THE WENATCHEE DAILY WORLD, WENATCHEE, WASHINGTON, SATURDAY, «W 27, 1908.
OWNER OP 40 SECTIONS OF
DOUGLAS COUNTY LAND TRIES
TO BEG OFF PAYING $40.
Spokane, June 26.—"1 am a poor
man, gentlemen, and I have not a
cent of income from my land. My
boy and girl have worked hard to
get money for their schooling, and I
■do not think I should pay tuition,"
! testified Henry Seiler, known as the
I "richest man in Lincoln county," in
j his plea to the board of education
that he be not compelled to pay tui
tion fees for his son Herbert and his
daughter Rosa, who have been at
; tending Spokane schools.
Seiler admittedly owns more than
25,000 acres of land in the Easiera
Washington wheat belt—about forty
t full sections.
! A member of the board asked Seil
er if he was not the owner of forty
sections of land.
"Oh, ja, ja, bur it is mostly wild
land, and only 1,500 acres are under
cultivation. I have no income, noth-
I ing."
The board, however, decided that
since Sei!er*s property is all unin
cumbered, and worth considerably
more than $500,000, he would have
to pay the $4 0.

I has reached here from Rexa post

| Whit ted.
William Cox. Whitted's stepson, is
a fugitive and is being; pursued by a
posße under command of Sheriff J,
D. Logan of Douglas county. It i;
stated that Mrs. Whitted went to a
neighbor's house about 7 o'clock
Wt dnesday evening, and said that
her husband her son were quarreling.
The neighbors refused to go to the
Whitted home until she told them
°he believed her husband was dead.
Whitted was foiir.d dead with a bul
let hole in his neck, he having been
shot, from the rear. Cox, it is stat
ed, left the scene directly after the
j shoot ing occurred.

Five thousand people saw the ctr
i cus yesterday. Of this number 2,800
! visited the show in the afternoon
and over 2,000 went at night. The
admission fee was one dollar wiih
;an extra charge of fifty cents for re
served seats. Then the side show
charged 25 cents, so that in all the
] average to each person was $1.25.
On this basis the total receipts
; amounted to over $6 ; 000.
With the Norris & Rowe's circus
there were altogether three hundred
The delay of the train arriving In
Wenatchee was much of a disap
: poinfment, and, as a result, the pa
rade had to be dispensed with. The
wind blew in the afternoon which
made it extremely disagreeable, but
notwithstanding ihese annoyances
! the people went and enjoyed them
selves. As a show town, Wenatchee
surprised the circus managers, and
j there is now no question but that
[there will be a circus every year or
i two from this on.
The only disappointing feature in
: the show was the fact, that the ad
mission price was raised from the
regular show price of 50 cents to a
dollar for tickets. The management
did not carry out their agreement
I with the city council that the charge
was to be fifty cents.
Notwithstanding this, everybody
i went and was apparently satisfied.
| The old-time circus atmosphere was
present at this show. The bespan
i gled ladies and gentlemen on the fat
! horses, the acrobatic, performers, the
! clowns and the chariot, elephant and
! camel races, the trained animals
I were all there. The dust was fierce
. but no one left the tent on account

I A new man with the circus yes
j terday was told to go around 10 the
I cook and ask him for the "elephant
blacking." He went, but he didn't
sip. the blacking, as the cook inform
ied him it had been locked up in the
bread box.
The circus 'people ma le a good
houl out of the Wenatchee public
but the' next circus that comes along
will not be allowed to charge $1 for
tickets unless it has first published
that fac: and has paid a good fat
fee into the • ity treasury. ■
Some short changing was attempt

