With Him He Says Her Relatives Eat Too Much Mrs. Balcom Al leges Unfaithfulness. Three tales of domestic unhapplness are unfurled in as many divorce suits that have Just been filed In the cir cuit court. In each Instance the wife is plaintiff and makes sensational and unusual charges against her husband. In a complaint filed yesterday by Attorney C. T. Godwin of Milton, Mrs. Dora Christensen charges that her husband. James Christensen, forgot hie marriage vows within a few months after his marriage at Milton on May 1. 1905. By July he had changed completely In hli attitude to wards his better half and became a fault-finding spouse. Among other things he objected to his wife enter taining her reiatly?' visitors though ney were uyjn.j, j her father's house oh the ground that they ate too much. Refnses to See Cousin. Upon one occasion when a girl fcdus in visited the family, Christensen re fused even to see her and thereby caused his wife much humiliation. In December the defendant is said to have left home and since that time the plaintiff declares she has lived In a state of happiness such as would have been Impossible with her hus band around. Mrs. Christensen has two children by a former husband, and she asks for the return of her former name, Mrs. Dora Hunt Says Hubby Steals Cattle. Sarah E. Ferguson, throueh her at- torney, S. A. Newberry, seeks a di vorce from Ells F. Ferguson, and her most sensational charge is that while living in New Mexico her husband be came Involved In the "larceny of cat tle" and with his wife went to Texas for a time and while there lived un der the name of Lewis. Aside from this Mrs. Ferguson says her husband would at times be very brutal towards her and would fre quently beat and choke her half to death. In a suit filed by Peter West In be half of Mrs. Bertha Balcolm, the lat ter charges her husband, Frank Bal colm, with being untrue to her and names another woman as corespon dent. They were married here July 24, 1904. COLDS ' The very hour ft cold starts Is the time to check it. Don't wait it may become deep-seated and the cure will be harder then.

One of the hottest contests ever occasioned in this city by a municipal election oc curred Monday, and resulted in the election of a good government ticket by a majority of 37. On the good gov ernment ticket W. S. Jack was elect ed mayor, Lew Ames, G. H. Hubbes and J. D. Drake, councllmen for two years; Millard A. Seltz, recorder, and M. J. Adams, treasurer. The good government ticket was nominated more than two weeks ago at a primary, and the following plat form was adopted and printed 00 the tickets! "It elected we pledge our best efforts to give the city of Sll verton a fair, econpmlcal and impar tial administration. We will oppose all forms of graft and useless litiga tion, will Insist upon strict enforce ment of the law and wll at all times work for the best Interests of the people and Improvement of Silver ton." Two days before election the saloon men made up a ticket and L. H. Fisher was placed at the head; W. Bowser, L. F. Mascher and J. M. Wol fard for councllmen, and A. Whltlock for recorder. Every poslble effort was made to win, but with no suc cess. The vote was looked upon as a good criterion by which to Judge the result of the local option vote June Scotts Mills and North Sllverton, two 3ry precincts, have been connected with Sllverton for the June election, and it Is almost certain that the saloons will be moved out of Sllverton at the June, election. , - . The hew council will probably make a change In police officer and street commlsoisner at Its first meeting, to be held 10 days later. Three Members of Whitman Con' servatory Are Rare Artists. Last evening the music lovers of this city were especially favored by the concert given in tne Methodist church, under the auspices of Pen dleton aendomy. It Is very seldom that the people of Pendleton have tho opportunity of listening to artists of such rare abll Ity as Miss Branscombe. pianist, Mr. Williams, violinist, and Mr. Jackson vocalist, of the Whitman conservatory of music. Miss Branscombe is not only brilliant concert pianist but is also a composer of high reputation and uhilltv. Her beautiful rendition of each selection make it almost Impos sible to single out any one number for especial mention, though she was heard at exceptional advantage in her own compositions, and was enthusi astically encored by the highly appre ciative audience. Her marvelous ability was also shown in the artlstle and sympathetic way in which she accompanied Mr. Williams and Mr, Jackson. Mr. Williams as a concert violinist annot be eaualed In the northwest. e played with wonderful sweetness and power. ; Mr. Jackson has a voice of excep tional range and strength. The best rendered and most appreciated of his numbers was perhaps, '.The Two Grenadiers," by Schumann. The program throughout was of high excellence. Every number was received with enthusiastic applause. Tallman & Co. Leading Druggists. SELLS MUCH LAND. Haafoctl Country Will Re Fine for , Fruit Growing. I. W. Fox, representative of the Hanford lands, who Is In the city, says that the company, Spencer, Fox & Gregory, are selling lands to many people all over the northwest.

