Political matters In the city are beginning
to attract a great deal of attention , and
nlthough the election Is still a long way
off , more Interest Is being felt by candidates
and voters than oidlnarlly marks the be
ginning of the city campaUns Just prior to
the party conventions , The populists have
called their convention for next Tuesday
cvcnlnd , n month earlier than Is usual for
any party convention. The populist leaders
have not taken the public Into their con
fidence to nny very great extent , but It Is
smmlsed from the fact that they have called
their convention first , with the Intention of
nominating a full city ticket , that their
plan Is to fotcc the democrats to endorse
some of their candidates. This Indicates that
there Is not that hcaity accord between the
populist leaders nnd the democratic lenders
that has prevailed lu the past and that the
populists Intend to resort to coercive meas
ures to enforce recognition
1 ho republican organization Is In excellent
shape and Is prepared for a < < iitatantl.il vic
tory at the polls on the last Monday In
March There has , however , been some dis
arrangement of the plira that wcro an
nounced a muith ago. All the candidates
on the ticket were carefully selectel then
and the arrangements were made for the
proper endorsement of the convention. The
postolllce fight was tliea regarded ns being
fully nettled and J P Grccnshlclds wns to
bo the tutidldatc foi major. The Indecision
of Congressman Hagcr gave Grccnshlolds
lOjhon to hope that the appointment to be
poatmantcr might jet fall to him If ho per
severed nnJ lie has beeu vlgorouslj shaking
the tree to dislodge the olllelal plum lu the
hope that It would fall Into his basket. The
matter Is still somewhat undecided , nl
though there IH little rc.ason to doubt that
I. M. Trevnor can dlopcsc of the appoint
ment If he docd not chose to take It him
self The compromises that have been taig-
gcsted between the two aspirants have leu
the majorally candidacy In doubt
There Is no lack of candidates , however ,
and the condition of things may eventuallj
become such that Major Carsc/i will again
bo the candidate This possibility Is fa
vored by the situation of the ollleo of citj
pttornuj" Mayor Carson was booked for this
olllce but there have nppcared other cnndl-
datcs with a pull thnt has disorganized
things One of these Is H. J. Chambers ,
whoso friends nre becoming nctlvo and ng
gressivo In demanding his nomination. The
present Incumbent , Mr Hazelton , has held
the olllco for four terms and for two j-ears
ban been deputy clerk of the federal court
His administration hus been veiy satlsfnc-
torj- , but ho la not being pubhcd for another
term.
All of the other officers , city treasure ! ,
auditor , engineer and about all of the re
publican members of the council whoso
terms expire are booked for renomlnntlon.
Alexander Wood has been suggested as the
republican candidate for the council from
the First ward , but has not consented. He
Is being strongly urged to make a fight for

The physical condition of the High school
discovered by the Investigating committee
sent there by the Ooard of Education has
been the cause of a great deal of comment.
A largo number of people are Inclined to
doubt the accuracj' of the estimate of danger
reported to the board. J. G. Hollenbcck ,
who was engageJ In the work of con
structing the building , but Had no Interest
In the contract. Is of the opinion that the
building is one of the strongest and safest
in the ' 'Ity He sajs the fact that there Is
not a crack In the walls trom the foundation
to the roof Is evidence of their strength and
duiable character. The sagging of the floors
can bo accounted for on the ground of the
natural tendency of the cottonvvood Joists to
vuirp and twist , but Is not an Indication of
dangerous weakness The tagging of five
Inches In the center of the Joists would not
shorten them sufllclently to make It possible
to weaken their footings on the side walls ,
and a number of builders and mechanics
familiar with the character of cottonwood
timbers laugh at the Idea of there being any
dnnper of the building collapsing under the
weight thnt Is being placed upon It. It has
stood for twenty-seven years , and mechanics
who set up to b ( familiar with Its condition
for nearly all of this long period assert that
there Is not any perceptible change lu the
floors In the last twenty years.
The danger from flro has given a great
deal of concern. The whole center of the
building Is dependent upon the wooden sup
ports from the basement to the roof. The
only otalrwajs are In thli portlcci. Ten
jears or more ago the question of da"ger
from flro was discussed and the Io.atd ! of
education then In control authorized the
construction of thu present outside stairway
for a fire escape All of the upper rooms
could bo vacated by the use of this stalr-
vvaj In a few minutes. The grave danger
lies In the Itiflsmmablo character of the cen
ter Htalnvajs and wooden jartltlons resting
en nothing but pine plera from top to bet
tom. "In my opinion , " said a contractor
and builder jesterday , who has no Interest
In the matter except that of a taxpajer ami
citizen , "the proper thing to do Is to tear
out the wooden partitions and their wooden
supports and replace them with Ircn trusbcs
and brick walls , Flro could not then Jeopar
dize the very heart of the building and
threaten the lives of the pupils. None of the
school buildings are fire proof. I cannot
helv thinking the public has been given a
good deal of irpccctuary alarm , H Is well
enough to place the brick piers under the
stairway which the board las ordered ( o be
done , but It could bo done at any time and
without giving the public the terrific shock
It l'is rccrlved from the publication of the
Investigating committee's report. "

