Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1905-07-01
Thursday evening is the time


of remonstrances against the proposed
macadamizing of certain of the city's
principal streets. 1t is understood
that a protest will go before the coun-
Gil, some property owners thinking it
would be best to leave the streets in
their present condition for a year or
two more, and then pave with asphalt
A macadamized street is in every way
satisfactory and servicable and Pull
man should take up the proposed work,
and macadamize her streets. That men
and teams can be more easily obtained,
the work should be commenced at once
before the energies of the county must
be given to harvesting the immense
crops. By all means macadamize.
Mystery surrounds the death by
suicide of Mrs. Charles Lawrence,
wife of a farmer living about five
miles northeast of Colfax, Wednesday
morning, the woman having taken
dose of strychnine, from the effects of
which she soon died. No reason for
the deed can be assigned, as the woman
was in good health, and there were no
troubles apparently to prey upon her
mind. The deceased was about 35 years
of age, and leaves no children. The
husband is brother of P. w. Law
renee, of this city, and of j. C.
Lawrence, of Garfield.
The two big banks at the county
seat, the First National and the Colfax
National, have consolidated. The
Colfax National takes the commercial
business of both banks and the First
National, under the name of the First
Savings & Trust company of Whitman
county, takes the savings business of
both banks. The capital of the Col
fax National is to be increased from
$120, 900 to $500, 600 and the trust COM
pany will have a capital of $50, 900.
F. Fielding Nader, registrar at
the college, was married to Miss Alma
Blankenship, at the brides home at
Sedro- Wooley, last Sunday, June 25th.
Tuesday Mr.. and Mrs. Nader came on
to Pullman, and are now housekeeping
in Mr.. Nalder's new home on Mechan-
les hill. Miss Blankenship is a form
er student at the college, and has
many friends here who welcome her,
and congratulate Mr.. Nader upon Sc
curing so charming a bride.
"A reception was held in the par
lors of the Congregational church,
Wednesday, in honor of Mesdames J.
L. Dumas and H. J. Welty, the
former of whom left Thursday for
her new home at Huntsville and Mrs.
Welty will probably leave in a few
weeks for Bellingham, where Mr.. Welty
has decided to open law office. Both
ladies have been earnest and faithful
workers in the Golden Rule society
and the church.
j. C. Kenmouth expects to remain
in the city till after the fourth, when
he will return to Nevada, where he has
extensive holdings in some mining
propositions that are showing up in a
most promising manner. Mr.. Ken
mouth has an interest in eighteen
claims in the famous Goldfelds region,
and we hope will be shipping the yell
low metal to Pullman by the car load
one of these days.
THE Knights of Pythias and Rath-
bone sisters, at Colfax, last Tuesday
evening rendered farewell reception
to Mr.. and Mrs. Thos. Neill, who
have removed to Pullman this week.
A pleasant feature of the evening was
the presentation to Mr.. and Mrs. Neill
of beautiful leather upholstered chair.
