THE YiUMA HERALD. rHURHDAY. ..NOVEMBER JO. UW WOODEJ BI’ILDIIfIS BESTBOYEB BY f\VL Valiant Work Or the t'ahlnaa fire Dr par I meat—The People Hhaw Tbrlr Appreciation. About eight o'clock on Saturday morn ing of last week, a firo broke out iu the row of frame building* on the corner of Firat and A streets. There was a high wind at the time and fear was felt that Mie flani(t could not be confined within aov reasonable limit, but the firemeu were promptly at hand anti worked with vigor and judgment. It is aupp-osed that the fire started in the store of Mrs. W. 11. Jeffers, but this is not definitely known. When Die alarm was sounded there was only the usual household pres sure from the water-works and ar. ex citable young man who was sent to the central office to telephone to the power house for more pressure, snapped the bell cord and word had to be sect by a messenger on horseback. He made good time, however, and soon four streama of water were playing on the flames. The fire was stopped Indore reaching the building occupied by Fisher A Mabry, in fact the building occupied oy Mrs. May waa not entirely destroyed and tho ad juatment of insurance was made on the basis of its not being a total loas. Much admiration was expressed for the splen did work done by the fire department, and certainly the boys deserved the credit they received. The following are the losses and insur ance: H. L. Walen, boots and shoes, loss $1,2c0; insurance |500; Mrs. L. J. May, merchandise, S6OJ; no insurance; Fred Drury, jer.dry, $1,000; no insur ance; llerke A Gammon, candies, $3-'H); fully insured; Charles Harris, merchan dise, $3,000; $1,500 Insurance; Mrs. W. H. Jeffers, millinery, $1,400; SOSO insur ance; MacCrimraon, Needham A Mas ters,''building $1,000; insurance $000; MacCrimmon, Needham A Biogswanger, building, $1,800; insurance <900; K. Strobacb, building, $800; insurance $450. The insurance adjusters have been here this week and the settlements made have been generally satisfactory. While Mrs. May did not loose much of her stock it waa considerably damaged and the iosa will be severely felt. Fred Drury, w hose loss was about a t house ml dollars, had recently moved here from Utah and had opened up his goods in MacCrimmon A Needham’s office. So pleased were the citizens with the work of the fire laddies that when Ham Chappell circulated a petition for the de pleted department fund $l5O was cheerfully s.ihecribed, and Henry Ditter, who was missed by Mr. Chappell, after wtvils sent in his check for S2O to the de partment.

Mr. Herke will continue the business iu the Murphy hall building, and Mr. Gammon, after remaining with Mr. Herke for a few weeks and assisting in making his confectionery for the holi day trade, will retnrn to his former home in tbe east. M. G. Wills stated before tbe election that be would kill two birds with one stone, «nd not only attend the World’s fair but the inauguration of Grover Cleve land at Washington. His present inten tion is to start east about the 25th of February. The election seems to hsve had a de pressing effect on the hop market, for 20 cents is all that is now quoted fur choice grades. Growers think that prices will pick np as soon as politics subside, and on this theory are holding. The firemen will give another of tlieir pleasant dam es at the opera house, Sat urday evening. There should be a large turnout as a testimonial of appreciation of the splendid work done by the boys at the recent fire. All of thoee who are interested in whist are requested to meet at the club nomi Friday evening, November 11, wheo a whiat club will be organised to meet r.t the residence of the members bl-w Mias Young, daughter of B.

