at Manila, in which few of the
American troops were killed and
injured. and hundreds of the cop
per colored islanders were sent to
the happy hunting grounds. AS
usual the Washington volunteers
were in the thickest of the fighting,
and the dispatches spoke particu-
larly of their unusual bravery and
coolness. One Washington boy
was wounded, and after 30 long a
time the bullet struck one of our
own volunteers, Corporal r, K.
Bucklin. formerly student in the
w. A. G. At the time Of the call
for troops young Bucklin was at
tending the college, and he went to
Waitsburg where he enlisted in Co.
K. He is a son of Nathan Buck
lin, sheriff of Kitsap county, and
has been acting as Col. Wholley's
interpreter, being an accomplished
linguist. Later reports state that
he was wounded in the hip, and
while the injury is q severe one,
his many Pullman friends hope
that he may soon be convalescent.
1.-THE Merchant of Venice" pro-
duced here last Saturday evening,
was greeted by an audience that
filled the entire auditorium and
heartily applauded the work of the
actors at various stages in the per-
formance. The production of this
Shakespearean comedy was a big
undertaking, but by persistent prac-
tice for weeks and determination
to win, most successful rendition
was the result. A number displayed
marked ability, among whom may
be mentioned Miss Ollie Downs,
who received a beautiful floral trib-
ute for her excellent impersonation
of Portia. Space forbids personal
mention of all who deserved the ap-
probation they received.
The death of Raymond Kirby
came as shock to the community.
People hardly knew he was sick tdll
the news of his death came. He
was sixteen years ofage, and gen.
eral favorite. He was in the ninth
grade of the public schools, and his
teacher speaks of him as one of his
brightest boys. His was life of
great promise cut off in its early
day. Happenings such as this
make us stand silent before the
mysteries of life and death. The
sympathy of their many friends is
with the family thus suddenly be-
reaved.
