FINE PROGRAM LAST NIGHT.
Eagles Make a Hit With Big Walla
Wala Audience.

One of the best programs or the
season was rendered by the Eagles
band at their weekly concert on the
court house lawn last night. Every
number was heartily received and en-
cored. The special numbers were ex-
ceptionally well rendered and added
much to the general tone OF the pro-
gram.
From the opening humber, Sousa 5
Hail to the Spirit of Liberty to the
"Burgomaster," which closed the en-
tertainment, the audience was kept
interested and cheered each numper
to an encore.
In the duet from I'll Trovatore,
Messrs. Smith and Jennings made the
hit of the evening, their instruments
blending perfectly. Another NUMBER
which called forth the approval OF the
hearers was 1.-The Old Kentucky
Home" with variations.
The band is in fine shape and COM
pares favorably with any similar Or
ganization.

DOES TAM o'sHANTER STUNT
OFFICER ROFF AND ROAMING
COW CREATE DISTURBANCE
IN NORTH END.

Patrolman Rolf, who comprises the
local squad of mounted police, took a
ride last night, which in comparison,
makes the little canter accredited to
one Tam O'Shanter seem insipidly un-
interesting.
The occasion for Roff's undue eques-
trian activity arose from the reckless
manner in which cow which Rolf was
endeavOring to cOrall, was roaming
about over the landscape, lawns and
lumber piles.
The bovine seemed to have no per-
sonal choice as to where it led the chase
and rambled around over the greater
part of the north end of town, even
attempting to enter a house. before it
was finally caught and cOralled.
This morning another scene occurred
when Rolf took the animal from where
he had cached it for the night to the
pond.

CLUB
BARS HAYWOOD
CHICAGO WRITERS OBJECT TO
ASSOClATlNG WITH SEcRE-
TARY OF FEDERATION.

A special dispatch from Chicago to
the Denver Republican of August IL,
says:
William D. Haywood, secretary of
the Western Federation of Miners,
visited the Chicago Press club today
and some Of the members are much
wrought up about it.
An emphatic protest addressed to
the board of directors. was prepared
at once and circulated for signatures.
A vote of censure is asked for the
members who brought Haywood into
the club. This will be considered
at the boards meeting next Friday
night.
Considerable commotion was caused
during the noon lunch hour, when
Haywood appeared at the club in
company with Seymour Stedman and
F. Roderus. He was introduced to a
number and was greeted in various
ways. Stedman and Roderus then
took their guest to table in corr.er,
where they had lunch. That was all
there was to it until late in the
afternoon, when Henry D. Baker, Ed
ward Everett Young and some of the
other members got to talking about
their visitor. They expressed consid-
cradle indignation and decided ac-
cording to Mr.. Young. to put the
make them decide if such a thing
could be done, whether the majority
of the club like it or not
Mr.. Baker then prepared the follow
ing note to the directors
I'VE, the undersigned, respectfully
protest to the board of directors of the
Chicago Press club against the con-
taminatiOn of the club house precincts
by the presence of one w. D. Hay
wood, whom we believe to have been
the instigator of many atroc.ous mur-
ders, and who at least certainly is an
undesirable citizen. The fact of the
acquittal of Haywood does not vindi-
cate him in public opinion, nor rem
der him fit person to be allowed in
side our club house. We would ask
that a vote of censure be passed
against the men who were responsible
for bringing him into the club. In
making this request we would disclaim
any intention of criticising a member
for political opinions or socialistic
views"
Mr.. Baker said that the protest had
been signed by IL members and would
be placed before as many of the club
members as possible
1T is an insult to the Press club"
declared Mr.. Baker, that Haywood
should be forced into association with
it, Here, he is an outcast socially.
He escaped punishment for his mis-
deeds through a mere technicalitv
and now comes here expecting to be
lionized''

STIR UP ROW
SAVED FROM MOB VIOLENCE az
TIMELY ARRIVAL OF
POLICE.

Notice was given the family of
evangelists who have been conduct
ing evangelical services on the cor
ner of Fourth and Main streets for
some time past, that, though the har-
vest is ripe and reapers few, their
services would have to be dispensed
with so far as Walla Walla is con-
cerned.
1t was their method of cleaning
which was their undoir.g, for they
hoped to save the souls of their au-
dience by denouncing every creed
known to men and holding up their
own deductions of the Scripture as
the only true beacons for spiritual
guidance
The denunciations of all established
religion by the head of the family
who was the speaker last evening
aroused the crowd which surrounded
them and they were saved from per-
sonal violence only by the timely in
reference of the police.

KING ROASTS
WAREHOUSES;
DEPUTY GRAIN INSPECTOR, At
TACOMA, SAYS FARMERS
HAVE JUST KICK.

In the opinion of Deputy State
Grain Inspector S. S. King, the wheat
growers of the state have good cause
for complaint against the warehouse
men, who have just officially made
known the terms under which they
VIII accept the new crop. Mr.. King
thinks these terms. if continued, will
result in the farmers building and
experiment of the Farmers Supply
company. of Spokane, which is at
tempting this plan. during the past
year has built and equipped a number
of warehouses in different parts of the
wheat belt, he says has been success
full
The friction with the warehouse
men, Mr.. King thinks will also cause
many farmers to build granaries for
their own private use. In his recent
trip through the wheat belt Mr.. King
found a number of granaries so con-
structed in Benton county In both
the independent warehouse and the
private granary the wheat is handled
in bulk instead of in sacks, which
makes both the labor and expense
lighter
One of the terms against which Mr..
King found the farmers complaining
loudly on his recent visit to the
wheat belt is the increase from 1-2
t~ A II
the general belief has been, both
among farmers and warehouse men,
that 12 cents was a suitable charge.
as in many instances the wheat is
merely trucked through the house and
loaded into cars, with very light ex-
penSe of the house. But this in
creased cost gives the house still
greater advantage in purchasing over
Independent buyers or buyers not
connected with the warehouse trust,
who are compelled to add this charge
Of 2 IA cents to their price when bid
ding for the wheat. while the ware
house man can absorb the greater
portion of this charge and in this way
underbid his Independent competitor.
Another grievance of the farmers
against the new terms printed on the
contracts the farmers has to accept
for his wheat this season is that clause
in which the warehouse company re-
fuses to be responsible for weights and
grades except at the warehouse where
the receipts are issued. Mr.. King says
that this plan has been followed in
past years by the Puget Sound Ware
house company and the Pacific Coast
Elevator company in their handling of
wheat, and that it works injustice up
on the wheat growers. According to
the plan pursued, wher. the farmer
takes his grain to the warehouse he is
given a receipt for so many bushels
of a certain grade. When he sells
these receipts and the buyer receives

the body.
According to Mr.. Hillman, Gillian,
while holding one rObber at bay with
a revolver, was shot in the back Of
