Rev. Father Sweere officiating. Messrs.
John and Richard Curry acted as ushers.
Miss Annie Otter accompanied the bride
to the altar and Mr.. Joseph Mechtel the
groom. The bride was attired in stylish
street dress and hat, which but enhanced
the beauty with which nature has favored
her. The service lasted for an hour, and
was especially noticeable on account OF
the excellence of the music furnished by
the choir. At its close Mr.. and Mrs. Dit

mate friends. partook of an elegant we'd

Open THE RESERVATION
Il is The Key 10 Yakima'S Progress
aud Prosperity.
NORTH YAKIMA'S BIRTHDAY RECALLED


II there IL one thing that would benefit
Yakima more than another at this june
ture. or any other jnncture, of our affairs
it would be the opening of the Yakima
Indian reservation to settlement. The
Commercial club is undoubtedly doing
much good work. but it could direct its
efforts in no better channel than in an
endeavor to bring about this much.to be
desired result. THE HERALD representa-
tive has talked with a number OF gentle.
men in the Indian service and they feel
confident of its accomplishment If the
proper argument is brought to bear on
congress. We already have one friend
there in Senator John l.. Wilson, and
Senator Squire and the two representa-
tives should be converted into active par
tisans in this cause.
The Yakima Indian reservation EN-
braces about $4,000 acres of land, over
300, 600 of which is choice farming land
and the balance grazing and timber land.
The reserve has been surveyed with a
view to allotment, and in fact the allot-
ment was made over year ago by
Special Agent Rankin. The next step to
be taken is the appointment by congress
of commissioners to treat with the In
dams, and that can be accomplished
during the coming session il the Com
mercial club will take the matter in hand
and push it forward steadily, firmly and
intelligenty. The Yakima reserve is one
of the choicest bodies of land in the Pa.
cific northwest and is capable of main
tanning population Of from sixty to one
hundred thousand people, yet in the
main it lies fallow and gives but mea'
gre support to less than two thousand
Indians. Should it be thrown open the
Indians would receive lands of an extent
which would admit OF their handling
them with profit, and at the same time
the sale OF the balance would place them
in the enviable position at present occu-
pied by the Nez Perces, who have in the
main taken the money awarded them
and are using it in the construction of
better houses and in the stocking and i'm.
provement OF their farms. The opening
OF the reservation should certainly prove
beneficial to the Indians, and it would
give an impetus to Yakima county that
could be accomplished no other way.
Let the Commercial club take this work
in hand and never lag until the presi-
dents proclamation has been signed
which formally opens the reserve to set
Element and progress.

HOW moutac Whs Co~eo'
A volume of "reminiscences OF Spurgeon,
the celebrated English pulpit orator,
contains the following anecdote:
One day a visitor called at Nightingale
lane with q request that he might be
allowed to see Mr.. Spurgeon at once on
urgent business. He was told that an
interview could not be had just then,
but persistency prevailed. Tn entering
the study the stranger closed the door,
stood with his back to it and began:
whats this you've been telling the
people at the tabernacle about me?"
"Why nothing my friend."e
"Oh yes you have, and I've come to
have it out with you. I'm not going to
stand this sort Of thing" Seeing that
the man was stout and strong and that
he carried stick like himself. Mr.. Spur
geon adopted a soothing matter-of fact,
reasoning tone: "Well, nv friend, you
are stranger 10 me. don't think /
ever saw you before, and certainly don't
know you. If l know nothing about you
can't tell any thing, can II" 'No."
said the man, II suppose you can't"
and then, after a pause, asked: "Have
you brother?" Eyes" as he much
like you?" "No | can't say he is"
Then came furious burst: mo il
vast your brother, it was you, and
mean to settle the matter. Do you know
that have been in an asylum" "Have
you? | am sorry to hear that" Eyes,
and when was there | was so strong
that it took ten men to hold me-" The
man began to flourish his stick, and,
making threatening advances, from
which there seemed no possibility of es-
cape, and then asked; 'Are you strong? ?"
This was the preachers opportunity, and
power of will over brute strength at once
asserted itself. "Yes, am terri6eally -

Photographic cure for Drunkness.
We commend this story to the attention
of our temperance contemporaries, mere
ly adding" as Mr.. Richard Swiveller
would say, that ''if it isn't true, it's very
good: "a woman in Salemville, Pa,
determined that her husband should
know how he looked when he was drunk.
She knew how he looked well enough,
and needed not that any man should
tell her. Her children also snew by
sad experience, but the man himself had
a very imperfect idea of the state of his
case. So once, when he came home and
fell into maudlin slumber, she sent for
a photographer to come forthwith, and
ON his arrival she set before him his
work. She ordered the photographer to
photograph her husband as he sat in the
chair. The photographer did his work.
and did it well; and when the photo
graph was finished and laid beside the
husbands place at breakfast it was a
revelation, and the sobe red gentleman
experience decidedly new sensation.
There was no need of explanation; the
thing explained itself. There was no
chance for contradiction; the sun tells no
lies. There was no room for argument /;
a reform has taken place."

