DREAMLAE.- PARK NOTES.

In spite of the threatening aspect
of the weather Sunday evening the at
tendance at the Ninth Cavalry con-
cert was sufficient to meet the cur
rent expenses of the evening. If those
who remained on the outside could
have swelled the ticket office receipts,
nice little margin to the good would
have been realized. 1t is not generally
known that all vehicles are admitted
to the grounds free of charge. a fact
that will no doubt lessen the outside
attendance. Remember good people
Of Walla Walla every dime added to
the gate receipts is of great assistance
in meeting the expense. paying up in
CURED bills and bringing the park into
q greater improved condition in every
way that will add greatly to its pop
ularity and insure its permanent bene-
fit to the city. All this depends solely
upon the public Mr.. Phillips is very
thankful for the response the people
have given to his enterprise and is
full Of enthusiasm and hope for the
future Enthuse with him.
Wednesday evening another of the
delightful open air dances will occur
at Dreamland park to the witching
strains of the Ninth Cavalry orches-
ira. The floor is growing better and
better and everything conducive to
an enjoyable evening will be amply
provided for. Come everybody and
enjoy yourselves. Dancing every
Wednesday and Saturday.
Authorities are looking up the wa
ter question regarding Garrison creek
today and within a day or two good
results will no doubt follow their in
spectiOn and conclusions The lake
is the soul of the park and must and
will be brimmed

STILL LIVES
Girl of Half World At,
 tempts Suicide

A girl of the half world, who former ly lived in Skagway, and known as "Gyp," attempted suicide at Atlln last week by taking poison. Her life was saved by the fact that she took an over dose of poison and by prompt medical attention.
 "Gyp" or Elsie, as she was also called, lived in a house in this city kept by Eva Lambert, for a time, be- fore she wont to Atlin. She came here from Juneau.
 The rash attempt upon her own life by the girl "Gyp," was caused by de- spondency over the loss of a newly found lover and a homo. The madam of notorious house at Atlin had gone out of the county for a short visit, leav- ing the key to her house with her lover. She staid longer than was ex- pecied, and returned to find that "Gyp' had been installed in her place, She threw the latter out after a big row, and reclaimed her sweet heart. The rejected woman at- tempted to end it all with stryehnine, but failed.

ABOLISHES THE TORTURE.
Gar Mitigates Punishment Provid-
ed for Exiles.

Gar Mitigates Punishment Provid-
ed for Exiles.
st. Petersburg, July l6.-The Birzhe
Via Nedomosti says:
The car has abolished the harshest
remnants of the barbaric punishments
of former times, namely, castigation
with cudgels and cat-o'-nne. tails,
claiming to the car, shaving the head,
which were still inflicted for certain
offenses on persons exiled to penal set
Elements or to the mines.
Casitgation with the cato nine ills
and even with cndgels, not infrequently
ending in death, was one OF the harsh
terms of the death penalty, being death
by torture. Only the most hardened
prison administration could stand the
terrible sight of human beings under
the mea yured blows of the CATO nine
tails. The cudgel and the cat are re-
placed in the new statute by prolonga-
ton of terms or by solitary confinement
up to 100 days, with bread and water
except every third day, when hot food
will be served at one meal.
The abolition Of the cudgel and the
"cat" does not, however mean the pro-
hibition OF corporal punishment alto
gether. The revised statute of June Is
prescribes chastisement with birch rods
up to 100 blows. "for light offenses and
misdemeanors. according to the same
authority, and this matter is left en-
tirrly to the discretion of the prison
authorities or the local governors.
