The congregation is increasing and a good choir would bo greatly ajipreciated. Who'll organize one? Our County Jail.—ln the Habeas Corpus case of Michael Schrcck heard at the last term of court, it was shown by expert testimony that the county jail at Colfax was an unfit place to confine any one. It was compared to the "Black hole of Calcutta." The court, after hear ing tho evidence, ordered the sheriff to find better quarters for t'jo prisoners at the county's expense. Our advanced state of civilization demands that the health of all those who aro confined in prisons, 6hall be protected and cared for, and from tho evidence in this case it it is evident that our county jail is a barbarous placo in which to confine any one. It's a Daisy.—Hon. A. T. Faries' new house is about completed, and ho has left nothing undone to make it a model of convenience and artistic skill. The main entrance leads into a hall, the front door of which is embelished with an ele gant stained glass window. To the left of the hall, and leading from it, is the library, bespeaking the taste of the own er, and away from all noise. In the rear of this is an airy bed-room directly con nected with the bath-room, the latter to be supplied with hot and cold water. Across the hall from the library is the parlor, corr.modious, and commanding an excellent view of tho city and sub urbs. Folding doors separate this from the dining-room and the two, if occasion calls, can be made into one large room. The kitchen is all that a kitchen should be, and the pantry! the completeness of this will be tho envy of all the ladies. Leading up from tho hall to the second floor is an elegant stair-case, rich in its design and finish. Tho upper apart ments are roomy and in keeping with the rest. At the rear of the building Mr. F. proposes to erect a wood-shed, cellar and ice house under one roof. The house will be fitted throughout with new and appropriate furnishings, and when tho finishing touches are added to the exterior it will be a credit and ornament to our city. The Liberal Advertiseb.—lt is an invariable rule that the man who is stingy and penurious about advertising is stingy and penurious in his other business transactions. The same busi ness spirit and enterprise that prompts a man to use printer's ink liberally in making his business known, prompts him to deal liberally with his customers so that he may hold their trade. The man who sits in his store and waits for cus tomers to hunt him up does not have many of them, and, consequently, he must make the most out of those he has. On the other hand, tho man who, week after week, invites the public, through the medium of the newspaper, to come and examine his goods, telling them when he has new goods, and when spec ial bargains aro being offered, naturally attracts more trade than his sluggish neighbor, and he can afford to sell his goods cheaper. In addition to this, the leading public is indebted to the adver tisers for enabling them to get cheap j newspapers. Were it not for the reve | nue derived from advertising, papers that are sold for 82.00 per year could not i be purchased for four times that amount. These are facts worth considering when buying goods, and buyers will always find that they act for their own interest when they patronize the liberal advertis er. Note our Pullman merchants, for instance. —Mr. and Mrs. Wallace, of Colton, were in town Friday. —Dr. Webb's little daughter Flossie, has been on the sick list since our last issue, but is much improved at this writ ing. Ditto Erve Krice's little boy. —M. S. Phillips has just received a new invoice of furniture. There is a bed-room set in particular, that few deal ers outside of large cities, cau afford to keep in stock. —Don't forget that the marqnerado ball at Reaney's hall, is on New Years night, and not on New Year's eve, as some have erroneously thought. Spec tators will bo admitted for the. small sum of 25 cents. —Have you read McConnell, Cham bers & Co.'s ad. as it now appears in the Herald? If not, do so, and you will fin 3 just what you want. It is in keep ing with the enterprising go-ahead spir it of the firm. —The latest news from E. L. Farrand, who is at the Walla Walla hospital, un der the care of Dr. Blalock, is that he is improving and the chances are favorable for his recovery, which will bo agreeable news to his friends. —Last Monday evening pome budge inspired individual with pugilistic aspir ations, sought to relieve his pent up feelings by putting his fist through a pane of glass in the window of the store room formerly occupied by Philip Bre mer. —H. S. Conover, of Minneapolis, Minn., who represents thefirm of L. S. Seaver & Co., grain merchants of that city, has been in town the past week and taking a look over our county. He has bought 100,000 bushels of wheat, this fall, in the Palouso country, and expects to greatly increase that amount next season. The superior quality of our wheat is now be ing recognized by eastern millers. —The subscription list of tho Herald is booming, and more, too. This is en couraging. Geo. Neighbor, G. F. Lyle, Wilbur Keith, Howard Cass, J. J. Lar wood, W. G. Sparrow, O. S. Sehrader, W. H. Kitzmiller, R. Knight, of Moscow, C. A. Higgins, Geo. D. Hunter, Edwin Burgess, and several others are the very latest additions. And, remember, you can have this paper and the San Francisco Call one year for only 82.55, cash. Sam ple copies of the