gagged.
Monday last, the Juvenile brass
bard honored the day by playing "St
Patricks' day in the Morning" from the
balcony of the Palace Hotel, to large
and appreciative audience in the street
The boys are progressing finely under
Prof. Harris instructions.
Prof Harris, assisted by Mr.. and
Mrs. ". J. Windus, and the Pullman
juvenile band, will give concert at Rea-
ney's hall this evening. The well-known
musical qualities of Mr.. Harris and his
support renders it positive that the en-
tertainment will be frst-class. The
price of admission is 25 cents.
Mr.. Hilton and family, recently
from Atlanta, Georgia, and father OF
Mrs. E. r. Smith, of Snake river, is
stopping with E. F. Crawford, and ex-
poets to stay with us during the summer
at least. Mr.. Hilton was engaged in an
extensive boot and shoe business in At
lanta, and we would be glad to see him
engage in some business in Pullman.
Another pleasant social event was
the surprise, last Tuesday evening, to
Mrs. Newlan, who has been visiting her
sister, Mrs NJ. Gender, for the past five
months. Mrs. Newlan being about to
start for her home in California, few of
her friends met at the Gender domicile,
and with whist, music and the usual
''jolly spread" passed the hours until
after midnight in very genial and
satisfactory manner.
The business-like appearance which
the canvas awning gives to Mcbride,
Miller & Co.'S store, as contrased with the
bleak, sheep-shed awnings which dis
grace Main street, is sufficient to justify
the expense of making kindling wood of
all wooden awnings, and the placing of
canvas in their stead. Wooden awnings
may do for a little, back woods town, but
they are not in keeping with live, pro-
gresslve town like Pullman.
"A delegation from Lewiston went
to Spokane Falls, last Monday, and had
a conference with the chief engineer of
the N. P. road, relative to an extension
of Tie Spokane " Palouse road to that
city. The delegation promised bonus
il the road would be built this season,
and, although the directors have not
acted on the matter, it is quite probable
that the company will build the road and
have it ready for business this fall.
A Private telegram received from
Senator Fariss, last night, read: "Mu-
nicipal corporation bill goes to governor
this morning." This Dill has probably
received the governors signature, and
become law by this time. A second
telegram, received from the Senator this
morning, was to the effect that the tide
land bill was passed yesterday. Senator
Fariss said that the Whitman county
delegation voted nobly against it, but
of no use.
The jury in the supreme court was
discharged, last Saturday, having
finished all business ready for trial. In
the cases Of w. H. Arthur and L. G.
Gaines, for assault with deadly weapons,
the iuries rendered verdicts Of guilty of
simple assault in both cases. Arthur is
at liberty under bonds pending an ap-
peal, and Gaines gave bail on stay of
execution on his fine of 500 and costs.
Fred Carter, the Pennington thief, was
sent to the penitentiary for two years.
The petit Jurors have been discharged
for the term.
-"Dunraven Ranch" will be finished
next week. Our next story which will
commence in two weeks, will be 1.-THE
Diamond Button" a story founded on
facts, and exceedingly interesting. A
young lawyer and reporter undertake
q little detective work, and, although
new at the business, they beat the met
ropolitan detectives in discovering the
perpetrator of a murder. The reader
soon satisfies him or her self as to how
the matter will turn out, but soon gives
up the first opinion which in turn is
abandoned for another. Those who are
not subscribers should commence
now SO as to start with the story.
School closed last Wednesday. The
progress made by one and all of the
scholars is gratifying to the parents,
and exceedingly creditable to the teach
ers. who have been untiring IL theii
efforts to advance their pupils. The
term has in every way been satisfactory
to the public, and it is regretted very
much, that it was SO short. In this
connection it may be said that there are
ouite n number who cannot afford to pay,
for private school, the amount necessary
to Justify any one in undertaking it, and
therefore some effort should be made by
the directors to raise at least part of the
