large Wholesale houses in Portland,
Seattle and Tacoma have realized that
the location of Walla Walla made this
most advantageous point from

Der have come to the city, and are
making it their permanent home.
Many of them have purchased prop
erty and have settled here.
This means a great deal more to the
business men of Walla Walla than
the people would imagine. These
statesmen not only spend their money
among local business men, but it en-
ahles the merchant to keep in close
touch with the representations of the
houses with whom they deal

THE ASSASSIN AT LARGE.
But the Chain of Evidence is Gradually
Strengthening.
(New Ulm News.)


There is little to be said in addi-
tion to what was published last
week referring to the assassination
of DIR. Gebhardt, and in addition to
what was said and done at the Sat
urday evening mass meeting. That
meeting, though misconstrued in
it's purpose, by few persons, has
accomplished some good already
and will accomplish much more.
By appointing a committee of re-
spected and fearless citizens to aid
in finding the criminal and securing
evidence to arrest and convict him,
some timid persons have already
come forward and furnished small
links to the necessary chain to con-
vict.
Though so far as the general pub
lie may know there may be some
time yet before an arrest can be
safely made, enough is known TO
convince the writer that there is
steady, though it may be slow, gain
in the accumulation of evidence on
the clues on which the Pinkerton
detectives have been working, and
the grip will be steadily frightened.
There have been many rumors of
scraps of evidence here and there,
some of which have proven to be
worthless, but some have been
found reliable and important. The
door leading from the hall into the
reception room is to be used as
evidence, as it bears blood from
the hand of the murderer as he
rested against the door while peer
ing through the half inch margin
of the stained or frosted glass pan
mel forming the upper half of the
door. This simply adds to more
material evidence.
The News would not again refer
to Mr.. Brooks relation to the MUIR
der of DR.. L. A. Gebhardt but for
the fact that his knowledge of the
conduct connected Herewith forms

of testimony that the Pinkerton de

COMMERCIAL CLUB.
Proposition to Build Opera House Tabled
Mr.. Apitz Gets $50.

At a meeting of the Commercial
club on Friday evening OF last
week the proposition of the st. Paul
party to build an opera house in
Redwood Falls, after local people
had furnished the site and SUBJ
scribed 81, 900 for tickets, was laid
on the table. The members present
were quite unanimous that the time
had not yet arrived. for the con-
struction of the proposed building,
and inasmuch as local people had in
the same offer the latter would be
given preference.
The claim of G. f. Apitz, manager
of the Redwood Falls base ball club,
for $50 due the club by reason of
one of the games Of ball being can
celled during the county fair, was
finally adjusted by Mr.. Apitz ac-
cepting $50 in payment of the claim.
It will be remembered that after
the game was played between Slee-
ply Eye and Redwood on Wednesday
it was decided to cancel the game
on Thursday. The clubs were to
have $3.50 for the two games, but
only $50 was paid for one OF them.
The club has an indebtedness Of
about $3.50 and the membership
committee was authorized to collect
all dues before Jan. 1stin order that
the outstanding bills might be paid,
and start the club in free of indebt-
edness at the annual meeting to be
held in January.
The question Of relinquishing the
lease on the two lots on Second
street, and permitting the owners
to sell the same, was up for con-
sideration. An offer was made on

exactly the correct washes to restore the
natural color. Dark hair is comparatively
easy to treat, as there are preparations
which will retard it's turning gray which,
while dyes in a sense, are perfectly harm
less and can be applied by any one who
is careful in washing all parts evenly.
Extract Of walnut for darNening the hair
is sold by all first-class drug stores, with
full directions for use, and is said by
those who have tried it to be efficacious.
1t is made from the hulls of black wal
nuts. Bay rum and rock sulphur is an
other excellent wash and less objection
able than the walnut extract. However,
should you decide to use this wash, you
must be very careful to examine the pores
of the face, near the hair, after using it.

with extra care two or three times each
day, or you will be surprised to find each
phur deposit has run down from the scalp

| is not unpleasant to use. To make the
wash, put one ounce of rock sulphur,
broken in small Jumps (do not use the
powdered sulphur), in clean bottle and
add four ounces of the best bay rum: let
| stand for a week and it is ready for use.

girl who is willing to take little extra
time in making her toilet can have ruch-
ings in various tints to match her gowns
as a few stitches serve to fasten them in
place. For the sailor of ordinary size
fve-inch ruching is wide enough, and
plating is more effective than shrring.

stOles stocks and collars, for Persian
bands and Bulgarian embroidery are both
fashioned into neck accessories.
Don't forget that ppings are in style.
You can do such a great deal with pip
ings. Take enough white taffeta to make
a line along the seams of your gown and
you have something that is distinctive and
pretty. Don't try to get along without a
little piping this summer OF ~one kind or
another Your gowns will not be a sue
cess without it.
1t frequently happens that the inita ton

they are much cheaper. it is a good thing
to know this. Try the experiment with
your next gown and see how you come
out.
The girl who keeps up with the mode
will be sure to have little burnt orange,
preferably in velvet, introduced some
where on her cloth gown, and when this is
| oyerlaid with gold bullion stitches, the
acme of smartness Is attained. On the
white gowns little hints and touches Of
gold braid are observed, but this must be

gown is one Of the pretty conceits. Such
pretty effects in dress can be obtained If
