MAY TEST GAMBLING LAW.
Case Against Dave Argyle Is Set Down
for Trial Next Week.
SEATTLE. Wash., Dec. 9.—Dave W.
Argyle, who before the state law mak
ing gambling a felony went into ef
fect, was one of the big gamblers of
Seattle, will be tried before a jury in
Judge Tallman's court on December
12. Argyle was arrested in a raid on a
big gambling establishment at George
town on June 9 of this year.
Faro bank was in full blast and a
large amount of gambling material was
seized- as evidence. Argyle, as the re
puted proprietor of the games, was
arrested, and a complaint was filed
against him in the criminal court by
Prosecuting Attorney Scott, on infor
mation .furnished by a member of the
Civic Union.
While no declaration has been made
it is expected that in the event an ad
verse verdict is rendered that the case
will be appealed to the supreme court,
and the question of the constitutional-
ity of the law settled once and for all
time.

"I was much afflicted with sciatica,"
writes Ed C. Nud, lowaville, Sedgwick
Co., Kan., "going about on crutches
and suffering a deal of pain. I was
induced to try Ballard's Snow Lini
ment, which relieved me. I used three
50c bottles. It is the greatest lini
ment I ever used; have recommend
ed it to a number of persons; all ex
press themselves as being benefited
by it. I new walk without crutches,
able to perform a great deal of light
labor on the farm." 25c, 50c, $1.00.

Long Island Village's Peculiar Record
Promises Place's Extinction.
ORIENT. L. 1.. Dec, 9,-In this vil
lage. which has a population of about
SOO. there has not in 25 years been a
divorce. If there are no divorces, there
are few marriages. Spinsters and
bachelors abound. A prominent man
in discussing this question yesterday
said:
"I'nless people come in from outside
the population of the village will de
crease so that in fifty years from now
there will only be one family left."
Vienna Plans Tax on Chorus Girls.
VIENNA, Dec. 9.—The Vienna tax
department has been trying to solve
the problem of taxing the members of
the corps de ballet of the opera.
Investigation proved that many of
them lived in luxurious apartments,
the rent of which was entirely out of
proportion with their salary. An at
tempt was made to question the
dansuese themselves, but such a wave
of indignation arose in theatrical cir
cles that the officials had to desist.
It has been decided that the income
of the coryphees shall hereafter be
calculated as quadruple the rent they
pay for their apartments, instead of
basing it on the wages they receive,
from the opera company.

A ROUNDER'S CORNER
A Pendleton man has asked an in
junction to prevent his wife from
talking. Some people cherish the il
lusion that the courts have supreme
power.
Rounder has stacked up against some
queer ones up to date, and his experi
ence may not have been the widest at
that. But the peculiarities of people
that one is likely to run across is of
ten discussed by those who have con
tracted the discussing habit. A busi
ness man? Rounder was talking to the
other day admitted that he didn't read
any of the local papers—in fact, or any
outside daily papers. Couldn't spare
the time to do any such thing, etc.
This man, Rounder believes, is making
a serious, mistake. Let him follow his
i present course long enough and his
little world will become so narrow and
infinitesimally small that life to him
j will become a great burden —or else
!he will be a burden to any friends
!he can lay claim to. In fact, such a
! man who can do his three-score and
ten without mixing it up with the
padded cell will do exceedingly well. A
man owes it to himself and to the
community in which he lives to keep
posted on the events of the day. And
the best way he can keep posted' is to
try and arrange for a few minutes
each day to look over a daily paper.
And if he happens to live in Walla
Walla he might do worse things than
to make it a Walla Walla paper—
say, one that is published in the even
ing.
* * *
In a haberdasher's store one day this
week. Rounder noticed a man enter
who opened it up with one of the clerks
something like this:
"Say, my young friend, untie that
parcel. It contains some things my
wife bought for me yesterday and I
want to exchange 'em if you will allow
it."
The clerk willingly started in to
comply with his customer's request
and when the package was opened a
prize parcel of shirts and neckwear
was exhibited for sure. The quality
of the stuff was all right. But the
colors! Run along and sell your pa
pers! In the neckties pink and canary
hues had the undisputed right of way,
while, so far as the shirts were con
cerned, peacock blue or some such
similar color was the whole show. Af
ter a satisfactory exchange had been
concluded and the man had departed
Rounder, born inquisitive, asked the
clerk if he had many such customers
as the one he had just waited on.
"Yes, such 'exchanges' as I just now
made are a common everyday occur
rence with us," he replied.
"You see it's this way," he went on,
"many married men leave the buying
of their shirts, collars, etc., to their
wives—at least it is my experience
that they do after they have been
married some years."
Without giving Rounder sufficient
time to reflect on the information
conveyed in the final clause of his last
remark, the clerk continued:
"Ladies as a rule are good shoppers
and we are always pleased to wait on
'em. Most of 'em know just what will
suit Henry or George as the case may
be. But while all this is true there
are some ladies who can never hit it
right when it comes to their husband's
taste in neckwear and shirts. Why,
that man I just 'fixed up' is a regular
exchanger' and among our customers
we have many others. And here is
something, too. not a few of the 'ex
changes' similar to the one you just
saw, are made rather stealthily, and
the first purchasers never hear of it.
Guess the men find that that is the
easiest way out of it —at least the
younger married men ,do for they are
the ones who usually caution us to
say nothing,"
When through putting his goods
away the clerk started in to hand out
some additional'informa' on regarding
"exchanges" but Rounder had to go
and so heard no more.

