HEART F. LURE.
County Assessor r. n. Duff CoIlapes
on Main Street.

County Assessor Richard IL. Duff was
stricken with heart failure about o'clock
Friday afternoon, which has given his
friends considerable concern. AT the
time mentioned he, with the members OF
his family, were returning from the home
of 7. j. Freisnger in South Colfax, when
he was suddenly stricken with heart fail
ure. This was on Main street. Mr. Duff
was assisted by his son and another
man for short distance, but when the
engine house was reached he collapsed
completely and had to be carried to his
home in the Binnard block. A physician
was hastily summoned and everything
done possible for his relief. At this writ
ing he is resting comfortably, although
still confined to his room.
Mr.. Duff's mother died from heart fail.
ure, the spark of life being snapped out
in an instant. He is in his 63d year.
Barring this one ailment he is possessed
of a robust body and gives promise of
living many years.

Enqineer and Janitor.

L. E. Largent OF Pullman has been in
stalled as engineer Of the heating plant
in the court house and also as assistant
ianitOr. In ianitor work he takes the
place of Ezekial Davidson, who has been
connected with the court house for some
time. 1t is essential to have an engineer
in the building to look after the steam
heating plant, go the work was divided,
with the result as given above. Mr..
Largent has had charge for the last three
years of the steam crusher owned by the
county at Pullman, doing ianitor work
when it was not being operated. Charles
Won Soehnen remains as head janitor at
the court house, position he has filled
for ten years.

Zero Weather in the Palouse.

The cold wave, due to an area OF high
atmospheric pressure approaching from
the coast, struck the PalOuse country
Tuesday and has fingered in the lap of
winter, apparently intent on making an
extended visit. The present cold snap is
widespread. We read Of 20 and 40 be
low zero in Montana and other eastern
points, Of people freezing to death and
suffering great hardships from the cold
at Nome and other places ia Alaska,
which makes the cold snap as we feel it
appear tame. The thermometer here
has touched the zero point and little
more at times, but it has registered from
8 to 10 above most Of the time. A furry
OF light snow came Wednesday, covering
the ground with thin layer. More Of
it would be acceptable to the farmers,
thus protecting the fall sown wheat from
possible rayages of the frost Variety is
said to be the spice Of life, so we guess
this is some OF the spice.

HAS STUCK To THE
PALOUSE COUNTRY
John 7. Baken and His 9OO-ACre
Wheat and Orchard Farm.
Added to His Holdings Last Week by
the Purchase of 419 acres--Paid
$4,000 Spot Cash--Expects to
See 1t Double in Value Soon.

John L. Baken, whose home is 81
miles southwest of La Crosse, was in
Colfax Monday and Tuesday mingling
with friends. Mr.. Baken came to the
PalOuse country seven years ago, liked
the looks OF things, bought liberal
slice OF PalOuse soil, added to it at
divers times until he owned and culti-
waited 4SO AGREES, and is now one of the
well-to do farmers living on Union fiat
Last week he added to his holdings by
purchasing AIS acres contiguous land,
all of the same high grade quality, pay
ing $4,000 spot cash for it. This
makes 1913 acres all told of as beautiful
and rich piece of land as can be seen in
the greatest wheat country in the world
Mr.. Baken had 240 acres planted to
wheat last year, some going 3S bushels
to the acre. Next seasons acreage
will be more than doubled. He saws
that the acreage sOwn to fall wheat in
the country surrounding La Crosse is
greater than ever before, and if nothing
unforeseen arises there will be an i'm
mense crop next year. OF course we all
know the Rubicon has not been crossed,
so to speak, as various contingencies
may arise to Illustrate our hopes, but
everything so far has come the farmers
way, even to big prices for his product.
Many who sold earlier in the season
would have made, perhaps, by holding,
but all have done well and no complaint
is coming. A few, however, are fearful
OF frosts, which might do great damage
by pulling fall sown grain out OF the
ground, necesstating reseeding. But
this is a remote possibility.
Those who have stuck to the soil in
the PalOuse are above high water mark
including MIR. Baken.

of the dead mother had got into hss, but 1t must have been an unsatisfied spirit. unable to fulfil Its ambition in the body that once held it. for 1t some times played strange pranks with Pol ly. Tonight her eyes shone and her lips were parted In anticipation as she leaped lightly over the many coIored streamers of the wheel of siken rib bons held by Barker In the center of the ring and by Toby and the tum. blers on the edge of the bank. With each change of her act the au. dience cheered and fraDtlcally applaud. ed. The band played faster; Bingo's pace increased: the end of her turn was coming. The numbers arranged themselves around the ring with pa- per hoops. Binpu was fairly racing. She went throuri, !Rc first hoop with crash of tearing naper.
 "Heigh. Bingo" she shouted ns she bent her knees to make ready for the ffual leap.
 Bingo's neck was stretched. He had never gone so fast before. Barker looked uneasy. Toby forgot to go on with his accustomed tricks. Jim watched anxieusly from the entrance.
 The paper of one hoop was still left unbroken. The attendant turned his eyes to glance at the Oncoming girl The hoop shifted slightly in his clum- sy hand as Polly leaped straight up from Bingo's back. trusting to her first calculation. Her forehead struck the edge of the hoop. She clutched wildly at the air. Bingo galloped on. and she fell to the ground. striking her bend against the ironbound stake at the edge of the ring.
 Everything stopped. There was . gasp of horror The musicians drop ped their instruments. Blpgo halted and looked back uneasily. She lay unconscious and seemingly lifeless.
 A great cry went up in the tent. Panic stricken men. women and chil- dren began to chamber down from their seats. while others nearest the ground attempted to jump into the ring. Bar ker still grasping his long whip, rushed to the girls side and shouted wildly to Toby:
 Say something. you. Get 'em back"
 Old Toby turned his white face to the crowd His features worked con vulsively, but he could not speak. His grief was so grotesque that the few who saw him laughed hysterically. He could not even go to Polly. His feet seemed pinned to the earth.
 Jim rushed Into the tent at the first cry of the audience. He lifted the limp form tenderly and. kneeling In the ring. held her bruised head in his hands,
 < Cant you get doctorY' he shouted desperately to Barker.
 Here's the doctorw some one called. and stranger came toward them. He bent over the seemingly lifeless form. his fingers on the tiny wrist, his ear to the heart
 "well. sirT' Jim faltered. for he had caught the puzzled look in the doctors eyes as his delft hand pressed the cru ely wounded head.
 ''I can't tell just yet" said the doc toE. -'She must be taken away." - -
