It Looks Like Peace, After All.

A few days ago it looked as if the
allied powers were determined upon
rejecting all reasonable terms of settle.
ment of the Venezuelan trouble, by
the overt powers insisting upon pre-
ferential consideration of their claims.
Bowen firmly held that all claimants
should stand upon the same ground.
This stipulation was, however, modi-
fled so as to provide that England,
Germany and Italy as condition pre-
cedent to raising of the blockade, shall
have three months preferential privi-
lege, during which time these powers
shall receive the 80 per cent. of the
custom receipts of the ports of Porte
Cabello snd La Guayra. The matter
is said to be settled if the German for
eign Office approves the suggestion, in
which event Italy will agree. France
agrees to the plan of settlement, as
have the other claimant nations, and
it is thought and fondly hoped that
the war.cloud which 80 portentiously
obscured the horizon, has blown over,
and that the sunburst Of peace as the
harbinger of plenteous prosperity will
soon illumine the horizon.

Investigations.

An organization to fight typhoid and
malarial fever has been perfected
among the Christian Endeavor societies

The movement begun by the Chris
tan Endeavor society of the First Con-
gregational church last Sunday is to be
co-operated in by all the En6eavor
societies in Topeka The organiza tons

ease that has been discovered since
August Is to H. B. Howard. either at

resolution and power of endurance. We
need the same type of character now that
was needed by the men who with WASH
ngton first inaugurated the system of free
popular government, the system of COM
bined liberty and order here on this con-
tinent; that was needed by the men who
under Lincoln perpetuated the govern
ment which had thus been inaugurated in
the days of Washington The qualities
essential to good citizenship and to good
public service now are in all their essen
tials exactly the same as in the days when
the first congresses met to provide for
the establishment of the union: as IN
the days, seventy years later, when the
congresses met which had to provide for
its salvation.
There are many qualities which we
need alike in private citizen and in public
man, but three above all-three for the
lack of which no brilliancy and no genius
can atone-and those three are courage,
honesty and common sense.
Benediction was pronounced by Rev.
William H. Mccormick, of New Jersey,
veteran chaplain.
A greater part of the afternoon was
spent by the president in an inspection
of the points of historic interest on the
battlefield.

MRS. BALL SUSPENDED.
Kansas Woman Causes a Stir in
Washington.

Washington, Sept. las a result of
quarrels among the women of the Span
ish War Veterans auxiliary of Wash
ington, Mrs. Isabel WorreII Ball. the
president, and her staff have been sus-
pended by the national president, Mrs
Flora Lewis. There are four auxiliaries
here. Two of them have withdrawn
and the third is expected to do so in
few days. The trouble was started by
the initiation of Mrs. Miles, wife of
General Miles, as member of one aux
Hilary, about a year ago. Mrs. Miles
was initiated at a reception held at a
private residence and a faction of the
organization says that she is not a
member of the auxiliary here, as the
initiation was not according to the
rules. Mrs. Ball is a Kansas woman
and is we'll known in Kansas City. For
several years she has been conspicuous
at Grand Army encampments and she
has been at the head of the local Span
ish Veterans auxiliary since its or
ganization. She attended the recent
Grand Army encampment at San Fran
cisco, and has not returned. Her friends
say when she reaches Washington she
will take vigorous steps for her rein
statement.
Mrs. Ball was in Topeka the first of
this week and stopped at the Copeland,
but she left Wednesday on her return
to Washington.

IMPROVEMENTS AT PRESCOTT

Sized City.

misrepresentation John Geyer is IL
the city today from Prescott attending
to business matters. Prescott, &C
cording to Mr.. Geyer, who is engaged
in the lumber business in that town
is taking on the appearance of small
sized city, new streets being opened
and graded and old ones being re
paired and sidewalks laid. Under the
new regime the town is growing fast
and an activity in all lines has be
come apparent.
Mr.. Geyer says the citizens are
much interested in the starting of a
bank in Prescott, an institution much
needed A capitalist visited the town
last week and looked into the matter
thoroughly, and while not making any
promises, it is believed a bank will be
opened up as a result of the investiga-
ton AS it is now Prescott people
either have to do their banking at
Waitsburg or come to Walla Walla,
which is rather incOnvenient at times

the county and state elections were
too far away to make any predictions,
although something will probably be
doing when the time comes. Mr.. Gey-
er, who represented the county in the
lower house for two years, 1900-1901,
was a candidate for denomination at
the last republican county convention,
but was sidetracked for a machine
candidate. The action aroused the
ire of the republicans in the Prescott
district, with the result that the ma
chimes choice narrowly escaped de-
feat although the district had given
Mr. Geyer 81 majority two years be-
fore.

Captain Brown of the Whitman
football team arrived from Seattle OF
this mornings train.
| When interviewed on the subjec
of the charges in the Post-Intelligenc
er against Wiley Lasater he said: /"
do not think he played foul l watch
ed the game very closely and watched
Lasater more closely than any mar
on the team and he played no fou
ball that l could see. plainly saw
two of the fumbles myself, they were
pure fumbles. Although I was not a
the reception and did not hear Wiley
make the alleged remarks, l thinl
from what I heard it is very likely he
was fndiscreet in what he said, ani
perhaps made some Of the statements
he did to gain some notoriety for him
self and l think that Coach knight
took advantage of this to create 6
rumpus."
Whitman people are pretty sore al
Coach Knight today as facts develop
which seem to show that he made q
mountain out of a mole hill" 1t ap
pears from all reports that Lasatel
did not go into the game to put out
Spiedel and almost everybody thinks
that he made "chump" Of himself
by making the remarks that he did;
still they do not hesitate to say open
ly that Coach knight was guilty of a
''scrubby" nsportsmanlike trick in
attacking a Whitman player without
finding out the facts and protesting
in the usual way. if there was any
foul work They also aver that
Knights motives were personal in the
matter and that the roast on Lasater
was an effort on his part to make
himself popular with the University
students. They claim that two Seat
tie students admitted as much to
them while over there.
The Whitman college authorities
will take the matter up this week and
make a thorough Investigation of it.
Captain Brown, was also asked about
the charge made in the Tacoma News
and copied in this mornings Union,
that many of the team stayed out late
the night before the game with Puget
