WILL ISSUE BONDS TO
PAY IMPROVEMENTS
City Will Issue sos, 6O4.SO in Bonds
in Payment for Paving Districts
10, IL and IL

Mayor Shaw will in the very near
future affiX his official cognomen to
six per cent bonds to the extent of
S,604.S0 in full payment for paw
ing work done by the Warren Con-
structiOn company in Districts 10, /.
and 10. While payment for the i'm
prOvements in the various districts
must be made by the profiting prop
erty owners, this course is taken to
relieve the owners of heavy immedi-
ate payments, and the bonds will
issue as lien against the benefitting
property, to be redeemed by the
property owners in 10 equal yearly
payments at six per cent interest, or
at once, as they desire. The War
rem company is granted the privilege
Of holding the bonds and making the
yearly collections them selves or of
selling them, and will probably
adopt the latter course.
The cost of improvement in Dis
trict No. 10 was $16,876 and bonds
in this amount will be issued against
that district. In District No. l. the
total cost of paving was $36, 1890
and in District No. Is the cost was
SIS, 55S.90. Work is at present pro-
crossing on two other districts, but
payment will not become due until
next spring, when additional bonds
tC cover the total cost of the two dis
tricts will be issued by the city.

MONEY IS RAISED
FOR The HOG SHOW
Foster Urges Farmers
to Exhibit and Bring In Fat Hogs
To Sell Buyers

| wish to again call the attention
OF the hog men in the Palouse coun-
try and elsewhere that the time OF
holding the Pullman Hog Show is
drawing near--Noyember 28 and 30.
The merchants and citizens of Pull
man have responded right nobly in
supplying the funds necessary to pay
the premiums.
There will be nothing lacking In
the efforts of the Chamber of Com
MERGE to provide suitable accommo-
dation for the hogs, irrespective of
weather conditions. Every member
OF the Pullman Chamber of Com
merce is working heartily with one
end in view, namely, that the Second
Annual Hog Show VIII be something
far in advance of anything of its kind
not only in the Palouse country, but
in any locality in the Inland Empire.
OF course, cooperation is neces-
sary to secure this result, and we
hope to be assured that the farmers
will do their part by sending in their
entries at an early date. While we
wish to see the breeding classes in
their separate divisions well filled, 1t
is particularly desired that the entry
OF fat hogs shall be many, so that the
buyers who will be present will not
De disappointed. Show hogs always
bring better prices, especially where
competition is keen. We trust, there
fore, that the farmers will reserve
the best for the show. Last year
many of the fat barrows were ship
ped out previous to the show, the
farmers claiming that If they had
only known the Hog Show was some
thing more than an affair on paper
they would have reserved the best.
This year there is no excuse on that
score.
The Hog Show means much to hog
rasers. 1t affords an opportunity To
the different breeders to make sales,
because men in need of both sexes
VIII come here. 1t means encour-
agement to raise not only more, but
better hogs 1t Is a waste of valu-
able time to try to make scrub
hog or any other scrub animal pay.
We have an ideal hog country, where
they can be cheaply raised by giving
them proper care and attention.
When farmer ships a load of
hogs the fertility of the soil on his
farm is not shipped in the same car.
For consuming the by-products, of
which there are an abundance on
every farm, the hog has no equal,
and while | would not advise any
farmer to make hog raising his one
and only aim in life by going to ex-
tremes in raising hogs, forgetful of
the fact that the hog is only part OF
the equipment necessary to make a
farm profitable, | certainly would
say that the hog is a mighty factor
in assisting, not only to make farm
life what it ought to be, pleasure,
but also what is best of all, profit
able.
We are anticipating a large entry
in every division, and personally l
have faith that the hogs will be in
evidence on November % and 20.
Send in entries at once. Premium
lists can be had for the asking.

Supt. of Exhibits.

COMMON HONESTY.

Professor Asa Gray, of Harvard,
in his Botany" wrote'o the plant
called Common Honesty, that it was
still to be found occasionally in coun-
try places. 1t is to be found also in
the crowded streets of city.
There are q thousand simple ways
to cheat, of which most people do not
care to take advantage. The major
ityof business transactions take hon
.esty for grantetas automatic, and a
mans word is considered as good as
his bond. Elf this were not so, fiscal
operations which ,todayiprocGed with
asmoothness and CELEBRITY would be-
come hopelessly complicated and te-
dious, for 1t would be necessary to
station Waterman at every turn
and then employ a spy to keep him

(Cortinued from Page one.)

