HOUSE FULL Of
RATTLESNAKES

CONNELL, Wash, June o.
When he reaches under his bed for
his shoes in the morning H. N.
Stockett is liable to find himself
taking undue familiarities with a
rattlesnake, II he hears a thump-
ing at the door In the night it is
more than likely to be a RATHER
anxious to come in out of the cold.
His wife Is unable to cook enough
to eat lest the baby associate with
serpents while her eye Is on the
stove.
1t has become necessary to in
ject charge Of buckshot into any
thing that looks like a wrinkle in
the bed in order to safely enter
therein. Wherefore Stockett wants
government leave to abandon his
homestead near Skootenai springs
while he works in harvest. His
wife has a peculiar antipathy to
keeping house for snakes.
Nobody has been bit yet, al
though the snakes have exhibited
some objection to being elected
from the -four barrel and the baby's
bed. Stockett figures that if he
can earn enough this summer to
buy ammunition enough to last all
fall he may be able ito thin out
the snakes sufficiently, providing
he can get back to the place, to
move about the house and maybe
raise a little garden patch next
spring. Otherwise he will have to
let the rattlers have the home
stead.
Neither Stockett nor his family
are addicted to liquor. The snakes
are there. When they rattle in
chorus it sounds like tearing
shingles off the house.

TO
THROW BOMB

SEATTLE, June 22.-John Rip
linger, Seattle's fugitive ex-city
comptroller, who was alleged to
have embezzled 100000, has made
arrangements to return to Seattle.
He expects to be here September
/, 1908.
This is the information given out
by his attorney, Will H. Morris.
The decision of the superior
court declaring that the contrac-
tors. and not the city, were losers
of the money which the former Of
fetal is said to have embezzled
from the incomplete work" fund,
has, it is declared, obviated any
danger of criminal prosecution.
1t is highly improbable that the
contractors will attempt to bring a
criminal prosecution. They are
loath to discuss the present status
of the case.
"There hahs never been any
chance of criminal prosecution
against my client" declared Attor-
ney Morris. You can set your
mind at rest on that score.
"Riplinger is coming back to Sc
attic, and venture to say that he
will never face any criminal charge.
On the other hand, he is going to
completely vindicate himself. He
will give the people of Seattle the
surprise of their lives. When the
real truth is known about this case
well, there will be something do
ing"

WYKERT AND WORKMAN FINISHING IN A TIE AT DENVER

DENVER, June %. When

were in good condition, that being

RAINBOW BAZAAR

A pot of gold at the end of rain
bow is no new legend but one which
has been believed many generations
by the little folks and has remained
beautiful symbol through life, but
a rainbow and a real pot of gold,

public inspection. Every one can have
a piece, If not all, of the pot of gold
as a souvenir of the occasion.
When the women of Temple Baptist
church decided to give a bazaar early
in December, they had the thought
only of having an entertainment such
as they have held each year just be-
fore the Christmas time, but the pro-
ject has grown to such enormous pro-
portions that they are prepared to en-
terrain the entire public, or as many
of them as can find time to visit this
novel affair.
The Rainbow bazaar, as it will be
called and as the name suggests, will
be a series of booths representing the
seven prismatic colors of the rainbow,
and the pot of gold at the end of the
bow.
The ten circles of the Women's
union will have charge of the bazaar.
Seven of the circles will take the
seven DOOInS, ana the remaining Three
circles will serve the lunch, dinner and

popular young women school teachers
who, through the generosity of their
friends, will be given a free TRIP

will be both entertaining and instruc-
tive in the highest degree, and with

the right kind of education. The Herald
is going to send one dozen young lady
school teachers to this exposition. Six
of this number will be selected by the
vote of the people from Los Angeles
county, three being chosen from the
city proper and three from the coun-
ty at large. The other six will be
chosen. also by popular vote from
the following counties, one being taken
from each county: San Bernardino,
Orange, Santa Barbara, Riverside,
Kern and Ventura.
Who Is Most Popular?
Readers of The Herald will be given
the privilege of voting for the twelve
most popular young women who teach
school in the described territory, and
the friends of the instructors now have
a chance to show their appreciation
of the efficient work being done by
these daughters of the Golden State.
This trip to Seattle will be one of the
most pleasant outings ever given in the
west, and the teachers who prove to be
the most popular may look forward to
nothing but journey of pleasure with
The Herald. The trip given by this
newspaper will cover all expenses in
Guiding hotel accommodations, street
car rides and trips and all other
wishes in which the successful con-
testants may indulge while in Seattle.
Two Weeks Trip
The trip, which will be personally
conducted, will extend over a period
of two weeks and the winning con-
testants will leave Los Angeles after
school is out, thus allowing the teach
ers to relax their overstrained minds in
a joyous vacation after the arduous
work of the present school session.
The earlier the nominations are sent
in to The Herald the better chance
there will be for the election of the
nominee. The nominating coupon en-
titles the teacher nominated to 100
votes. One years subscription, paid
in advance. will entitle the teacher
nominated to 1000 votes.
Who are the fortunate ones?

FIRE AT FERTILIZER WORKS
THOUGHT TO BE lNcENDIARY

SAN BERNARDINo, Nov. 2S.-Fire
came near destroying the Blakely fer
tilizer works, in the eastern part of the
city, late last night. The blaze was
discovered in shed on one side of the
main building, and in a few minutes
more would have spread to the main
plant. AS it was, little damage was
done. The blaze is believed to have
been of incendiary origin, as the people
of that section of the city have made
numerous attempts to get the plant re-
moved because of the Objectionable
odors arising therefrom. All attempts,
hnwever have failed thus far.