A COURTEOUS DUEL.
Dead wood Jack wished to He
Counted as y Gentleman.

Dea dwood Jack wished TO he
| Counted as Gentleman.
Deadwood Jack was no scholar. but he
insisted that he was gentleman. The
same was the case with Montana Jim,
says the Detroit Free Press. Therefore,
when We learned that Jack had come
over TO Custer City to "have it out" with
Jim we felt assured that it would be a
genteel affair from start to finish. Jack
had put up at the Last Chance saloon,
written his name on the ace Of spades
and sent messenger over to the Bald
Eagles Roost to say to Jim:
Compliments of Deadwood Jack, and
he hopes you have no engagement to
prevent your meeting on the public
square this evening to settle the little
misunderstanding that has existed for
several months"
And Jim wrote his name on the ace OF
clubs and instructed the messenger to
say:
Compliments Of Montana Jim, and
he assures ID. J. that 1t will afford him
the utmost pleasure to shoot at MIN at
exactly O'Clock this evening at the
place mentioned"
Each man was about town during the
afternoon, and they encountered each
other dozen times. On every occasion
each raised his bat and bowed, and ex-
pressed the hope that the other was well
and happy. At 6 O'Clock each retired to
his headquarters and carefully cleaned
and loaded his two guns. There was no
Dragging or boasting-no posing 70. effect.
Both were game men and both dead
shots, and the chances were even up be-
tween them. No one knew the cause OF
the trouble, and neither man entered
into an explanation. AtexsctlJ O'Clock
they appeared on opposite sides Of the
square, each with his arms folded. They
approached within 80 feet of each other
and bowed, and then Rocky Mountain
Joe gave the word. Four hands dropped
down four revolvers were ierked from
their holsters, and the first two shots
made one report. Then their was pop !!
pop! pop! faster than one could count,
and OF sudden both men went down.
1t was Deadwood Jack who slowly reach
ed his feet a moment later. He had
pulled down his gun to fire when the
referee held up his hand and said:
"That'll do Jack-he's passed in!"
Montana Jim had four bullets in him
-Deadwood Jack two. The latter stood
with the blood dripping from his hip and
shoulder as the crowd closed in and then
quietly observed:
Gentlemen, let the funeral be con-
Quoted in a dignified, genteel fashion,
and then send me the BILL"

An important Industry Threatened

Complaints are continually being re-
ceived Of the depredations of cattle
thieves, especially in the Wide Hollow
and Ahtanum districts, and the losses
are not only becoming burdensome to the
stock raisers, but are affecting the entire
community, in so much as a black eye is
being given 10 very important indus
try, that OF the winter feeding of beef
cattle for the sound markets. Mr.. W. f.
Courtney, the representative of Fry &
Bruhn, of Seattle, informs The HERALD
that his firm has 1900 head OF cattle feed.
ing on the Splawn ranch, and that a
part of the band will shortly be taken to
DR.. Morrison's ranch, where 400 tons OF
hay have been purchased. These, with
the exception of 100 head owned by
Thomas Carstens, are the only cattle now
being fed here, although there is feed and
accommodations for 10000 head, and
this number would be wintered here were
it not for the fear of thieves.
Mr.. Courtney says that Yakima offers
the best feeding grounds in the north
west, but last winter Fry & Bruhn had
over $1,000 worth of cattle stolen, and the
Pacific Meat company was driven from
here through similar cause. This year
Fry & Bruhn have had no direct losses,
but they have been Obliged to employ adj
ditional men to guard the cattle and
watch the roads. In this way only have
they been enabled to hold their own, but
at an expense that has become very bur-
densome. and Mr.. Courtney claims that
unless vigorous policy is pursued to
break up the raiding aud bring the
thieves to justice the butchers will be
obliged to take their stock elsew here.

A LITTLE BOYS PET.

No limit has ever been found to the
uses of small boys pocket. One day
at school little girl put up her hand to
attract attention.
Teacher, Johnny's got caterpillar"
Johnny was of course called to the desk
made to surrender the cherished posses
sion, and sent to his seat with a repri-
mand. In about two minutes the same
small hand waved in the air again and
the same small voice complained
Teacher, Johnny's got another cater
pillarl"
A second surrender of the caterpillar
and second admonition followed.
Hardly had silence once more settled
over the room, when a frantic waving
oil the hand was followed by perfect
Shrek ofdsmay:
Teacher, Johnny's got whole pocket
full Of caterpiIars!"
This time the teachers dismay equaled
her pupils, and Johnny was promptly
sent home with his brood of strange
pets.
