MUST RESIGN If THEY MARRY.
Uncle Sam Takes Hand in Seattle
Love Affair.

SEATTLE, April 14.-Edward l..
Pangburn, chief clerk in the local
United States engineers office, cannot
marry Miss Aida Woolsey, a stenog-
rapher in the same office, unless one
of them resigns. The civil service
commission of the engineer department
of the army has made this ruling, &C
cording to a dispatch received from
Washington. The war department says
that the marriage and the consequent
fact that Mrs Pangburn would have
to serve under Mr.. Pangburn in the
same office would make discipline hard
to maintain. 1t is probable that the
young woman will resign. Pangburn
states that the marriage will come off,
and that the United States of Amer
lean will not be embarrassed in the
matter in the slightest degree.

COLONEL DESMOND HAS A BRIL-.
LIANT SCHEME AS RESULT
OF VISIT TO Valley
Says WalIa WaIIa and Yakima Valleys
Offer Excellent inducements to
Young Men

Il Colonel w. M. Desmond, for ten
years United States marshal at Clin-
ton, Iowa, is arranging to bring a large
number of young men from his state
to Walla Walla and North Yakima to
settle. Colonel Desmound, who is now
on the sound, has just lately concluded
"a trip through the eastern part of the
state, including Wa1Ia Walla county,
and ne has decided that no places in
the west offers such inducements to
the young man as do the Walla Walla
and the Yakima country.
Most of the young men are sons of
well-to-do farmers and will come well
supplied with funds with which to en-
gage in farming or some line of bus
mess as the opportunity presents it
self. Colonel Desmond was surprised
to find good wheat land selling for
$50 an acre and irrigated lands from
$3.50 to $500 an acre. Back in Iowa
the average price for good wheat and
corn land ranges from SIS to $3.50 ar
acre. The colonel will return to Iowa
within a few weeks to arrange for, the
first shipment of Iowans to the fal

MERCHANTS OF SPOKANE AND
SURROUNDING COUNTRY TO
GET TOGETHER
Hold Convention in the Near Future
The WaIIa WaIIa Merchants
Will Be Asked to Attend

Walla Walla merchants are to he
invited to attend a convention of Spo-
kane and surrounding contry mer-
chants to be held in Spokane within a
short time for the purpose of devils
ing ways and means of successfully
combating the big eastern mail order
houses. The request for a convention
of the kind it is proposed to hold came
from a number of country merchants.
who are beginning to feel the strain
of competition with mail order houses.
and it is proposed to evolve some
scheme to successfully combat the in
roads the eastern concerns make on
the country merchants business.
The complaint is made in behalf of
the dealers in the small towns that
they take the farmers produce in ex-
change for goods, and find a market
for the same, and that in many cases
the dealer is obliged to extend credit
to his customers; and that when the
customer has ready cash he sends it
to some eastern mail order house for
an invoice of goods which he has Sc
lected from some catalogue. The
dealers feel that their customer should
reciprOcate when they have some ready
money by spending it at home.

REV. THOMS is UNDER FIRE.
Accused of EIoping With Married
Woman i'm 1886.

