IMPORTANT NEWS OF week

With it's forces crumbling under
the pressure of public opinion and de-
feat staring it in the face, the gang"
in Philadelphia surrendered. The
"gas grab" has been abandoned by
it's sponsors. The United Gas I'm
provement company formally with
drew its offer to advance the city
| $25,000,000 in return for control of
the municipal lighting plant. This
action followed conference between
Israel w. Durham, the republican
boss Messrs. McNichol and Seger
his associates in the gas project, and
President Thomas Dolan of the United
Gas Improvement company. Previous
to this meeting it was announced that
Select Councilman James E. Walsh,
of the Thirty-eighth ward had changed
front and would support the mayors
veto of the gas lease ordinance. With
this recruit Mayor Weaver lacked
only seven votes OF the number neces-
sary to sustain his veto. President
Dolan then sent letter to Pres. Rams
ley of the select council and President
McCurdy of the common council an
nouncing the withdrawal of the gas
company's proposition.
The Japanese fleet, Admiral Togo
commanding, attacked the Russian
fleet, commanded by Admiral Rojest-.
vensky, near Tsu island in the straits
bewteen Japan and Korea last Sat-
urday, Sunday and Monday. Twenty
Russian warships, including practi-
cally all the larger vessels, were either
destroyed or disabled by gunfire and
torpedo attack. 1t is now presumed
that the Japanese employed submarine
boats in the battle. Several light
Russian vessels escaped to Vladivo-
stOk, where their commanders report
ed that two Japanese battleships were
sunk and two cruisers disabled. They
also claimed that the Russians had
sunk half of the Japanese torpedo
boats and destroyers. Two Russian
admirals, Nebogatoff and Voelkers-
sham, were captured. The fate of Adj
miral Rojestvensky is in doubt. It
is estimated that 5000 Russians lost
their lives in the battle and that
5000 were captured. The battle is

MISS CHERRY FORMERLY
OF YAKIMA COUNTY
Seattle Woman Who Has Figured in
an Engagement Scandal For
merly Lived Here.

The Seattle papers have been full
lately of controversy between a
prominent Chicago physician and a
Miss Harriet Louie Cherry, who is
in fact Miss Harriet Louie Henry,
over an engagement which the doc
tor claims was bona fide. The Chi
cago doctor says he met Miss Cherry
in Seattle last February, and fell In
love with her at first sight. They
were shortly after engaged to be
married, and the doctor bought her
diamond ring for which he paid
$160. He also is said to have blown
himself for a beautiful wedding gown
for his prospective bride, and Law
ished upon her other wealth to the
extent Of some $500. He claims that
he afterwards discovered that she
was playing him for a sucker. and he
at once went to Seattle to break the
engagement anu secure the many
presents he had given her.
This was greater task than the
Chicago doctor had reckoLed upon.

Treat the Farm Hand Well.

An exchange offers the following
wholesome advice to farmers who en-
ploy help upon their farms: Keep
on the right side OF your hired man.
Treat him well SO long as he is in
your employ, and II he does not de-
serve good treatment, or respond to
it. do not keep him. A good hired
man will appreciate good usage and
kind favors, and pay for them by the
extra amount and better quality OF
his services. 1t Is courtesy to treat
all men decently. In the case of your
hired man 1t is also policy and econ
Omy. Be liberal with him, not only
at the table, but give him occasionally
spare day for amusement and re-
creation. Amy intelligent hired man
will work harder and perform his
labor better when he feels that his
employer appreciates well doing"

