Denver, Jan. 12. — An Evanston, Wyo., special to the Tribune SAN: Masked and mounted raiders, presumed to be cattlemen, last night attacked the camps of two Utah flock-masters near Burnt Fork, close to the Utah-Wyoming line, shot down A. N. Garsite and Robert Allen, herders, slaughtered the sheep, and burned the camp wagons and outfits. A camp mover who escaped the bullets of the raiders witnessed the battle from the brush. The raiders numbered about 20, and approached the camps at a gallop, firing a fusillade of shots into the wagons. The herders were killed at the first fire. It required less than half an hour to club the sheep to death and burn the outfits, when the raiders departed. Notices of warning to other flock-masters were left with the bodies of the dead herders. Sheepmen are indignant, threaten to get even, and more trouble is anticipated. The range on which the outrage was committed has long been in dispute, and the sheepmen have been frequently ordered away. BLAMES ALL ON MOROCCO. German Delegate Says Minister Misunderstood French Minister. Paris, Jan. 12.—With the approach of the Algeciras convention on Moroccan reforms, the newspapers devote greater space to discussion of the question. Public opinion everywhere is that the issue of the conference will be amicable has been practically decided. The Journal's Madrid correspondent sends an interview with the Germa ambassador at Madrid, Herr von Radowitz, who is also the principal German delegate to the convention. The ambassador, the correspondent says, has no doubt of the favorable issue of the conference. He believes the whole disagreement is due to the Moroccan minister's not understanding or misinterpreting the words of the French minister to Morocco, willfully or otherwise, and says if the sultan's delegates try to prevent an agreement being reached by the powers, as it has been suggested they would do, they will find themselves in a most serious situation. But the ambassador is of the opinion that the Moroccan delegates fully appreciate this and will give no trouble. FORBIDS PRIVATE GARS Bill Offered Congress by Fruit Jobbers' Association. Duluth, Minn, Jan. 12. — President Roosevelt, Attorney General Moody and members of congress and the Interstate Commerce commission, will receive this week copies of a bill advocated by the Western Fruit Jobbers' association, of which E. M. Ferguson, of Duluth, is president, and which has for its primary purpose the elimination of private freight cars, the correction of refrigerating rates and bringing express companies under the interstate commerce acts and prohibiting the dealing in commodities handled by them. The bill will be introduced in congress during the present session. It provides that roads must furnish all rolling stock required to handle interstate commerce under penalty of heavy fines. It outlaws "flexible" charges and gives the shipper an open avenue for relief against unreasonable rates. TRAINWRECKERS WIPED OUT. Deadly Vengeance on Rebels Who Tore Up Track. Riga, Livonia, Jan. 12. — News has just reached this city of a daring attempt of the revolutionists to capture a military train conveying a large sum of money from St. Petersburg to Libau. A band of revolutionists having advance information gathered at Hazenpot, burned two bridges and tore up the track. Two companies of infantry, which were escorting the train, left the cars, and were joined by a detachment of dragoons. This force marched against the revolutionists, who from behind improvised defenses, opened fire on the soldiers. The infantry, after firing two volleys, which killed 65 and wounded nearly 100 of the revolutionists, charged with the bayonet, and the dragoons completed the rout by sabering all the revolutionists they overtook. Pipe Line Across Isthmus. Washington, Jan. 12.—Secretary Taft has recommended to the president that he sanction the issue of a revocable license to the Union Oil company, of California, to construct and maintain a pipe line across the canal zone. There were six applicants for such a right, but the company named is the only one which specified the price of oil if used by the government and whose offer was otherwise sufficiently definite and reasonable. It is, however, expressly provided that the license shall not be exclusive. Grinding Cane in Mexico. Mexico City, Jan. 12.—Cane grinding is now well under way on the sugar plantations. The total production is estimated at 225,000 tons. IN THE NATIONAL HALLS OF CONGRESS Washington, Jan. 11. — Before going into executive session today, the senate stened to a speech by Heyburn in support of his bill creating a national board for the control of corporations, in which he denounced Wall street because of its alleged interference with the affairs of the country. He said that when the "street" could not dictate the financial course of the government, it was ever ready to threaten disaster, and he pleaded for legislation that would rob it of such power for evil. The remainder of the open session was devoted to a discussion of the practice of the senate of sending resolutions to the calendar after they had been under discussion. Bacon raised the