| A friend of DR.. Wendte gives the fol-
lowing information concerning his busy
career:
Rev. c. w. Wendte is native of Bos-
| ton, Mass. His parents We're German
immigrants from Hanover. The father
died early and the mother supported the
| family by teaching her native tongue.
She still survives in vigorous old age,
an honored member of her sons house
hold
| After attending the Chauncey Hall
and other schools in Boston, and also
spending year in study in Hanover,
Germany, young Wendte became clerk
in wholesale woolen house in Boston.
Three years of hard service and his
| health became seriously affected. Ar
irving in May, 1861, via Panama, in San
Francisco, the younger son entered what
| is now the Union iron works as an as
sistant draughtsman to Irving NJ Scott.
| The elder, through the mediation of
Thomas Starr King, who took warm
| interest in the studious youth, was ap-
pointed by the newly elected Union gov
ernor, Leland Stanford, secretary to the
board of port wardens, which office he
also held during a portion of Governor
Lows term Of Office.
! In 1866 he sailed for the east and en-
tered the Divinity school of Harvard
college, graduating in 1862 By invitation
of Rev. Robert Collyer and others, he
began missionary movement in Chi
cago which resulted in the formation of
| the Fourth Unitarian-now All Souls
church. The great fire of 1871 left his
home untouched and the asylum of many
driven out by the flames-among others
of Robert Collyer and his family. Dur
ing the trying winter that followed Mr..
Wendte was necessarily devoted to the
relief of the unfortunate. He established
and conducted two large supply depots
which aided over ten thousand people.
Ten days after the great fire he organ
lied in his study the Peoples college,
known as the Chicago Atheneum, which
has aided twenty-five thousand persons
in obtaining practical education
George M. Pullman, recently deceased
was it's president For nearly four years
Mr.. Wendte was in charge of this in
stitution. In 1878 he dedicated the new
church on Thirtieth street and Indiana
avenue. The following year, exhausted
| by Overwork, he spent six months in Eu-
| rope.
In 1876 he accepted pulpit in Cincin-
natl, where he remained seven years.
In 1888 he accepted a call to Newport
r. l., as pastor of the beautiful church
just erected by the Unitarians Of the
world to their great leader. William Ell
lery Claiming, in his birthplace.
In 1886 Mr.. Wendte returned to Califor-
MIA as missionary superintendent of the
American Unitarian association.
In 1896 he married Miss Abbie Louise
Grant, native daughter of California
Mr. Wendte holds that as he has beer
settled for eleven years in Oakland, most
of the time with double duty as mission
airy superintendent, he is entitled to the
relief which a change in his field of labor
will bring him. 1t was this conviction
combined with the needs and opportuni-
ties Of the Unitarian situation in Los
Angeles which has induced him to ac-
cept the fiattering call to the pulpit OF
Unity church.

To Entertain the Editors.

The editor of the HERALD is in
receipt of a card of invitation
from Mr.. H. Bolster, manager
Of the Spokane Fruit Fair, to accept
the hospitality of the Fruit Fair
management on Monday, Sept. 13.
The management of the Fair
attributes its past success to the
influence of the press, and now
desires to meet with the editors on
the date named and confer with
them with a view to making the
Fair still greater success. Each
editor will be provided with free
transportation to and from Spokane
and hotel accommodations and
will be royalty entertained.
The editorial fraternity will
certainly appreciate this specia
mark of distiction accorded then
and the Fruit Fair management
will lose nothing thereby.

An Outrage.

Frank Murray still languishes
in jail in Rathdrum. This is an
outrage pure and simple.
Everybody, even to the man
who sHore to the warrant against
Murray, knows that by every rule
of justice Joe Beeler, and Joe
Beeler alone, should suffer for the
often sc that has been wrongfully
fastened upon Frank Murray. 1t
ID not customary in this country to
send men to Jail on technicalities
alone.
The editor of the HERALD is one
among many who has known
Frank Murray we'll and favorably
ever since he came to the country
six years ago. He has always been
an industrious, law-abiding citizen.
He may have some weaknesses,
like other Western men, but Grim
inal intents-never. No man can
point to a mean act of Frank
Murray.
Frank was simply hired man at
Beeler's. In the Beeler failure he
lost over a years wages due him.
He had expected that Beeler would
be able to pay up by the 18th OF
August and then it was his inten-
ton to pay a long contemplated
visit to his old home in the far
East. But instead, he languishes
in Jail, the victim, AS we believe, Of
the dirtiest official action that ever
disgraced the annals of Kootena
county.

HORSES HAVE COLDS.
Service ON the Capital Traction Az
fected by the Weather.


The damp and rainy weather which has
continued through 30 many days has been
rather severely felt in the operation of the
Pennsylvania avenue and 18th street lines
OF the Capital Traction Railway Co. With
a supply Of horses that was hastily gotten
together from various parts of the country,
and at the best none too large the I'M
favorable weather has caused q good deal
OF sickness. colds principally, among the
animals. and as a result the service has
not been as good as It would be IL the
horses were In condition.
When horses were used exclusively on
this road II was the experience of the Of
hcials that at least two weeks were re-
quired to get a horse accustomed to the
requirements of the service. 1t was the
practice then to use a horse on one trip
during the day, and then lay him of until
the next day, but now, OF course, that has
Teen impossible. as all the horses were
needed as soon as they could be brought
10 the city.
1t has been impossible to give them the
care and attention which is required to get
the best results, end SO ii has happened
that the sick list is considerably larger
than is usual. 1t is believed, however that
the epidemic of colds, if il may be called
such. will be checked as soon as The wealth
er conditions improve, and then the man
agement OF the road expect that the pres
ent service will be expedited.
At present the time is somewhat slower
than ii was when the horse cars were used
prior to the Introduction of the cable. From
about four minutes slower, but II is
pected that the rate of speed will be in
creased and that the service will be i'm
proved to that extent
