Ever since William Nelson Cromwell

hours and then grabbed the money

had stacked the cards. went strictly
up against it, and lost a tidy sum Ia

Instead OF 50,000,000 gallons of water.
there are hut 25,000,00O gallons for all

may be demanded in case of a con-

Unless the waste of water is stopped
at once, Auditor John Lamb announced
this aftern on. it will be necessary to
shut the water supply off from some of

THE situation is becoming just as
serious now as in the midst of the ir-

ADJUSTMENTS
Charles B. Hanford.

Charles B. HanfOrd and company
opened brief engagement at the Ly-
ceum, Monday evening, in Shake
speare's delightful comedy, "The Win
ter's Tale" Mr.. Hanford played lie
ontes" and "AutOlycus," and Miss
Drofnah assumed the usual double i'm
personations of "HermiOne" and Per
dita."
1.-THE Winters Tale" is one of the
most enjoyable of the master drama
lists comedies. It's plot, despite fancl-
full qualifications, is tangible, coherent
and deeply interesting. It's theme Is
motivated entirely by strong, primi-
tive emotions, arising from deep-seat-
ed ealousy on the part of lie
Cntes' and outraged innocence on the
rarr of "Hermione." The role of lie
Cntes' gives unlimited scope for the
portrayal of a sensitive soul Writhing
in the fetid tentacles of the green-eyed
monster Mr.. Hanford was entirely
convincing in the part, revealing with
marked definitess and subtlety the in
sidiouS operations of jealousy and its
distorting influence. He sounded poig-
nd0IIN the OSpIlS Oh despair anu Ills
semblance of noble contritiOn was
splendidly executed. In the antipodal
transition necessitated by the assump-
ton of the role of "Autolycus'' Mr.
Hanford evidenced his great versatil-
ity in characterization. His 'Autolycus'
was as merry and entertaining a rogue
as could be conceived, and thoroughly
delighted all who witnessed the ras-
calls shreWd deviltry.
Miss DrOfnah was no less artistic and
satisfactory, first as the maIigned and
prosecuted wife, and later in the girl
ish portraiture she drew of the charm
ing "Perdita.' Her reading was ad-
mirable. She invested her "HermiOne'
with a sweet dignity and q Womanly
grace that proved her clear apprecia-
ton Of the re !uirements of the trying
role, and won marked favor from her
audience.-Memphis News Scimitar.

THE WEATHER.

What the average newspaper re-
porter would do to fill his space in the
daily journals would be a difficult
problem, Were it not for the undue ac-
tiVitieS of the weather man at certain
seasons of the year? Sensations may
develop. reach the climax. and die away
into obscurity, but always we have
with us the same old weather topic,
which is available coming and going.
In the spring there are floods and
freshets: in the summer. the records
of heat occupy the attention of pencil
pushers: in the fall cary frosts or
continued warm conditions demand
notice. while in the winter. deep SHOWS
and the low mark of the mercury are
given prominence.
Nine out of ten individuals open
their conversation with remarks apro-
pos the weather, and it is a popular
topic at all seasons; small wonder then.

Lack of Water
Works Hardship

PASCO, Jan. 11-(Special Cores
pOndence.) -FOr almost twenty hours
yesterday, Pasco had no water sup
ply and the spectacle of great cans OF
snow being melted in the streets in
order to provide drinking water was
not all uncommon. The trouble arose
from the fact that the river, which is
practically frozen over froze down
below the intake of the city system.
The shortage of water came near de-
moralizing the train service. The
North Bank train from Walla Walla
to Portland arrived here at II o'clock
with it's tender almost dry. 1t was
found necessary to send the engine
II miles up the track to replenish its
water supply, and it did not get back
to PascO until five o'clock
A large force of men succeeded in
restoring the water supply late in the
afternoon.

The robbers cut the engine and one mail car from the train, shot twice at the fireman, ordering him from the engine, put revol- yer to Engineer Whittleseys head, and compelled him to send the engine ahead The other bandit took the place of the fireman. and as they passed through Hauser he was throwing coal into the fire box in an experienced manner. This, to- aether with the fact that there were no markers on the rear Of the train and that the engine crew dsregarded signals. re- vealed to the telegraph operator at the station that 1t was a hold-up and he mo- tiled the train dispatcher in Spokane to that effect Officials at Spokane and Rathdrum were notified, and while the mail car was being robbed later at point between Trent and Yardley, posses were forming on either side of the bandits to overhaul them.

VEGETABLE CROP
 VERY PROMISING

Jackson, Miss. April 30.-(Special.)- John w. Day of Crystal Springs, one of the most extensive vegetable growers in the Crystal Springs vicinity, and who has done as much as any other one man in the community to cause 1t to be desig mated as the Garden City, of Missssip pi, was in town today en route to St. Louis, on business for the truck growers to make arrangements for handling car load lots.
 MT. Day states that there are about 300 acres of cabbages in and around Crystal Springs, that the crop is good and prices fine. Because of the disaster that over took the cabbage growers last season the acreage was reduced somewhat. Prices were below the cost of production, and many truckers eliminated cabbage this year. They are now sorry for it. The price being paid for cabbage at Crystal Springs is from s1.50 to $2 per crate, and an acre of land should make 150 crates sometimes more. Cabbage at $2 per crate is good money--better than was expected. There will be some 300 carloads of this savory vegetable shipped out of Crystal Springs during the next few weeks.
 Once the cabbage crop is gotten rid of the truckers will plant the same land to corn or cotton, and will get 50 bushels of rorn or about a bale of cotton per acre in

 According to MT. Day, the truckers have enjoyed magnificent season so far, and all kinds of vegetables are doing as nicely as could be asked Tomatoes, the chief crop at Crystal Springs are few days late. perhaps, but the plant is growing rapidly and the young fruit is forming nicely The young tomatoes are now as large around as half dollar in in many patches and putting on size every day of the week.
 Great quantities of turnips, radishes, lettuce. spinach and other vegetables have been shipped, and are still going out, but the average grower is now devoting his time and energies to cabbage, which is just beginning to move out In earnest. The object of MT. Days trip to the north west is to arrange for the handling of the cabbage crop promptly, as he expects prices to drop ere long.
 Some of the truckers have sold their cabbage in the field, and at frst-rate prices, but the most of them will attend to their own shipping through commits sion men,
