influential man in every precinct
in the county, and a list of posi-
bic turn coats and towards. He
detailed 500 of his men to make
arrests, and distributed them
throughout the county and ar
rested without warrants over 200
citizens in one day.
The next day Berry hand
cutfed together the Rev. John
Durham and Major Cameron,
and led them escorted by con :
pany of cavalry ON a grand circuit
OF the county, that the people
might be terrified by the sight of
their chains. An ominous silence
greeted them on every hand. Adj
dltlonal arrests were made by
this troop and Is more prisoners
led into Ham bright the next day.
The Jail was crowded and the
court house was used as a Jail.
Over a hundred and fifty men
were confined in the court room.
Kew. John Durham was every
where among the crowd, laugh
ing, joking and cheering the men.
Major Cameron, jail never
held so many honest men before"
he said with a smile as he looked
over the crowd of his church
members gathered from every
quarter of the county.
We'll, Doctor, you've got a
quorum here Of your church and
you can call them to order for
business"
That's a fact, isn't it?"
There s old Deacon Kline over
there who looks like he wished
he hadn't comet" The preacher
walked over to the deacon.
What's the matter, brother
Kline, you look pensive?"
The deacon laughed. yes, Il
don't like my bed. I'm used to
feathers"
We'll, they say they are going
to give you feathers mixed with
tar so you won't lose them so
easily"
I'll have company, l reckon"
said the deacon with a wink.
The funny thing, deacon, is
that Major Cameron tells me
there isn't man in all the crowd
of ESQ arrested who ever went on
a raid. It's too bad you old fell
lows have to pay for the follies OF
youth"
1T is tough. But we can stand
it, preacher" They clasped
hands.
Haven't smelled a coward
anywhere have you, deacon?"
I've seen one or two a little.
fdgety, I thought. Cheer 'em
up with word, preacher"
Springing on the platform OF
the judges desk he looked over
The crowd for moment, and
cheer shook the building.
Boys, l don't believe there's a
single coward in our ranks"
Another cheer.
Just keep cool now and let our
enemies do the talking. In ten
days every man of you will be
back at home at his work."
How will we get out with the
writ suspended" asked a man
standing near.
That's the richest thing of all.

The Paul Lawrence Dunbar lecture
recital by Professor Pearson at the
Congregational church next Monday
evening June %, bids fair to fill the
house. Mr. Pearson's evenings appeal
to everybody and the community is the
gamer by the policy of the management
to throw open the entire house at twenty
five cents, with no reserved seats. The
recollection of the Riley evening of a
year ago, which Mr. Pearson so gener-
ously gave without charge, is delight
full recollection yet, and the general
verdict of the outside public is that the
Dunbar recital is even more satisfactory.
\ recent judgement of prominent

knowledge of negro nature and negro
dialect is as accurate as if he had spent
his life ON southern soil. All who do not

GOOD YEAR FOR FRUIT MEN.

of Peaches.

Pullman, Wash.-W. A. La Toilette
inc 1rult king Of Whitman county
| was IN town Wednesday from his
| nity-acre orchard on the Snake river
at "aWaWai and is in excellent spirits
over the fruit crop which is now al
most harvested. The bulk Of the
crop mas been gathered and market
ed, only the later varieties of
peaches, prunes and pears being yet
10 gather, and in two or three weeks
the fruit harvest will be entirely over
Ihls has been a prosperous year
Tor fruit growers on the river and
good profits have been made from the
frult crop. The yield was good and
prices averaged fair. Taken as a
whole, there have been few seasons
more favorable. Two years ago the
early market was the highest ever
known, and fabulous prices were OBJ
tanned for the early fruit, but the la
ter fruits were sold at ruinouslv low
prices, which brought the average
that year down to about the average
prices Obtained this season. The
cause Of this was the heavy fruit
crop in number Of states where the
crop matured about the same time as
the latest Snake river fruit
Some idea of the extent Of Mr.. La
Follettes orchard may be gained from
his conversation: II lost quite a
few peaches this year, owing to the
chard probably being 5000 to 5000
boxes said he. In reply to the startl-
ed exclamation that 5000 boxes of
peaches should be considered a few
shipped about 40 600 boxes of peaches
from his orchard. and the loss was
not alarming when the amount of
fruit saved was taken into considera-
ton. Asked how many acres he has
in peaches, Mr.. La Toilette replied.
Il cannot tell. l have $50 acres in
orchard and peach trees are planted
all through it. Probably one-third OF

pears paid better than any other
fruit this year." said he. Il got as
high as $3.50 per box for my pears
in New York and they Melted me at
the orchard $125 per box. The boxes
contain about forty pounds of pears.
Grapes yielded better this year than
ever known on the river and the
prices has been good. There has
been good money in grapes, and |
think. taking the season as a whole,
it has been one Of the best in recent
years. All fruits yielded we'll and
good prices have been obtained
throughout"

which he affirms is the Sabbath OF the

The fact that his is the only Sunday

pies have been rewarded with a down
pour of silver.
Other shops ascertaining the condI-

vaion is that he keeps the Sabbath
more devoutly than any of his perse-

in the matter is simply to enforce the
