Many of the delegates arrived
Tuesday night and a number of
them remained until Thursday
morning, thus spending ..two
nights in Pullman. While the
convention was held for the sole
purpose of transacting business
there was much sociability and
the delegates were made to feel
at home in Pullman. Much cred
it is due to the ladies of Pullman
local for the excellent dinner and
the splendid manner in which it
was served.

COUNTY F. f. AND
c. j. CONVENTION
Pullman Entertains Delegates
From Locals of Whitman
County Wednesday.

Wednesday the county conven-
! tion of the Farmers Educational
and Cooperative Union met in
Pullman. There were nearly 70
delegates, representing various
locals in the county, and an in
teresting and profitable session
was held. j. S. Klemgard, presi-
dent Of the county union, pre-
{ sided and G. w. Perrine, secre-
tary, was here from Colfax and
officiated in that capacity. The
larger locals were well represent
ed, Pullman having the largest
delegation and Colfax, Cotton
and Uniontown being we'll rep
resented. In addition to these
the executive committee of the
state union was present and held
its quarterly meeting in Pullman
at the same time. L. C. Grow,
state president, was also here.
The session began at 10 o'clock
in the basement of the Christian
church and after the regular
committees were appointed and
| the credentials handed in adj
jOurnment was had until the
committees could complete their
work. A sumptuous dinner was
served to the visitors by Pull
man local No. 8, in the dining
room of the Methodist church,
there being more than $50 per-
sons fed at three long tables,
each seating 35, and it required
three sessions" at the tables
to feed all who. were present.
The Pullman Commercial Club
was an invited guest and many
members were present and par
took of the good things offered
by the women of Pullman local.
The dinner was a fine one and
was highly praised by the for
tunate guests. Frank Campbell,
chairman of the commercial
club, made an interesting address
to the union members in which
he urged cooperation between
the farmers and the business
men. His address was we'll re-
ceived. Rev. DR.. Luce, the evan
gelist now holding meetings at
the Methodist church, was also a
guest and made an interesting
talk.
The afternoon session was full
of life and interest. There were
a number of spirited discussions
between delegates, but no i'll
feeling resulted and many sug-
gestions which will be beneficial
to the order were made. Strong
resolutions denouncing the sena-
tors and representatives srepon-
sible for the delay or failure to
pass needed laws and for the
extravaganza of the recent legis-
allure were passed. The conven-
ton also passed resolutions in
dorsing the manly attitude of
Acting Governor Hay in standing
for law and order.

long pending suit of Col. E. l.. Mot

railroad for lifetime passes on the
railroad was brought to a close when
Judge John M. Galloway rendered
his decision in favor of the plaintiffs,
and directed that the passes be is

when Col. and Mrs. Motley were in
jured in a railroad wreck, compro-
mise was effected by which they
were to receive free passes over the
road for life. When the Hepburn
rate bill law went into effect, the
railroad then declined to issue passes
upon the ground that it would be
of the law. Col. Motley
brought suit and won the case, but
it was appealed by the railroad to
the Federal courts. This court re-

Cultivating Slimness.

Fat women must take this injunction to heart
if they want to be in STYLE for the modes will
not drape over fat figure.
The fat has got to come off quickly but without
harm. Of course. and this means only one thir g
can be depended upon. Exercising or detir &
are too slow. The fat woman who wants to wear
a form-clnging gown must take immediate
trip to her druggist and get a case Of MarmoIa
Prescription Tablets which will cost her about
rs cents.
Taking one Of these after each meal and at
bedtime should be enough to bring her to the
''losing-a-pound-a-day" stage even before the
first case is used up. It is hardly believable that
such delightful results can be obtained witho,
harm and for such a small sum Of money. but
then. fact is stranger than fiction.
Test the effect of these tablets by getting case

hite House Graft.

The proposition to increase the
salary of the President from $50 900
to 100000 a year has had one good
effect. the enlightening of the public
TO the petty graft as practiced at
the White House. Besides his sal
airy of $50, 200 year, Mr.. Roosevelt
manages to spend $50, 800 of the pub
lie funds every twelve mon his, which
has been mentioned before in the
Journal. Now it is revealed that a
negro barber is paid $1,000 a year,
or $4.38 every day when he shave s
the Presidential cheek, and is car
ried on the pay rolls of-the Navy De-
although his only duty is
to shave the President once day.

is paid 5000 a year, and carried on
the rolls of the Bureau of Engraving
as a clerk, but rendering no other
service than that given to the wife

Lincoln was great favorite with

was always saying. Whenever

A1Old court, Davis would look about
and ask the very first thing,

Lincoln's stories disturbed the
court. for if Lincoln were not in
the trial then being held. he was
apt to have a group of men around
him in the court room. Then Da-

cant stand this. There is no use
trying to carry on two courts; |

But in a few minutes he would
beckon one of the men to the
bench, and in a whisper would ask:
"What was that story Lincoln was
telling"
But Lincoln was not a mere
story'teller; he was a serious man,
q sad man. and man of real dig
