OWL BLOCKS CHIMNEY
Struppler Family Smoked out of House
by Dead Owl in Flue.

A peculiar accident happened at the
home Of Mrs. d. Struppler Wednesday
night, when large owl fell into the
chimney. blocking it so that smoke
could not issue from the stove and the
family was smoked out of the house
in the morning.
The kitchen stove refused to draw
and the smoke poured forth into the
kitchen, filling the house until it be-
came necessary to open the doors and
windows. Neighbors feared the house
was on fire and has'ened to the rescue,
only to find the family trying in vain
to get the smoke to follow its usual
course out of the chimney. After
many vain efforts the pipe was taken
down and the chimney examined and
the cause of the trouble was soon To-
Gated. A large owl was found. 1t
had evidently fallen into the chimney
during the night and had been suff-
coated when the fire was started in the
morning.

be improved, subdivided and number
of houses will probably be built. Mr..
Slagel, the general manager and presi-

zens and Collegians.

Today Admiral Robley D. Evans,
retired, passed through Pullman, en-
route to Lewiston, Idaho, where he
delivers lecture tonight. The word
that the noted sea fighter was to pass
through Pullman spread early in the
morning and hasty arrangements were
made to give him a rousing reception.
When the train arrived from Spokane
it was met at the depot by a crowd
numbering hundreds, and the College
and Commercial Club Bands rendered
patriotic airs.
The railroad people assisted in max
ing the short stay as agreeable as
possible and pulled the train up so
that the noted man might be seen and
heard by all. President Bryan and
Mayor Carpenter entered the car and
met Admiral and Mrs. Evans. When the
band finished playing Admiral Evans

observation car and was greeted with
an ovation. President Bryan introduc-
ed him in a few word and Admiral

NUMBER rs
A GOOD SHOW
Charles B. Hanford and His Company
Presented "A Winters Tale

The annual tour of the eminent
actor, Charles B. Hanford and his
company of stars is now in progress
and the west is being favored with
visits from this excellent companv.
They played in Pullman Tuesday
night, presenting Shakespeare s great
play, "A Winters Tale" though
why it should have been thus named
is one of the great mysteries of that
greatest of playwright's work. Mr..
Hanford departed from his usual GUS
tom and appeared as two characters,
Leontes, king of Stella, and Autoly-
Gus, rogue. 1t is difficult to i'm
aglne two characters more unlike than
these two, yet this great actor. who
ranks among the best Shakespearean
portrayers of the present day, showed
his great versatility by making
grand success of both characters. Mrs.
Hanford, otherwise Miss Marie Drof-
nah (Which is Hanford spelled back
ward) proved herself star by her ex-
chellent portrayal of the part of Her.
mione, the queen, and also taking the
character of Perdita, the queens
daughter. Her posing as the statue
of the supposed dead queen in the clos
ing scene was splendidly done and
brought forth merited applause from
the large audience. Every member
of the large company, one of the larg-
est that has accompanied Mr.. Hanford
to Pullman, was good
Special interest was taken in the
play here because of the fact that four
members of the company are Whitman
county people. Mrs. Carmola Brown
is the wife of J. 7. Brown an attorney
of Colfax, and was reared in Whit
man county. Her two daughters, The
odocia and Phoebe, who are real little
stars and never fail to make a hit,
are two of the most interesting mem
bers of the company. Miss Fannie
Davis, the pianist, is a Colfax girl of
great talent and was formerly piano
teacher of several girls now living in
Colfax. Miss Davis has been with
Mr.. Hanford for two seasons and
travelled for one year as pianist for
the "Wise Woman company. Mr..
Hanford never fails to get large
audience in Pullman, where he is de-
servedly popular.
Tuesday afternoon Mr.. Hanford ac-
cepted an invitation to visit Washing
ton State College and address the
students in chapel. His address
pleased the students immensely and a
great many attended the show in the
evening. At its close the boys gave
three hearty cheers for Mr.. Hanford.

CITY COUNCIL MEETS
Regularly Bi-Monthly Meeting Held in
City Hall Thursday Night.

The city council met in regular
session Thursday night and much busi-
ness was transacted The claim of
the state for $l642. so for unpaid Ii
cense fees for saloons, dating back to
1888, q years ago, was taken up and
discussed. The state claims that the
city failed to pay the 10 per cent of
the saloon license due under the state
law, and that at one time the city
owed more than $4,000 to the state but
about $4,000 of this has been paid,
leaving a balance of $l642.5 so. The
attorney general is threatening to bring
suit if this is not paid. The council
asked Mayor Carpenter to go over the
books of the city and ascertain if the
amount claimed is correct.
The question of a new patent fire
nozzle to replace the one destroyed at
the Palace hotel fire was considered
and new nozzle, which can be shut
of, was ordered. The question of
fire whistle which can be heard all
over town WAS discussed and such a
whistle may be ordered.
Pullman citizens and farmers who
come to town are not to be annoyed
by barking and fighting dogs in the
future. The council instructed the
marshal to impound and kill all fight
ing dogs and dogs that chase teams
and stock in the streets, no matter If
the dogs have license tags. Fire pro-
lection is to be extended to Mckenzie
street and in the vicinity of the Squires
residence, where there is only small
water pipe which gives no protection
in case of fire.
Much routine business was transact
ed.

frightful wound but fortunately none

Women of Woodcraft Have Record
Breaking Attendance at Social
Function.

The St. Patrick ball given in Odd
Fellows hall Wednesday night by
Evergreen circle No. IL, Women of
Woodcraft, was attended by one of
that hall and was voted by all present
to be one of the finest social events of
the season. The hall was handsomely
decorated in green and white and was
brilliantly lighted. fuckers orches-
ira furnished the music and received
many f1attering compliments. The
grand march was led by Mr.. and Mrs.
j. r. Stevenson, both being dressed
in white, with green ties and there
were a dozen couples similarly dressed
at the front in the grand march. The
ladies wore green ties, green ribbons
and many of them wore green carna-
tions. The scene was brilliant one
and the large crowd was full of good
humor. The floor was too crowded
for comfort during early part of the
evening, but about II O'Clock many
left for home and those who remained
had more room for dancing. Taken as
a whole the affair was a decided sue
cess and the women having it in
charge have been receiving congratula-
tions on the success of their efforts.
The prize for the best Irish charac-
ter was awarded to Miss Lola Mood
and the second prize was given to
Miss Edna Schloeman.
