WELL KNOWN CITIZEN DIES.
G. H. Moulton After a Brief Illness
Passes Away at Four O'clock this
Morning.

The citizens of North Yakima were
astonshed this morning to learn of the
death of G. H. Moulton who died of
heart failure about four o'clock this
wednesday, morning at the home Of
Mrs. Houston, 4O6 north Third street.
Mr.. Moulton has lived in Yakima for
fifteen years and was considered one of
her best citizens. He was at one time
a justice of the peace, but of late years
has done considerable contracting and
has built most of the city's board side
walks.
He was taken down few days ago
with the fever and his death was unex-
pectcd.
The deceased leaves five grown chill
dren, three of whom are boys. None of
tb1m are living here. One married
daughter lives in Walla Walla while the
balance of the family are residents of
the Sound.
The funeral will be held tomorrow
and the remains will be laid to rest in
Tahoma cemetery.

In the death at Tacoma recently, of
Edwin n. Fuller, secretary of the Wash
ington Historical society, the state
loses one of its most honored and useful
citizens. He was a veteran newspaper
man, having done work Oh the Ledger in
the early days of Tacoma. He was a
careful, painstaking writer and labored
faithfully for the development of the
state. At the time of his death, al
though 80 years of age, his mind was
clear and his faculties unimpaired. OF
late years he has taken a deep interest
in the gathering of data of the early
history of the state and has compiled
much historical matter of great interest
and value to the entire northwest. His
loss will be greatly mourned by host
VINO knew him.

Opening of the Yakima Theatre.

Gorton's name has long been associs-
ted with the best kind of entertain
ments, and manager Pearl is confident
this season he can easily surpass all
previous efforts. Every thing about the
production has been elaborated with the
greatest care.
Clean, unobjectionable features follow
each other in swift succession and the
person who desires to hear the highest
type of minstrelsy will not be disap-
pointed.
The company comprises a score and a
half of stars, each master in his own
line. Songs of quality, graceful dancers
expert specialists, make up a program
that can not be eScelled. Yakima Thea
tire, Aug. 90.

A country lady offers a suggestion
elsewhere in these columns that is wor-
thy the consideration of the citizens of
this place, namely, providing a suitable
place where women and children can
drop in and rest and rearrange their
toilet. As stated by the good lady many
Of them drive a long way in the neat
and dust and place where the outer
garments can be removed and the dust
shaken off and a cool and refreshing
wash be had would be appreciated.
There is no place where anyone can go
and feel that they are not encroaching
upon someone and consequently are
obliged to walk the streets until time
to start for nome The Herald suggests
that someone or all of the numerous
woman's organizations OF the city in
terest themselves in the subject to the
end that the comfort and pleasure of the
ladies who live at distance may be
heightened when they come to this city
to do their trading.

1t is rumored that the railroad com

It is rumored that the railroad COM
pany is not in favor of the nomination
of Mr.. Coonse for assessor at the coming
and an effort will be made
to thwart the wishes of the people who
wish to see him serve another term.
While it is true that Mr.. Coonse has
raised the assessment of the railway,
other corporations which, in the judg-
ment of Mr.. Coonse have not paid their
just portion of the taxes, have also
been raised. Assessor Coonse has work
ed in the interests of the county during
his term of office and if he is turned
down at the coming convention for no
other reason than that he has antag-
onized the railroad company, it is in
deed poor appreciation of the services
of a faithful servant.

fusionists all but one on the ticket were
elected. In 1902 when the party had
again gained strength and fixing
things" in advance began to be intro
duccd, two candidates were defeated.
And it may be noted that both of these
were from the city and were placed upon
the ticket after hard battle. This
would indicate that it might be safer
to allow the country to vote as a unit
and submit the result to the city in
stead OF vice versa. Let the party bat
ties be fought out at the primaries and
conventions and have harmony at the
polls.
1t behooves the country delegates. in
the interest of the taxpayers whom they
represent, to be on their guard and fur
nish their support to the candidates
that will afford the greatest strength
to the ticket, as we'll as nave the best
qualifications for the duties that will
fall to them in the several offices.
We are not casting any reflections on
the delegates elected from this city. They
are all representative citizens and if
left to act with freedom on each separate
candidate we are certain, in coniunc-
ton with the country delegates acting
in the same manner. strong ticket will
be presented to the people for their en-
dorsement at the polls in November.

