SHARP RALLY IN WHEAT.
Famous Chicago Bears Advise
Friends Not to Re short.

A sharp rally took place In May ana
July wheat in Chicago about l o'clock to-
day. May advanced from ST. to 69x
before 2 o'clock and July from 60 to 6lS.
The recovery took the shorts by surprise.
and a lively scramble to cover promised
a still greater advance.
The news from Chicago partook of a
sensational character. Ed Partridge, the
king Of the bears In wheat, Is at present
In San Francisco. and Is said to have
t~elegraphed to his friends to-day that 1t
was dangerous TO be short. OF wheat at
present prices. AS Partridge has been
supposed to be short from 5000. 600 to
100000 OF May, such a statement coming
from him was like a dynamite explosion.
Two other heavy bear operators. Phil
Armour and John Dupee, are also In Cal
ifornia. 1t was at once concluded hat
the speculative trio had left the scene Of
their bearish efforts because they had
covered their shorts, and simply wanted
to be out Of the way when the storm
broke. The New York market r~ebounded
in sympathy with the excited advance In
Chicago.

YOUNG IN CRIME.
Eddie Hume, Lad of Fifteen Years, on
TIE Downward Path.
He Will Probably be Sent to the Reform
School for Time.

Eddie Humes, a lad Is or 16 years oi
age, whose parents formerly resided in
Pullman, but now live in Spokane, is
learning the way of the transgressor at a
tender age. Last Sunday the boy was
arrested in this city on the charge OF
stealing horse belonging to j. NJ. Coff-
land. At preliminary hearing before
Justice Merriman, Monday, the boy was
bound over to the superior court, and on
Tuesday he was removed to the county
Jail at Colfax. The horse in question
was removed by the lad from the stable
OF its owner, to another stable in town.
Eddie has been arrested twice before,
once on a charge of stealing chickens,
and another time on charge of burg
larry, and it is probable that the court
will decide that year or two in the re-
form school will prove beneficial for the
youthful transgressor.

Terrible Crime Averted.

| Last Tuesday night the full, round
moon cast an effulgent light over the
city of Pullman, but the inhabitants of
the city were supposed to be robed in
quiet slumber, and oblivious to the
beauties of the scene.
J. D. Layman always sleeps with one
ear turned up at an angle OF about forty
five degrees that it may catch any sus-
picious sound, even though it be so
slight that it might 90 unheeded by the
veriest watch dog in all the land. And
the ear was on duty last Tuesday night,
even while the full round moon was
casting it's halo ofsplendor over the land.
And the sounds that came to the watch
| ful ear caused the owner of the ear to
spring in terror to his feet. One glance
out into the moonlight and his worst
fears seemed verified; there, back of the
Odd Fellows block, shadowy forms were
moving back and forth. Now they would
appear in full view, only to be lost again
in the gloom surrounding the building
The blood OF the valiant j. d. now be-
came fired, and the household was ar
oused to aid in repelling the burglars"
who were, apparently breaking into
Blackman Bros. store.
Through the silent hours of the night
the watchers kept their vigil, j. d. hav-
iny made up his mind that as soon as
one of the watched appeared with his
arms full of goods from the store he
would 1ll hs anatomy full of little round
holes with bird shot at the further end
OF each hole. To this end the well-loaded
shot gun was kept at ready; but it was
not called into requisition, for after sew
eral hours OF patient waiting the mys-
terry was solved, the burglar captured
Walter Bramel, the cashier of the Farm
ers' & Traders bank, assisted by Geo.
Wagner, was taking advantage of the
bright, cloudless night to string tele-
phone wire from the bank to his home,
and the peculiar noises were made by
prying up boards in the sidewalk along
Grand street that the wire might be at
tached to the stringers.

That Game Of Football.

The college football team had been
making arrangements for game with
the Idaho university team, in this city
for Saturday, December 10th, as an
nounced i'll the HERALD last week. The
Moscow boys, however, attempted to
take the Pullman boys unawares and
unprepared, and without previous an
nouncement of a change of date came to
the Artesian city last Saturday and tried
to bluff our boys into a game at that
time. Several of the Pullman bows were
out OF town, and SO it was impossible for
them to play on that day. The Moscow
ties then set up a great howl, and claimed
the game on account of "default." The
Pullman boys acted perfectly honest IN
the matter, and were counting greatly
on the game for the 18th inst, but had
never entered into an agreement for a
game last Saturday. Had the Pullman
team backed down on any agreement it
would have been perfectly right for the
Moscow team to have claimed the gam me,
but as it is the Moscow bluff don't go.
They are afraid to meet the college boys
IN fair, square game, for they know the
result too we'll.

The Fortnightly Club.

Friday afternoon, Dec. 4th, the Fort.
nightly Club met with Mrs. W. V. Win.
dus.
The program was opened with paper
read by Mrs. II. j. jackson. Subject
Dramatic use of storm and sunshine -
Mrs. Jackson handled the subject very
successfully.
"Shakespeare's Fools" was the SUBJ
ject of a most interesting paper read by
Miss Ruth Bolton. Miss Bolton showed
much faith in and appreciation of
Shakespeare's "fool." She not only
compared him with the current "fool"
OF Shakespeare's time, but sketched his
history from earlier to later times, and
pointed out the traces of his former ex-
istence still lingering in our vocabulary.
The ladies were quite unanimous in
their opinions regarding the cause of the
decline and final disappearance of this
functionary.
Some notes on the character of Ban
quo lin Shakespeare's Macbeth) were
then read by Mrs. Fulmer. Following
these notes WAS much interesting dis
cussion, as was also in connection with
each of the following exercises which
were participated in by all present:
(a) What is the date of the play fixed
by the words of Macbeth in Act ", Sec.
I-"And some see that two-fold balls
and treble sceptsrs csrry?"
(b) Explain Witches mummy ", /,

(c) Give your impressions of Scene IL,
and the effect OF the knocking.
i(d) Is Lady Macbeth's swoon, on
hearing of the murder of the grooms,
real or feigned- the grounds of your
opinion?
te) Does Macbeth, or Lady Macbeth,
say III, II, 16l; "Did not you speak,"
(h The lesson of the play? Gle
who weakly complies with evil is justly
involved and destroyed by it," is the
terse answer given to this last question
by that able Shakespearean student,
DR.. Hermann Ulrici..
The musical event of the afternoon was
Mrs. W. j. Windus' Interpretation Of
Sullivan's Last Chord. The artistic rem
dering of this gem OF songs was most
thoroughly enjoyed.
After Current Topics, presented by
Mrs. w. b. Wallis, and the usual bus
mess session, the club adjourned. The

with Mrs. 6. Ii. Watt.
