HlOuSs II ~ one OF LnOSe CllIlatlC uThW-
backs that no one can forsee or guard
against.
One Of the heaviest transactions in city
property that has yet been made was con-
summated through our well-known real
estate dealer F. T. Clarke, this week. 1t
was the sale Of the lot at the southeast cor
ner Of Riverside avenue and Mill street,
for which was paid $500. DR.. J. Wheth-
am was the seller and Z. B. Hyde the
purchaser.
1t is with pleasure that we are able to
announce that Col. c. B. Bradshaw has
reconsidered his intention to seek further
for location, but will settle down in Spo-
kane Falls and make one Of our pOpula-
ton. He intends to commence the prac-
tice Of law, and as his ability is known far
and near he is sure to build up a remu-
nerative practice.
Col. Morgan is making some cereal col
lectiOns that are silent evidence Of the pro-
ductiveness Of the soil in this section. The
man who thinks that Washington terri
tory will not grow grain should put on his
specs and gaze on these specimens. 1t is
not out Of place to say that the Colonel did
not select the best from the fields in which
the grain was growing.
1t is a fact that a town doomed as much
as Spokane JdILs, sooner or later.-Tri-
bURe. He he heI no ! no no ! no I!
Did any one sit up with you after that 4?
Now, neighbor, il you will only hold your
hand on your head until Spokane Calls
Barnum, or some other peddler Of curl
Ositles, will have a pertrified illustration
Of patience to exhibit about the country
some years hence.
An item nowadays is considered pretty
ripe when week old, but we got off one
in the last issue that strives with an Egyp-
tian mummy in the competition for age.
We stated that Col. Nash had moved his
law office to Riverside avenue, and he did
about year and half ago. Strike us
stiff If we didn't feel so mean on discover
ing the mistake that we forgot to ask the
gentleman to lemonade.
Miss Francis f. Willard, the famous
lady labOrer in the field OF temperance,
addresses the people Of Spokane Falls in
the Congregational Church next Monday
afternoon and evening. As the committee
Of arrangements has carefully withheld all
information on the subject we are unable
to give the eloquent and gifted lady the
extended notice that her cause and ability
deserves through our hands.
A notice at the passenger depot an
n6unces that no messages will be received
for California or the East. The imbruglio
is caused by an extensive strike among
the Western Union telegraph operators,
and the great electric pulse has ceased to
beat for the time being. The impediment
to this system Of communication will
not only be a wide spread annoyance, but
also stupendous loss to many. The
hitch cannot possibly last any length OF
time.
The masOns have-cOmmcnced singing
mud and spreading brick over the fOun-
dation Of Union Block, on Howard street,
and before many days the cooked clay
walls will tower up into the ether. Ac-
cording to agreement entered into and
sealed for coin the buildings are to be
ready for the renters about the middle Of
October, and as Contractor Benham is the
party who is doing the work it would be
safe to chance a dollar that the block will
be completed right on time.
We call attention to the new card Of u.
]. Brown & Co., and it will be seen by
Perusing the same that they propose to
open something unusually nice in the
shape Of a store. Mr.. Brown spent sew
eral weeks here, this summer, and we are
that he will soon work up a large
business when he once starts in. He is a
gentleman who has had plenty Of expert
ence and is backed by the necessary capi-
tai. We bespeak him kindly welcome
here, and trade that will make him rich.
A hog case, an Indian case, and several
hard cases and things Of a trying nature
drew upon the administrative ability OF
Justice Whitman this week. The dignified
Judge-and he can look at prisoner
solemn enough to make his toe nails turn
the soothing lotion Of the law
to the searchers after justice in a manner
that no one but those who lost the cases
and the guilty could find fault with. The
former class, Of course, always object, the
latter would cheekily differ with the re-
cording angel.
Perhaps there is nothing that will make
the merchant leave his ledger, the cobbler
his bench, the lawyer his client, the sales
man his yard stick, the hummer his drink
so spontaneously as sudden rupture be-
tween two or more savage CANNES. For
the nonce the lover forgets his sweetheart,
the starving man the pangs OF hunger,
the doctor his sinking patient, the sick
man his affiictiOn, the miser his idol,
while their mental capacity is engaged in
the chances Of the gladiators.
" 'Tis true, and pity tits tits true"
A few tons Of white lead could be used
about the city with good effect. 1t would
blot out some Of the rawness, and give
houses the appearance Of an intention to
REVIEW. Ha ha ha
A few loads Of good soil would give the
town a good effect and an appearance Of
raising something. - Tribune. Indeed
the soil we are "raising some
thing" in the shape Of blocks OF brick
houses and multitudinous residences that
Is awakening a very bad attack Of dysen-
iary among Cheneyites.
A. c. Coffman, our diligent dairy pro-
duct distributor, was called up before
Justice Whitman Friday last to face the
charge Of maintaining nuisance to the
ietrlment Of the health Of the neighbor-
hood. The complaint cited the condition
of the COW yard attached to his premises
in the eastern quarter Of the city, and the
evidence was considered sufficiently con-
Vincing to justify the justice in socking on
1 fine and ordering an abatement OF the
said smell hole. There was some talk Of
IN appeal, but the idea has exhausted it.
