THE INSTITUTE
To Eliminate Saloon at Pullman.
Fired w. LewiS.)

To all patrons and the farmers of
Washington and their friends: L wish
tn call your attention to some much
needed legislation for our benefit and
beo Of YOU to not neglect your oppor-
tunitv to assist in getting it.
First. We demand a direct primary
law which will, to a great extent, take
orr notifies out of the hands of po-
litical mountebanks and grafters and
allow orr nominations to come direct
from the people themselves, thereby
tending toward better officials and
the RELOCATION of "the boss to the
Mace where he is not able to control
the policies of our government. Let
all friends of this movement circu-
late netitions or send letters to our
members of the legislature calling on
them to pass this bill. You can send
vour petitions when signed, to e. M.
Powell, who has charge OF THIS part
of the work. Don't forget this.
Second. Believing it to be vital 10
the welfare of our boys and girls VINO
may attend our State College at Full
man, that the saloon and gampllng
resorts be abolished from near that
school. therefore we demand thaC
law be passed, prohibiting saloons and
pool rooms within five miles OF the
Washington State College at Pullman.
We have waited to see II our SISTER
CITY could handle the situation her-
self. but in view of the dlsgraceIul
episode on election day in Pullman,
whereby we are led to think that the
saloon element is beyond the control
of the law-abiding class, we there
fore call upon our legislature to assist
lis in purifying the atmosphere OF our
school at that place and thereby make
If q school where we can safely send
our bows and girls, feeling sure that
no saloon or gambling house will en-
tice them from the right and rob them
of their manhood and womanhood.
Let every person, whether patron
or not. who is DESTROYS OF saving our
BOYS and girls, take this matter up
and push it to a successful termlha-
ton. We shall have the united saloon
element to fight, but we are III the
right. and if we do our duty we shali
win. The powers of numbers is great
in such cases and if the farmers ana
friends of farmers boys and girls ana
all who desire a purified atmosphere
for our State College will use thelr
hest endeavors and deluge our legls-
lature with letters and petitions de-
handing that this law be passed, then
we can overcome the power OF the
saloon.
It is said that the saloon element
will undertake to hold up the appro-
nriatiOn bill if this law be passed, SO
LET us act accordingly and not put
ourselves in their power. Let us not
Glow the fair name of our state to
ha SMILED by such a blot. Let us
oriso in our might and show these
on,issariec of Satan that they can not
rule us. Md

ENDS HIS OWN LIFE.
FINS Baker, Well Known to Many
COIumbianS, Suicided in Cum.
berIand County Last
Thursday.
ENDED HIS LIFE IN HIS BARN.

= People of the Marrowbone country,
Cumberland county, were startled last
Thursday when the news spread from
house to house that Finis Baker had
committed suicide by hanging.
The facts concerning the deed, as we
gather them, are as follows:
A number of friends had gathered at
Mr.. Bakers residence to partake Of a
Thanksgiving dinner, the deceased
being in fine spirits and enjoying the
company. ~
After dinner he informed his wife
that he had to go down to the store,
located short distance below his res
idence. Accordingly, he went to his
barn to get his horse. 1t was noticed
that he did not come out. and after
quite awhile the barn was visited by
friends, who found MIR. Baker hanging
from a cross beam, dead.
Five or six years ago the deceased
attempted to end his existence in the
same way, but he was found and cut
down before life was extinct. In speak
ing of the act to friends afterward, he
said he had no knowledge of it what
ever, that the occurrence was blank
to him.
Soon after the first attempt he was
adjudged a lunatic and sent to the Lake
land Asylum. After remaining in the
institution for some time, he was pro-
nounced much better, and was permit
ted to return home, but he made fire.
quent trips to the asylum, remaining
weeks at time, consulting the physi-
clans, During the years of his illness
he was a genial, sociable gentleman,
and his death is generally regretted.
He was about 81 years old, and was a
son of Rev. Martin Baker, who was a
noted Cumberland Presbyterian preach
er in his day. At one time the de-
ceased was a citizen of Burkesville, and
while residing in that place he was an
Elder in the Presbyterian Church. Re-
moving to Marrowbone, he connected
himself with the Cumberland Church,
dying consistent member.
He was related to. all the Bakers of
Cumberland county and also to the Ba-
kers of this place. He leaves wife
and two interesting children.

THANKSGIVING.

The day was generally observed in
Columbia, every body laying aside
business and attending servicse at the
Methodist church, the sermon being
preached by Ed. w. K. Azbill, who de-
hvered one of the most Entertaining ad-
dresses ever heard in this place. He
took the Lords Prayer for a text and
applied its meaning to the past and
present condition of the country. In
other words, we were indebted to God
for all the good that had been accom-
plished. The speaker dealt in facts and
figures, but as we did not take notes, it
would be difficult to give any thing
akin to a synopsis of the discourse.
Suffice is to say, that were it in print,
it would furnish enlightment to the
reading public, and would be priced as
a most valuable production of ancient
and modern history.
The services were opened with special
song services and an able prayer by
Rev. j. C. Cook, of the Baptist church.
At the conclusion collection was taken
up for the widows and orphans and
divided between the four churches Of
town, to be turned over to their re-
spective orphan homes.
The congregation dismissed, the
people repaired to their respective
homes, gathered around festive boards
and returned thanks for the bounti-
full blessings that had been bestowed
upon them.

STAND TOGETHER.

What helps one helps all; the thing to
do is to stand together and help one
another. Help the town and you help
yourself; the prosperity of one is the
advancement of all. Pull down your
neighbor and you hurt yourself. Put a
wire across the path of progress and
you will break your own neck. Jump
upon the rich and you will be poor in
deed. Oppose the poor and you-will
suffer from poverty. Be hopeful, big
hearted, boardguaged. There is moth
ing that hurts a town. the people or
business, more than the presence of
narrow, contracted cross between
glue pot and vinegar barrel, who
never spends dollar for himself or
any other ones comfort.
