then adjourned to Masoh's opera house.
where fully go people were witne.ses TO-
the ceremony which, performed by Msj y
Morton, of Seattle, united Edward Peter
son and Bertha Keopp. After the cere
mony, in whirh each swore eternal fealiy

"Hallelujah" and rang numberess bell,
and waved their hand and laughed and

made speech, ditto the groom. likewis,

TO the barracks to eat ice cream aud hav,
good time. Ii was the event OF the year
for the Salvation army people, and the,
enjoyed it to its uttevmost. Captain Mar,
Norwood, hy the way, has ACCOMPLISHED
world OF good for her associates in the
army. She has buided up an associa
ton that was well on the way Ia
total disruption under her predecessor
and has succeeded solely by her woman
Illness, gentIeness and devotion to her
cause. She has the absolute respect not
alone OF every gentleman in Yakima, but
streets. as well. Even the most bitter
opponent to the work of the army must
agree that, like the ancient X ,man yen
eral who was made scavenger for his
glorious victories, she reflects honor upon
her position, even though il may not
give prominence TO herself. She is good
little woman who is molly filing yer,
hard position.
The Tacoma papers week ago noted
the issuance OF 4 marriage license to Mr.
X. S. Coe and Miss Louisa Evans. Mr..
Coe, formerly OF the First National bank
of this city. aud Miss Louisa Evans, until
recently thetypeuriter and assistant clerk
for Messrs. Whitson & Parker, were in Ia
coma at the time and we're together, but
Mr.. Coe, who was Seen by y HERALD rep
resentative at Seattle on Tuesday last,
denies the marriage and requests the con-
tradiction of the report He said Miss
Evans" was in Olympia and proposed to
return to North Yakima, but that he had
served his connection with the bank, AMI
had made new one, and would here
after travel for Seattle house and in it,
interest make periodical visits to this land
of watermelons, peaclies. green corn and
lovely women. The denial OF the mar
riage was in words positive, but there is
no question but what the license was
issued. and probably Hymens' blessing
has found resting place on the heads of
these two Young people.
The matter of the boulevard from this
sity to the fair grounds has been again
looked into. and probably finally aban-
doned, for this year, at least. Chairman
Weed, from the Commercial club COM
mittee, states that a route was planned
along section lines from the fair grounds
to an intersection with First street, and
arrangements made TO extend Second
street to an equal length with First street.
4. G. Burllngame was employed to begin
the work but, after some little labor had
been performed, he was compelled to
leave for the Sound. 1t is now thought
there will not be sufficient time to con.
struct the road before the opening OF the
fair, and the committee will therefore
take no further action.
The probabilities are that Yakima has
struck it rich on potatoes this year. The
crop OF South Dakota, Kansas, Nebraska
and Iowa is practically failure and the
middle west has no Murphys in sight.
Dealers are very anxious and inquiries
and offers for the Yakima crop are getting
numerous. Sixty cents a hundred. on
the cars, is the highest price offered as
yet, but a Tacoma merchant informed a
HERALD representative, the other day,
that but few weeks would pass before
dealers would he here really and anxious

for every ton OF Burbanks they can get.
A dispensation has been received from
Grand Patron Darbey to organize chap
ter OF the Eastern Star in this city, under
the title "Syringa Chapter, U. d., Order
Eastern Star" The officers appointed
are: Mrs. Z. Frank, W. NJ. ; ]. A. Roeh'
ford, W. p; Mrs. g. ID. Murane, 4. M
The chapter will be instituted on Tuesday
evening next at Masonic hail, with eigh'
teen charer members. The order il
somewhat Masonic, in that only the
widows, wives, daughters and sisters OF
Masons are eligible to membership.
| 1t is something more than a rumor, yet
hardly a positive fact, 50 far as known
but verybody thinks that II. j. Kuech'
Ter has sold his Second street residence &c
MIR. CYRUS Walker. Indeed, Mr. kuech'
| Ter has purchased tickets for his wife's
| trip across the ocean to her old home,
which trip she was not to make unless
the sale was contaminated. 1t is very
probable. therefore. that Yakima may
congratulate herself upon having secured
rs permanent residents this wealthy and
desirable family.
All OF the fruit donated to the State
Fair by the Washington Worlds fair
