Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1890-11-08

Bragg, III Colfax, last Wednesday morn
ing. Several Pullmanites we're in at
tendance at the wedding.
Walter McKenzie's sickness became
very serious this week, but the physi-
clans performed an operation, tapping
one of his lungs, and the chances for his
recovery are now quite promising.
The tuition for scholars from other
districts attending the Pullman school
has been fixed at 50 per month or S5
per quarter, if paid in advance. This is
a reasonable sum inasmuch as it costs
our own children $1.90 a month for
their schooling.
The campaign was brought to a
close in Pullman by a speech by Hon.
W. j. Mcconnell, of Moscow, in Reaney's
hall, last Monday evening. Mr.. Nc
Conneu made very able speech, and
was loudly applauded. Idaho will not
miss it if she sends him to the g. S.
senate.
Having leased my butcher shop to
j. L. Standard [ desire to close up nv
books at once, and for that purpose I
have turned my accounts over to E. w.
Downen for collection. All persons
knowing themselves indebted to me will
please call at Mr.. Downen's Office and
settle. J. B. CRAWFORD. 4t
H. j. Jackson, ". J. Windus and
Thos. Neill were elected school trustees
at the election last Saturday, and Isaac
Newton was elected clerk. It is hoped
that the trustees will give attention to
the school and that the parents will as
sist the trustees and teachers in making
our school second to none IN the county.
Pullman needs electric lights. The
town is now large enough to Justify a
plant, and the man who will put it in
will be sure of good profit on his in
vestment. Our local capitalists should
take the matter up and push it to COM
pletion before an outsider comes to reap
a benefit that should be kept at home.
j. G. Fullerton has been in Pullman
this week. He has been in Portland
this summer to have his knee straight
ened, and the doctors there were very
successful, and J. G. can now walk near
ly as well as ever. The operation Of
Strengthening the knee was very. diff
edit one, and Mr Fullerton is to De con
graduated upon its success.
j. d. Layman has returned from
his visit east. Both he and Mrs Lay
man were in very poor health while there,
and were glad to get back to Pullman.
Mr. Layman was kept busy while in the
east answering questions about Wash
ington, and as he did his duty well the
Palouse country and Pullman are well
known in the parts over which he tray
eled. Mr.. and Mrs Layman visited in
Missouri and Virginia.
The Royce & Lansing comedy COM
pany presented "Tom's Vacation" to a
large audience in Reaney's hall last
Tuesday evening. It was the most
thoroughly enjoyed entertainment ever
given in Pullman, every part and char
acter being well sustained and bringing
forth rounds of laughter. The singing
was good, and the jokes were all new.
Should this company see fit to again
visit Pullman they are assured Of large
audience.
"A large crowd gathered in the city
last Saturday afternoon to witness the
balloon ascension and parachute jump.
The balloon ascended all we'll enough,
but the parachute portion of the enter
tainment failed to materialize. Van
dyke, tho man who made the ascension,
allowed the balloon to settle gracefully
to the ground, which it did, landing the
man on the rocks east of town, near the
mill. Hagal, the manager Of the con
cern, was after the almighty dollar, and
he got good many Of them too. The
people who gathered to witness the ez-
hibition were not SO lucky and did not
get what they came for.
The Northwestern Industrial Expo
sition closed last Monday night with a
grand masquerade ball. The exposi-
ton has been a great success, and those
who did not attend missed treat. The
Whitman county display was magnlf-
cent, and the weIl-arranged pyramids OF
wheat, oats and vegetables attracted
much attention. The county was
awarded the banner and gold medal for
the best agricultural exhibit in the
building. The prizes for the yields on
the single acre and the 100-acre contests
had not been awarded when last heard
from. It was expected that they would
be given on Friday, Farmers Cay, as
was advertised, and large number of
people were present from here on that
account. 1t is however believed beyond
a doubt that the prize will come to Pull
man. The failure to award the prizes
as advertired is the only cause the Pa
