Club Annual Election.
A QUARTERLY TEACHERS MEETING
An Embryo Dalton Gang broken Up
-Dramstics st the pid Town, snd
other Newsy Items From that Sec
tion OF the Country.

At the business meeting of the Com
mercial club Saturday evening the sub
ject Of a new depot WAS brought up and
discussed. The present structure OF
"shreds and patches" is ten years old, is
inadequate to the business requirements,
the foundations are rotted, and it is u
breeder OF sickness and disease. In the
past six months Operator Pnrdy was
taken down with fever and sent to the
hospital at Missoula; Agent Humphrey
was brought TO bed with sickness that
lasted several months; his deputy, Mr..
Graham, was able to keep to his work
only through constant dosing to ward off
fever, and Operator Briggs was at the
same time on the sick list and from the
same cause. The topic was discussed in
it's various phases, and President Prosser
was authorized to appoint committee to
confer with the proper railroad officials to
see if the long delayed new building
could not be FASTENED.
Regarding the call for food and assist
ance from Nebraska, Messrs. Hare, Weed
and Benson were appointed committee
to endeavor to secure free transportation
for several car loads of potatoes, flour,
wheat, and subscriptions of other char
acter.
The applications for membership Of G..
c. Wallace, A. C. Coburn, A. L. Stem
mons, w. o. Knox and Fred Chandler
were favorably considered.
The resignation of Assistant Sc secretary
Frank Rodman was received and G. +.
Bailey was appointed TO Gil the vacancy.
Messrs. Morrison, Fechter and Horsley
were named committee to confer with
the members of the library association
with view to rendering any assistance
in their power to keep that excellent in
stitution from closing its doors.
The house committee was authorized
to procure q canvas for covering the car
pet of the reception room, to be used at
entertainments where there is dancing.

DR.. DARRIS'S VISIT.
He meets with Great Success in this
Ctty-His offices at 'sThe Ather-
ton" Crowded Daily.

During the past week DIR. Darrin has
made great furore among the afflicted
OF this vicinity. His offices have been
crowded night and day, and phenomenal
cures are reported 1t is to be regretted
that his visit in this city is so brief, as he
leaves next Sunday morning (the 27th) to
return to his head Office in Tacoma at the
Hotel Chilberg, where he is permanently
located.
Those who have hesitated to consult
this eminent specialist should not lose
the opportunity Of seeing him. He will
be here only two days more, Friday aud
Saturday. We take pleasure in publish
ing the following cards that speak highly
OF the doctors ability and skill:
NORTH YAKIMA, Jan. 81, 1895.
To the Public-This is to certify that
DR.. Darrin successfully operated on my
daughters eye that had been crossed
since child. The eye was made straight

to acknowledge the skill OF DIR. Dsrrin
and recommend others to him that may
need his services. JACOB SRrBER.

\ Mr.. III. b. Scudder is narrating an ex-
asperating experience with the express
companies. Recently desiring to ship a
package of shoes to Boston, he found the
! rate upon them to be S2.35. He then re-
packed the same goods in two parcels,
and the two together-though weighing
more than the original one-were shipped
for $1.20. Upon being returned, the two
packages were tied together although be-
ing separate in reality, and the boxes
were the same as those used in the first
shipment. Yet the return rate was $2.35.
1t is peculiar, the gentleman thinks, that
one package should cost more than two,
when the latter outweigh the former and
that the two, tied together, should (lack-
ing centsl double the rate II sent sepa-
rately.

Rev. Booth, of Oregon, has Joined
forces with Rev. Feak, the Methods,

meetings with good success. Tuesday
night Rev. Booth presided and he proved
himself an able and convincing speaker
and no doubt will soften up many a cal

The case in which Alexander Bruce
was charged with stealing apples attract
ed an audience which completely filled
Justice Hawkins court room. Vesta
Snyder appeared for the defendant and
Jerry Rockford for the prosecution. AT
ter little light sparring on technicalitiet
the disciples of Blackstone got down tc
business and Bruce was found guilty
giving Jerry the first knock-down ant
the fight. This is the first link of a chain
which will prove binding on others who
have been committing larceny in these
parts, for Yakima City now has two full
justices and like number of constables
who will prove vigilant and pushing
against evl-doers.
