WILL BE TRIED AGAIN.
Verdict in Reilev vs Torkomian Case
 Has Been Set Aside.

Attorney Church's motion to have the verdict in the Kelley vs Torko- milan case set aside. was argued to- day MT Church claimed that the ver- dict which was for $40 was against the evidence and was not the real verdict of the jury. It was mistake, he contended, and the jury meant to slice $40 off the amount claimed. At torney Peasley, counsel for the de- fendant, admitted that the verdict was against the evidence. The ver- dict should have been for his client.
 Maier Kaiser, one of the jurors, voluntarily testified that the verdict as given was mistake. The jury intended allowing MT Kelley $1SS, but got mixed up in a claim for $40 which Torkomian said he had against MT Kelley. Judge Cowell said there was evidently a mistake and he set the verdict aside and allowed new trial The verdict which the jury in tended giving was s10 more than MT Kelley was allowed in the first trial.

MISTAKES

arebvery troublesome, disagreeable and sometimes very tantalizing. For instance, our city officials got so egotfstically swelled in their upper story as to think they could play base ball little bit That Is. they thought they could show Bridgeport political heelers" how to play the national game. But, oh what an eX- hibition. Say, they couldn't make justsone run, therefore we are sure the5swelling must have disappeared. and of course they know they made a MISTAKE. Now, as they stand even in games won, for pity sake or for the love of Dick don't play any more this summer.
 If you allow peddlers to leave pre- miums in advance of your buying tea or coffee from them, you make a MISTAKE. Of course we mean pro- viding you think you are going to get nice, clean, good tasting tea or cof- fee like the quality we sell They can't do it and they don't do It ana they won't do it.
 If you buy tea or coffee from some out of town concern Represented py some friend of yours), who sell soap, perfumes, starch, herrings, etc, Just because they tell you they'll give you some handsome article, look out for them or you'll make a MISTAKE. :.
 But if you purchase your tea, cof- fee and butter from us you can make a MISTAKE, because we have your money ready for you II the goods are not A No 1 in every re spect, and our say so is our do so fo~ the past 25 years.

saying that the proportion of cement
mixed with the gravel and loan was
not enough to solidify it. Workmen
said that the work was being rushed
With such haste that sufficient time
was not allowed for the concrete to
harden.
People are beginning to ask, When
is this sort of thing going to stop?
Since the collapse Of the Darlington
hotel, in March, 1904, the exceedingly
treacherous nature of concrete, unless
mixed in strict accordance with the
formulas Of standard engineering, has
been shown in similar collapses all
over the country. The situation is
becoming so serious, especially in view
Of the vast amount of money being
put into new buildings, that the In
ternational Congress of Architects, at
recent meeting in London, adopted
the following resolution:
That an inquiry into the cases of
failure of reinforced concrete and their
causes would be most desirable
That where reinforced concrete is
intended to be fire-resisting the great
est possible care must be taken as to
the nature of the aggregate and its
size, and also as to the protection of
the steel.

APPLETON, Wis, Oct. "A mad

Greatest Building Boom IN Worlds
History.
FIRE ASSN. WANTS NEW BUILDING CODE
CALLS ATTENTION TO DANGER
OF CHEAP coNsTRUc-
TON.

NEW YORK, Oct 9.-Never before
been such a boom in building con-
struction as is now taking place in the
country reports are coming in which
show that billions Of dollars are being
spent in the endeavor to provide homes
for a population which is increasing
by leaps and bounds.
Chicago is enjoying boom without
parallel in the history of that city.
Baltimore has just been celebrating
its remarkable rise from the ashes of
the great fire. San Francisco bids >asr
to excel Baltimore's record. New York
is constructing new sky-scrapers rep
resenting investments amounting to
500 900, 900, while in the city and out
lying boroughs builders are expanding
an average of $15O,OOO 900 a year in
hotels, apartments houses, dwellings,
etc. The total number of buildings
throughout the country is close to 49,
100000, valued at nearly $15,000,00 900
The materials used in many the of
the new buildings are of such a f1imsy
character that, in spite of all efforts,
the terrible fire waste of this coun-
try has continued unchecked, until it
now averages 100000, 900 a year. The
National Fire Protection association,
in an endeavor to reduce these losses,
makes an urgent appeal to all interest
ed to cooperate in bringing about
better conditions by adopting improved
methods Of construction; it also rec
ommends that municipalities pass Or
dinances involving the adoption Of an
improved building code along the lines
of the building code recommended by
the National Board of Fire Under
writer's.
The need for such ordinances was
tragically shown in the recent col
lapse of a concrete garage while in
course Of construction at Mineola, L..