THE COUNTY CONVENTION.

The republican county convention
which convenes on Saturday next, is to
nominate the officers who will repre-
sent and conduct this county's affairs
for the ensuing two years. The Herald
says, 'who WILL" as there is no doubt
of a republican victory In November un-
less the delegates presuming too nue.,
on majorities willfully ignore the wish
es of the taxpayers and blinded by per-
sonal feelings or factional jealouses
nominate men VIGOROUSLY unrepresent-
alive of the people. The voters of Yaki-
ma are uncomfortably independent and
they have no hesitation in resenting a
political job at the polls. The Herald
is confident there will be no cause for
any exercise of their rights by the PEG.
pie at large. The delegates elected last
Saturday although many of them train.
ed politicians, are mostly from the peo.
pie and of the people and can be trusted
to do their full duty to the party and
all citizens.
Quite responsibility rests upon the
delegates. The Herald believes they arc
alive to the good of the citizens and
the best interests of the party and trusts
that the convention will present to the
people for their endorsement in Novem.
Der ticket strong in its personel and
free from faint in the character of its
men.

Orpheum Theatre.

Things are doing" at the Orpheum
Theatre this week. The bill is without
question the strongest and most refined
that was ever played in the city.
The Athon- Wilson-C Clark Co. are max
ing their usual hit in 1.-THE Midnight
Invader" This is an excellent farce
and is presented in very able manner.
They are artists of much refinment,
polish and finish.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dick Tracy are
artists in every sense Of the word. In
their sketch "Frisky Bill, they intro
duce manv new and novel features.
Their sketch is neat, clean, and refined
with the best comedy running through
it. They mysteriously glide from the
sublime to the ludicrous with degree
of grace and ease that appeals to the
wonder and admiration of the audience
Last night they were obliged to answer
several encores.
Harry L. Perry puts on very novel
and interesting act. He ranks among
the best monologue artists in the bust
ness. He never fails to make a hit
when he plays the violin and at the
same time executes some OF the most
difficult buck and wing steps known.
The illustrated song "The boys are
coming Home Today" is very ably rem
dered bv Mr.. Robt. Athon.
The moving pictures very wildly de-
pict "a Trip to Italy" This is one OF
the best films made. In it one sees
some Of the most beautiful scenery ever
seen by the eye OF man, Naples, Venice.

in time of peace, but the party leaders
have not been kept on ice long enough
to cool off the republican enthusiasm
in favor of Theodore Roosevelt. The
democrats have kept resolving and
praising Thomas jefferson, but if any
democrat can show jefferson principle
in Alton B. Parker, it must be that he

Stagnant Water on West Side.

Some of the west side residents arc
complaining of stagnant water which
is standing in low places on lots ad-
jacent to and in recently graded streets
near the Columbia school building. The
mayor and Councilman D. NJ. Rand look
ed into the matter the first of the week
but concluded only temporary relief
could be given the situation at present.
All the water running in bitches in that
vicinity will be cut off. As a matter
of fact the only way to meet this condi-
ton of affairs is to establish drainage
system.

North Yakima can get pointer or
two on how to conduct primaries that
are honest beyond the shadow of a doubt
from the little sister town of Prosser.
At the latter named place the primary
law was used which requires the names
on the different tickets to be printed on
one ballot and the voter places a cross
before the names of those he wishes
sent as delegates.

THE DRAINAGE QUESTION.

Many complaints are arising from
citizens residing on the west side, be-
cause of the amount of standing water
and are clamoring for better drama ge
facilities.
Anyone inspecting that locality SYM
pathizes with their demands. But who
is to blame for existing conditions? A
short time since the proposition of vot
ing an issue of bonds for the purpose of
constructing an ample and well consid-
cred sewerage and drainage system for
the whole city was defeated at the polls.
The majority of the opposition came
from the west side. The necessity for
the expense was fully and publicly
stated. Now there is practical demon
stration on the west side, of the truth of
those statements,
Drainage is necessary on the west side
but it should not be entered into in a
desultory scattered manner but as a
part and parcel of one grand systematic
whole that embraces the entire city in
the plan, the expense to be borne by all
taxpayers. The plan submitted by tho
council at the last election was fair and
equitable for present needs and mad it
carried, this paper believes would have
proven very satisfactory.
The Herald hopes that at the mex.
general city election there will be an
