He tiexl h'm team it Mm corner of Second street and Yakima avenue and with the wagon the dog remained. Several little tioy-i wer> playing in the street and one of them, little Tommy Orainey, ran across the thoroughfare. As he did so the big dog run out Iron! his bivouac tinder the wagon ami caught the urchin by the leg, •inking his teeth in the tli-eli and making a painful wound. Ily-tanders who saw the savage canine's attack on the inoffen sive b«y called a police officer and hail the dog arrested. What came of the vicious animal in not known in this office, but lie should hive been killed for his mad meanness. The hid was taken into Capt. Chapman's drugstore where his wounds were dressed. Kmlie Meystre was tried this week in superior court on the charge of killing a calf, the property of Mr. Wilder of the Natcheex. Wilder and Meystre are neighbor* and the calf wan found on Mr. Meystre'ti place with a bullet in its jaw, which was the only evidence connecting him with the crime. The jury very prom )tly brought in a verdict of not guilty. This is the fourth attempt Wilde' bus made to have Mevatre convicted In a criminal prosecution, with a like result each time. The o her cases grew out of some difficulty over irrigation ditches, which could have been settled in a civil case, as the difference* between the par ties were honest ones. A proper adjudi cation of their rights would have obviated the necessity nf a criminal proceeding ever having been instituted. J. J.

The übiquitous eve-tinker was in town this week with his dodgers and glasses and suave manners, the latter of which he used with annoying persistency, the first of which he scattered with profli gacy, but nobody wanted his glasses. Better let the peripatetic eye-doctor alone. A. J.

"No matter what business it is in which one is engaged " said Mr. Land, "I be lieve that what one finds it profitable to do at all is worth doing well on all occa sions." And he has certainly shown it in this maxim by the manner in which he has prepared to cater to the public in The Alfalfa. I wish to call the attention of the citi tens of Yakima who are interested in music to the fact that I am permanently lomted here and am organizing » class.

The Moxee bridge, finished it l*»l, is « thing of beauty. Travelers between this city ami the Moiee valley say it ii t>y fur the best bridge in the county. It would be difficult in words to measure its value, not only to the people resident in the eastern section of the county, but to this city. It will be formally accepted by the commissioners to-morrow, having stood the test admirably. The state generally and the people of Yakima particularly are greatly indebted to Judge E. F. Benson for his success In securing all the jars, in which fruits from this state were exhibited at Chicago, for use at the state fair. In addition to this triumph, he was instrumental in obtain ing free truns|>ortation for them over the Northern Pacific from Chicago to this ■fly. |A« experienced newspaper man in Seitttle writes Thk Hkrai.d that the plant nf the Ballard News will probably be transferred to Prosier Falls and used in a weekly publication at that poiotl Those who authorized the statement that they would istahlisha paper there a month ago have probably abandoned the propo sition, as nothing has been beard of it since. The following officers were chosen at the A. O. I. W. election held last Friday eve.iing: ("has. W. Budger, master workman; J. W. Sindall, foreman ; G. E. Parrish, overseer; F. M. Bpain,recorder; F. 1). Eshelman, financier; vV. I. Lince, receiver; W. Zook,guide; Robt. Rein, in side watchman; J. A. Williams, outside watchman ; NyeTaggard, trustee for three years. Frank R. Wilson, the poulterer, says that the man who has a better chicken exhibit at the state fair next next fall than hi will have to begin now to pre pare for it and overlook no points; tlml, while he will not place himself in posi tion to be charged with "fowl play," he in already arranging to take the first prize. I'eople in this section have begun to prepare for exhibits at the state fair to be held here next fall. This is the spirit that will assure the success of the meet ing. Along with fruit, grain and vege tables, the stock exhibit should receive special attention—and it U in this latter directi in that preparation has already be^un. The pupils on the roll of honor for No vember in district No. 9, Tawpico, were: Ruth Roberts, Edith Anderson, Myra Klgin, Willie Mondor, Partly Conrad, Royal Shaw, Cecil Shaw, Clarence, Curtis and Charles Anderson, Herbert Shaw, James and Frank Elgin and Harry Roberts.

