shall finally sustain the Commission.
I think that in simple justice TO the
shipper such a deposit ought TO be- r.
quired But II the people are satis-
fed without such a provision I sup
pose the bill will pass without it.
Personally, I should very much
prefer TO have the rate fixed by the
commission remain IN effect until the
matter was finally determined by the
court. but am told by the constitu-
tional lawyers of the Senate that such
provision would be unconstitutional

1t IS intimated that raising OF re-

DR. Morrison little IS said. The jury
was adjourned over until to-day owing
TO TIE serious Illness OF Or. Morrison.
DR.. Morrison served two terms AZ city

tax bills to his wife at this city ana
that they were lost and that he did

that the express package did not leave

Why The Cat Laughs.

At the next performance of
the dramatic class the laughable
farce comedy, "A Wild Goose
Chase" will be produced. This
will be found one of the most mirth
provoking performance yet given
by this sterling company. II you
are interested in knowing why the
cat laughs, You must see this play.
The cast is a large one and from
the rise of the first curtain they all
work with one end in view and
that is to create laughter.
Each act closes with several
musical numbers, that will be
found highly entertaining. Mr.. Cur.
tiss has always given the best oi
satisfaction with this play even in
tie largest of cities, and its presen'
tation here should bring out al
lovers of music and comedy. Seati
will be found at the Postoffic'

ENGINEERS
MEET DEATH
Disastrous Head.on Collision at Mar
shall junction.
PASSENGERS ESCAPE SERIOUS INJURY
An Open Switch Causes Seri-
Gus Disaster.

A serious wreck occurred on the
main line from Spokane to Lewis
ton yesterday morning. The train
from Spokane down, collided with .
solitary engine about 81 miles this
side of Marshall Junction. Both
engineers, Thos. Brant, Of Spokane,
of the passenger train, and Thos.
Richards, who was in charge Of the
lone engine, we're instantly killed.
1t was q miracle that the fremen
escaped injury. One was thrown
through the cab door and hurled
through the air q distance Of 20
feet, but escaped injury, other than
a few scratches. The engines were
both rnnning at high speed and
the number Of fatalities is slight,
considering conditions An open
switch was the cause of the wreck.
The lone engine was running from
Palouse to Spokane and on account
Of the open switch got on the main
track just in time TO cause the dis
aster. There will be no mail from
Spokane and points beyond today.

BIG SHIPMENT OF HOGS.
E. S. Sweet Ships TOO Swine tc
Spokane Markets.

A large shipment Of hogs was
sent out Of Sites yesterday. The
stock had been purchased at differ
ent points on the prairie by E. 8.
Sweet, who made the shipment.
There we're 700 hogs in the con-
signment. The porkers we're
shipped to Spokane for western
markets. Six cents was the price
paid for the hogs. Mr.. Sweet is
one of the best stock buyers in the
country and is making profitable
business of it.
Hog raising is one of the best
branches of the farming industry
on the prairie. The fact that hog
cholera is unknown is sufficient
warranty that the business will
pay. Feed for the porkers is easily
raised and hog raising will always
be good business here on the
prairie.

WEATHER REPORT.
November Was Banner Month
for Farmers and Miners.

TOR FARMERS ana MINERS.
The maximum temperature for
the month of November was co.,
on the 18th Of the month, and q
minimum of 100 on the 25th. The
total precipitation for the month
was 5.78 inches. During the month
a total snowfall of 1880 was re-
corded. This made sleighing good
at different times over the prairie
and especially SO along the foothills.
There were % cloudy days in the
month, partly cloudy, and one
clear day. Some sleet was recorded
on the 9th of the mouth.
The weather of the month seems
to have been just what was needed
to insure big crop on the prairie
next year, and to make mining
profitable in the mountains next
summer. During the first part Of
the month an extraordinary
amount of moisture was in evil
dence. Springs. ponds and lakes
are all well filled at present. The
latter part of the month was made
up of fine, clean weather, and was
especially suitable for cattle and
other live stock. Trees appear to
be in normal condition.
The above interesting report is
furnished by John Norwood, vol
untary observer.
