The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1907-09-05

Walla Walla Friday. Sept. Is, develops
the idea upon which he is now work
ing he will not emily be one of the
foremost inventors in the country, but
he will be the envy Of every other
train boss" in the circus business.
1t is "Shanty's" business to see that
the special train which transports the
Gentry Brothers shows from town to
town and from city to city, leaves In
good order and arrives on time, and
long association with the railroad end
of the circus business has given him
a mechanical turn of mind, from which
it begins to appear that he is to re-
ceive a handcome profit.
Now and then "Shanty" foregoes his
afternoon sleep and spends his time
around the lot" or in 1.-The big top"
and he has noted upon these occa-
sions the enormous amount of energy
expended by Prof. Crigler and his
military band during each per-
formance. He has also taken note OF
the same expenditure of energy in
manufacturing music for the Gentry
parade each morning.
IF l could just take that energy
after those wind TANNERS get through
with it," cogitated "Shanty", the other
day. II could have enough horsepower
to pull the whole dummed train and
the show would save lot of money
In a burst of confidence the usually
accommodating "Shanty" discovered
his idea to Alvah Randle, expert ac-
countant and auditor with the Gentry
show, and the twain have put their
heads together with the following re-
suits:
Placing a conservative estimate on
the actual average energy required to
produce a middle register note on
brass musical instrument, and null
tiplying this by the number of notes
uttered" by the % pieces in the GeL-
try shows band at each performance
the expert mathematician arrives at
the conclusion that the Crigler band
invests about 5000 foot pounds in each
performance or about 10000 in each
days work, not including the 5000 re-
uuired to "furnishemusic for the par
ade," which is part of the daily con-
tract Now you see," explains SHAN
ty," IF 1 figure out some way of pick
ing UP this energy and Transforming
it, there's no two ways about it, but z
can practically pull that train every
night, and, anyhow, I can cut the
transportation bills in two. All need
is the working capital"
"Shanty" is thinking seriously of
his idea to M. w. Savage
of the International Stock Food COM
pany and present owner of the Gentry
shows. In the meantime he is making
sleeps eyes at any one pointed out to
him as "a local capitalist and the
moned gentlemen in this section of the
country are permitted to act accord
ingly.
I'll let the right guy in on this good
declared "Shanty'' and he has
the reputation of being man of hip
word. --

1t is now about lime for organized
capital and organized grafters to come
to the aid of Senator Borah, circulate
petitions in his behalf, denounce the
government in general and the judi
ciary in particular, and proclaim that
Borah is being "railroaded" to the
penitentiary and that there is no such
thing as justice in this country. If he
should be acquitted-well it is hard
" probable that there will be lot of
street parades and demonstrations.
But if he is convicted. there will be
rejoicing in the Haywood-Pettibohe-
Moyer-Adams camp.

We believe it is safe to say that
Walla Walla has more men of means.
who are enjoying the comforts of life
with no particular effort, than any
other city in the state of Washington.
There is nothing wrong about thatl
They made their money honestly anu
are entitled to enjoy it's benefits and
the consequent PLEASURE and happiness
it brings according to their own sweet
wills without being disturbed by any
one. However they have some excel
lent opportunities for doing some sub
stantial boosting for Walla Walla and
they could enjoy it besides benefiting
themselves and others.

If you have your winters supply ,of
know you and yours are going to be
able to keep warm although you may
have paid well for the fuel. If prices
drop, you will perhaps wish you had
waited, but if they go up, or if, as has
been the case before, the dealers have
no fuel to sell this coming winter you
will consider yourself about the wisest
man in town. What's a fellow going
to do. anyway? Dealers say: Buy
now; there is going to be a famine"
Others say: Wait; the famine bust
ness is a bluff to get your money" AS
a rule, it is a pretty good bluff for a
man hates to think Of freezing.

With one of the largest grain crops
in the history of the state and with
prospects for excellent prices, these re-
cent rains were beginning to give the
situation rather gloomy aspect.
However the sun is shining again, as
it can shine only in the Walla Walla
valley, and the farmers are happy. In
fact We are all happy for when the
farmer suffers everybody is stung.

After an unsuccessful attempt to steal the child, she sued out a writ for its possession, but later abandoned 1t. and Parker, fearing another attempt at kid mapping, removed with the little girl to Columbia, Tenn.

 GOOD WORK.
Chairman Johnson Says He Has Found Many Montgomery Persons i'm Need of Charitable As-
 sistanee.

