BIG PARADEs
FOR THIS WEEK
ODD FELLOWS, ELkS AND EAGLES
HAVE EXCELLENT PROGRAMS
SCHEDULED.

With the big parade by the Odd Fell
lows tomorrow night the demonstra-
tions by the local fraterni:ies who are
taking parts in the fair program will
begin. In line tomorrow hight will be
two bands. the Fourteenth cavalry and
the Eagles band Canton Walla Walla
No. 1, Patriarchs Militant, fifty strong,
in full dress uniform, and 500 Odd
Fellows. And odd fellows some Of
them will certainly be if plans are car
ried out. The Odd Fellows promise
the largest parade of the week which
will start from Odd Fellows Temple
on Alder street at promptly 1880.
Thursday night the Elks will own
the town and he things they are go
ing to do and the stunts they will pull
off will give the Walla Wallans and
visitors something to talk and laugh
about until the time for the Lext
fair rolls around. The antlerei herd
will give no information as to what is
going to happen but they promise to
entertain the thousands and that is a
sufficient guarantee that the people
will get their moneys worth ard that
1--WE won't go home until morning"
Friday night the Eagles will scream
and SO will the crowds that throng the
streets to watch the parade, for it will
be a dandy, as these feathered screech-
ers are noted for never doing things by
halves and they will cut a swath on
this occasion.
For a week of fun and entertainment
this promises to be the greatest in the
history of the Garden City and it is
believed that Old Jupe will be so
busy watching the events and enjoying
himself that he will entirely forget his
sprinkliLg can. Anyway the Elks are
going to make him laugh himself sick
and he will not be able to get in his
work Indications are that he is al
ready smiling in anticipation of the
frolic and that he will not spoil his
own enjoyment.

WANTED A DENTIST.
Pharaoh Suffered With Severe Tooth :
ache Before Exodus.

BERLIN, Oct. ia learned Egyp-
mummy, declares that the Pharoah,
who ruled when the Children of Israel
We're delivered from the Egyptian

dured so angered Pharaoh, so hard
ened his heart" as the book of Exodus
has it, that it was necessary to inflict
the plaques on his realm before he
would consent to let Moses and the
ISraelite hosts go.
In a word had there been good
dentists in Egypt in those days there
would be no Jewish passover now.

MONUMENT FOR
OLD STEPT0E
WALLA WALLA COMMITTEE AP.
POINTED TO RAISE PORTION
OF FUNDS.

AS the first move in vigorous cam
on old Steptoe battle field, committees
have been appointed in all the differ

will work separately, the object of each
being to raise a certain amount of
money toward the monument fund In
ties are fp-operating-th Daughters
of the American Revolution and the
Inland Empire. Historical conference,
the latter organization composed
mostly of pioneer residents of this sec
ton who wish to perpetuate the early
history of the Inland Empire, says a
Spokane report.
The monument project was first
thought of by the historical conference,
the G. A. r. of this city later deciding
to joir. in the work. On the committee
for Spokane, which will probably be
asked to raise the sum of $500 toward
the fund, are the following: George
S. Brooke, chairman, representing the
Sons of the American Revolution;
William G. Trimble, for the Inland
Empire Historical conference: General
T. r. Tannatt, (retired). for the United
States army and DR.. J. E. Candy, for

kins, and at Pullman the chairman of
the committee, is Professor w. G..
Beach, the other members hames not
yet having been announced.
None of these committees has met as
vet, and so few details of their plans
are known, but some of the general
plans have been announced from this
city. 1t is the intention of the peo-
pie in charge to appOrtiOn a certain
amount of work to each of the differ
ent cities, giving each a definite
amount of money to raise. 1t is thought
that Spokane will raise $500. Walla
Walla $500, Sprague and Colfax 5000
each, and proportional amounts to the
smaller towns. ROsalia'S share will
be the securing of four acres Of ground
on the site of the battlefield, to be used
for a park or enclosure around the
monument.
Some few plans have been made as
to the nature and construction of the
monument. but these have not been
officially approved, and are not made
public by the committee. In addition