point of order that there was no rule requiring such a course, and said his Moroccan resolution had been improperly placed on the calendar. He also contended that the resolution had not had a day's discussion. The matter was not disposed of in open session. He argued that he could not say what had occurred when the question was under consideration in secret session, but when pressed said that if permitted to do so he would say that the resolution itself had not been considered at that time. On the suggestion of Morgan, the senate at 1:26 p. m. went into secret session for the consideration of the subject. Washington, Jan. 11. —The Philippine tariff debate in the house today consisted more of party maneuvering for advantageous campaign material than of discussion of the question at issue. The tariff was the text of a speech by Grosvenor, of Ohio, who began the debate, and of an extended reply by Williams, the minority leader. The speech of Grosveor was spiced with witticisms and enlivened with interruption from Champ Clark, at whom Grosveor aimed most of his arguments. Williams outlined the specific tariff doctrine of the Democratic party and held that the Republican tariff was not, as so often claimed, responsible for the prosperity of the country. To prove this, he cited the prosperity of Canada, Mexico and other countries at the present time, and the business depression of these countries during the hard times of 1893. Adams, of Wisconsin, opposed the bill, but advocated the readjustment of the tariff on business principles. McKinley, of California, delivered his first speech in the house in favor of the measure, and pointed a finger of warning toward the growing industries of Japan. Wednesday, Jan. 10. Washington, Jan. 10.—The senate made it plain today that it had yesterday all that it wants to hear for the present on the Moroccan question. There were two opportunities to resume consideration of the subject, but both were avoided, apparently with the assent of all the members, and the senate adjourned at a comparatively early hour rather than take it up. Notwithstanding the early adjournment, a great deal of business was disposed of. About 80 bills were passed, leaving on the calendar only six or seven. Of those passed a large majority grant private pensions and many are bridge bills. One of the bills favorably acted upon appropriates $200,000 for the appropriate marking of the graves of Confederate soldiers who died in Northern prisons during the Civil war. For the rest of the session the senate gave attention in turn to the question of salaries paid to Panama canal officials, to the pure food bill and the merchant marine shipping bill, but without taking action on any one of those subjects. The canal subject was discussed by Simmons and the pure food bill by Heyburn. The only action taken on the shipping bill was that of reading it at length. Washington, Jan. 10. — A vigorous speech in favor of the Philippine tariff bill by Dalzell opened the proceedings in the house today. It was followed by several others against the measure, most notable of which was a two-hour address by the veteran statesman, ex-Speaker Keifer, of Ohio, who returns to the house after a retirement of 20 years. Keifer bespoke a "standpat" doctrine of the most pronounced type. He said he would oppose the pending bill because it was a concession to Democratic principles. His speech was replete with recollections of earlier days and received the closest attention Revolt Against Cannon. Washington, Jan. 9. — Speaker Cannon's efforts to win the insurgents over to the Hamilton joint statehood bill have met with little success apparently, and the joint statehood proposition is still shrouded in uncertainty. The insurgents claim they have more than 58 votes, the number which, coupled with the solid' Democratic vote, will force a consideration of amendments to the Hamilton bill. Two or three Republicans are reported to have been won over to the administration measure, through Speaker Cannon. NO. 38. and liberal applause from both sides of the chamber. Tuesday, Jan. 9. Washington, Jan. 9. —The propriety of discussing in open senate a resolution introduced by Senator Bacon calling upon the president for an account of his appointment of delegates to a proposed conference in Moroccan affairs to be held by European powers at Algericas, Spain, was considered for four hours today, and then by strict party vote, it was decided that the resolution should be executive business. Bacon in supporting his resolution, contended for a public session, and Spooner declared that the adoption of the resolution would be an encroachment by the senate upon the constitutional rights of the president, and virtually of his powers as chief magistrate. Washington, Jan. 9 — The Philippine tariff measure was the single topic of consideration in the house today. The speeches were uniformly against the measure and were allowed to go, in general, without answer. Digression in the form of tariff revision discussion was made in a brief speech by Gillette, of Massachusetts, who favored Canadian reciprocity. Bonyenge, of Colorado, discussed the bill from the standpoint of the beet sugar industry. Monday, Jan. 8. Washington, Jan. 8.