A meeting OF the Armory ASSOCIATION
was held Tuesday evening and much en-.
thusiasm was shown in favor of going
ahead with the project OF building COM
bined armory and thea,er. There 10

complete the payments on the lots pur
chased, and it is proposed that subscrip-
tons to the amount Of $500 in cash and
$3.50 in labor be raised among the mem.
bers OF the two companies, many of whom
are carpenters and from whom subscrip-
tions in work would be fully as accept
able as in cash. 1t is the intention OF the
association to at once push this project.
Fred Janeck and Sidney Noble returned
from Portland Wednesday afternoon, hay
ing travelled as far as The DalIes by boat
and the balance Of the distance by team.
They report that the Regulator is the only
boat now running to The Dalles, and no
freight is carried excepting that known as
fast freight, for which the tariff is very
high, as the goods have to be moved
around the Cascades from the lower
river by team.
Deputy Sheriff A. L. Dilley caught the
thief who stole the horses OF J. q. Law
renee and Brother Hall, at Ellensburgh,
and Sheriff Simmons left on the train this
morning to bring the culprit down.
One Of the horses was in the DOS
session Of the prisoner, while the other
had been turned loose at the. head of the
Wenas.
S. c. Henton, United States commission
er, arrived from Ellensburgh on the freight
Tuesday, and returned on the west bound
passenger. He says trestle No l24, four
miles beyond Ellensburgh, was fired Mon
day night and about thirty feet of its length
destroyed. All bridges and trestles this
side of the tunnel are now under guard.

Of forming a State Fair Aid association,
was we'll attended and enthusiastic, al.
though the large crowd which eventually
dlled the hall took a long time in getting
together.
Col. Prosser called the meeting to order.
A. b. Weed was then named as chairman
and A. d. Ross, secretary.
The chairman made q short address,
relative TO the work to be accomplished,
and was ably seconded In remarks made
by Messrs. Prosser, Parker, Hewlett,
Snively, Wbitson aud Freeman
President Parker, of the State Fair asso
citation, stated that $500 in cash and
$1,000 10 work would suffice to erect the
necessary buildings for this fall and sug.
gested that some organization looking to
the securing OF money as temporary
loan until January next. The legislature
will undoubte lily take action in the form
OF an appropriation for state fair purposes,
at that time. He said other state insti.
tutions had adopted the plan, and had
profited very much by following it.
Mr.. Snively contended that, did Yak
lima not hold a fair this fall, she would
lose her right to do so forever more--and
her location expenditures would have
been in vain. He moved land the
motion was unanimously carried) that
the people Of Yakima county form an as

the State Fair Aid association; the object
OF the corporation being to aid or furnish
means for the state fair commissioners in
sufficient magnitude to carry on state

maintenance Of buildings.
A subscription list as follows, was i'm.

The following gentlemen were then
elected as trustees for the ne y associa-
ton: A. b. Weed, DR.. Morrison. James
M. Gilbert, W. L. Jones, Col. L. S. How
lett. These trustees met yesterday and
app ,inted soliciting committees, who will
canvass the city and county in the en-
deavor to procure the funds necessary.
Carpenters and other laborers who may
desire to subscribe for any amount OF
stock, may have an opportunity by call
ing upon Secretary James M. Gilbert, of
the Commercial club, at his Office in the
F. r. Reed building. Here is chance
to secure work at good prices and sure
pay--the latter only being deferred in
point Of time. 1t is sure in January.
In the face Of apparently insurmounta-
BILE obstacles, the Commercial club tall
honor to it, has not only adopted but has
carried almost to completion the suggest
ions Of President Parker, OF the State Fair
commission. Hard times have not ma.
terially affected the progress OF the move
ment, although the stock subscribed by
citizens has been taken in small amounts
by individual purchasers.
Up to Wednesday noon the list circu-
lated by Messrs. A. B. Weed and James
M. Gilbert had been signed by merchants
and business men in an amount almost
reaching $500, while the agreement in
the hands OF Mr.. A. F. Switzer had upon
it promises to take stock and pay therefor
in labor in the sum Of $500.
That is very good showing for these
committees as result OF one days work.
They state that, OF all the residents of this
city asked to contribute by the purchase
of stock in cash, S. down and S. in one
month upon each share of the value Of $40,
only two lonely men refused. One OF
these afterward reconsidered.
To a reporter the committee stated that
they expected to raise fully 5000 more.
II they do, then the state fair is assured
for September. There is no reason why
they should be unsuccessful, II the assist
ance already obtained may be considered
as criterion.
Secretary Reed, OF the Fair commission,
states that the premium list for the COM
ing meeting is now being gone over, for
the last time preparatory to being given to
the printers. I. is 30 adjusted and
arranged, in the matter of proportionate
amounts in premiums and purses for
races, that the former exceed the latter
as two to one. In other words, fully
$4,000 will be given as cash prizes in ex.
hibitions and for speeding contests. OF
this sum, $4,000 will be given the farmer,
the fruit grower and the machinist for
displays Of agriculture, live stock and
kindred exhibits" while the race track
captures $1,000 as its quota. The HERALD
believes that this arrangement will be
cheerfully accepted by all competitors in
whatever departments.

