were working some distance from the
home, and were notified of the accident.
They sent Otto's son Philip to the
home with one of the teams that had
been in the field, while they went to
the scene of the accident. severe
dust storm came up while the boy was
making the trip, and he was thrown
from the wagon when the team he was
driving started to run away. He was
severely injured, though no bones were
broken.
Both Johann Piening and his grand
son were brought to Prosser, and are

course the club has included several
of Shakespeare's plays and kept apace
on current events. The program Is
broad, affording plenty of scope FOR
thought. The membership now
reaches 80 and is full except one. Mrs.
Tabitha Jones has been elected pres
ident for the ensuing year.
The club included several functions
of merit during the past year, the sill
yer Japanese tea on May held at
the home of Mrs. j. H. Morrow, Stan
ton street was one of the prettiest
events of the spring season, and the
library benefited materially by the
results. The annual banquet at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs w. P. Winans
on Wednesday, June 8 closed the
years festivities of the club.

At one time members of the Read
ing club formed what was known as
the Civic Improvement club and this
was later swelled into what is today
calico the Park club. The Reading
club also started the movement
which secured the site for the Car
negie library and brought about the
movement which called for covered
cans on the street corners. One glor-
ious Fourth of July the club gave a
dinner and secured 5000 which was
donated to the Y. NJ c. A.

than is the Woman's Reading club

object the promotion of literary, arts

On the other hand, in the Russian
! capital almost nothing was done last
: summer to stamp out the disease and
the epidemic dragged along until the
kindly frost interviewed to stop its
rayages.~ Last fall the Russian aus
thorities were warned of the danger
of a fresh outbreak of the epidemic
when warm weather should come
again, and they promised to institute
effective measures Of prevention. But
it appears that the Russian tempera
ment is impervious to sanitary knoWl-
edge or else they were too much ac-
customed to rely on their time-hon-
ored defenders, Genral January and
Gneral February. However cholera,
although as rule succumbing to the
purifying action of cold, is evidently

queror than the great Napoleon 1t

the long and bitter Russian winter.
and now from innumerable foci it
has renewed its attack, which, if the
precedents of past epidemics prevail,
will envelop Germany, England and
the United States in it's deadly fold.
In former epidemics the disease came
oil n
country. where it ragged with its usual
fury of sudden death. In view of
Russian inertia and incompetency,
the hope of the civilized world now
rests upon the German medical
scientists who held it at bay at the
Russian frontier last year and who
may be relied on to spare no efforts
to stop it's march this summer. Med
ical science has made notable adj
vances since the sos, when this king
of diseases swept over Germany, and
it is reasonable to hope that modern
sanitation and hygiene will stay its
progress at least to the extent of
keeping it confined to Russian terri
tory. Meanwhile a wholesale tragedy
may be enacted in the Russian cap
ital, where DR.. IVanoff, chief sanitary
physician reports that the disease
has spread in practically all quarters
of the city; that the sanitary COM
mission is without funds and is un-
able to take many precautionary
measures. and that the citys water
supply admittedly is contaminated.
Isn't that pitiful story of Russian
official sloth, apathy and fatalism?

CHOLERA'S MENACE.

creeping march from its perennial
habitat in India, it was also reported
as epidemic in Manila, which it had
reached by another route on the
other side of the globe. Intense in
terest was manifested in the situa-
ton by medical journals and indi-
vidual scientists and the opinion was
freely expressed that there was more
danger of the disease spreading from
the Philippine city than from 81
Petersburg. The conditions were
much more difficult to contend with
in Manila, tropical metropolis and
then one of the filthiest cities in the
world, lacking a sewer system, pure
water and even the most primitive
sanitary arrangements. The swarm

PARTY GAGS DUTY.

