LITTLE GAME OF DRAW
TWO WALLA WAllA BUSINESS
MEN ENGAGE IN POKER AND
ARE ARRESTED.
City Marshal of La Grande Plays :
Joke on a Party While Enroute
to Pendleton.

Two Walla Walla business men are
said to have had a bad scare on a
train while going to Pendleton Tues
day afternoon. According to the story
as given to the PendletOn East Ore
gonian, by City Marshal Rayburn OF
La Grande there was party OF four
men on the train-tWO travelling men
and a couple of Walla Walla business
men-an Pendleton bound. After the
train had started we'll on it's way, one
of the travelling men suggested
friendly little game of draw, and the
four men mentioned were agreeable
and sat in. A few minutes passed and
the game was getting strenuous, when
the marshal stepped up to them. and
showing his star. told them that they
were under arrest, as they were
gambling, which was contrary to the
rules of the company, and the laws
of the state as made and provided.
The four men were completely taken
by SURPRISE but made no resistance
and were kept under arrest until they
reached the city, when they were
turned loose, and last night bought
things for the benefit of the crowd.
One of the Walla Walla men, VINO
is reported to have been recently mar
ried. was especially discouraged when
he was apparently in the clutches OF
the law. L have lost my overcoat
and umbrella since starting on this
trip" he explained to the sympathetic
officer, land now l have got mixed up
with these travelling men and have
lost my reputation. and when my wife
hears of it I will lose her" His joy
when found it was a joke. can better
be ina gined than described.

consideration the dismissal of many
high salaried employees, in addition to
those already discharged, but no state

This is the second time in the mis-
tory of these schools that the cadet
bodies have been recognized by the
president of the United States. Pres
ident Mckinley gave the first recogni-
ton of the cadets during the Spanish
American war, when he appointed 100
second lieutenants from these military
bodies. Capt. Kimmel now command
ing the cadets here, was among this
number, and after brief service in the
Philippines. was promoted to first
lieutenancy, and little later to be
captain. The board of regents. at its
last meeting, appropriated $50 with
which to buy swords for the commits
stoned officers Of the cadet corps.
The short courses in assaying,
horticulture and dairying will begin
soon after the new year. January 4 the
course in assaying will open in the
school of mines, and the indications
are that the attendance will be large.
In the past this course has been at
tended largely by men actually en-
gagged in mining or prospecting, and
it has proven profitable to them. They
are taught to assay, and also given
much other useful knowledge of the
scientific part of mining.
January II the short course in
horticulture will open for a term of
ten weeks, during which the art of
grating, budding, pruning and spray
ing fruit trees will be taught and IL
Illustrated by competent men, There
will be lectures and discussions on
many topics of interest to fruit
growers, and fruit growers and farm
ers from all parts of the northwest
are expected to attend. These courses
are free. and board and lodging can
be obtained at reasonable rates. !
The annual dairy school opens Feb
ruary s in the new creamery, which is
expected to be completed by that time.
This, too, will continue for term of
ten weeks. and dairymen from all parts
of Washington are expected to attend.
There will be regular courses in butter
making, cheese making and other de-
partments of dairying, while an inter-
esting and instructive course of lee
lures on dairy topics will be delivered.

does not believe in arden stage kiss
ing. She has an individual viewpoint
on footlight morality that is interest
ing and bans enthusiastic osculation
The clever coincidence contends that
responsibility is the first essential of
true stage success, and she does not
believe that savage love-making is ne
cessary before an American audience
There are only three men in the
world" says Miss Cahill who have
the right to really kiss a woman-her
husband, her father and her brother
l think the stage wooing of some ac-
tors is entirely too ardent, and as
kissing is one of the most sacred forms
of salutation, it is bad taste, from my
viewpoint, at least, to degrade by over
doing it,

TRACK MONARCHS MAY LOSE
Records Of Lou Dillon and Ran Patch

1t begins to look as though Lou Dill

queen of trOtters. The indications are
that the wonderful records of this

preceded by wind or dust shields
1t is almost certain that the records
will be grouped separately in the an

records be followed.
If Cresceus' record trial of 59A is
allowed, the old champion will
again be on top. His trial. was made
without a wind shield, but there is
some question as to its legality.
At the concluding session of the
board of review of the National Trot-
ters association, recently, the board
took the following action in regard to
the wind shield records:
The National Trotting association
reserves the question as to the proper
classification of time performances
made under unusual conditions over
its tracks and declines to pass such
performances up to the American
Trotting Register association without
exception. but recommends that the
reserve question be taken ND by the
board provided for in rule 43. section
II. and disposed Of"
The board provided for under sec
ton II. rule 43 is composed of P. P.
Johnston. president of the National
Trctting association, William Russell
Allen. president of the American Trot-
ting Register asSocia ton, and w. P.
Ijams, president of the American Trot-
ting association.
The meaning of this resolution is
that some new kind of classification
will be arranged.

SHERIFF SENT TO JAIL.
Schofield of Ward County Sentenced
for Ninety Days.

GRAND FORKS, n. D., Dec. II
Just before the adjournment of the
federal court at noon today Sheriff
sschofeld of Ward county was called
before Judge Amdon for sentence for
contempt of court for having ap-
preached a member Of the federal petit
jury, Ben Jones of MinOt, and telling
him that Major Murphy was a fine
fellow and that the charge upon which
he was to be tried was trumped up by
his political enemies to kill him off.
Before passing sentence the court
administered a most scathing rebuke
to the sheriff for his conduct which
was termed extremely reprehensible,
and designated such practices as one
of the most serious menaces to civiliza-
ton and good government.
He then sentenced Scofield to serve
ninety days in Cass county jail

eal-eu Solvent, Dr.. kennedy's New Medl-

A surgical operation is no longer neces-

neb medicine, Cal-cura Solvent, discovered
by the welLknown physician and surgeon,
DIR. David Kennedy, of Kennedy Row,

swiftly expels Stone, Red and White GRAY
ell, thus freeing the patient of the infamma-

these lime formations Better than all,
Cal-cura Solvent prevents the formation of
Stone and Gravel and all uric acid condi-
tons of the blood. The medical profess
sion has accepted and heartily endorsed
the principal upon which DR.. Kennedy
has based his claims for CaLcura Sol
vent.

The recent order of the state cattle
commission forbidding anyone from
driving cattle from Massachusetts into
Vermont, or vice versa, because of the
quarantine on account of the hOof and
mouth disease, has brought about
some interesting complications which
have been referred 10 the cattle com
missioner at Washington. Many
farmers own farms, part of which are
in Massachusetts and the other part in
Vermont, and by the new order they
are even prevented from turning their
cattle out to pasture, since they would
be constantly passing from one state
to the other and thus breaking the law.
One farmer has barn which is part
ly in Williamstown and partly in Pow
nal, and he asks if he lays himself lie
able when he drives his COWS from one
end of the barn to the other.
