There is large, fine body of govern
ment land vacant in the southern part
of Yakima, Wn., that is worthy the at
tention of homesteaders. The land
is outside of the railroad limits, and
can be bought for s1.25 an acre, or can
be filed on for SIG, which is Sc cheaper
than filing lands within the railroad
limits. There are parts Of three
townships, well watered, and with fine
soil and timber, near the Big Klicki-
tat.
In general the crop prospects are
good in the Palouse. Fall wheat is
looking exceptionally good, while a
few fields of spring-sown wheat on
stubble land give promise of being rath-
er short and are little off color. The
past few days have been rather too hot
but the evil effect is largely overcome
by the cool nights. The indications
are for fair average crop, or judging
from the absence of complaint, even
better.

Death of Bob IngersOlI.

Col. Robert G.. Ingersoll recently died
at his home, Walston-on Hudson, near
Dobbs Ferry, N. Y. His death was sudden
and unexpected and resulted from heart
disease, from which he had suffered since
1896. In that year, during the Republi-
can national convention, he was taken ill
and had to return home. He never fully
recovered from the attack of heart dis
ease and was under the care of physicians
constantly.
Robert Green Ingersoll was born in
Dresden, N. Y, August IL, 1888. His
father was Congregational clergyman of
such broad views as to cause dissension
between himself and his parish. The sons
boyhood was spent in Wisconsin and Hin
OILS, where the family removed in lS43.
After studying law he opened an office
in Shawneetown, ILL.,, with his brother
Eben, who was subsequently member of
congress. Both engaged in politics, but
the surroundings were uncongenial, and
in 1857 they removed to Peoria. In 1860
Robert was Democratic candidate for
congress but was defeated. In 1862 he be-
came colonel of the Eleventh Illinois cav.
airy, and year aud half later united
with the Republican party. In 1866 he
was appointed attorney general for Hin
OILS. At the national Republican conven.
ton in 1876 he proposed the name Of
James G. Blaine for the presidential NOM
nation in speech that attracted much
attention. From that time his services
as campaign orator were in demand
throughout the country. In 1877 he re-
fused the post of minister to Germany.
He took part in numerous noted law suits
in all parts of the country, and was coun.
sci OF the so-called star-route conspirators,
whose trial ended in acquittal in 1883. He
was well known by his books, pamphlets
and speeches directed against the Chris.
tan religion. He published "The Gods"
Ghosts" "Some Mistakes of Moses"
Prose Poems and Selections" and large
number of minor works.

Cleveland, July 25.-The scenes OF wild
disorder and violence witnessed in this
city, in connection with the car strike
were succeeded this morning by marked
quietness.
The city authorities were in conference
nearly all night, and early this morning
a call was issued for battery A of the
First Ohio artillery, three companies OF
the Tenth Ohio infantry and the Lover
ture rifles. With the addition of these
organizations the military force to cope
with the street car strike now numbers
800 men, the city's entire militia force.
Next will come the call for state troops.
Mob violence will be suppressed at any
cost.
About 0 o'clock last night a suburban
car was blown up between Wicklifle and
Willoughby, about 10 miles east of Cleve-
land. The outrage was not reported TO
the Cleveland police until this morning.
The car was well filed with passengers.
The passengers were badly shaken up and
made rush for the doors.
A l5-year-old boy named Cornzich was
shot and instantly killed by Ralph Haw-
ley, non-union conductor, this afternoon
Cornzich was II passenger on Broadway
car and made some remark to the con.
ductor. Hawley was arrested.
An immense mob, enraged at the shoot
ing, quickly gathered at the scene, and
the police charged upon the crowd and
made several arrests. The mob was par.
TALLY dispersed, but soon another congre-
gated. Another Broadway car came down
Orange street and was stoned at Perry
street. The police again charged the mob
with their clubs and dispersed it.
The state board OF arbitration has de
cided it cannot bring about settlement
of the strike by bringing the officials OF
the Big Consolidated and the strikers TO-
gether to talk over their grievances, and
will abandon all efforts towards settle
ment or public investigation of the strike.
