ChlIdrens' Day In Woman's Club.

The Woman's Club of this city has set
aside day in each year for the enter
tainment of all their children and the
annual "childrens' day" came this year
last Tuesday afternoon. The event was
a most notable one and the program for
the day very attractive. There were
present about 80 children, whose
mothers are all members of the club,
logged out in their spring gowns and
bonnets they made the rooms OF the
Commercial Club present scene that
was beautiful to look upon.
Herewith is the program: Mrs. c. 4.
White gave Synopsis from the opera,
Faust"
Mrs. Guy Mel. Richards played the
overture and was followed Mrs. G. +.
Conner who sang 1.-THE Jewel Song"
from the same opera.
Then the children had their turn
which was much more elaborate than
that of the grown folks.
"I'm Nothing but a Big Wax Doll"
was sung very acceptably by Marion
and Helen Snyder.
There was next an illustrative reading
"The Birds Christmas Carol" in which
appeared large number of the little
folks.
A lesson in manners "Mrs. Ruggles
and Her Children" was then given and
called forth much laughter. Miss Mary
Erwin played the role of Mrs. Ruggles.
A chorus of nine voices led by Master
Harold Sharkey entitled "a Little
Peach in an Orchard Grew" followed by
an encore was well received.
All the children appeared well and
won merited applause from their
mothers.
Elegant refre shments were served.

A Toll Road For Gold Hill

In view of the action of Governor
Mcbride in vetoing the state road APP
preparations passed by the last legisla-
ture, and in consideration of the neces-
sity for wagon roads communicative
between this city and the Gold Hill
mining district certain influential
parties in this city are trying to finance
toll road broad gauge and easy grades
from the foot of the horseshoe bend in
the Natchez to the center of the Gold
Hill mining district.
THE HERALD suggests it is about
time our people quit grasping after
political plums and commenced doing
business for themselves. A little
more of this same energy in the matter
of storage reservoirs for the use of the
Yakima watershed will solve the prob
lem and relieve us for all time from the
danger of being robbed and deprived OF
our water by speculative corporations
and land boomers.

School Board District No. 7.

At the Monday evening session of the
directors OF school district No. Prof.
Barge and Judge Nichols were present.
The usual grist of bills were presented,
some were paid and others rejected.
A case of discipline came up from the
Second street school, the teachers were
sustained in their action and the matter
of final termination of the case held in
allegiance.
1t has come to the attention of the
board of directors that some of the
pupils in the city schools use tobacco in
some form. 1t is a regulation of the
board of education of this state that the
use of tobacco by pupils, in any form, in
or about school houses or premises shall
be cause for expulsion from the public
schools. 1t might be well for pupils TO
remember this Tact if they desire to con-
tinue in the benefits of public instruc-
ton

A BOLD ROBBERY
COMMITTED AT MABT0N.
The Store of Nick Beckner was
Robbed of Over 5000. At Point
of Pistol Desperadoes
Demand Cash.

Monday evening at $40 o'clock the
quiet village of Mabton was reused into
an excited condition when the news
spread rapidly of how three men had
boldly entered the store of Nick Beck
ner and at the point of revolvers de.
manded all available cash. The haul
amounted to over 5000 and at the time
of going to press none of the money had
been returned.
A suspect was apprehended at Prosser
Tuesday morning and has acknowledged
being an eye witness to the robbery.
His story was very much disconnected
and he is now in the county Jail pending
further developments.
Those who witnessed the hold-up say
there were three men implicated, one Of
whom guarded the doorway while the
other two caused the proprietor to open
his safe and dig up. The men wore
masks made from gunny sacks. Traces
of them were found on the road to Pros
ser from the scene of the robbery.
Sheriff Grant and deputies are hot on
the trail.