—The senate today gave attention to the Panama canal, the situation in Santo Domingo and the merchant marine shipping bill. The canal bill question came up in connection with a message from the president, in which, among other things, he invited the closest scrutiny into all that had been done by the government in the Isthmus of Panama. Gorman made that utterance the text for a speech, in which he criticised the salaries paid for work in connection with the canal, and urged congressional inquiry. He said that the president was not so much to blame as congress for his assumption of control on the isthmus, and that the chief mistake had been made when congress released its hold upon canal affairs. He agreed with Gorman in urging the rights of congress in connection with the canal, and said that, while congress had delegated the matter to the president, the latter practically had referred the whole matter back to congress. The senate took up the merchant marine shipping bill and Gallinger spoke in support of that measure. Quoting the utterances of Presidents McKinley and Roosevelt on the importance of building up the merchant marine, he urged congress to heed these admonitions by passing a law that would relieve the situation. Gallinger estimated that the aggregate expense to the government for the entire ten years of the proposed subsidies would be $40,000,000, and that the amount being devoted to the encouragement of irrigation is many times larger. The senate then, at 4:13 P. M., went into executive session, and at 4:20 adjourned. Washington, Jan. 8. — With over an hour devoted to the District of Columbia, there was left but a half-hour to be devoted by the house today to tariff discussion. This was utilized by Sullivan, of Massachusetts, who spoke strongly for tariff revision from the Democratic standpoint. Give Pensions to Steptoe's Men. Washington, Jan. 8. — Senator Ankeny today introduced a bill extending the provisions of the late Indian war veterans' pension act to include all those who served as volunteers during the Indian hostilities in Washington and Idaho in 1858 with the military commands of Colonel Edward I. Steptoe and Colonel George Wright, including the volunteer company of friendly Nez Perces Indians, who acted as guides and scouts under Colonel Wright. Idaho's Senators Busy. Washington, Jan. 8. —Representative Heyburn today introduced a resolution permitting him to appoint a messenger for his committee at $1,440. Senator Dubois has accepted an invitation to deliver an address on February 12 at Springfield, Ill., at the Sangamon club banquet given on Lincoln's birthday. This is Mr. Dubois' boyhood home. New Lightship and Tender. Washington, Jan. 8.—In the absence of representation in the house from Oregon, Representative Hepburn, of Iowa, introduced a bill authorizing the lighthouse board to immediately expend $120,000 for the construction and equipment of a new light vessel to take the place of light vessel No. 50, off the mouth of the Columbia river, which is now undergoing repairs; also a bill authorizing the construction of a new lighthouse tender, costing $150,000 to replace the Manzanita, which is deemed unworthy of repairs. It appears that even Morgan is likely to howl when his fingers are pinched. It will be a hard task, even for the President, to reform both football and the life insurance game. Francis Wilson has become a father-in-law. This entitles him to congratulations from Lillian Russell. Cuba seems to be overly sensitive toward the United States, to whom she owes her very existence as a nation. "One can buy a modest little evening b't for $50," says a fashion writer. Possibly one can, but more of us can't. By the way, is that woman who had a needle removed from her tongue the only one of the sex to need the operation? When the Russian soldiers begin to make demands the Oscar realizes how uneasy lies the head that wears a crown. A Boston paper refers to him as "Albert Austin, the poet laureate." But matter. He says he never reads press clippings. Recent dispatches from the Isle of Pines say all is quiet there, the army having put its gun behind the door and gone out to hoe the pineapples. A mob hooted at the oldest daughter of King Edward in the streets of London the other day. The outlook for the royalty business is anything but promising. One of the railroad magnates gave his son for a wedding present the other day a check for $250,000. Well, it wasn't at the expense of policy holders, anyway. Professor E. Benjamin Andrews declares that football breeds kindness and restraint. This opinion is startling enough to make a pretty good ad. for the professor. With a score of twenty-five killed and fifty-five wounded to their credit, why not arrange a match between the hunters of Michigan and Wisconsin and an all-star gridiron team? A young man in Maryland lies so continuously and unwarrantably that his parents think that he will some day become famous as a witness before some investigating committee. When Perkins was a boy, just entering the life insurance business, he received a beautiful letter that