MERCHANTS OFFER PREMIUMS

A full meeting of the board of fair
commissioners convened Monday and
proceeded to consider and dispose of
large amount of correspondence relative
to matters of space in the pavilion, spec
iaI premiums offered by manufacturers,
and numerous other matters.
A letter was read from the secretary of
war granting permission for the troops at
Walla Walls to attend the fair provided
the fair commissioners foot the bill of ex-
penses.
The board has made every effort to pre-
pare for fair that shall have as many
new features as possible, and along this
line Commissioner Lee suggested fine
arts hall to be built exclusively for ladies.
The idea is an excellent one, and will be
carried out If lack Of funds does not pre-
vent.
Sundry bills were allowed and few
finishing touches were made to the pre-
MUM list, after which the board adj
iourned.

Der of North Yakima merchants on the

A BRUTAL FATHER CONVICTED.

William Bergdolt and his wife, of No.
1.510 Willow avenue, Hoboken, were tried
in the Special Sessions Court yesterday
afternoon for assault and battery on
Bergdolt's son, Willie, a frail, sickly
looking little fellow. It was evidently
a case of cruel step-mother; but the
woman was acquitted because there was
no evidence that h had maltreated the
boy on May s, the day mentioned in the
complaint, and evidence of her cruelty
on other days could not be admitted. The
n~eighbors became so incensed at the
cruelties practiced on the boy that they
called the attention of the authorities to
them and the Bergdolts were arrested.
DR.. Stack examined thesboy and found
fifteen cuts ON his back, a swelling on
his left shoulder and numerous bruises
on other parts of his body. The boys
eyes were black and blue and his nerv-
GUS, frightened manne showed that he
was in a state of abject terror. Mrs.
Bergdob admitted that she punished the
boy frequently, but gave as an excuse
that he was addicted to lynn and was
generally wicked. She used q strap to
beat him with. The evidence showed
that Bergdolt was in the habit of beat-
ing his son in a very inhuman manner
and Judge Blair convicted him

ANXIOUS 70 ENLIST.
Greenville Turner's Want to Fight
the Spaniards.

In the Greenville Turn Verein there
are many members who are anxious to
enlist in Uncle Sans army, but are dis
appointed because the President has not
issued a call for more volunteers. These
young men when the war first broke Out
signified their intention of erlisting If the
occasion presented itself, and are stiil
waiting for the chance to saw their coun-
try.
About forty of the Turner's would JON
the army If a call for volunteers is is
sued, and they would be captained ly
President Brinkmar of the Verein. These
young athletes would make excellent sol-
diers being in fine form from the constant
drilling Of many years. Since the Wal
scare the members LAY been doing ex-
ira drilling under Turnmaster George
Waters, and have reached a high degree
of proficiency.
The young aides of the Verein are ais
patriotic and some of them want to serve
as nurses in this war, but it is doubtful
if their services will ever be solicited, as
the Spaniards couldn't even nit a battle
ship much less wound a soldier. Treas
urer Frederick Hahn said that IL there
was a cal for volunteers he would open
a recruiting office in the Verein's head-
quarters on DapfOrth avenue