At the election Captain James NJ.

chosen major Of the brigade. vice Major
Johnson, of Spokane, whose name was
not mentioned in this connection. This
leaves Capt. F. r. Reed second ranking
captain Of the cavalry. Adjutant Rob.

ago, will now probably have to step

ride on train manned by those whom
they were pleased to call "scabs," and
the result will probably be a wholesale
court-martial. They should have been
stripped OF their uniforms and disbanded
at the first signs Of disloyalty.
All trains coming east in the past few
days, including those carrying the mill
tia boys, were fired upon while passing
through the Puyallup reservation and one
or two Of the towns this side.
There are rumors that one OF the off.

The game was for purse Of $50. offered

been very partial to Yakima judging from
the score.

In the first inning Mr.. Coffin uniortun.

1t was the close Of a perfect summer day
and the crimson rays Of sunset were reflected
with a softened splendor in the cool SHIN
mering depths Of the river where it winds
softly past Medmenham Abbey and so down
TO NARROW and Ceveden. Two people in a
punt, drifting quietly with the stream, felt
the beauty and stiffness OF the hour and
watched the rpples silently until he, seeing
the sadness Of her downcast face, said: Il

Yet there had been moments when he felt
that il would not be easy to part from her
and say nothing Noword Of love had passed
between them. but were they only friends?
And rs each day Of companionship brought
them closer together he found that there were
subtle attractions about Barbara that he had
not taken into account and that would be
harder to resist than he had bargained for A

the least of these. and in addition she had
surprised him more than once with Il glimpse
OF something that was beyond the ordinary
cleyerness OF a well-educated and intelligent
girl. She had resources OF conversation that
one did not look for. as a rule. in a quite
young and pretty woman, and showed signs
OF intellectual knowledge and of a habit of
criticism and judgment, even in matters be-
yond her own sphere that vet revealed them

A beautiful woman he could understand

that concerned the brain, while yielding mag

But the girl who was absolutely devoid of
conceit or pedantry. who could dance and

his return, had recalled an evening seven
years ago when he said good-by to girl who
loved him, and in whose eyes he needed no
chance of bravery to make him hero.
Don't forget me" she said when they
parted. Had he forgotten her? Well, it had
been better so. They would have been SO
poor; or else they must have waited for
years till both were tired out perhaps. He
remembered what sweet letters she had writ
ten to him, and how he felt it harder after
each one to write and tell her that it was for
himself that he dreaded poverty as much as
for her. He put it off each time and at last
he took refuge in silence. Men are so different
from women in that way; they prefer to end
anything unpleasant abruptly, with as little
explanation as possible, while women must
always excuse and explain themselves; it is a
necessity OF their nature.
He left two letters unanswered. Then came
third. She was beset with tender anxiety
about him; was he i'll or in trouble? Or had
her letters by chance miscarried? Would he
not send her one line to tell her the reason of
his silence? So he wrote briefly and deci-
sively, telling her that he was too poor to
marry her, and 80 it would be better for him
not to write. He had not ceased to love her,
but the case was hopeless, and he could not
forgive himself for having won her love. She
must forget him, and If she could, forgive
him. There came no answer; he had not ex-
pected one. year later, just before he
