passed or about TO pass Resolutions of
Sympathy" for the brave little Republic
of South Africa. let the Ancient City.

British domination. be not slow in pass
ing resolutions Of similar nature for the
grand principle Of liberty.

off the British yoke, one hundred years
ago, when. in broad daylight and with
out Disgusting ourselves as Indians. we
compelled the master of the Peggy
Stewart to burn the odious vessel with
his own hands, in order to crafty the feel
ings of the people.
Let US do likewise now Let the City
Council. at It's next meeting. be prompt
in performing its duty to suffering human

show to the whole world that we love
liberty as much today as we did one

A MICROBE ORGAN
The Only Newspaper of Its Kind in
 the World.

County Treasurer M. w. Messinger yesterday received a copy of the Walla Walla Suspect the only paper of it's kind ever printed in the world. It was issued by the passengers of the steamer Walla Walla, lately held up at Will liam Head quarantine station, Canada. MT. Messinger's son, John M. Messin- ger. was one of the passengers. The vessel was put in quarantine on ac- count of the discovery of smallpox. The paper is printed on yellow paper and contains fairly gooi half-tOne il- lustrations of the quarantine surround ings. The Suspect is a four page, six column affair, all reading matter ex- cept the pictures, with humor in every line. The Walla Walla's passenger lis t must have been made up of Mark Tap leys, who come out strong under dis dressing circumstances. The Suspect contains a society department and a sporting page. The rest of the paper is devoted to the discovery of the sunny side of quarantine life and various dis sertations on the subject of microbes, which are treated in a shockingly light and irreverent manner. The station it. self is nicknamed "Microbe city,

Over the Telephone.

Amusing incidents sometimes hap
pen over the telephone line. A local
merchant was in the store. yesterday,
when he heard his call on the phone.
Hello" said he; he heard indistinct
voices. "Hello." he said in a louder
tone. Then he heard a feminine voice:
Don't break in on me, | am using TINS
line" But somebody called me-" Il
don't care if they did; | am using this
line and | won't be interrupted!
Thereupon the merchant hung up the
receiver and waited on a customer.
About five minutes elapsed, when he
went to the phone, called up central
and said: who was that called me
up a short time ago." The reply that
came was rather surprising. 1t was
from central, but a voice. which he rec
ogniZed, fairly screamed: Hang up
your horn; what are you interrupting
me again for?" No sooner We're the
words uttered than somebody else
broke in with: Hello, who is it?'
| Again came that sweet voice: Hang
up that receiver!" Somebody called
me-" said the last arrival. Il don't
care if they did; l am using this line
and | won't stop till l get through"
| Then there were a medley of severa
voices all coming through the receiver
| at the same Observation-Disclosures
complainings, explanations-a strange
intermingling The receiver began t.
get so hot that the merchants ear!
tingled and he hung up the instrument
sat himself in a chair and had con-
vulsions for five minutes.

CAT CAME UFF VICTOR.
An Exciting Contest at Back Entrance OF a
Water Street Store.

An interesting dog and cat fight took
place near the back door of local store
recently Cat and dog fights do not us
ually amount to much. but this one was
an exception. 1t was not the usual yelp
and spit and cat UP a tree with a hun
cry eyed dog on the ground. but it was
the genuine article with bowls ana yelps
and flying fur.
Pussy was resting peacefully on box
just outside the back door of the store,
dreaming no doubt of the joys of moon
light nights when cats go forth for ad-
venture and conquest and sleep forsakes
the nervous sleeper. Whatever were the
drcamings Of the feline dozer, they were
rudcly interrupted.
A shaggy black dog came around the
corner. He was harmless appearing
doggy and seemed to be minding his own
business. But even the best of doggies are
apt to forget their good manners when
a cat is in view and it was SO in this case.
The dog was trotting along when he
came to a sudden stop; his eyes began to
glare and the hair on his back to rise
there was a fierce growl and rush. Miss
Pussy disappeared, closely followed by
Mr.. Doggy. From the door a flight of
stairs led down to the floor beneath and
at the foot OF these a great tragedy was
enacted. Miss Pussy suddenly either be .
come courageous or was driven TO des-
peratiOn. She turned on the dog. leapcd
high in the air and landed full on his
shaggy back. And then wasn't there n
rumpus, There were bowls and snarls.
whines ana splitting. dog disappeared
out of the back door with his tongue
lolling out and his tail hanging low. As
the oculist would say, for time his viz
ion will not be perfect: Miss Pussy had
stuck her thumb in his eye. \ wild eyed
cat with every hair erect had won 4
great battle.
The stairs Were covered with enough
hair to make first class hair mattress.
Miss Pussys claws had done wonderful
execution in the shaggy hair of her adj
vcrsary The signs of battle were swept
up by clerk and a short time after. the
cat had returned to her resting place on
the box. The dog-it is not known what
became OF him. He has probably gone
OFF where cats are less courageous and
where other dogs do not know of his dis
grace.
