Brains Gagged BY Thimble Measure.

Elensburg Localizer: The Yakima
Republic thinks pupnlism we'll nigh ex-
tinct in wheat sections, because of the
jump that article is making in the stock
exchange. How is it with the farmers in
Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Ohio
and Illinois, where the crops OF this kind
are very short, and in places thousands
of acres of it are now being ploughed up,
not worth cutting. Is this republican

COMMUNAL uNHAPPINESS.
Isaac Hayes and Wife Have Been Having a
Hard Time Together but Judge Davidson Re-
fuses to Divorce Them.

Isaac Hayes and Wife Have Been Having a
Hard Time Together but Judge Davidson Re-
fuses to Divorce Them.
The application for divorce of Isaac
Hayes against Julia Hayes was denied
by Judge Davidson on Saturday Hayes
is 56 years Of age and his wife is 80.
They have been married five years and
have two children. They got along fairly
we'll together until five or six months ago
although Hayes says she never was
good housekeeper and sometimes he
was compelled to sleep for weeks at a
time in bed that had not been made
up. With the appearance of Granville
BOYD, who was employed by Hayes,
open trouble broke out. She appeared
rather fond of Boyd and was frequently
in his company and apparently engaged
in love making. Hayes demonstrated with
his wife and she would become angry
and call him vile names which reflected
upon his parentage. When she would
do this he would tell her that she was
"out OF order and not showing HIM proper
respect" Upon cross examination he
admitted calling her strumpet and
kindred pet names but said he was driven
to it by her abuse and neglect.
Hayes says his wife was in the habit
of writing to Boyd and at one time he
had two of the letters in his possession.
These had been put away in the trunk
where he kept his papers but had since
disappeared and he believed that she
had taken the keys from his pockets,
while he was asleep, and carried off the
letters. That such letters did exist there
was corroborative evidence given by
Boyd's sister who, with the curiosity
of her sex, had read them after they had
been placed in her hands for delivery
The letters began and ended with OAR
ling Pet, and in one Of them the writer
said that Isaac, meaning Mr., Hayes, was
going to deed her the town house on
their separation and that che would deed
it over to her Darling Pet. At the close
of the hearing Judge Davidson denied
the application and advised the parties

there will be abundance OF 1t. | never
saw such large and heavy fields of wheat
anywhere as ! saw coming over here.
Everybody seems happy and the farmers
tell me the prospects for big crop were
never better. The wheat between Walla
Wala and the Snake river is getting ripe
and around Walla Walla they are heavy
in the harvest by this time. The wheat
north of the Snake river is about three
weeks later and is somewhat lighter than
the wheat in the Walla Walla country.

school is not as complete as the older
state institutions such as the University
of Nebraska or the Ohio State Univer-
sty, neither is it as old nor has it the
financial support. There are over one
hundred and fifty students at the sum-
mer school they are mostly from East

Idaho. There are classes in a number
