Foot Was Amputated,

Claude Lynch, the brakeman, who
was injured at Knapp's siding on the
Dallas and Falls City railroad, last
Thursday afternoon, was taken to the
Florence Sanatarium in Salem, where
his left foot was amputated just in
front of the ankle. He rallied nicely
from the effects Of the operation, and
is now able to sit up most of the time.
He is not worrying over the sad mis-
fortune, but considers himself lucky
in escaping worse fate under the car
wheels. The surgeons say that enough
of the foot remains to enable him to
wear a shoe, and express the belief
that his permanent lameness will be
slight. Claude IS popular boy in
Dallas, and his many friends will
join with him in feeling thankful that
the accident was not attended by more
serious results. He will probably be
able to leave the hospital in about two
weeks.

COLD STORAGE FOR MEAT
Dallas City Market Has Purchased
Largest Size Stevens Ice Box.

Murrell, Haldeman & Gorke, pro-
prietors of the Dallas City Meat
Market, have purchased a Stevens
ice box for their market and will here
after keep all meats in cold storage
The box is one of the largest manu-
featured, and has capacity for large
supply of meat. Customers Will be
enabled to see at all times the amount
of stock on hand without taking any
body's word for it, and will be assured
of getting the very best meat to De
had in the market.
This firm desires to say that they
are in no way associated with the
firm Of Fidler & Marks, who have
recently opened market in Dallas
An impression has gone out that the
two markets are under one manage
ment, and it is to correct this wrong
idea that this statement is made.
The Dallas City Market respectfully
soIicits your patronage, assuring you
that you will be treated right and that
nothing but the very choicest meat
will be offered you at all times.
Respectfully yours,

I'm hearing before the river

that water competition has reduced
freight rates largely, and from the
hearing we would understand that
water competition here in our state
would decrease freight rates from
to six cents per cwt., thereby saw

Crippled Child Burned.

CoLFAx, WASH, Oct. 1O.-A hor-
rible accident occurred here at 1
o'clock today when Glennie, the
year old son of Mrs. Ada Sudweek
living in DR.. B. F. Harvey's resi-
dence on Mill street, was so fright
fully burned that his death is ex-
pected momentarily.
Mrs. Sudweek had lighted lamp
and left it in the room when the
child pulled it over, spilling the oil
on his clothing and setting it on
fire. When found the child was
burned to a crisp and there is no
hope of his recovery. The child
was crippled, being partially para
lyzed, and almost helpless.
The house was set on fire, but
was extinguished before any serious
damage was done. Mrs. Sudweek
is widow and has lived here about
one month. She is hysterical since
the accident, and it requires the
combined efforts of several persons
to keep her quiet.

Send a Solid Delegation.

Ii is rumored that certain repub-
licans intend to vote for Peter Nc
Gregor and scratch Leroy Stilson,
that others will vote for Leroy Still
son and scratch Peter McGregor, in
the seventh representative district.
1t has also been stated that the
same kind of work would be done
in the Eighth district, where E. e.
Smith and G. G. Kenoyer are the
nominees. 1t often happens that
the voter, in casting such ballot,
helps to bring about the defeat of
the very man he wishes to elect.
The best way to bring about the
election of the men you wish is to
vote the republican Legislative tick
ct without a scratch. No better
men are before the people for legis-
lative honors than Peter McGregor,
Leroy Stilson, E. E. Smith and G..
c. Kenoyer. Only one senator is
to be selected in the county this
year; therefore, for that office it is
either a republican you want or a
democrat. H. M. Boone, the re-
publican nominee, is one of the
strongest men in the county and
will be elected.
All five men on the republican
legislative ticket are commission
men from the sole of their feet to
the crown of their heads. If you
want to be sure that the Whitman
delegation will work for such a
measure in the next legislature,
vote the republican legislative tick
ct straight A solid delegation will
be able to accomplish more than
will one that is divided. Send
delegation to Olympia that will
work for Whitman county first,
last, and all the time. A republi-
can delegation will do that and do
it well. The nominees are men
who will be able to work together
and accomplish something for their
