Whitman county people will have i no trouble to keep that "wolf'j i from their doors the coming winter. > —The following from the Minne apolis (Minn.) Times will be of in terest to many Pullman readers: "Win.

Mr. Grosskopf's home and headquarters will be in Spokane. He has been long in the grain business, starting as a tele graph operator twenty years ago. He went to the Pacific coast in the interest of the Coe Commission Co. about 18 months ago, and for the past year has been in charge of a large number of outside offices con trolled from the main office in this city." —The railroads have granted a half-fare rate to the public who wish to attend the Spokane interstate fair, although this rate applies to one day only.

The tickets will be on sale as far as Walla Walla from October 3 to 9 and will be good for return until October 10. —The public schools are to open Sept. 12th, and then the boys and girls (the "future hope of our coun try" ) will be very much in evidence. They have had a long vacation, as have their teachers, and should now come back to their studies with re newed vigor and a determination to make the most of their excellent op portunities. The importance of such training cannot be over-esti mated. It is of much importance, too, that the best of instructors be emyloyed, and in this respect Pull man is most fortunate, our School Board having used every effort to secure the ablest teachers possible. —That usually staid and respect able span of horses, the Palace Ho tel 'bus team, came very near to a first-class runaway last Sunday. Returning from the depot with the baggage dray, one of the straps holding the neckyoke broke, allow ing the wagon to hit the heels of the animals, and after a bit they be came angry and made a desperate endeavor to run; but the driver, none other than the genial " Bill" White, held on to them like grim Death, and succeeded in stopping them on Paradise street without damage. —This is thjday of the hobo and the hold-up and it behooves all hon est citizens to maintain a close watch upon this element as its member-, hang about the town. Robberies and fires caused by them are fre quent in adjoining towns, and Pull man may prove no exception. The warehouses are favorite places of rendezvous for these toughs, and tftey should not be allowed to re main near them on any pretext. Keep 'em moving on. NUMBER 48 Another Railroad Victim. The south-bound local freight on the N. P. ran over and killed an unknown man at the Grand street crossing last Monday evening at about 7:30 o'clock. No one wit nessed theaccident, audit isthought the victim had endeavored to gain entrance to a freight car or to the brake beams, missed his calculations and fell beneath the wheels. His left arm and leg were cut off, the abdomen torn open and contents scattered along the track, and the scalp entirely loosened from the skull, presenting, altogether a shock ing sight. The train had been gone nearly half an hour before the re mains were discovered. Death must have been instantaneous. The body was that of a man about 25 years of age, attired in the garb of i a laborer. In his pockets were found five cards of the U. S. hod carriers union, three made out to the name of Charles F. Tracy and two to that of Win. Peterson. The Tracy cards were from the Portland (Ore.) branch of the union, and Marshal Holt at once notified that body of the accident, but up to yes terday had received no answer, and (tn Wednesday the remains were in terred in one of the city cemetries. Aside from the cards nothing was found to identify the man. He wore a watch, had $1.30 in silver in one pocket, and carried a small package of food, indicating that he was "on the travel," as is the case with so many of the working class .today. Coroner Crawford came up I from Col/ax and decided that no in quest was necessary. The published report of a wordy difference between him and Marshal Holt in regard to the disposition of the body is a bit of romance on the part of the Re view correspondent. Undertaker Palmerton prepared the remains for burial. Information Wanted. I wish, before the opening of Col lege, to obtain a complete list of all persons living in Pullman who de sire to furnish either rooms or board, or both, to students during the com ing year. Will anyone wishing to do so please communicate me at their early convenience, giving full particulars as to how much accom they have, whether it be for board or room, or both, whether young men or young women are preferred, etc., and oblige, P. F. Naldkr, Reg., W.A.C. —Superintendent Campbell, of the Washington division of the O, R. & N., says: "The movement of the great wheat crop of eastern Washington is not started yet. Just a little grain is moving from Walla Walla. Our line was never in a better shape to handle an immense crop. We have plenty of cars and power at command and everything will move smoothly when it starts." —An eighth grade examination will be held in the Pullman school building on Thursday and Friday, September Ist and 2nd. Seventh grade pupils, who have completed physiology and geography, may take the September examination in those branches, and any grades of 80 per cent, or more will be placed to their credit for the January and May examinations. — Mrs. Mattie Anderson, who lately sold off her property in Pull man and moved elsewhere, has de cided to return here. She has pur chased several lots In Campus Park addition and will build a tine modern borne thereon.
