Philip Buehner, Of st. Paul, who
is the chief contractor for putting in
the water works for this city, ar
rived from the East yesterday and
called upon US this afternoon. Mr..
Buehner, who has had vast amount
Of experience in this line, informs
US that all Of the-material is on the
way out but work will not COM
meRce until the last Of 1t arrives.
He will make all the arrangements
necessary for pushing the labor for
ward when II once commences. He
does not consider it advisable to tear
up block or two and then be de-
layed. The work will progress
at the rate of one block per day
as soon as the first ground
is broke. He had but little to say in
regard to labor. He never thought
Of employing Chinese, and would
prefer to have all Of the labor accom-
plished by white men. Mr.. Buehner
seems to be a fair minded gentle
man who is willing to do what is
right in the premises, and we be-
lieve that he will come to some satis-
factory understanding in regard to
the laying Of the pipes, which will
not probably be inaugurated until
about the 18th of the present month.

not swayed by passion and envy.
The voters ask that the outside pre-
cincts shall have some recognition
In the distribution OF offices. We
would respectfully call the attention
of the people Of the county to the
arrogant and domineering position
taken by the Tribune, the briddled
mouth-piece Of a community, and
appeal TO them to stand firm against
the dictaiorial l,hcsts Of few sore
heads about the county seat. We
want to sec an intelligent, unprCju-
diced body Of delegates elected at
the Republican primaries who will
assemble together wherever the Gpn-
vcntion is called and with a single
aim Of equity make such selections
for county offices rs the people Of
the county can freely support and

ENJOYABLE Affair.

EUlWghHAN AhHhs
The promenade concert given un-
der the management Of the ladies Of
the Episcopal church Thursday even
ing, was one far in excess, both in the
number in attendance and financial
success, to anything expected by the
most hopeful among the instigators
Of the entertainment. We must
give the Ladies' Of that denomination
credit for doing well anything and
everything they undertake, and the
many who enjoyed the event last
night will admit that there has been
few entertainments in our city which
have been more pleasurable to all
participating. The concert was a
decided hit, and partook Of the ma
ture Of a parlor musicale As we fire.
quently stated prior to the date the
programme embraced the names of
some Of our best musicians, who have
become great favorites before local
audiences. The opening piece was a
violoncillo solo by Chas. a. Boyer,
accompanied on the piano by Mrs.
Boyer. 1t was rather a solemn in
PRODUCTION for an instrument Of
that description, even when well
played, as in this instance, is
not Of a gay and festive character.
The singing that followed was, in
deed, excellent, and the several per-
formers, Mrs. JnO. L. Wilson and
Messrs. Fellowes, Baxter, Bean,
Stainsby, Penfleld and Burnett were
received with flattering applause
and the audience demanded repeti-
tons in several instances. The rec
itations by Miss May Burnett and
John l.. Wilson were strong elecu.
tionary efforts. Messrs. DIR. Willrrd,
DIR. Pittwood, Sherwood, Norman
Vajan sang several college songs.
The concert was followed with PROM
enading, dancing and partaking Of
choice refreshments until after II
o'clock when the excitement over
the balloting for the silk quilt to 60
to the lady receiving the highest
number Of votes attracted the
entire attention Of the crowd.
On one side Mrs. II. NJ. Mccartney
was the favorite, while a number Of
liberal spirited young men sustained
the popularity Of Mrs. Geo. f. Darby
with solid ducats. All the other
contestants were lost sight of in the
two leaders. As long as 1t was only
few votes at time most Of the
boys would ring in occasionally, but
as the time approached for the clos
ing Of the polls, 100, $50, 800 and
1000 votes ut a clip froze out the
small voters. This state of affairs
co tinued for some minutes, the
audience hushed with excitement,
and only the voices Of the voters
could be heard giving in Their con-
tributions. The last thousand votes
for Mrs. Mccartney swept the field
and closed the struggle. The total
vote cast was 6l55, Mrs. Mccartney
receiving $500 and Mrs. Darby 2635,
with 220 scattering, representing, at
10 cents per vote, S6l5 so. Had it
not been for this controversy
the quilt would probably have gone
for less than 500. We do not know
as yet how much the total receipts
Of the concert figures up to, but it
must have netted the Ladies' some
where between six and seven hun
dred dollars. This will wipe out all
the Indebtedness Of the church and
leave handsome balance in the
treasury. The ladies are so well sat
lsfied with the result Of their labors,
that it is not probable they will make
another call on the public for year
to come.

All know that the books Of Dam

the most wonderful books In the Bi-
bic. The author Of this work gives

No fanciful theories are presented,

The new month opened up Friday
morning in good shape, ms far as the
weather Is concerned, although the
town presented a rather quiet ap-
pearance from II business point Of
view. The streets have been de-
serted to a great extent and an alb

noticeable. Collections have not been
brisk, yet there is no sign Of the
uneasiness apparent month ago.

measures Of forcing collections, which
will give debtors an opportunity to

dence exists than at any time this

We hear from authority that is
deemed reliable, says the Kittitas
LOcdtizer, that the coal deposits on
the Cle-elum are unparalleled in this
country. The surface vein is said to
be from twelve to fourteen feet deep,
while an under-stratum, separated
by a layer of slate, is being sunk
down on, and Is more than six feet
deep, and the bottom not yet reached.
This under-stratum is Of a much
better quality, and has glisten-
ing jet color. Coal Of the upper
stratum IS now in general use by the
blacksmiths Of this place, and they
pronounce it an excellent article.
Its value Is being appreciated here
so much that Iii issupercedlng the use
Of charcoal. The Cle-elum coal bed
where II IS being developed, is the
richest strike yet made in the Terri
tory, and the quality Of the second
stratum, perhaps, the very best that
has yet been discovered on either
side Of the mountains. 1t will be
seen that the Cle-elum district Is not
more celebrated for ITS rich quartz
mines than for its valuable coal and
iron deposits.
