special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
New York, Aug. 31.-The
new divorce law passed by the
last session of the legislature
will come into effect tomor-
row. The most distinguished
feature of the new law is the
provision which makes adul-
terry a crime in this state and
attaches a penalty of either
six months Imprisonment or a
fine of $3.50, or both for either
husband or wife who may be
found guilty. The law is re-
garded as good one.

NO POLITICS IN TAFT'S VISIT.
So Say Men in Charge Of Reception al
Seattle.

SEATTLE, Aug. 3.-Despite the fact
that Jimmy Blackstone is busy organ
izing a Taft club with a proposed
membership of not less than 1000 vot-
ers, an injunction has been sent out
from Washington that there must be
no politics in the reception to be ten
dered Secretary of War William H.
Taft in Seattle. The public can en-
thuse as much as it chooses over Taft,
the man, but there is strong injunc-
ton against coupling his name with
the presidency while he is on his way
to the Philippines on an official mis-
sion.
To make sure that no politics creeps
into the Taft entertainment, the Sc
attic Chamber of Commerce has pro-
vided for a public meeting in Taft's
honor. He will speak at the Grand
opera house and anybody who wants
to hear him will be enabled to do so.
During the greater part of three days
trail figure in a series of receptions
and entertainments that will make the
time pass comfortably. Jimmy Blak-
istone and his 1000 club will be on
the dock to. ;meet him, there will be
brass, bands and much glad acclaim.
But in strict accordance with the sec
retary's Injunction all this will bear
a label showing that it is not poll
tjcal demonstration IF anvone ShOuld
be SO. ,thoughtless as to arouse cheers
over the mention of Taft's presiden-
tial possibilities, Secretary c. B. Yam
dell of the chamber of commerce will
be right there to whisper an explana-
ton that the cheering is merely a be-
lated effort to work off steam and has
no political significance.

VISITS SPOKANE,

J. w. Babcock, assistant engineer of
the state railway commission under
H. P. Gillette, is in Spokane securing
data with which to compile his repor,
to the commission. Mr.. Babcock since
he has been in the employ of the state
railway commission, has covered in his
trips of inspection, hundreds of mnes
of railway, partly on foot and partly
on hand cars.
He inspected and reported on the
following pieces of road: Spokane and
Columbia line from Grand Forks to
Republic; Great Northern from Idaho
state line to Everett and from Ballard
to Mt. Vernon; Spokane Falls & North

of Washington; Northern Pacific from
Port Townsend to Quilcene; the Sno-
quamie line from Black River Falls
to North Bend; Palouse and Lewiston
branch from Marshall Junction to Sun
shine, and the Genesee branch from
Pullman Junction to the Idaho line
The purpose of making these in
specti"ns is to get at the cost of re-
predicting the roads to determine their
present value" said Mr.. .Babcock in an
interview. MY notes of these inspec-
stions and my testimony were submit

There is more Catarrh in this Sec

eases put together, and Until the last
few years was supposed to be incur
able. For a great many years doctors
pronounced it a local disease and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be Il
constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment

WHEAT MARKET
RATHER QUIET
INDICATIONS, HOWEVER, THAT
PRICES WILL BEGIN TO CLIMB
IN NEAR FUTURE.

The West Coast Trade this week.
sums up the wheat situation as fol-
lows
The market is quiet. There is
very little demand for old crop at
present, as most of the mills have
closed up their simmediate require
ments, and the near approach of the
new crop keeps them out of the mar
ket at the present range of values
The tone of prices has softened mod
erately again and quotations are off 1c
from a week ago, quoting at SAC for
bluestem ard SEC for club.
There is very little wheat Offering.
however, the receipts for the week ag-
gregating but $4,000 bushels. No new
wheat has yet been received in this
market, but exporters are naming fig
ures at SIC for bluestem, soc for club
and 7Sc for red, which it is believed
will be about the prevailing figures.
though growers are said to entertain
very strong views regarding the sit
uation. and it is possible that the
early movement Of the enormous crop
now being harvested will be compare
lively light.
1.-The general position of the market
shows comparative strength at home
and abroad based upon the admitted
crop shortage in the leading prOdu-
oin ~ nf a
in the United States, but to what ex-
tent this will influence the price situa-
ton cannot be fOrecasted Until definite
is obtainable and cOndi-
tons get down to a more stable basis
With a late harvest in this country.
there are additional reports Of a larger
outturn than had at first been thought
possible, and there has been grad
ually sOftening tone to speculative
markets again during the week.
Harvesting has become very gener-
al throughout the grain growing U.s.
tricts of Washington, and reports OF
heavy yields are becoming more fire.
1uent, while the trend of advices is
very favorable to substanti-
ating previous reports of uniformly
record yield. 1t is generally believed
hat the general acreage for this state
will be easily 20 bushels to the acre.

NO EXHIBIT FROM
WALLA WA[LA
STREET CARNIVAL WILL ENGAGE
ENTIRE ATTENTION OF THE
COMMERCIAL CLUB.

Following the telegram received
Thursday regarding Walla Walla's
exhibit at the Interstate Exposition OF
irrigation and Forestry at Sacramento
today was received complete list of
the premiums and prizes to be award
ed during the session of the National
Irrigation congress at that place.
Twenty massive gold and silver
loving cups and vases are among the
prizes. Thoroughbred bulls worth
hundreds of dollars are also included
among the officers. The premium list
is one of the best ever put out and to
the winners of the competition exhib-
it's will go some beautiful prizes.
That Waila Walla can not be repre-
scented in this contest is the opinion of
most of the business men of the city.
To gather such an exhibit takes not
only money but time as well and it
is too late in the year to start the
exhibit now. While all feel that Wal
la Walla could duplicate her past rec
ords and walk away with the lions
share of the honors if they had rep
resentative exhibit, yet it also is their
opinion that such an exhibit could not
be gathered in the time remaining. If
it wee done it would be up to the
Commercial club to do it and at pres
ent they are not in position to do
this, with the big carnival so near at
hand and occupying their whole at