badly injured. 1t was learned after

Plan of Company.
1t seems that the plan of this com
pany is to amalgamate the interests
of the proposed new company at this
place with the Natural Oil & Deyelon-
ment Co., of Montana which this
concern has established with consid-
cradle work done at this time. placing
10000 shares of treasury stock of the
Montana company on sale here and
the amount derived from such sales
to be expended for the development of
the Walla Walla enterprises. the
present and future owners of the
Montana stock to participate in the
profits that may accrue from the
Walla Walla plant, and those who
take stock in the Walla Walla or
home company to participate in the
profits of the Montana plant.
Is a Good Plan.
This would seem to us a very fair
way to place this stock before the
people of this vicinity as a lucky
strike Of either oil or gas in either
place would mean a fine appreciation
of values of stocks.
With no desire to dictate to the
people of Walla Walla as to what
they should or should not do, it oc-
ours to this committee that inasmuch
as it is more than likely that we are
located above millions of gallons of
oil that it is good business to aid In
every way to push this thing along.

MADISON, Wis, Oct. 9.-More than
600 students were ducked in Lake Men
dOta in the annual rush between the
freshmen and the sophomore classes.
At times there was as many as 200
students struggling in the water at
once. There were few casualties be-
cause of the effectiveness of the meas
ures taken by President Van Hise. The
rocky beach mad been cleared Of bould-
ers, the precipitous bank transformed

stationed on the rushing field to keep
the rushers from doing undue damage
to each other.
The freshmen far outnumbered the
sophomores and were we'll organized,
but the sophomores, by gaining abso-
lutte control of the gymnasium doors
were able to let only a few freshmen
out at a time. and so ducked the be-
ginners in relays until they became
too numerous. Then the 200 sopho-
mores were quickly soused and trampl-
ed upon and finally driven from the
field.
Last night 800 freshmen paraded
the streets with night shirts over their
citizens clothes, singing and yelling
defiance to the sophomores, but no
sophomore dared to take up the chal-
lenge. This absolute supremacy of the
freshmen over the sophomores is some
thing hitherto unheard of here.
The only unpleasant feature of the
rush was the fact that it developed
into clothes-tearing affair, and many
students had great difficulty in getting

Republican State Committee Admits
Being Hard Up.
ASSESSMENTS ARE ABOUT DUE NOW
WILL SEE TO 1T THAT JONES Is
MAJORITY.

The call for campaign funds is the
principal one that is being sent from
political headquarters. Even the re-
publican state committee, which mas
been generally supposed to be fairly
PROSPEROUS in times past, is admitted
to be in needy circumstances this year,
says the Seattle Times.
The Republican state committee is
supposed to have had a fund of over
$50, 600 two years ago for the Turner
Mead fight. In addition to that they
had donations of probably $4,000 in
transportation from the various rail-
roads. This year there will be no
transportation donations, and a fund
of even one-third of that raised two
years ago is said to be beyond the pos
sibilities.
The republican state committee is
little, will be appealed to- but as this
is an "off" year they will not stand
for much of an assessment and if they
all respond to the modest demand that
has been made upon them, it is be-
lieved the result will not aggregate
more than $4,000. The question of how
to conduct campaign in this state
on IS 900 is what is puzzling Chairman
De Bruler and his associates more than
anything else just at present.
Will Hell p Jones.
About the only assistance that will
be required for the state ticket will
be to offset the fight that is to be made
on Congressman Jones by Samuel
Gompers and his Federation of Labor
organization. The state committee an
nounces that it is determined to see
a majority as his fellow members,
Cushman and Humphrey. In order to
do this it is admitted that a campaign
must be made throughout the state
