cial club, is the endeavor to enlist capital
In canning factory, to utilize over.ripe

ial result.
Deputy Marshals Catron and Guilland,
with several guards and IA prisoners, left
on Sunday night for Walla Wslla to at
tend United States court. The depot
that evening held all of the above crowd,
several gentlemen who are to act as
jurors in the above named court, and q
dozen or more passengers for various
points In the east-three or four OF whom
were ladies. The one dingy lamp in the
2x4 waiting room was so blackened with
smoke that it gave forth no light; the
| fire in the little box stove was entirely
| out-and the room was one mass of to-
bacco smoke and smothered profanity.
To add to the general cheerfulness, the
ii :55 train was just one hour late. The
ladies stood the trial nobly for awhile,
but were finally forced to succumb and
were taken to the offices Of the agent
until the train arrived. All this is very
pleasant for the people of Yakima as we'll
as the travelling public. The depot at
Toppenish has larger and neater wait
ing room than has North Yakima--yet
there is no comparison between the two
places in point OF revenue to the North
ern Pacific. When We get our new depot
all this will be changed; but--it's only a
depot on paper as yet.
The small boys Of the city were strictly
in evidence on Halloween. and the re-
suits of particularly pranksh exploits
were to be seen on Friday morning. The
only really Objectionable piece of work
seen by HERALD reporter was the daub-
ing of Caspar Fuerbach's barber shop
windows with some pitchy substance
which required that gentleman's time for
half day in removing it. For the rest,
signs were misplaced, gates taken from
their hinges, great logs laid over side
walks, wagon roads barred up, etc. There
was plenty of fun in the air, all night
long.
A man driving a rack heavily loaded
with hay careessly drove too near the

store of l.. j. Rogers and stopped. 1t re-
quired all day Tuesday to gather up the
spilled alfalfa.

n echt.
The only permanent cure for chronic
catarrh is to thoroughly expel the poison
from the system by the faithful and per
sistent use of Ayers Ssrsaparilla. This
wonderful remedy proves successful when
all other treatment has failed to relieve
the sufferer.
