III the Lewiston Morning Tribune
in their issue of May 10, 1899, q
defamatory article derogatory, tc
his character, The article, as pub

had attempted to burn the steamer
Spokane by means Of q lighted
candle and was arrested by Captain

Robert D, Speck, sheriff of Spo-
kane county, Wash, has suddenly
resigned, and now the republican
central committee are seemingly
anxious to know the cause of such
hasty action,
Thomas Mcclure called at this
office on Tuesday last. MIR. Nc
Guire has grown so healthy and
hearty and has such healthy
color in his face and withal is get
ting SO robust that we doubt if his
most intimate friends would recog
nize him at the first glance. Mr..
Mcclure was almost a helpless in
valid when he started from home
in Iowa, but the invigorating in
huences of our salubrious climate
has transformed him to a hale and
hearty man. Mr.. Mcclure feels
that he is renewing his youth and
is very much elated over the
changes wrought in his physical
condition.
The railroad rates to the Spo-
kane Industrial Exposition, which
opens this year October Sd and
closes the 18th, will be the same as
last year. The rate will be 2 cents
mile each way or a single fare for
the round trip. The same reduc-
ton will apply to children's rates.
This rate applies west and south
on the Northern Pacific, 0. r. & N.
and Washington and Columbia rail,
road to Pendleton, Wallula juno
ticn and Pasco. On the east it ap-
plies to Mullan and Hope, on the
Northern Pacific and O. R. & N.
All the intervening lines and
branches of these roads ere covered
by this rate. 1t is expected that
the Great Northern will give SINH
lar rates from Kalispell to We
natchee. Tickets can be purchased
any day from October 2 to October
II, and will be good for five days,
including coming and going, ex-
cept that the tickets purchased after
the 10Th will not be good after the
Goth.
The Grand Army band, of Cam
ton, o., President McKinley;s home,
and which will be at the Spokane
Industrial Exposition from October
3 to October II, is one of the big
military bands of the country. In
this splendid organization OF mu-
siclans there are Al members. They
have travelled throughout this coun-
try and in Canada and have won a
national reputation for their bril-
liant exposition and parade music.
Heretofore the biggest bands at the
fruit fairs have been bands of 25
pieces. Sixteed additional men,
making Al practiced musicians,
will be able to fill Spokane and the
exposition tent with the best band
music possible. This band is one
which President Mckinley calls
his band. The members are mostly
personal friends of his. 1t is this
band that plays for him at his re
captions in Canton, and it is this
band he took with him when he
went to Washington tc be inaugu-
rated. With such magnificent
music as this there can be no
question about the popularity OF
this years exposition.