was full of good advice from his father. This only goes to show the uselessness of writing. Wise men sit in the learner's seat all their lives, and no one is too old or too well informed to go to school. In a Pennsylvania Sunday school is a class of six men and women whose ages run from 75 to 84. The teacher is a mere infant, 65 years old. His pupils are obedient to their teacher and he is modestly respectful to his elders. --- Voting machines, on the principle of the cash register, have worked well where they have been tried. The result is ready as soon as the voting ceases. None of the troubles of a recount can arise. Considering the rapidity with which the Australian ballot came into use, it would not be surprising, after the complications in New York City, if voting by machine now made some headway. Like many other things in the world, it is simple enough to those who get used to it. Women are savers rather than spenders. And when they spend they spend to good advantage. A dollar in a woman's hands goes twice as far as a dollar in the hands of a man. If you want to save money let your wife be the banker. This is for the man who gets wages out of a job and for the man who gets a salary out of a position. This is for the workingman, whether he labors with his hands or toils with his brain. This is for the married man and for the man about to be married. It is for men in every class of life and every walk of life. It is the best advice for the average man everywhere. Every move that has been made during the insurance investigation has been for the benefit of the policy-holder. Every damaging revelation that has been made strengthens their interests. The policy-holders who remain are the policy-holders that will win. Those who go out will regret it. In spite of all the sins of omission and commission that have been brought to the doors of the officers of these companies there is nothing yet brought to the surface/indicating financial weakness. On the contrary, their very strength has furnished the temptation for that exhibition of ethical weakness which has been so sensational. Reform of the prisoner was the aim of those who first advocated the indeterminate sentence. The plan has been supposed to be satisfactory, but the recent National Prison Congress pointed out some flaws. The chief trouble comes from the fact that some States which have adopted the indeterminate sentence have complicated it with a maximum and a minimum term, so that it is indeterminate only within fixed limits. The effect of this is that many prisoners, knowing they can be held only the maximum time, obey the rules well enough to secure the rebate, but upon their release revert to lives of crime. The recommendations of the congress were: Well-guarded laws permitting the suspension of sentences before imprisonment in cases of minor offenses; provisions for indeterminate sentences in the penal system of every State; and the creation of non-partisan boards to handle the cases of paroled prisoners. Professor Max Herz, an Austrian scientist, has lately published an essay on "the difference between wind and draught," in the course of which he defines a draught to be "a current of air in an inclosed space." He illustrates the idea by saying that if a person who is in a room sits before an open window into which the wind is blowing it is harmless, but that if he sits near an open window past which the wind is blowing the air inside is drawn out of the window by suction and is certain to give him a cold. Strangely enough the professor makes no mention of draughts except currents of air moving from a room through a window to the outside of the house. Whatever an Austrian draught may be, an American draught is any current of air which chills the body unequally. In the nature of the case this can not happen out of doors, nor can it be produced indoors by an air current of great volume or of great force. For the most part it is a gentle movement of cool air toward some limited portion of the body and the gentleness of the movement constitutes its greatest danger, because it frequently does severe damage before it is noticed. The same effect may be produced without any air current at all. A person who goes into a warm hall and sits down with his shoulder near a cold iron pillar or plaster column for an hour is almost sure to leave the place with a touch of rheumatism in that shoulder. The same thing takes place when a person sits in a warm office with one side of his body turned toward a plate glass window in extremely cold weather. The conduction of bodily heat in this way is so great that if the palm of a warm hand is held close to the window pane the sensation will be that of wind blowing through the glass. What is stranger still, some of the effects of a draught are occasionally experienced when a person who is quite cold all over has one part of his body brought in contact with a current of warm air. This shows that the essential feature in a draught is the unequal heating of different parts of the body. When a cold jet of air plays on the body of a person who is otherwise warm what happens is that the blood is driven inward until