Dying: Ten-year-old son of w. B..
Moores Of this city.
On July 4 the Moores boy injured
his hand in shooting a toy pistol. The
burn occasioned no anxiety, as it
was very Slight and nothing serious
was thought of it until Friday when
symptoms of lOckjaw became mani
fest. Doctors in attendance have
given up all hope of saving the boys
life, and he is suffering intense
agony that nothing but death can re-
lieye.
In the case of Arthur Bauer. of
Ritzville, the lad received a powder
burn from a blank cartridge. The
next day he became i'll, suffered from
lockjaw and on the third day was
dead.
Harold Slorah, of North Yakima,
lived II days after wadding was fred
into the palm Of his hand by a toy
pistol. On the tenth day he was
taken sick, was seized with locks
and In few hours was dead.

The New Sheath Skirt Which Set
Paris Wild.

Told you so. They're here all right.
We knew they would be. It's a cold
day when Walla Walla isn't up to the
times and the weather is pretty hot
now.
What are we talking about? About
the directOire gown, the sheath skirt.
The much talked of garments are here
and are on display in the local stores.
Just who will wear them first, who
will break meta phorical ice in this kind
Ofweather cannot be with accuracy
foretold, although the blooded ones
about town have laid wagers freely.
It's just like you have read about.
The slit up the side of the skirt would
expose a daintily turned limb with
telling effect. The ones in town have
buttons up the slit, but land sakes
you needn't use the buttons.

son well, and add a couple of raw
eggs beaten light. If rather dry. moist
en- with gravy or stock. turn into a
creased mold with plain sides, cover
set in baking pan with hot water
about it, and bake for an hour This
leaf may also be made with raw beef.
but then it must cook for two hours.
Let it get very cold before turning out
and slice Veal loaf may be prepared
by this recipe. and even cold roast
lamb may be treated in the same
manner. The main point to be born
In mind is the seasoning. Be careful

ADMIRAL ATTENDS
WHITE HOUSE LEVEE
ADMIRAL GETS CORDIAL SHAKE
OF HAND FROM ROOSEVELT Ar
NEW YEARS FUNCTION.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Admiral
Browuson, by attending the New
Years reception at the White House
today, saved the occasion from TAX
ing on the sameness Of other years.
70 be sure the Admiral was late, but
this did not seem to detract from the
cordially with which he was greeted
by President Roosevelt or the warmth
with which ne expressed his 1905 well
wishes for the man who is credited
with having forced him from the head
of the Bureau of Navigation of the
Navy and from membership in the
joint Army and Navy Board.
Some were surprised to see Admiral
Brownson. His hardness was respon-
sible in a measure Tor this, though
there were those who had predicted
that he would not come.
But the Admiral came. And he
seemed to be on just as good terms
with everybody as il he never had
been criticized or had criticized in re-
turn.
Rear Admiral BrOwnson was one OF
the first officers of the navy to greet
President Roosevelt To do this he
left his place in the line as soon as he
entered the White House and made his
way through the crowd into the Red
ParlOr passing Rear ADMIRAL Rixey
and taking his place Immediately after
the army officers who preceded the
navy.
Admiral BrOwnson's hand was
grasped by several of his brother Off
GERS as he was making his way ahead
OF them. After his greeting to the
President he remained in the East
Room for some time, chatting and re-
ceiving greetings.
This years reception was not as
largely attended as in former years
The President shook hands with only
5G45 persons, 1000 less than he greet
ed year ago. But it was the usual
sight of rags touching silks of hodcar-
riers elbowing bank presidents, O.
young and old, black and white, Am
erican and alien, diplomat and dullaru
And, although the President stood
for four hours greeting all corners, ne
declared he had enjoyed 1t all To ID
newspaper man, the last one in une,
who asked him if he were tired, he re-
piled with a laugh:

Mrs. Roosevelt, together with Cabi-
net members and their wives, assisted
in receiving. She snook hands with
official visit callers, but not with the
public. Contrary to her plans of last
year, Mrs. Roosevelt remained in the
Blue Room until the last person had
shaken hands with the President, but
plainly she was fatigued before the re-
ceDtion was over and hurried to the
state dining room at the earliest pos
sible moment.
