The Central Committee ghairmanship.

The agents of the republican party of
Whitman county, namely, the members
of the county central committee, have
ousted the chairman on the charge of
personally appropriating campaign
funds. AS to the truth or the falsity of
tht charge, at the present time, the party
cannot decide; their agents have made
the decision and that stands until the
party meets in convention, when the en-
tire matter can be, as it should and must
be, investigated. The committee has
appointed Mr.. Livingstone chairman,
and by that act we believe the party is
bound until the convention meets, so in
fact, Mr.. Becker merely stands suspend
ed and Mr.. Livingstone is the acting
chairman, and hence Che party should
obey the calls of Mr.. Livingstone and
recognize him for the time being as the
chairman of the committee. In the mean
tine the question should be carefully
considered as to what y Il be done when
the convention is belddanl3'e would sug-
gest that she convention appoint a COM
mittee of investigation, hear both sides
of the story, make report of the facts
to the convention and if the facts Justify
a ratification of the action of the COM
mittee, then ratifY in tones so strong
that in the future there will be a whole
some dread of a repetition; if, on the
other hand, Mr.. Becker can clear him
self, let the action of the convention be
accordingly, but in either case, as to the
craftsmanship of the committee, and as
to the committee itself, let the party
select men who have taken no active part
on either side of this matter so that har
mony may prevail in the party, and, by
all means, select chairman that has the
confidence of the party, and is competent
and in position to do his duty.

Great Wheat Contest.

| A prominent business man of Spo-
kane Falls. has offered very liberal
prize to be contended for at the coming
Exposition to be held in that city Octo-
Der 1st to November 1st.
The object of the prize is to enable
the wheat growers of this Pacific North
West an opportunity of making a rec
ord that cannot be gainsaid. It is a
prize Of $500, $500 for the first prize,
and 500 for the second, and is to be
given to the two farmers growing the
largest quantity of wheat upon any one
acre of land.
While the prize is most liberal one,
yet its money valuation is but trife
compared with the other benefits to the
town or farmer winning the same. AS
the record made on that occasion Will be
tele9raphed all over the world, and will
receive press notices in every land. The
supremacy of our wheat fields has al
ways been matter of local pride, and
their great yield has been reported
through nearly all parts of America;
but a mere statement that certain
farmer raised seventy-fve bushels of
wheat to an acre carries but little weight
compared with the affidavits of an Expo
sition Association setting forth the facts
that they have superintended the test
and that they know from their own
examination that the reported yield is
correct. The contest will result in not
merely bringing out the report from
two acres of land, but it will result in
gathering sworn statements as to the
yield of several hundred acres in as
many different localities A showing
Of this kind reported this year when the
wheat crops of Europe and most of
America are going to be light, while our
own are large will give this country
record that will be next to impossible to
ever eclipse.
Any farmer having field of wheat
that will show an especially large yield
should at once notify one of their
county commissioners, or address G. W.
Robinson, General Manager OF the
North Western Industrial Exposition,
Spokane Falls, Washington, who will
give proper instructions as to what
steps are to be taken, in order to COM
pete for this prize.

Contractors Injured.

The contract for doing the rock work
on the Lewiston road was awarded to
Contractors Anderson and Swanson
Both men were terribly injured while at
work one mile east of here last Saturday.
A hole had been drilled into the rock
preparatory to making blast, and
Swanson was pouring powder into it
while Anderson tamped it down with an
iron rod. Two kegs of black powder
and considerable dynamite had been
placed in the hole, and both men lay on
their stomachs with their faces toward it,
when the action of the iron rod against
the rock caused an explosion, and both
men were hurled into the air. Swanson
says that he was thrown ten feet high,
and Anderson must have gone a good
deal higher. Swanson escaped with his
hair and mustache burned off, and with
bad burns, cuts and bruises on his head,
neck and hands, but Anderscn's fate was
more horrible. His face and arms were
literally roasted and torn to pieces; one
eye was blown from its socket and the
sight of the other probably destroyed.
The men were brought to town where
their wounds were dressed by Doctors
White and Webb. Swanson will speed
lily recover, and it is thought that Ander-
son will live. He was taken to the Spo-
kane hospital last Monday.

