Villas Comes Out Squarely For Bryan

MADISON, WIS, June 9.-Col. W. F. Villas,
postmaster general under Grover Cleveland,
Gold Democrat and until now one of the most
bitter opponents of William Jennings Bryan,
has come out for the Nebraskan. He thinks
Bryan can unite the Democratic party. Mr..
Villas has just returned from the East and
finds, he says, that conservative business men
have gone over to Bryan.
Speaking of his trip. Mr.. Villas said today
Though was but few days there. | heard
in the East much about the probable candidacy
of Mr.. Bryan. What might to some appear
most singular is the obvious good opinion of
his candidacy which conservative thinkers
express. | met business men who told me
sentiment in his favor is constantly growing
among men of strength and position in bust
ness affairs quite as warmly as among politi-
clans. They say that it has become clear that
there is no longer the risk of danger from the
silver question, upon which they once Sc
strongly opposed hun, and they believe there
will be no further question raised on the sub
ject. His sound democracy otherwise, his
great qualities and his unblemished excellence
of character entitle him to confidence.

College, Walla Walla, will be in this
city on Dec. 22nd to meet the business
men of the town in an effort to secure
their cooperation with the Walla Walla
Commercial Club in securing proper
action by the State of Washington to-
wards cooperation with the Federal

pected of doing the stealing mentione
in last weeks issue, was arrested ar
arraigned on the charge of larceny,
being alleged that he stole harness
etc., from Dan A. Scott, Chas. Johnsc.
and Charlie Bicknell. At his prelimin
airy examination he was bound over tt
the Superior Court in bonds of $500,
which were given by his parents. His
father is said to be train dispatcher
at Spokane in the employ of the North
ern Pacific If he had any accomplices,
as charged, they have not yet been ap-
pretended.
A man named J. H. Purdy, who for
a few days was in the employ of the
Ritzville Trading Co. as sewing mach
inc salesman and expert repairer, is in
more trouble than he can well dispose
of just now; he is also in Jail. 1t APP
pears that he sold a sewing machine for
the firm to Mrs. Katie Achziger for
which she paid him $40, and this money
he not only failed to turn over to his
employers but appropriated it to his
own use To this act the Trading Co.
naturally took exception and caused his
arrest on the charge of embezzlement.
He was given hearing before Justice
Kennedy on Monday and was bound
over to the Superior Court in bonds of
$500, which he was unable to secure,
and he was remanded to the custody of

Banquet Given By the Merchants.

On last Monday night the local Mer-
chants Association gave a banquet in
Gilson's Hall to the business men of
Ritzville at which about so covers
were laid. After the dinner ''smoker"
was enjoyed following which Rev. VIM.
Proctor, pastor of the Congregational
church, addressed the assembly on
1.-The Effect of Sociability Among
Business men,, calling attention to
feudal times when the common people
depended upon the reigning princes
for protection, while at tht present
time the local merchant largely takes
the place of the feudal prince, since it
is to local merchant most people must
look for financial aid and support. His
remarks were well received. Follow
ing Mr. Proctor Hon. J. d. Bassett
discussed 1.-THE Credit System, point
ing out that, in his opinion, merchant
or other business man who secures a
customers cash trade is the one who
should carry the customer when he
needs credit, and wise versa. D. A.
Davenny had charge of the banquet
while A. H. Smith was POSTMASTER.
The latter announced that plan was
on foot to build an opera house in Ritz
vile and called upon Mr.. Thorpe, of
Rosenof and Co., to address the meet
ing on the subject. Mr. Thorpe ex-
planned that the OFT proposition had
fallen through because of it's utter
impractibility and that Messrs. Schu-
Ter & Evans, contractors, had prepared
plans for proposed building on lower
Second street below the Pioneer Stpte
Bank, where Henry Rosenoff would
give site and it was proposed to form
a stock company to build the proposed
house. Chairman Smith appointed
committee consisting of J. d. Bassett,
d. A. Davenny and J. o. Adams, to
select four other members for the COM
mittee, examine the plans, discuss the
matter with the business men and re-
port to the next meeting. A delight
full time was had and meeting that
fully met the expectations of the
Merchants Association. Such meeting
together of the local business men can
result only in good alike to themselves
and the community, and they should
receive the encouragement Of every
business man in Ritzville.

H. A. Tritt is in town from his
mothers place west of Cunningham
and he brings the good news that his
aged mother, who recently fell and
sustained fracture of the hip bone, is
slowly recovering. Because of her
advanced age it was at first feared that
she would not recover. Drs. Hender-
son, of Lind, and Wallace, of Cunning
ham, attended her.
The young people of the German M.
E. church of this city met in the church
on last Thursday and organized local
chapter of EBworth Leaguers. The
following officers were elected for the
ensuing year: President, J. G. Steffer;
vice-president, Bertha Heinemann; Sec
rotary, Albert Pinnow; assistant secre-
tary, Freda Bull: treasurer, Hulda
Buehler; organist, Katie Wagner.
J. H. Sharpe, the young man who
was brought to town last week suffer
ing with complication of typhoid
fever and other Affections, died at his
room in the Lee block on last Saturday.
He has brother who is cashier of a
bank in Des Moines, Iowa, who has
wired instructions to have the body
embalmed. He leaves wife in Stu
art, Iowa. The funeral will take place
from the M. E. Church and interment
will be in the cemetery here.

Funeral Cakes.

There is a grimly humorous anecdote
Of the dying Yorkshireman who asked
his daughter for a slice Of the ham she
had just removed from the stove and
was refused on the ground that "ham's
not for thou; hams for t funeral" It
may be capped by one found in pages

and propped up in bed, he proposed to
read a chapter Of the Bible to him.
The sick man gratefully agreed, but
paid scant attention to the discourse
because he was constantly fumbling
under his pillow for some form Of edi-
BILE which he mumbled with evident
satisfaction betweenhis toothless gums.
At last the curate stopped reading and
asked him what he was doing.
The old man smiled siyly.

Brewster protested that he had no
use for the money and begged him to
retain the position of trust he had held.
But Harrison had too much self re-
spect to care to be confronted daily
with the nan he had wronged. Gradu-
ally Monty realized that hopper was
pursuing the most manly course open
to him and gave up the effort to dis
suade him. He insisted upon leaving
New York, as there was no opportu-
nifty to redeem himself in the metropo-
lis.
'Tve made up my mind, Monty, to go

Monty. IF YOU must go, I'll stake you

In the end hopper consented to fol-
low Brewster's advice, and it was
agreed that they should share equally
all that resulted from his prospecting
tour. Brewster grub staked" him for
a year, and before the end Of the week
a new tenderfoot was on his way to

STOPS GRAIN SHIPMENTS.
New German Tariff Will Be in Effect
March 1.

III ~ MEMBRANE
New York, Feb. 3.-The rate on
heavy grain from New York to Ham
burg by direct steamer has been cut
from 17k cents to 1915 cents for the
second half of February loading, with
out inducing the engagement of a
single bushel.
Owing to the new German tariff,
which goes into effect March / and
which imposes the maximum duties
on American grain imported into that
country, the steamers sailing from
New York for German ports up to the
middle OF February, the brokers say,
carry a large amount of grain.
They are inclined, however, to think
that very little of our grain will find
Its way to Germany during the few
succeeding weeks.
