O. Lee, of the firm of Lee & Bolin,
of Toppenluh. was in the city yester
day, and put the document on file
with the clerk of the court- Here's
where the nice legal point comes in.
According to Mr. Lee, the informa
tion which was thrown out by Judge
Preble on demurrer, contained tha
allegation that H D. Herod was
about to usurp the office of Mayor of
Zillah. At the time of the filing the
information Mr. Herod had received
his certificate of election from D. A.

had not yet taken office.

face of the returns at the election

official seat.
LINCOLN SHEEP WILL
SOON LOSE FLEECES
H. Stanley Coffin Returns From a
Visit to the Flock Which is
Rapidly Increasing
H. Stanley Coffin has returned to
the city from Kennewlck where ho
went a few days ago to look after
sheep he has there. He reports that
lambs have already begun to arrive
in his band of 1,200 pure bred Lin
colns and that up to the time he left
the increase in the flock was 200 per
cent, every sheep having produced
twins. The weather was cold and
wet at Kennewlck and as a result
shearing operations had not been un
dertaken. It Is planned, however, to
shear quite a number of sheep there
this and next month and to keep them
in sheds until the weather permits of
running them In the open altogether.
The early shearing is b-lng done aa
an experiment.
The head that wears the crown in
China is not half so uneasy as the

it difficult to escape wltliuut getting a

TAFT SOUNDS KEYNOTE
FOR COIRC AMPAIGN
President Is Willing to Make
Tariff the Paramount Issue
Will Abide by Verdict
CLEVELAND, Jan. 29.—President
Taft's three-day visit in Ohio began
in Cleveland today and before he
had retired he had spoken on peace
and arbitration, talked Ohio politics
with the leading republicans and
sounded the "keynote" for the com
ing presidential campaign.
At the McKinley day banquet given
by the Tippecanoe club here tonight
th« president made a stirring appeal
to the republican party to stand by
Its guns and rent confident that it has
carried out Its pledges. He declared
he would face the future with equa
nimity and In the belief that the Judg
ment of the country would prove him
right in his opinion
The president indicated by his at
tention to the tariff that he was will
ing to go into the campaign on that
issue alone. He declared the demo
crats were deceiving themselves in
believing the elction of 3 910 was a
declaration in favor of free trade or a
tariff for revenue. The successes he
naid were due not to the Increased
democratic votes but by the falling
off of republican votes of those mem
bers of the party who stayed at home
and refused to stand by the party In
what they regarded as a failure to
redeem its pledges.

DEMOCRATS RAILROAD
METAL TARIFF REVISION
Republican Debate Shut Off and
Vote Forced by Democratic
Leader Underwood
Washington, Jan. L'9.—Democratic
metal tariff revision to make reduc
tions averaging 85 per cent from the
existing Iron duties of the Payne-Ald
rich law passed the house today by a
vote of 209 to 109. Republican efforts
to amend or debate the bill were
brought to a sudden end when Demo
cratic Leader Underwood refused to
permit offering further amendments
and forced the house to a final vote. I
Twenty Insurgent republicans In
cluding I-afferty of Oregon, and na
Follette and Wafburton, Washington,
voted for the measure, while the dem
ocratic delegation from Colorado dis
satisfied with the great reduction pro
posed In load tariff voted against the
democratic majority. Among tha re
publican Insurgents who voted against
the bill was French, Idaho.
The regular republicans protested to
the last against the application of
the rules closing debate and Under
wood was charged with "ruthless ap
plication" of the force of the demo
cratic majority. The bill faces a
stormy reception in the senate tomor
row where It will be sent to the fi
nance committee. Both republican
and democratic senators have been
deferring other legislation with a view
to concentrating their attention ON
tariff measures as they emerge from
the house, tat no course of action has
been mapped out.
A Story With a Moral
The following story is going the
rounds: A young man concluded that
the home merchant did not advertise
a very good line of clothing, bo he sent
to a mail order house to get something
Strictly up to date. When the suit ar.
rived he found in the panti) pocket a
note reading this way: "Should this
should full into tha hands of a good
looking young man who desires to cor
respond with a young lady of sweet
disposition, kindly address, etc." The
young man promptly sent a letter to
the addPSSS and In a fsw days re