LOVE DID FIND A WAY Lena and Henry Carpenter Finally Orer come Parental Objections. HARRIED LAST WEEK IK TACOMA. A Hroi.i rather OrsMllr w iiip« Mi. < fain-. » \<r r Ma a n.ad llrpnir Marshall ■*< i><- a.am i be • |r<. mrn'ar Ifhlnix Ball. Love usually finds a way to overcome ordinary embarrassment*. It always did ami, aa long aa men and women remain human, it always will. In it, subtle force aa it is, may lie found every active germ of human ambition. It is, when wisely directed, the power that guides the pro gresa of the world and surcharges the nodal atmosphere with its most sacred element. An incident of much local interest occurred lust week and a few of its de tails are worthy of note in these columns. Henry Carpenter, one nf the best known and most successful young men in the county, has (or some months been atten tive as a chevali'-r to Miss Lena Carpen ter, a very attractive and vivacious young lady, »ell known and highly esteemed throughout the county. She is the daiii(hter of Assessor O. V. Carpenter, one of the leading citizens of proud Yakima. Although Henry is quite well-to-do, large ly interested in the local hop business and a very upright and industrious young man, Miss Lena's parents received with profound regret the news that she wan betrothed to her cousin. After carefully considering the matter, they remonstrated with the young lady, urging her to 1 1 their counsel and declaring that they would forever withhold their conitent. The result of this plea, however, was not satisfactory to the. parents and they pres ently requested the young ni.iu to cease calling *t the young lady's home. In order to make assurance doubly sure. Miss Lena's parents sent her to Puyallnp on a visit with friends. The young lady went quite willingly, knowing that thin bit of strategy would afford the very op portunity she and her lover desired in o-ilcr to consummate their purpose. SI c went—and so m the gallant cousin foI- lowed, reaching Tucotna last Thursday. He sought the home of his sweetheart's friends anil on Friday last, at the resi dence of Dr. W. B. Wilcockson, MM I street, Tacotns, the determined couple linked their fortunes with the bond of Hymen. Mr. Carpenter immediately returned with his pretty bride to North Yak in-.a, arranged a few minor business de tails and boarded the train on Monday last for New York, where they will reside. Many good wishes of a legion of friend? in Yakima county follow the young couple to their new home. ••• A Vkry Bad Road.—Many complaints are being made concerning the terrible condition of the wagon road across the reservation toward the Klickitat country and the question awse as to whether or not the county commissioners had author ity to use public money in rts improve ment. While they may not be able to do this, they could probably aid largely in having reservation authorities to give thai important thoroughfare much-needed at tention. North Yakima is profoundly in ten sled in that road in a business way. I'eople come from 1 i to 80 miles to trade here, bu those who, to get here, have to travel that mad have begun to look about fir another trade-center. There are five or six bridges across the Satas, all ol which were recently washed out by the high water. The timber used in their construction could be used again If pre served, but it is said that it is being car ried down the turbulent stream and scattered along its banks, or being taken away by the Inaians. This certainly should not be allowed. But the stream ii almost impassable. The mud is deep, the banks precipitous and the water high Effort should be made at once to put it in lietter condition. Possibly Agent Erwin is the proper authority to look after it and if his attention were directed to its condi tion he undoubtedly would, if possible and proper, repair it. At all events, people in the lower end of the county are wailing and gnashing their teeth over the hardship and they very reasonably look Yakimaward for some assistance. •. • A Bkital Parent.—The meanest man on the luce of the earth is he who cruelly and brutally beats his wife or his child. A type of this class of hu man brutes resides in this city. Hi victim is his child, a little girl of about 12 or 13 summers. Two or three time* since his recent location in this city he has beaten this little child until neigh boring roomers had to go to her rpßcue. On Sunday last he repeated his brutality, it is said, and the child was rescued in the usual manner. On a former occa sion an officer was called. The fiendish father was taken down stairs to the side walk, but the officer released him on his promise to (orego the pleasure of beating his child again. The man's wife is the little girl's stepmother. She has repeat edly '»!