WILL COME TO YAKIMA.
H. H. Wende to Join i'm Partnership
With Attorney Parker.

Henry H. Wende has sold his law
business here to stephen f. Chaffee,
of New York, but more recently of
Toppenish, and about the 18th inst.
will remove to North Yakima, where
he has formed a partnership with At
torney Parker of that city. Mr..
Cnaffee is now here getting ac-
quainted with our people and pre-
pairing to take hold where Mr.. Wende
lets go. No one will regret more sin
cerely than the Sun that he finds the
call to a larger and more promising
field too strong to resist. Mr.. Wende
is undoubtedly a coming man He
is close student, keen thinker and
logical reasoner and withal a genial,
whole-souled fellow. who easily finds
friends wherever he goes. His sue
cessor falls heir TO a lucrative prac-
tice and comes highly recommended.

Swallowed a Tack and Lives.

A popular young man of this city,
who does not wish to have his name
published, met with a very serious
accident yesterday about l o'clock.
While lacking up signs he very negli-
gently put eight or ten four-ounce
tacks in his mouth. Accidentally he
let one of the tacks go back into his
throat, and it lodged near where the
bronchial tubes branch off
For a time his condition seemed
extremely serious, but he finally raj
lied, and, without making known his
troubles to anyone, found his way to
a doctors office. Notwithstanding
the seriousness of his case, he con-
verified it into a comedy by asking the
doctor, upon entering the office, for
"some medicine to dissolve a tack in
the stomach" The doctor is said to
have informed him that "a medicine
strong enough to dissolve four
ounce tack, if taken into the system,
would cause instant DEATH" After
relating his story the young man
calmly asked the physician to give
him something that would make him
"throw up" Morphine was inoculat-
ed into his system. and. as the pa
tient afterward said, "it brought ev-
erything but the tack"
Whatever the results may be the
patient is apparently suffering no III
effects at the present writing.

AVENUE OWNERS
ALL URGE HASTE
CITY HALL MEETING ENTHUSIASTIC
improvements of All Kinds Are Urged
for All Parts of the City, In.
Guiding Several Parks.

Considering the weather and sew
eral counter attractions last evening,
the gathering of Yakima avenue and
other property owners interested in
forming the new improvement league
was representative one.
A. e. Larson reported on his in
quiry among the avenue business men
and property owners as to the various
kinds of paving under consideration,
with the result that without a single
exception all whom he had visited
were anxious for some kind of paving
to be done at once. They said they
were ready at any time to contribute
their pro rata as soon as it could be
decided what was the cheapest and
best.
There was discussion as to whe-
Their the Improvement league was
meant to take in in it's work Yakima
avenue only, or the avenue and cer-
tain cross streets. The sentiment pre-
vailed that it should take in all the
business district and all the ideas
originally suggested, and that it
ought to consider the organization
of other leagues for improvement Of
every kind. Public parks are espec-
tally to be considered by the improve
ment league later on.
Leigh R. Freeman displayed much
interest in public improvements gen.
orally. He urged the necess.tv for
immediate action, and thought many
of the business men of North Yaki-
ma who were unavoidably absent last
evening had the interests of the city
at heart, nevertheless, and could be
depended upon to put their should
ers to the wheel and rush the good
work along.
1.-The season is we'll advanced" he
said, land the matter in hand is too
important to delay. We want to see
everybody get busy right now"
Mr.. Freeman's talk embraced the
sentiment of the meeting. when he
said that street paving, while among
the important objects of the league,
was not by any means the only Thing
that must be considered, IL the city
is ever going to take its place among
the progressive cities of the west.
