A BOLD HIGHWAYMAN.
Levi II. Garfield Is Relieved of Money
While Returning from Church.

Levi A. Garfield. who has been
stopping on South First street, was
held up in an unceremonious manner
on Friday night while returning from
camp meeting. Mr.. Garfield called
at The Herald office the following
morning and related the incident to
the reporter as follows:
Il was returning home from camp
meeting about 1880 Friday evening,
and when on South First street below
Chestnut, heard some one stealthily
approaching in my direction. | was
about to turn around when a power
full man sprang upon me and, pinion-
ing my arms, warned me not to make
an cutlery or my life might pay the
penalty. He then proceeded to go
through me. taking all the money
had upon my person, amounting, ae
near as / can remember, to about
$1.60; pair of glasses and some
papers. By good fortune he over
looked my watch and chain. suf-
fered quite little at his hands, be-
ing hit on the head and receiving a
severe wrench, which he gave one of
my thumbs in my struggle to get
free from him. | was greatly ex-
cited over the affair and. being quite
an old man, was unable to put up any
resistance
Mr.. Garfield was unable to de-
scribe his assailant other than he he
was a very large and strong man.
He said after the affair he was so
nervous that he was unable to sleep
much that night. No clue has
been found of the highwayman by
the police.

Apples for Alaska.

H. M. Gilbert has just shipped to
Alaska a car of fancy four-tier wine
sap apples which is reported by
Hughes & DeKay to be the finest lot
of apples that has ever been left in
their cold storage plant. The apples
were grown by Mr.. Gilbert on his
home place on Mob Hill and were
packed by r. H. Morgan an expert in
that line. This finishes Mr.. Gilbert's
last year S crop, which consisted of
over 10000 boxes of fruit. all of
which was grown on thirteen acres
on Mob Hill Mr.. Gilbert was we'll
pleased with the care given his ap-
pies by the big cold storage plant and
states that the shrinkage was COM
paratively nothing.

Wesley Heare of North Yakima
spent Sunday in town, taking in the
ball game and visiting his former
Prosser friends. He was roofing"
for North Yakima, however, which
proves that he is being weaned away
from Prosser Prosser will soon
have her first automobile. 1t is
owned by Edward Fourier, who is
building the big steamboat and he
will shortly bring the automobile
down from North Yakima. 1t is
large enough to carry several people,
and will probably be rented to those
who wish to take a spin around town
and through the adjoining country
in that kind of a vehicle. 1t will be
a novelty. at least, for this town, and
cause most everybody to rubber
neck" until they become accustomed
to it. North Yakima had another
serious fire Saturday night, the Will
son block, one of the best business
buildings in the city, being partially
destroyed. This is about the fourth
big fire that city has had this year,
the origin of each of them being a
mystery. and in each case the mer-
chanise destroyed has been well in
course, intimate that there is any di-
rect connection between the fires. the
insurance and desire of the owners
of the goods to sell them at whole
sale to the insurance companies.
Yakima is pretty good retail town,
you know, but, just the same, if a
few more fires should occur there
similar to the recent ones, insurance
companies carrying risks on mer-
chandise in that city will have some
cause TO be happy. Bulle-

George +. st. John. formerly of
the normal faculty here, and for sew
eral years past superintendent of the
Everett public schools, resigned a
few days ago. AS a result of ty-
phoid fever he has been incapaciated
for work for several. Fourier,
formerly manager of the Yakima
theater, claims that he will build a
small steamboat to navigate the
lower Yakima. He claims that he
will even run up as far as Ellensburg
during nigh water. 1t is to be hoped
he Will have whistle-hot air or
steam-to warn us of his coming.
The Yakima people are standing
by the government idea of irrigation
and. cordially endorse high line
canal for kittitas valley. They rea-
son, very wisely. that If the govern
ment builds storage works they will
be ample in capacity to supply water
for all the irrigated land between the
lakes and the Columbia river, and
even if we get the first canal, they
will not be for behind. This spirit
is very gratifying to the people of
Kittitas and they heartily recipro-
cate. There is not a single good
reason why there should be any but
the kindliest feeling between the two
communities, and it is certainly being
cultivated at this time.--Ellensburg

The State Board of Education Is IN

the purpose of electing superinten-
dents of schools. The number now
III, it is stated, will be reduced to
eighty but Accomac and Northamp-
ton are not included in the list Of
those to be consolidated and each will
have superintendent as heretofore.
In many counties in the State there
are contests but Accomac isnot in the
number. The present incumbent, Mr..
G. G. Joynes, has discharged the
duties of the office so well and with so
much satisfaction to the patrons OF
the schools, that he is practically the
choice of all our people. He fits the
place so we'll that no one else has been
thought of for the position. 1t is
gratifying too to be able to State, that
the people he serves are not only
satisfied with the intelligent, faithful
and efficient way in which he has dis
charged his duties as superintendent
but that he is recognized as one Of the
best in the Commonwealth.

want to hear him give an account OF
his stewardship as U. S. Senator and
tell us "what he has done" emitting
him to be his own successor. All of the
candidates for Governor too are eX'

be expected if previous engagements
do not prevent.

The flimsy pretexts, upon which APP
plicants for oyster grounds hope to
obtain oyster rocks within the Baylor
survey, appear in the report of the
proceedings of the Board of Fisheries
on last Saturday, given below. If
their contention is to prevail then the
Baylor survey means nothing. If any
of the grounds within the survey are
subject to lease there will soon be no
limit to the claims which can be made
for it.
The matter of certain applications
for oyster planting grounds within the
BAYLOR survey on the ocean side of
Northampton county, which came be-
fore the board at its last meeting and
was referred to the Acknowledgement
for a legal opinion, did not come up
for consideration yesterday owing to
the fact that the opinion requested
from the Acknowledgement had not
been received. The applicants, it is
understood, base their contention on
the allegation that the grounds applied
for, while within the Baylor survey
are not properly marked with metes
and bounds and not properly plated
on the survey, and are therefore sub
iect to lease in the same manner anC
under the same conditions as they
would be if without survey. The bOarC
at it's last meeting being unwilling tC
pass onssthe. matter without lega
advice, submitted it to the Attorney
General for his opinion. 1t was ex
pected that this opinion would be be
fore the board at the meeting Satur
day, but it failed to arrive, and the
matter went over to the next meeting

for Governor, is out in statement
giving his position on the school book
question and in this as in other mat
tiers he has convictions and is willing
to stand or fall by them. He declares
for the adoption of the single list OF
school books, because cit will result
in saving to the people of Virginia q
vast sum of money in the purchase Of
books" but he does not favor an i'm
mediate change from the multiple tc
the single list for the reason that il
might entail upon parents a great
deal of needless expense. He is un.
doubtedly right in being for the single
list, but in not being for such "sud
den and radical change" as would
subject parents "to losses and annoy
ances incident thereto"

immigrants to take the place of colored
people who will not work and want to

and willing to work but can readily
adapt themselves to the ways of the
people they are expected to serve.
