IKE emma steamer NlCtVTld, aiiN-

big cargo of Eastern wares. The bulk
of the shipment consisted of 1894 bales
of raw silk, valued at 1888 1885,, "a
cases of silk goods and 125 bales OF
waste silk, which was loaded in ten
baggage cars and rushed East in bond.

SUIT was filed in the United States
court at Tacoma Saturday by Mrs. Ser
cite Freeman of Elma, Chehalis county
against the Northern Pacific Railroad
company. She alleges that her hus-
band, r. A. Freeman, was driving
across the company's track near Elma
on April 90, 1895, when train struck
his wagon and killed him. BY reason
of deep cut it was impossible to see
the train approaching. She asks $15-
600 damages.
In case which was appealed from
Whitman county, State Superintend-
ent Bean interpreted the law strictly,
and decided that even poverty was not
a good excuse for not attending the
annual county teachers institute. The
teacher stated that he did not have
enough money to pay his expenses
while attending the institute, and
therefore did not go; so the County
Superintendent revoked his secOn d
grade certificate. 1t was shown that
the teacher has recently closed g.
months school where his salary was
$50 month. The law requires the
attendance of all teachers holding
certificates to teach, and it will be
seen tina: nothing short OF severe i'll
ness or death can excuse non-atten-
dance at these annual sessions.
The absence of the fall rains, which
is giving the people of the Sound coun-
try such remarkably fine weather, is a
climate feature not confined to this
coast, says the Seattle Times. All
along the Atlantic seaboard, from the
mouth of the St. Law renee to Florida,
a similar condition prevails, and be-
sides the usual summer rains have been
wanting. The consequence is that
something very much like q water
famine is on in places. In the north
ern section logs by the hundreds OF
thousands are held in the streams. In
parts of the state of Maine the farmers
who have deep wells are doing a lucra.
tive business selling water and in
Pennsylvania water trains are new
feature of the railway service. The
last year has been dry one all through
the Middle West. In parts of Europe
the same condition has existed. For q
time Paris was distressed by a water
famine. In England almost tropical
weather has prevailed at times during
the summer, and throughout Contra
Europe the rainfall has been excep
tionally low. In truth, in some of the
most populous and wealthy parts o.
the world the dlouth has been such
that if it were long continued the in
habitants would be forced to desert
them. We are fortunate in this Sec
ton in having water supply fed b,
the inexhaustible stores of snow ant
ice preserved in the mountains
and fine spring water is everywhere

Something Of a halt seems to have

while no big jump is expected. it is
thought that prices will continue TO
show an upward tendency.
