81 Almost every section of the
United States is complaining of unus-
ual cold for this time of the year. From
Maine to the southern border of Texas
there is a cry for more heat. Crop
work has been delayed, fruits are
thought to have suffered and spring is
tardy everywhere. The conditions in
the northwest and especially in North
Dakota are no worse than elsewhere.
Some of the scientists will explain the
extreme cold and will probably blame
it onto sun spots--as good reason as
any other.

The "Shut-in" societies are now
making their appeal for the summer.
The summer months are in certain
ways harder for inyalids who are
shut in than are the months of the
colder seasons. In winter life is
largely indoors for everybody; sum-
mer invites out among trees and fields.
1t is sad not to be able to accept the
invitation, to see the strong enjoying
out of doors andt o be left lonely. If
the invalid has means, then wheel
chair with some one to push it, a car
riage or an automobile. even a pleas
ant porch, or window that COM
mands pretty scene, give a share in
the pleasure of the earth at its most
delightful season. Then books and
the society of friends who have leisure
to be entertaining mitigate the disci-
pline of chronic illness, even at the
season which makes its deprivations
most poignant. But summer is a hard
season for the shut-ins who are poor
or who, if not strictly in poverty, can
not avail themselves of the sweetness
of the summer To these should be
sent the books, that tell of the infinite
comfort, deep voices of faith and
resignation, and, hardly less neces-
sary, tales the lightest and pleasant
est. that bring summer into the close
sick room. For these the carriages or
the automobile of the more prosper
Gus can make life wear a new aspect,
and the wheel chair may quicken the
sluggish blood into the wan cheeks,
and bring health back partially, some
times completely. Sometimes what is
needed is a change of scene. All these
benefits can be provided without a
thought of charity in the derogatory
sense. Such services may be so filed
with neighborly kindness and good
will that they increase the self-respect
of the beneficiary Kindnesses of this
sort to the saut-ins who need them
least are to be encouraged, but much
more to be commended is thoughtful,
self f-saerificing kindness to those most
in need. A shut-in society has for
one of it's aims to extend this gra-
ciousness to the loneliness that is
most lonely, the suffering least allevi-.
ated., But whether one is a patron
of society or not. one can search
out the sickness that most requires
this thoughtfulness. Slight services
are these, costing little except that
which is above all cost. sympathetic
spirit, a heart compassionate and pitt
full.

TURKEYS IN EVIDENCE

Raising Turkeys Is Profitable Busi-

Turkeys have been much in evidence
in the local market this week. All, or
nearly all, are of large size and Of the
beautiful bronze variety, and by far the
larger portion were shipped to Spokane
and the mining towns of the Coeur
dAlenes. This is large industry from
all the central points in v hitman county.
As showing the extent of the industry

Raising turkeys in Whitman county is

almost ilimitable. Turkeys, both live
and dressed, are bought and sold by the
pound. The raiser sometimes thinks he
is getting the worst of the bargain, par
ticularly when he sees the high prices
quoted in the city stalls, but when we
consider the several hands through which
the birds must pass, the cost of prepar-
ing them for market, freight charges
and the percentage of loss, perhaps the
question Of give and take is about evenly
divided.
At all events this has been a glorious
Thanksgiving here and elsewhere. The
slight furry in the monetary market
has not caused a ripple to appear on the
great sea OF plenty and happiness. The

MORE BEAUTIFUL APPLES.
Specimens From Orchard of Philip
Cox g. Sons Near Hay.

There seems to be no end to the fine
apples raised in Whitman county this
year. The latest are perfect apples from
the orchard of Philip Cox & Sons near
Hay, on what is known as the Cherry
Dale Stock Farm. In addition to fine
stock one will here see fruit of all kinds
ripening during season. And for beauty
and perfect form nothing can excel seye-
raj specimens OF apples brought by MIR.
Cox from his orchard and placed in the
show window of Hinchliff's store Tues
day. They are specimens of White Bell
flowers and Yellow NewtowD Pippins,
perfect in every respect, prize winners
wherever they may be placed.
Mr.. Cox went through his orchard last
week and saw several hundred hogs feed
ing on the beautiful apples as they fell
from the trees, so he concluded he would
box and ship part OF them, still leaving
plenty for the hogs. This he did. He
picked and last Tuesday shipped $40
boxes, getting 81 box on the car {. O.

per box. They were selected from the
two varieties above named, 45O boxes
being Yellow Newtown Pippins, choice

knowing a good thing when he sees it,
and declaring that they will not be

The several orchards on the Cox estate
are like all others throughout the Pa

OUTMAN IS ACQUITTED
Jury Says He Is Not Guilty
of Illegal Voting.
Aftermat of Election Contest in
Pullman Travelling Man Does
Not Lose Residence.

W. ID. Outman was acquitted by the
jury Tuesday for alleged illegal voting.
The jury was out 20 minutes, or long
enough to take ballot and arrange
the verdict. This was expected. Those
who heard the evidence, or most OF them,
at least, looked for no other result.
This case has caused wide comment.
1t is one of the cases growing out OF the
seemingly everlasting Pullman muddle,
which all good citizens Of Whitman
county are anxious to have settled.
Outman went to the State College at
Pullman as a student, where he gradu-
ated. After graduation be formed q
partnership and went into the hardware
business, during which time he was
twice elected a member OF the city cOun-
Gil from the city at large. He cast his
first ballot in Pullman, and has never
voted nor attempted to vote anywhere
else. He married, and with his wife,
mother and sister for time maintained
a house there. After the death OF his
mother (his father had died several
years previously and going out of busi-
ness for himself he entered the employ Of
a mercantile firm at Portland as travel
ing salesman, and ever since has been
and is now in their employ. His busi-
ness cOmpels him to travel the greater
portion of the time, he being at either
Portland or Pullman at irregular inter
walls. 1t was while thus employed that
be returned to Pullman two years ago
and voted at the city election, his vote
being challenged on the ground that he
was trying TO vote in the wrong ward.
The attempt was made to appear that
he maintained apartments and all his
personal belongings were in Portland,
hence he had no legal residence in Pull
man and should not have voted there.
Not having attempted to vote elsewhere
and always claiming Pullman as his
home it was evidently clear to the Jury
that he had not lost his residence there,
albeit he was there at irregular inter

Wednesday. He shipped altogether
1000 boxes OF apples, 5000 from bis

boris. Sixteen hundred boxes went to
Los Angeles, the remainder to various
shipping points east of here. Mr.. Wal
ters received from 81 to 81 25 per box
for his apples. the last named for choice
varieties. No finer apples have been
thrown on the market this year than
that seen in his orchard, which is one oi
the choicest in the Palouse.

Nolan and Theodore Hartman were
lodged in jail Thursday night OF last

from a lot of cigars. They pleaded
guilty and each received a cumulative
sentence of not more than IA years and
not less than Is months.
A B. f. Gibson was an offender against

Breen in the rear of the B. & C. saloon in
this city and received a sentence OF not
more than 20 nor less than five years at
Walla Walla.
William Neel, charged with brutal
assault on Ben Manchester, changed his
plea to guilty and was sentenced to four
months in the county jail. Verne Hoag.
an accomplice with Neel, stood his trial
week before last and a jury brought him
in guilty, Judge Chadwick giving him
eight months in the county Jail. Neel
thought he could save time by pleading
guilty, which he did. Charles Lyons, also
engaged in the assault on Manchester,
at this writing has concluded to stand
trial and his case was continued to the
January term of court. 1t is hoped these
young men will mend their ways when
they get out Of this scrape.
