become stockholders, then the invest
ment in the stock of the company,
under the plan proposed, becomes a
very desirable one to those who have
money to invest on long time at seven
per cent. Of course. the citizens here
are vitally interested and can we'll
afford to take stock even if. from an
investors point of view the PROPOSE
tion were not as desirable as it is in
reality" :
Thus it is seen that not only is the
school house proposition one that ap-
peals to every loyal Pullmanite be-
cause the welfare of the town demands
the added school facilities, but as a
money making idea it is attractive as
we'll. Make up your mind now how
much stock you can take, and be pre-
pared when the committee calls on you
next week.

HOW The CHIuK
OBSERVES NEW Year
Mrs. Will Hudson Writes Interest
ing Description of New Year
in Shanghai.

Before one can appreciate the Chin
ese method of celebrating their New
Year, he must spend at least two years
in China. The first year all he thinks
of is the din and unearthly noise, that
keeps up both night and day of the
four days holiday; but by the time
the second New Year has arrived he
has grown accustomed to the eternal
noise of a Chinese city, and can pay
more attention to the other features of
celebration.
1t is difficult for the foreigner to
understand just what the New Year
means to the Chinese. | had labored
under the delusion that it was a time
for jollification, a time for having a
general good time, but find that this
is only a minor consideration to the
loyal Chinaman. The New Year is a
religious as we'll as a secular festival; :;
a sort of Sabbath of the year. for the
Oriental has no Sabbath, but each dav
of the week is the same to him, and
when the new year comes he
puts aside his daily work and rests
from his endless toll. No work is
done except that which is absolutely
necessary, and all shops are closed.
Every one comes out in gala dress,
and the time is spent in prayer to the
gods, in feasting, and in fun. The
noise and din, which seems the most
prominent feature of the celebration,
has peculiar significance, for it is
by such means that the devil is fright
ened away.
The belief in good and evil spirits
has large place in the religion of the
Chinese, and much of their time is
spent in propitiating or driving away
these spirits. Charms, in the shape
of wide strips of red paper, with
Chinese characters on. them, are past

ANOTHER BLUE-BLOODED HORSE

The latest in Palouse equine aris-
tocracy is Gallatin Gratan, who
arrived yesterday to take his place in
the stables of VIM. Porter in this city.
This handsome brown trotter was
bred by T. E. March of Prairieview,
ILL.,. and was brought to this state
and showed at the last Interstate fair
at Spokane, when he won the blue
ribbons in both the -four year old class
and the championship class for stand
ard bred stations. He is 16 hands
high, weighs 100 pounds, and rich
dark brown in color. ASA race horse,
he has already shown great speed,
and is of family that has many rep
resentatives going down close to the
two-minute rank.

Capital Stock Placed at $780,
900, Divided Into 800
Shares of S25.

The executive committee of the Pull
for Pullman club met Tuesday and
completed preliminary arrangements
for the pushing of the school house
proposition to successful termination.
1t was decided that the association to
be formed should be known as the
pullman School Building Co, -
with capital stock of 500, 900. rep
resented by 300 shares of $25 each.
The plan as outlined in the report of
the committee, published in this paper
last week, will be put in immediate
operation, and the president of the
club was authorized to divide the town
into districts, and to apportion it
among the members of the committee
for purposes of soliciting subscriptions
to stock that the work might be done
expeditiously and thoroughly. Three
districts have been formed, the first in
Guiding that part of the city lying
west of the Northern Pacific and north
of the O. R. & N. tracks with Thos.
Neill and J. M. Palmerton as the
soliciting committee; the second, that
part of the city lying south of the
0. R. & N. track, with D. F. Staley,
John Klemgard, E. S. Burgan and
DR.. Shaw, the soliciting committee,
and the third district, north of the
Northern Pacific track, with Prof.
Carpenter, Prof. Roberts, w. H. Har-
vey and c. A. Brewer the committee.
These committees will make an ener-
getic canvass of the city next week,
and before another issue of the Herald
all the stock necessary to build the
three ward school buildings on the
original plan should be subscribed for.
AS an evidence of the reception that
Pul1man's school house idea has re-
ceived, we may state that a conserv-
ative business man living outside, but
with large property interests in this
city, on reading the published report
of the committee, wrote a member of
the committee approving the plan, and
agreeing to take five or more shares of
the stock if the original idea was
carried out.
AS to the financial stability and de-
stability of the stock as an invest
ment, the Herald has sked the opin-
ions of the cashiers of the local
banks, and their opinions should leave
no doubt as to it's safety.
Mr.. Brewer said: 81 consider the
plan feasible, and to those who have
money to loan on long time at per
cent, the investment is a safe one
especially is this true if the citizens
generally take the stock. The more
general the subscription to the stock,
the more desirable the investment will
be-
Mr.. Staley said: eff the subscrip-
tion is general throughout the district
SO that large majority of the voters

