Value Of M. 8 o. Stock.

WHOM IT NAY INTEREST:

To WHOM IT NAY INTEREST:
Being asked SO many times since 1
arrived home rs to what thought was
the value of the NJ, s. o. Ry. stock
will answer through your columns if
you will permit me the space.
LIST. will state that it is entirely in
the hands of the stockholders and citi-
zens rs to its worth as there is traffic
and freight enough that can be sent
over the road to make it worth its face
if not premium at the present time
the road lie paying its running expenses
and I hope enough to pay the interest
on the bonds. Such being the State State Of
affairs, al that Earned over that
Would go toward declaring dividend,
and very little more effort on the part
of the stock holders will make the stock
worth its face.
End. What good has tie road done
for Manchester? 1t has created pay |
roll that amounts to close to $1,000 per
annum which is nearly all distributed
among our Manchester merchants. All
of this $1,000 heretofore has been car
ried off by the Ill. Central as they have
in no instance reduced their staff of
help here. This being the case, should
not the citizens turn over to the road
all the freight and traffic they can for
the benefit of t he enterprise. A thought
full person l think cannot deny this
fact. The company has placed at the
disposal of the citizens of the town the
Wells Fargo Express, the Postal Tele-
graph and about $500 miles of railroad
in direct touch with Manchester which
puts us in touch with a large territory
that it was very hard to reach before.
The citizens invested their money in
the enterprise and will not hesitate to
say if nine-tenths of the people of Man
chester will put in half the energy to
procure freight and traffic that they did
to procure the tax it will be success
and every dollar of stock be worth its
face and they will not lose dollar Of
the 100000 that they voted to its aid
Now remember what is everybody't
business is often attended to by no one
but in this case let every one lend theil
best efforts to make it success and s
success it will be and credit to those
that voted the tax and benefit to thu
city at large. JOSEPH HUTCHINSON.

Where do Pixies live?

During the last election campaign
the only reason we heard urged against
the election of James Legassick, was
that che is too old" Those who have
attended the present session of the
board and seen how easily and well he
handles the matters that are brought
before the board for action, will agree
with us in saying that his mature
years and ripe experience, are reasons
for, rather than against, his election.
He is man of strict integrity, firm. ;1-
his intention to do right, regard!sss of
fear or favor, and no one E5o voted
for him will ever have jysN cause for

Richard Rogers, tramp black
smith, better known as Horseshoe
Red got into quarrel last Friday
morning in Jane Cooper's restaurant
with a. @. Acres. Rogers WAS the ag-
gressor and was deservedly whipped by
Acres. Both parties left the restaur
ant, Rogers leaving first, and going to
his room he procured revolver and re-
turned to the restaurant. Just as he
got near the door Mr.. Will Work who
had entered after the combatants left,
opened it to come out, and Rogers
crazed with whiskey and the recollec.
ton Of his beating, and probably think
ing Mr.. Work was his recent antagon
list, drew his revolver and shot Mr.
Work in his left arm just below the
elbow. Rogers was promptly take1
into custody, waived preliminary ex
animation, and placed under bonds b.
Justice Pearse in the sum of $4,000. Fl
is now in Jail where he will be held t
await the action of the grand jur
; at the February term of court whel
he will of course be indicted, an
in all probability sent to the peniten
: tiary. The wound inflicted upon MI
Work, though a painful one, is no
: deemed serious but will disable him TO
! some time. 1t is no defense for Roger
that he mistook Mr.. Work for Acre
t and he should suffer the severest pena
q ty prescribed by law for his crime.

MID-W|NTER CIRCUS
A Splendid Performance
Given Last Night
lEONDOR BROTHERS A FEATURE
Trapeze, Horizontal Bar and TumblIng
Acts Make Up an Excellent
Program.

The midwinter circus by the Whit
man college students and the Walla
Walla band opened in Armory hall
last night to a large audience. Every
reserved seat in the house was occu-
pied and the gallery was fairly Well
filled. The show went off without a
hitch and the entertainment furnished
was first class. The show was opened
with a grand entry in which over zoo
performers and the troupe Of trained
elephants participated. P. M. Winans
had charge of the show and he made
an excellent ringmaster.
There are many excellent features
in the show and the audience greatly
enjoyed the performance. John Lam
bert and his elephants made a big hit
| with the people, and gave a good tmi-
tation of the big animal act. The star
act of the circus is given by the Leon
dor Brothers, a professional team from
F.! Portland. They give a fine exhibition
of hand balancing and feats in tumb-
! ling in fact their work is the equal of
| any of the regular circus perform
ances. The Mclean brothers do a
| trapeZe act which is as good as that of
| many professional teams. The contor-
| ton act of Calder was exceptionally
good and brought forth rounds of APP
| plause from the spectators. Morgan
and Corpe do a turn on the horizontal
and parallel bars that is first class,
while Niles and Paxton give good ex-
| hibitiOn of bar work. Twenty clowns
furnish the funny part of the program
and the act alone is we'll worth the
| price of admission. Every nation in
the world is represented by this bunch
of merry makers. Their concerted top
| ical song was one of the features of the
| evening. The pyramid team under the
direction of Byron Lutcher gave a good
performance. This team is composed
of Lutcher Perringer, butcher, Ora
ham, Niles, Condit, John Lyman and
James Lyman.
In keeping with the custom of the
big circuses. a concert was given at
the close of the ring performance a
good program of musical numbers by
the boys ana girls SIee CLUBS OF the
college, a solo by 'Cy Simpkins' as
"Rube,' and an exceptionally good
| electric club swinging stunt by Libby
made up the entertainment of this part
of the show.
| The peanut and lemonade vendors
| were in evidence and the entire event
| was given strictly along regular circus
| lines. The side show, in which many
| freaks are displayed, did a good bust
| ness.
Tonight another performance will be
given. The Walla Walla Military band
will open the show with a concert of
| several numbers. The grand parade
will be repeated, while a change will
| be made in the several acts.
One of the specialties for tOnight's
performance will be a boxing bout be-
! tween four soldiers of the Ninth cav
airy. In the concert Miss Florence
Stratton, of Waitsburg, will render a
violin solo.

A SUGGESTION to the Public.

When a person claiming to be an
Osteopath locates in your city and
you desire his services, first learn
whether he holds a diploma from a
reputable college Of osteopathy. THIS
information will be cheerfully furnish
ed to inquirers by DR.. Irene HARDWOOD
Ellis, No. 144, Huntington avenue,
Boston, Mass, secretary of the Ameri-
can Osteopathic association. This
suggestion is made in the interest of
geneuine osteopathy. Not every man
who calls himself an osteopath is an
osteopath. Numerous ignorant and
be osteopaths are abroad in the land
See that you are not imposed upon.
