lay until it was stopped, which was a
somewhat tedious process. Hardly had
she. recovered from this mishap and
made a fresh start when her engines
again broke down.
After repairing this damage and con-
tinuing her course southwark, Just as
the coast of Cuba was sighted she broke
her shaft, fell into the trough of the sea
and lay helpless and in peril. Just then
a steamer hove in sight, and the Ameri-
can captain hoisted signal of distress,
which was promptly responded to by
the stranger, which steamed up, threw
the man-of-war hawser and towed her
into the port of Havana. And, strange
to say, the savior of this formidable
man -of-war was the little .Styx, which
she had proudly steamed out of New
York harbor for the purpose of demol-
ishing.
But it is to be hoped, and there is no
reason to fear the cotrary, that this
scrap of history will not be repeated in
the case of the Itata and the Charles ton.
And yet there is little room to doubt
that the sympathies of the American
people are rather with the Chilean in
surgents than with the selfish dictator,
Balmdceda, and therefore with the pur
pose of the Itata to aid the former.
This sympathy, however, would not ex-
tend to fight with an American cruis-
er, and especially not with SO great
favorite as is the Charleston.

Pullman Did Not Do 1t.

Last week The Newspaper offered its heartiest
congratulations to Pullman upon her good for
tune as the selected location for the agricultural
college. Its congratulations then were sincere.
Its withdrawal of those words now it makes.
The Newspaper is not in the habit of regretting
what it has said; but a people who would, as
Pullman did, fling an insult of its greatest ca
pacity in the faces of Pennington Palouse CITY.
Garfield and Colfax, whose people strained every
nerve and spent their money like water that
Whitman county might win, are not deserving
of congratulRtion or the smallest need of good
will. Pullman hung us in eifigy, amid the iibes
and the jeers of its people! 1t was a grievous,
ranking and resembles insult! Pullman should
have been content that she won by what is now
widely charged as crooked means. There has
seldom been bastard deed for which retribution
has not been melted out"
Had Pullman hung any town in effigy
after her glorious victory there would
have been an excuse for the Pennington
Newspaper in publishing the above arti-
Gle; but, as it is, the effigy business hay
ing been most clearly explained, there is
no cause for the TRADE.
A few thoughtless boys, believing that
the occasion warrented some uncommon
demonstration, did, late at night, obtain

IT IS said that several towns in this
county are raising money for the pur-
pose Of contesting the legality of the To-
cation of the agricultural college at Pull
man. They seem to have forgotten
their magnanimous speeches made before
the site was selected, in which they de-
clared that it would make them supreme
ly happy to have it located anywhere
in Whitman county. Neighbors, pre-
tend you have a little manhood, and use
your influence to retain the location
where it is, or you may be the means Of
losing it to the county after all.-Gar-

attempted Castor injunction suit, gave
the following sound sentiment: His
claim is an unjust one and is not made
in good faith, but is intended to defeat
the location of the college at Pullman,

that Palouse City may seek by Doodle

The stockholders of the Farmers
Warehouse Company of Garfield met
Monday for their first annual settlement,
the result of which proved highly graft
flying. A dividend of about 81, 400 was
declared; over so per cent. on the money
invested.
The dividend on the stock, however,
they consider small share of the gains.
The condition of affairs had the elevator
companies been the only buyers at this
point can only be conjectured, but it
would certainly have meant a great loss
to the wheat producers. The farmers of
the vicinity are probably not far wrong
when they estimate that by the con-
struction and operation of their ware
house they made, or saved, rather. five
or SIX times the cost of the building.
The experiment has proven SO sue
cessful that the company will probably
double its storage capacity by building
another warehouse in time to receive the
next crop. And the prospects are grow

On Wednesday, the 29th, as the train
on the Moscow branch of the Union Pa
cifc was running at full speed near
Shawnee, it ran into band of fine horses
belonging to Joe Evans, of South Pa
louise, and killed three of the horses, in
jured two or three more SO they had to
be killed, and two more received quite
serious bruises. The amount at which
those eight horses were valued would
fence many miles of the railroad, and
had it been done it would have saved

An electric street railway is the latest
venture in Moscow, but whether it will
be success or not depends upon how
readily the capital stock is subscribed
S. G. Rosenberg and A. L. Spotswood
are the originators of the enterprise and
both are positive that it will not be a
failure. They drew up papers yester
day and sold $4,000 of the stock IN half
an hour. There are 800 shares Of par
value of $50 each, making a total of
$4,000 to complete the work. The pro-
position is to build double track from
University Park north through Main
street as far as Second or First, thence
east to Polk, north on Polk to B street,
east on B to Hayes and north on Hayes
to the fair grounds. The track is to be
laid in ballast and built substantially.
M. J. Shields took twenty shares and
declared he would buy as many more if
it should be necessary for the success of
the concern. The promoters don't
claim that the proposed road will pay
dividends before year or two, but they
do calculate that it will defray operating
expenses. Meanwhile, the city will in
crease in population and wealth, the
business of the road will grow proper
tionally and the franchise become valu-
able. 1t is too early to know what the
success of the undertaking will be. but
one thing certain is that the men who
are pushing it are among the substan-
tial capitalists of the Palouse.

