in Pullman.
What People are Doing and how
They are Doing it.

They are Doing it.
The Ford Stock Company did mot
meet with very warm reception SAtur-
day night, the date of their last perfor-
nance here, and the curtain was rung
down before the last act was half COM
pleted. The disturbance raised by some
OF the spectators in the gallery was the
cause OF the unfinished show. Nothing
was lost, however, by not seeing the en-
tertainment to the end, although that is
no excuse for the boisterous conduct of
the disturbers. If the show was too
rank to look at, these people should have
left the house, and not have raised this
unseemly disturbance. Others had paid
their money to see the ''show," and they
we're entitled to see it to the end if they
were 30 inclined-and their stomachs
could stand it.
The wood dealers OF Vollmer and
other points in the timbered regions are
making a mistake in forcing the price of
wood SO high as they are doing at pres
ent, many having decided that it is
cheaper to burn coal than wood, and are
therefore investing in coal stoves. This
viii do considerable damage to the wood
industry, and the damage will undoubt-
edly be permanent. The way the price
of wood is mounting skyward, a wood
fire viii soon be luxury that only the
rich can indulge in. =
