Jack Mckenzie, who has been sicl
with the measles, is suffering the effects
of relapse and his condition is serious
Dame ruu.or says that certain
couple well know in Pullman, were mar.
rie1 at Moscow, on the 9th, but as We

for its authenticity.
THE SHooT1NG.-The exciting event Of
yesterday was the trial Of John Brewer
of Union Flats, charged with assault
with deadly weapon with intent to dc
bodily injury to the person of J. G. De-
Party. A hearing was given the defen-
dent before Justice Lobaugh. The ter
ritorv was represented by VIM. Newton
of this place, and Mr.. Green, of Moscow
while the defense was conducted by
Thos. NELL. While there was no ques-
ton of the shooting, the evidence showed
circumstances that justified it, and the
prisoner was accordingly discharged.
| WE'RE ADvANCING.-"Th Pullman
Opera House" is to be its name hereaf-
ter. Mr.. Reaney has gone to considera-
BILE expense and trouble, to improve his
hall and make it both attractive and con-
venient. A new drop-curtain is now be-
ing painted, also appropriate scenery,
wings, ETC., with Mr.. E. E. Hall as ar
fist. Mr.. Reaney proposes to have it
"put on the circuit" and Pullman will
then be able to have frst-class shows
stop here rs often as expedient, for
amusements, of the better grade, take
we'll with our people. He is doing the
proper thing adding his share to the
advancement of our town, and we hope
our citizens will patronize him literally.
How's THIs?-The statement of the
condition of the Bank of Pullman at
close of business, December 81, 1888,
shows that their total assets are 500, $685.
So, of which, $41,626.49 are loaEs and
discounts. Real estate, furniture and
fixtures 50, 432.59; cash on hand and due
from. other banks, $16,969.54. The de-
posits amount to $29, s1221; capital sur
plus and undivided profits, $31, 116.41.
That the statement shows conservative
management, is evident, especially SO
when we consider that they have on
hand almost S1O,000.00 more than is
considered necessary for safe banking
business. That this bank enjoys the
highest esteem and confidence Of our cit
zens is due to it's conservative manage
ment and the gentlemanly treatment OF
of patrons by its courteous cashier.
SHADE TREES. is no one thing
that improves the appearance of town
and adds SO much to the pleasure Of the
people, as shade trees; they make the
town look larger and give it a look OF
permanency. This is true of all, and
especially so, of prairie towns. One OF
the first questions asked by an eastern
man is, have You any shade trees? il
you answer no, heis at once Disguised
for, to him, it shows lack of enterprise,
public spirit and culture in the citizens
1t is the duty therefore of every one, not
only for his own pleasure and comfort,
but for the good of the town, to plant
trees ON his own property, and it is the
duty of the Board of Trustees, acting
for all the people, to plant shade trees
at least on the resident streets, when
the residents and property holders fail
or neglect to do so themselves. A few
shade trees in Pullman would make it
look at least 100 per cent better. Let
the Board pass an ordinance, as they
have the right to do, requiring trees to
be planted, SO that in the early spring
work can be commenced. No one will
ever regret the expense.
