John L. Smith, manager of the
live stock department of the Hazel
wood Creamery company, spent two
days in Pullman recently. Mr.. Smith
is looking after the business of his
firm, which has branch creameries
throughout this section. He states that
the Hazelwood company will have a
number of milking machines in opera
tion at their farm near Spokane, about
December 18th. These will be the first
machines of the kind introduced in this
section. Dairymen in this section are
anxiously waiting to learn the result
of the experiment, and if the machines
prove successful, as Mr.. Smith says
they have in the east, it is likely many
of them will be installed throughout
this section, as the labor problem is
one of the hardest which dariymen
have to contend with in the North
west.
Manager Cosgrove, in advance of
the Palmatier sisters, musical organ
iaztion of note, was here Tuesday ar
ranging for the appearance of the
company on January End, at the audi
torium. The entertainment will be
given under the auspices of the local
X. of P. lodge, and will consist of
most excellent program by the ladies'
orchestra, solos, duets and quartettes,
with various instruments with which
the ladies are artists of considerable
renown. A reader and monologist also
appears on the program. Mr.. Cos
grove will be remembered by Pullman
ties as having brought the we'll known
Cosgrove family and other musical at
fractions here in years past.
John Kittering, of Remington,
Ind, has purchased the J. A. Ball

MORE ELECTRIC
LIGHT SCHEMES
Codd & Mckenzie, of Colfax,
Make Counter Proposition for
Furnishing Juice

The question of electric current for
lighting and power purposes has been
further complicated, although prob
ably brought nearer definite conclus-
ion, by counter proposition made the
city by Codd & Mckenzie, of Colfax,
which the council is now considering
along with the Shield proposition.
At the last meeting of the council
M. j. Shields, of Moscow, was here to
watch the progress of his request for
permission to enter the city with his
line, but when it came to the point
where the ordinance granting him the
right to erect poles and string wires
in the city was up for second reading
and action an ordinance prepared by
the Colfax parties, granting them a
franchise, was sprung, and the cleo
trio light committee will now be kept
busy till the next meeting digesting
the salient features of the two pro-
posals.
The Shields plan was that he be
granted the privilege of bringing the
current to Pullman, when he would
sell it in the open market for power
and light, the rates to adjust them
selves according to the law of supply
and demand The Colfax parties
name the maximum rates they will
charge for current, although they are
somewhat indefinite as regards the
supplying of current for power. They
also agree to buy the present city
plant, if the city wishes to sell, at a
value to be determined by Prof. Car
penter Mr.. Shields, who was present
at the council meeting, met the Colfax
propositions by agreeing to buy or
lcdS6 lllS HiuHlSlPai PlohI, " oCiA SoI =
rent to the city, the latter to retain
control of the plant, or Ito meet any
other proposition that might be ad-
vanced.
1t is likely that from the present
assortment of propositions and coun-
ter propositions, the council will be
able to make a deal advantageous to
the city, that we may in few
months have an adequate supply of
electricity.
The present system, being supplied
by special arrangement with the col
lege, and the supply being much under
the demand, it is essential that the
problem be solved as readily as posi-
BILE. The college is not anxious to
continue the present arrangement, as
the growing needs of the institution
for current require about all it can
supply, and the extension of the city
system has been out of the question
for some mnths past.

and takes a seat in a corner where
he is comparatively safe from observa-
ton, says the New York Press. The
bartender, without asking questions,
carries to him a cigar and a drink
If whisky, and the old gentleman
smokes and sips in apparent content
ment. Just before the cigar is fin
ished he takes another drink, Then he
walks slowly down to Riverside drive
and sits in a shady spot until lunch
time, when he enters a fine mansion
near by and is seer no more until the
following morning.
That's a funny case" said the bar
tender, as the old gentleman went out
after his customary cigar and drinks.
Hes a retired banker and lives in
luxury. He has a large family and
they have everything they wish for.
But the old man is looked upon as a
sort of necessary evil about the house.
He is not permitted to smoke in the
house, and as for drinking-why, any
member of the family would have a fit
If they saw anything of an alcoholic
nature on the premises.
Now that he has made the money
which supports them, they relegate the
old mar to the rear, and he is at that
age where he hasn't spirit to rebel. So
he in here every day and
'sneaks' his drink and smoke and goes
back home contented. Amt this n

At last he found a leather cord tied
about the mans neck from which dan
gled a bright gold object. 1t proved
to be a small seal ring with a peculiar
device engraven upon its surface.
Pompon carefully placed this about
his own neck. then, turning to the
man again, he seized him by the
shoulders and dragged him to the floor
and along it till he reached the hearth.
He halted a moment and listened; no
sound from above stairs; the stertor-
GUS breathing of his victim and the
rustling Of the leaves on the huge vine
above the doorway outside were the
only sounds audible. Once more pry-
ing up the brick, and pulling The iron
ring, he pressed down cue end of the
stone and the empty cavity lay before
him and his prey. With considerable
difficulty he managed to get the mans
body into the hole beneath the stone.
He then stopped another moment in
his work to look down upon his
enemy's form. His revengeful medi~
tation was soon interrupted by the
sound of shutting footsteps descending
the stair. He must hasten, complete
hiH work, and flee. So after one more

he hastily swung the stone back into
place, leaving his enemy buried be-

klef ashes around so as to obliterato

table and bench from the inner door,
and was gone.

Pa was calm. and did not fly off the
handle, but he just said, kindly:
Mother, you have vague ideas of the
duties of the owners of a circus. The
owners hire performers to do stunts,
and break their necks, while We man
age them, and take in the shekels
from the Reubens who come into town
on circus day. We proprietors touch

mails do the rest. | shall be a director

delightful pleasure as Of one who rolls
