WHILE ATTEMPTING TO STEAL
RIDE WAS DRAGGED BY NO.
YESTERDAY.
Spied by Constable Peterson Who
Called to Passengers to Pull
Air Rope.
Air Rope.

The presence of mind displayed by
Constable Nels Peterson in calling to
passengers on the rear end of the
train to pull the air rope saved T. A.
McGivern, painter, from being ground
to pieces beneath passenger train No.
at the o. r. & N. depot yesterday.
McGivern was without funds and
wanted to get to Athena where his
wife is lying dangerously i'll. His re-
quest for free passage was refused
by the conductor and as the train pull
ed out McGivern threw himself under
one of the coaches and attempted to
swing himself upon the break beams.
The train lad gained such momentum
that he was unable to draw himself
free of the ground and he was being
jerked along the roadbed when spied
by Constable Peterson.
Realizing that McGivern was in
deadly danger the constable attempt
ed to board the train, but the vestibule
doors had been closed and his efforts
were unsuccessful. AS the train pass
ed MIN, the constable called to pas
sengers on the rear platform to pull
the air rope. The train was stopped
and McGivern was hauled from be-
meath the trucks, badly bruised about
the head and shoulders where ne had
come in contact with the ties. He was
badly frightened and shook like a leaf.
He was taken to nearby saloon and
washed up. Later he visited a physi-
clan and mad his wounds dressed.

ton,

Gavin Hamilton, formerly in the
dairy business in Walla Walla, is in
the city from Kennewick, where he is
engaged in the seed and commission
business
"Kennewick is rapidly forging to the
front as one Of the best berry and
fruit regions in the northwest" Mr.
Hamilton said this morning. THE
strawberry crop harvested and mar
keted in that section was something
enormous this year. The new canal
is furnishing ample water for all pur-
poses, but it will be necessary to con-
struct a new ditch within a short time
The present ditch is too narrow for
the amount of water flowing through
it and the loose soil is continually
washing out and causing leaks. AS
soon as this is remedied the water
question will be settled for all time
to come. The water has been turned
off for several days in order to re-
pair breaks

This was circus day in Walla Walla
and the people of southeastern Wash

itv Of witnessing the biggest circus

u,as the Barnum & Bailey show, which
is without doubt the greatest one in
tho world. The thousands of people
who attended the performance this af-

and everyone that was there says it
4 was the best they ever witnessed. The
est and it was amazing to see how the
immense crowd was handled this after
noon. The seating arrangement in the
big tent was the very best and every
person was enabled to witness the big
performance without the least particle
if difficulty
Hundreds of people came to Walla
Walla early this morning on the spe-
cial excursion trains that were run
on TIE Q. r. & \. from Dayton and
Pendeton and intermediate points
and augmented by the vast thorongs
from the country and the people of the
city. Walla Walla never saw such a
crowd of circus goers in the memory
of the oldest inhabitant."

The circus arrived yesterday after
noon from Spokane over the 0. r. &

Northern Pacific to that road. Thou

ness the great feat of unloading the
trains and the work of erecting the
huge tents that cover a greater por-
ton of the big fat between the O..
R. & n. depot and the penitentiary
grounds. The young boys were there
ready to carry water to the elephant
or do numerous other small jobs in
order to gain admission to the show.
The first train arrived shortly after
O'clock and the other three came in at
different intervals up to $3.50. AS fast
as enc train arrived it was unloaded
and by o'clock in the evening every
stitch of canvas was up and the in
terror arranged for the opening of the
show this afternoon.

patronized and those who entered say
they everything advertised was given.
At l o'clock the entrance to the main

Your Attention.

1t is impossible for any reader
of the Wageworker to overlook
the two-page advertisement of the
Armstrong Clothing company in
this issue, but just the same we
stop the press long enough to in
sert this notice calling your at
tention to it.
This latter Inventory sale is
one OF the greatest of the great
bargain offerings ever made by
this popular firm. and the bar
gains are worth going miles to
secure. The Armstrong Cloth
ing company has always made
good on its advertising, and the
splendid bargains offered now will
be eagerly sought for by the wise
buyers of clothing 1t is by keep
ing faith with the people that this
firm has been able to build up a
business second to none other in
the entire west. and today the
store carries as fine and large a
stock of gaads as any retail
clothing store between the Mis-
sissippi river and the Pacific
coast.
One is always assured OF coer-
teous treatment at this popular
store, and the customer may al
ways rest assured of one thing
whatever is sold, is sold strictly
on its merits without misrcpre-
sentation in any way, shape or
manner. Long years of business
in Lincoln has enabled Manager
Armstrong to accurately guage
the wants of tke public and the

tape all to pieces. 1t took him
about ten seconds to do it after

For many years soldiers wild
ows and orphans living near
Schuylkill arsenal, Philadelphia,
have been given the york OF max
ing the trousers furnished to
Uncle Sans soldiers. Last Oc-
tober the war department figured
that it could save about $4,000 a
year by awarding the contract
for making the trousers to the
lowest bidders. The contract
was won by a sweat shop con-
tractor, but he will not make the
trousers. The widows sent del
egation to ashington and laid
the mater before the president.
He called UP the war department
and was told that under the cir
cumstances the contract had to
go to the lowest bidder. Red tape
stood in the way OF giving the
work to the soldiers widows and
orphans.

queried the president Tell with

And with his little old jackknife
he severed the red tape. The

for another job, and the soldiers

rily sewing away OH the $4,000

A committee is out and hard at

it is to their interests to employ

employers have already been con-
vinccd AS a result more union
drivers are at work than ever be-

boom to the drivers and they
have not been slow to take adj
vantage of it. The committee is
also visiting other unions and
urging the membership to remem-

In my judgment Massachusetts
made a good investment when 1t
gave financial encouragement to
our textile schools and our nauti-
cal training schools. ! believe
we should have similar schools
in other industries.
| would also suggest the advis-
ability of agricultural schools,
where practical knowledge of
horticulture. forestry and of the
animal industries shall be taught.
Small rural schools of this kind,
scattered throughout the state
and extensively conducted, would,
in my opinion, not only do much
to keep the country boys at home,
but. would cause our New Eng
land farms to become as produc-
i've and profitable as possible.
