Samoa, are really c~onfederates. A war
with Germany would, to a certain OK

While on his way home from Colta1
Wednesday afternoon, John Kelly, Gv-

receiving injuries from which he died
Thursday morning. Just how the &C

as Kelly was alone and no one witnessed
it.
For some time past dodgers at the
Colfax hotel have been missing small
sums of money, and until Monday last
the ight-fngered thief could not be
located. Suspicion finally rested upon
one W. H. Bonner, an inmate of the
house, for whom trap was set, into
which he fell very gracefully. On Tues
day he was taken before Judge Inman
on charge of petit larceny, the trial
resulting in his conviction and sentence
to imprisonment in the county Jail for
twenty days.

Hook AND LADDER. in the
short history of Pullman has fire reduced
to ashes the business portion of the town.
Once it could have been saved if q ladder
had been near at hand. What is there
now that would prevent fire from
sweeping Main street from one end to
the other? You have part Of your
property insured, but what protection
have you against the loss of the unin-
sured? None. Would you not insure
yonr property for its full value if the
insurance companies would carry it?
Now, suppose that on Main street the
value of property is 100000, the full
insurable value of this is only about
S125,OOO; $4,000 then remains unin-
sured. II the average rate OF insurance
is 3 per cent. and You could insure to
the full value, you would then pay So, $50,
per annum, premium, for the insurance
on this $4,000. But since you cannot
get this insured, would it not be bust
ness prudence to reduce to minimum
the risk Of loss on it? With what it
would cost to pay the premium for one
year, you could buy a complete hook and
ladder outfit and build a suitable build
ing for it, then organize fire company,
and the risk will be reduced at least one
half. Do not let this matter pass until
the fire comes, NOW is the time to take
action. The town should raise the funds
by taxation, as it would benefit every
property owner in the place. However,
before the funds could be collected "the
horse might be stolen" What should be
done then, is for the Board to purchase
the outfit, issue warrants for the pur-
chase price and let those who can, adj
vance the money on those warrants.
Will you have protection against fire, or
do you prefer to burn out. The answer
Will be either action or inaction in
this matter.

THE ROBERTINE CARNIvAL.-TheR o-
berthe carnival company gave one OF
their celebrated masquerade balls, at the
opera house, Thursday evening, but
owing to the number of entertainments
during the past two weeks, there were
not as many people present as the occa-
sion warranted. The following were the
prize winners: Mrs. F. T. Merrill was
awarded prize for richest lady's cos
tune, but declined to accept it, in favor
of Hattie Oberholtzer, to whom it was
then given, it being a silver cream
pitcher; Mrs. Bowers, as tony darkey
lady, received fur muff; Mrs. George
Bremen was awarded q combination
dressing case, for the best representation
of bottle of Robertine. George Hill,
representing George Washington, re-
ceived a gold headed cane as a prize for
richest gentleman's costume; VIM. New
ton, as "his satanic majesty" was given
perfumery case for most original Co.'S
tune; Harry Reese sustained his charac-
ter of "Booby Boy" so well, that he
was awarded the dressing case. Mr..
Merrilrs exhibition on the bicycle was
alone worth the price Of admission. He
is certainly an artist in his line.

A serious accident occurred to the
little son Of L. E. Doty, week ago, but
did not learn the particulars in time for
last weeks HERALD. It seems the little
fellow, Andrew by name, was staying at
the home of John Glaspey, of this place.
His parents, who reside in the country,
deemed it expedient to bring the lad to
town for a while as measles had appeared
in the family, and, also, that he might
attend school. A few days ago Andrew
was out coasting and ran into barbed
wire fence, tearing his. right leg open,
from the knee down, making terrible
wound. DR.. Webb attended the little
sufferer who is doing as well as can be
expected.
A few mornings ago, a stranger in
these "diggins" entered the dining
room of the Palace Hotel, and gave his
order as follows: A cup Of coffee, sea-
soned with the fluid extract of bovine
and crystallized saccharine; a small piece
of the tender rein of the bos species well
agitated; two decoctel eggs, and dish
of ollapodrida. Howard, the waiter, was
visibly affected with q cutaneous exhala-
ton, and with trepidation at once van
ished to the cuisine. Another waiter
was sent with an everyday breakfast,
and to the surprise of all he ate it with
asseverations of satisfaction. All efforts
to find where the stranger came from
have proven unsuccessful.
