Early cabbage from Walla Walla gardens is being shipped to outside points in quantities of a car a day by the three local commission houses. The Walia Walla Produce company has been averaging a car every other day. The first shipment of Royal Ann cherries from local fruitmen was made yesterday and this class of fruit is expected to commence coming in large quantities by the end of the week. The price being paid to grow ers today was 5 cents per pound. Black Republicans, the favorite eating cherry, will not commence to be in evidence in any quantities for a week or ten days yet. The yield of Royal Anns and Republicans will lie just fair this year, the heavy wind of a week ago threshing much of the fruit off the trees. In the berry line the luscious rasp berry will soon lie seen in the local market in quantities, the first to ar rive being brought in yesterday. Pro duce houses were paying $2 a crate today, hut this price will decrease as the* supply increases. Dewberries, Brst cousins of the blackberry are commencing to come in. hut black berries will not be on the market for a week or ten days yet. From pres ent indications there will be a large crop of this variety of berry this! year. A BILLOWY STREET.

"It's a disgrace to civilization." he says, "and a menace to any one who is forced to drive over it." ECZEMA, NO CURE, NO PAY.

LA SALLE WINS ANOTHER GAME. Sunday afternoon at the Fort Walla Walia grounds quite a large collection of fans witnessed the severe drub bing of the Thirtieth battery ball nine by the schoolboys of La Salle Insti tute. The score in the 7th stood \2 to 0 in favor the Institutes and for a brief period it looked as if the Battery would be whitewashed. A few errors and costly wild throws on the part of their opponents enabled the soldiers to roll tiii a total of 7 runs. The team work of the Institute up the 7th was most excellent and throughout the game Cue hoys fat tened their batting averages with the greatest of ease. Parkes, Lankard. Miller and McAllister each scored a two-base bit The pitching of young Parks was up to his usual standard four hits were made by the wearers of the blue. The Institute tram is anxious to cross bats with the Squadron, tin. crack amateur nine of the Inland Em pire, ami negotiations are on for the opportunity.

Governor Mcßride Writes Letter to W. W. Robertson. North Yakima. Wash. —W. W. Rob ertson, who last week resigned his position as a member of the Louisiana Purchase exposition commission, of which he was secretary, has received the following reply from Governor Mcßride: "To accept your resignation for the reason stated would imply that I think you, while an appointee of the administration, should retrain from expressing your opinion of the acts of the administration, especially when they do not meet your approval. Such is not my attitude. When won ac "epted the appointment I did not imagine that by so doing your right, either as a citizen or a newspaperman, to criticize freely any act of this ad ministration, would be in any way abridged. While 1 may regret your opinion. I may add in passing, which I believe would change were you ac quainted with all the facts —yet 1 cannot see what bearing thai opinion can have upon the performance of your duties to the suit,- as a member of the Louisiana Purchase exposition commission. I cannot accept your res ignation upon the ground tated for the reason that to do so would be placing me in a false position." TO BUY SEATTLE BONDS. Largtst investment Ever Made Out of School Fund. Olympia, Wash.—The preliminary steps have heen taken toward pur chasing out of the permanent school tund the largest issue Of bonds ever offered to the state in one lump. The issue is the one recently voted by Se attle in the sum of $590,000 for the equipment of a municipal lighting plant. The amount exceeds the entire amount, now invested by the state in county, municipal and school dis trict bonds. The action so far taken is that of a decision to make the city an offer lor the bonds. Representatives of Se attle have been before the board of state land commissioners on several occasions recently to present the matter in all its phases. While the board has control of the investment of the permanent school fund the de cision to invest so large an amount was not arrived at without consulting Governor Mcßride and State Treasur er Maynard. The city of Seattle in voting the is sue voted bonds at no: exceeding 4 per cent, interest per annum. The rate 01 interest being so small it is conceded that the state is practically the only investor in a position to make the purchase. The state since ihe new law went into effect on June 11. is enabled to purchase bonds bearing interest as low as per cent. There is now uninvested in the permanent school fund nearly $7<m.000 and the amount is increasing at the late of about $50,000 per month. Un- YOUR.

Karl's Clover Root Tea corrects the Stomach il recently the only calls on the fund were from the general fund, which borrows from it through the issuance of state bonds bearing interest at the rate of 3% per cent., and small school districts which were willing to pay 5 per cent, interest on thfir bonds" The state until the new law passed could not buy any but state bonds unless they drew at least 5 per cent. This accounts for the accumulation in the permanent school fund. While the opportunities to invest at the lower rate are more plentiful than heretofore, it is not anticipated that the fund can be loan ed in any where near its entirety without the purchasing of some such large issues as that offered by Seattle. The financial condition of the city has been thoroughly gone into, and found satisfactory. State of Ohio. City of Toledo. Lucas County. ss Frank J.