Yesterday was the biggest opening
day in the history of the Walla Wal
la County Fair association, and while
only a portion of the exhibits and dis
plays were prepared to view, the
grounds were fairly alive with a happy
pleasure seeking throng. The weather
was ideal, and even the pioneers who
take pride in remembering the weather
conditions as far back as 81 are filled
with contentment and predict good
weather for the remainder of the
week.
The local lovers of the turf are
equally as well satisfied, for yesterday
will long be remembered as the rec
ord breaking day for the mile running
race. Never before was there such en-
thusiasm shown by Walla Wallans,
and as the purple cap of Kid Clark
flashed beneath the wire, they knew
that the best horse had won, and that
it was Cabin. With a mighty roar the
great crowd arose, almost in unison.
Hats were cast high in the air and the
name, Cabin, broke from the throats of
the excited crowd. 1t was a great race
for Cabin has lowered the local track
record from 1:27 1-2 to 1925.
The other races, while less exciting,
were good, and at all times did the
bookies have their hands full attending
to the crowd of men and the betting
ring.
Concerts Arranged.
One of the pleasing features of the
afternoon races was the excellent mu-
sic discoursed by the Eagles band of
this city. The selections rendered be-
tween the different events were great
ly enjoyed by the spectators, and the
fair management is being congratulate
ed upon securing local musicians for
this years fair. The band will give sa-
cred concerts in the pavilion at the
race track Sunday afternoon and even

arranged splendid program for these

Band Music Was Great.

The music furnished by the cavalry
band during it's initial concert at the
fair grounds was one of the pleasant
surprises which greeted the fair visi-
tors last evening. The program was
specially arranged for the accession and
the selections consisted of a pleasing
variety of music.
Today wOrkmen are still busy COM
pleting the booths in the merchants
pavilion, and this evenig the big build
ing will be complete and ready to greet
the throngs of people expected to at
tend the concerts.

he is also on the program for We'd
nesday evening. The cavalry band will
also furnish music, a complete change
of program having been prepared for
each evening.
The big stock parade this afternoon
was witnessed by thousands of people
and was generally considered one of
the winning features of the fair.

To Aid Jackson.

Rev. H. B. Johnston Tuesday re-
ceived letter from Jackson asking
that the people OF Union City get
up petition and get behind our
Senator and help Jackson rid her
self of the open saloon. Bro. John
ston and Capt. Harry T. Robinson
took whirl around the square and
in very short time procured the
names of several hundred good cit
liens to petition. 1t could have
been made lengthy document, and
would have been had it been deemed
necessary. Hon. f. M. Mckee is
in the Senate from this district and
Hons. Geo. Kenney and Tom Cor
don are in the Lower House. They
will get behind the Jackson charter
bill and shove her over the grade,
Pope or no Pope regardless of
the senatorial courtesy usually ex-
tended the local member. Senator
Pope is doubtless smart man,
but his people have spoken. They
held an election. The white peo-
pie voted and they polled about one
thousand '.dry" votes out of pos
sible voting strength of fifteen hun
dred and he ought to abide by the
result and get in line. Jackson's
Senator, however. is not satisfied.
He says it was not legal election
and the negroes were not allowed
to vote. This Is true. 1t was
merely white primary. The menu
bers of the Senate should take hold
of the matter and run over Senator
Pope rough shod. II Representa-
tive is going to expect and demand
respect he should at least act de-
cent.

Whipping the Editor.

Pennsylvania legislature seems
determined to muzzle the press.
Having repealed the Governor Pen.
uypacker's libel law, the salons
have for consideration now bill
which is somewhat novel in juris-
prudence. The idea is to substi-
tute the big stick for the muzzle.
The bill in effect authorizes ag-
grieved citizens to whip the editor
without being liable to legal PEN
atty. It expressly provides that
the defendant in any suit for as
sault and battery, or in any civil
action for damages, shall be acquit-
ted if he can prove that within a
year the person assaulted wrote or
published any false or defamator y
matter concerning the defendent,
or any member of the family, or his
6ance. The last mentioned ground
Of immunity emphasizes the feature
Of brain storm on which theslegis-
lation is obviously founded. It
marks an advance along the new
line which has been opened in our
jurisprudence, in that it does not
propose to leave effects of brain
storm to the protection Of the I'M
written law when it is an affair be-
tween the editor and the indignant
subscriber.
The Baltimore News cities one
fatal defect to the bill. No special
provision is made to meet the posi-
bility that when the trouble comes
the editor may do the whipping.
The New refers to the celebrated
fight described By John Phoenix.
He triumphantly related how he
got his opponent down on top Of
him and held him fast BY firmly in
serting bis nose between the other
fellows teeth. But all those avail
ing themselves of the proposed
Pennsylvania law might not be SO
easily satisfied as to the character
Of the satisfaction obtained. Knox

wherever introduced.
O. Mr.. Coopers theory that half Of all human ills
is caused by stomach trouble and the wonderful sue
