Hobos Arrested.

Marshal Lanning assisted by a
posse of men, arrested three hobos
Monday night in the property of J.
NJ. Palmerton, situated on the hill
side northwest of town. The house
is furnished, besides containing
canned fruit, preserves, etc. The
nobos were living on a grand scale,

the arrest. They were at once
brought before Justice Merriman,
charged with burglary, and com
mitted to the lookup to await the
trial. The trial was set for Tues
dav afternoon at two o'clock. Mr..
Lanning, having occasion to be at
the lookup about IL o'clock, the
hobos asked when they could have
dinner. Mr.. Lanning told them
that he would return in about 15
minutes and take them to dinner,
and left them. When the time

but, like the Dutchman's fleas, they
were gone. They had made a
wrench of hard piece of wood,
with which they took off a large
strap hinge that was on the inside
of the cooler, and by using the hinge
as a lever pried off the boards
around little window and made
their escape.
Marshal Lanning sent men in
several directions immediately to
look for the flown birds, but they

A True Bear Story.

The above title will perhaps seem
to some Of the HERALD readers in
congruous, but when three very re-
liable persons testify that the fol-
lowing story is absolutely true, it
should satisfy the most skeptical OF
our readers.
Monday morning, the 10th inst,
Professors Webster and Doane and
the editor pro tempore of the HER
AID started for Warren's Meadows,
forty-fve miles from Pullman, for a
few days outing. The meadows
were reached Tuesday noon, and
after finding a suitable place for the
camp. q short order dinner was pre-
pared. And if you, gentle reader,
have ever "camped" in the noun
tains you can appreciate the zeal
with which these three hungries
partook of that dinner. But the
fun came when the dishes (or pans)
were to be washed, i. e. it was fun
for the other two to see Prof. Web
ster wash them. He did it scien-
tifcally, however, and gained quite

COLLEGE regents UEET.
All Members of the Board Present
at their Meeting This Week.
Water Supply Question Claimed q
Share of their Time.

The regents of the college met in
the regents room. in the Admins
tration building, Monday and Tues
day of this week. After the usual
routine business was transacted, the
bids Of the Northern Pacific and O.
r. & n. railroads to furnish coal for
the coming year were considered.
The bid of the 0. r. d n. was ac-
cepted, it being 5 cts. to 10 cts. per
ton cheaper than that of the n. P.
Wood is to be used mostly,
The next thing of much import
ance considered by the board was
the college water supply and the
demands of the city council with
reference thereto. The city author
tiles claimed that the college was
using a great quantity Of water for
which 1t was not paying, and after
investigation stated to the board
the terms on which the council
would hereafter settle for the water
consumed by the college. The state
built and owns the reservoir, all the
pipes on the college grounds, and a
considerable portion of the main
coming into town. In view of these
facts the regents thought the de-
mands Of the council unreasonable,
and would not accept its terms OF
settlement. The regents then pro-
posed to put in a meter at their own
expense, and pay for the extra
water used ut a reasonable rate pei
one thousan3 gallons. But the
council put the rate SO high that the
regents finally determined to put in
pump Of Their own, use their own
+ servoir, and thus solve the water
supply problem. The result of il
is that the city of Pullman will be
deprived of the use of the reservoir
on college Hill, the rate of insurance
will probably increase, those living
OH the high points be obliged to &c
without water as the cid reservoir
is SO low that it will not force the
water into the houses on these high
places. This again lessons the force
of the water flow, an important
point in any water supply system

II J Jackson then came before
the board and asked to be furnished
with enough electricity from The
college pant to supply the town
After careful consideration, tht
board agreed to furnish him enough
, electricity to run 200 lamps of 16
candle power capacity for 800 pei
month, and 40 cts. per month fol
each additional lamp. Mr.. Jack
son says he will have the wiring
done, and everything ready to fur
nish the town with electric lights
by October 1st.
The board then adjourned unit
September. All members of the
board were present.

A Practical Test.

Dom Pedro, the last Emperor of Bra.
zil, was man of practical turn of mind,
as the following story told of him by a
Spanish newspaper we'll illustrates.
He once gave audience to a young
engineer who came to show him a new
appliance for stopping railway engines
The Emperor was pleased with the idea
but wished to put it to practical test.
'Day after Tomorrow" said he, shave
your engine ready" We will have it
coupled to my saloon carriage and start.
When going at full speed will give tn G
signal to stop, and then we shall see how
your invention works"
At the appointed time all was in rea.
diness. The Emperor entered his car
riage, the young inventor mounted bis
engine and on they sped for several miles
as fast as they could go. There came
no signal, and the engineer began to feal
that the Emperor had gone to sleep.
Suddenly the engine came to a sharp
curve around the edge of cliff, when, to
his horror, on the tract directly ahead Of
them the engineer saw huge bowlder.
He had just sufficient presence of mind
to turn the crank of his brake and pull
the engine up within couple of yards
of the fatal block.
Here the Emperor put his head out
of the car window and demanded to
know the cause of the sudden stoppage.
The engineer pointed to the rock, and
much to his surprise Dom Pedro began
to laugh.
"Push it to one side and go Oh" he
said, calmly.
The engineer obeyed, and kicking the
stone, was still further astonished to see
it crumble to pieces before him.
1t was nothing more nor less than 8
block of starch, which the Emperor ha6
made and placed ON the rails the nigh
before.-HarYer' Round Table.
