hind in this city.

of Montclair booked transportation
for Rio on the Voltaire for himself,
his wife, his sons, Henry, George and
Manoel A Jr., and his daughters, Ar
gentine and Ruth. The parents and
Manoel Jr., boarded the Voltaire at
lis p. M, quarter of an hour be-
fore sailing. The others stopped on
their way from Montclair to dine and
found through a restaurant clock, an
hour slow. that they had time to see
the moving pictures

RAIN AIDS PALoUSE CROP.
Vegetation Shows Improved COndi-
ton After Shower.

ColfaX, Wash "A steady rain fell
here. The rain came without wind.
All kinds of vegetation is showing i'm
proved conditions and fears of in
jury by heat have vanished.
p. w. Cox of Hay, one of the most
extensive farmers of this county, said ::
Some damage was done by the heat
in western Whitman county. The mer-
curry reached 100 in the shade sever
al days can can not help hurting the
grain. The cool weather has stopped
further damage, but can not undo
the damage already done. If we have
cooler weather and an occasional
shower the crop will be we'll above the
average"
In the central and eastern parts of
Whitman county, where fall grain
forms the greater part of the crop
and the soil is heavier and the grain
is larger, the injury has been slight.
The showers are believed to be of
more benefit than the hot wave was
injury to the crop. A good rain now
would be highly beneficial to grain.

PIECES OF GLASS
LODGED IN HIS JAW

Washington.-Rather a remarkable
experience was that of George E.
Diggs, head waiter in a fashionable
apartment, who, for almost a life
time, unknowingly carried in his an
atomy a piece of glass one-eighth of
an inch wide and five -eighths of an
inch long. Although the glass had
been hidden in the flesh of his jaw
for a quarter of a century, Diggs did
not begin to feel the effects of it un-
til recently. He went to a physician
who prescribed a linlment which had
the effect of drawing the glass to the
surface of the skin. Feeling a hard
substance in his jaw Diggs pulled 1t
out and found it was a fragment OF
glass. He explains that when but
four years old he pulled a wondow
down on himself and that pieces OF
glass stuck in his jaw, but at the time
it was though that all Of them had
been removed.