of October the plant would be in op-

of October the plant would be in op-
Grafton.
The completed plant will cost at
least $4,000, and it may run close
to the $4,000 mark. A. B. Whit
son, former manager Of the light and
water company here is to be the resi-
dent manager of the company. He
gave general satisfaction as manager
OF the company mentioned, and
no doubt is as well fitted for the du-
ties of the new position as any man
in the city.
One feature of the establishment
of gas plant which will interest in
no small measure the citizens of this
place is the fact that its advent is
very likely to cause much cheaper
rate on light. The new company is
going to charge Tor its gas at the
rate of less than 81 per thousand
cubic feet. The local light company
is now getting 50 for light that is
said to be equivalent to that furnished
in 1000 cubic feet Of gas, and there
is likely, for this reason to be a
little friendly competition between
the two companies, and this compe-
tition will no doubt result in a bene-
fit to the man who foots the light
bills.
Mr.. Hunter stated that 1t had not
yet been decided which kind Of gas
would be manufactured, acetylene or
coal gas; the latter he thought. how
ever. would eventually be the choice.
1t is the intention of the company
to lay their pipes in the alleys Of the
city wherever this is possible. The
site has not yet been selected for the
factory, but the company is trying
to get suitable location near the
railroad track, in order to have ac-
cess to the main line. Most of their
coal will be secured from Roslyn.
Several schemes have been inaug-
urated looking to the construction
and operation of gas plant in this
city, but until the present project
appeared on the horizon none OF them
came any where near realization.
The Yakima Improvement Com
pany's project promises to be car
ried through, and it is certain that
its progress will be watched with q
great deal Of interest by North Yak
lima people.

covering the ring, but by that time
the police had been summoned, and
the doctor was arrested upon the re-
quest of Miss Cherry.
The interest that the people of this
section will have in the affair comes
from the fact that Miss Cherry was
former resident of this valley, anil
lived in the Natchez. She was a
very handsome woman. About twelve
years ago she became the wife OF a
we'll known Yakima county man,
Harlie Taylor. They were divorced
here about seven years ago, and since
that time Miss Cherry has been living
in Seattle. Mr.. Taylor was asked by
Herald reporter II the above facts
were true, and said that they were.
He also said that his former wife
was fine woman in many respects.
and a good woman while he knew
her.
Il think she married a man In Sc
attic by the name of Henry" Mr.
Taylor said, land don't believe she
has yet secured divorce from him"
This assumption is proven to be true
by statement made by the woman
herself to reporter for one of the
Seattle papers. to the effect that her
real name was Henry, since she had
not yet obtained q divorce from her
last husband.

70 know, however. that soldiers who

10 know that those dying impeni-

St. Joseph,s Eeast in OGDEN.

From the early morning service of
the dear old saint of Israel even to the
last sweet strains of the vesper hymn,
the feast of st. Joseph was celebrated
With loving reverence in the church
sacred to his name in our city. Edify-
ing beyond expression was the sight at
the first Mass, when the Children OF
Mary received Holy Communion in a,
Dody preparatory to a reception at the
academy in the afternoon. Then tfir-
teen young hearts pledged themselves
TO honor in a special manner Mary I'm
maculate and promote devotion to that
tender Queen.
Fervent exhortations from Rev. Fa-
ther Cushnahan spoke the tender zeal
and sodcitude which he ever manifests
for the members of his congregation,
and seemed to find a responsive chord
IN the hearts of all. At 4 p. M the Ger
emony of bestowing the badge and med
al of Mary Immaculate took place.
During the singing of Ave Maria Ste1-
Ia the aspirants circled themselves
around the altar and through Miss
Kathleen Kane expressed their desire
TO be received into the society and
vowed their devotion and fidelity to
the Queen of Heaven.
Benediction of the Blessed Sacra-
ment concluded the touching ceremony.
and as the final notes of the "Tantum
Ergo" died away, all felt that St. Jo-
seph was still filing the office intrusted
TO him at Nazareth, leading souls to
God through the sweet persuasive in
fuence of Mary.

AS result of a non-Catholic mission
given by the Ohio Apostolate in ST
Francis lie Sales church on East Wal
nut Hill, one of the most fashionable
OF Cincinnati's residential sections,
there were twenty-five converts re-
ceived into the church, two of whom
were Christian Scientists. OF the
others there were Episcopalians, Cam
bellies, Methodists, Lutherans, Presby-
terians and Baptists. The following in
cfdent in connection with this mission
is related i'll the Catholic Universe:
An interested listener throughout
the week was Mrs. Webb sister of the
late supreme judge, Stanley Mathews,
herself a convert to the faith. In a
conversation with the missionary she
told of a conversation held in her pres
ence some years ago on board a trans
Atlantic steamer. A Scottish Protest
ant forced him sonpany upon a Gull
tured Brahmin, returning from the Chi
cago parliament of religions. After
trying Vdinly to interest the Buddhist
priest in a scheme for making money,

must admit that our Presbyterian mis-
sionaries are effecting a great deal of
good in India. Every traveller seems
willing to concede that" do you wish
