oounteous profusion in Pullman short
ly. Ii we are not badly mistaken at
least one of the aforesaid cakes is now
IN the oven.
Arrangements have been perfected,
and program is now in course of con-
struction for Chistmas entertainment
at Whelan. It will be held in the
school house.
-Graham's orchestra, of Spokane
Falls, which will give dance in
Reaney's hall this evening, and every
two weeks hereafter, has the reputation
of giving first class music.
The HERAID's new press is now in
operation, and any of our friends are
welcome to take turn at the crank; we
would, in fact, have no objection to their
running of the whole issue.
Farmers wanting loans should call on
Ryrie & Baikie at Pullman or Moscow.
Loans now had through them are paw
able at any timeby in stallments if de-
sired and without any bonus. 52tf
Walter Ruble & Co. are headquarters
for Christmas goods. They are now
displaying the most complete line in
town. Drop in and make yonr selec-
ions before the best articles are gone.
There is sufficient number Of fire
insurance companies represented in
Pullman by resident agents and there is
no good reason why Pullman citizens
should insure with companies not rep
resented here.
R. D. Mclean had a narrow escape
from serious injury last Thursday. He
was working on the roof Of his house
when the scatfold fell precipitating Mr..
Mclean to the ground, distance of 26
feet. He was bruised considerably, but
no bones were broken.
"A gentleman from Kansas City,
who was looking over Washington for
investments. was heard to remark that
Pullman was the best town in Eastern
Washington outside of Spokane Falls,
and he predicted that Pullman would
have 1900 inhabitants within the next
six months.
There is considerable complaint
concerning the lack of passenger accom-
mediation on the Union Pacific, between
Colfax and Moscow. When there is but
one c3r suitable for passengers, and that
is occupied by crowd Of noisy men it
is anything but pleasant for ladies, and
a special car should be given for their
accommodation.
"A. w. D, Lewis, building inspector
on the Northern Pacific, was badly in
jured by being thrown from the cupola
Of a caboose, Thursday morning, The
injuries are mostly internal, but it is
not expected tLat they will result
seriously. He was removed to the resi-
dence of Thos. Kaylor where he was
given the best of attention.
W. L. Reider is building a correl
and feed stable at the east end OF Main
street. Last summer the HERALD called
attention to the fact that Main street
would be disfgured by some kind of a
building unless steps were taken to
straighten the street at the east end
The location of this building IS a good
one for the proprietor but a poor one
for the appearance Of the town.
R. D. Mclean is building a res
idence on the North hill. The design is
different from anything in town, and
when completed will be model Of neat
ness. 1t is as cheap to build good APP
pearing house as to build a barn, be-
sides the general effect Of such buildings
on the town is no small affair. Neat
i, dwellings add to the attractiveness Of a
town, and impresses strangers with the
fact that we are a town Of permanent
homes.
Pullman hose company, No. l, was
out for its first regular drill last Thurs
dav afternoon. The new hose cart was
brought out, and on account of the mud
DIV condition of the roads was paraded
I'D and down the sidewalks. Connec-
tions we're made with several hydrants,
and a number of buildings, and also a few
unlucky individuals who passed that
way we're given & shower bath. The com
pany is now IN good working order and
with a little practice will be able to
handle a fire with dispatch. Encourage
the company for its encouragement means
better protection for your property.
Sheriff Mclean and Marshal Brooks
had terrible time endeavoring to con
fine an insane man Saturday night at
Colfax. Both were large, powerful men,
but it required their combined efforts to
subject the fellow, who is only of
medium stature. After the door Of the
cell was firmly closed on him the cries
and howls that rent the air for several
hours would have done credit to dozen
hvenas. He was taken before Probate
