witnessed by large crowd, and consid-
ering the small amount Of money ex-
pended in this cause the display was Ger

FOURTH OF JULY rIREcRACKERs.
The receipts Of the grand stand for the
two days amounted 10 $6l.
The Salvationists showed their patriot
ism by appearing in force on the evening
Of the Fourth, with the women dressed
In white wearing sashes OF the national
colors.
Northern Pacific Agent and Ex-mayor
Baldwin and Fred Agate were among the
distinguished Ellensburgers who cele-
brated with US.
The proclamation Of the mayor and the
exertions Of the police were . dsmper on
the irecracker trade, and also prevented
timid people from being scared to death
by the usual detonations.
The citizens Of Yakima feel that the
committees who had the various depart
ments of the celebration in charge are
entitled to much praise for the creditable
display they secured at very moderate
outlay. The executive committee, con-
sisting Of Messrs. George Vance, Nye
Taggard and John Reed, worked consis-
tently and faithfully and they should
have the satisfaction of knowing that
their efforts are appreciated. Scarcely
less important were the sub-com mittees
and the success Of their untiring labors
were to be seen in every department.
These committees were as follows
Sports and fire works, DIR. G. J. Hill and
Fred Chandler. Ball.. G. Liggett and
Alex Sinclair. Liberty car and procession
Frank Liggett and James Walton.
Frank II. Hunter, the cashier at the
depot, proved, Is drum major, q valuable
acquisition to the band. He is master
Of the baton, twisting 1t around his body
and twirling it in the air with the dexter.
ity of a prize winner. He certainly is an
artist in this line.
Henry and William Rhemke, leading
merchants OF Ellensburg and the owners
OF the Gle Elum coal mine celebrated the
Fourth in Yakima. They were accom-
panied by their families.
In the way OF casualties the day was
exceptionally free. A man named Cham
berlin was run over by wagon, owing to
his own csrelessness, but was uninjured.
The only other one reported was the
powder burning of Judge Henton's five
year-old son while associated with an.
other youngster in sending up skyrockets.
The burns were on the face and neck.
On the afternoon OF the Fourth there
was clay pigeon Shoot" rs birds, for
purse Of $40, which was won by II. B.
Rigg, who made the splendid record Of
10 birds. The following is the score !:
Rigg, 10; Fisher, Is; Churchill, 10; Grit
fin, IL; Bartholet, 10, Metzger, 7, Stone
road, 7 and Armitsge, 8.
The fire department justly feels much
elated over Its efforts In bringing the
celebration to successful conclusion.
The members worked earnestly and eff
fectivsly and The HERALD lifts its som.
brero in their honor.

According to dispatch from Paris,
Mark Twain has signed a contract for a
lecture tour around the world, and he will
shortly proceed to Australia and India.
The reason for his entering into the con.

TO confirm some recent reports as to his
misfortunes, though probably the extent
of them is somewhat overdrawn.-