A New Court House Coming,

1t is an open secret that at the next
meeting OF the county commissioners
some OF our leading citizens are going TO
endeavor TO induce that body to realize
the necessity and wake up to the need
of immediate action in the matter OF a
new court house. The present shack is
entirely inadequate to the county's
needs, unfit in every particular in the
matter of office and court room facilities
that part of it devoted to Jail purposes
unhealthy and unsafe and the whole
structure an eyesore and disgrace to the
whole county.
Pressure will be brought to bear upon
the county commissioners to induce
them. il possible, to issue bonds and at
once proceed to erect upon the present
site court house, county offices and
Jail combined sufficient and adequate
for the needs of this large, growing and
wealthy county.

In the struggle that ensued when a
number Of people tried to get out at
the llsth street station Nicholson was
pushed from the platform and fell in such
way that his right leg was caught in the
coupling and he became suspended head
downward. His screams threw the other
passe ngers into a panic. A wild rush
was made for the station platform which
became so crowded that nobody could
get sither in or out.
Three policemen noticed the trouble
and rushed up TO the stations. They were
nearly swamped in the crowd, but sue
ceeded in getting some kind Of order
restored by driving part Of the crowd back
into the cars.
The train guards and the attendants
on each station worked for half an hour
before they were able to release Nicholson,

been uncouped and the front cars moved
ahead. In the meantime traffic was sre-
pended and the road was blocked for a
mile or two with crowded trains.
Nicholson was more scared than hurt.
His right knee was wrenched and ne re-
ceived some Commissions. He was taken to

PENNSYLVANIA X. II. MEN HERE
Looking After the Terminal-Report That
Mr.. Cassatt VIII Resign Called "BOsh."

President A. j Cassatt, First Vice -Presi-
dent John p. Greene and Fourth Vice.
President Samuel Rea of thesPennsylvania
Railroad were in this city Yesterday and
conferred with the company's representa-
tives who have charge of parts Of the great
terminal work in this city. Mr.. Cassatt
had lunch at midday with Jacob H. Schif
of the banking house of Kuhn, Loeb 4 Co.
Wall Street had report that Mr.. Cassatt
had resigned or is about to resign the presi-
dency Of the Pennsylvania Railroad and
that the control of the company had passed
to the Rockefeller interests. This report, ,
in too, was characterized as "bosh" by
men In a position to know. The stock of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company is
very widely scattered. II represents an
enormous total No interest has control
of it or anything approximating actual
control. Regarding the report that the
Rockefellers have acquired control, this is
what man in position to speak with
authority said:
"If large block of the stock had really
passed to the Rockefellers, that would, of
course, mean that they would get a repre-
sen ion on the board of direct ors, but
how would it serve them TO obtain such a
block OF 81 ock? What would there be for
them to do? They would not want to
change the presidency and the organization
of the property, for this organization is
the best In the country and could not be
improved

Why ROOSEVELT WAS ABSENT.
An Interesting Story About Planning tho
City College Installation.

A curious story was told last night by
friends Of President Finley Of the City
College and Edward Lauterbach az to how
It came about that President Roosevelt
did not attend the installation ceremonies
at the college yesterday.
1t seems that both Prof. Finley and Mr.
Lauterbach visited Oyster Bay and asked
Mr.. Roosevelt to attend the installation,
and that the President agreed to be there
and make speech Then he asked who
the other orators would be.
The President was informed that ex-
President Cleveland had consented to
speak Then. according to the story,
President Roosevelt insisted that Mr.. Cleve-
land should not be present-why, the Presi-
dent didn't explain.
The story went that Prof. Finley and MIR.
Lauterbach told the President that Mr..
Cleveland had accepted the invitation to
speak at the ceremonies and that it would
be most discourteous to tell him he couldn't
come.
However, President Roosevelt, according
to people who said that they knew all about
It, said that unless Mr.. Cleveland could
be put of. he. the President, could not
attend
President Finley and Mr.. Lauterbaoh
declined to inform Mr.. Cleveland that he
must not como, and then President Roose-
welt, it was said, wrote declaring that it
would be impossible for him to be present.
Political wise men who were at the st.
Louis Exposition ceremonies said that
Mr.. Cleveland got altogether too many
cheers there to suit some friends of Mr..
Roosevelt
