MUNICIPAL TAX LEVY IS
FIXED BY THE CITY COUNCIL

The city council met in adjourned
session last Monday evening for the
consideration and establishment of the
MUNICIPAL tax levy for the current
year. The levy for all purposes was
fixed at IS mills, divided as follows:
\ Indebtedness fund, mills.
Sinking fund, mills.
Bond interest fund, % mills.
Sewer fund, ] mill.
Current expense fund, 81 mills.
Park fund, ! mill.
This levy will raise approximately
the same amount as last years levy,
the county assessor having made a
much lower average assessment than
heretofore, making slight raise in
levy necessary.
The present city council has been
most iudicious in expenditures, and
the conservative handling of the var
ious funds is putting Pullman finances
in better condition, and with the levy
of 81 for the current expense fund,
that fund, turned over by the previous
administration in a nearly bankrupt
condition, will be practically out OF
debt by the end of the next year.

Last year like excursion train
from Seattle came through here, but
as the letter making date for Pull
an miscarried, the visitors entered the
city unannounced, and some of the
coast citizens felt that our people had
sighted them, but they saw this
morning that Pullman is there with
the goods when she knows her guests
are coming.
A reception committee from the
commercial club left in two automo-
biles this morning for Moscow. where
it was expected the committee would
join the train and come on to Pullman
with them, but as the train left Mos
cow earlier than was announced here,
the autos got there just in time to see
the trail of smoke that the train left,
and the reception returned to this city
by auto, getting here before the train
left. Otherwise the plans for the re-
ception of the excursionists were
carried out as planned.

Washington will occur in Seattle, this
now being definitely settled Earlier
in the negotiations, it was the con-
tention of the W.S.C. management
that the University team should come
either to Spokane or Pullman, mas
much as last year W.S.C. went to
Seattle for the game. Rather than
cancel the game with the University,
McCroskey has agreed to again cross
the mountains with his team, the ad-
ditional agreement being that next
year the W.S.C. football management
shall name the date and the place for
the game with the Western Washing
ton institution.
Coach Walter Rheinschield is now
in Pullman and the squad is out for
practice. All the oldtimers are not
back, but there is much new material
at hand, all of which is fairly good.
H. E. Goldsworthy, right end, is out
by graduation, leaving Foran and
Galbraith to contest for his place.
Miner, left end, will not be in the
game this year, and it is not yet GER
tain that George Hardy will be back
in school to take this position, or that
the conference rules will permit him
to take it if he does return. Mont
gomery, of the W team, will probably
fill this position. In the backfeld,
Jerry Nissen Will not return to his po-
sition at left half, so far as is now
known, leaving Ned Cheeley, a new
man of some promise, and Coohn, of
the '0l team, to contest for that posi-
tion. R. M. RAIDER will return to his
position at full.
1t is too early in the season to state
of what qualities the W.S.C. team
will consist this year, but it seems
that it will be much lighter in the
line than last year, and it will GER
tainly lack in speed on the ends and
in the backfeld, unless new material
developes. Miner and Goldsworthy
are gone from both ends, and Nissen
is lost from the backfeld Bryan
will not return to school this year. so
Rheinschield will have to build up q
new quarterback, with nothing of a
known quantity in sight.

STATE COLLEGE FOOTBALL SCHEDULE FOR 1908.

November 21-Whitman College, at
Pullman.
December 5-Carlisle Indians, at
Spokane mot defnite.)
The above is the seasons football
schedule for the State College, revised
and up-to-date.
That the State College football
eleven will be busy during the coming
season is made evident by the schedule
of games stated above, which were
announced by Manager J. H. MQCros-
key, of the Crimson and Gray eleven.
Lately it has been found that it will
be practically impossible to meet the
University of St. Louis team, in ST.
Louis, and the Carlisle Indians in Spo-
kane. McCroskey today said that if
1t were choice between the two, Car
Isle would have the preference. It is
quite certain that one or the other of
the big games will be played and now
the chances seem to favor Carlisle.
This week the local management re-
ceived word from the University of
Colorado team, stating that the latter
eleven would play the st, Vincent,
California, team during December,
and asking if game could be arranged
with W.S.C., which could be played
either in Spokane or Pullman. Owing
to the heavy schedule already arranged
it is doubtful if Manager McCroskey
can make room for the Colorado game
but this will be done, if possible. The
matter is now under discussion.
The game with the University of

will be extended in space principally,
the present equipment being adequate
to handle the most serious cases. In

rooms on the third floor, and possibly
on the second. All three floors will
be fitted up with modern baths. steam
heat, and other necessary accessories
of hospital work.
The first floor of the hospital will
be used exclusively for medical cases.
The second will be occupied by the
surgical cases, and the third floor will
be used for the nurses home, and hos

the others, and this one may be on

will include all the general principles
and care of the sick, surgical nursing,

The nurses will reside at the hos

board, lodging. and laundry to GER

first half as Juniors: during the Sec
ond half they will be expected to per
form any duty assigned to them, either
to act as a senior or head nurse in the
hospital. or to be used for private
cases.

