COLLEGE CUI.LINGS.
Newsy Notes From the seat OF Learning
on the North Side.

The roll OF students in Spokane
College is constantly growing and now
numbers 73-ladies 35, gentlemen 49,
Misses Tormey and English are among
tire recruits OF the Normal class.
The monthly examination in math-
ematics occurred on Friday and was
passed creditably by all who have
been in regular attendance. The al
zebra and arithmetic classes number
20 and 81 respectively. The boo k.
keeping class now numbers 13 and is
making good progress.
The average standing for the month
in latin, in which there are four class
es, is reported good, and the classes
in English are all doing we'll.
The first regular rhetorical exercise
was given on Friday at o'clock p. IN.
and showed excellent work. This de-
partment, under the charge of Miss
Hope, promises TO become very popu-
lar, as she is one OF the very best in
structors.
The music department is also build
ing up rapidly under the efficient man
agement of Prof. Mueller. He will
begin his vocal class instruction on
Monday.
The rhetoricals will occur every two
weeks, on Friday afternoon.
The entertainment given by the
Palmer Y's at the parlors in Post hall
on Friday evening, was not well at
tended. There were about thirty
students and perhaps as many Others
present. The programme Was an ex-
cellent one throughout. 1t partook OF
q literary and musical character, and
was participated in by Prof. Mueller,
Miss Hope, Mrs. Wilcox, Miss Blanch-
ard and sister, Mrs. Wadham and Miss
Buchholz. The numbers were all well
rendered and received merited ap-
plause and numerous encores.

CHAPTER Ill.

Peter Roanoke was Val Pumpits
cousin. The resemblance was mott only
striking, but legitimate. He didn't
know why he should go to Hoboken,
but he felt an unaccountable desire to
visit the woods again. At sharp B.,
therefore, he revisited the place OF
rendezvous. Barbara was on hand
writhing IA before. She wore knee
breeches and rowing shirt, and her
hair was done up inside closely fitting
cap. This time he was on his guard. As
she lunged at him, he ducked neatly
and escaped. The next pass she
caught collar and elbow lock and for
IL few moments they struggled and
painted awfully. She landed kiss
under his chin. He got back on her
elbow. Then they played for advant'
age. A false move on his part gave
her the pull. She got home on his
tonsils, and followed il up on his left
lung. He rallied and kissed the corns
off her knees. She countered on his
wish bone. After that, he gave up
the unequal contest. He flung her
into n tree and stood gazing at her
with certain gasping hatcur rs she
swung slowly to and iro.
"Why will you not come to me,
Barbaraf
kiss me, Petey."
"Why will you not forget and be
IN net"
kiss me, Potey."
"Do you want To break my hearth
kiss me, Petey."
"You won't, then?'
"kiss me--kiss me-Petey.'
Theu he turned, and with a mock
ing laugh called cab to take him to
the depot He left her -anging
there. She called after him: "There
is grave between us, but -kiss me,
Petey."
He went straight on to Canada. He
did not stop ut Hoboken, where he
might be traced and extradition pa
pers could be served. He went to
Canada and lost himself in the crowd.
That's why he still lives. For Bar
bara eventually got out of that tree,
aud she's cruising for him at this mo-
mcnt.
This story was not concocted in the
usual way. II was found in demi-
john. RICHARD WEIGHTMAS.

REX IN COURT.

His Preliminary Examination Continued
Until Wednesday Afternoon.
J. G. Rex, the young man accused
OF embezzlement by w. B. Turner,
and who left SO unceremoniously for
Seattle about three weeks ago, returned
TO Spokane Saturday morning in COM
pany with sheriff Glispin. He is a
smooth faced young fellow of twenty
two years. rather bright looking and
neatly dressed. In the police court he
seemed unconcerned and conversed
quite freely. Col. Turner has been re-
tanned TO defend him, and at his re-
quest the preliminary examination
was postponed until Wednesday after
noon. Judge Houghton appeared on
behalf of the territory.

over = Poker Game.
twalla walls Statesman.l
From l.. l.. Burtenshaw, OF Far.
mington, who arrived here Monday,
the Statesman learns the particulars
of a murder which occurred there at
7 o'clock Saturday evening. John
Corley, gambler well known in
Walla Walla and young man named
Joe Morrison were playing poker in
the rear room OF John Davis saloon
when they became engaged in row.
A shot fred in the room caused citizens
on the street to break open the door
when they found Corley and Morrison
clinching each other on the floor.
Davis took pistol from one of the
men, but could not tell which one.
Another pistol was lying on the floor
Morrison was shot through the body,
the ball ranging upward. He lived
IL hours. The statements OF the
two men were conflicting. There was
another man in the room at the time
but he got out before the crowd rushed
in. Corley said Morrison had him
down beating him, and tried to shoot
him, and that he fired in seli-defence,
placing the pistol necessarily very close
to Morrison. The latter claimed that
he was under the table four or five
teet away, when shot. This story is
probable as Morriscn's clothing was
not powder-burnt in the least. Nor
rison went to the Palouse country with
Sells circus and afterwards worked on
the railroad. He had arranged to re-
turn to his home at Towando, Bradford
county, Pa, Corley has always posed
rs "had man." with disposition to
kill somebody. His examination was
set for Monday.

FAILURE OF WILLIAMS, BLACK q co
Liabilities Not Known but Supposed to be
Near the Millions.

NEW YoRK, Sept. 2S.-This afternoon a
notice was posted that the large house Of
Williams, Black & Co. had failed TO meet
their mercantile obligations. 1t is believed
they were on the short side OF wheat at
Duluth and other western points, and that
their losses outside Of this were imnaterial,
although they have represented large
interests at nearly all OF the commercial
exchanges.
The firm Is one OF the best known bust.
ness houses down town, and its credit has
been high. The house was founded in
1855 as general brokerage concern by the
father Of the Williams Brothers, who now
head the firm OF Williams, Black a Co.
The amount of their liabilities could not
be learned to-day. One OF the members
OF the Arm was seen and he even declined
to estimate the amount. BY q disinter-
ested party 1t WAS estimated that II would
reach the millions. A member OF the hrm
assured the superintendent that his house
would settle in full tomorrow. The
failure Is connected, II Is thought, with
the Chicago wheat squeeze.