The Llama in the animal show
was one of the greatest attrac

FUNERAL OE THE
EX-PRESIDENT
SERVICES CHARACTERIZED BY
EXTREME SIMPLICITY.—MANY
DISTINGUISHED PERSONS AT
TEND.
Princeton, N. J., June 26.—As
the American flag droops at half
mast around the world and hall
hour guns are booming at every mili
tary station of the nation from Sandy-
Hook to the antipodes, a distinguish
ed array of the leading officials of the
United States gathered here today to
pay their last respects to Stephen
Grover Cleveland, twice president of
the United States.
The only sign of military display
was the lines of soldiers guarding
the route of the cortege and this was
for the protection of the living rather
than for the honor of the dead presi
dent, who loved peace and simplicity.
The old town of Princeton is
crowded with a throng such as it
never saw before. Thousands have
come here to whness the passing of
the cortege through the streets. The
line was crowded hours before 5
o'clock, the time set for the funeral
procession to start.
Mrs. Cleveland spent much of her
time today with her two elder chil
dren, Richard and Esther, who came
here from 1 their summer home in
New Hampshire. She is bearing up
well under the strain, and it is be
lieved she will be able to pass
through the ordeal safely.
As soon as President Roosevelt ar
rived at the house the ministers be
gan the simple service of the
Presbyterian church. The crowd in
the streets without was hushed and
the whole city seemed to be joining
in the ceremonies within the house.
There was no anthem, no music
and the ministers pronounced no eu
logy. It was perhaps the simplest
ceremony ever carried out over the
body of a man who had been the
head of a great nation and died when
that nation was still in the height of
its power and bis memory still hon
ored and beloved.
The casket was placed 'n the
hearse by the pall bearers wßjj.. Ih-v
cortege formed without inciden'.
moving slowly down Bayard Lane
away from the residence. There was
no escort other than that formed by
the. pail bearers who walked beside
the horses.
In the first carriage were Dr. H.
Van Dyke, Dr. V.'. K. Richards, the
Rev. S. W. Beach and the Rev. M. V.
Bartlett, the four ofriciaiing minis
ters.
In the second carriage, Mrs. Cleve
land, with Richard Cleveland, elder
son, and Dr. Joseph D. Bryant, the
intimate friend and physician' of the
former president.
The third carriage contained Miss
Rose Cleveland, sister, and Miss
Esther Cleveland, the eldest daugh
ter of the deceased.
President Roosevelt, with Mrs.
RoosevHt and Secretary Loeb, occu
pied a carriage immediately follow
ing those of the family.
The pallbearers walked beside the
hearse. They are: Mayor George B.
McClellan, of New York; Paul Mor
ton, former secretary of the navy;
Commodore E. ,C. Benedict of New
York; Richard Watson Gilder, editor
of the Century Magazine; Professor
Paul Van Dyke of Princeton Univer
sity; Dean Andrew F. West and Pro
fessor John G. Hibben of Princeton;
Junius S. Morgan, nephew of J. P.
Morgan; A. D. Russell, Professor Mc-
Lenahan and Bayard Stockton of this
city.
At the grave, the simple burial ser
vice was read and the body of the
man who twice held tii* 1 greatest hon
or wifhlh the gift of his people, was
lowered into the earth and themame
of. Stephen Grover Cleveland passed
into history. %

I. A. Navarre of Wenatchee is In

state land commissioner on the re

"I have entered the field against
Mr. Ross for the office of state land
commissioner upon a platform that I

good of the state and not in the in

record as a citizen and business man
in your community is such that I

BOILS DEPOT
| EVERETT ALARMED AT REPORT
RECEIVED FROM SEATTLE OF
CHANGE IN PLANS.
■
! Everett. Jim" 2f>.-—An Everett
' business man who was in Seattle
yesterday afternoon brought ba.^lc
the disquieting rumor, which he got
I from a railroad contractor there,
I that the Great Northern had decided
!to defer indefinitely the construction
of a depot at Everett.
It was stated that the plan wis to
make some temporary addition to
the present depot facilities and let
; the $100,000 depot project rest for a
time, the inference being that de t I
jopments in railroad building in ihla
section might make it desirable to
\ very greatly alter the Great North
-1 em's plans.
This rumor is in flat contradiction
lof the promise, made by General
I Manager Gruber, of the Great. Nor*h
iern, when he was in Everett a fe»v
' months ago, for he said work would
I begin on the $10,0,00,0. depot by the
first of July.
| But there have been develooments
lin Seattle and Portland, in the past
few preeks which indicate that the
i Great Northern" aftd the Southern
! Pacific are on quite friond'y terms,
land it. may be that the interests of
'some other road now on the way to
Everett may be responsible for the
| change in the.Great Northern's plan
•as to the depot.
i It is certain that if the com.v ny
was ready to go ahead with construc
tion of the depot when General Man
ager Gruber was here three montlis
jago the reason for postponeme.ic
: now is not financial.
No one authorized to speak au
thoritatively for the Great Northern
j could be reached last evening.
