Pullman will soon be without a
public hall or opera house, as Staver &
Walker have rented Reaney's hall and
will take possession of it on April 1st.
Some enterprising man can make money
by building hall and opera house,
The Thanksgiving dance in Reany's
hall Thursday evening was well patron
lzed by the people from surrounding
towns, but only a few couple Of Pullman's
dancers were present. The dance supper
was served at the City Restaurant, and
capable judges say that it has meyer be-
fore been equaled in the town.
Pullman enjoyed (?) the distinction
of having genuine cock fight last Sat-
urday evening. The pit was constructed
IN Reaney's hall, and several persons had
game birds present which they allowed
to fight for some time. Three or four
battles were fought and each one was
won by birds belonging to Hill Norton.
There will be an election for the
purpose of electing three councilmen
and a treasurer next Tuesday. At a
primary held last Wednesday evening
the following gentlemen we're placed in
nomination on the Citizens ticket: For
councilmen, Thos. Kaylor, Ma tin Zen
der and W. J. Windus, and for treas 1rer,
Archie White.
Miss Hattie Brooks, aged 10 years,
died at the home OF her uncle, Chas
Brooks, three miles north Of Pullman,
last Saturday evening, after a sickness
Of four weeks with typhoid fever. She
was buried IN the Spring fat cemetery
last Monday. Although sick for some
time it was not thought that she was
dangerously SO until Friday evening,
and her sudden and unexpected death
makes the grief Of the friends all the
harder to bear.
w. Y. Windus has rendered his res
ignation as cashier and the same has
been accepted by the directors of the
Bank Of Pullman. He will, however,
continue in the place until January 1st
after which he will enter the firm of Nc
Connell & Chambers. No one has yet
been engaged as cashier, although the
position has been offered to H. G. De-
Pledge, of Colrax. Mr.. DePledge's
many friends IN Pullman hope that he
will accept the position.
The truth is that a clear majority
of the members-elect of the legislature
are in favor of Senator Squire's re-elec-
tion. His enemies are aware OF this.
and the knowledge makes them frantic
They realize that they cannot hope to
defeat him by fair means. Their only
hope lies in detaching some of his sup
porters. This can not be done by hon
orable means, and they therefore resort
to SANDER and yituperation. Such cam
paigns never win, and the failure of this
one is as much matter of certainty as
if Senator Squire had already been re-
elected-Intelligencer.
Mayor Windus vetoed the ordinance
granting to Messrs. Mckenzie & Baird
a franchise for putting in an electric
light plant, for the reason that as pre-
pared it was unconstitutional. A new
ordinance is now being drafted to cover
the objections which will be passed as
soon as it is possible. This will not,
however, retard the putting in of the
plant, as the preliminary work is now
being done. The poles are being
brought on the ground, and the electric
ians are here ready to do the work, and
in twenty days Pullman will possess
electric lights. The charge will be $1.75
per light, and each light viii be of six
teen candle power.
The worlds fair executive COM
mittee of the state of Washington VIII
meet at Seattle next Monday to perfect
the organization. The committee thinks
the state should appropriate &25O,OO0,
at the least, for providing our exhibit at
the Worlds fair, as it would require that
much to make tie Washington display a
success. This would be very reason

population of $50 ga7e s45C to assist in

would be about 100000 for the state

tages to be derived. There should be
