PULLMAN WOMEN STUNG

Several Pullman women were in
Guided in the long list Of victims of
the "10c petticoat" fraud which,
once started, spread through the en-
tire United States and included thou
sands upon thousands Of economical
ly inclined women in its list OF VIC
tins. Advertisements inserted In
daily newspapers offered any woman
a silk petticoat of 1917 design for
1Oc," the only string attached to the
offer being that each applicant ac-
quaint a certain number of friends
with the "blg bargain" Ten-cent
pieces flooded the mails Of the ma
of the scheme, located in
an eastern city, until Uncle Sam took
an interest in the case and the pro
motors" fled, leaving multitudes OF
the letters from eager women, each
containing loo piece. The scheme
ia branded az a huge fraud, designed
to mulch women OF their hard
earned dimes, and with no intention
of making good the offer.

HARRY BECKETT DIES
FROM HEART FAILURE
Suddenly at Dayton Monday
Afternoon-Wa Son of MIR.
and Mrs. &. Nj. Beckett
of johnson

Harry z. Beckett, son of Mr. and
Mrs. C. NJ. Beckett of near Johnson
and well known in Pullman, died
suddenly from heart failure Monday
afternoon near Dayton. where he has
resided for several years. Concern
ing the death of the well known
young man the Columbia County Dis
patch, published at Dayton. had the
following to say in its Tuesday edi.
ton:
while driving a calf up the Mel
cum grade shortly after noon yester-
day, Harry f. Beckett passed away
from heart failure. the remains being
found by mountaineer at about
2:30 o'clock. the horse and dog both
standing by.
Jess Hartley who was notified oil
Mr.. Beckett's death, phoned word to
town and Coroner Andy Knight
Sheriff viii Wooten, DR.. Brunjes and
Grant Burkhart Immediately went out
to take charge of the remains. Lat
er Undertaken G. r. Rogg, who was
summoned, brought the remains to
the Hubbard e Rogg undertaking
parlors. Mr.. Beckett had gone up
the Patti Oh horseback for calf,
which he was driving up the grade
on foot, leading his horse. The ex-
ira exertion was evidently too much
for his heart, which had been giving
him trouble for several years.
"Mr. Beckett was born in Colum-
bia county, in fact, near where he
died, 35 years ago. He had lived in
Whitman county several years pre-
yious to his returning here eight
years ago and was educated in the
State College at Pullman. He re-
turned here as agent for the Kerr
Clifford company and held that posi-
ton until they withdrew from this
territory about two and a half years
ago, when he went on the farm Of
his father-in law, Add Cahill.
"Mr. Beckett was member OF the
local K. Of P. lodge, and was secre-
tary of the Dayton Commercial Club
before going on the ranch. He was
a most congenial, companionable
young man and Trustworthy, en-
terprising citizen.
"Mr. Beckett Is survived by his
wife, formerly Lulu Cahill, a little
daughter, Charlotte, and his father
and mother in Whitman county, and
three sisters, one at home in Whit
man county, another In Canada and
a third In Oregon. No funeral sr-
engagements have been made as the
Dispatch goes to press"

OLE HANSON SPOKE
. TO LARGE AUDIENCE
Aroused Much Enthusiasm by His
Clear and Forceful Arguments
i'm support of Wilson

Ole Hanson, two years ago the pro-
gressive nominee for u. S. senator,
Thursday evening of last week adj
dressed an audience which packed
the city hall. In point of size and
enthusiasm 1t was by far the most
successful rally of the campaign. Mr..
Hanson is always a forceful and ct
times an eloquent speaker, and from
start to finish he held the close at
tention OF his audience and frequent
ly aroused hearty applause. He was
introduced by M. s. lamar, and said,
in part:
II did not come here tonight to
make democratic nor a republican
speech. | came here to talk to the
people of this city as an American
citizen, who loves his country ami
believes in its ideals and principles.
believe that American citizenship is
far nobler and grander label for
anyone to bear than the label of any
political party on earth
Il have always said and still main
tain, that man who will not leave
his party for the good of his coun-
try, should be forced to leave the
country for the good of all parties.
al am not here to talk to you of
Wilson as the democratic president
do not allow the democrats Of this
nation to claim Woodrow Wilson as
their own president. He is my presl-
dent. He Is the president of every
man and woman, of this broad land.
am not here to condemn either Of
the candidates who are before the
people for this position, but to con-
slider what has been done during the
past four years. We meet to con-
slider what President Wilson has
done to entitle him to our support.
"After the great contest which was
waged in this country four years
ago, and when the smoke of battle
had cleared away, We found that the
republican party had been defeated;
we found also that the progressiyes
had been defeated and that man
the man that | did not work for, the
man that / was against, the man that
the progressives did not support, had
been elected president of these Unit
ed States.
I'VE went back to our homes, not
discouraged but feeling that the peo-
pie had made a mistake. ] am here
mistake when they elected Woodrow
Wilson president, but that the pro-
gressiyes made the mistake in not
supporting Woodrow Wilson for
president
Now what did the progressiyes
promise the people of this nation four
years ago? What was that platform?
And who was it that carried this
platform out and enacted these de-
mands?"
The speaker then discussed the
numerous progressive measures
which have Teen enacted during the
administration of President Wilson
and argued that it was the duty OF
all real progressiyes to support the
man who had given them what they
wanted. He drew a vivid picture Of
the horrors of war and closed with
an eloquent appeal to his hearers TO
give their votes to the president who
had maintained peace with honor"

a new high-water mark for grain

lished here this week when red wheat
went to $1.40, with club three cents

their holdings. 1t is estimated by
local buyers that so per cent of the

the greater part of it at prices above

watching the markets closely and
most of them are expected to unload
