Miss Kate Mickler, who for three
months past has been visiting her moth
er and sister atsFensndina, has decided
to make her home with them in the fu-
ture. Her sister, Mrs. Dyall Of Fernan-
dina, has just moved into her nice new
home, and is to have her mother and
Miss Kate live with her. For a number
of years Miss Mickler has made her
home with her brother and sister, Mr..
r. H. Miekler and Mrs. Tillie Temple
Of this city, and they part with her very
reluctantly; but the mother and other
sister claim her now, and 50 her family
and many friends here have to
give her up. Miss Kate must not forget
her Tallahassee friends, nor fail to visit
them occasionally.

Not So Funny.

A number of boys with a mistaken
idea of what constitutes fun raised a
disturbance at the tent show being held
here by travelling aggregation Mon
day evening, and when the marshal
undertook to do his duty in protecting
the showman's property, some of the
disturbers struck the officer in the head
with rock. The marshal at once
gathered seven of the young men in
front of him, and at the muzzle of his
revolver marched them to the city jail,
where they remained under lock and
key till toward morning. when they
obtained bonds for their appearance in
the police court Tuesday.
One of the bunch was found guilty
by jury Tuesday, and a fine of $5
and costs vas assessed against him,
whereupon five others came forward
and entered pleas of guilty. when the
same dose was meted out to them.

Pullman High Defeats
johnson.

Probably the last baseball game of
the season for the local high school
team was played Friday afternoon and
won by them. The game went thirteen
innings and the local boys finally won,
after hard game, by score of Z to
8. This is the first game the local boys
have won this season. The team
played as one man and very few errors
were made The score was close all
through the game, neither side having
any decided advantage at any stage.
Johnson has been used to a snap in
Pullman, but this time they met their
Waterloo, finding the boys in better
condition than before. A very good
crowd was present and considerable
amount of money is thought to have
been taken in. There were severa
carriage loads of students present from
Johnson.

HERALD GETS PRINTING
Commissioners Award Con.
tract for County Printing
to This Office

The Herald was the successful bidder
for the county printing of Whitman
county for the year commencing July
1st, 1908, before the commissioners in
session at Colfax last Tuesday. The
only other competitor for the contract
was the Colfax Commoner, which had
offered bid on alternate years with
the Colfax Gazette at an arranged
price.
The Herald publisher has contracted
with a number of Whitman county
newspapers to supply them with a
ready print" containing the county
records, commissioners proceedings,
and other county news and advertis-
ing. and it was to secure the superior
circulation guaranteed by this arrange
ment that the Herald's bid was readily
accepted, and this paper named the
official newspaper for the next year.

Rotation of Crops.

Wheat will always remain the chief
product of the Palouse country, but
our land is becoming too valuable to
use it alone for wheat growing. To
get fullest return from the soil it
must be cultivated more intensively,
and rotation of crops must take the
place of summer following. Acre for
acre, the Inland Empire is capable of
producing double the value it now pro-
duces, and the demonstration" under
the direction of the experiment sta
tion staff are fast bringing about the
new order of things. 1t was but few
years ago when the bunch grass plains
of the Palouse were covered by count
less herds of cattle and cheap Indian
cayuses, but the change that has
brought about their displacement, and
the total annihilation of the cayuse
bands, is no more marked than the
change now taking place in farming
ideas and methods.

Pullman's famous gerrymander or
dinance had the poison extracted from
its fangs Thursday night when the
council, by four to three vote. passed
ordinance No. 168, providing for the
election of ward councilmen by the
city at large instead of by wards as
heretofore. The original warding or
dinance, No. 80, was followed by or
dinance No. SO. which provided for the
election of the councilmen by ward
vote, and when the rewarding, or ger
rymander ordinance, was passed, this
method of procedure was unchanged,
it being thought by the promoters of
the gerrymander that two out of the
three wards could be kept safely
wet" even though a majority of the
voters of the city thought otherwise.
The law specifies that ward lines can
not be changed oftener than once in %
months, but leaves with the council
the fixing of the way in which the
councilmen from the wards shall be
elected.
The new ordinance provides that
there shall be elected each fall four
councilmen. one to represent the city
at large, and one to represent each of
the three wards, but all the city will
vote for all the councilmen, so that
the majority will in truth rule.
All the members of the council were
present at the meeting, and consider
able business was transacted. The
treasurer's monthly report showed a
material improvement in the condition
of the city funds. there being $481. 10
less outstanding against the water and
current expense funds than thirty days
ago.
Chairman Fulmer. of the finance
committee, made a most interesting
report on the expenditures from the
current expense fund for the two years
covered by the period from Jan. l,
1906, to Jan. /. 1908. during which
time the fund had been drawn upon for
approximately 500, 200. The expendi-
lures for the two years were as fol-

NEAT ARREST OF
 FUGITIVE NEGRO
Liberty's Sweet Song Might Still Be Ringing In His Ears, But His
 Feet Had To Move.

Tom Pierson, the negro who as- saulted J. J. Smith in the Natatorium several weeks ago, was arrested in Chattanooga and brought to Birming- ham last night by Deputy Sheriff Lee Higdon. The details of his arrest are interesting.
 The negro hit MT. Smith over the head with a piece of pipe inf1icting serious wounds. He disappeared im- mediately after the affair and no trace of him could be found.
 Deputy Sheriff Lee Higdon was in Chattanooga last week. where he went to get Milton Sheffield, one of the ne- groes who escaped from the county jail. While there he went to bar Der shop and seated himself in a chair. Just as he sat down one of the negroes in the shop looked at him, then dash sd out the door and down the street. His- don jumped out of the chair and fol- lowed him, catching him after a block s chase. He then recognized the negro as the one wanted for assaulting MT. Smith.
 A fugitive warrant was sworn out for the negro's arrest and the negro placed in the Chattanooga jail. Higdon re- turned to Birmingham with Sheffield, then returned to Chattanooga and upon receipt of the proper requisition papers brought Pierson to Birmingham.
