MAY SEND ATHLETES
TO CHICAGO MEET

ColfaX citizens have started a
movement to send the county seat S
two premier athletes, Merton Parker
and Earl Nordyke, to the big high
school track meet at Chicago next
month. The two boys established
new interscholastic records at the
meet here last Friday, and local
track mentors predict that they
would make a most creditable show
ing at the big eastern meet. Parker
ran the 440-yard dash here Friday
in 80 3-5 seconds, or 3-5 seconds
better than the best time ever made
at the Chicago meets, while his time
in the SS0-yard run, min. ) Is
secs, Is the same as that made at
Chicago last year. Nordyke's record
Of 26 % seconds in the 22O-yard
hurdles at the interscholastic is but
one-ftfth Of second slower than the
time made at Chicago last year, and
has not been equaled in the east this
year. ColfaX has an excellent OPP
portunity to secure valuable adver-
Using through the performances of
her two athletes, and will make a
mistake if the two boys are permit
ted to remain at home because of
financial reasons.

ASK COUNCIL TO REGU-
LATE MERCHANDISING

Asking relief from travelling m Ter
chants who are not taxed in the city
of Pullman and who appropriate
nothing toward the improvement and
upkeep of the city, a number of
Pullman merchants Tuesday evening
petitioned the council to pass an or
dinance prohibiting the exhibition or
sale at retail of any merchandise by
any firm, persons or their agents who
are not permanently established in
the city of Pullman except upon
payment of a license fee of $500,
which shall be good for one month.
The petition also asks that any bill
ing of the city, including the use of
posters, handbills or other loose ad-
vertising matter, by any firm or per-
sons not permanently in business in
Pullman. be prohibited until such
time as the council shall regulate
this practice by ordinance and rem
edy the present evil.
Following the reading of the pc
tition a councilmanic committee con-
sisting of Messrs. Kruegel, Hammond
and Scott was appointed to confer
with the local merchants in regard
to an amendment to the existing Ii
cense ordinance. This committee
will report at the next meeting of
the council when it is probable that
some relief will be afforded.

WILL REPAIR ROAD

Objection was made before the
council Tuesday evening to the pre-
sent condition of the road west OF
the vinegar factory, which is almost
impossible. The council voted to APP
propriate $500 toward the improve
ment of the road, and a committee
was appointed to take the matter mp
with the cham Der of commerce and
interested persons, with a view to a
speedy remedy.

PULLMAN BEATS ALBION

The Pullman city baseball team
opened the season last Sunday after
noon, when the Albion city team was
taken into camp by score of to 2.
The game was Pullmans all the way,
and the way the locals cayorted
around the diamond and swatted out
base hits proved that Pullman will
have a baseball team in the field
this year that will at least hold its
own.

UNITED STATES
SENATORS GET
FREE SLAVES
Now 1t is Understood Why
There is Such a Hard Fight
for the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-The Sen
atorS of the United States put 1t on
the poor representatives. all the time.
The senators get shaved free, while
the members of the lower chambers,
desiring 10 rid their chins Of hIrsute
adomment. have to pay the BARRIERS
in the House basement. In the up
per chamber, however, the senator is
furnished with a BARRIERS attendance
free OF cost to him. The government
pays,
Three BARRIERS are maintained for
the express use Of the senator's, They
arc listed on the payroll as skilled
laborers" and get $1,000 a year each
from the federal exchequer. The
free shave is one OF the senators i'm
memorial perquisites, and one to
which they cling tcnaciously.
"The House pays for its shaves be-
cause it is moro democratic" said
Representative John A. Moon, chair
man Of the postoflce committee Of the
House, in commenting on free shaves
for senator's. I'VE want to pay for
everything we get in this body. We
don't grudge the senators a single
stroke OF their free razors, but are
glad to pay honest wages for our
own"
Another way in which the senator's
get the best Of the representatives is
in cedar chess. Each senator gets two
cedar chests at the beginning Of each
session Of Congress, so that he can
store public documents in them" The
representatives get only one apiece. 1t
is alleged on good authority that on
one occasion a senator did store public
documents in his cedar chest, but the
rumor IS unconfrmed. The chests
are worth about IS apiece, and are
greatly priced by the families Of the
congressman as places to store
clothes. They are made in the work
rooms Of the government, most care
fully constructed, and have bcauti-
full appearance.
but the shave, all there's the rub"
exclaimed one Republican representa-
tive, bemoaning the fact that the up
per body was barbcred free. There
is no reason why a bewhiskered sena-
tor should enjoy a shave at the gov
ernment's expense and we poor repre-
sentatlves of the people be forced to
pay our hard earned money for bar
bers. 1t is but another Of the unjust
determinations in favor of the so
called solons, but what can We do?'
he ended, with a mournful shake OF
his brsute jaw.
John Hickman. Richard A. Shaw
and John Sims are the men who have
to lathcr and scrape the members Of
the upper body. They have perhaps
more intimate contact with the sena-
tors than any three men in Washing
tn. In fact they get next to their
skin, but so far there have been no
reports of lobbying done by them,

ALIMONY
Sought by Man, Who Says
Wife Has Failed to Sup.

OMAHA, Neb., Aug. l9.-Because
Mrs. Limbaugh. Of Omaha failed to
to keep her promise to support her
husband, John G. Limbaugh, he Is
asking the district court to give him
$4,000 in alimony. He complains that
when she proposed marriage to him.
she promised to support him and that
after he married her she did not give
him sufficient food and clothing.
In telling his story to the court.
Limbaugh said that when the woman
proposed marriage to him he pleaded
that he was too old. To this he says
she replied that she would give him
a home and support him. She inner
tied about $4,000 from former hus-
band.
Limbaugh says he is a physical
wreck now as result on his wife's
failure to support him as she said she
