Barger Herrold was called for trial
yesterday afternoon. The case was
brought for $4,000 damages for slam
derous statements which the plaintiff
claims the defendant made to her in
the presence of others. The case will
be remembered as the one that is
connected with the vitriol throwing
which happened near the slate house

threw bottle of the fiery liquid into
the face of a man by the name of
Sandholm, then the husband of Mrs.
Krotz. Before the trial began the
parties announced that they had eff

ries a bullet in his anatomy as re-

y o'clock that the burglary was at
tempted, one man trying the job. He
had secured ladder which was in the
yard, and placed it so as TO enter
through the north window into Mrs.
Barnard's bedroom. He had succeed

the window some Is inches when the
reflected rays from his lantern awak-
ened Mrs. Barnard. who quickly rose
and getting her revolver fired two
shots.

REQUIES-CAT IN PACE.

Frances E. Willard has suffered a
great loss. "Toots,' her pet cat is
dead and of tuberculosis, too. Still,
she earned $4,000 in the sale OF her
photographs. which is better than the
ordinary cat can do. 1t even beats
Miss Naturalization.
The Union appears to know as little
about Miss Willard, the great advO-
cate of temperance. as it knows OF
the hog industry in Walla Walla
county. If it would consult its boo!l
on who's Who?" it would learn that
Miss Willard died several years be
fore her cat and that neither the mis-
tress nor her cat is now earning any
money selling photographs or grlev-
ing over the death Of the other. Both
have entered that world where the
weary are at rest and the wicked
have ceased from troubling even cats.

The Walla Walla theatre will enter

to be the melo-drama success OF

Clifford's most gorgeous production,

mier in New York, where all amuse-
ment enterprises run the gauntlet OF
severest criticism, and it is necessary
for attractions to be extremely merl-
tOrious to remain unscathed. The
eminent critics Of that city declared
the product to be one Of super-emi-
nence, and the press Of every city
visited since have been as commend

AS the Portland Oregonian puts It:
"Wla< does any one suppose will his

Doas &ly enc suppose that history

VIII il not rather say the simple and
self evident truth, that Mckinley was
right. but that the power Of the pro-
tected interests was too great for the
wisdom and conscience Of the peo-
pie to prevail ever chem? AS long
as this reign Of might over right con-
tinues, the 14th Of September is
day for national reprCach; and its

Washington. Sept. 1S.-If congress
all the money Secretary
Moody estimates the navy will need,
the national naval expense account
for the fiscal year of 1904 will be more
than 500, 100000. The amount asked
of congress last year was $9S.910 284
but only s77659.3S6 was appropriated
In 1902, S7S.101,791 was appropriated
and there was never a time when the
estimates were pared down more
closely.
Secretary Moody, before ne entered
the cabinet. was a member of the nav
al appropriations committee and he
had a relentless eye for the needless
expenses. But the navy is growing
rapidly and requires more to sustain
itself than ever before.

Tie rebuhe OF the proceeding by
which that disreputabIe person. Sam,
uel J. Parks. was selected to head the
labor procession or Monday in New
York city was emphatic. says the
Boston Herald. The remOnstrance OF
the labor men themselves against
this attemr, 10 disgrace them was
amply enough to keep considerable
more than half OF them out of the nro-
cesston. and many doubtless moved in
i under 4 mental protest on their
part against the indignity offered the
cause in which they were parading. IT
would be unfair 10 hold even the
limited number who did not openly
repUdiate this man Parks to resn0rsi-
bl'ity for his selection as their repre-
sentative. The labor leaders were re-
sponsjhle for this. and We are con
WINGED that q full inquiry into the
facts would cause it to appear that
the number supporting this man were
few. The labor men have been ~ofteD
unfortunate in their leaders. The Sc
lection Of Parks originally for such =
position was in itself an instance in
point. Parks is not the first walking
delegate from whom they have SUI
fered. The power that he has with
