old he was one of the recognized lead
ers of the Republican party in Provi-
dence From 1871 to 1873 he was
president of the Providence common

Der of the Rhode Island Legislature.

THE FIRST BIG SHIPMENT
Peshastin Has the Honor OF Sending
Five Cars in One Consignment

Five Cars in One Consignment
The upper part of Wentachee val
ley is beginning to come into it's own
Peshastin has the honor to be first
in line with large shipment of ap-
pies. Heretofore only few scatter
ing cars or small shipments OF APP
Piles have been made, and there to
comparatively nearby markets. This
week five cars of apples go in one
consignment from Peshastin. They
are all fancy and extra fancy stock
The fruit is intended for European
consumption. 1t will leave New York
by steamer in a few days. The price
paid the growers for Spitzenbergs
was 1925 per box.
The following growers contributed
each percentage of the $3.50 boxes
of apples in the shipment: Guy Stage,
Charles Stage, w. F. Wright, J. P.
Robinson. c. S. Craig, George Hau-
Der, NJ w. Stark and H. w. Otis.
Last week shipment of two cars
of apples was made from Peshastin.
In another year shipments from this
end of the valley equally as large as
that first mentioned above will not be
so much of a novelty. In two years
Leavenworth will begin to ship ap-
pies in large lots, and the whole val
ley will be producing the finest fruit
on earth. -LeavenwOrth Echo.

The first preliminary work on the
new depot, perhaps it would be more
correct to say addition to our old one,
began yesterday when a large force
of men made preparations for moving
the side track in the rear of the depot
ten feet further back. Part of the
material is on the ground. The old
depot is to be moved east some fifty
feet, and the new addition, which is
to be 32x50 feet, will be joined to the
west end of the old building, which
is 22x50., The old portion is to be
used for storing freight and baggage,
while the new structure is to be di-
vided into an Office and two waiting
rooms-one for men and one for
ladies. The new portion is to be
much larger and substantial than the
ld.-Leavenworth Echo.

mended that the custom observed in

form for beauty, its fragrance for
love, its wide fed fer charity. aud
its lasting quality for faithfulness-

Sunday School Picnic.

AS is already known the picnic was
not held May lst. on account Of the
rain. The Methodist Sunday SchooI
which is host this year decided last
Sunday to re-appoint next Monday

tions we're made but as the school
children had already lost one day, II
was deemed best to select Monday,
as it is the weekly school holiday
The parents are urged to do all they
can to help make this a happy and
successful occasion.

PURSE
OFFERED FOR FIGHT

NEW YORK, December 2.-The bids
for the big fight have been opened,
and Jim Jeffries, retired heavyweight
champion of the world, and Jack John
son, eolored, present holder of the title,
will meet to decide who will hold the
title in future, probably in San Fran
cisco on July of next year.
Tex Richard. the Nevada millionaire
gambler and promoter of the Cans Mel
son fight, in combination with Jack
Gleason of San Francisco, made the
highest bid. The amount was $10I 900.
This is far and away the largest
purse ever given for a prizefght The
nearest approach to it was the Corbett-
Sullivan fight in New Orleans on Sep
TENDER Z, 1892. Twenty-Five thousand
dollars were put up as purse by the
promoters of this fight, and there was
side bet of $4,000. Tex Richard,
himself, offered the largest purse ever
put up when he promoted the Nelson
Cans affair.
In addition to the purse, the fight
ers will receive two-thirds of the profits
from the moving pictures

race but have not yet taken the time
to enter their names. The time is get
ting short and those who wish to enter
must certainly do SO before tomorrow
night as, without exception, no entries
will be allowed after that time.
Already the roads are being pounded
by the feet of the walkers. The news
paper entries and one or two friends
may be seen stalking out from the Hea-
lani Boat Club every morning and ham
mering along the beach road, greatly
to the delight of some of the marines,
who cheer with much ardor when the
little squad goes by.
Service Entries Wanted.
So far there are no entries from any
of the service camps here. Soldiers
and marines are wanted in the race and
many of them can do good time over
that distance if they will come out.

they should be tempted to enter, even
if they do not care to do it just for
the sport and the fun of the thing.
