VERlTABlE WONDERLAND.

Bedelrs bazaar, Santa Claus head
quarters, presents a veritable fairy like
scene again this year, with it's bewild-
ering array of holiday goods for old
and young alike piled from floor to

This wonderland has been a busy
place the past ten days with hun
dreds of shoppers visiting the store
daily making their selections of Christ
mas presents. Such an assortment of
holiday goods as has been select
ed this year by this popular store has
never before been seen in Walla Walla.
There is an a1luring array of all kinds
of toys and books for the children, and
many articles of usefulness for the
young ones with a handsome assort-
ment of presents for the older ones.
To make an itemized list of all the
handsome things to be found at Be
dells bazaar is a physical impossible
ity but all the nice things that were
ever seen or read about are to be
found at this store. That wise buyers
appreciate this fact is seen in the vast
throngs that visit the store every day.
More than score of young lady
clerks have been employed and the
crowded store presents an animate
scene.

NANAIMO, b. c., Dec. 23.-An Es-

by a recent arrival from the Klondike,
is responsible for a trail of slaughter
extending through the chicken houses
of poultry fanciers for ten blocks on
Kennedy street.
TIL first notification of what had Oc-

afternoon from Mrs. Frame, who re-
ported nineteen chickens killed the pre-
viOus night. This was the first of a
long series of complaints. On the
same night J. O'Dell's chicken coop
was cleaned out, fOrty-one hens biting
the dust before an unknown destroyer.
Then it was announced that W. H.
Kelly had lost nearly a dozen. From
that time on complaints reached police
headquarters thick and fast. Belong

Retirement of Col. Meade.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 23.-The
case of Col. and Brevet Brig. Gen.
Robert L. Meade of the Marine corps,
which attracted quite a little public
attention early in the present year,
came to definite end today with the
retirement of that officer from active
service on account of disability.
Col. Meade is a brother of Gen.
Meade, the victor of Gettysburg. He
saw service in the civil and Spanish
wars, in the Philippines insurrection
and in the Picking campaign of 1900.
For his services in China he was bre-
vetted rigadier-general. A few years
ago he was charged with drunkenness
rine barracks at the Brooklyn navy
yard and was acquitted.
Col. Meade was an applicant for the
office of commandant of the Marine
corps to succeed Major General Hey
wood, and upon the selection of Col.
Elliott, for that place, he applied for
retirement as a brigadier- general, his
brevet rank. The navy department
held that he could not be so retired
Col. Meade then withdrew his appli-
cation for retirement, and in doing so
made some causrc comments upon
the manner in which he had been
treated.
These comments offended the navy