Dairy Commissioner Iloardman l.as filed with
the governor his annual report for the jcar
ending May 1 last. In the last five jears the
\3alry Indiwtry IMS extended wonderfully
There are now 891 creameries In the state ,
of which nearly 100 wcro built during the
jcir coveted by this report. A striking
fact Is that TO per cent of the nroJuct o !
the creameries Is shipped to New York and
that of thlj a largo proportion goes abroad
It Is a very few jears since Iowa butter
found Its first market abroad. Mr. Board-
man suggests a strong argument In favor of
a good Iowa exhibit at the Omaha exposition
Me sajii that loua butter never found a
market In the cast until 1S7C , when the
magnificent butter exhibit made at the Cen
tennial Exposition attracted attention to
Iowa and won Its dairy products recognition
From that beginning Iowa butter had won
Ita way everywhere , till now the product of
the Iowa creamery Id one of tbo largest items
of the state's Income The Mate's exhibit
at the Chicago fair helped greatly In open
ing the foreign market to Iowa butter , and
Mr ftoardtuan Itslsti that > i proper showIng -
Ing at Omaha would be worth ten times Its
cost , within a very few years , on this ac
count alone.
The Texas fever scare of last fall In the
southwest part of the utate and the trouble
over tubercuIosU In cuttle have combined to
attract bpechU attention to crevcutton ot did.
In cattle The state veterinarian has
little authority In such cases. He cannot ef
fectively enforce quarantine of suspected
herds or condemn animals to be killed If
they are found diseased. Senator Kmruert ,
who for a long term of years has served on
the State Hoard of Health and had bis at
tention called especially to the danger of
tuberculosis being transmitted from cattle
to hurrciii beings through the milk ot dis
eased animals , has presented a bill to en
large the powers of the veterinarian. In such
cases and enable him to take effective ac
tion to stamp out tuberculcals wherever It
may appear. The bill will probably pass.

A clergyman who was called upon to advhc
In a family where strife was frequent and
whcio the husband usually wore a furtive
and alarmed appearance , asked the wife why
she did not observe the bible rule when she
was annoyed and heap coals of flrc on the
head of her helpmeet. She had not thought
of that , she said , though "she had tried
bllln' hot water and It didn't seem to do no
good " A Justice In this borough , relates the
Hrooklyn naglo , was nsked a day or two
ago to adjudicate In the case of a husband
who stajed out late at night. The wife went
to court about It. The justice could not
find any law that obliged husbands to be
back from the lolgo by 10 , but ho had feel
ings , and ho counseled the woman to take
the law Into her own liandi. Having read
about the reply to the clcrgjman he recom
mended the wife to trj- hot water and a
broom , leaving her to apply them In the
manner nnd order thnt brat pleased her
If scalding water Is plentifully poured over
the scalp and the scalp Is then tubbed In
dustriously , with the straw end of a broom ,
thn process will remove superfluous hair In
a few dajs , though the operator Is at this
subsequent disadvantage1 that there Is no
other hair left to take hold of when It Is
necessary to secure attention In an argu
ment. Indeed It ought to bo unneccEcmry to
resort to violence In order to establish
domestic peace. Some kinds of a husband
can bo trained Into proper behavior by easier
methods Hiding his boots has often kept
him In all night , especially when the snow
was deep. The establishment of a side
board has oven made him a willing prisoner
Taking away his night key If ho Is not In
at 9 , often has a good effect , and ho has a
studied neglect In the matter of allowances
for caramnls and matinee tickets. Hot
water and brooms are not advised , except as
n last resort.