congestion is produced, and this congestion, unless soon relieved, becomes inflammation. The alarm signal of a draught is a sneeze, which is a spasmodic effort of nature to start up the circulation and relieve the congestion. A person may be far gone toward contracting a cold before he sneezes, but the moment he gets this warning he should change his position, look around for the draught and move out of it or protect himself against it. A draught is something to be sneezed at—and to be avoided. Draughts cause more deaths than war, whisky, football, consumption and yellow fever put together. Almost everybody who dies from disease dates his sickness from taking cold. This is especially true of elderly people. Yet it is a matter in regard to which there is great ignorance and great inattention. This is the season when colds, influenza and rheumatism are quite fashionable among people who live indoors, and they may save doctors' bills and lengthen their lives by reflecting on these homely suggestions. Beware the draught. Not Caught Up. A man who was travelling through the Ozark Mountains on horseback stopped before a typical Arkansas farmhouse to inquire the way. "What's the news?" asked the mountaineer, as he leaned his hank frame against the fence and pulled his long beard thoughtfully. On finding that what had become a part of history was news to him, the traveler asked why he did not take some weekly or even monthly periodical, that he might keep in touch with the world at large. "Wal," said the old man, "when my pa died, ten years ago, he left me a stack of newspapers that high"—indicating a height of about three feet—"and I ain't done readin' of 'em yet." Men Useful in Some Ways Life to women, especially to young women, means love, and little else but love. Man exists to be run after, or to be run away from; to be attracted, married, deceived, divorced. In the world he serves other purposes; but in the ordinary woman's ordinary novel he lives for these alone.—Bookman. African Salt Marshes. Along the central part of the Kongo River there are a number of salt marshes. The Africans dig shallow holes in these, whence issue streams of hot water which, on being evaporated, leaves a residue of salt. No. Probably Not. "Yes," said the astronomer, "we can easily distinguish signs of canals on Mars." "That so?" inquired the languid citizen. "I wonder if the Martians can see any sign of the Panama Canal?"—Louisville Courrier-Journal. There is always a mystery about how the people next door live. THE NEW AGE. PORTLAND. OREGON.

MINNEAPOLIS MINNESOTA Pillsbury's BEST FLOUR Leads the World Made In MINNEAPOLIS R MILLING CO. Dakota. Capacity 2,000 Barrels Daily and Grand Forks, N. Dak. MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA The probable fact that the Oregonian's principal animating motive in attacking the gas company is npleen and spite against certain men who own the gas plant because they also own stock and advertise heavily in the Journal, is not an answer to the facts which for some time past it has been presenting in regard to the exactions and extortions of the Portland gas monopoly. Except for these people's support of the Journal, the Oregonian might never have noticed their shortcomings and longdoings; the "first families" might have been among the best people on earth (though not Elks), and Mr. W. M. Ladd would still have been a most admirable business man and citizen. Yet these probabilities, not to say certainties, do not alter the facts which the Oregonian presents, nor the justness of the opinions expressed by many citizens who are complaining both of the quality of the gas furnished and the cost. The price, as is clearly seen by comparison with other cities, many of them smaller than Portland, is exhorbitant, and there is plenty of evidence that the quality is, to say the least, poor and not up to the standard which consumers have a right to expect. Besides this, as we stated last week, a great many people have suspicions, if not positive knowledge that there is something wrong in many cases with the meters, or with the reading of them. There are people who have paid at one time only, say $1.50 for a month's gas, who burning approximately the same amount have been charged $4 or $5 the next month, and perhaps still more the next, and when a sufficiently vigorous complaint was made the price fell back to the original amount, for at least a month or two. Indeed, the complaints have been so numerous and varied and vigorous, and in many cases indignant, that the complaint clerk must have about the hardest job, and deserves about the largest salary, in town. What is needed here, now that Portland has grown to its present proportions and is certain to grow rapidly in the future, is a genuine opposition company, operating under a franchise requiring gas of good standard quality to be furnished at a reasonable price, say not to exceed 75 cents per M.; or if this cannot be secured, then under the initiative the city should proceed to erect and maintain its own gas plant. This it should do in any case, the same as it maintains its waterworks. Why not the one as well as the other? As to