cappeIIe OutsIugs Brady
Billy Cappelle and Kid Brady fur
nished the third preliminary, and oW-
ing to a misunderstanding the weights
were very much to the disadvantage of
Brady. Cappelle weighed. 120 pounds,
while Brady weighed only 105 pounds,
but despite this handicap Brady went
on with the bout. In addition to his
big weight advantage and superior
punching ability Cappelle showed much
cleverer than Brady and landed fear
full punches to the body and head
throughout the first round and seemed
almost ready to win by a knockout in
that session. Brady weathered the
storm, however. Cappelle had all the
better of the second and third rounds
and severely. punished Brady through
out the session, but Brady gameIy
stood up under punishment and came
back for more. Cappelle's blows re-
sounded with a smack that indicated
that he could hit at a fearful clip.
The fourth round also went to the
credit of Cappelle. who kept up an in
cessant volley of right swings to the
kidneys and ribs, while avoiding much
of the punishment that Brady tried to
lnfiict. Cappelle easily won the de-
cision.

CROWDS GOING TO CIRCUS
Many Pullman Citizens viii See
Ringing Show at Moscow

A great many Pullman people are
going to Moscow on Tuesday, August
10th to the Ringing Bros Circus. 1t
will be the only opportunity this year
and the railroads are preparing to
handle thousands of visitors from the
surrounding territory.
Ringing Bros. have made many
important improvements since they
last appeared in this part of the
country. At Madison Square Gar
den, New York, where the season
began, the performances were at
tended nightly by the biggest crowds
that ever saw circus in Manhattan,
and the newspapers were not back
ward about saying that the Ringing
Brothers were presenting, in every
respect, the best entertainment of
the kind ever given there. The per-
formances in Moscow will be identi-
cal with those given in the Garden,
not the slightest change having been
made in the long program.
The circus offered this year is one
of wonderful novelty. Instead of
the usual single thriller presented
by other circuses, the Ringing
Brothers are heading their bill with
no less than seven of the greatest
and most sensational acts that have
ever been presented anywhere on
earth.
The parade will be given in the
forenoon. 1t will far surpass the
brilliant pageants which the Ringl-
ing Brothers have given in past years
having been entirely rebuilt in the
foreign workshops Of the show at
Liverpool, England.

BROOM CORN PRICES SOAR
Highest Prices in Years Being Paid
For Broom Corn. Enormous
Profits in Raising it.

Broom corn now commands the
highest prices in many years in the
northwest. Good broom corn now
sells for from $3.50 to $175 per ton
and is scarce at those high figures.
Broom corn was raised on Snake riy-
err for many years and some farmers
made good profits from it, but there
were a mum Der of years when prices
were low and the sale was difficult.
This drove farmers to other crops
and there is little broom corn grown
on the Snake river bars now.
F. NJ. Beckwith, of lila, was one OF
the most extensive growers of broom
corn for a number Of years. He
owns "Rice's bar" three miles above
Penewawa, on the Garfield county
side of the river, and raised broom
corn there for several years. He got
a good yield but in those days there
was not a steady market and prices
varied greatly. The last crop that

G. f. Johnson and his son Arthur

Idaho, near which place each has
taken desert claim of $50 acres.
The land lies level as a floor and
is covered with a light growth of
sage brush. A part of this has been
burned off. They will put in the
month of August clearing the re-
mainder and getting it ready for If
rigation 1t is said mat August is
the best month in the year to clear
land of sage brush and that one
weeks work in that month is worth
more than a months work at any
other time of year. The land taken
by Mr.. Johnson and son lies nine
miles south from Mountain Home
and an irrigation ditch is within
three miles of their land and is
being extended in their direction.
They expect to be absent about six
weeks.

SUMMER SCHOOL OUT
Most Successful Term i'm History of
Washington State College
is Ended