Mrs. John Tuft, of the Ahtsnum, who has been sick for several months past, died on Monday and was buried lbs fol lowing day. Mrs. Charles Davie, wife of the Baptist minister, left for Roslyn yesterday, where the family will make their home. THE YAKHi DEMOCRACY. Rfr«Mlcaai (■'•rri ikcUir-Trcach* ery !■ Iha Damacrallc Caap- Unva Chargaa ara Hait. Flection day In Yakima county passed off quietly. A much lighter vote was polled than was anticipated, and this waa due somewhat to knowledge received early in the day, by the democrats, that the ticket was being vigorously knifed. The traitors are well known, and acme of them were in the confidence of the party* managers and in position to effect the most telling work. They will he remem bered when another campaign rolls around, and will not he given an oppor tunity to get in their deadly thrusts. When it rolled around to election day the big four bad dwindled down to the big three. The cry was to elect Ellis, Simmons and Nevin, and to let the bal ance of the ticket, with the exception of Weed for the legislature, take care of itself. The saloons and the tin-hoims were worked for ail they were worth, and all of the rounders had money to throw at the birds. To Bay they were bought for so much per head would be difficult to prove, but Tux Herald has evidence that would lead to this belief. There is a charge still more grave that ia openly spoken of on the streets, and that is that ballots with the official stamp on them were in the hands of party workers outside of the polls. How this come about? It is not lor Tub Her ald to say at this writing, hut when the votes are canvassed on Monday next in the presence of Judge Graves and the county commissioners it is only justice that these reports should be investigated. On Thanksgiving evening the Yakima Dramatic Club, assisted by Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Kelly, will present, under the aus pices of North Yakima Ixxlge, No. 53, K. of P., the New York comedy success, in five acta, entitled “A Tramp's Daughter.” This great play waa written by an Amer ican author. Elliott Barnes, for the com edian, John W. Burton, and was success fully played by him in all the large cities of the United States and Canada. It abounds in thrilling scenes startling situ ations, beautiful sentiment and side splitting comedy. Mr. Kelly, under whose direction the play will be given, is a gentleman of wide experience in this line of work, and ia spoken of by the press in the highest of terms as an actor and instructor. No one should miss the performance, as it promises to be the greatest success known in the amuse ment annals of Yakima. The admission will be 35, 50 sod 75 cents. Reserved ■eats may be secured at the usual place. The wonders of the noil and climate of Yakima county will apparently never cease. The latest marvel is a box of large and well-matured etrawberriea which was presented to the editor of Tub Herald by I). C. Stone, of the Yak ima fruit and vegetable ranch. Tbe ber ries are perfect in shape, of rich, luscious color, and in every way the equal of thoee picked in the early summer. What other county in the northwest can show ripe straw berries, grown in the open air, on tbe 10th dsy of November. It is impossible to learn the different pluralities on the county ticket. The re turns are all iu, but under seal, and the official count cannot be made before judge Graves comes down from Ellena burgh. which will be early next week. The entire republican county ticket la elected, excepting Henry Creason for county commissioner and Dr. W. O. Coe for coroner. The people’* party accomplished one thing In the Male, if nothing more. They defeated Henry J. Soivtly, who was the champion of many of the measures advo cated by them, and elected McGraw, who baa no sympathy for them or their in terests. Agent Jay Lynch says he is ready to step down snd out, as the office is of more bother than it is worth. Other fed eral office holders seem to maintain a similar opinion with surprising unanim nity. Messrs. Dan Simmons, Leroy Stark. Lane. Wayne Field, Marshal Heo dcr.xon and 8. C. Hen too are in Walla Walla attending the session of the U. 8. court. “A Tramp’s Daughter,” the greatest play ever written by an A mar lean author, at LJaaon's opera house, Thursday even ing, November 24th. Scliott Bros, have secured the servi- e-. of 11. L. Walen, the well known shoe maker, and are now prepared to «k> the best of custom work and repairing.

When the different powders were purchased on the open market and examined by Prof. Chandler, of the New-York Board of Health, the result showed that Royal Baking Powder contained twenty-seven per cent, greater strength than any other brand. When compared in money value, this difference would be as follows: If one pound of Royal Baking Powder sells for 50 cents, One pound of no other powder is worth over 36 cents. If another baking powder is forced upon you by the grocer in place of the Royal, see that you are charged the correspondingly lower price. LITTLE LH IMWS OF HIS IIEITiTV. Death el lease ward Brow n, Who le MU to Be the Non of Ag nes May Flemming. Jesse Edward Brown, teacher of the In dian school of this city, died on Sunday afternoon of pneumonia. Little is known of the deceased. He left no papers be hind bearing on private affairs; in fact it appears as though he had made it a point to destroy anything and everything regarding his identity. An effort was made previous to his death to have him speak of his relatives, but be would say nothing, it is said that he was a eon of Agnes May Flemming, the poetess, and he showed considerable talent in that di rection himself. A brother was at one time superintendent of schools in Ohio, and he lia» a sister who is the superior ess of a convent, and an effort is being made to get trace of and communicate with the former. Mr. Brown has been connected with the Indian schools of Carlisle, Pa., Forest Grove, Ogn., and other places. He was a man of much education, and very stu dious. His position at the head of the Indian school will be difficult to fill. He had a great amount of influence over the children, who were greatly attached to him, and well they might be, for while be was a disciplinarian he was also in dulgent and spent all of his salary, after providing for his own necessary expenses, on bis little charges. His age is unknown, bat it was probably somewhere between thirty-five and forty years. The funeral was held from the Catholic church onTues day morning. Take Th* H skald and keep posted. Do you wish to buy your baby a cloak ? If so, call at Ditter’s and look over his line. 42 The next election will be for mayor, as Mr. Weed will send in his resignation, to take effect as soon as his successor is elected and qualifies. Mrs. Calder. the spiritual medium, who is better known as Miss West, arrived here Thursday from Walla Walla. Testing the Baking Powders. Comparative Worth Illustrated, BT PROF.

Mrargn n# The attraction at Mason'a opera house next Wednesday night will I* “Forget Me Not*” with Jeffreys Lewis as Stepha nie de Mohrivnrt, a character made fam ous by her. Jeffreys Lewis has always been recognized as the one woman who could play this part as it should be played—a woman of the world; a woman with a badly soiled name; a schemer who would do anything for personal gain; a woman who seeks to shine in society at both the moral and financial expense of a young and innocent girl. At times Miss Lewis is a bewitching siren, and it can readily be seen why the notorious Steph anie has triumphed and lured rich men to ruin; then she is again a perfect she devil, ready to tear her traducera to pieces, and later a pitable suppliant for protection. At limes she glories in her greatness and laughs scornfully at those who oppose her. Those who have seen her lately say that she is more brilliant than ever—her eyes flash with the old fire, and her lip# curl with the same hate that used to make people wince, or amile iu that fascinating way that has made her scores upon scores of admires. A woman who plays auch a role as Steph anie in “Forget Me Not,” of course does not receive any sympathy from any of the playgoer*. But one cannot help ad miring the admirable manner in which Jeffreys Lewis plays it. for in that line she i* without a superior. She baa an excellent company to support her, and take it altogether the performance on Wednesday night will be a notable one.