Two car loads of coal have been re- ceived in Montgomery by the local Aerie, Fraternal Order of Eagles, for among the deserving poor.
 Berto H. JohnsoIt, Chairman of the Committee having the distribution of the coal in charge, began delivering the coal yesterday. He delivered five lots of the fuel to families in destitute cir- cumstancs and he expects to continue the distribution until the coal has been exhausted.
 Tt would surprise you to see the real Restitution in our city" said MT. John son late yesterday afternoon after he had finished his days work. Already l have come upon several pitiable cases of poverty. I call to mind a residence visited on King Street this morning, There I found a widow and several lit- tie children, poverty stricken. They were so glad to get the coal, ,>and she told me that if a cold spell were to reach Montgomery tonight she would not have 8 warm place to put her chil- dren to bed. The condition of the fam fly most assuredly affected me.
 Now, this coal will be given free to deserving poor people. Anyone desir- ing fuel. may inform me or any mem Der of the Committee. The case will be investigated and if the case Is worthy we will certainly provide the coal.
 "The two cars which we received con- tain about seventy-two tons. There Is one more car to come which will run the total up to about 100 tons."
 The members of the Committee serv- ing with MT. Johnson are J. W. Smith. W. H. Murphy, J. H. Screws and T. J Mattox.

Privats Wand of Battery Hero of
 Dizzy Height
He and Lieuteaant Todd Saved the stste's War Department From an Embarrassinx situation and
 Were Appiauded.

Private Ward of Battery "B'," Mont gomery Field Artillery. yesterday climbed the slender flag pole on the dome of the State Capitol 15o feet above the Capitol lawn, and fixed the broken flag halyard which had seriously dis turbed the State War Department The State flag has to be flying over the Capitol during the session of the Leg 'islature and right on the eve of the meeting of the lawmakers the halyard snapped and brought consternation to Acting Secretary of War D. w. Mo- Iver. At this juncture Lieutenant George H. Todd and Private Ward of Battery "B' stepped in and saved the honor of the State. There was glory enough in the enterprise to go around. Lieutenant Todd held the pole. He also bowed to the crowd which applauded the feat and was about to make a speech but somebody interposed.
 Being a stickler for military law and military customs Acting Secretary or War McIver knew that the State flag had to be flying when the legislators got to work tearing down the Treasury surplus, When the distressing news was brought that the breeze of Tues day had snapped the flag rope on the dome MT. McIver hastened to consult the State military law to find provi- sion which would cover the case. He was immediately relieved to find that the Acting Secretary of War himself was not required to climb the pole in his own proper person and with his own hands fix the halyards But the regulations plainly showed that it was up to him to get somebody to do the job.
 Battery s.B" can furnish an expert in any line. so it was natural for the Actins Secretary to consult Lieutenant Todd. Could he find man that would undertake the dangerous job Sure Mike. know the very man." said Todd.
 So yesterday morning the detail from Battery "B'' was at the Capitol bright and early. Lieutenant Todd and Pri- vate Ward climbed the circular stairs inside of the dome until they emerged

S. J. Russell, a we'll known Mont gomery County farmer, Tillman J. Rus sell, his son. 22 years old, and Tom Farmer. 22 years old. the son of his neighbor, are held at the county jail on the charge of murder. The three men are accused of killing Harvey Toles, a negro, on Christmas Day.
 Warrant for the arrest of the three farmers was sworn to before Justice B. c. Young by Sallie Toles, mother of the dead negro, and 1t was executed by Sheriff Claude Mizell who arrested Russell and his son and young Farmer at their homes near Grady. The dep- uty sheriff brought his prisoners to Montgomery yesterday morning.
 Justice Young has set the preliminary trials of the three men for Friday morning. Until that time they will be detained at the county jail.
 The body of Harvey Toles was found in a vacant dwelling house near Grady on Christmas Day. He had been shot through the head with a shotgun load ed with bird shot. A brother of the negro had formerly lived in the house where the body was found
 Until the preliminary trial It will not be known what evidence the State has to connect the two Russells and young Farmer with the crime. although 1t is said there may be sensational de- velopments in connection with the case
 The elder Russell declined politely to discuss the charge made against him when he was seen yesterday at the jail by a representative of The Advertiser He said he was born in Beat Is, had lived all of his life In Montgomery | County and believed he was regarded as a good citizen. The three men passed the day loung | ing in the otfice of the jailer. The, did not seem depressed by the seriouI charge which has been preferred against them.