Last week the news was brought to
this city, says the Tekoa Globe, that
Wesly Bertholf, we'll known here, had
left the country, taking with him his
brothers wife, Mrs. James Bertholf
The deserted husband appeared in town
few days later and confirmed the re-
port. No one knows the direction the
couple went, and the wife left no letters
of explanation or anything by which a
clue to her whereabouts can be had.
The husband suspicioned nothing and
until the time when he realized that his
wife was gone, thought himself blessed
with a faithful wife and happy home.
1t seems that the false brother had been
stopping at the home of James for some
time and it is now supposed that an I'M
lawful intimacy has existed for several

porter that could he apprehend them,

While digging in well for F. NJ.
Ellsworth, on Mill street, the other day,
a specimen of ore was found by work
man which has excited considerable
comment and attention in the city. The
ore is copper, very rich, containing, as
experts with acids say, perhaps as much
as Topper cent. of pure copper. The find
is an irregular detached piece, two or
three inches thick by six inches long
and wide. 1t weighs some five pounds
The fact that the find is loose and de-
tached gives rise to the theory that it
must have been transported from the
ledge sometime long ago, by volcanic
or glacial action. Where the ledge is
from which it came is the one important
question. Some have ventured the
opinion that the fragment found was
carried down from some of the surround
ing hills in land slide to its location
where found. In that case, which seems
reasonable, the ledge from which the
fragment came is in some hillside con-
tiguous to Colfax. In many of the
rocky cliffs rising along the Palouse
river indications of the presence of cop
per are easily noticeable. And the find
ing of this detached fragment, so nearly
pure, leads to the belief that the ore may
be here in large quantities. Who will
be the fortunate finder of the mother
lode ?-Commoner.

Certain Work Was Not Done.
The report of Assistant County Engineer
/ Blandford submitted 70 ths county COM
/ missioners a year and a half ago concerning
/ the Casey and Musgroye Creek canals VIII
be before the commissioners again soon, in
all nrobability. The MORNING NEWS made a
] misleading statement Yesterday When 1t
ssid Cont Blandford's reco lamentations as
Ia the Casey canal were not adopted
nv the cOmmissiO. ers. The rec )mme1da-
t;ors we're adopted. The improvements
! recommended, including the digging Of an
arm of the canal through Cuyler swamp,
were ordered to be carried into effect, d
that order now stands upon the DOCKS o. the
| county commissioners. Why IL has never
! hen executed is a question which the
/ county commissioners and the county en-
ginaaT can settle themselves. The
! question will be asked at the next
meeting Of the board when the majority Of
the member are present.
The assertion has been openly made within
tie last few days by several prominent gel-
tlemen that the county convict gang has
been engaged for the last five months in
draining private property, where the re-
suits would be Of no advantage to the public
generally.
Something was also said IN the article
yesterday morning about the digging OF
the canal through a ridge for a mile and
half alongside the Cuyler swamp, when 1t
should have been dug through the swamp.
There is some history connected with this.
The Casey canaI was dug by
drainage commission appointed by
the governor in 1877, in accordance with
an act of the legisla ure appropriating one
third of the state taxes from this county
for one year for the purposes of drainage 10
be expended by the commission. The one
third OF the state tax amounted to about
$35 900, which was expended i'll digging the
canal, not by the county co commissioners, but
by the drainage commission appointed by
the governor
The canal was dug through the ridge be-
cause the right of way could not
be obtained through Cuyer swamp
The swamp was then owned by DR.. Paul
Pritchard, who utilized it In the cultivation
of his rice plantation and who placed a
price upon the right Of way, so that the
commission. having no money for this pur-
pose, was obliged to leave the swamp on one
side. For this very reason the Pritchard farm
of l 400 acres was afterward bought by the
county commissioners TO allow Of better
drainage. Capt. Blanohard's survey was or
dered by the commissioners in 1887 with the
special object in view of draining the
swamp, and increasing the availability Of
the canal The survey was made and the
recommendations adopted. That was nine
teen months ago. and no work has been
done yet.
The drainage commission went out Of
existence in 1882 having been in a state of
inocuous desuetuds for several years pre-
vious TO that time,
