The Grand

taken first rank among all that has

hearts OF the fans. One of the dis

really dances, and Mr.. James Thorn
as who completely stops the doings in

The chorus is composed of twenty

and in fact il is the best drilled chorus

A CRITIC

In order that the public may not get the

them right This self styled Napoleon oil
dramatic writer's has seen fit al different tunes
10 assail those who did not cater to ms
delicate fances, and for such actions he mas
become the most hated man in the profession.
and each time he was eieen no cahsid9raooh.
paper editors think of Russell, | call your
attention 10 these facts. He has been thrown
off OF the Indianapolis Freeman several times
and to show the public what value the big
suppose the reason they take him back was
because OF the fact that they paid him no
salary for his great writing, as his wages were
percentage of the advertisements That he
hustled up. Time and time again he has
asked the editors OF The Whip for position
and each time begged his way back well l
own little handbll called THE Chicago Star
as none Of the big editors consider his york
worth while
As an authority in the theatrical game he
is considered huge joke, and ii is common
gossip among the actors. lie has been beaten
up several times for his slight remarks to,
wards actors. one of them given by :. II.
Dudley and another by Billy King, and he
has been barred from every theatre on the
stroll at different times, and at the present
time is denied free admission 10 the Nendome

1t is the intention OF The Whip to keep its
lash upon the back OF this little mischief
maker, until he is run out OF Chicago. The
real business Of Il dramatic writer IS to con
ane himself to the attraction with a constrac-
tive criticism. and not every line knock,
simply because YOU do not like the performer
personally Give them credit for what they
can do and give it freely and don't expect
them to pay for il, as a real critic can draw a
large enough salary on any paper TO be inde
pendent and give real honest to goodness

FREE BEEF, BEANS AND COFFEE
FOR PICNIC MONDAY, JULY FIFTH

a typical Fourth of July celebration
that will attract people from out
side towns, nor to cater to the de-
sires of those who are fond of big
celebrations, but to provide means
by which those who remain in Pull
man or the Pullman community,
through choice or force of circum-
stances, may enjoy themselves in a
wholesome way. Commercialism
will be conspicuous by its absence.
There will be no concessions, the
only stands to be ice cream, soft
drinks and firecracker stands oper-
ated by the Legion to meet the de-
mands of the youngsters.
Particular attention will be paid
to the children and many of the
sport events will be for the boys and
girls of the community. Merchadise
prizes will be offered in all the
events. Details of the arrange
ments made by each of the commit
tees will be given in The Herald of
next week.
The various committees in charge
of the picnic are as follows:

DOW AUTOMOBILE
STOLEN FROM GARAGE

A new Chevrolet touring car,
owned by City Attorney d. G. Dow,
was stolen from the Baker garage
some time Monday night, but the
loss was not discovered until Tues
day afternoon On the same night
a Chevrolet key was stolen from the
garage of B. II. Douglass, but his
car was not otherwise disturbed,
probably because of the fact that a
large truck was behind 1t in the
garage 1t is believed that the per-
son who stole the key is the same
one who appropriated the Dow auto
mobile The stolen automobile bore
license number 1896, engine num-
Der Dz4370, and car number 640,-
ia The right front wheel carried
white tire, the others being black.
The spedometer had been taken
from the car for repairs.
Later-The stolen car was found
by Deputy Sheriff Baker Wednesday
evening near Moscow. where it had
evidently been left by the thieves.
The car was dusty and dirty and had
likely been driven a considerable dis
lance. Mechanically, however, it
was in good shape.

reclined on davenport. Mrs. Pur-
dom entered the rooms five minutes
later and life was extinct, Mr.. Pur-
dom having fallen from the daven-
port to the floor. Angina pectoris

ONLY ONE PAVING BID;
REJECTED BY COUNCIL
Bid of Spokane Concern for Metho-
dist Hill District Considered Too
Iigh---No Bids for Road to
North

Only one bid was submitted to the
city council at it's meeting Tuesday
evening for the paving of the II
blocks comprising the Methodist hill
district, and this was rejected by the
city fathers as exorbitant The bid
was offered by the Portland Cement
association of Spokane, who agreed
to lay concrete paving at $500 per
square yard and bituminous macad-
am for $2.35 per square yard, with
the item for earth excavation S1.25
per cubic yard. While the council
solicited bids on several kinds of
paving, concrete was desired only for
few parts of streets where the
traffic would be exceedingly heavy.
The city fathers considered the fig
ures of the Spokane concern entirely
too high and rejected the bid, at the
same time authorizing the city clerk
to readyertise for bids for the i'm
provement at time to be set by the
council 1t is understood that the
Methodist hill paving will now be
held over until the College Park dis
trict is ready for call for bids, both
calls to be issued at the same time
No bids were offered for the i'm
proyement of the new road leading
to the north city limits on Grand
street and the council will re-adver-
tise for bids for this Improvement at
once. This improvement was esti-
mated at $4,000 and unless bid is
received in response to the neat call
it is not unlikely that the city will
proceed with the Improvement by
day labor, under the supervision of
the city engineer
The uncertainty of the bond mar
ket and the secretly of labor is be-
lieved to be the cause for the dearth
of bids for the two contracts.

OFFICERS TABOO GIRL SHOW

The appearance at the Liberty
theatre last Sunday afternoon of the
Max Sennett bathing girls was Ia
booed at the eleventh hour by offic-
ials OF the city, who claimed that the
show was not a proper one for Sun
day and notified Manager Eddie
man to cancel the attraction. The
troop went on to Colfax and showed
before capacity houses there Sunday
evening, repeating Monday evening.
Several Pullman people who were
disappointed when the engagement
here was cancelled took in the Col
fax performances and report that
the show was clean and wholesome
in every respect.
