IN THE LIFE OF A WOMAN.


There sometimes come exigences in
the life of woman One morning a
few years ago saw in the newspaper
that there was young woman in New
York, whose pocketbook containing
thirth-seven dollars and thirty three
cents had been stolen, and she had
been LETT without penny at the begin
ming of winter, in a strange city, and
no work. And although she was a
stranger, / did not allow the 8 o'clock
mail to leave the lamp post on our cor
ner without carrying the thirty seven
dollars and thirty three cents. and the
! case was proved genuine.
Now, I have read all Shakespeare
tragedies, and all Victor Hugo's TRACE.

thrilling than that case and similar
cases by the hundreds and thousands
in all our large cities-young women
without money and without home and
without work in the great maelstroms
of metropolitan life When such a

SUFFER- LITTLE CHILDREN.
There is another exploit you can do,
and that is to save u child. A child

is nearly year old before it can walk
at all. For the first year and a half it

years it would starve if it had to earn

FARMERS IN MEETING
The Whitman County Farmers Alliance
held Meeting at Garfield
last Friday.
A new set of Officers Elected, and
other Business Tran
sacted

The county Farmers Alliance met at
Garfield last Friday The morning
session was consumed in the election of
officers, which resulted as follows:
President, J. B. johnson, of Colfax; vice-pres-
ident, j. NJ. Reed, of Oakesdale; secretary, J. W.
Arrasmith, of Colfax; treasurer, J. G. Potter, Of
Garfield re-elected chaplain, Luther Kerns of
Elberton; lecturer, d. f. Ravens, of ST. John:
assistant lecturer, W c. Brattain, of Farming
ton; doorkeeper, I. H. Colwell, of Oakesdale;
assistant doorkeeper, o. Young, of Evansville;
sergeant-at arms, John James, of SteptOe.
After dinner the officers were installed and
the following resolutions We're passed: First
That committee of three from different parts
OF the county operate in conjunction with W.
L. LaFollette, commissioner from Whitman to
the worlds Columbian exposition, and render
general help in making such exhibits for Whit
man at Chicago as will be commensurate with
Its magnitude, wealth, population and varied
and wonderful products.
Second-Ihat the Whitman alliance most
heartily joins the Knights of Labor and other
organizations i'll condemning the governor in al
lowing an armed party TO be quartered in the
state for the purpose of intimidating citizens in
the interest of mining corporations.
Ihird-Ihe alliance favors the commissioners
bonding the Indebtedness of Whitman to bear
interest not to exceed per cent payable in
from ten to twenty years.
Eourth-Each delegate is requested to solicit
funds from their respective local alliances for
the benefit of the locked-out miners in King
county, all funds and provisions to be deposited
IN the farmers warehouse in Garfield in care of
the treasurer
A resolution that the local alliances use their
influence to secure the reduction of county
salaries was lost, and resolution by Young
condemning the Colfax citizens for their action
IN the college matter was tabled until the next
meeting.
Secretary Arrasmith explained that the lack of
action regarding freight rates was due to the
fact that the interstate commerce commission
suit was in the hands Of the state executive
committee. The farmers thought the county
would secure a reduction to S5, and did not want
TO hamper them by endorsing other action.
The third party question was sprung by E. B.
Williams. 1t was hotly discussed but no action
was taken. The majority thought it too early
to take positive steps.
The failure to pass a resolution on the freight
rate matter was a great surprise to all.

The Military college.

The Spokane Review, Of last week,
published a letter from G. w. CopIen,
Of Latah, which led many people to be
Iieve that the Military College would
not be removed to Pullman. In reply
to Mr.. Coplen, Major Walker had the
following letter published in the Review
Of yesterday:
&C. W. Coplen's article IN your issue
of the 29th ult. requires some attention,
and yet [ shall defer a full answer until
he makes it necessary. L am sorry for
Latah, and, besides, it is not right that
so small an affair should occupy so much
of the public attention.
First-I did not apply to the trustees
for another lease Of the school The
board offered me the school for three
years, and Mr.. Coplen knew all about it.
Second The military academy is to
be taken to Pullman. If l, the principal,
and all the faculty except Captain Ellis
and all the students except those Of in
ferior age residing at Latah, and even
some Of them, go to Pullman, it is a re-
moval
Third never lost my position at
Latah. I made my position there and
[ maintained it as long as [ cared for it.
FOURTH did not put myself up tc
the highest bidder. Yes, [ was at those
schools named by G. w. Coplen, and at
one other in the United States besides
In common with all the hard workers ot
my profession I have had to suffer q
change in my field of operation; and g
W. Coplen is the unfeeling man [ have
called him before or he could not. have
used such thing in a way to detract
But discerning public will see that no
one teacher in twenty has changed 81

ident Of the college at Philomath.
was two years principal of the schools O
Brownsville. [ was three years princi
pal at Huntsville, and two years at La
tab.
He closes the paragraph with tn,
words, with possibly other counties t
hear from This political slang is be
meath the notice of any gentleman, anc
bot for the fact that he told one or tw,
malicious falsehoods in his article,
should not have noticed HIM. I expect
ed that the removal of the school from

