Methodist Episcopals VIII Meet There
September 5.

The coming session of the Columbia
River NJ f. conference will meet at
Yakima on September 5, with Bishop
H. II. Warren of Denver, presiding
1t was hoped that Bishop Warren
could be present at the laying of the
cornerstone of the new Methodist
church at this place, but greatly to
the regret of the entire church men,
tership OF this county, and thousands
of other people, the bishop cannot at
tend, but must return east from Yak
ina by way of Spokane, and that i'm
mediately upon adjournment.
The growth of the Methodist Epis-
copal church in the northwest during
the past year has been remarkable, so

gonian reporter. There are now just
$50 ministers in this conference, and
all are expected to be present at the
coming conference at Yakima. The
conference will close with announce
ment of the ministerial assignments

Shall NIinam Have Saloon?

The county court met yesterday in
an adjourned session to consider the
petition for a liquor license to sell
liquor IN the new town of Minan in
North Elgin precinct, also to listen to
arguments of Attorneys Lloyd and
Crawford who represent a group of
people in that precinct who object
to the petition. The remonstrance
has a larger list of slgners than the
petition, but after considering the
question all day yesterday, the court
decided to take the matter up again

first of September. f. C. Berry, OF

\ Narrow Escape.

VIII Harder, of the threshing crew
of Harder brothers, is entitled to
thank his lucky stars that he is yet in
the land of the living. The outfit was
at work Tuesday at w. p. Willaby's
place west of town. when a knuckle OH
the feeder broke, releasing a bar
which struck Mr.. Harder across the
side of his head. knocking him in
sensible. The bar came in contact
with the cheek bone, which withstood
the shock. This is not saying that Mr..
Harder is possessed Of more adaman-
tine "cheek" than the average indi-
vidual. Had the blow been an inch
higher 1t would have struck the tenn
pie; an inch lower, and 1t very prob
bly, would have broken his neck. The
wounded man was taken to Athena
for medical attention, and Is fast re-
covering.-Weston Leader.

AFTER CHEAPER ELECTRICITY
Moscow Would Pay No More Than
Pullman.


Moscow, Aug. 1S.-If the new or
dinance introduced last night by
Councilman Patten and which was
given Its first and second readings Is
put through, Moscow people will get
cheaper rates for electric lights and

company will be given hard jolt. In
explaining his ordinance Mr.. Patten
declared that 1t was based on the
rates now in existence in Pullman,
stating that II the company could
cary power through Moscow and on
to Pullman 10 miles away for a GER
tain sum, It could very well afford to
give this city like rate. The ordi-
nance reduces the rates as follows:
One candlepower, from 81 to rs
cents; two 16-candlepower, from
$3.50 to 81; three 16-sandlepower,
from so to s1.2O.

13 cents; over so and under 100 X.
w. hours, IL cents; all current over

about 90 per cent below the present
rate.

II there is the slightest doubt in the
minds of any that Dandruff germs 10 rot

fact that a rabbit innoculated with tho

In one hundred per cent. of eases by
the application of Newbro's Herpcide.

AS the result of fast driving on
East Court street bad smash-up oc-
CURED last evening near the court
house when a horse driven by ole
Oleson dashed into a buggy in which
Charles Cunningham and E. T. Wade
were riding. Fortunately no one was
seriously injured. though both Messrs,
Cunningham and Wade were shaken
up and received minor injuries.
At the time of the accident Mr.
Wade was driving at a walk across
the square at the northeast corner or
the court house grounds, and accord
ing to Mr.. Wade they were close to
the sidewalk on the south side. Mr..
Oleson was driving east along the
street with his wife and child in his
buggy His horse was young ami
NAL and while speeding along the
street evidently became unmanagea-
BILE. He dashed into the Cunningham
buggy at full speed and upset the
buggy completely, throwing the two
occupants to the street. The shock
caused Mr.. Cunningham's horse to
take fright and breaking loose from
the harnses he dashed down Court
street through the business portion of
town. The oleson horse became en-
tangled in the overturned buggy and
fell.
AS a result of his fall Mr.. Cunning
ham received an injury to his left
hand and wrist, but it was not of a
serious nature. Mr.. Wade was also
somewhat bruised and cut by his fall.
No More Speeding.
That the practice of racing on Court
street must come to a stop was de-
clared this morning by Chief of Po-
lice Gurdane whose attention has
been called to the practice by last
nights accident. Under a city ordi-
nance horsemen are forbidden to drive
faster than six miles an hour inside
the city, and according to the chief
this prohibits anything faster than a
very moderate trot. He says that in
the future anyone found driving at a
racing clip within the city will be ar
rested.

For this reason, too, people who
safer from chilblains should be gen.

caused by depressed vitality and a
slow circulation which leads to these
infamed patches forming on various
parts of the body, usually on the fin

A Cautious Lassie.

A young man in Lynn, wishing to
please his sweetheart, acted as his
own banker and made a pleasantly
imposing column of entries in a
handbook, which he then gave her
to examine. The young woman,
with foresight hardly compatible
with what the French call the
"grande passion" trotted down to
the bank to verify entries. The
marriage is now declared off, and
one can't help feeling it would have
been wrecked anyway by an incom-
patibility of temperaments.-Bos-

ovID's CITY.

Ovidopol, one of the towns in

has been running riot against the
Jews, proclaims itself "Ovid's City"
Those who gave this little port on
the Dniester its name identified it
with the Toni, to which the Roman
poet, Ovid, was banished by the
Emperor Augustus because of the
unwholesome character of his de-
cadent poetry, according to the en-
peror; because he had too much
knowledge of secret that panied
Augustus, according to the poets
own hint. But the real Toni is now
believed to be the Roumanian port
Kustendji, which boasts statue of
Ovid in the chief square.

Hing Georges title of king of the
Hellenes is due to the fact that
when he was elected to the throne
he was acclaimed by the nation as
king, not of Greece, but of the
Greeks. The great powers admitted
the title of king of the Greeks, but
out of consideration for the suscep-
tibilities of the sultan they adopted
for official purposes the title of king
of the Hellenes, as distinguished
from the Greeks still under Turkish
rule.
