Wife and Mother Dead.


The sad and unexpected death of
Mrs. Matlock, wife of T. b. Matlock,
eX-city mafshal, cast a deep gloom
over Pullman. Mrs. Matlock has
been in i'll health for many months,
but heN condition had been much
better than it was a year ago. She
recently caught~aa severe cold, which
ran into pneumonia, and her death
was sudden and entirely unexpected.
Her heart has been weak and heart
failure was the direct cause of death.
Mrs. Matlock was Al years old, and
had lived in Whitman county since
early childhood. She had lived in
Pullman about three years. She
leaves a husband, one son, one daug-
ter, brother and other relatives
and a host of friends to mourn her
departure. Wherever she has lived,
on the farm, in ColfaX and in Pull
man, Mrs. Matlock was known and
loved by many She was a woman of
rare good nature, a firm friend and
had the faculty of making everyone
love and respect her. The funeral
occurred Thursday, interment being
in the cemetery on Tennessee flat,
near Steptoe and near the country
home where she had spent many
happy years. The Herald extends
sympathy to the bereayed family

PULLMAN SCHOOLS CLOSE
MOST SUCCESSFUL YEAR
High School Class Graduated. Other
Classes Complete Labors. Teachers
Employed for Coming Year.

An alliance between the two classes
had been formed and they worked to-
gether tremendously. Members of
the senior and junior classes, rein
forced by members of the eight grade
class, undertook to prevent the soph-
ignores and freshmen from putting
up their colors and fight, which
eclipsed anything of its kind in Pull
man, followed. About 30 of the OBJ
posing forces were captured after a
fight lasting nearly two hours, and
the captives were hog tied" by the
allied forces, and placed in a row on
the sidewalk. A few of the opposing
forces had gone into the bell tower
to take down the pennants which
swung from the flag pole, but were
captured and taken into the assem-
bly, room, where they were tied and
placed on the teachers platform.
Those on the sidewalk were carried
in and placed before them. Then the
yictors sang, danced and enjoyed
themselves until 4;30, when the cap
tiVes were released upon their pro-
mise to leave the school grounds,
which promise they kept religiously.
A number of high school and college
girls, who had formerly attended the
high school, remained up nearly al
night TO witness The fight. Many par

none were hurt seriously, although
some of those who were tied, COM
plained afterward that the ropes were
so tight about their wrists and ankles
that their hands and feet were so
numb they could scarcely walk after
being released. One boy was unable
to use his hands at the breakfast
table the next morning.
The Senior class day exercises,
held in the Assembly hall Tues
day night, attracted a very large and
enthusiastic audience, all the seats
and number of chairs being occupi-
ed. The program, which included
the class calendar, essays, piano and
vocal solos and a selection by the
girls quartet and the glee club, was
recalled for nearly every number.
The class song quartet contest,
in which the freshmen, sophomores
and juniors took part was won by
the freshman glee class. Each of the
three classes had prepared a class
song and judges were selected to
determine which was the best.
The room was very beautifully de-
cOrated with the senior colors black
and gold, and large number of
pennants, representing the different
high schools of the country.
The graduation exercises were
held in the Auditorium, Thursday
night and were attended by a large
audience. The class of 81 occupied
seats on the stage and the address
was delivered by Professor w. G.
Beach, of the State College. The
names of the graduates were pub
lished in last weeks issue of The
Herald.

This week witnessed the closing of
the most successful year in the his
tory Of Pullman's public schools. The
first high school class, which was
also the largest in the county, has
been graduated. Other high and pub
lie school classes have been advanced.
and the work closed with entire sat
lsfaction to patrons, officers and
teachers. The week has probably been
the most eventful one in the history
Of Pullman's schools for many rea-
sons, Twenty-one young men and
young women, have marched side by
side through the various grades
some of lem going from the first to
the highest-haye parted company,
leaving friendships and ties that are
almost sacred. Many of these will en-
ter Washington State College and
The Herald hopes that every one of
IiiSAt VIII MT Only tulcI, Dul tOIl-
plete the full course and graduate
from that great school in the same
class. There is something touching
and beautiful in the sight presented
by a great class like that just
turned out by our high school-the
first it has presented to the world
of young people who have been
friends, school mates (and many of
them sWeethearts) from infancy to
young manhood and young woman
hood. The ties thus formed should
never be broken. The high school,
like the colleges and universities,
should have an alumni, which would
meet at least once each year, and
The Herald suggests that the class
just graduating set the example by
forming an alumni which shall meet
with the graduating classes of 1911,
1912, and each succeeding year.
The week has been memorable for
many fights between classes which,
while entirely good natured, were
fierce and hotly contested.
Saturday night the freshmen flung
their pennant from the top of the
flagpole on the tower of the high
school building, and to prevent it
being taken down, had cut the rope
Sunday night other classmen I'M
dertook to take down the pennant
and two climbed to the top of the
tower, and after an hours work sue
ceeded in tearing down the freshmen
pennant. When they started to de-
scend they found the ladder inside
the tower torn down and the bell
rope, down which they might have
slid, cut.
After a scrap of several minutes
the Adventures were rescued by
classmates, and the freshmen who
had tried to prevent them from de-
scending were driven out of the high
school tower.
Monday night hostilities were re-
newed. After the freshmen and the
sophomores had each been enter
tanned at parties the mem bers of the
two classes met at the high school
building and proceeded to decorate
everything with their class colors.

