County Court.

The case of r. A. Hussey, the Sax
tons River barber, the account of whose
arrest last week for violating Sunday
laws for the state was given in The
Phoenix, has proved a matter of much
interest during the first three days of
this week. Mr.. Hussey was charged
with keeping an open shop, shaving GUS
toners, and selling tobacco, fruit ETC.,
on Sunday contrary to the state statutes.
Mr.. Hussey plead not guilty at his pre-
liminary hearing May IA and trial was
set for Monday morning. He demanded
a jury trial, which was had before JUS
tice C. H. Sanders. States Attorney
H. D. Ryder prosecuted and Chas. H.
Williams defended Mr.. Hussey. The trial
lasted until 100 p. m, when the jury re-
ported they could not agree and another
one was drawn, but for various reasons
the case was continued until Wednesday

that the jury returned the verdict of

WHITMAN COUNTY
GROWERS TO COMBINE

Spokane, July Whitman county
wheat growers contemplate forming q
giant wheat pool to hold their grain
until che market advances to 20 cents
q busnel. Buse will DOW offer 5y
cents for bluestem, cents below last
years opening. The farmers declare
the y ieId will be lower. Sacks are d
cents higher and threshing charges
cent bushel higher than at the same
time last year.
Coifax is the center Of the pool
agitation. but the growers at Endi
colt, Lacrosse and Guy approve the
plan After the promoters of the
scheme outline their plans q conven.
tion probably will be called to launch
she undertaking.
Meantime the growers are holding
their new wheat. Buyers declare that
the Oriental market is quiet and that
the California demand is more than
supplied bv home production. so thst
prices will probably remain much
lower than in the sumner ct 1905.
Ware housemen assert they are not
alarmed ar the possibility of the pool.

tributed In envelopes. The flags
were the national emblems of the diff
ferent nations represented in the cos
men were required to seek out the
costume corresponding to the flag
given him. Owing to the realistic
costumes worn by the members the
task was not difficult. All the various
countries were most delightfully."- rep
resented by the club members, some
elegant conceptions in the national
dress of the various countries being
seen.
Mrs. James A. Fee, president of the
club, presided as toastmistress, and

FADS OF ROYALTY.
Queer Occupations and Amusements
of Kings and Queens.


The following list of fads of royalty
is from the Oregon Daily Journal:
The Prince of Wales has fine COL
lection of foreign stamps, and quite
a large collection it Is, too, for he
started but when a small boy, and is
now recognized as an authority on the
subject. His royal highness also has
very interesting collection of post
ers, many of which have been espe-
cially printed for him in miniature to
paste into a book, the large originals
being kept carefully rolled up.
Amateur acting is the queen of Hol-
lands chief pastime. She takes a
great interest in dramatic art, and
never fails to attend the first night at
the theaters. Her majesty has had a
theater built at Los, where plays are
performed under her direction.
When King Oscar of Sweden is "off
duty" among other things, he is an
enthusiastic botanist, in connection
with which many interesting stories
are told.
One of the most studious queens in
Europe is the German empress, who,
unlike her husband, cares very little,
indeed, for the pomp and eremony.
Her majesty's favorite occupation is
the study of medicine, and she has in
structed herself so we'll in the art of
healing that she is regarded as quite
an efficient adviser in cases of Or
binary illness. The German empress
also makes hobby of collecting fans,

lection of volumes at Sandringham
dealing with the Crimean expedition
and the campaigns of Nelson and
Wellington have a special fascination
for him. His majesty also has a fine
collection of walking sticks, to which
he is constantly adding. His collec-
ton numbers about 1000, all of which
have some special association.
One of Queen Alexandra's favorite
occupations when she is at home at
Sandringham or any other of the roy
al palaces is that of arranging cut
flowers in vases for the tables of the
different apartments. In this matter
her majesty has quite exceptional skill
and taste. The queen also collects
autographs of her friends, and has a
whole museum of little gifts made by
the fingers of her children and grand
children.

All old-time cough syrups bind the

NEW FRUIT PEST.
Gypsy Moth Spreading Over the Unit
ed States.

Horticultural Commissioner Elwood
Cooper of California, is about to issue
a statement that while at the Santa
Rosa convention he met an eastern
entomologist who is intimately ac-
quainted with gypsy moth ravages in
Massachusetts, says the Eureka Times
This gentleman is of the opinion
that within five years the gypsy moth
will be introduced into every state in
the union, that in fact 1t Is already in
several states although unrecognized,
as a result of the eastern authorities
refusing to allow specimens to be sent
out.
Mr.. Cooper therefore asks that hor-
tlculturists keep the closest watch
and send him specimens of all cater
pillars they find, with samples of
their food, in order that the most en-
ergetic measures may be taken at the
earliest possible moment.