• "ded the child and attempted to protect her, but she in turn, it is alleged, is olho abused for her interference. Such a worthless and w ret lied specimen of mankind should be horsewhipped within a degree of bin miserable existence and then driven from town The child should be cared for by people who will treat btr with ordinary humaneness. If this man repeat this revolting offense in this town we will not only publish his name and hit history, but we will see that he shall answer before ■ court of justice for his brutality. * • • Tub Dcpi'Tirs and 'D« Gano. —One by one the boys who accompan'ed the » bis key-traffic holme to Walla Walla are re turning, J 11. Ureer reached home this morning with a b d cold and a well-de fined indication to stay in North Yakima for the remainder of the winter at. leant. I Deputy United States Marshals Mafoire, Stratton, Gnilland, Webster and Liggett psssed through town to-day with a well assorted variety of hobos for the McNeil's Island pen. Other deputies pieceded them on a similar errand. Bam Vjnson passed through Tuesday Dlglit in the | society of • gang of toughs whom he had i securely handcuffed. They were the worst of the lot. One of them was so bad that he picked the lock on bis uian aclea, jumped, off of a 30-mile an-hour freight train and escaped. ll<>n Sam risked his nerk by jumping off sfter him, ■ n<l the train waited twenty minut** while be chaMkl the fugitive through the l-rush and swamp in the sable shroud of night, 1 ut the Indian knew they lay of the land better than did bis pursuer and it would have taken Ihe crack squad in i'.i.-K toapprehen.l him H« will prob ably be caught ere long. Charley Keed, the smooth rascal so well known from San I'ieit'" tuQwillehulr, mad*a desperate fight for his liberty, but the jury disa greed and he will remain six months in the Walla Walla jail awaiting a settle ment of his case. The crowd left him heartbroken. Up to the time of their de parture be wat the chief of the toughs, but his contrition came too late. Willie Fnlkersnn, thetmasrot of the party, re turned on Saturday, chipper as a wren on M.i v day. He didn't have the consump tive coagh his companions teem to have contracted while in Walla Walla The deputies will probably return from the west side on Saturday morning. Seven ty six prisoners were tried. Seventy-five were convicted. This a remarkable record and Yakima county particularly • ill profit by the splendid service of Mar shal Drake's deputies in this district. A Rio Bhifmknt.—ln another column we ihow a cut of a (n'l train load ship ment to Posson * Son, of Portland, Or., the Urgent need merchants in the north we»t, if not on the whole Pacific const. Pnsson & Son selected the Northern Pa cific route for this shipment which con sists of ten full car loa<ls of garden teed* arid four full car loads of bee keeper's --■ 11 ■ i ■:,.-, about 28,000 pounds all told.

This train is due hpre next Monday, the lSlh.and it is expected will side-track at the depot about 1 o'clock in the afternoon.

The paper on Kilarnev by Mrs. Morrison was pronounced excellent, nml the im.imv pretty viewa were examined with grpal interest.

The next ot the series will t>e iiiven on the second Saturday in Jan uary at the residence of Mrs. W. F. Pros ■W and will be of much interest to al. lovers of good music.

Uncle Tnm'a Cabin in a much-abused play, '>ut its name generally catches a good house. Button's combination played it at the opera house last night and a great many people went to see it. The crowd was undemonstrative, however, except the proverbial small boy, and be was un commonly quiet. The negro quartette di.l fairly well, and the bloodhounds seemed to know their business. Little Eva was the bright particular alar of the evening, but her father didn't support her very well and the result was a col lapne in two important parts of her role. The orchestra was reasonably good and there wan some rsw fun in Marks and bis hoho friend.

The variable conditions i f the weather during the past week have had moch to ido with retarding progress in the work lon Ike state fair grounds.
