ordinary embarrassments. II always did
and, as long as men and women remain
human. 1t always will. In it, subtle force
as 1t is, may be found every active germ
OF human ambition. 1t Is, when wisely
directed, the power that guides the pro
gress OF the world and surcharges the
social atmosphere with it's most sacred
element.
An incident OF much local interest
occurred last week and few Of its de-
tails are worthy Of note in these columns.
Henry Carpenter, one Of the best known
and most successful young men in the
county, has for some months been atten-
tive as q cbevalier to Miss Lena Carpen-
ter, a very attractive and vivacious young
lady, veil known and highly esteemed
throughout the county. She is the
daughter of Assessor o. v. Carpenter, one
Of the leading citizens Of proud Yakima.
Although Henry is quite well-to-do, large
ly interested in the local hop business
and very upright and industrious young
man, Miss Lena's parents received with
profound regret the news that she was
betrothed to her cousin. After carefully
considering the matter, they demonstrated
with the young lady, urging her to heed
their counsel and declaring that they
would forever withhold their consent.
The result Of this plea, however, was not
satisfactory to the parents and they pres
emily requested the young man to cease
calling at the young lady's home. In
order to make assurance doubly sure,
Miss Lena's parents sent her to Puyallup
on visit with friends. The young lady
went quite willingly, knowing that this
bit OF strategy would afford the verv OPP
portunity she and her lover desired in
order to consummate their purpose. SIZE
went--and soon the gallant cousin fol-
lowed, reaching Tacoma last Thursday.
He sought the home of his sweetheart's
friends and on Friday last, at the resi-.
dence OF DR.. w. b. Wilcockson, l422 I
street, Tacoma, the determined couple
linked their fortunes with the bond Of
Hymen.
Mr.. Carpenter Immediately returned
with his pretty bride to North Yak
ina, arranged few minor business de-
tails and boarded the train on Monday
last for New York, where they will reside.
Many good wishes of legion of friends
in Yakima county follow the young
couple to their new home.

AVERY BAD RoAD.-Many complaints
are being made concerning the terrible
condition OF the wagon road across the
reservation toward the Klickitat country
and the question arose as to whether or
not the county commissioners had author
ity to use public money in it's improve
ment. While they may not be able to do
this, they could probably aid largely in
having reservation authorities to give that
important thoroughfare much-needed at,
tention. North Yakima is profoundly in
terested In that road in business way.
People come from 40 to 80 miles to trade
here, bu; those who, to get here, have to
travel that road have begun to look about
for another trade-center. There are five
or six bridges across the Satas, all OF
which were recently washed out by the
high water. The timber used in their
construction could be used again II pre-

wailing and gnashing their teeth over the
hardship and they very reasonably look
Yakimaward for some assistance.

A BRUTAL PAREsT.-The meanest man
on the face of the earth is he who cruelty
and brutality beats his wife or his
child. A type Of this class Of hui
man brutes resides in this city His
victim is his child, little girl Of about
IL or Is summers. Two or three times
since his recent location in this city he
has beaten this little child until neigh
boring roomers had to 20 to her rescue.
On Sunday last he repeated his brutality,
it is said, and the child was rescued 10
the usual manner. On former occa-
sion an officer was called. The fiendish
father was taken down stairs to the side
walk, but the officer released hun on his
promise to forego the pleasure OF beating
his child again. The mans wife is the
little girls stepmother. She has repeat
eddy defended the child and attempted to
protect her, but she in turn, it is alleged,
is also abused for her interference. Such
worthless and wret he'd specimen OF
mankind should be horsewhipped within
degree of bis miserable existence and
then driven from town. The child should
be cared for by people who will treat her
with ordinary humaneness. If this man
repeat this revolving offense in this town
We will not only publish his name and
his history. but we will see that he shall
answer before q court of justice for his
brutality.
