ST. SWITHIN'S DAY.

10 the Editor of the Evening Star:
When does st. Swithin's Day come
and what is the legend concerning it?
j.. d. G.
lit comes July Is. st. Swithin was a
tutor of King Alfred and Bishop OF
Winchester. The monks wished to bury
him in the chancel of the minister, but
the bishop d directed that his body
should be inferred under the open vault
of heaven. Finding the monks resolved
to disobey his injunction, he sent a
heavy rain on July 10, the day arranged
for the funeral ceremony, in conse-
quence of which it was deferred from
day to day for forty days. The monks
then %bethought them of the saints in
junction, and prepared to inter the
body in the church yard. st. Swithin
smiled his appreciation by sending a
beautiful sunshiny day in which all the
robes of the hierarchy might be dis
played without the least ear of being
injured by untimely and untoward
showers. From this comes the sugges-
ton that if it rains on st, Swithin's
Day it will rain for forty days there
after.-Ed.1

NEW SCHEDULE
FOR STREET CARS
TRACTION COMPANY PROMISES
TRANSFERS AND GOOD SER
VICE.

Beginning Saturday morning the
Walla Walla Valley Traction company,
operating the street car system O..
Walla Walla, will inaugurate a new
schedule on all their tracks and will
| issue transfers from one line to an
other.
| Three lines will be operated. The
first will start from Clinton and Whit
man streets, will go around the loop
| on ISaacS and Boyer avenues, past
Whitman college, down Main, out Cher
ry and to College Place. This will be
half hour service, the cars turning
over the same track.
| The second line starts from the O.
R. & N. depot, runs up Second and out
| Whitman to Pleasant street. This is a
half hour service.
The third line runs from Prospect
Heights and the cemetery past the
fair grounds, in on Second, down Main
and out to the penitentiary. AS is the
case with the other lines, this will be
half hourly service.
All these lines pass Main and Sec
| OuO SlIett, WHICH Will De maze the
transfer point, and the only transfer
point of the system.
One thing which is noticeable about
the schedule is that the city cars now
run to College Place and transfers will
be granted to that place the same as to
other points and for the same price, five
cents, as to any part of the city proper.
This latter change will make a
slight difference in the running of the
| interurban cars. These will run eX-
press, that is, they will not make any
stops, to Twin Grove. Points between
here and Twin Grove must be reached
| by the local cars. The service will be
| hourly
Just what the schedule will be and on
| what hours the cars will run, has not
yet. been determined but the officials
of the company are working on the
time table and will have it ready with
| in few days.

CANDIDATES

DECLARATIONS FOR COUNTY OF.
FICES TO BE FILED TO-
MORROW.

County Auditor J. N. McCaw will re-
ceive entries for the grand November
free-for- all tomorrow morning and for
thirty days thereafter. Under the law
declarations of candidacy for the Sep
TENDER primaries must be filed not
earlier than sixty nor later than thirty
days before the date of the primaries.
There does not seem to be any undig-
nified scramble for first place on the
ticket in this county, and it is not be-
lieved that any line will be formed in
front of the auditors office tonight At
least several of the candidates today
stated that they would not take steps
toward forming a line and would simp-
ly file their declarations when they got
around to it. 1t is probable, however,
that several of the candidates will not
allow any grass to grow under their
feet ana the indications are that there
VIII be a large number Of declarations
filed tomorrow. In Seattle, it is re-
ported that 55 men, representing vari-
Gus candidates, have been in line for
several days in order to reap whatever
benefit may be derived from having
the name of their candidate first on the
list of those who aspire to their respec-
tive positions.

the court house will probably be rep

tomorrow. County Auditor ]. NJ McCaw

Deputy j. Carter Smith, it is said. will

Prosecuting Attorney Otto B. Rupp
will also file his declaration Of caadi-
dacy tomorrow or the next day. While
no definite statement has been made
TO that effect, it seems to be general
ly understood that Attorney Everett J.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube
is inflamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can b.,
taken out and this tube restored to it,
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh. which is
nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
