AMERICAN WRITER'S LACKING.

Complaint That Good Work 70 In Demand
While tho Quality Is Poor.
There Is an increasing demand for
good American fiction. With oil due
respect to the galaxy Of bright writere
In Great Britain who have achieved
such prominence here during the last
few years, IL is, nevertheless, q fact
that publishers are looking eagerly for
novels and novelettes dealing with
American people and scenes. Said one

needless to say that there Is q far
greater demand for American novels
than for those written about characs

adnys, or he might not be hopeful.
There are young men and young women
scattered through newspaper offices
here and there who are capable Of de-
veloping into novelists; but they have
no chance, while on morning papers, at
least. The average reporter goes to
work at noon, and then until midnight,
or nm hour later, he or she is Fastening
from one point to another, oftentimcs
unable to cat regularly or to secure
sufficient sleep. BY the time the after
noon assignment is covered and the
''story" written the reporter has
chance to breathe sometimes; and then
when he reaches the Office with his
evening assignment covered, provided
he has but one, he sits down and writes
when too often he is greatly fatigued.
At midnight, or one or two o'clock IN
the morning, he goes home. Is it rea.
sonablc to expect man or woman
after such siege to write fiction? How
can it be done? Leaving entirely aside
the fact that newspaper work, with it's
plain statement of events. precludes
the development OF thought and lit

Welded Twenty Years.

Frank D. Richardson and Efie
Ringer, eldest daughter of Hon. L.
M. Ringer and wife, were married
at Almota, Washington, on Janu-
airy Ist, 1884.
Yesterday marked the Goth ami
versary of the happy occasion, and
it was duly celebrated at their home
just east oftown, last evening, when
number of relatives and friends
gathered to wish the couple many
more years of conjugal bliss.
The manly groom and his blush
ing bride were the recipients of nu-
merous gifts in china.

THE refusal of the State Land
Commissioner to allow the educa-
tional institutions for the deaf and
dumb, blind, and incorrigible to be
robbed of onehalf of their land en-
dowment in the interests of the un-
iversity should be commended. The
latter institution should receive adj
'equate support, but it should not
rob the elemosynary and reforma-
tory institutions to secure that sup
port. 1t is to be hoped that the at
torney general will ably defend the
commissioner in the mandamus suit
against the latter now pending.

Miss Ada Frances Duncan, of

Spokane, were married at the home
of the brides cousin, Mrs. d. w.
Hannah, at Moscow, at noon on
Tuesday, Dec. goth.
The ceremony was witnessed by
a small party of friends of the con-
tracing parties, who partook of the
wedding breakfast and escorted the
bride and groom to the o. R. & N.

parted for Spokane, where they will
make their home.

THAT appalling loss of life in the
Chicago theatre fire is one of those
catastrophies that are apt to occur
at any time, and for the prevention
of which there seems to be no rem
'edy. Of course it's easy to tell
how it might have been warded off,
or how many of the victims could
have escaped had this, that or the
other thing been done. But SO long
as time lasts buildings will burn
others collapse; ships will sink, or
some unforeseen disaster occur, with
its resultant loss of precious lives.
1t is one of the penalties of human
life and of present-day civilization.

Yesterday morning, at the resi-.
dence of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Wag-
ner, on Paradise street, Rev. DR..
Hays performed the ceremony that
made Miss Marie Peterson the bride
of Mr. Jack Hurley. The nuptial
knot was tied TT 8. 80 o'clock, in the
presence of a few friends, and was
followed by a wedding breakfast
served by Mrs. Wagner.
The bridal couple left on the
Northern Pacific train at 1850 for
Spokane, on brief bridal trip, and
later will go to Moscow, where they
will make their home. The bride,
who has resided in Pullman from
early childhood, has for a number
of years past been the efficient and
capable operator of the telephone
exchange, and her many friends
shower their best wishes upon the
couple. Mr.. Hurley is an employee
of the Northern Pacific, making his
headquarters at Moscow, although
his many visits to Pullman have
made him numerous friends.
The HERALD offers congratuIa.
tons and best wishes.

:" I am well now and
enjoying better health
than ever before in
my whole life"

That is the statement of woman who
had never been we'll until she was made
well by the use of DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. There are a great many
other women in like case They have
always been sufferers from disease. They
have never known the JOY of perfect
health.
For all such women DIR. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription holds out the pros
pect of perfect and permanent health, by
the cure of the womanly diseases which
weaken women. 1t establishes regular
ity, dries weakening drains, heals infam-
nation and liberation, and cures female
weakness. 1t makes weak women strong
and sick women we'll.
"It gives me pleasure to let you know of the
great benefit received from DR.. Pierce's medi-
cines and the advice which you so kindly sent, I"
writes Mrs BERTHE Parker OF Bonham, Fanniu
Co, Texas: III took your Favorite Prescrip-
ton Golden Medical Discovery and Pleasant
Pellets and followed your advice regarding the
Lotion Tablets and am cured had been
treated by different doctors and spent one hun
dred dollars for treatment and medicine, but
received very little relief have only spent
seventeen dollars and fifty cents for your fnedi-
cine and it has cured me in three or four months
of liberation and falling of uterus. I suffered
severe misery in my back, also irregular periods.
Had bearing-down in lower portion of body and
great pain all through my body. Pain in uterus
was very severe. Had srrothering spells, breath
was very short all the time had pain in stomach,
pain in my thighs, pain in breast also between
my shoulders. Bowels constipated I am well

Authority to Issue a Writ
of Habeas C0rpus.

The substance Of the opinion Is As fol-
lows:
THE Federal courts and Judges have the
authority under the acts OF Congress to
discharge prisoners restrained Of their
liberty in violation OF the Constitution Of
the United States under Judgements of
the State courts. but the law of the land,
which has been established by repeated
decisions Of the Supreme Court Is that
this power should not be exercised where
the Judgement OF the State courts. under
which the prisoner Is confined. is review
able by writ of error or appeal; but in
such cases the petitioner should be put to
that remedy, save in exceptional cases,
such as those in which the prisoner Is con-
fned for an act done or omitted by him
under the Constitution or laws of the ma
ton pursuance Of its authority or under
the laws and authority Of a foreign gov
errrnent, Of which he Is a subject"
