WALLA WALLA FAIR.
Indications Point to Better Exposition Than
All Predecessors.

Walla Walla, Sept. 23.-To-day the
fifth annual fruit fair was opened to the
public with brief ceremonies, at o'clock.
Everything is in readiness except slight
additions to exhibits made by merchants,
the building having been scene of &C.
tivity for two or three weeks. A very
large and excellent exhibit of fruits,
grains and grasses have been gathered,
and the fair promises to excel all of its
predecessors.
For day or two the weather has
been threatening, and anxiety has been
felt, as last year the show was almost
ruined by heavy rains which fell daily
and prevented the attendance from
reaching anywhere near the anticipated
figures. Yesterday the streets were
quite muddy, but indications to-day are
for brighter weather.

SOUNDS A WARNING.
Grover Cleveland Calls Attention to
Public Extravaganza.

New York June 3.-TIn an article on
THE Waste Of Public Money" pub
lished in the Saturday Evening Post of
Philadelphia, former President Cleve-
land sounds a warning to the people
against the dangers that lie in reckless
extravaganza in public expenditures.
Among other things he says:
If the aggregate mass of our people
are at all blameworthy on account of
the present advanced stage of public
prodigaiity, it is largely because they
overlooked and tolerated its small be-
ginnings, when at all times they should
have been vigilant and uncOmproniS-
ing A self-ruling people, responsible
for every miscarriage of their govern
ment, should, above all things, con-
stantly remember that nothing multi
plies itself more abundantly than ma
tional extravaganza; and that neither
an individual nor a popular government
can easily correct OF check habits of
waste.
while easy-going Indifference and
liberation produce bitter fruit an in
hnitaly more dangerous and threaten
ing condition is presented by the fact
that N any of our citizens have passed
beyond the stage of mere indifference,
and, by accepting the brides of selfish
and personal advantage which public
waste and extravaganza offer have
been stimulated to find excuses for their
existence. Thus is disclosed the man
ner in which familiarity with these per-
niciOus agencies, and especially partici-
patton in their spells, dulls the popular
conscience and distorts the peoples
conception of good citizenship.
Those elected by the people to pub
lie places are apt to subject themselves
to any contagion among the people,
even to the surrender of Individual con
ception of sworn duty No elected
ofhceholder cares to invite political
martyrdOm by refusing to obey the be-
hests of influential constituents; and
conscientious scruples are overruled by
the plea that a servant must be obedi-
ent to the will of those he represents.
Another astounding occasion Of pub
lie waste and extravaganza has grown
out of the abuse of our nations tender
regard for those who suffered in its de-
Tense Through the efforts of unprin-
cipled pension agents and attorneys a
lavish administration of extremely lib
eral general pension laws has resulted
in numerous undeserved allowances,
and these have been largely increased
by thousands Of pensions granted by
special laws to those who have failed
for want of n crit under general stat
utes- These benefciaries have thus
learned that earnest support of a party
leader or a pledge of partisan return
for especial congressional favor may be
relied on as promising substitutes for
pensionable disability.
1.-The lessons of extravaganza and pa
ternalisn must be unlearned; economy
and frugality must be reinstated; and
the people must exact from their rep
resentatives a watchful care for the
to the demands of selfish interests. if
our government is to be an enduring
and beneficent protection to a patriotic
and yfrtuOuS people"

Thirteen Men of Mount Hope in
a Queer Club.
All Agree Not to Kiss Their
Wives For a Year.
NO SUITS FOR DIVORCE
Simply Carrying 1t Out as an
Experiment.
President Tries Rules Three
Weeks With Success.

Wichita, June 2-Thirteen men of
Mount Hope. a small town near here,
are adherents of the belief that men
should not kiss women. All Of the thir-
teen are married. and they have just
formed a club known as the Mount Hope
Married Mans Anti-kissing club. The
members are:
B. r. Wilson. president; I. ]. Cox, sec
rotary; A. L. Rite. F. N. Johns. L. r.
Densmore. J. B. Smith, S. w. Karnes.
G. A Snow. F. N. Jones. P. T. Burris,
A. L. Koren, B. Q. Chains and T. V.
Quincy.
All the members are quite prominent
in business circles of that place, and
the organization of the club has been
kept under cover for three weeks but
the secret has finally leaked out. In a
statement to reporters President Wilson
said.
..All this talk about our wives going
to sue US for divorce because we have
pledged not to kiss them, is nonsense.
We-went into this with the understand
ing that it was to be carried out as an
experiment, and we will stick to it if the
women uphold US in it. OF course, every
member has taken a pledge not to kiss
his wife for one year, but there is a pro
viso that if we all get tired of the pro-
position we can disorganize the club and
no one will have broken a pledge
I have been into it now three weeks,
and am perfectly satisfied with the ar
rangement, as is my wife. / find that
kissing is a bad habit, and without It
man can love a great deal more strong
". All of the boys have kept their
promises so far, and the prospects are
that we viii make this club 8 thing of
permanence.'
