two leaders, to the effect that the
end OF the rebellion is near at hand.
This dispatch chronicles the surren-
der 81 IL considerable additional mum

Tor club officers. This building will be
worth many thousand dollars to the bus
mess men, mechanics, farmers and
others residing in Yakima county. As
members Of the club will be recognized
first in all patronage it is natural to sup
pose that every family in Yakima coun-
ty will be interested in the organization.
Hon. Edward Whitson has the work
Of preparing ritual for the society well
under way. This part Of the order like
all other features will be new, unique
and distinct from any society ever organ
lied. The members OF the superior club
are officers or members in almost every
one of the 20 societies represented in this
city and do not propose borrowing any
signs, grips or other work from the older
lodges. Everything will be new and
original in every detail All organizers
desiring positions and giving the proper
bonds and credentials are furnished en-
ployment by applying to Hon. Vestal
Snyder, the superior organizer. The So
ciety is starting off under most favorable
circumstances.

A Baggage Check.

Manager Fournier takes pleasure in
announcing the presentation Of the great
New York farce comedy success "a Bag
gage Check" at Larson's opera house
next Saturday night Sept. I. Lovers Of
musical farce will enjoy treat in this
attraction. The piece comes direct from
New York and is replete with catchy
music and up-to-date specialties. Mr..
James 7. Kelly, the well known coined
ian, has the leading role and the COM
pany supporting him is said to be a most
capable one. The Winnipeg Free Press
has the following to say of "A Baggage
Check" which appears here Saturday
evening: 1.-The piece fairly sparkles with
new musical hits, the dialogue is bright
and clever withal, very funny. Much
OF the success of the farce depends upon
the chief comedian, and this position
Mr.. James I. Kelly, as Mr.. Conboy,
would be hard to improve upon. From
the beginning of the first act he was in
favor with his audience and in the last

them to buy small tracts of land here
for permanent home. Sports will be
arranged for the entertainment of those
who come merely for pleasure. There
will be ball games at the grounds on
Capitol hill Saturday and Sunday after
noon between the home team and visit
ors and a dance will be held in the arm
DRY at night.
The Roslyn band, consisting of twenty
five pieces, will give a concert at the
new band stand from I to $3.50 O'Clock,
Saturday evening before proceeding to
the big dance at the armory.
Parties having spare rooms to let
would confer favor upon the committee
in charge Of the Roslyn excursion by
leaving their names at Otter 4 Mechtel's
bakery or with Fred Alter.

act, when he sang few parodies on
popular, sentimental songs he simply
made princely hit. Mr.. c. J. Rich,
Jr., as a humorous acrobatic tramp was
pleasant to look upon by reason Of the
amusement he afforded, and Mr.. Geo.
Blakely, as Billy Buttes, also contribut-
ed largely to the evenings fun. Miss
Mabel Blake is an actress of the statu-
esque type and sang very nicely. Misses
Alice Nichols and Frances Baylis were
rather clever in some acrobatic dances,

A thunder storm stirred the natives

was the first electrical display OF any i'm
portance this summer and was great
treat to those who have SO long been
familiar with the monotonous clear skies

from the south and for awhile between
and o'clock the sky sent forth many

noise. On Sunday the rain was heaviest

ROSLYN EXCURSION COMING.
Saturday. September J, Set as the Day To
Come To North Yakima.

The excursion from Roslyn to this
place has been finally decided on and
arrangements are now all made for the
people of the Cascade mining town to
come to this city next Saturday. The
last issue OF the Cascade Miner has the
following to say on the matter:
The excursion to North Yakima is
now certainty. The band boys took
hold OF the matter in dead earnest and
had the necessary guarantee all raised
by last Sunday evening and that insured
the train. The date for the big excur-
sion is next Saturday, Sept. 18th. The
train will leave here at 80 a. m. so let
everybody be on hand promptly. This
will without any doubt be the largest
excursion that has ever left this city as
everybody seems anxious to 60. The
train will not leave North Yakima to re-
turn until four O'Clock on Sunday after
noon SO everybody will have ample time
to look around all they wish and enjoy
themselves without being in any hurry.
There will be plenty Of amusements also
for those who do not wish to look over
the valley, in the shape OF baseball, etc.
There are lots OF hotels and lodging
houses in Yakima so there will be no
trouble in getting accommodations.
1t is expected that from 1000 to 1900
people will come down from Roslyn on
this excursion, and in this event prepara-
tons ought to be made to accommodate
them. II this many people come it
looks as though the citizens will be
compelled to throw open their homes
to good share OF them, as the hotel
accommodations will not be equal to
the occasion. 1t may be that nearly
1000 OF Roslyn's citizens will be down
on this occasion, for they have had the
trip in contemplation for several months
past and have deferred many other
pleasure trips just to make this one.
The excursion is made primarily to
look over the country surrounding North

satisfaction Of all. This was the first

time to wash the dust off the fruit and
hops. The rain is reported tohave been
general all over the northwest.

Having secured an additional So
100000 in bonds from the state Legis-
iature, the Drainage Board has con-
cluded that IL can do its own thinking
rs to needed improvements of the Chi.
cago River. SO Wednesday the Citi-
Gems Expert Commission, appointed
some time ago by the board TO act rs
an advisory body in this problem, was
told that its services were required no
longer a communication asking the
termination of the commissions work
was presented by President Jones of
the Drainage Board. seconded by
Trustee Smyth. and adopted without
dissenting vote. The dismissal was so
sudden and unceremonious that a
meeting of the experts set for Wednes-
day was called of at the last minute.
The commission of experts had been
given no opportunity to make Its flnal
report After weeks of labor three dis
tinct plans for the widening and deep
ening of the river and the diversion Of
all sewage from the lake by the an
nexation of the Evanston and Calumet
districts were outlined. each scheme
accompanied by exhaustive data. The
cost Of each plan was figured to the
cent and ranged from Sis.O00,OO0 to
$44.OOO,OOO. Now 1t Is frankly admit.
ted by the Sanitary Trustees that this
commission was created merely Ito
stir up public sentiment" SO that the
Legislature might allow the Drainage
Board more money to carry out river
plans. Though the plea for an add
tional tax Of one.half Of 1 per cent for
this purpose was defeated, the bill
allowing the bonded Indebtedness of