BY President Beatty, of the Central
Labor TdniOn.
2 1t originally was intended to take
final action regarding the calling of
the general walk out last night but
union leaders hoping for peaceful
settlement it was said, deferred ac-
ton until tonight.
After hootlng down a proposition
for part of the membership to re-
turn to work, the Transfers union,
at a meeting late yesterday, adopted
aGesolution demanding that the Cen
trail Labor union call general walk
out in sympathy with the teamsters'
strike, which started -four days ago.
a recommendation that the union
vote to permit the return Of employees
Of team owners who had signed all
agreement to pay the union scale Of
wages, and not discriminate agains'
union men to return 10 work was
made by Thomas j. Farrell, general
organizer of the union. Farrell said
the employers of about 1900 men
had signed the agreement and asked
that these men be permitted to return
to work. Cries of "NO, no." greeted
the accommodation, and II was boot
ed down.
Before Farrell made the rccommen-
dation, John +. McNamee, editor of
the Locomotive Firemen and Engi-
necrs' magazine, and Cal Wyatt, rep
resenting the American Federation OF
Labor, addressed the transfers and
asked them TO consider wisely the
proposal Farrell would submit. The
plan was suggested by the Ventral
Labor union.

NINE MONKEYS DIE
u :. PLAYING WITH STOVE.

INDIANAPOLIS. Dec. 5.-An at

LIKE MeLUKE SAYS,

You may have noticed the high
cost of living hasn't reduced the
wages of sin to any extent.
1t makes fat woman feel good all
over when she sees another fat wo-
man who is fatter than she is.
A woman can put it all over a
bloodhound when she engages in a
man hunt.
There isn't much fun in being
poor, but it certainly does cut down
your chances OF being opened up for
appendicitis.
Two can live as cheaply as one.
But one of the two is sure going to
be mighty skinny.
1t isn't nice thing to say. But It
often happens that u mans friends
do him more harm than his enemies.
A man can't do It, buta woman
can take off enough clothing to keep
her cool in summer and put on just
enough to keep her warm in winter.
When two men like the same peO-
pie they become friends. When two
women hate the same people they be-
come Chums.
The only difference between cats
and dogs is that dog Is always try
ing to get into the house and a cat Is
always trying to get out.
Women are so contrary that CIV
ing them vote would leave the coun-
.ry just where it is at present. Ev-
Try Democratic husband would have
Republican wife and every Repub-
lean husband would have Demo-
ratio wife. And old maids wouldn't
ell their ages to get chance to reg
lister. So what's the use?
There are so doggOne many smart
Alec boys nowadays that a man kind
of longs for one OF the old-fasEioned
Bill and Jims who tok off their caps
and said "Yes, SIR" when you spoke
10 them.
Just after the honeymoon she calls
after him and says: Didn't you for
get something, dear" and he knows
lie has forgotten to kiss her goou-by,
Some years later, when he hears the
same call, he remembers that he has
forgotten to kick in with the two
beans he promised her for pair Of
shoes or the five bucks he was sand
bagged into conserving to donate for
hat.
Carnegies peace palace at The
Hague Is a joke. Why doesn't he hire
a hall over here and settle the argu-
ment between I'm Union There i9
Strength" and "A Full Days Work
For a Full Days Pay?"
1t takes all sorts Of people to make
up a world. A reformer is a man
who rejoices in the high cost of liv-
ing because it will discourage some
other men who might imagine that
they could support two flats as cheap
iy as one.-Enquirer,

UN-AMERICAN AMERICANIsM.

We have been so surfeited with all
sorts of real and unreal peculiarities OF
American speech in English works of fic-
ton that of these there is no need of fur
nishng further illustration. Accordingly
let one be taken of the opposite char
acter Almost any English novel in
which an American Is introduced will
supply examples. For instance, in them

country as the States" In Trollope's
novel of The American Senator the

interviewing their occupants. In a more
recent novel an American newcomer in

these could be multiplied almost endless

has perfect right to say 1t But it is
something which an American would not

saying it betrays ignorance of the lam

period Immediately following the Revo-
luton when the phrase was occasionally
employed here. But as the sense of the
unity Of the nation became more and
more predominant, this method Of ex-
preston, never common. went out Of
use altogether. Accordingly, the aimee
team speaks of the United States" not
OF the State" not unless he
has mixed so much In English society
! that his natural utterance has conscious
lily or unconsciousy become sophisticated
or he has so familiarized himself with
English works Of fiction that he has

WHAT A SPARROW DID.

Theodore NJ. r. Won Keller in Leslie's.) }
What is perhaps the most remark
able accident that ever occurred was
reported last month from Germany. A
large touring car was travelling at fair
speed along a boulevard lined with
trees. Large tiocks of sparrows were
in the trees, and several were taking
chances of being arrested by the po-
lice by shooting at the birds with sling
shots, One pebble, particularly we'll
aimed, struck a sparrow on the upper
wing and sent him gliding through the
air directly toward the driver Of the
car; the bird struck him full in the
face, and in the next instant things
began to happen. The driver clutch ed
at his eyes, the car lurched into the
ditch, knocking down a telegraph pole,
vaulted to plowed field on the other
side of the ditch, and went full force
into a huge haystack. Despite this
wild swerve, no one was even scratch
ed except the driver, whose eyesight
was damaged by the claws of the
sparrow. The whole incident had
taken far less time than needed TO
relate 1t.
