1T MAY CONE OUT.
why ParneII Has Had No Parliament
tary Investigation.

LONDON. July ia very strange and
startling story has leaked out in the
A.heneum club concerning the author
of the alleged libelous aud forged letters
printed by the Times newspaper with
the view Of duplicating Parnell Patrick
Egan and other prominent Irish nation
alists in recent criminal attacks on British
government representatives and British
landlords in Ireland. Parnell has not
only denied the authenticity of the letters
attributed to him, but has demanded a
full parliamentary inquiry for the pur-
pose Of revealing who the real author Of
the letters is concerning which, he says.
he has received and is in possession OF
indisputable proof. The reason why
Parnell has been denied a parliamentary
inquiry IL is whispered In the clubs along
Pail Mall is that one Of the members Of
the royal family would necessarily have
to be summoned before the committee Of
investigation as n witness. The Prince
of Wales has already appeared in court
as a witness in the Mordaunt divorce
case aud the Duke Of Cambridge, the
Queens first cousin, has also appeared
as an ordinary witness in the criminal
courts Neither Of them however could
be compelled TO respond unless they vol.
unfairly testified which both the royal per.
sonages in the cases of the trials referred
TO condesccnded TO do. This matter, how
ever, involves another member Of
the royal family. it is said. and it
it is owing to the gravity of the
case hardly probable that any recogni-
ton OF process of court would be oh.
served. Nevertheless il is believed that
the entire story will be disclosed within
few days, and the interference Of the
exalted parsonage referred to will, 1t is
said. create more Of sensation in
British politics than arose when Lord
Palmerston threatened to have Prince
Albert, the queens cousort, se-r 4 re
tower.

Its Great AGRICULTURAL, Railroad and
Mercantile Features

It's Great Agricultural, Railroad and
Mercantile Features.
Mr.. w. A. Walker, of Pennington,
Whitman county, paid the REVIEW office
a visit yesterday and gave some pleasant
news from that hourishing little city:
Harrington is situated at the center Of
the Washington and Idaho system of the
D. r. q N. and w. IL /. railroad system.
II is the end of the division of the o. II.
d N. road and the company have decided
to establish their car and repair shops at
that point. Through trains are made up
at FarminRton on the o. Il. & N. and
sleepers are run direct through from there.
The w. Il l. railroad is being built
from Pennington north and trains are run
forks of the HanRinan, from whence it
runs to Rockford bearing to the northeast
a distance of about twenty-eight miles
At the Hangman junction the road again
forks and runs to Mullen some twenty
miles distant, from which point il will ul.
timately be extended to Spokane Falls.
Pennington needs this connection very
much and will do all in its power to Sc
cure it. At Dutch fiat the w. & I. road
has branch to Oaksdale, some twelve
miles distnt, from which point the road is
being built to connection with the o. H.
& N. at Endicott. The road bed
is nearly all graded and the construction
train is laying the rails on this
branch which will soon be completed.
ITS BUSINESS PLACES.
Pennington has three general mer-
chandisinQ stores, two hardware stores.
two agricultural implement houses, a good
furniture house, two drug stores, mil
inery store, bank, bakery and confec-
tionary, two livery and feed stables. two
blacksmith shops. two saloons and brew.
cry, two railroad provision supply stores,
a wagon making and repair shop. There
are two church buildings, owned by the
Methodist and adventists. There is also
Congregational church organized but as
yet no church building of that denomina-
tion. There are four lawyers. and tour
physicians, and a good dentist. There
are two meat markets. a Touring mill and
planning mill, two hotels, two restau.
rants. two barber shops. two dressmakers,
a photograph gallery, IA harness shop, and
last. but not least live, wideawake
newspaper, the Pennington Register, ed.
tied by E. S. Crane.
The foundation is being constructed for
a new school building which will be
speedily pushed to completion. The build.
ing will cost about $4,000 Mr.. Walker
says that the merchants of Pennington are
all doing large and increasing business,
of the country. The city is located most
charmingly near the foothills. which sup
plies fuel and timber for building purpos-
es. The farming country is all valuable
and while at present land is cheap there
it is sure to rapidly enhance in value
Pennington is growing rapidly, but no
more so than the country tributary to it,
and as the country fills up it will become a
place of considerable Importance.