HORSE SHOW
NEXT FRIDAY
Zig Event Is TO be Held i'm Afternoon
Immediately Following New
York Orchestra.

The date of the big horse show
has been changed from forenoon to
afternoon, next Friday, to accom-
modate the people who will come to
attend the concert of the New York
symphony orchestra and will want
to see the horse show too. Instead of
being held in the forenoon the horse
show will be held in the afternoon,
the Judging beginning at $50 and
the parade at 4.30. Every farmer
with good horse, mare, colt or mule
should bring it into town that day
and let it be seen by the visitors who
viii come from other towns.
J. j. Rouse is entitled to a great
deal of the credit for the success of
the horse show, for he has probably
done more to awaken interest in 1t

SPOKANE WINS
THE BIG MEET
an Present Agree that This Years
Meet Was Best in History of
the State College.

Tho Interscholastic Field meet held
bore last Saturday was a grand sue
eess. from every point of view 1t was
financial success and the winners
were scattered over greater terri
tory than ever before. More schools
won points than in any previous
meet and it required the relay race
to decide the winner of the meet
Snokane won it, but she had to fight
for every point and the relay race
the last event on the program, would
have given the meet to any one of
four schools, so closely were the lead
ers punched.
It is safe to say that this meet will
bring greater benefits to Pullman
and the State College than any pre-
yious meet, for many smaller schools,
which had never before been able to
make a point, took home trophies
and the students of those schools
will come back next year determined
to win more points, and many OF
those who participated in last Satur-
days meet will be enrolled as stu
dent of Washington State College
next fall, or in the near future.
The weather was about as pad as
could be expected, cold rain hay
ing fallen early Saturday morning
and this was followed by cold, hard
wind, and occasional showers during
the day The preliminary events were
run off during the forenoon and were
witnessed by a fair attendance, and
everything was in readiness for the
afternoon program which began al
2 o'clock with one of the largest
audiences ever gathered at an inter
scholastic field meet here. The com
mittee had things we'll in hand and
the meet was pulled off in record
time. Tekoa probably did more than
any other school to surprise the au-
dience for, although one of the small
est schools in the contest, it tied two
others for second place and gave
Spokane a hard rub for the relay
race which, had Tekoa won it, would
have given that school the meet and
both the McCroskey and Murray
sqRs.
- Following is the schedule of the
events, and the list of points won by
the various schools:

VIRTUE IN SMOKING.

One Man Who Now Has an Argument
Handy For HIS Wife.
The wife of a Topeka man objects
strenuously because her husband is n
confirmed smoker. He is never happy
without u cigar or a pipe. The other
morning she gave him Il ten dollar bill
and told him to buy several things for
her. He pushed the bill! into his coat
pocket and rushed out of the house 10
catch Il car.
He found that he had to wait Il few
minutes at the corner. for the cars
were off schedule that morning, and
then he proceeded to light Il cigar. but
he found no ma %tches-all of his peck
cts We're bare o. them. Suddenly he
happened to think that he also missed
the ten dollar bill. a hurried search
disclosed that it was gone
He turned right about and retraced
his steps. Just as he got in front OF
his home he happened to look into the
street, and there was that ten" tum-
bling around In the wind. His wife
saw him go and pick it up, and she de
manded an explanation. He promptly
told her how looking for a match had
caused him to discover that he had
lost the bill.
Now tell me there isn't any virtue
In smoking!." he snorted as he puifed

Ross Mclaughlin transacted
business in Blair today.

"Old Dick" the express horse
was sold today to Ed d. Bradley
who purchased him for Chas.
Ellis of Mondamin. Dick has
been in the American Express
services ever since he was four
years old. First he was used
in Omaha until his feet got to
tender for the hard pavement
and then was sent here
where he has been in service up
to last week. The old familiar
scene Of "Old Dick" going
across the street dragging his
weight, after a banana peeling
or an apple, which someone has
offered him will be no more in
this city as he will be taken TO
his new home in Mondamin to-
morrow. We think when a
horse has put in as many years
of faithful service as "Old
Dick has that the American
Express Co might at least put
him on a grass pension for the
rest of his days.