Today the Summer Science School
for teachers closed its term of six
weeks and the teachers are depart
ing for their homes. The total en-
rollment reached 220, the highest
on record, and the teachers in at
tendance were there for the pur-
pose of working. Many of them add
ed to their grades and gained sew
eral credits during the term.
There has been much social life
intermingled with the school work,
and the visitors have been given a
good time while they were in Pull
man. The closing picnic was held
Wednesday afternoon. 1t was plan
ned to hold it in the picnic grounds
of Tanglewood, but owing to the
dampness it was held in the gymna-
stun, and about $50 persons were
present. A luncheon was served to
all present by the Domestic Science
department. The luncheon was
served "Cafateria" style and sup
piled much amusement in addition
to a substantial feed" for the big
crowd present The luncheon was
followed by a barn dance" in the
gym nasium, which was well filled
with young people.
Tuesday of this week there was
an interesting lecture by Professor
j. c. Muerman, of the Philippine Is
lands, who has had charge of the
government school work there for
eight years and has had 10000 ma
tive school children under his jur-
isdiction. Professor Muerman lect-
ured on THE Education, Manners
and Customs of the Fillipinos," and
his lecture was full of interest and
given the closest attention. Pro-
fessor Muerman was formerly sup
erintendent of the city schools at
Moscow, Idaho, and is personally
known to many of the teachers in at
tendance at the summer school.
Thursday was the last chapel ser
vice for the summer school and
Thursday night farewell dance was
given in the library building. Many
of the teachers won credits and a
number of students of the college
made up credits in their work dur

Mr.. Beckwith raised he kept for two
years and then sold for $50 or $50
per ton.
In conversation with the editor of
The Herald a short time ago Mr..
Beckwith said: There is enormous
profits in broom corn at present
prices. | have been thinking lately
of again trying to raise it. If | do
shall arrange methods of holding
it for higher prices. There is no
difficulty in keeping it, if one can
for years and not spoil, if kept in
a dry place. Had | held my last
crop of broom corn to the present
time l could have made big interest
on the money even if it was tied up
for several years. Broom corn
reaches high prices every few years
and if farmer were prepared to
hold for those high prices he could
make big profits by raising broom
corn. A good quality of broom corn
is grown along Snake river"
Henry Schisler, broom manufac-
turer of Charleston, Wash, was here
Tuesday, taking orders for brooms.
Mr.. Schisler said: Broom corn is
so high and scarce that we have
closed down our factory. We paid
1880 per ton for the last broom corn
we bought. 1t was raised near Wal
| la Walla. We have quite a large
factory and put out from 40 to so
dozen brooms a day when running
full capacity" Mr.. Schisler was
formerly a citizen of Oakesdale. He
visited d. B. Putnam, who lived in
Oakesdale at the time he was there,
and several other former Oakesdale-
| ties, while in Pullman.

SHIPPING ROCK TO COLFAX

Every one has heard of Carrying
Goals to Newcastle" A similar stu
alton is witnessed here now, when
rock is being shipped from Pullman
to Colfax. A. r. Boyd shipped two
carloads of crushed rock to Colfax
this week. The rock is being used in
the erection of the retaining wall
just west of the court house, which
was washed out by the floods last
spring. A reinforced concrete wall
is being built to replace the stone
wall which was destroyed by the
flood. A rock crusher had been at
work at Colfax and enough crushed
rock to finish the job had been
crushed, the contractor thought, but
1T was found that he was short a
large amount and, as the rock crush
er had been moved, it was necessary
to ship rock from Pullman. AS Col
fax is built in a canyon, the walls OF
which are solid rock, and the town
is surrounded by rock quarries, ii
seems like carrying Goals to New
castle to be shipping rock from
Pullman to Colfax.

averted these perils and kept the
country free from foreign complica-
tions.
At last his plans began to work
out. Little by little the nation real
lied all he had done and was doing
for 1t. Europe too commenced, to
understand that the despised back
woodsman was a statesman and pa
triot to whom the whole world might
we'll do reverence. He had carried
the country safely through its most
terrible crisis. And the country,
somewhat late in the day, adored the
man It had Knocked.
The war was over, the Union pre-
served, the slaves freed. No praise
was high enough for the man who
had achieved these miracles. And in
the brief moment of his boundless
popularity Lincoln preserved the
same gentle, strong calm that had
marked his days Of adversely.
On the night of April IA, 1865, a
gala performance was given at
Washington theatre to celebrate the
triumphal close of the war. AS
President Lincoln sat watching the
play (his appearance having been
greeted with mad applause), dis
reputable actor, John Wilkes Booth,
member of a gang of conspirators
who sought to avenge the defeat of
the South, crept behind him and
shot him through the brain.
Thus died Abraham Lincoln, hero
martyr; struck down at the moment
when unjust hatred and ridicule
against him had changed to admiring
love-struck down when he had
barely tasted the reward Of his years
OF thankless labor. He had saved
his country; and he gave his own
blameless life in payment.