George ricmlng , who has Just been con
victed and sent to the state penitentiary nt
Walla Walla , Wash. , to servo two and one-
half years for obtaining money under false
pretenses from Attorney Itlchardsou of Tort
Angeles , has made a confession , which , If
It wcro not corroborated by moro than 100
letters from different Masonic loJgea In the
United States and other countries , would bo
received with Incredulity. Fleming Is a
bogus Mason , BBJB the Seattle I'ost-lntelll-
gcnccr , > et so skillfully has he applied lilm-
self that ho has been complimented by past
grand masters on his knowledge of Masonry.
I3y his own admissions ho has ll\cd for eight
years on money borrowed , under false pre
tenses , from Masons , amounts varjlng from
$10 to several hundred , or , as ho told ex-
sheriff of King county , A. T Van do Vantcr ,
"according to the circumstances and the
times. " The total amount of money thus
obtained will probably reach $20,000 , but he
has borrowed bo much that he docs not pre
tend to recite all the Instances.
Ho baa traveled all over the world and
never spent a cent for railroad or Btcamcr
transportation , lie has had so many aliases
that he cannot name them all. IIu was
Known In Mississippi as Prof. Wllley , In
Kentucky as Alexander Craig , In I'ciinsjl-
vanla as William 'Hall , In Cincinnati and
Chicago as Charles Wilson , In St Louis na
William Ma > s , In Washington as Martin
Mallory , In Oregon as Charles Drown and
Charles rioyil. In foreign countries he
passed himself oft as Mallory , Klcmlng ,
Wllley or Hall. Once in a while he went as
John II. Klmberly.
In Paris ho claims to have met and dined
with the prlnco of Wales and Sir Ditll ( < < >
Ward For dessert ho borrowed $130 from
the pilnco on the strength of Masonrj. In
Madrid he worked Il.innls Taj lor for free
transportation to the rock of Gibraltar by
tlio way of Cadiz. Things cjme his way In
every city in o\ery countiy He wanted for
nothing because ho had a snap on the Ma
sonic fraternity.
HIS CONFESSION .
"Several jcars ago I assumed ithe name
of Wllley and vlslteJ Hralnerd's lodge ,
Minnesota. " said Fleming In his confession
"I told the master of the loJgc that I desired
to make a trip up country , ami would like
a Masonic letter of introduction to H. M.
Moirlson , the lumberman * He gave me a
ccrtlllcate , bo'h in chapter and blue lodge ,
with heals , vouching for mo without knowing
me , except as a. visitor. " Having shown ho\v
easy It was to get credentials through his
Knowledge of Mnsonrj , Flumlng proceeded as
follows"About 1S83 , during the boom at
Garden City , Kan , I visited the lodge there
under the name of Prof Wllley , and re
heat scd the work with the inst grand master
and custodian of thu vviirk of the state , Mr.
Cogwlll. Ho openly complimented me as be
ing the brightest Mas&u he had ever talked
with. I have also -visited Kllzavlllc lodge ,
'
No 510 , Fleming county , Kentucky , repre
senting m > self as Alexander Craig. I have
also c'almed membership In this lodge I have
\lsltcd two different lodges In Seattle , but do
not recall their names , as It was several
> ears ngo I visited the lodges in Portland ,
Oie. As William Uall I visited Ionic lodge
Xo.ISfi , New York , claiming membership
Resuming the name of Wllley , In the course
of my travels , I made mjself friendly at the
Lake Charles lodge , Mississippi. I have been
present at all the lodges In Philadelphia ,
Pa , under the name of William Pall. I
alto recall a visit to Lander lodge No. 8 ,
Austin , Nov. I passed myself off as William
Hall and Incidentally claimed membership.
Under the alias of Charles Wilson I have
visited all the lodges in Cincinnati. O , nnd
several in Chlcgo. On visiting St 1/ouln ,
Mo. , I changed my name to William Majs ,
and had no trouble during my visits to the
different Masonic lodges. Several jcars ago
I visited n lodge at Port Tovvmend , Wash ,
but I do fet recall -what name I gwve or
under what circumstances I happened to
make the visit.

hotel , and , In conve-rsatlon with a bartender
who wore four or five badges , while we
weio both r.ult drunk , ho told me ho could
get a receipt for Masonic dues in any lodge
In the country. All a man had to know , he
said , was the degrees.
FORGED MASONIC RECEIPTS.
"This man vv.s a night bartender In a
saloon within two blocks of the hotel , but
I do not remember the exact location. I
asked him what It would cost me for these
recclpth and ho replied , ' $ S for a do/en
or two. He introduced mt to a man named
L ° vy , who was 10 or 50 years old , and , as
well as I can remember , kept a seeond-hiiid
startanjwaj ; , tlicto were all Kinds of goods
In It. I paid Levy $13 for four receipts
which ho tilled out under the follow ing
names Mai tin , Mallory , George Fleming ,
Pi of Wllley and William Hall. Out of the
$13 , $10 went for the receipts and $3 fet
sealing. After securing the receipts I took
a steamer to Victoila H. C. , and then went
to Tacoma. From there I went to Oregon ,
then back to Pugct sound , and finally to
California , where 1 lemaljicd most of the
time until spring I was In many different
places In California , borrowing money ub
I went from place to pi ice. I remember
getting money at Marjsvllle , ( Sacramento
and San Jose. "
After Mallory or Fleming had finished his
confession , he was asked If ho vlslteJ lodges
to borrow money. "No , " ho replied , "I
visited lodges ns a recreation. I do not re
call only ono visit to a ledge for the nur-
pose of getting mcney. On being asked
about his visit to Port Angeles when he
borrowed money he said tl.at ho was In Vic
toria and went over to Port Angeles on a llt-
tlo steamer. He told the Masoiw In Port
Angeleg that he bud come there because he
did not want to make himself known to the
Engllsbmcn.
"Have jou bcoin In any business for the
last eight years' " i\as asked. "No , sir , " re
plied Mallory "I have practically lived off
Masons , but have also made winnings at
cards "
This remarkable swindler Is not a Mason ,
jet ho Is conversant with the entire secret
work. Once while ho was In Efllngliani
England , ho visited a lodge- , thinking he wiih
not known. Just before the close of the
lodge the maMcr arose and said
"Brothers , Mr Wllloy has been vouched
for by the committee and ban sat with us
tonight. I did not notice him until the
third degree was nearly conferred. He is
not a member of a lodge In good standing ,
but jou have Icct nothing , as none of us
are able to teach htm anjthlcig. For this
reason I did not disturb the procepdlngs. "

"Too late Should have been used on the