DAIRYMAN PLEADS GUILTY. Did Not Know Exact Nature of For- maldhyde. Seattle. —T. V. Garland, proprietor of the Emerald dairy, was fined $2.1 and costs in police court, for adulter ating his milk with formaldehyde. Garland pleaded guilty, but stated that he did not know the exact nature or effect of the drug placed in tin milk to keep it from souring. He said he bought the formaldehyde on the recommendation of a druggist, who said it was not unlawful to use it. On account of this statement ami because of the fact that Garland has been in the dairy business in this city but a few months and is unfamiliar with the ordinance of the city. Judge George let Garland off with the $2.". fine, but stated that it' he was brought into court again on a similar charge he would he given the extreme pen alty. W. Bastain, proprietor of the Ger man dairy, was exonerated when ar raigned on a similar charge. Bastain proved that he had bought the con demned milk from Garland and .lid not know there was formaldehyde in it.

The machine is certainly in such a state of nervous fright as to be scared at its own shadow when it sees in the regular monthly! visit of a member of the state board of control to the peni tentiary an attempt "to gain adherents and supporters tor a certain taction in the municipal election of tin- city of Walla Walla." At the last meeting of the city coun cil two thousand dollars was set aside for the use of the water department for this month. How this money is to be spent is left to the judgment of the committee, who never make a de tailed report to the council. Faith is said to be th.> ••substance of things unseen." and that is what the tax payers of this city are expected to use in considering the expenditures of the water department. The city administration is keeping very quiet now about that twenty-five thousand dollar land deal at Thomas springs, but it' his ticket wins on July 13 Boss Tim lord, mayor de facto, will lose no time in collecting his claim. The people should vote with their eyes open. It' it is their wish to pre sent the First National bank with a gift of twenty-five thousand dollars and to continune settling taxes on its stock at fifty cents on the dollar, then they can get just what they want by voting the Burford-Smails ticket.

CO. 1 S S «r send a man to the peniten tiar for a year for committing this crime. Is this true? We shall wait with no slight interest tor the trial of this indictment against a whole communi ty for it will he the community, and not any law or any public offi» ial who is on trial. If juries should be found to forswear themselves, in order that one of the most vicious practices known to ancient and modern tines might continue to flourish unmob sted and to corrupt every one whom it touched, then the brand upon this city would he tar more disgraceful and indelible than any that it has ever worn. This is the way of anarchy; and t very man who should consent to such a practice would be as guilty of trea son to a!! government as the vilest member of the anarchist bands that meet to plot the death of the republic. There may be laws passed sometimes in deference to a sudden gust of popu lar passion, laws about which there hangs the suspicion of a purchased vote, laws which are so clearly the thrust of class against class and so c ntrary to the American doctrine of equal rights before the law that they are deservedly hated and difficult of 'enforcement. Even with these the true policy is to enforce them until public opinion consents to their re- I peal. But the anti-gambling law pre sents no sue h characteristics, and not one valid reason c an be given why the extreme penalty that it provides should not be inflicted wherever con- I vincing evidence of guilt can be pro i duced. Consider the case of these malcon tents. The occupation in which they engage is economically immoral and destructive. It produces nothing. It lat the same time creates and panders to a passion which thousands of years of human experience have de monstrated to be one of th:' most un- I conquerable and most ruinous that can lay hold on humankind. There is j far more hope of reform for th.' con firmed drunkard r the thief with half a generation of prison life behind him than for the hardened gambler. The appetite is almost as tenacious as life itself ;and at the same time it is more easily created than any other in the young. We think it no exaggeration to say that today, taking the world as la whole, there is no habit, practice or I vice so menacing to the advance ot civilization and, so persistent and suc cessful in its efforts to drag mankind j down into the depths as gambling. The votaries of chance have for years indulged their appetites here fleeced the unwary, and established I centers about which (rimes innumer able and unmentionably vile havj freely. Ii was in view of all thest I facts and of the intolerable condl tions to which they had led that the last legislature passed the statute which is now to be enforced. What title has the gambler to im munity? How dare he think tha any decent man in the community wil come to his rescue? BEERS Guaranteed Pure. None So Good. Bachtold A Achermano. Wholesale Dealers.

