APPLES WE'RE GOOD.
Fine Whitman County Display AT
the Spokane Fair.

A number OF Colfax people and Others
of Whitman county have visited the
Spokane fruit fair for pleasure and be
cause of an intense interest in the exhibit
OF Whitman county fruits, meager
though it was in comparison with the
ability OF the county to furnish. No
effort was made to enter the prize com.
petition for county exhibits this wear.
All Whitman county entered was a
limited class of farm products and fruits
which were on display at the recent
county fair. The fruits, however. took
the eye OF all. The apples especially
were surprising to visitors. The entries
from the county fair were under the
charge of Secretary Zell NJ. Beebe, and
he was harangued and implored count
less times to sell to visitors SAMPLES
from his display, just to send to friends
III the east. His entire stock would not
nave lasted an hour if he had began sell
ing.
Gen. I. r. Tannatt of Pennington,
president OF the Eastern Washington
and Northern Idaho Fruitgrowers' Asso-
citation, took an active interest and
furnished splendid exhibit from his
orchards. When Thomas Kirby OF Nez
Perez county Idaho, made perfunctory
sort OF challenge to Whitman county for
competition next year for $1,000 and
the silver cup now held by Nez Perez,
Gen. Tannatt and Mr.. Beebe snapped
him up SO quick that he had to write
home to see if bis people will back him
up. Premiums were taken by Whitman
county exhibitors as follows:

ON A HhINOUS CHARGE
w. ii. James Charged BY His
Daughter With Assault.
The Second Time the Father Has
Been Complained Against for
the Same Offense,

William H. James. large landhoIder
and well-to-do ranchman near Hay sta
ton, lies in the county Jail, charged by
his daughter Eva, Is years of age, with
the unnatural crime of felonious assault
upon her. The girl arrived in town
alone on the afternoon train Saturday
and at once made her complaint. Dep
uty Sheriff Carter at once left for the
ranch to make the arrest, arriving at a
late hour at night, only to find James
gone. 1t was later learned that James
followed the girl to town, arriving in the
night and leaving before daylight. For
several days the wanted man could not
be located.
Caught at Wife's Home.
A few mouths ago James and his wife
were divorced and divided up their lands.
but for some time the man has been
stopping at the home of his former wife
and the daughter. 1t was at this house
his capture was effected early Wednes-
day morning, while off bis guard.
Tuesday night Deputy Sheriff Steward
wired in that he had located his man
hiding in the hills. He was armed with
a Winchester rife and revolver and
mounted on a good horse. and had
threatened TO let daylight through
anyone who attempted to arrest him
AS James had reputation as a danger
GUS and desperate man, Sheriff Canutt
sent two men to the deputy s aid. They
found him at the house, where he had
occasionally slept at night, and sur.
rounded it. When called upon, James
grabbed his gun, but later dropped il
and came out the door unarmed, where
he was arrested without trouble
The attempted assault is alleged to
have been made in the house last Friday
while Mrs. James was absent. In july
1897, James was arrested for the same
offense, then upon the complaint Of the
mother OF the girl. The woman now
seems in sympathy with the prisoner.
NJ. 0. Reed has been retained for til,
defense, and both prisoner and ATTORNEY
refuse to make a statement regarding
the case.

The Hottest Coon in Dixie.

The COlfax Opera House will present
its patrons with a positive amusement
novelty next Monday evening, when the
musical rag-time comedy travesty, "The
Hottest Coon in Dixie will be seen here
for the first time. The organization
comprises forty of the foremost singers,
comedians and speciality artists OF the
cOlOred race, there not being a white
face in the ranks, although in the chorus
are a dozen pretty young women who
will be difficult to distinguish from their
lighter sisters. The singing of the com
pany is said to be marvellous, their Sc
lecti0ns ranging from the popular rag
time and ''cOOn" melodies to magnif-
Gently cOstumed chOruses from the
operas. In this feature the show will be
a revelation to Colfax theater goers.
The epecialties are all original and Of a
popular order. "The Hottest Coon in
Dixie" is costumed quite as pretentiousy
as the largest of the opera companies,
and in every respect is an attraction
that will be heartily appreciated and en-
IOyed by the best class Of theater gOers,
to whom the manager especially caters.
Prices, soc, 75c and 81.

FOR A TERRITORY.

Whether the meeting called last night hy the Mckinley club to discuss the ad- visibility of asking congress for tefrito- rlal form Of government was the first puo> Iic meeting called upon this question in Alaska, there Is no data as hand to deter mine; but that there have been for several wears able advocates of this course Is we'll known. Those who have been opposed to it have been those who would eowardlv esclpe by any Sub,erfuge their own share of tsre-eommon burden. They are of thoSe who desire representation without taxa tion, and they were at one time so numer- ous that there is a kind of blek-handec justice In the action of congress in giving US taxation without representation.
 But since we have had this totally un- just tax lsid upon US. Since- we have had q voluntary but duly elected delegate al Washington and have been able to appre- eiale the value ol his services, there has hrsn change. at the Juneau convention it was briefly argued that Instead of mak' ink a huge set of laws that would take some days 70 read. and sending that tc congress. it would be better and simpler to ask fOF territorial rights and then ths territory could make It's own laws. Then was a motion to this effect. ltwas eallet up again and again. and as regularly laid on the shelf Most of the delegates shiv' sfedA at the thought of taxation.
 Now nearly all theSe delegates arc con vlnced to the opposite opinion. and large majority of those who attendediast night: debate were converted or were already in its favor. So there Is little doubt bu' that next winter Southeastern Alaska will knock at the door of congress asking to bc admitted as a territory. and the chance: are that she will not knock in vain.

ALeEaey Goes Begging.

They arc telling a rather unusual story about an attempt to force legacy on the trustees of the Hillbouse High school in New Haven
 William Kinne. the first principal of the school, died short time ago in . quiet Massachusetts town. whither hs had gone after his retirement as a schoolteacher. In his win Mir. Kinnc left legacy of $500 to the school. tR income of which was to be used for the purchase of dictionaries to be given as prizes to scholars in his school who should excel in spelling 100 words taken from the constitution of the United States The old teachers expressed ob- feet was to induce n study of the con stitrtion as well as correctness in speI- ing .
 When the executors of the will tried to dispose of the legacy. the memberI of the board of education found that they, as the trustees of the school. could not accept the trust. So here is at least one instance of legacy going begging and 1t will have to continue to do @ unless some special legislation to en- able the board to accept the trust is en- acted. New York Times.

Tn snrr sinking shIps.

aaaNNnNa0nn haa . practical trial during our war with Spain was a French device for stopping shot holes, called the Colomes stopper One of these was employed to close . rent made by a shell in tho battleship Iowa. The hole was about foot above the water line. As soon as the stopper was inserted the inflow of water which had begun to flood the deck. ceased The stopper consists of n rod having at one end an iron plate, pivoted at the center SO that it can be folded back ward along the rod.
 To stop leak the rod carrying the plate is first thrust outward through the hole. Then 3 turn of the rod causes the plate, which is weighted at one end. to become parallel Co the side of the ship. and in this position it is drawn back by the rod. SO as more or less com pletely to cover the hole. Next a cellu- lose cushion is placed upon the rod, and by the aid of a mt forced tightly against the inner side of the ship over tho hole, so as entirely to stop the leak Shoppers of various sizes are carried to suit the size of the hole that may have to be dealt with.
