DEATH OF ELSA ATEN.

Elsa Pearl, eldest daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. H. M. Aten, died at the
Aten home, two miles west of town,
Monday, August 21st, after an illness
of two weeks with typhoid fever.
Elsa was attacked by the dread dis
ease while at work in the Wawawai
orchards packing fruit, but was
! srougnt TO her home here and given
every possible care and attention, but
loving hands worked without avail, and
death released the soul from the suffer-
ing body Monday evening.
The deceased was born near Yer
mont, H., on October 9th, 1886, COM
ing to Pullman with the family four
years ago. Here she completed the
course of the public school, and en-
tered college. She was a member of
the Presbyterian church and was
greatly interested in the work of the
Christian Endeavor Society, in which
her loss will be keenly felt. She was
OF quiet and most amiable disposition,
making friends wherever she went,
and the family has the sympathy of
all in their deep affliction.
The funeral services were held Tues
day afternoon from the Presbyterian
church, the sermon being preached by
Rev. r. G. Sargent in the absence Of
the pastor. Six of Elsa's girl friends
from the Christian Endeavor Society,
acted as pail bearers, and the beauti-
full casket was banked in floral tributes
from sorrowing friends.

Parties at Moscow have built a
machine that they expect will make a
great saving for the Palouse farmer,
and greatly simplify harvesting opera
tions. 1t is a combined harvester,
built on a less extensive line than the
machine now in use, and it has been
demonstrated by the model built that
four horses can handle it and put the
wheat in the sack as cheaply as it is
now put in the shock by the binder
A successful machine of this nature
would be great thing for the Palouse
farmer, and we hope it will soon be in
successful operation.

HLGGARD GETS
FIVE YEAR Sentence
Fx-Hotel Clerk Pleads Guilty to
Embezzling $42 While Clerk
at Artesian Hotel.

sR Burl Haggard, the former clerk
~ the Artesian hotel in this city,
nleaded guilty Monday in the superior
court to embezzling $42 of the hotel
money! and Judge c. F. Miller, of
Datyon, who was holding court for
Judge Chadwick, sentenced him to five
years at Walla Walla.
Haggard's past unsavory record was
the cause of the stiff sentence imposed,
he having served one term in the Ore
gon state penitentiary, and being now
wanted in that state on number of
counts.
Haggard evidently expected his plea
Of guilty to get him off with an easier
sentence, as he raved with anger when
the Judge announced the term of his
service for the state.

LAD RAISES CHECK
and TROUBLE
Get Rich Quick Proposition Results
IN Disaster for Grover
Wickham.

Grover Wickham, aged sixteen
years, landed in the hands of the mar
shal Saturday through an attempt to
make easy money by raising"
check which had been given him by C.
A. Shank in payment of wages.
The lad had been working in the
harvest field, and check for So on one
of the banks was given him in pay
ment for his labor The boy stated
that a companion told him that an
easy way to make $50 would be to
raise the check, and that he pro-
ceeded to do SO by writing the word
fifty in front of the word "six"
and adding the figure "5' in the prop
er place. The alterations were made
with a common black lead pencil,
while the check itself was originally
drawn with an indelible pencil, max
ing the change so noticeable that when
the paper was presented at Rasor's ci-
gar store it would not be cashed, and
a later attempt at Burgan's $ also met
with a refusal At this stage of the
game Marshal Holt was notified, and
soon placed Wickham under arrest.
Sunday the prosecuting attorney
came up to investigate the case, and
after questioning the boy took him to
Colfax, but as it is evident the lad did
not realize what he was doing, the
case against him will probably not be
pressed. Young Wickham stated that
his parents reside at Billings, Mon
tana.

MARYLAND'S MAIDEN SPIN,
New Ship to Leave Ship Yards Mon
daV

dispatch from Newport News says: The
new United States armored cruiser Mary
land, which was commissioned at the ship
yard here on April Is and which has been
here since that time, will weigh anchor
Monday and start to sea on her first voy-
age since joining the navy. The cruiser
will go up the coast to GARDENERS bay, Long
Island, and during the run her engines will
be given shaking down.
After remaining in GARDENERS bay about
a week the Maryland will go to the Brook
Ign navy yard, where her siX-inch guns
and secondary battery will be mounted on
her. When she was commissioned the
cruiser had but four eight-inch guns of her
main battery in place, the remaining guns
of that and the secondary battery being In
complete at the time.
After she receives all of her guns the
cruiser will leave the Brooklyn navy yard
and sail direct for Culebra, where she will
join the armored cruisers West Virginia
Colorado and Pennsylvania, which have
eral weeks. Upon the arrival of the Mary
land at Culebra the new armored cruiser
squadron of the United States navy Will
have been completed. This squadron will
be one of the fastest and most powerful in
the world, and will, it is believed. prove a
great addition to the American navy.
When the Maryland was commissioned
at the ship yard here on April Is the Navy
Department was able to furnish but PSI
men for the ship, and ever since that time
it has been experiencing a great deal of
trouble in getting a crew for the cruiser.
At present she has 100 men on board but
her crew is yet far from being complete
believed that the remainder of her crew
will be transferred to heI when the aux
iliary cruiser Dixie is placed out of COM
mission, within the next two weeks.