Under Fire! jJpF That's where the True Qualities of a 5c Cigar f a cigar you'll smoke again and agaia SEATTLE BUNCOED Out of Two Thousand Dollars by Sharper WD rßimw CONFEDERATE Man Brought Suit for Imaginary In juries From Falling in a Manhole. The city of Seattle was buncoed out of $2000. thirteen months ago, and the Seattle Times. The chief bunco worker is aow in the city jail at As toria. Oregon, with a confederate, on the charge of perjury committed dur ing an attempt to bunco that city in the same way. Seattle is only one in a number of cities about the coun try which have been victimized by this same trick and a band of men who were in on the deal. The game might have been worked indefinitely bad not some disagree ment or doubt, in the party induced one of the members to give enough of the scheme away to permit the au liicrities to run the fellows down. The success which attended the game here would indicate that Seattle was dead easy, and even now it is doubtful if anything would have been known of the matter but for the persistency of the city's claim agent. J. H. Dennis, who once entertained doubts about the genuineness of the claim, follow ed it to the bitter end. The strange thing about it is that the old city council refused to pay the claim, and the new city council within three months after coming into Office, voted unanimously to compro mise it for the $2000. One John B. Mayers, the name an alias, in January. 1902, filed a claim for $10,465 for personal injuries al leged to have been received on Fourth avenue between Seneca and Spring streets, having fallen in a coal hole on August 16, 1900. The mystery connected with the case began immediately after the claim was filed. Dr. Limerick was called on to attend the man. who claimed to have sustained a broken km c cap. De velopments later seem to indicate that a stool pigeon was actually hurt about the knee, just enough to fool the doc tor. Within three days the injured man disappeared and went to Oak land or a suburb of Oakland. Walnut Creek. The Second Man. Later John E. B. Mayer appeared in the city claiming to be the man who was injure l and exhibiting a perma nently disabled knee. Dr. Chrichton, of the city council, examined the knee and of course represented it as per manently disabled. Neither Dr. Crichton nor the councilmen were giv en the opportunity to see the stool pigeon when he was in the city. The doctor could not tell if the man with the permanently hurt knee was the same as the first. The claims committee wrestled with the case but on .March 10, 1902, recom mended placing it on rile and this was done. The report was signed by Byers chairman, James and Taylor. Mr. By ers had learned enough to convince him there was crookedness some where. In the meantime a suit had been be gun in the superior court, but this was a bluff. John B. Hart and P. D. Hughes, had been engaged by Mayer as counsel. Han had worked hard be fore the claims committee to get a fa vorable recommendation. The case hanging fire so long, one of the confederates became -suspicious of Mayer, and wrote to Gray Tait. law. vers here, stating that he had May nish the city if there was a probability that the claim would be paid. Soon after the fellow wrote again, saying, "the note*' matter was only a ruse and that Mayer was a swindler and for $1000 reward he would give the whole snap away. All these letters to Gray Tait were turned over by them to Chairman Byers of the claims committee. However, the one about giving the snap away did not appear till alter Byers was out of office. Still enough had been learned to convince him of rascality in the mater. Works Astoria. While these things were transpiring here the gang had begun business in Astoria. Mayer, under the name of John 1.. Back, fell and broke his knee cap, and sued for $5000. This was in August oi the same year. 1900. He began suit in court and the first jury disagreed. The second gave him $2600. His attorneys proposed settle THE EVENING STATESMAN, TUESDAY, JUNE 23, 1903. ment for $2000. Tin- Astoria city of ficials evidently got the same tip as was given here for they at once began to run the gang down. They went to Oakland and finally arrested Back and a confederate, Josiah S. Smith, and brought them back. This occurred but a few days ago. Mr. Dennis, the Seattle claims agent was working hard all the time to get at the bottom of the case here, and as soon as an offer to squeal was made got Mr. Byers to draw an ordinance offering $1500 reward tor any one who would furnish evidence of crooked work in the matter of claims for dam ages. This was passed and it' Mayer and Smith are brought back here the toward may have to be paid. Despite the doubtful character of the case, the claims committee of the present city council, on May 19, 1902, introduced a bill compromising tor .s2llllll. ami the money was appropriat ed on May 26, a week later. May. r had claimed here to he a traveling salesman for Aultman. Mil ler Co.. implement men. but his let ters her.' later showed him to be a wholly uneducated man. The Astoria officials have learned that both men taken have been in the San Quemin prison. Preparations are in hand to bring the men here if possible, but it is un derstood t.ie Astoria people will insist on prosecuting them for perjury. MECHANICAL ENGINEERS Saratoga. N. V..

Among the instructors are many of the most noted teachers in the coun try. The session is intended primar ily for the higher instruction of rural teachers and to this end the course of instruction is to include, besides various branches of learning, instruc tion in the methods of school manage ment, from the kindergarten to the highest grades.