Here is an illustration of how dog
ged adherence to party illustrates
legislation demanded and needed by
the people, and makes a mock of pa
triotism on the part of public SER
wants. Most of the democrats and
quite large fraction of the repub-
licans, in congress, enough probably,
if they would combine and cooperate,
to pass a bill, are in favor of an in
come tax. They really believe that
such a law would be a good one, and
that in justice to their constituents
it ought to be passed We are saying
nothing as to the correctness or wis
dom of that opinion, but with these
men it is an honest conviction of an
important public duty, says the Ore
gon Journal
But what do we see, in the name
of party, for mere party's sake ?
Bailey and other democrats who are
for an income tax will not cooperate
with Cummins and other republicans
who are also for an income tax, be-
cause they are republicans, and vice
versa If democrat proposes this or
any other measure that a republican
entirely agrees with, the republican
will not support it, because of its
source, and just so with a democrat
if a republican proposes a like meas
ure. To each, it is the most essential
thing that the measure shall go before
the people, if passed, not as one that
is right and in their interests, but as
a republican or a democratic measure;
as originated and chiefly sponsored by
democrats or by republicans.

ousy and childish envy this is. What

THE CALL OF THE NORTHWEST

Evidently the Chicago business men
and passed such favorable comment
on this city and the Northwest in
general, were sincere in their words
of praise and but echoed the opinion
that is fast forming in the eastern
centers. Commenting on the opening
of the A-Y.-P exposition at Seattle
she Washington Post recently printed
in its editorial columns an apprecia-
ton of the Northwest which it says
has a future before it which ''dazzles
the imagination" Eastern people
are beginning to give so much more
thought to this part of the United
States that undoubtedly it will grow
in industries and population more
rapidly in the next ten years than it
has in the last decade.
probably no other section of the
country offers today opportunities so
great and attractive for industry and
enterprise as does the Northwest"

areas of the most fertile agricultural
land in the world, great forests which

and cheapness than any other section
of the country, the Northwest has a
future which dazzles the imagination.
And a new type of American is be-
ing evolved in this almost virgin
country, impatient of traditions and
conventions, hungry for results, with
making good as the ideal of civic
and personal action, the new North

mountains. They are growing rapidly

time is not far off when they will
have a. much more potent voice in
national affairs
These are the very things that we
of the Northwest have long known
and it is indeed gratifying to know
that others are beginning to realize
the possibilities that await develop
ment in our fields, our mountains and
our rivers. With so much praise we
must be careful that we measure up
to the standard by which we arc be-
ing judged.

DON'T CALL A
 MAN "FUSSY" Better Think Twice and You'll Have to Admit He Is Using Good Judgment CLOTHES DO NOT
 MAKE THE MANI An Adage Long Used In Protecting the "Seedy" Dresser But Disapproved In Recent Years.

There are a great many men in this | world termed t.fuSSy'' just because they want what they want in clothing.
 They should be complimented for a | display of good judgment rather than | criticized for being over careful. Dress | is an important question that Is daily
 becoming of more consequence to every man in the country. Even the -told boys'' who at one time proudly pointed to the adage Clothes don't | make the man." as an apology for
 their seedy apparel, now demand that that their representatives in business look
 the part of having a prosperous house behind them. A fellow nowadays must exercise care in his dress A marked down to fifteen dollars suit will not do. It might look good for a few minutes, but then the dream IS
 over and you find it difficult to con- vince yourself it's anywhere near as slick looking as it appeared before the
 mirror of the ready-made shop. The
 proof of tailor-made clothes lies in the
 fact that countless numbers of men
 have left the ready-made clothes
 turn again, while those who have
 done vice versa almost invariably go
 back to the tailor after the unsatis- factory experience of one ready-made
 suit. To the good dresser the man
 who enjoys the services of a good
 tailor-the wearing of a ready-made suit is an effort. He feels positively
 uncomfortable in one and a gentle
 man the writer knows SwearS Never Again!'' He tried, but the ready made suit was not a success. There's a mighty heap of comfort in knowing, you're right about your dreSS-in feel
 ing you've not only a perfect fit and attractive pattern, but in knowing you're not going to run across some one Ono telling who) wearing a suit just like yours. Yes, it's a great re- lief to feel sure your suit is the proper thing and that your good taste will not be infrinsed on in any manner. If you are desirous of getting some thing of especially good taste for spring. try Wheale, 1042 Main street. Here's a tailor with ideas and his fla mliarity with New York and London style doings equips him to produce snappy models and provide a large dis play of the most fashionable woolens.

Decis- ion was reserved.
 When meeting of Maria Stella Council was called for April 12 Miss Lavel1e was notified to be present and answer charges against her. She was notified that it was for the purpose to depose her from the offices she held and later a move was made to expel her for exemplifying the ritual after the power had been taken from her. On this ground she obtained the in junction.
