Solving the Internal Machine Case.

Eyer since Miss Gertie Spicer received
the internal machine through the local
postofhce, on March 2Sth, the authorities
have been at work following up clues,
and succeeding in discovering so much
edidence that on Wednesday VIM. Tobe
Reed, who resided near Whelan, was
arrested on the charge of having sent
the machine to the young lady.
Suspicion has al! along PORTED toward
the young man, as it was known that he
was somewhat smitten by the lady's
charms, but it was deemed best not to
cause his arrest till sufficient evidence
was obtained, and the officers now be-
lieve that they can prove his guilt.
Reid is an unmarried man, about 30
years of age, and resided with his two
brothers and mother near Whelan. Some
OF the evidence against him is in the
shape OF letters written by him to an
eastern firm inquiring as to the explosive
character OF certain substances, and it is
believed that when these were written
he was studying over the construction OF
the machine. Miss Spicer has OF late
received a number of threatening letters
signed "Jack the Ripper" which, it is
thought, are in Reid's hand writing.
The charge is most serious one, and
if proven against him will insure him
a good long term in the penitentiary.
He has been placed under $500 bonds,
and being unable to furnish the neces-
sary bondsmen, is now in the county
Jail awaiting the preliminary eXamina-
ton, which will be held July 9th, before
Justice Doolittle, at ColfaX.

Camp Tannatt.

With dusty. uniforms and faces, but
with elastic swinging strides, the agri-
cultural college cadets swept down Main
street Wednesday afternoon, apparently
none the worse for their long tramp from
Pullman. They pitched their tents in
short order and in a few moments the
peaceful quiet OF Sunnyside park was
transformed into the hustle and stir OF
military encampment.
Thursday morning the regular routine
of camp life began, as follows: ga. m..
a. M, guard mounting; 8 to 1890 a.
m. drill 2 to p. m, drill 6 p. M,
battalion parade.
This program was varied Friday by
visit from General Tannatt, who re-
viewed the battalion in the afternoon.
The boys have made very favorable
impression by their gentlemanly behaV-
ior and soldierly appearance. While
they evidently enjoy the novelty OF the
experience, there is plenty OF work con-
nected with the outing and strict dlscl-
pline is enforced in the camp. Lieuten-
ant Stockle takes a hearty interest in his
work and the cadets have caught his en-
usasm and take pride in fulfilling
their duties in soldierly manner. There
is strong but good natured rivalry be-
tween the companies A and B, and all
the members are industriously drilling
in preparation for the competitive drill
which comes off next week.
The camp is daily attracting large
numbers OF visitors. Last evening the
band went out and serenaded the cadets
who responded with songs and college
yells. A dance by the light of big bon
fire followed, which was thoroughly en-
joyed by all. The people OF Palouse have
enjoyed this visit OF the college boys and
hope they will select the same camping
ground next year.--Palouse News.

READY FOR COLLEGE.
Twenty-three young Ladies and Gentle
men Ready for College.
They are Graduated from the Prep
Glass Amid Flowers and Applause.

The spacious college chapel would not
have been large enough had it been
double it's size to accommodate the great
crowd that gathered last THURSDAY even
inc to witness the exercises which
marked the advancement OF twenty
three sweet young ladies and manly
young men from the preparatory work to
the freshman class of the college proper.
In graduating from the preparatory
course it can not be said that the mem
ters of the class are ready to center up
on the stern realities of life," but that
they are ready to battle with true college
work, and to accept it's difficulties and
pleasures, which come in about equal
portions, with willing heart and ready
hand.
That the class which has just complet-
ed its work of preparation will grace the
great institution with which it has east
its fortunes is proven, as it is composed
OF the beauty and intellect OF the Ever
green state. and the ability OF the Thurs
day night exercises can be accepted as
an index of future work. The subjects
presented by the members Of the class
were handled most admirably, and held
the attention OF the audience throughOu
the long program. The subjects, with
the names OF the graduates, were as fol.