OASTOniA. Bear ß the _/? 8 KM You Kara Always Borate BRYAN AND ANTI-BRYAN Democrats to Test Strength Al IOWA CONVENTION jTOMORROW Many Delegates Favor Making the Tariff and Government Ownership the Leading Issues. Dcs Moines, la.. June23.—The Dem cratic state convention here tomor row will be among the most interest ing contests in the political history o: tin- commonwealth. Delegates are al here today tor the preliminary skir mish and the corridors of the Saven hotel echo with the hum of politi'oa discussion. While those in favor ol the reaffirmation of the Kansas City platform and the element radically opposed to such action are pursuing ■i vigorous button-hole campaign tr enlist recruits under their respective banners some of the old wheel-horse, of the party, men of undoubted influ ence are at work in the interest ol harmony. If their efforts prevail something in the shape of a compro mise will bo patched up. the money issue will be ignored ami the cam paign fought out along tin- line of gov ernment ownership and the tariff question. From preset indications, however, it- seems certain that there will be a contest to determine whether the Kansas City platform shall be af firmed, another to determine whether a plank demanding government own ership of railroads shall be inserted in the platform, and a third to decide whether Judge Anthony Van Wagen en of Sioux City shall be a candidate for governor. It ir- conceded on all tude on th< question ol reaffirmation Van Wager, n mid h.-n the nomina tion by acclamation. A- it is. In- will probably no: be r-amed unless the T"n affiimationists obtain complete eon same tin..' find some one willing to ac cept the nomination, which they have b< en unable to do so far. Van Wagenen opposes reaffirmation and demands the government owner ship issue. His attitude combines to form a unique situation. The lvaffir mationists are largely favorable to government ownership, but they In sist that a radical platform must be made, and that government ownership is the thing. The third group, the gold democrats, want neither reaffir mation nor radicalism: they would adopt resolutions of a conservative nature as a forerunner of a national platform next year that would court the eastern capitalists for a fight against Roosevelt. Whether a combination of two of the three factions can be successfully formed to be vanquished, or if Van Wagenen could be brought around to support reaffirmation, which appears impossible, the atmosphere would clear immediately. The government ownership issue could be settled THE BEST MANUFACTURING COMPANY.

Call and examine the same at THE JOHN SMITH COMPANY. General Supply House. Walla Walla, Wash. without much difficulty it is belh i Either the convention would swallow a plank declaring for government ownership. or the Van Wagenei forces could be persuaded to be con tent with a resolution declaring in favor of the Van Wagenen undoubted ly would be named without further opposition. A number ol" the party leaders are in favor of the democrats adopth as their tariff plank the "lowa Idea' expression used by the lowa republi cans the last two years, but whi< the latter will probably abandon on the ground that it is too radical and decisive in effect This, it is u rg would force the republicans into a difficult position on the tariff and compel them to talk a great deal about it. With such a tariff question and with the public ownership plank prominent, the democrats believe that the republicans would be kept bus/ explaining, and would have lit tle time to revert to the old issues of 181b] and 1900. One of the leading democrats of the state who is striving to bring this harmony gave it as his opinion this afternoon that the convention will first, after a hard fight, reject reaffir mation; then, after another struggle, adopt the Van Wagenen gov. rnment ownership plank by a rather (dose vote, and then that Judge Van Wag enen wiill he nominated, likely with out opposition. The convention will consist of 683 delegates. It will be called to order at noon in the auditorium. J. H. Quick, ex-mayor of Sioux City, hast been selected to act as temporary chairman. m urn mi. Washtucna Enterprise: It is report ed that W. J.

Neagle Brothers have at their sho;> an old stage coach that has a history qual to the famous Deadwood coach carried with the wild west show of Buffalo Bill, says the East Oregonian. It came into the town the other day bearing a load of men who had come here to locate on some land in the vicinity of Pilot Rock and the trip over the sands had so racked its an cient frame that it was necessary to take it to the shop for repairs. It is now the property of the son of j the man who drove it in the old fron- j tier days and he will have it fixed up and save it until like the celebrated one hoss shay, it falls to pieces all at j once. In the early days the stage ran on the California and Northern overland route and the name of the company can be faintly seen on the side at the present time. It was used between the southern stations of this state and the north of California and acording to the story told by the present owner, was the center of many an exciting event. At the time of Captai.i Jack's war ihe stage was in use and when that famous chief was caught by the troops in the lava beds the stage was I used to haul him to Port Klamath I where In* was hanged. The. old reminder of the days gone: by will be thoroughly overhauled and taken back to the home of the man who owns it. where it will lie kept by him as a pet and only used on state occasions, and will be handed j town as an heirloom to the genera tions that are to come.

Our store is headquarters for Vermin destroyers. We espec ially recommend Tallman's Bed Bug Killer for it looks good to the customer. And it kills the bed hug and only costs 25c. It's a snap, but not for the bug. We also keep the genuine In sect Powder, it casts us double the price of the common powder but you know we pride ourselves on selling the best or none at all. L. L.
