Poor House Looms for Bologna"

during his % years of residence in
Pullman. Troubles innumerable
have filled pages of the past history
of the aged Chink, but through it all
he came with undiminished conf
dence in his friends, asking sym
pathy from none and harming not a
soul.
Gong Lee is nearly so years of age
How near probably will never be
known, as he himself has lost trace
OF the flying years. Many years ago
French cook whom Bologna" was
to succeed became angered when his
place was taken from him and
threw a pan OF hot grease over the
Chinaman, inflcting burns which al
most totally destroyed his eyesight.
On occasions innumerable the Chink
has been made the victim of the mis-
chievous small boy and the drunken
brawler, and his infirmities caused
him to come out second best in each
encounter. Only three years ago
Bologna was the object of a suit
for 100000 damages, in which
breach of promise was charged, the
plaintiff being a white woman then
residing in Spokane, but as soon as
the true extent of the Chinaman S
wealth became known to the adven-
turess the case was dropped and
Bologna was permitted to go his
way rejoicing.
Of late years the Chinamans men
tality has failed as rapidly as his
physical system and his finances, and
his mental ramblings have become
pitiable. During the past few days
his mental weakness bacame more
apparent, and Bologna" has poured
into many ears his Authorizations.
The Chinaman claims that he was
once the possessor of 100000,
but that this, together with innum-
cradle deeds to property and other
possessions, have been stolen from
him. He is in constant fear of harm,
and on several occasions has solic-
tied the assistance of citizens, claim
ing that unknown persons are fol-
lowing him, and that they will hang
him. He also claims to have been
elected from his abode by unknown
persons, who threatened to shoot
him. His unfounded fears have re-
duced him to a state of abject cow
ardice. and no more charitable act
could be done than to place him in
the poor house. where he can pass
his remaining days amidst the peace
and comfort which are but his due.

Gong Lee Fails Financially, Physic-
ally, Mentally, and May End
Days at County Farm-Has
Had Many Tribulations

Gong Lee, known to every man,
woman and child in Pullman as
Bologna is destitute, and if plans
launched by the Pullman Chamber
of Commerce materialize, the aged
Celestial will spend his few remain
ing days at the county poor farm,
where he will at least be removed
from the many trials and tribula-
lions which for many years have at
tended the efforts of the Gilman an
to exc out a livelihood. Bologna"
has made a valiant fight to maintain
of financial, physical and mental all
ments has finally overcome the in
domitable spirit and wonderful cour-
age of the Chinaman and he must
look to charity during his remaining
days.
The case of Pullman's lone repre-
sentative from the Flowery Kingdom
was considered by the Chamber of
Commerce Tuesday, and a committee
consisting of Dr.. Archer, j. n. En-
erson and Ohio West was appointed
to investigate, with the result that
application will be made to the
county commissioners for the COM
mitment OF Bologna" to the county
poor farm. The committee found
conditions at the Chinaman's shack
in the perth part of town, in de-
plorable condition. In a hole in the
Chink mattress was found dead
cat, and the filth and CRIME of the
place was sickening. Numerous dogs,
the constant companions of the
Chinaman during the past few years,
and were in a ravenous condition. A
part of the shack had been rented to
Scotchman, and 'Bologna's'
quarters consisted of one small, dark
room, which he shared with his
numerous pets.
Once active and alert, with a keen
mind and wonderful business in
stinct, and supposedly the possessor
of considerable wealth, Gong Lees
unfortunate entrance into the field
of pauperism and dependence will
bring pangs of regret to his many
friends, who have congratulated and
commended the Chinaman for his
uphill fight in the face of big odds

this county. AS a precaution that
we may not have this epidemic in

There are a great many cases OF
colds and la grippe among our neigh

as scarlet fever so be careful not to
visit with those that are having colds.
Remember the Safety First

Don't neglect a cold or sore throat
Don't exchange pencils, clothing
or hats.
Don't spit on the floors or play
grounds.
Don't chew the corners of your
books.
Don't neglect your teeth-brusf
them.
Don't eat too often or too much
of sweets.
Don't play in the streets, it's dan
gerous.
Don't fail to look both ways in
crossing the streets.
Don't fail to help younger chill
dren.
Don't forget that there are others
that have rights also.
Don't forget that your motto
should always be Safety First"
All cases of contagious diseases
must be reported to the city health
officer. Cases that are to be report
ed are as follows: chicken pox, diph-
iberia. cerebo spinal meningitis, Ger
man measles. leprosy, measles, pei
lagra. plague. infantile paralysis

We have been able TO eradicate
the epidemics this past year by tbs
hearty cooperation of the good peo
ME of the city of Pullman. / an
glad to say that we have had fewer
cases of contagion by the getting to
eether and finding out just how tt
avoid spreading infection.

SHAW WILL RUN
AGAINST JACKSON
Former Mayor Announces Decision
To Enter Mayoralty Race at CITY
Election Next Tuesday

DR.. A. e. Shaw, for three success
slVe years mayor oil Pullman, will
make 'stieker" race against Mayor
Harley Jackson for the mayoralty
chair at the general municipal cleo
ton to be held next Tuesday, he hav-
ing announced his decision to enter
the race yesterday, at the solicitation
OF a number of his friends. DR.
Shaw, after serving three successive
years at the head of municipal af-
fairs, was defeated for nomination
by the Rev. Mr.. jackson last fall, and
the contest between the two men
next Tuesday is likely to prove a
lively one.
Aside from the race for the mayor
atty, but little interest will attach TO
the election. unless a contest should
develop for Second ward councilman.
Councilman Ira n Nye, incumbent,
and E. A. Kampen tied for the nom
ination at the primary election and,
under ruling of the city attorney,
the names of both these candidates
will appear ON the Official balloe If
both pay the filing fee Up TO last
night neither had qualified by paying
the fee and it is not i'm probable, in
asmuch as neither Mr. Nye nor Mr..
Kampen have evidenced an inclina-
ton to make campaign for the posi-
ton, that both will be declared dis
qualified for failure to pay the re-
quired fee. In this event the official
ballots would not carry the names
of any candidate for the Second
ward position, and the job would be
thrown open to wild vote.
Other municipal nominees, all oil
whom have paid the filing fees, who
will be unopposed next Tuesday I'M
