They report having threshed a great quantity of i'ne grain, and especially somovery fine wheat.

HORP.IBLE TKAOEDV SATURDAY. A Farmer Near the State Lino Shootss Bis Wife, Mothor-ln-law and Himself. James McCool, u ranchman living oight miles from Walla Walla, in Ore gon, rode into Walla Walla Saturday evening with news that Frits Zom, a neighboring ranchman, had shot him self, his wife, and mother-in-law. Mrs. Zoni was shot throe times and will die. Her mother was wounded. Corn was In Walla Walla Friday night and was drinking heavily. He has had trouble with tho women before and made throats against them. Shed If Mc Far land wont out after tho murderer as he was lying on the bed when McCool left, apparently uuablo to make his oscajRi. Zoni is a crazy man when drinking, lait good nut u red and harmless when sobor. Ho shot himself In tho mouth and tho bullet lodged Jit his brain and he will die. Ills wife was futully wounded In j the right lung. Her mother has a dan gerous wound iu her shoulder. Zorn was divorce ! from his wife last summer. Ho went to the house Saturday, and the women refused his admittance where upon ho burst open the door and com menced firing. Dr. Keylor, who went to the scene of the tragedy, says it was tho most horrible sight he had ever 0en. When he arrived Zorn lay in one corner, with blood flowing from his mouth. He could still talk, and told how he had committed the deed. Mrs. Zorn waa on the bod in almost a dying condition and her mother, with her ahoulder shot to pieces, was waiting on her. Sioru said he went to the house to make tin with his wife, when thtw ' locked the door on him and he burst it open. The women ran and he shot them. Ho then placed the revolver in his mouth and tired. Mrs. Born's three children, all quite young, managed to escnpo from the house and told Mr. McCool who gave the information to the officers. FATAL ACCIDENT. A. r. Chamuirs, or Cornucocia. Thrown -From a Wagon and Instantly Killed On Saturday last a young man by the name of Frank Cliamler.-, while" en gaged iu hauling ore from the Union mine to the Hope mill, met with a fatal accident.

Owing to press of business we were unable to attend the fair last week and consequently cannot give our readers a report of the proceedings. From what we n learn tho fair was quite largely attended every day, and on one or two days a very large crowd was In attend ance. The display of fine stock and ag ricultural products was very fine and the pavilion was well filled with fancy work, etc. Taken altogether ft was a success, financially and every other way. The Gaaetle of last Friday says: Six hundred and fifty admission tick ets were sold at the fair grounds yester day. These with the season tickets indicate an attendance of alwut 1000 persons. Today and tomorrow the at tendance will probably be linger. Tho society will probably be able to make alwut a stand-oir between tho receipts and expenses, and this should not bo discouraging, considering that it is the first year, and the timo for preparation ms been very limited. The date for 40 years the standard. A Puix Cream Tartar Powder Cental. Dr. Price fdves larger Mil r4m of any other Baking Powder manufacturer. Above cut represents the comparative sisse of one pound can each s'l.". Price's," Royal" and "Taylor's One Spoon." These oans were is"c cicle "by side, then photographed down in exact proportions to z-.'.vMt the plate in this space. Ask your grocer to set a one pound :sjx of any other brand alongside 1 lb. Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder, and obuerve the difference, as illustrated above Adulterated powdern may usually be detected by their heavier bulk, as shown by the small cans, and these scantily filled, often containing a circular to help fill out the cans. It is a singular fact that many of the ammonia and alum baking powderu arc advertised as "Absolutely Pure," All official examinations prove that it would bo safe to reject all povders labeled absolutely pure. The economy in using Dr. Price's Cream Baking. Powder 'docs i:ji. consist aiono iu the fact that much largor and fuller canu arc i'ivett, but Dr. Price's is a stronger, purer and more wholesome bak ing powder than any other known. Does better work, and goes farther, hence more economical in every way. What woman would tise an ammonia or alum baking pow'dor if she knew it ? Such powders not only undermine the health, but ammonia gives to the complexion a sallow and blotched appearance. Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is reported by all authorities as free from ammonia, alum, lime, or any other adulterant. The purity of this ideal powder has never bett questioned. Refuse all Substitutes. Tkjr may Conceal Ammenla, holding the fair lias lieen inopportune, although the weather could not he more favorable. The Spokane racea are lit Id thU week, and Grande Rondo is not in the regular racing circuit thin season, still there art' a groat many good Itom's on the grounds, and the horse show yes terday morning was the finest over seen in this section. The attendance has been considerably limited on account of the busy threshing season, which jitst now rlai ins the attention of nearly all the farmers. The exhibits are hardiy as large as expected, but they are all of a superior quality, particularly the dis play of frulta ami vegetables. The pa vilitat contains some very choice speci mens of fancy work, and as far us it I - w . - UMIVJ ITWRi II 1 goes is verv creditable la all depart ments. THR If.VOKa.