$500 PER YEAR

there to Pullman would make some un-
pleasantness; but Coplen's want Of judg-
ment in writing is what surprises me;
not his falsehood, for know him.
Fifth-Mr. Coplen errs in the state
ment that no such funotionary as chap
lain had any place in the academy at
Latah. I held that position myself. 4
held religious services every morning
for two years. l wore the insignia OF
that rank on my shoulders all the time.
| preached many a time in the M. Il.
church at Latah. His slur about intro
ducing some Christian character In the
school at Pullman is another cowardly
thrust. He is hurt more than | am; for
he can be assured that his kind OF Meth
odism will find no introduction into the
new school. Chaplain Bailey, who has
already removed to Pullman, is young
minister Of good character. He desires
to get an education, and have taken 1t
upon myself to educate him in consider
alton Of his services at the school, al
though he is not of my church. Cop
len can be assured that there is fuller
answer coming if he pursues the subject.
Sixth-My remarks that Captain IL.
A. Ellis possible disaffectlon would be
d disaster to the school was not made
in any connection where a truthful per-
son could construe it into any laudation
of his ability, and Mr.. CopleR knows 1T.
I spare Coplen and others of Latah any
further explanations for the present. L
gave Captain Ellis the only graduation
he ever had, and but for the efforts OF
Coplen l should have spared him such
mention.
Seventh -Coplen says that a corps
Of teachers will assist Captain Ellis the
coming year. Very well, if Captain
Ellis can pay them out of the meager
income he is likely to get. If not, then
the trustees as Mr. Coplen calls them,
must go down into their own pockets,
as they did not before. Teachers of any
standing will not teach in Latah with
out q compensation. Captain FL. A.
Ellis engaged for only six months, know
ing that there is not a good living in it
for one man. The school is supported
only by its income. Such shallow pre-
tense is almost below indignation. BE
kind enough to let the matter rest; and,
for the sake Of two or three gentlemen
on the board, who moved o give me an
unsolicited paper of recommendation
and who view Coplen's indiscretion as
refrain further.
Mr., Coplen runs in, at the close of his
article, an advertisement of his own
academy, and the Review is kind enough
to print it along with his gentlemanly
personalities against me. When Pull
man wants to advertise, she will not i'm
pose upon the editor of the Review, but
will pay for an advertisement. All that
I ask is thatI ICoplen's falsehoods be cor
rected, and hik unchristian personalities
be rebuked, ahd the public mind put
right. w. S. WALKER.

A Derailed Engine.

The Lewiston.lranch train met with a
serious accident last Monday morning
just as it was leaving Moscow for Pull
man. A band Of horses attempted to
cross the track ahead of the train, but
two of them were struck by the engine,
one being killed outright, and the other
being so badly injured that it was nee
essary to kill it. The shock of striking
the horses threw the engine and tender
from the rail, and resulted in badly de-
molishing the engine. Engineer Brown
jumped from the cab, and was some
what bruised, and Fireman Henderson,
who stayed by the engine, was also
slightly injured. The engine has been
taken to the shops at Sprague for re-
pairs.

THE COLLEGE CASE.
The Supreme Court Says There is no
Necessity Existing for the Extra
ordinary Measure.
The Proper Remedy lies in an appeal,
which will be Resorted to
at once.

