cold Nuaaet In EIsh,s stomaoh.

A gold nugget, weighing several
ounces and thought TO contain about
two dollars worth of gold. was found
in the stomach of yellowtail caught
by Capt. Billy Graves OF Long Beach,
Cal, about ten miles out at sea.
The nugget is really piece OF rich
ore, but how II came to be lodged in
the stomach OF the fish is a mystery.
The fish weighed 22 pounds and II
is expected that every large FISH
caught here for some time to come
will be examined with the greatest

A PHILADELPHIA IDEA.
i4ew an Ingenious Student Avoided a
Tardy Mark.

A certain student at the Central
high school hit upon a brilliant idea
to escape punishment for lateness. H.
is an established rule at the ins,itul.
ton to detain all pupils one hour after
regular dismissal for each case of
lateness, and If the same student IS;
late three times in one month he is
liable to suspension for one day. un-
less he is able to furnish a reasonable
excuse. A suspension carries with IL
a forfeiture Of exemptions in four and
sometimes FIVE studies. The student
In question, through some unavoida-
BILE delay, was late twice in one
month. While going TO school one
morning, the car in which he rode was
held up for about 10 minutes at Wash
ington avenue by the freight trains
Fearing suspension through his chron-
ic lateness the student tore a leaf
from his notebook and asked his fel-
low passengers to afilx their sigma
lures to note which declared that
he was detained by the railroad cars.

FIRE DRILL.

The chark or fire drill consisted
merely of a piece of soft, dry wood
with a hole drilled in it's center, into
which a rod of hardwood, ash or oak,
was placed, and caused to revolve

by a cord passed round It and pulled
or slackened at each end alternately.

Must Paw for Streets,

SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. 3O.-This
city will demand that property owners
on Third and Fourth avenues, who
have failed to reduce, the width of their
buildings, pay rental to the municipali-
~. Ordinances widening the two streets
were passed months ago and warrants
have been issued bearing sever. per
cent interest to those damaged by the
work. Instead of remodelling their
dwellings,, most of the property-own-
ers have been drawing interest on their
damage awards, and the streets are
unchanged
The city has now determined to fix
the rental value of all property along
the two streets and to charge prop
erty- owners rentals on the basis of
their occupancy of a part of the street
This action is unprecedented in the
northwest and may result in epoch
making legislation.

GAME He COULDN'T FINISH
GODFREY JENNINGS HAS EXCIT-
ING EXPERIENCE WITH
JAILER BERRY,

An amusing and rather exciting in
cident which would have put to shame
the most fantastic and weird story ever
imposed upon the bloodthirsty soul of
Nick Carter or Diamond Dick, oc-
Cured last evening in the county Jail
when Godfrey Jennings, Esq, and
Jailer Claude Berry played blind
mans buff" about the grim corridors
of the county bastile. Godfrey was it,
the Jail birds the spectators and Officer
Wilcox and Claude the men behind.
In the first place, it, was ali Incl
dent-not an accident. Godfrey,
young humorist, was arrested late yes
terday evening by officer Wilcox. who
accused the youth with disorderly con-
duct, in fact the arrest only followed
after Godfrey attempted and absolute
ly failed to kiss a charming young Ia
dy, whom even gossip says was at
tending to her own business. Whert
turned over to the jailer, Godfrey did
not like the idea of being searched;
however, Berry insisted anu Ill the
speechless argument which followed,
Berry received a glancing blow in the
right temple. Then there was some
thing doing Around and round and
round" the corridor waitzed Godfrey.
and around and round and round
waltzed Berry The climax came
when Gofrey made the startling dis
covery that the straight and narrow
path leadeth not to freedom but back
to the starting place But before this
discovery had thoroughly soaked into
his head, Berry made an unexpected
play by suddenly turning and meeting
his victim half way around the course.
Godfrey Jenning. Esq, refused to be
interviewed by even a newspaper re-
porter this morning, but it is rumored
that he has vowed never again to start
a game that he could not finish.

DISCUSS FRUIT
AND VEGETABLES
STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY
TO MEET HERE IN
JANUARY.

Preparations are being begun for the
meeting of the State Horticultural So
ciety which is to meet in this city,
some time in January. At the last
meeting of the society the Commercial
club of Walla Walla extended it an
invitation to meet in this city and the
invitation was accepted. In order to
get things in readiness, preparations
are to be commenced at once and
everything will be done when the So
ciety is called to order.
The State Horticultural society is an
organization for the promotion of fruit
and vegetable raising in Washington.
It's meetings are attended by from 800
to 500 delegates and it is much great
err OCCASION than most people would
think
1t is planned to have fruit exhibit,
as is always done, and in this Walla
Walla should be we'll represented. For
this reason, those who have good fruit,
especially apples. are asked to confer
with the secretary of the Commercial
club. Last year Wa1la Waila had some
apples on exhibition which would have
won a prize but they were not in
large quantities, nothing less than a
box counting. But this year, with the
meeting here, it should be easy for
Walla Walla to make a first class
showing; and Yakima and Wenatchee,
both of whom have a great reputation
for apples, may be shown that the
fruit really is.
There will be many we'll known hor-
ticulturists from all sections of the
state in attendance and more than
likely there will be several instructors
from the State College at Pullman
here during the time the meeting is
convened here.
Nothing at all of definite nature
has been arranged for the meeting
The place of meeting viii be selected
soon and he other preparations rushed
through as fast as possible. w. A.

"The Royal Chef"

The musical comedy, 1.-The Royal
Cref," comes to the Keylor Grand the
alter, December IA. The "Chef" was
originally staged in Chicago and holds
a record of over 800 lights at the
Garrick theater. 1t was given is New
York premier at the Lyric theater and
was one of the first to win actual re-
cognition for a Chicago musical pro-
duction, with the supercritical press
and public of the metropolis, who have
usually exhibited strong antipathy to-
wards anything theatrical not born on
Broadway, until the Chef entered the
field and proved itself pleasing and
satisfactory enough to compel recogni-
ton, and a consecutive run OF nearly
four months to large and delighted au-
diences was the result. The entire press
without a single dissenting voice, de-
clared it one of the best staged and
best played musical plays seen in that
city for years. The music, by Ben Jer-
ONE, is among the best that has been
written ir. many a day. and the book
by George Stoddard is not only built
on original lines, but unfolds coher-
ent story, laughabie in it's handling
and theme and interesting from cur
tain to curtain. The music has had i'm
mense popularity, there being not
duh or urattractive number in the en-
tire score. The sale of the latter by the
publishers, having already exceeded
the quarter of a million mark. Much of
the music is orchestrated with a
neatness and a taste. which show Mr..
Jerome has great knowledge of instru-
mentatiOn and its uses.r The entire
press. wherever the play has been
seen, unite in declaring that not in
years has a light opera score been
heard which contains more of musical
understanding, and appreciation of
What is suitable and effective in such
work The chorus is not only large
numerically but is a telling one and
the various ensembles are uncommonly
good and move naturally to fine eli
makes aid beautiful stage pictures.
The famous "Broilers' were first seen
with the Royal Chef and all the orig
inal members with one or two excep-
ions, are with the company together
with nearly all the producing cast.
VIM. J. Mccarthy as the Chef" has a
role, it is said, that fits him like a
glove and possesses a much better
voice than the average opera comedian,
is magnetic, intelligent and acts and
sings with spirit and dash. Miss
soprano, acts with animation and in
appearance is a very attractive young
woman.