FLIES AND DISEASE.

The bacteriology class have been
experimenting with flies to determine
and show in a popular way that bac-
terra is carried from place to place
by this pest. A fly was placed upon a
plate containing bateria and allowed
to walk over it. 1t was then trans
fered to plate that contained nu-
tritive material upon which bacteria
would grow. After passing over this
plae the fly was removed and the bac-
terra permitted to grow. For the
first day or two nothing showed on the
plate but later the fly tracks were
plainly visible, indicating the presence
of bacteria.
Flies congregating about sewers,
refuse heaps, and manure piles carry
the disease germs away on their feet
and later on entering houses deposit
this bacteria germ on food or what
ever else they may happen to rest
upon. The experiment performed by
the class is not Original but has been
demonstrated by psychologists in
many parts of the country before. The
plate containing the bacteria shows
very plainly the method by which
disease germs are carried and is a
pos tive indication that where disease
germs inhabit localities frequented by
flies there is danger of contagion.

pot into a box car standing by the
platform, and with a pocket knife
slashed at his throat. missing the Jug

The wounded man was brought up
town and the flow of blood stopped,
the young mans efforts toward self
destruction being unavailing. as he
will readily recover. 1t is expected
that he will be sent to the insane asy-
lum at Orofno till he RECEIVERS his
mental equilibrium.

Emancipation
Celebration
Chautauqua.

This is an age of progression.
TIE world is growing wiser The
Negro race is component part
of this creation and must keep
pace with this progress. Forty
five years ago, the 22d of Sep
temb9r, Abraham Lincoln issued
a proclamation declaring that
upon the succeeding 1st day of
January, 100000 Negro slaves
would be free and independent.
Since that time, each year, for
these forty odd years the coIored
race has been celebrating that
emancipation While the ms pir-
alton for the celebration is as
great as ever, the manner of the
celebration is indeed time worn
custom and if we would sustain
our claims to progress, some
manner or form of Improvement
must be I'M acted into our Eman-
clpation Celebration.
With this thought in mind, d
committee of citizens of this City
have arranged for an Emancipa
ton Cele bratlon Chautauqua. the
first of its kind ever held by col
ored people and an occasion thai
promises to eclipse anything that
the most fastidious mind could
conceive. A beautiful grove,
seemingly constructed by nature
for this occasion, has been secur
ed, located about six miles from
Springfield on the Interurban
road on the banks of Lick Greek
and is being fitted out for typl
cal chautauqua grounds.
Exercises at the grove will be-
gin Sa urday, September q. and
continue over Monday. the 23d.
Sunday being the 22d, fitting and
devotional exercises will be hello.
The churches of this city will
unite in services during the after
noon

Treasury, of Washington, D G
will be the chief orator. Mr..
Vernon holds the highest posi-
ton of any colored man in the
gift of this government, is an
able, scholarly man. the races

great emancipation, will feel the
satisfaction of a LIES sacrifice to