The supreme court filed an opinion in
the application for a writ of prohibition
commanding Judge Fremont Campbell,
of the superior court Of Pierce county
to refrain from further proceedings II
the agricultural college injunction case,
last Saturday. In closiag the opinion
the court says:
prohibition being an extraordinary
remedy is only to be resorted to in cases
where the usual and ordinary forms of
remedy are insufficient to afford redress.
ut will not be allowed to take the
place of appeal or writ of error. In ex-
parte Greene and Graham, 33 Ala IS,
Stone j., in speaking Of a bill for an in
junction, SAID the bill may abound in
lmperfections, may be fatally wanting
in necessary averments, or nay be insti-
tuted in a district in which the defend
ants were not liable to be sued. These,
if they exist, are proper matters Of de
fense and cannot be reached by this ez-
traordinary process And in exparte
Roundtree, 81 Ala. 81, the court says:
If the court is one Of established iuris-
dlction, plea that the subject matter
of particular suit lies without It's jur-
isdiction, or that the party is not amend
able to its cognizance, will ordinarily
afford full relief But, when the ques-
tion involves the legal existance and
construction of court-a denial of all
jurisdiction, and not of the particular
jurisdiction proposed to be exercised
prohibition, it seems to us, is the only
adequate remedy This, it appears to
US, is a clear and explicit statement Of
the law, and the language is peculiarly
applicable to the case at bar. We are
all of the opinion that the REALTORS have
a complete remedy by appeal from any
final Judgment that may be rendered by
the superior court, and that there is
therefore no necessity for resorting to
the extraordinary remedy of prohibition.
at was suggested on the argument
by the learned counsel for the petition
ers, that an appeal would be futile in
this case, because the same questions
would be presented on appeal that the
court is now called upon to determine.
But the fact that the questions can be
so presented is a sufficient reason for
Withholding the writ, as the above au-
thorities, and many Others that might
be cited, abundantly show"
AS the court believed the proper rem
edy lay in an appeal, writ was denied.
The attorneys will now appeal the
case, and 1T will come up before the
court in October. The attorneys for the
defense believe that the law is on their
side, and feel confident that Pullman
will come out vic torious.

Speaking For Temperance.

The new Congregational church was
too small by one-half to accommodate
the people who gathered there last Sun
day evening to listen to several citizens
Of Pullman giving their reasons for total
abstinence. Every seat in the house
was filed, and there was not a foot of
standing room left in aisle or ante-room,
and people turned away, unable to get
within the doors.
The opening remarks were made by
Rev. L. O. Baird, after which Messrs. G.
o. Morrell, j. A. Hungate, NJ G. True
and j. d. Layman spoke in the order
named.
Mr.. Morrell told of his grandfather,
who was addicted to the very moderate
use of alcoholic drinks; his father, who
used them in greater quantity, and how
the taste, the desire for strong drinks,
had been handed down to him. Here
was clear example Of the power and in
fuence of heredity. And this inheri-
tence came near bringing disastrous
results, and total abstinence was the
only remedy, and the practice of which
was duty that he owed to himself and
his friends. These were the reasons
why Mr.. Morrell was an abstainer, and
the reasons why he believed all people
should abstain from the use of liquor,
that future generations might not come
into terrible and ruinOus inheritance
Mr.. Hungate spoke on the question
from a farmers point of view. He had
not had the curse of an inherited desire
for drink to overcome, but abstained for
the sake of family and friends; that his
boys might not have the example of a
drinking father constantly before them,
and that his health might not be i'm
paired by the use of alcohol.
NJ. G. True had been a moderate user
of strong drink, but he saw the terrible
effects and the utter uselessness Of the
habit, and he gave his reasons for total
abstinence in well-spoken and effective
words. He told how easily it is for a
moderate" drinker to cross the line and
drink to excess at times, and that the
only safety was to abstain entirely. Mr..
True was followed by j. D. Layman,
who spoke briefly but earnestly on the
subject.
The audience listened to the speakers
with wrapt attention, and was deeply
interested in the stories being told by
men who have made life a great success,
and who, for the sake of self, of the
present generation and ofposterity have
sworn allegiance to the cause of temper
ance, and taken a stand in the ranks oil
total abstainers.

Pullman'S Write-up.
pairs.

Pullman was given a write-up IN the
last Pacific Magazine, the article being
copied in the HERALD of last week.
(The word 'given," however, as used
above is somewhat of misnomer, as the
Magazine lacked over 5000 of making
Pullman a present of the write-up.)
But that's business with every publica-
ton. 1t is just and proper to use all
good means to advertise a town, and es-
pecially when 1t is a town having the
many advantages of Pullman, and the
Pacific Magazine would probably be a
good medium through which to work
that advertisement, but such a write-up
as the one in the Pacific will prove of
more harm than benefit. 1t is over
drawn in places, twisted around in others
and some of the statements are without
a semblance of truth, so that, taken all
in all, it is practically worthless as an
advertisement for the town The facts
about Pullman are good enough; no need
to go ont side of them to furnish a good
writeup of the place. The business
men who put up for the article expected
something for their money and are
greatly disappointed