to Moscow, where he will visit for a
couple of weeks, after which he will
resume his studies in San Francisco.
The weather of the past week has
been pretty warm. One pleasant feature
of the Palouse country is that no mat
ter how warm the days may be the
nights are always cool and refreshing.
-McKanlass' rinstrels played to a

PARIS, Tex. April 20.-THE GAZETTE
reached here on the cannon ball promptly
at 8 :05 this morning and was reoeiyed
with open arms by the people OF this
city. 1t came to them like a long alb
sent friend. The great bundles of pa
pers were soon in the hands of carriers
and in short time all were sold.

who was in charge, stated to THE GA
zETTE reporter that it was on time at
every place, and that the run was made
with all ease

ter, and it is believed that Assistant
General Passenger agent II. p. Hughes
went to SedalIa yesterday on this sub
ject. There is inc doubt that by an ar
rsngement with the st. Louis and San
Francisco road that the katy could
nut on a train that would make
the run from Fort Worth to St.
Iouis as quick if not quicker
than the Texas and Pacific is now max
ing it and il this was done it is believed
the Texas and Pacific run would be made
in less time than it is now made in.
The distance from Fort Worth to st.
Touis. via the Transcontnental, Texar-
kama and the Iron Mountain
route, over which the cannon
ball is now run, is 1874 miles;
the distance by the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas and sedalia is 718 miles, sixteen
miles shorter than by the Texas and Pa
cif1p. But the "Katy' is practical
shut out from putting on fast train on
this route by the fact that it
connects at Sedalia with the Missouri
Pacific, Gould's road, and Of course
would not be permitted to run
trains into st. Louis over or ahead OF the
Gould trains from the same starting
point. There is loop hole out OF the
situation, however, provided by the
s'Katy's'' connection at VInita with the
Frisco, which makes direct line from
Fort Worth to st. Louis, the distance of
which is only 678 miles, forty miles
shorter than the route by Sedalia and
fifty-six miles shorter than the route by
Texarkana over the Texas and Pacific.
Now If the Texas and Pacific makes the
run to st. Louis from Fort Worth in
o;r fhirfU- min
utes on a 1874 miles run why could not
the Katy make it over the Frisco
from Vineta, fifLy-six miles
shorter, in twenty-four hours?
As stated above it is believed that this
matter is now under consideration, and
if the Katy concludes to put on fast
| train it is dollars TO cents that the Texas
and Pacific will reduce their time from
! Fort Worth to St. Louis. The ball has
started ana the music is going to be
| lively.

A special from Indianapolis states: 1t
has leaked out that special meeting of
the Indianapolis division of the Order of
Railway Conductors has been called in
that city for next Sunday yesterday TO
consider the situation. Leading men of
the order say that it is proposed to de-
sert the companies and to confederate
with the engineers, firemen, switchmen,
vardmen, brakemen and inspectors.
The meeting grows out of the discharge
of twenty of the oldest conductors on the
Pennsylvania roads during the last two
weeks. Pennsylvania company detec-
tives are visiting every division west OF
Pittsburg, and three went over the JEFF
fersonville, Madison and Indianapolis
and the Chicago division last week.

Ell Paso has good reason to be kindly
disposed toward the Texas and Pacific.
That road has always stood by Ell Paso
through thick and thin. When other
roads were combining to force up freight
rates to this point, the Texas and Pa
oifo has invariably fought them and
invariably found means soon to Sc
cure fair rates for this city. True the
Texas and Pacific has adopted this policy
for its own sake, because it was directly
interested in building up this city.
But the effect is the same as though
the road had acted from purely disinter-
ested motives. FL Paso and the Tex as
and Pacific must stand by each other
And they will.-TEl Paso Tribune.
