Mr. Wilbur S. Yearsley of Colfax was

ston, Asotin and Cloverland country
with a view of investing. Mr. Yearsley
Is one of the best known realty dealers
in the Palouse country and is associate
ed with d. T. Ham of Spokane in the
Palouse Land Co. Mr.. Yearsley is

Of the Inland Empire and was one of
the original promoters OF the Spokane
& Moscow electric line project which
Is now in the hands of Jay p. Graves
and associates. In speaking OF the pro-
| iect Mr.. Yearsley said: "The building
of the line between Spokane and Mos
COW is now an assured fact and when

ing propositions of this nature on the
coast. 1t WILL when completed be a
great boon to the farmers of the Pa :
louise country as we'll as for the mer-
chants i'm the small towns that the line
will touch. AS an investment, the men
behind the project is sufficient guar
antee that the line will be placed on a
paying basis as soon as in operation
There are many good features In con-
nection with the building of the line
aside from the value II will be to the
farmers in shipping their produce
cheaply to market, and that is that u
will have IA tendancy TO reduce freigh
rates and the passenger rates will b
so adjusted as to be reasonable enough
for anyone to travel more extensively
When asked If it were possible tina
the promoters of the project contem

for the line to be constructed any fur

U.D.c. Entertainment.

The q. D. c. entertainment, son
the Pike, at the Eagles Hall Thurs
day night was one Of the most anus
ing and altogether creditable amateur
performances ever seen in Lexington.
The satisfaction OF the visitors was
sometimes expressed in laughter so
riotous and comment so noisy as to
interfere with the proper performance
OF the several attractions The atmos-
phere of the Pike was recognized as
soon as the visitor reached the land
ing and the noisy barkers and merry
making pikers absorbed the new
conner and made him Par et similis at
once.
The two sides and end OF the large
Eagles Hall were lined with separate
ATTRACTIONS aud refectories. The
first was the Irish Village, in which
the entertainment consisted Of music,
recitatlons and dancing. The villag-
ers were costumed, The Old Planta-
tion was another and very popular.
Ten black face artists amused their
patrons with songs aud jokes Then
/ the Temple Of Palmlstry where the
visitor might have his fortune told
The Temple Of Mirth, containing the
only female mummy, and Palals de
Costume, where were to be seen a
number of young ladies dressed in the
ultra styles of many ages and coun.
tries. Fair Japan was one Of the
favorites Of the pike. The booth was
elaboratelY decorated with japanese
decorations collected from many of
the homes in this city. The per-
formers we're in costume.
The Indian Village was one Of the
most carefully gotten up shows Of the
pike. Articles Of Indian handiwork
and Of daily use abounded about the
camp. The make up Of the Indians
was most perfect.

Complimentary to supt. Phillips.

Sweet Springs Herald
In the closing exercises of our Sweet
Springs Public school, the beginning
of the end came on Easter Sunday,
when Superintendent G. A. Phillips,
of Lexington, addressed the gradual
ing class.
Certainly our Professor Norvell knew
what he was about when he secured
the man for the baccalaurate address.
Prot. Philips proved himself to be al
once wise and witty, plain and cultured,
profound and eloquent--not one OF
these adjeciives is misplaced, aud even
more could be added. His theme was
"The Problem OF Life, and the great
audience that literally filled the
Christian church listened with closes
attention throughout. The genera
sentiment was expressed in a wish tha
the address might have been heard b.
all the people, especially by tn,
younger generation, of this community
The loss was theirs, and it was
serious one.

BANK FAILURE AT wAyERLY.
Loss Probably Exceeds the Capital

was closed Tuesday by order of Sec

The cashier, Eugene q. Lewis, is
defaulter to an amount not yet

Secretary of State Swanger was in
Lexington Wednesday on his way to
Waverly. He says that Examiner
W. NJ. Wade made an examination Of
the bank April 81, when the books
showed $50 900 due from banks and
bankers. The report was sent to the
Secretary of States office, aud accord
ing to custom this item was iCyesti-

showing that no such reserve was

addition to the s3S, 900 loss by the

Art Reception.

Whose mighty heart pours out love
and light aud life. "
Perhaps never in the history Of
Lexington, has there been, from one
person, a more magnificent exhibition
of oil, water color, pastel and china
painting, than that presented by
Miss Lillian Moorehead in the Lexing-
ton college parlOrs on Monday after
noon May 1st, and ia homer of whose
graduation a reception was held.
Nature without seemed fttingly
attuned to the brilliant display of
"her reflection" within.
AS the guests arrived they were
received and warmly welcomed by
Mrs. Moorehead, Mrs. White, Mrs.
Cook, Miss Gorin and Miss Lillian
MOorehead, who we're charmingly and
elaborately attired for the occasion.
Soon the parlors were thonged with
visitors, engaged in inspecting and
examining the different features Of
the various productions exhibited.
In pastel, we're several landscapes,
marine and other stories told from
nature. The rich cluster of grapes
in this work was much admired.
Among the china pieces probably the
coffee set, handsomely tinted in blue,
ornamented with raised pastel work
and delicatelY shaded roses was the
most valuable, and was a work Of
exquisite merit. Three large vases
also deserve honorable mention.
A little to the left on china tile was
represented "The wooing Of Cupid,
and one was at once lost in admiTa
tion, and in the sentiment of the
story. On the right, suspended above
large punches Of roses, Easter lilies
and carnations-gifts of her macy
friends were the Studies of Still
Life, both In water colors and oils
So truly was "the mirror" held up tt
nature that the fragrance Of the on

color of the other.
Many words of praise, adulatio
and congratulations were extended +

pleasure of being present. The seen
was pretty one. AS you entere
the parlor the eye instantly fastene
itself upon a large painting in oil
"..eo and Leonora"framed to represen
cage where the "King Of the Forest
behind the iron bars, seems to
watching the other creations of tn
painter as faithfully guarding theI
as he does the sleeping mate by h
side, so real and lite.like is the seer
presented. Although her other pr
ductions show marks of excellence an
merit, this probably is her maste
piece.
Iced drinks were served by Il
other members of the graduatir
class during the afternoon.

ented daughter of Mr. and Mrs. ia
