Bombs and Crackers,

UOIfaX was singuIarly free from acct
dents on the Fourth, but others we're
not so lucky. At Portland W. L. Rip
ley took bomb in hand which tore his
right thumb loose, blew the nails off a
couple OF fingers and shattered the
whole hand. He is now at Colfax nurs-
ing his injury. The Palouse Republic
reports: Chas. E. Frederick met with a
painful but not serious accident yester-
day morning, July 4. MIR. Frederick,
with commendable spirit OF patriotism
was celebrating when a giant fire crack
er exploded in his hand iniuring his right
eye severely. Although the sight is not
injured, the eye is very painful.

All Doctors have tried to cure CA
| TARRH by the use of powders, acid

Their powders dry up the mucous mem

| once, but permanently cures CATARRH,
by removing the cause, stopping the dis
charges, and curing all inflammation. 1t
| is the only remedy known to science that
| actually reaches the afflicted parts. This
wonderful remedy ia known as "SNUF-
| FILES the GUARANTEED CATARRH

| tanning internal and external medicine

FIRE RACE COMMENT.
Patouse Is Rather More Pleased
Than Pullman


Speaking of the Fourth of July hose
races, the Pullman and Palouse papers
say:
The Herald: The Pullman hose team
went to COlfax to compete in the races
on the Fourth of July program. They
made fine run, but owing to a mistake
as to the number of lengths of hose to
be laid, the run could not count in the
competition Those who saw the race,
however, say that our boys undoubtedly
made the best run, and but for the error
would have won. Colfax man, who
has faith in the hose team at the county
seat, offers to back the Colfax team
against Pullman for 500. Here's a
chance to make good race, and settle
the question OF superiority. Can you do
it, boys?
The Tribune: The fire tournament
was OF more interest to Pullmanites than
perhaps any other part of the days do
ings, as the Pullman fire lads were to
compete for the SIS cash prize which
was finally awarded to Palouse 1t was
rumOred about that the Colfax boys
would job the Pullmanites if possible,
but our lads ran their best and made by
far the best time, but we're ruled out
owing to a mistake made in coupling,
which was not strictly in accordance
with the rules laid down for the occa-
sion. COlfax ran the 800 yards in 1
minute 34h seconds, PalOuse in 1872,
while Pullman made it in Ito easily,
and but for the one little mistake would
have carried off first money. AS it was,
they were awarded third prize, $25, but
fatty refused it. They were made the
offer to run again if they would agree
to third money even though they won
first, but this they would not consent to.
The boys are disappointed, knowing so
well what they can do, and so are their
friends, but at the same time proud of
the good time they made
Palouse Republic: The first prize in
the hose race at Colfax, which was one
OF the principal features of the celebra-
ton on the Fourth, was won easily by
the PalOuse team, and The Republic
wishes to say that PalOuse is proud of
the achievement on the part at the boys.
The time from start to second water was
made in l minute, 32A seconds. Pull
man, owing to an error, was ruled out,
but it is thought the team would not
have taken anything better than third
prize in any event. The first prize of
$75 was awarded to Palouse and the
second OF $50 to Colfax, The Palouse
boys who participated in the race are:
Ed. Anderson, coach; F. E. Kliee, Frank
Beste, E, E. Boone, Jean Thompson,
John Ginger, Dimmick Ash, Andy Ga
brielson, Bert Mulkey, Carol Wiley, Ben
Johnson, Fred Summers, Manly Cox and
Will Holway. The boys wish to express
their appreciation OF the courteous
treatment they received at the hands of
the COlfax team.

Rural Routes Out Of Pullman

An agent Of the postoffice department
was at Pullman recently, says the Her
aid, examining the proposed rural de-
livery route for the establishment of
which a petition had been presented. He
rode over the route and made some
small changes, but finally allowed the
route and awarded the contract for
carrying the mail over to Geo. Hill at
$500 per year. The route runs out be-
yond Whelan, and returning comes in
past the D. NJ. Sanders place, making
the round trip % miles long. Mail to
be delivered along the route daily, ex-
cept Sunday. Owing to the fact that
the petition for the route in the Ewarts-
vile district had not been completed,
this route could not be established at
this time, but will undoubtedly come
later
