Few Railroad Accidents.

There has been 2 perceptible de-
crease in the amount of illness and
number of accidents in the railroad
service the past year. and the local
|. c. railroad hospital has never be-
fore since II was built experienced
such dull times generally.
Formerly several accidents daily
were not infrequent. but nowadays
II is seldom that an accident is heard
of. and then It is usually of minor
Importance. The officials attribute
the conspicuous absence of serious
accidents to the fact that many i'm
proyements have been made the road
to preclude accidents OF all kinds.

what the result Of it was, may never

Tittsworth ran up. jumped in the
back of his buggy, and at the point
of pistol compelled him. the doctor.
to sign a paper stating that Tits
worth did not owe the SIS for which
he was sued, and that the debt was

He raised his hand and Ellsworth

a bone in his finger, DR.. Payne claims

watch and instrument case No claim
is made by DR., Payne. it is under
stood, that Ellsworth made him get
out OF the buggy, disrobe snt- va i = esx
in the mud, as one report stated.
Tittsworth's story is entirely diff
ferent He admits that he encoun-
tered Dr. Payne on the road. and
climbed in the back of the buggy.
He denies that he had a pistol or dis
played one or threatened the doctor
with one. He declares that the state

CANNOT SERVE
Is WHAT COMMITTEE WILL RE-
PORT IN REGARD TO TRUS-
TEE BYRD.
Nothing in Effort Go Declare Presi-
dent Williamson Ineligible.

II Is understood that the Board of
Education committee appointed TO
investigate the question of Mr.. VIII
T. Byrd's eligibility as school trus-
tee has decided Mr.. Byrd cannot
serve. Mr.. Byrd was elected from
the Fifth ward, but before he quali-
fled was sworn in as a deputy coun-
ty clerk under Clerk Hiram Smedley.
Members of the board of education
suggested that he fail to qualify as
school trustee until the board OF
county supervisors finishes its work,
Mr.. Byrd being a deputy clerk only
during the sitting of the board, but
he desired TO vote at the election of
officers of the school board recently
and insisted on qualifying.
The decision that he cannot serve
is not without precedent, as in Louis
Vile a few days ago where school
trustee was appointed a deputy coun-
ty assessor It was decided that he
could not hold both Offices, and he
preferred the one on the school
board and gave up the other.
Some of the Democrats, Mr. Bird
being one of the two Democrats
elected at the recent election, claim
they will try to have President II. f.
Williamson declared ineligible be-
cause he is a pension examiner, a
mere clerical government position,
but 1t has been tried before and
failed, and as the board of educa-
tion is the own judge of the quaiifi-
ton of its members. will probably
fail now, If attempted.
The committee is composed of Trus
tees List, Morris and Miller. and it
was appointed by Trustee p. J. Beck
en- baugh while the latter was presid-
ing over the board recently.
"No, ! am not ready to turn over
my Office just yet" said DR.. Harry
Williamson, president of the school
board, today when twitted about the
article in one of the papers stating
that his eligibility to his Office would
probably be brought up before the
board. "Tbis matter was threshed
over by the board last year, and the
decision given in my favor, and was
again brought up this year and in
vestigated and it was decided ! was
entitled to my seat in the board"
DR.. Williamson holds an appoint
ment as pension examiner from the
government. and dt was suggested
last year that this position made him
ineligible for his position in the
school board There is no salary
attached to the position of pension
examiner. The board meets the
first Wednesday in every month and
applicants go before It, and for those
DR.. Williamson examines he gets a
fee of 50. as ne would in any other
medical case If there are no appli-
cants, he gets nothing.
When this matter was before the
board last year two Democrats, Joe
Mattison and C. W. Morrison, voted
with the Republicans to seat DR.
Williamson.

CIVIL WAR VETS.
WERE IN CAMP
Defendants of the Republic Hold
Annual Encampment in
Reaney's Park.

Once more the fast thinning ranks
of the Civil War veterans of Whitman
and Latah counties have rallied for
their annual encampment. For two
days the music of the fife and drums
has been heard in Pullman, and around
the evening camp fires in Reaney's
park stirring patriotic songs alternated
with "reminiscences of the sixties.
The old soldiers have had "some-
thing doing" all the while so there
was no difficulty in passing the time
away. The Epworth quartet and the
college quartet furnished excellent
music. Miss Ida Baker and Mrs.
Edgar Reed sang several we'll received
solos. The young orators of the col
lege were given an opportunity to
plume themselves, and the old veterans
listened eagerly to H. C. Todd, O.
W. Collins and j. w. Brislawn. Fri
day afternoon Rev. Mr.. Hindley and
S. c. Hyde of Spokane delivered ad-
dresses. Mr.. Hyde is himself veteran.
and at one time was superintendent of
the old soldiers home. The stores all
closed from enc to three and everv-
body went to the park.
At a 80 Friday the cadet regiment
W. S. c. was revived in honor of the
G. A. r. members. Camp was broken
today and the veterans dispersed to
their homes.
That there is no South could
have no more convincing proof than
that offered by the call for this en-
campment in which "both the blue
and the gray were invited to partici-
pate. No doubt the old soldiers got
much enjoyment from the encamp-
ment, renewing mountaineering and
" swapping yarns. The citizens of
Pullman, however, get their share of
pleasure from this annual event, and
the boys are always welcome here.

PULLMAN APPRECIATED.

L b111JMfaIN al 4 hEO1A l. Ell
"The most beautiful town in tn
United States.''
That is the way that Prof. W. j
Spillman, agriculturist of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, who is here from
Washington City attending the farm
ers' convention at the college, speaks
of Pullman, and the way he speaks it
leaves no doubt as to the genuineness
or the strength of his belief.
The professor was one of the strong
men of the college faculty here during
he building-up period of the institu-
tion, and when, a few years ago, the
department of agriculture drafted
him into the national service, the state
regretted his loss to US, but he has al
ways remained loyal friend to the
college and to the Evergreen state.
Yesterday, from the vantage ground
of the Ad. building, the professor,
with a sweep of his piercing eye over
the city, gave utterance to the express
sion that heads this article. He re-
marked especially upon the great
growth and beauty of Pullman as a
city of homes, and the efforts that
our people were making to add to the
natural attractions of the place. He
was impressed with the work being
done on the streets of the city, and
said that Pullman was certainly becom-
ing model home town.
Your handsome city parks are 60
ng to be prominent feature in bring
ng people to your town to locate, !"
aid the professor, "and your people
'ill be justified in going to consider
bic outlay in making them more at
.active.
"The rapid growth of trees, the
yident delight of the citizens in we'll
ept lawns and in flowers and shrubs,
I'd the high class of residences being
ected all go to make Pullman the
ost beautiful town in the United
ates.
These words from Prof. Spillman
doubly appreciated, coming as they
from one whose duties take him to
parts of the Union, and who takes
,ecial note of those things that make
! desirable place for home and home
