No lack of amusements in Pullman
nowadays. Five public lectures in Us
many evenings, topping off with min
strel show Monday night. What will
come after that doth not vet appear.
Let the interested kickers continue
to "kick" over the recent reduction in
Snake river ferriage rates, and let not
the next board of commissioners inter
fere Herewith. The rates are high
enough even now, in all conscience.
An itinerant pedler worked a very
successful racket around town, the other
day, in disposing of his needles, thread,
stationery packages, etc. For fall par
ticulars we refer by permission to Mrs.
Al. Reaney, Mrs. Thos, Enos, and others.
The joke was too good for their worser-
halves to keep.
Say! we are closing out our stock of
watches at actual COST. This is fact.
Call and examine our handsome assort-
ment. WHITE & JACKSON. 15tf
The gipsey fortune-teller is evident
ly making a good living in Pullman; at
least she still fingers in our midst,
quilting the susceptibles and amusing
the curious. Occasionally, however, she
gets in a home thrust at some of her
soft-headed visitors, so we are told, that
makes 'em squirm. NJ 4
The case of the Singer Sewing
Machine Co. vs.. Silas Prather was again
on trial before Justice Lobaugh, Tues
day. The company sued for $72 for use
Of the machine, and defendant, denying
the use thereof, set up a counter-claim
for $50 for storage. A jury trial was
had, resulting in a verdict for defendant
for $35. A. G. Green, of Moscow, ap-
peared for the company and VIM. New
ton for Prather. .-
The editor of the Walla- Walla
Statesman has received a letter from a
prominent linen manufacturer in Dun
dee, Scotland, declaring that samples Of
fax grown in eastern Washington and
sent to him, have the finest and best
fibre he ever saw. He earnestly urges
extensive cultivation, and says the mar
ket will never be overstocked with that
quality of fax. Palouse country farmers,
make note Of this.
c. S. Mason has some goods left that
he offers for almost nothing. He must
sell them, and will do so at your own
price and on your own terms. What
more can he do? Go and see him.
In closing up its description of
Pullman and the business men of town
last week the HERALD unintentionally
omitted to mention our only shoemaker,
Mr.. Alf. Wlndus, who has no superior in
his line in this section; also, A. d. Boyer,
the well-known carpenter and cabinet
maker; our second hotel, the Empire
House; and, last but not least, our new
cornet band, which is climbing up the
scale of proficiency at a rapid pace.
Remember the lectures of Mrs.
Washington, of the national W. G. I. o.,
at the Congregational church tonight
Saturday and tomorrow night. Re
ferring to the lady's ability, the st.
Louis Presbyterian says: "She is a
minister's wife and a genuine, earnest
christian woman. She held her audience
for two hours without WEAKNESS, which
is the best testimony she could ask or
have of the acceptablenesso of her address"
On Wednesday evening, while
Howard Alexander was returning to the
Palace Hotel with basket of eggs, he
walked off the sidewalk at the bank cor
ner, smashing the eggs and injuring
himself SO badly that he was unable to
go to work next day. We predicted
some time ago that some one would be
injured by falling from the sidewalks
