The Spokane Fruit Fair.

Spokane is making great preparations
ior the 4th annual fruit tair to open Dc
tober 9Th, and continue till the 10th
This fair will undoubtedly be the most
successful one vet held, the citizens OIL
Spokane having been most liberal III
their subscriptions, but they will be
amply repaid by the enormous number
of people who will visit the fair. The
inducements offered exhibitors are most
liberal, cash prizes being offered, and
the amounts being such as to encourage
exhibitors.
The fair management is arranging for
grand opening day parade, twenty
gorgeous floats being in course OF con-
struclion
zine counties and districts have al
read notified the management that they
vii compete Tor the cash prizes of $40
for The nest and most artistically ar
RANGED county or district exhibits OF
fruits Grains, grasses, roots and vege-
table, in addition to the cash prizes,
the vi ner OF the first prize viii carry off
the Dolson liver Trophy, valued at
500 The county which wins this twice
in succession becomes the absolute own
er OF H. Last year Walla Walla carried
ii away, and if she succeeds in securing
it the second time, she will need to come
to Spokane with an exhibit far superior
to anything ever seen there, as the COM
petition is sure to be keen. Another lea-
ture which makes this prize all the more
desirable is the fact that the winning
county or district is given permission to
name the Goddess OF Plenty for next
years parade. The counties and dis
tricts which have already announced in
tentlon OF competing and for which space
has been awarded are the Potlatch, Nez
Perez county, Idaho, Walla Walla, Whit
man, Stevens and Asotin counties, in
Washington, Umatilla county, Or, Viii
bur district and British Columbia. Each
one OF these counties and districts are
exerting every effort to carry off the first
prize, and with the intense rivalry and
keen competition which will result, Wis
ltors at the fruit fair are assured mag
nl1cent displays along this line.

A Stabbing ARRAY.

About seven O'Clock Thursday night OF
last week while Lew Burns threshlng
crew were returning from Colfax, when
about three miles east OF the city, a
stabbing ARRAY occurred, resulting in
Ed Clements receiving six wounds in
the body ard four in the head and face
from a knife in the hands OF VIM. Nc
Donald. After the cutting, Mcdonald
walked off down the road i'll the thick
ening twilight and was soon lost to sight.
Clements was at once brought to ST.
Ignatius hospital, where after consider
able difficulty the bleeding was stopped,
and his wounds dressed. At last ac-
counts Clements was recovering.
As soon as Clements was brought to
town. the officers were notified, and the
sheriff and number OF deputies started
out to find and arrest Mcdonald. The
search for him was kept up all night
without success. The officers believe
Mcdonald was assisted in his flight by a
farmer who gave his horse, and that
the fugitive quickly made his way over
the line into Idaho. Mcdonald is de-
scribed as a man ofaboul Y years OF age,
weight 1865 pounds, about six feet TALL,
dark, thin mustache, and dressed in a
square cut hght-colored suit with broad
brimmed black hat.
Only meagre accounts OF The trouble
can be obtained. Clements has refused
to eniighten the officers and all that can
be learned is that the ,wo men, who
were riding in wagon with i've others,
suddenly jumped from Tie wagon into
road, and began to fight, Mcdonald draw
ing his knife and stabbng iemenjs rt-
peatedly. Clements had l2decp cuts on
his body, arms, head and neck, the mast
serious being wound in the right lung

SLUGGISH BLOOD.
The Cause OF mucIr, Perhaps Most
HI Health. How TO Keep 1t
clear and Circulating.

There is one thing that is admitted by
everybody, that the blood must be kept
moving If the brain is to be clear and the
health good. No one ever questions this,
and yet how few people a good circu-
lation. Sometimes the pulse seems to be
running away, and again it can hardly be
felt. This is all wrong. Any man or
woman who wishes health tand who does
not) must have an even and good scircu-
lation Of the blood.
There is only one way by which this
can be accomplished, and that is by the
use of a pure stimulant. Not al ordinary
one, but something pure, palatable and re-
liable. Such, in the highest degree, is
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey, and such it
has been proven to be for a score of
years. 1t is the most popular stimulant in
the world, and it owes its popularity
wholly to its merit. Care should be taken
to see that Duffy's and only Duffy's is
used.
Insist upon having your druggist or gro
Ger give you what you ask for. There are
all the health-giving qualities in Duffy's
Pure Malt, and you will certainly find it
SO upon trial.

FIERCE WAR IN CHINA.
YAH Kee and Hop Sing in MortEI
Combat Over Laundry Rates.