Call free at this office. —Tho east bound train on tho O. R. & N., -which left Colfax two hours late, on Sunday last, was further delayed by two slight accidents. When about three miles from Colfax, the train, which was a long one, broke in two, and the engineer did not discover the loss of about half the train until he reached Riverside. Again, between Shawnee and Guy, the same performance was repeated. It was nearly eleven o'clock when the train reached Pullman. —Action should be taken at onco to erect street lamjjs to the depots. It is at the risk of personal injury to go to the depots in the dark, even to those who are familiar with the side walks, much more so to strangers coming in on the trains. Besides it gives strangers a bad impression of the town. If some one is injured the town may have to pay more for damages than it would cost to light the whole town for many years. And, by tho way, what is the matter with the present street lamps that they arj not lighted on dark nights? Let us have light. —The stockholders of the Pullman Land and Improvement Co., met on tho evening of tho 2Gth inst. and adopted tho by-laws. After the stockholders meeting the trustees met and organized by unanimously electing the following officers: M. S. Phillips, president; M. C. True, vice president; W. V. Windus, treasurer; Thomas Neill, secretary. The subscription book was then opened and the whole capital stock ($6000) was im mediately subscribed for. The Co. will at onco purchase property in Pullman, for the purpose of improving it, and selling only to those who will build. —The elementary conditions have been so favorable this fall as to allow tho farmers a continuance of that very necessary occupation —plowing, up to the 22d day of December, 1888. But, on the morning of the 23d, the men who were so unfortunate as not to have fire building wives, realized that the atmos phere had assumed a sudden frigidity that was not excessively agreeable to early risers. There was a light fall of snow during tho day and enough crispi ness in the air to make the 25th seem like a genuine Christmas, which was du ly observed ia this vicinity. ;^ow is the time to form a board of trade, or organization, to secure our share of the spring emigration to this territory, and to act on matters pertaining to the improvement and advancement of Prill man and vicinity. What is everybody's business is generally neglected. Manu facturing enterprises can bo induced to locate here by organized effort, and the advantages of Pullman can be made known only, by judicious advertising. We cannot expect people in the east to know that Pullman offers superior ad vantages over other parts in thePalouse country, unless we inform them of that fact, and this should be done before they have decided to locate elsewhere, as they generally know their objective point be fore leaving home. What do yon say to calling a meeting for the purpose of discussing the matter? —Evidently* there is a good deal of money nrloat among the snwll boys of Pullman. We judge from the following brief but pointed conversation which we overheard the other day at the post office: " Tom and me went huntin' last week," said the first boy. '•Get any thinif* asked the other boy, anxiously. " You bet! We got sixteen rabbits— wholloj>ers, too." " Sixteen! No. yer didn't." "Y'lie! we did."" "No yer didn't." " Til bet ye a hundred dollars Wo did —so!" '•Bet ye a thousand dollars ye didn't —come!" And then there was a pause, as Capt. Phillips appeared at the door and looked benignly at them over his spectacles. Ewartsyill?. :■'; >* Regular Correspondence. .-. Christmas passed off quietly at E warts ville; .no public entertainment. Mr. Kirkpatriek and family, Mr. Benedict and,family, Mr. Mills and family and A. J. Whitten, were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. O. F. Heal<\ After pinner, Sants Clans came in with a tree and lots of presents for the little folks. We are glad to note that Johney Klemgard, who has been very sick for two months, is improving. We are informed that John Booth lost a valuable horse a few days ago. The cause, was thought to be bots. A. J. Whitten has treated himself to a new hack. The literary and debating club held no session this week, as it was Christmas. The next meeting will be Tuesday even ing, Jan. 1. U. Know. Our School Supplies.—Last Wed nesday the supplies for our public school arrived from Portland. They have been examined and pronounce d, by those competent to judge, the very best and most complete collection of the kind, in the county. These things are abso lutely necessary to a first class graded school, such as Pullman proposes to have. As our readers are aware, the la dies of this place '• put their, shoulders to the wheel," and, with the net proceeds of the suppers that they gave (3122.55'), purchased these much needed accessories. The set. including freight, cost $89.7 which, by the way, was a bargain, and contained the following: One complete set of maps in case; one set Wilson's physiological charts in case; one Apple ton's elementary reading chart (fine); one numerical frame; one set cube root blocks; Webster's unabridged, indexed dictionary with an elegant stand; two call bells; one fractional apple; one doz en blackboard erasers; map of Oregon and Washington territory; one magnet; and six pointers. The ladies have $32. --80 left in their treasury towards the purchase of a bell.
