e. s. Rice has been doing quite {
land Office business lately. A short
time ago he sold two lots on Grsnd-st
to James Klemgard for $500, and {
house and lot to R. Lanning for $3.50
also another house and lot to Silas Mo.
ser for $3.50. He has purchased Mr.
Lanning's interest in the Grand-st. liv.
cry and feed stable and is now sole
proprietor. He reports business good
having all he can do.
The educational facilities of Pull
man have not, in the past, been up tc
the standard which our town demands
First class teachers command good sal
aries, but poor teachers are dear at any
price. The HERALD respectfully sug
gests that good teachers be employed
and that school commence as soon as
possible. Too long vacations are not
good for the childrens' morals. Good
teachers make good schools, and good

News: Negotiations are being made
with parties for boring we'll near the
reservoir on the hill to supply us with
pure water. The city could not make a
better paying investment. Good water
is something that every family needs,
and is willing to pay for. The work
cannot be commenced too soon. Let
every property owner give this matter
his immediate attention, nor cease his
exertions until a steady stream of pure
water flows through the water mains in
Palouse City.
Henry Humiston, Geo. Arnold and
Simion Pameteer were arrested and tax
en- before Squire Maupin, of Palouse
City, for preliminary examination last
Monday, on charge of assault with a
deadly weapon, with intent to kill one
Nelson Humiston. "Chancellor" Kent
represented the territory and Moses
Bull the defendants. Henry Humiston
was held to answer to the grand jury,
but there was no evidence to connect
the other two defendants with the
assault, and they were accordingly dis
charged.
Selma Anderson, Swede girl, is
very sick at the Palace Hotel. A few
days ago she was not expected to live,
but hopes are now entertained for her
recovery. She had worked for Hon. W.
J. Mcconnell, at Moscow, last winter and
spring, and when he heard of her sick
ness he came to see her and see that she
was we'll cared for, and we are informed
that he left instructions that if she
should die to draw on him for funeral
expenses. Such substantial expressions
of generosity toward strangers is seldom
found, and it is worthy of being recorded
to the honor and credit of Mr.. Mcconnell
". Hunziker has decided to leave
Pullman in about two weeks for Walla
Walla where he has accepted a position
in jewelry store. He decided to make
this move on account Of the competition
he encountered by the stores selling
watches and iewelry, which was an un-
necessary competition. and one that will
result in the inconvenience and detriment
of the community at large, without
corresponding advantage to any one
He was entitled to the whole trade in
his line, and when people are forced to
take their watches and clocks to another
town for repairs they may do their trad
ing there, which rightly belongs to Pull
man. We believe it was short-sighted
policy for stores to sell jewelry, which
will be realized when too late, as it may
be long time before Pullman will secure
another jeweler of the mechanical ability

Look out for fire. Look out for il
before it starts. Let every man KEEP
his premises clean and free from rubbish
with matches in tin, iron or earthenware
Let him have good chimneys, safe stoves
Let him use good kerosene and fill his
lamps by daylight. Let him keep his
children and matches apart, and be
reasonably careful. Then there will be
few or no fires, and insurance rates vii
be much lower than they are and mus
continue to be SO as long as the reign o
fire continues. You need fire ordinances
Make them more stringent. Have yor
fire department? If not, create it, nt
matter how small your town. Get more
hose; increase your water supply; mul
tiply buckets and ladders; encourage
your volunteer force; inspect your build
ings, alleys and cellar ways; enac
building laws; require frst-class chin
neys; encourage the building of bricl
bu;Id;nos. rauard your yipiIant watch