War has been declared in the Orient!
| Wal fierce and intense is waging among
queue wearing subjects of the brother of
the sun and moon.
The scene of the contest is that por-
ton of Newark avenue extending from the
brow of the Hill to the Five Corners.
For several years Wah Kee, who has
accumulated a fair share of English
words, and incidentally. it is said, not a
few American dollars, has had a monop-
oily in that portion of the Heights of the
trade of those people who prefer having
their shirts and other swashee'' done by
Celestials. Wal KEGS establishment at
No. 500 Newark avenue did a thriving
business until the arrival of his foe, in
the person of Hop Sing, who opened a
rival establishment at No. $50 Newark
avenue.
Wah Kee soon saw that his trade was
decreasing, and sundry night visits to the
neighborhood of Hop Sings linen polishing
establishment satisfied him that the bulk
of his trade had been transferred to his
rival. How to meet the emergency was
the question. At last a happy idea struck
Wah. On the following Saturday even
ing when his few remaining customers
called for their "washee" they were hand
ed a b~outonniere. They were pleased. Wah
Kee smiled over the success of his scheme
and mentally calculated on how many eX-
ira floral offerings he would require on
the following Saturday when the custom
ers who had deserted him to pay homage
to Hop Sing, had returned to their first
love.
But his JOY was short lived He soon
learned that his hated rival had trans
formed his washee establishment into d
veritable conservatory and that bouquets
large enough to be handed over the foot
lights of Cronheim's theatre We're daily
being distributed to his patrons by Hop
Sing.

REMARKABLE DECISION.
Police Justice Potts Says a Man
Is Sometimes Justifable in Re-
sisting, and Even Shoot
ing a Policeman.

Police Justice Potts in the First Grim
inal Court, this morning, rendered a re-
markable decision in the case of a man
who not only resisted arrest, but had dis
armed the policeman of his club and
revolver.
"This prisoner said the Justice, was
justified in what he did; had I been in
his place [ would have dome likewise, and
1 don't know but what would nave
shot the officer as we'll. 1t appears that
this prisoner committed no crime ana
that the officer had 10 authority for ar
resting him. When he asked for what
he was arrested the officer could give no
reasonable answer. A citizens rights
must be protected, n il they are
violated he has the right to protect him
self as best he can. If an officer should
attempt to arrest me arbitrarily. | would
resist if necessary, to the point OF shoot-
ing that officer"
Graney, of No. 227 varick street,
who was arrested on a warrant
issued on complaint of Sherman
De Clark, a patroiman attached to the
Gregory street station, who accused MIN
of resisting arrest and escaping. II
developed on examination by juSuce
Potts that the man De Clark had no
right to make the arrest, Patrick Null
hearn, of No. 235 Varick street, has been
annoyed some time by a gang OF young
men who co~ngregated about his building,
and have annoyed the tenants. He had
two of them arrested on Monday and they
were sent to thep County Jail. Justice
Potts then told Mr.. Mulhearn that he
would lend him any assistance In his power
in his endeaVorS to break up the gang.
He advised him to get the names OF the
young men who were annoying him,
swear out warrants for them and give
them to Patrolman De Clark to serve. De
Clark is the patrOlman on that beat ana
is familiar with the crowd IN that
vicinity. Night before last Mulhearn
pointed out two young men to De Clark
and said there are two of that gang, you
had better get them,
De Clark, without any warrant, other
thar Mulhearn's verbal complaint, seized
Graney and declared him under arrest.
Graney asked what he was arrested for,
De Clark said, never mind and come
along with me-" He had his club in his
hand. Graney Wrenched it from his
grasp. De Clark then drew his revolver,
Graney took that from him also, and left
the officer ~defenceless. When he had
gone some distance he threw the club
and revolver away.
De Clark was loath to speak OF his
experience, and e~ndeavored to keep it
from the knowledge of his fellow-oficers.
He went to Justice Potts yesterday n
secured a variant for Graney's arrest,
but in mis- complaint said nothing about
the club and revolver incident. Ills COM
panions learned of his discontinue, how
ever. and have not ceased poking fun at
him for permitting himself to be dis
armed by a man half his size, for Graney
is short and De Clark is very tall.
Graney is but % years old.
When Graney told his story in court this
morning, Justice Potts Immediately dis
charged him, and told him that he had
done just right.

WANT 4 JOURNAL LIE EXPOSED
Members of abe Montgomery Social

Club Deny They Are o to nd
The members of the Montgomery Social
Club, whose pleasant clubrooms are To-
Gated at No. POI Summit avenue, are much
neensed over the recent publication of an
article in the Evening Journal stating
that the organization was in the throes of
disruption, and ~intinating that it was
only a question of time before it would
cease to exist.
The members desire 9TH News to con-
tradict this. The club has a membership
of over one. hundred and fifty, and
the treasury is in a sound financial
condition. No disagreement between the
members has taken place as stated in
THE Journal and the only foundation
for the story lay in the grumbling of a
few malcontents who were suspended for
n-on-paynent of dues.
On this bare fact. a half column of I'M
truths was published in THE Journal"
The member are naturally indignant over
the publication and declare that the or
ganization was never in d more prosper
Gus condition.
AT the last meeting the following Off
GERS were elected:-John a.. Murphy,
President; Thomas a. Barden, Vice-Presi-
dent; William F. Tyler, Financial Secre-
tary; Edward G. Tyler, Recording Secre-
tary; M. w. Moore, Corresponding Secre-
tary; lanes j. Witty, Treasurer; Ber-
nard Kelly, Captain; George Sawyer, Ser
geant-at-Arms. Trustees, NJ. j. Kelly, M.
j. Moran and James &. Sesnan.
The regular meetings are held on the
first n third Thursdays CT each month.
A pool tournament among the members is
scheduled to begin at the clubhouse on the
evening of December 20. A ladies' night
will be held on January 2.