A Freak of Nature. A year ago last fall the Milton Nursery planted a peach pit that grew and was budded during the fol lowing summer. Last fall Mrs. C. T, uizentanner bought the tree with a number of others and planted them in Pasco. Up to this tlme there was nothing unusual noticeable about the tree, but the genial climate and warm sands of Pasco caused It to put forth three blossoms. Now there are two pairs of twins and triplets on the tree where the blossoms were, making seven peaches in all, and all growing rapidly and are in good health, and the mother acting as though nothing had ever happened. The tag has been removed from the tree and the name lost, but the madam has rechrlsten ed it, and it is now known as "The Roosevelt Peach." Pasco Express. YOUR.

M. Cake, the republican senatorial candidate down to the end of the ticket.

'SOONERS" GET HEARING IN TIMBER CLAIM FIGHT. Men Who "Squatted" Will Re Given a Chance. Officials at the land office at Lake lew have had another complication added to the litigation accruing from the land rush of last fall. The new complication Is in the shape of an or der from the commissioner of the gen eral land office Instructing the regis ter and receiver to grant the "sooners" a hearing, and the date for the same has been set In June. The sooner.'' are the parties who went Into th. woods about a year before the lands were opened to setlement, posted no- Ices setting forth that they had appro. prlated the lands and began building homes thereon. The restoration order opening the lands to selection and set tlement 30 days before they became subject to filing, and prohibiting all parties from settling on the same be- fore the time set by the order, was not made until some months after the so-called "sooners" had made settle ment upon the land. This being the case It Is argued by their lawyers that their settlement was not In conflict with the order, as It did not exist at the time the settlement was made. The fact that the "sooners" were granted a hearing by the commissioner Is con sidered a concession that they have some rights In the premises, ost of the lands known as "sooner " claims have several timber and stone home stead filings on them, and In many In stances contests have already'bcen de cided by the Lnkevlew office. The "sooners" were not considered In the past. Several Important land decisions have been received lately, and In every Instance they have been adverse to the homesetader In the timber belt, and ns a result of these decisions many par ties holding claims In the timber are relinquishing the same and placing timber and stone filings. FUNNYMARK UNDER BOND. Former Prmllolon Rntchor Charge! With Forgery. An interpretation of the terms of partnership existing between J. Fun nemark and L. E. Brown, doing a butcher business under the name of L. E. Brown & Co., may decide the fate of the former In the superior court when he Is tried on a charge of forgery, says the Wallu Walla Union. In the municipal court yesterday afternoon, Funnemark was tried be fore Judge J. J. Huffman and bound over to the superior court under bonds of 1200. In the terms of the partnership, the rights of the two parties were de fined In rather general terms. Fun nemark It was conceded, had the right to .Issue orders for the purchase of supplies, although whether he had a right to pass checks In the com pany's name or intended the money secured for use in getting supplies were questions In doubt. In view of other similar troubles In which Fun nemark has appeared, the court was Inclined to put the prisoner's actions to a severe Interpretation. The check offered in evidence was for $15 and had been passed upon George Mottett. Other checks for other amounts were alleged to have been passed on several local saloons. Funnemark was arrested last Thursday by Patrolman George Roff. SUMNER UNDERWEAR Just a few of our "larger sellers," all of better grade and at sen sible prices.
