiculously low valuations are worth
vastly more than they have been repre
sented to be worth and it is charged
gafnst the Weyerhaeuser Company that
one section which their agents have rep
resented as burned over and practically
worthless has on it more than 60,000,000
feet of fine timber. The board and
Cruiser Clinton are at Seattle and Ta
coma consulting with the authorities
there in regard to the cruises in King
and Pierce counties.

COAL SUPPLY WARNING.
WASHINGTON, August 13.-The In
terstate Commerce Commission today
made public certain 'correspondence with
railroad and state oflicer as a warning
to people in the Northwest that unless
they lay in supplies of coal this summer
they may again experience a fuel famine
next winter. Last winter thousands of
persons in the Northwest suffered keen
ly owing to the coal famine.
The federal government, state authoi
ties and railroad officers are active in
an effort to have fuel supplies put in
now in order that the famine of last
winter may not recur. In a leter to the
commission Howard Elliott, president of
the Northern Pacific Railroad, said:
"If there should happen to be another
long cold winter in the Northwest, such
as the last one there may be trouble
again about the providing of adequate
fuel supplies unless consumers will buy
ahead of time. Our company had added
very largely to its equipment in the last
13 months, but the country is growing,
so that more and more fuel is needed,
and I doubt if it can all be handled after
the cold weather sets in."
The federal government intends to see
to it that all its departments in Western
states are fully supplied with fuel be
fore autumn. Orders to this effect have
been issued by the Secretary of War and
the Secretary of the Interior.

J. Federsen, longshoreman, living at
013 Commercial street, Astoria, Oregon,
says: For 20 years I was afflicted in
one way or another with kidney trouble.
I suffered a great 'deal of pain in the
small of the back and was continually
tied and nervous. I had occasional head
aches, and also a blurring of the eye
sight. Every time I took cold it settled
in the kidneys and added to my troubles,
the secretions at such times being ir-
regulr an containing sediment. My rest
was much disturbed at night on this
account. I began taking Doan's Kidney
Pills, procured at Charles Rogers' drug
tore, and found unerpected relief, for
which I am very thankful."

HARRIMAN WILL CONTROL.
NEW YORK August 13. Peace and
harmony instead of predicted discord
and bickering, prevailed yesterday at
the annual meeting of the shareholders
of Wells-Fargo A Company. No opposi
tion to the llarrimau control, like that
which developed at laH year's meeting,
was revealed yesterday and all the re
tiring directors were re-elected. The
question of distributing the assets of
the company was not discussed. The
board of director will hold a meeting
for organization within a few days.
The peaceful character of yesterday's
annual meeting was In marked contrast
with that of last year, when the minor
ity shareholders attacked the Harriman
management in an effort to wrest from
it the control of the company. On that
occasion William Nelson Cromwell made
the famous remark that E. II. lltirriman
moved in a higher world" of fiimix.
into which ordinary shareholders should
not dare to introdue themselves. The
Harriman management however, was vic
torious in the encounter and has forti
fied itself further in its position since
then.
It was believed until the meeting yes
terday that the directors were consider
ing a plan for the distribution of a por-
ion of the company's accumulated ur-
plus, either in the form of an additional
dividend or in new securities. The op
position which appeared at last year's
meeting was the outgrowth of dissatis
faction over the company's dividend
P'i.-y. The director partly modified
the insurrectionists before the annual
meeting by - increasing the disbursement
from 8 to 10 per cent.
Both the American and Adams Ex
press companies have increased their dis
bursements to shareholders within the
last year, the latter by a 200 per cent
security distribution in the form of col
lateral trust bonds.
