MADE AN EXCELLENT DISPLAY.
Praise on All Sides for Fire Depart
ment.

One of the best displays made yes
terday in the Fourth of July parade
was that of the Walla Walla fire de-
partment. Every piece of apparatus
was turned out and all the members
of the department were there. They
were all attired in neat blue
regulation uniforms and their
splendid appearance received many
compliments from the citizens
of Walla Walla and the Wis
itors. Chief Metz rode at the head of
his department in a buggy. Company
No. l was in charge Of Captain George
Guthrdge and No. was commanded
by Captain William Forster. Assist
ant Chief Robert Wolf was with Chief
Metz.
The fire drill given at 1880 o'clock
was witnessed by an immense throng.
The entire department was out in full
force and they made a splendid run
down Main street. The exhibition was
conducted personally by Chief Metz
and he demonstrated to the people that
he has an efficient force under his
command. The exhibition proved very
to the spectators from the
outside towns.

Record of "Trib."

w. c.. Cutler yesterday received no.
tice from the St. Louis fair commits
sioners that "Trib,' the liquor and to-
bacco cure, had been awarded second
prize as to purely and percentage Of
cures in it's favor. This is certainly
a strong endorsement of "Trib' and
when it is taken into consideration
that its competitor, the Bartlett cure,
manufactured in New York and VIM
ner of the first prize, has field of so
much greater proportion than "Trib,'
which is purely Baker City manu-
featured article, the greater the merit
of the home coure. Mr.. Cutler certain
ly has good reason to feel proud of
the record of "Trib' which has only
been on the market one year, while
the Bartlett cure has been introduced
for over ten years. For sale by L. L.

scented by the Laurence Stock company

noon and last night. Besides several
new specialties, which make q good
bill of themselves, the Man From

Bill the great bicycle performer and
lariat thrower scored great reward
in his endeavOrs to please. His work
was simply immense. He may be seen
at the Park all this week at the eve
ming performance. A general disap-
pOintment went the round as a result
of the failure of the balloon to ascend.
The trouble was that the balloon was
made to small and the gas it contain
ed was not sufficient to raise it from
the ground. For this reason William
Wallace did not make the ascension at
the grounds last night as was sched-
uled.

''R. w. Clark, ex-commissioner of pub

shape, as far as I can see at the present
time" said William Welsh, commissioner
of public works, this morning. ''Mr Clark
and all the officials connected with his of
fee, especially the men at pumping sta
tions A and B, he continued, have given
us all the information we desired concern
ing the affairs of this department"
Some routine work is keeping Mr. Welsh
busy just now and he is putting in all
the time that he possibly can. The
office is continually besieged with appli-
cants for jobs, and Mr.. Welsh has to
shake hands with each one and give him
"jolly" that makes the applicant think
the new commissioner is all right.
The inspection of the new wells in the
South End will be made some time next
week. Mr. Welsh hopes by that time 10

SEATTLE, April 20-The reform wave

administration.

Der of others, less timid, have been hauled
up to the police court, and there promptly
and sternly dealt with by Judge George,
wha has given them orders to leave town
forthwith, and imposed the limit of fine
and imprisonment as a penalty for remain
ing. As consequence, crime shows a
marked decrease.
There are, however, still many hundreds

ELECTRIC RAILWAY CEASES TO
DISCRIMINATE AGAINST TACOMA

Through pressure that has been brought
to bear by different interests, the discrIm-
ination which the Puget Sound Electric
Railway company has shown in favor Of
Seattle as against Tacoma has ceased The
round trip rate from Kent TO Tacoma has
been reduced from 20 cents to 90 cents, the
new rate taking effect yesterday.
Kent is six miles further from Tacoma
than it is from Seattle and the rate Of
fare from Kent to this terminus has been
out of all proportion to the difference in
distance. The round trip rate from Kent
to Seattle has been 80 cents, and from
Kent TO Tacoma 70 cents Because Of the
unjust discrimination in the rate, Taco.
ma merchants have been losers to con
siderable extent because Kent people have
gone to Seattle to trade when, with an
equitable rate of fare, they would often
have come to Tacoma
Some time ago the Chamber Of Com
merce took the matter up and attempted
to have less discriminating rate made. In
this its efforts were seconded BY prom

HOLDUP IN A
SEATTLE JOINT

SEATTLE, April 2O-Armed with re-
volvers and masked in the regulation style,
two highwaymen held up Night Bartender
A. B. Taylor, of the Long Horn saloon, in
North Seattle, yesterday morning and sue
ceeded in escaping with $20S.55, which
they obtained from the till. The place is
located at 2OO9 Western avenue, and at the
time the holdup occurred, 3 o'clock in
the morning, there are seldom any
strangers around. All the detectives on
the police force are searching the city
thoroughly for the desperadoes, but UP
to late hour they had reported no IA
vorable progress.
Taylor states that the men entered the
back door just as he was locking up. One
OF them poked a gun in his face and kept
him covered, while the other emptied the
cash register.
1t is the general supposition that the
men were old hands at the business.

four MONTHS

forged check amounting TO S79.S5 on Her
man A. Buss, saloon keeper at Eectron,
was arraigned before Judge Smell this
morning and sentenced to four months in
the county jail.
sickles did not make the check himself.
He had been drinking with a hobo who
had worked at Electron, and the latter
wrote the check and gave it to SielSles,
who had it cashed at the saloon In order
to make the saloon keeper believe that
the check was good, Sickles told him that
he had been paid off by the Columbia I'm
movement company and called attention

SMOOT INQUIRY is RESUMED WITH
BRIGHAM ROBERTS AS A WITNESS

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 90
Brigham Roberts, one of the seven first
presidents of the Mormon church, who was
elected to congress but was prevented
from taking his scat, was the first witness
this morning at the resumption of the
Smoot inquiry by the senate committee.
He said that he had been married three
times, the first time in 1877 the second
time in 1885. and the third time in 1890.
BY his second wife, Cecil Dibble, who
was his first plural wife, he had eight
children, some of whom had been born
since his election to congress in 1893.
He was married to this third wife by
Daniel II. Wells, counselor to the apostles,
in Salt Lake City. There were no wit
nesses, nor was either of his previous
wives present.

TOURIST HOTEL PROPOSITION
FROM ANOTHER POINT OF VIEW

Architect T. II. Heath is strong sup

Tourist hotel into a high school building.
He expressed himself to The Times today
as follows:
"The building as it stands today is worth
900 for high school purposes. | can
show you any number OF plans similar TO
this one upon which high schools in the
cities of the East have been built, and
even some in England and Switzerland. ]
have figured on all the changes that would
have to be made, and ! find the the build
ings could be remodeed and there would
be a large amount Of common brick Tor
sale after the work was completed.
"Now so far as injury from the fire
which the building passed through is con
cemed, there is none There is absolutely
no danger of the walls giving way. As a
matter Of fact, those walls are one-third
thicker than would be necessary for u
building such as the Tourist hotel was NJ

GETS
A LIFE TERM

CHICAGO, April 2O.4-Emil Roeslli, was
found guilty this morning OF the murder OF
Bauder, and sentenced to life imprison
ment lie is the fourth member of the
car barn murderers gang.
Roeslli received his sentence smiling.
Both he and his counsel and his family
appeared relieved that he was not to hang.
The jurors claimed it had not been made
clear that Roesli actually fired the bullet
that killed Bauder.
In the trial, Marx swore that he fired
the shot and that, while he intended to
kill Roesld. who was in disfavor with the
car barn murderers, he accidentally killed
Bauder, who was sitting at table in a
saloon.