BELLINGHAM, April III. c.
ThOms, general superintendent of the
Anti-SaloOn league of the state, has
been under the espionage of the other
officers of the league owing to the
circulation of reports that reflect on
his character. The investigation has
avenue has been guarded to keep the
matter from gaining publicity. Effort
has been made to probe the affair to
the core, and as the limelight of in
vestigation was thrown upon the ca
reer of the man in charge of the af-
fairs of that organization, the subject
it is said, has become more serious.
The charges made are: THAT DR.
J. G. Thoms, in 1886, went as pastor of
the First Baptist church to Palmyra
N. Y; that he was a single man and
boarded in a family the husband of
which was a number of years older
than his wife; that an undue intima-
cy sprung up between Dr. Thoms and
the wife; that evidence was obtained
of this beyond doubt, and Dr. ThOms
was forced to resign his pulpit; that
he left Palmyra and was soon follow
ed by the wife in the case; that these
two lived together as man and wife,
although no divorce was ever obtained;
that the husband died some four years
ago; that the woman DR.. Tnoms now
lives with is the same woman who
followed him from Palmyra; and that
it is not known whether or not they
have ever been married; it is alleged
that they could not have been legally
married previous to the death of the
husband"
1t is stated that Rev. J. w. Frescoln,
of this city, who is lecturing for the
Anti-Saloon league of Washington,
and Mr.. Balm, an attorney for the
league, have obtained letters from the
pastor VINO succeeded DR.. Thoms at
Palmyra, from the daughter of the
woman; this daughter being one of
the three children deserted by the
present Mrs. Thoms, when she left
home in 1886.
DR.. Thoms, it is alleged, was accus-
ed of the charge. He denied it and
then demanded the resignation of Mr..
Frescoln and Mr.. Balm. The matter
is now before the trustees of the Anti
Saloon league for settlement.

FIGHTING OXEN.
The HottentOts Trained Cattle tt
Charge Riderless Into Battle.

The Hottentots Trained Cattle to
Charge Riderless Into Battle.
When the Dutch first settled at the
Cape they found that the original Hot
tentots owned large herds Of cattle,
which they regularly rode and trained
to act as guardians Of their other cat
tie and their camps. So admirably were
these animals trained that they used
to charge before the tribesmen In bat
tie, apparently without riders, though
there may have been mounted leaders.
An old writer named Kolben says:
Every Hottentot army is provided
with large troop Of these war oxen,
which permit themselves to be govern
ed without trouble and which their
leaders let loose at the appointed mo-
ment. The instant they are set free
they throw themselves with impetuos-
ity upon the opposite army. They
strike with their horns, they kick, they
rip up and trample beneath their feet
all that opposes them. They plunge
with fury into the midst of the ranks
and thus prepare an easy victory. The
manner in which these oxen are train
ed and disciplined certainly does great
honor to the talent Of this people"

How to Mix, Work and Shape IL t.

For flaky pastry sift together thres
and half cups Of sifted -four, half q
teaspoonful of baking powder and q
teaspOOnful of salt Thoroughly work
in half cup Of lard, then moisten with
half cup Of very cold water. Turn on
to Toured board and roll into thin
oblong. Wash half a cup Of butter In
cold water and work until smooth, pat
ting out all the water; then shape into
one-third the size Of the pastry, laying
it in the middle and folding one side
evenly over it and the other side on top
thus: Fold one end over and the other
end under the butter, pat gently to
press out any air bubbles, then roll in
to Oblong strip. Fold again evenly to
make three layers, turn half round and
roll again. Repeat the folding and roll
ing twice more, and the pastry Is ready
for use. This process sounds tedious,
but really is very simple. The paste
should be soft enough to roll easily, but
not be sticky.
Pastry should not be rolled back and
forth. Instead, long continuous mo-
ton from the point nearest the operator
to the other side should be used, press
ing lightly with the rolling pin. To
shape it use a sweeping motion to the
side. but always lift the rolling pin
and start in again at the point near

DOrOthy's Dictionary.

Dorothy had driven half the house
hold wild by her attempts to discover
the meaning of a word. At last her
mother, in despair, took down the big
unabridged dictionary and showed 1t
to her. The next day Dorothy was In
a strange house and got into an argu-
ment with the youths Of the place over
the meaning Of another word. To con-
vince her that they were right they
pulled out small school dictionary and
showed her the definition.
But if they expected Dorothy to be
impressed they were bitterly mistaken.
HUH said she, wrinkling up her
nose and mouth in highly insulting
and sarcastic manner. THAT dickshon-
cry don't count. That's only one OF
those old bridge dickshoneries. Wait
till yor come to my house, and I'll show
you I'm right with our big unoridged
one"
