to the success of this particular oc-

H. r. Hesse, manager ofthe All
lance terminal company, returned
recently from the Palouse country,
says the Spokane Chronicle He
says the farmers of Whitman
county are eager to obtain live.
stock and especially young hogs,
on almost any terms. They are
taking steps to secure shipment
of at least two train loads Of shoats
from the Mississippi valley, where
pigs can be bought at unusually
low prices this year. The railroad
companies, Mr.. Hesse says, have
expressed willingness to furnish
transportation at merely a nominal
rate in order to help the farmefs
realize on part of their damaged
grain by feeding it to hogs and the
movement is meeting with general
favor.

Settled Their DiARcuIy.

4 Two Nolin young men, Walter
Hopper and John Smith, who have
not been on terms Of peace for some
time and had met in battle on two
previous occasions, agreed the 9TH
err day to settle their difficulty once
for all with the weapons OF nature.
They met at Bakers bridge, the
scene Of former encounter be-
tween them, and in the presence Of
several interested spectators fought
valiantly for nearly thirty minutes,
each finding the other a foeman
worthy Of his fist. Young Smith
was finally vanquished, frankly ac-
knowledged his 1ofsat, and aSper-
manent truce wa declared East

That Concert.

The concert at the NJ. E. Church
last Friday night for thegbenefit Of
the Athena Band, netted just 49,
The boys are duly thankfulto those
who attended the concert, but it
seems to us their concert should
have been moro literally patroniz-
ed when we consider that 1t was
home institution. Of course, we
know times are hard and money
scarce, but was not a $35 house
drummed up for a Walla Walla
musical entertainment given in
this city three weeks ago?
And again, the band has never
charged one centlfor playing at any
supper, social or entertain
ment given in the town, and in
many cases have paid fol their sup
pers with a help-the-cause-along
spirit. Today the Athena Band,
as musical organization, is ap-
preciated more in Pendleton than
at home. Its a shame but true,
nevertheless.

Last week the Press published
Mr.. Millen's statements in regard
to looking up Mrs. ]. J. Bills goods
for board amounting to $l06.
Mrs. Bill, who is the wife of the
veterinary surgeon, whoisin trouble
financially, and who is now in
Walla Walla, came in yesterday
and presented her side Of the case,
which briefly stated, is as follows;
She alleges that Mr.. Millen has
never attached the goods, but IS
simply holding them; that he tufn-
ed herself and child out without
q change Of 9 lothing, while her
husband was away; that she was
at breakfast when the door to her
room was locked and she was with
out her hat and wraps. Also that
a friend told Mr.. Millen that she
should have her cloak and hat in
order that she might 60 out on the
street which request was complied
with. She says her husband will
pay his just obligations as soon a.
he possibly can.
The Pass, wishing to treat both
sides Of the case fairly and impair
lyly, prints the above allegations
as Mrs. Bill recounted them, and
Mr.. Millen has free recourse to
these columns if he wishes. To
say the least, the case is a deplor-
able one, and another. stern re-
minder Of the prevalent financial
condition Of the country.

A Wheeling man Induced to Endorse
Bogus Check.
A well-known hotel man OF this city
who was a member Of the Confederate
army, was the victim OF slick swlndle
several weeks ago. A well'dressed,
smooth-talking man, representing him
self to be Col. Tompkins, OF Texas, an
ex-Confederate Colonel, was introduced
to the hotel man by one OF Wheeling's
most prominent citizens. He claimed
10 be a United States Senator, and a
member OF the last Presidential Elec-
toral College. After a pleasant con-
versation, during which Col. Temp
kins: willingly agreed to do all In his
power TO aid candidate in whom the
hotel man was interested, the genial
Colonel requested him to endorse him
a check for $50 upon st. Louis bank.
The victim did so readily, as a matter
of accommodation.
The check was sent to ST. Louis, ana
returned with the information that the
bank officials did not know the man. II
was then sent 20 Houston, and the same
answer received. Nothing has been
seen or heard OF Mr.. Tompkins, the
gallant ex-Coniederate soldier, since his
clever business stroke.

Something ABOUT tho Succulent StrhN-
berry-Ths BarnesVlne District.
The season for strawberries is now at
its height, and in week or ten days
the home grown article will make its
appearance In the market. As yet the
supply has been received from Norfolk,
Va, and from Tennessee and other
points in the South. The price has
kept the succuIent berry from the table
of most persons Of moderate means,
but when the home grown article APP
pears in the market prices will drop and
the consumption will increase.
In about a week, strawberries from
points about Marietta will reach Wheel
ing, and a week later the Belmont
county article will put in an appear
ance The Belmont county belt has the
reputation of being the best in the
United States. Few people have any
idea of the amount of strawberries
raised and shipped in the country be-
tween Barnesville and Bridgeport, in
Belmont county. The Quakers have
cultivated the fruit for num-
Der OF years, and many Of
them have acquired moderate fortunes
from the revenue derived Nowhere
else are the berries so large, aud no.
where else do they have such an elegant
flavor. II was stated by prominent
commission merchant yesterday, that
train load of berries is shipped daily
from GAINESVILLE, during the season.
Ohio county farmers have heretofore
paid but little attention to the cultlva-
ton of Strawberries. but during the
past year or two, several have planted
large beds Chicago is the best market
for the BarneSville berry, and most OF
them are shipped TO that point. Prices
are quoted to-day at 10 and - cents per
box. AS the crop appears to be bounti-
full this year, il is probable that they
will be sold in Wheeling as low as 5
cents per box.
