pleasure IN securing for his place the very

An easterh Washington paper says that
the insurance companies are canccling all
their policies in Cheney and Sprague,
many in Colfsx and some in Dayton, on
account OF the want of ability in those
places to prevent fires or to successfully

A rich discovery of gold-hearing quartz
is reported from the mountains between
Joseph creek and Snake river, near the
mouth of the Grande Ronde. 1t is said
to show free gold and to assay rich. Par
ties from Lewiston were early on the
ground, and have located claims.
The attetiipt was made recently to burn
the big hotel at Wallula junction, and
had it not been for its timely discovery
and effective work by the employees, that
line structure would be a thing of the
past. The flames were first discovered ia
the baggage room, and were running rap
idly up toward the root. Coal oil Was
found splashed over the floor and walls.
A gentleman who has ,ecently returned
from the Snoqualmie hop yards, the large
hop yards of the Seattle company and
embracing at present 2S0 acres OF new
hops, reports that the hop yield will be
total failure. A large proportion of the
vines are, owing to the extreme dry
weather aud late planting, not over three
feet high, and the outlook is not fatter-
ing.
Elaborate preparations are being made
by the Puyallup valley hop growers to
harvest their present crop. On nearly
every hop farm Improvements in out
buildings and new and dry warehouses

men, difficult matter to cure hops prop
erly, but the Puyallup growers have had
80 mnch drill in that direction that they
are able to handle the crop in the best
possible manner.
Charles Evans has resigned the office If
postmaster at New Tacoma, and s. F.
Sahn Is at present filing the place tempe
rarily. All claims of the government
against the late posttrastet havs been
settled and paid, and his bondsmen dis
charged. A numereusly signed petition
in favor of M. L. Sampson as postmaster
has gone forward, and it is probable he
will receive the appointment.
John Laughran, of New Tacoma, who
took up claim near Klickitat prairie,
Lewis county, has just returned from that
section, and says that there is much land
between the railroad and his new home as
good as the best he has ever seen any
where, both for timber and agricultural
purposes. The land il. the Cowlts bot
toms is principally covered with alder
and vine maple, and the higher lands with
anl immense growth OF fir, hemlock ana
cedar. Anthracite coal veins are known
to exist twenty-five or thirty miles to tho
eastward, and Mr.. Laughran, who is an
old Pennsylvania miner, pronounces the
specimens OF coal from these veins exam
ined by him to be equal to the best he has
ever seen. There are large bodies of ex-
cellent land to the eastward of Laughran's
location, but it is as yet unsurveyed and
therefore cannot be AIKEN up.

DEATH OF MIR. DUDLEY JONES.

In connection with the death of Mr.. Dud-
ley Jones, formerly we'll known citizen of
York county, an account of whose burial
we clip from the Rock Hill Herald, letter
from Rome, Ga, informs us that his death
may not have resulted from heart dis
ease, as has been published, as he was in
the house all alone at the time of his death,
and when found, he was lying in the fire,
and was badly burned. A theory is that he
was making up the fire, and losing his bal
ance, fell over on the Goals.

M. F.. SUNDAY-SCHOOL.

The entertainment given in the Court
House last Friday evening, by the members
of the NJ. E. Sunday-school, while possess
ing sonic novel features, was highly enter
tanning and instructive in other respects.
The occasion attracted large and delight
ed audience. The entertainment was open
ed by vocal music, the whole school sing
ing, "WeIl Praise Him Forever" After
prayer by the Rev. II. r. English, of the
Presbyterian Church, Mr.. F. A. Gilbert,
superintendent of the Sunday-school, in a
few chaste and neat remarks, introduced
the Rev. w. w. Duncan, d. d., of Wofford
College, who had been invited to deliver an
address. This address, which might aptly
have for its title perseverance," was di
rected mainly to the young people, but it
was proftably heard by those of larger
growth. For about an hour the accomplish
ed speaker entertained his hearers with an
address replete with wise counsel to the
young, for their guidance in life, abounding
in entertaining facts and sparkling with wit.
While the address was within the cOmpre-
hension of the youngest pupil of the school,
it was a finished production, conveying
many important truths and lessons, deliv-
cred in such manner as to make their i'm
press upon the youthful mind.
After music, the novel feature of the en-
tertainment was introduced, it being the
Jug breaking" This was the first effort here
to raise money by this process, so popular
in many localities, and as there was quite
number of competitors for the prizes to
be awarded to the girl and boy whose
Jugs should contain the largest amounts,
much interest was manifested in the inter-
esting process of breaking the jugs and as
certaining the amount of the contents.
For the information of those uninitiated
in the mystery of utilizing jugs in the cause
of Sunday-schools, it may be proper to ex-
plain that the jugs used for this purpose are
harmless vessels, holding less than pint,
and while the mouth is sealed, there is pro-
vidcd a small aperture admirably contrived
for the reception of cash, from nickle to
silver dollar, or even ten-dOllar note may
be folded so as pass in without difficulty.
When once in the jug, tits considerably safer
than if in the custody of northern bank
cashier, rthe hands Of a government official
with big contract to let. 1tcan no more be
used as a circulating medium until the jug is
broken. A number of these jugs are dis
tributed among the younger members of the
Sunday-school, who are denominated Jug
bearers, and they vie with each otherin the
etfort'to secure the largest accumulation of
coins by given date, at which time the
jugs are publicly broken, the contents count
ed, and promised prizes to the most success
full jug-bearers awarded. The contestants
on this occasion numbered six girls and six
boys, named below, and on breaking the
jugs and counting the contents, the follow
ing was the result:
