LAWYERS Fees.

There was a time when lawyers
gowns had pockets in the back, In
which client could deposit an hon
orarium" without giving sordid,
mercantile character to his relations
with his counsel. But ex-Judge Por
ter says the law isn't what 1t was
even fifty years ago, and has passed
the days of the honorarium. Lawyers
are simply the paid employees of their
clients" One Of the evidences of the
change is that the Law association is
urging bill to protect lawyers against
the loss of contingent fees by settle.
ment of cases out of court. Contln-
gent fees were unprofessional once.
1t will also be noticed as a change
that it is now necessary to protect
lawyers from their ciients.-Philadel-

Renodeling.

The Arthur home at 11th and Main
streets is being materially remodeled.
The entire roof. save small portion,
has been raised and instead of the
house having a half story it will in
the future have full! story. Besides
this change. there is being added a
wide and handsome stairway leading
to the SECOND floor, so that the house
has been practically rebuilt.
When completed it will materially
add to the hom=. although it has al
ways been one of the best kept and
handsomest properties in the city.

at eight thirty O'Clock. but the happi-
ness of the bride will more than off :
set any material things which might

will be the marriage of Miss Laura

/ formed by Rev. Eugene Smith of the
Fifth street Methodist church and
1t will be for only the immediate

fast the happy couple will leave over
the narrow gauge for Denver. which
will become the future home of the
newly welded pair.
! The bridal gown to be worn by
Miss Foreman will be white liberty
! satin trimmed with white lace. She
I will carry bridal roses.
The groom will wear the conven-
/ tional black for the service.
Miss Foreman. the bride to be, is.
possible. one of the best known young
women in the city. For period of
eight years almost. or from girl
hood to womanhood. she was con-
nected with the Office force of the
Sentinel of this city. In her position
she was brought in contact with the
&c -.
and years ago won their regard and
respect bv her business tact and gen
eral dsportment in the discharge of
her duties to her employers. Miss
Foreman. always bright. developed
natural taste for newspaper writing
and has done some most excellent
work in that capacity and had she so
desired might have contiu1ed her
career to one of undoubted success and
honor in the journalistic line. She
was keen in perception. knew what
constituted news and was eager at all
time to give every possible item
the public, worth the name of news.
That she will grace the home of
her husband and at all times add
grace and life to he. family circle.
is beyond any question of doubt.
Albret Smith Blakely. the groom,
is little known here. save to the small
circle cf friends whose friendship he
cultivated. He is now in the employ
of the Globe Express Co., in the ca
pacity of express messenger between
this city and Denver He has been a
faithful employee of the Denver and
Rio Grande road and its successors,
the Globe Co. for period of eighteen
years and the officials of that organi-
zation have only the best and highest
praise for him. The groom is retiring
in disposition. but those with whom
he has worked say that he is one of
the best liked and competent men in
the service. So it will be seen that
the couple is well mated.
The many friends of the young
people will join with the Sentinel in
wishing them long life and prosperity
and joy in their welded life.
Mr.. and Mrs. Blakely will be home
after January 10Th in Denver. at No.

Has Ellery's Royal Italian band

Mayer of the organization, who is in
Walla W,alla perfecting arrangements
for the band to fulfill its engagement
at the fruit fair this month, asserts
that it has been unionized, but the
statement is denied by Secretary
Henry Harbeck of the musicians I'M

is supposed to have joined the Am

Members of the local musicians

bers of the union five weeks ago at
Davenport, asking if such was the
case. The reply received this morn

WEEK COOL THROUGH0UT.2
Showers Were of Almost Daily Occur
renee in Some Parts of State and
Quite Heavy in Some Instances.

The week was cool throughout, with
a mean ten perature of three or more
degrees below the average, says the
government crop and climate bulletin
for the week ending September IA.
On the mornings Of the 9th and 10th
it was almost cool enough for frost
Showers were of almost daily occur
renee, and in some Instances they
were quite heavy. Altogether the
rainfall was from one-half an inch to
over an inch in different localities.
The abundance OF moisture was
very beneficial to pastures and ranges
and root crops and cabbage were
greatly improved. 1t is thought that
late potatoes will in some cases be in
creased in size, as a result Of the
moisture. The ground has, as an eff
feet of the abundant rainfall, been
put in excellent condition for blowing
and the seeding of fall wheat. Pre-
vious to the rains but little of such
work had been done, but it will now
go rapidly forward. Late apples will
probably be larger on account Of the
rainfall
Harvesting and threshing were in
terrupted by the bad weather, ana
completely stopped on the 18th. Good
weather will enable these operations
to be resumed on the 18th, and few
fine days would see harvesting fin
ished in all localities. Wheat in the
shocks in the eastern counties, and
oats in the western counties, were
quite badly wet by the storms, and
the grain will be considerably dam
aged Fortunately harvesting was
more than three-fourths done.
Considerable hop-picking was done
in the earlier yards, especially Of the
Yakima country. 1t was much delay
ed and interrupted, and finally stop
ped by the rainy weather. The rain
was injurious to the hops, adding &c
the injury already done by mold in a
number of yards.
In parts Of the eastern counties
high winds and hail damaged fruit
and standing grain to some extent.
Considerable late wild hay was spoil
ed. The wet weather was bad for
plums and prunes, causing them ~
crack and rot on the trees.