HUSBAND MYSTIFIED
BYSUDDEN DEATH OF
WIFE BY PARALYSIS
ANOTHER'S AFFLlCTION Is
CONFIDENTIAL
Had Been Well Until She Visited Sick

Her

Was the death of Mrs. Matilda L.
Beardsley, who was stricken with
paralysis soon after becoming aware of
the condition of the woman whom her
sister was nursing and who died shortly
before Mrs. Beardsley passed away,
merely a coincidence, or was 1t due to
some mysterious influence connected
with the affiiction of the other woman
Mrs Beardsley husband is unable to
answer the question.
Mrs. Beardsley went to visit her sis
ter, Mrs. d. Walker 1915 East Six
teenth street, who was nursing Mrs
Florence Swartzel of Pasadena. Mrs.
Swartzel was suffering with paralysis
of the right side.
Soon after entering the home and
learning of the condition of Mrs Swart
eel, Mrs. Beardsley was seized with
paralysis which affected her left side.
She grew worse rapidly, so rapidly she
fell to the floor of the hallway and had
to be carried to her bed.
Mrs SwartzePs condition failed to
improve, and she died Sunday. Mrs.
Beardsley also grew worse, and 1t was
evident she would not live long. She
died Friday morning.
Funeral services over the body OF
Mrs. Beardsley were held yesterday aft
ernoon from the undertaking estab-
lishment of Overholtzer & Mills, inter
ment being made in Rosedale ceme-

TOURIST TRAINS
BRING HUNDREDS
CROWDS PACK STATIONS AND
VICINITY
RAILROADS INTO CITY ADD TO
EQUIPMENT
Seventy-five Cars from Chicago Over
One Road Are on Their Way to
the Coast Loaded to
Capacity

Many happy reunions of old-time
friends and relatives were seen and
many glad welcomes were extended to
eastern people, taking their first
glimpse of the Angel city, when the
tourist trains came whistling and ring
ing to Los Angeles yesterday.
Within few minutes after the ar
rival at the First street station of the
Salt Lake overland, which carried
seven tourist sleepers and three chair
cars, in addition to baggage and dining
cars and it's regular standard sleeper,
the block was literally packed with
visitors and with those who had come
here to make their future homes.
Between IL o'clock in the morning
and o'clock in the afternoon four
trains. filled with colonists rolled into
the Santa Fe La Grande station. No.
was composed of only one s1ction,
but the other three trains were run
as Section 1.
The overland train on the Salt Lake
road left Salt Lake city last night in
three sections and three sections also
will make up tonight's train from that
city. Hundreds of persons are expect
ed to reach Salt Lake City tomorrow
night, having left Chicago, st. Louis
and other eastern points yesterday.
Saturday was the last day of the col
onist rates and seventy-five cars left
Chicago via the Burlington route.
"These figures" said w. w. Elliot,
Los Angeles agent for the Burlington,
"do not include trains from st. Louis.
Several more cars may have been Or
dered since the last advices received
here"
The Southern Pacific also is doing
big business over it's various lines,
but probably the Golden State limited,
coming from Chicago by way of Ell
Paso, and the Sunset express from New
Orleans, are bringing larger crowds
than any other S. 2. trains.

MEN ENGAGED FOR WORK
Civil Engineer Charged with Hiring
Surveying Crew for Nevada, TAX
ing Money Deposits and
Skipping

D. J. Campbell, surveyor and civil
engineer, was arrested and booked at
the central station on warrant charg-
ing him with obtaining money by false
pretenses. He arrived here from Rhyo-
lite, New, last March and at once adj
rtised for surveying crew to go to
Nevada.
1t is charged Campbell stated to all
applicants that he desired transit and
chain men, swampers, woodchoppers
and laborers He hired full crew, it
is alleged, and compelled all the men
engaged to sign an agreement to re-
main on the job at least six months.
Then. as an evideRce of good faith, he
is said to have compelled them to de-
posit from $5 to $1o, the deposits being
graded according to the salary prom
ised.
Immediately after receiving the de-
posits Campbell disappeared, it is al
legged. Last night one of the men who
had given Campbell money saw him on
the street and pointed him out to Pa
