agreeable one, it being rainy and conse-
quently muddy, quite number of our
town people were present at the New
England supper given by the ladies of
the NJ. E. church, last Tuesday evening
A very enjoyable time was had and the
supper was exceptionally fine. The re-
ceipts were $3.50.
Mayor Phillips, Councilman Hill
and w. L. Taylor (sorry, but this gen.
tleman has no handle to his name we be-
lieve), three of Pullman's solid business
men, went over to Moscow Wednesday
evening. They wrestled long and fear
fully with Idaho mud and returned home
feeling that our city, with its newly
paved streets, is not to be sneezed at.
The John S. Lindsey dramatic
troupe presented ''Ingomar" to a good
audience. Mr.. Lindsey as "Ingomar,"
was simply superb, and the play, though
presented here before was listened to
with the closest attention. Tonight
they will present Richelieu," in the
personation of which Mr.. L. has won
many laurels. All lovers of the drama
should not fail to attend.

Miss Eva Kirkendall left this city
last Tuesday on an extended visit with
her sister in Pullman, this state. She
has been faithful compositor in this Of
fee for the past five years. Her many
friends wish her a pleasant visit and
quick return.-Olympia Partisan.
The HERALD is pleased to state that
Miss Kirkendall arrived here safely and
expects to remain all winter. She has
already been introduced to Pullman So
ciety and will be valuable acquisition
thereto. She is sister of Mrs. McFad-
den, of this place.
Here is what the New York Herald
has to say of our new state:
"No one can forecast what Washing
ton may become She has certainly the
most varied, and without much doubt
the most remarkable. resources of all.
Taken as an agricultural, commercial
or timbered state her future may be
great The early years of the next cen
fury may easily find her second to not
more than two states of the Union IN
importance. AS a Pacific coast state
she has an equal commercial position
with California, and very great advan-
tage over the latter state in climate and
in capacity for varied production"
Ben. P Scott, the jovial agent for
the St. Louis Wrought Iron Stove Co.,
met with quite an accident last Wednes-
day evening. The east bound train over
the o. r. & N. track stopped at the tres
tie just east of the depot to take on the
mail, and Mr.. Scott, who intended to go
to Moscow, attempted to board it at this
point but it had started to back up Just
as he was in the act of stepping upon
the platform, and to be out of its way he
took step to one side but made mis-
calculation and fell from the trestle to
the ground, distance Of about 10 feet,
and struck upon his shoulder. The
shock bruised him up considerably but
as no bones we're broken his recovery
will probably be rapid.
Last Saturday morning William
Russell, son of Charles Russell, of
Walla Walla, in company with one
armed man and both very drunk, entered
a saloon in Pennington where Russell
helped the armless man by pouring
liquor into his mouth; this caused
laugh among parties in the saloon which
angered Russell, who pulled a revolver
and fred shot the ball striking young
man named Daniel CAVITY, just back of
the iawbone and in front Of the jugular
vein, passing out of the neck an inch be-
low the ear and burying itself IN the
floor of the room. CAVITY died Sunday
morning. There was talk of immediate
ly lynching Russell but he was safely
conveyed to the town lookup, and from
thence to the Colfax jail, on Sunday.
