some empty dry goods boxes piled mp
in the rear yard. From the top of
these boxes he could step on to the
roof of a shed attached to Wichman' S
iewely establishment From here he
could swing himself to the coping en-
circling the Ehlers block.
The window was forced open with
the aid of hammer and chisel. Once
on the second floor it was a moments
work to run down the steps leading
to the main floor. The cash drawer
was pulled open, but fortunately Man

THE MAJORITY AGAINST II TAN Another STORE ROBBED RNR IS NOT WORRIED
DOUBLING EWA'S CAPITAL STOCK
NOT POPULAR.
At This Mornings Special Meeting the
Stockholders Decided to Defer Ac-
ton for Half Year.

The proposition of doubling the cap
ital stock of the Eva Plantation COM
pany came before the stockholders at
a special meeting in President Ather-
tons offices in the Castle & Cooke
building this morning.
There was a good attendance of
stockholders, all of whom evinced the
greatest interest in the scheme. While
the proposition had it's supporters IT
was very evident that a large major

capital stock.
However nothing definite was doi,e
and at the conclusion of the discussion
it was voted to postpone all action on
the matter until a meeting of the
stockholders to be called by the pres

Base Ball on Union Flat.

Last Sunday the invincible Pull
man base ball nine went to Union
Flat looking for new worlds t. CON
quer. They found them, but when
the moon rose on the field of battle
the worlds they sought were tinged
deep red hue, and nine Pullman
ties now never speak of base ball
that briny tears do not gently
trickle down their furrowed cheeks.
The time of game was five hours
and forty minutes; this much IS
known, but beyond that reports are
conflicting. The Pullmanltes say
that the game was tie, each side
having so tailies, but at times they
forget themselves, and admit that
the Union Flat boys had one score
the best of them with haH an in
ming coming. The U',.ssG Flat boys
say the score was 53 to Al in their
favor.
But to set all talk aside, and to
prove to the citizens of Pullman
that our ball tossers really know
how to play the game, number OF
our enterprising and public spirited
citizens have decided to sacrifice
themselves on the green diamond
and give all Pullman a chance to
witness true ball. To that end Il
challenge is hereby issued to the
team, to play game at some date
in the near future, q team to be
picked from the chaIlengers af fol
lows:

son, Cash Gaddis, L. Pooke. Geo. East
man, umpire.
The details of the game may be
be arranged with DR.. A. e. Shaw
If the Pullman base ball team re-
ally thinks it can play ball, aud de-
sires to protect its honor on the
field, it will lose no time In accept
ing this challenge.

Fight With a Horse.

Samuel Morris, of Rossland, had an
awful encounter with a vicious horse
yesterday morning. He was attempting
to break the animal, common little
cayuse when it made rush for him and
grabbed him by the ann, between the
wrist and elbow. Then the brute started
to drag him around, trying to jump on
him. Morris crled loudly for help, but
the horse kept hold on his arm. Even
when assistance arrived he could not be
made to let go. He was beaten over the
head, but held to the mans arm with
his teeth. An effort to pry his jaws open
failed and his mouth WAS jabbed with
knives, but the beast held onto the man
and it was finally found necessary to cut
the animals throat. His jaws We're only
pried open and the man released when it
dropped dead. Dir. Steely was sent for.
He found that both bones of Morris arm
were badly crushed and the flesh hor-
ribly lacerated. The injured member
will probably have to be amputated.-

The Wheat Trade,

The season of 1896 81 is fast wan.
ing and in another three weeks We
will have entered upon the new sea
son. In Eastern Oregon and Wash
ington harvesting operations are
now in progress, and new wheat
will probably begin to arrive here
about August |. The crop east OF
the Cascades will undoubtedly be
an abundant one. From interviews
with leading exporters and prom
inent interior merchants we are led
to believe that the output of Oregon
and Washington will be about 90
100000 bushels. From the present
temper of the trade, prices for East
ern oregon and Washington wheat
will be about Csc per bushel, and
Valley about Csc. In the Valley
prospects for full crop are fatter-
ing. Prices are profitable to the
farmer, and an early selling is an
ticipated by some.-Portland Re-
view.

Harvest is Near, and Crops Will

Seattle, Wash. July 13, 1897.

Seattle, Wash. July 13, 1897.
The early part of the week end
ing Monday, July 18th, was cool
and showery, but the latter part
was clear and warm
Sunshine at last" joyfully writes
our correspondent at Menlo. In
deed, the long spell of cool, cloudy
and showery weather in June and
the early part of this month was
something undreamed of. 1t was
getting rather monotonous toward
the last and there was some appre-
hension of damage from it. But
the harmful effects were principally
to hay, and small fruits, and the
benefit to other crops so as to greatly
overbalance all injury.
Since the Sth inst. the warm,
sunny weather has been excellent
for haying, and farmers have not
lost their opportunity, but accord
ing to all accounts have made hay
while the sun shone. The grass
has been found badly lodged, but
with good weather, hay-maying will
be vigorously pushed. 1t will be
the principal employment of most
farmers for the succeeding two
weeks.
The warmer weather has given a
great impetus to gardens and field
crops. The weather could hardly
have been better than it has for the
growth and filling of wheat, and in
Eastern Washington the winter
wheat is fast nearing maturity.
The spring wheat is growing splen-
didly, but harvesting will be later
than usual, because the crop was
late in terminating. Nothing has
vet occurred to lessen the exceed
ingly bright prospects for a heavy
/ cT0n.