IS DROWNED IN A WASHTUB.
Einer Sjobloom Meets Death In Pecu
liar Manner at Astoria.
ASTORIA, Dec. 10.—To live 26 years
and then be drowned in a w-ash tub
was the fate of a young Finn named
Einer Sjobloom, who came here last
week from Enderby, B. C. With his
head submerged in the water, which
about one-third filled the tub, and his
arms resting on the edges of the tub,
THE EVENING STATESMAN SATURDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1904.
Sjobloom's body was found at the home
of J. A. Eakin.
On his arrival from British Colum
bia the young man went to Andrew
Karl's place and secured a room. That
evening he talked with Mrs. Karl, and
his questions created the impression
that he was mentally unbalanced. He
remained there over n'ght and left
the next day. The next morning, when
Mr. Eakin got up, he saw a man lean
ing over the tub, but at first paid no
attention to the circumstances, sup
posing that it was a neighbor after
water. However, when he saw the
man there some time later, he con
cluded that something was wrong and
made an investigation. He 'found the
body of the young stranger. Water in
Sjobloom's lungs showed that he had
been drowned, and at first it was sup
posed he had committed suicide. Cor
oner Pohl, however, expresses the
opinion that Sjobloom took a
urday night, and suffering from thirst,
placed his head in the wash-tub. The
coroner thinks the man must have
grown faint and that he was unable to
raise himself.
SCANDIA PRINCESS LOSING SIGHT
Victoria of Sweden and Norway, Future
Queen, May Be Blind.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 10.—
News has reached here that the Crown
Princess Victoria of Sweden and Nor
way, the wife of Crown Prince Gus
taf, is in danger of losing her sight. It
is said she is now at Wiesbaden un
der the care of the distinguished oc
ulist, Professor Pagenstecher.
The crown princess, who upon her
husband's accession to the throne will
become queen of Norway and Sweden,
was married Sept. 20, 1881. She has
three sons, the oldest being Prince
Gustaf Adolf, duke of Scania, born
Nov. 11, 1882.
For several years the crown prin
cess almost has been a stranger in
Sweden. She is an invalid, suffering
from numerous ailments, including an
affection of the lungs, and the rigor
ous climate of Sweden never has
agreed with her.
Prince Fushimi In New York.
XEW YORK, Dec. 10—Mayor Mc-
Clellan had Prince Fushimi as a guest
at dinner today. Others present in
cluded prominent representatives of the
commercial and financial interests of
the metropolis. The prince has ar
ranged to leave next Tuesday on his
homeward journey. En route to San
Francisco he will stop at Chicago, Den
ver and possibly one or two other
points, his arrangements in this re
gard not having been perfected as yet.
HARRISON WILL QUIT.
Chicago's Mayor Reiterates Intention
to Retire.
CHICAGO, 111., Dec. 10.—In view of
the fact that Mayor Harrison's re
peated statements that he is not a can
didate for renomination or re-election
have not stopped the discussion of his
possibilities, he added another dec
laration of principles -to the previous
ones yesterday, and made the last
without any "strings."
"I am not a candidate for re
nomination," he said, "and I am not
a candidate for re-election. I shall not
allow my name to be used in any way.
I thought I had made the statement
plain enough, but I can reiterate it."