the talk about a perpetual monopoly franchise, we think the courts would soon dispose of that nonsense negatively. At least it is certain that they should. When a franchise becomes manifestly a means by which legality to rob tens of thousands of people, it has lost on the broad ground of public policy the right to an existence. Mr. H. W. Wack, a New York lawyer, has written and published a book entitled "The Story of the Congo," giving an account of the social, political and economic aspects of the Belgian system of government in Central Africa. The book is interesting in some portions, and probably true in some particulars, but it is chiefly a laudation of King Leopold of Belgium, whom Mr. Wack visited, and by whom he was accorded certain privileges. The book as a whole seems to have been inspired and was probably paid for by old Leopold, whom almost everybody regards as the meanest and most unscrupulous sovereign on earth, whose robberies and extortions and enslavements and extortions and enslavements and slaughterings in the Congo State are too well authenticated to be disproven by such a one-sided and manifestly prejudiced story as this. Mr. Wack never was in the Congo State, and knows little or nothing about it on its people except what he learned at Brussels, by permission and under the authority of King Leopold. This horrible old king is one of the richest men on earth, and has made his money large by oppression and scoundrelism of one sort or another. He is stingy, but has been vigorously at tacked lately by Mark Twain and other investigators of conditions in the Congo State, and very likely might loosen up enough to pay for his version of Congo affairs in a book, but no well-informed or unprejudiced reader will believe much of it. Leopold has been a tyrant of the meanest sort at home and abroad. He has treated his own family shamefully and heartlessly, so that his own children found it impossible to live with or near him. He cannot exercise his tyrannical nature enough to suit him over the Belgians, for they would dethrone him and perhaps end his baneful existence if he tried to do so, and he is a foxy old creature; so he got hold of the Congo State, a very numerously populated country of Central Africa, inhabited by Negroes, and proceeded with his benevolent government there until at last account a large proportion of the population, amounting to many millions, had by one process or another been killed off, and the rest are practically slaves. This is a very brief outline of the other side of the story that the old Belgian monster did not tell to his eulogist, Attorney Wack. Fortunately Leopold is old and cannot live long, and when the world is rejoicing at his death the dawn of a better day may come to the such of persecuted, harried and hounded people of Congo as have not then been murdered. THE GENERAL ELECTRIC Speaking of lights, it is an agreeable contrast to turn from the gas company to the Portland General Electric company, under the management of Mr. H. W. Goode. This company has done an immense amount of work in extending and improving its lines and its service generally during several years past, and especially last year, and will carry on this good work on a far more extensive and expensive scale this year and in the future. Of course, in the conduct of such a great business an occasional complaint may be made, and everybody cannot at all times be entirely satisfied; but all reasonable people will agree that the General Electric company has done all that under the circumstances of such expansion and improvement could be expected, especially when it was maturing plans and preparing for far greater work in the near future. During the Fair last year everybody who visited the grounds at night was enchanted with the magnificent electric display, and the perfection of the service rendered. While the fair was going on large contemplated extensions and improvements had to be temporarily postponed; but as soon as it was over and Mr. Goode, who rendered such valuable service as president and general manager of the Exposition, could give his attention to the affairs of his company he perfected plans for the work now to be carried out. On his return recently from New York he announced that $500,000 or more would be expended as rapidly as it could be done judiciously in extending, improving and perfecting the General Electric's system in Portland and vicinity. The expenditure of this great sum will be of great value to Portland in many ways; it will give this city the best electric service on the Coast, employ a great number of men, and be of much benefit to many business men. There may be a difference of opinion among some as to the kind of light most desirable—not alluding here to the splendid and reasonable power service rendered by this company—but probably a great majority. if not nearly all people, would on the same terms prefer electricity to gas. It gives a better light, is cleaner, less dangerous and finally cheaper. Portland in general has no complaint to make of this company, especially in view of the expenditure in enlargement and betterments of this large sum of money. The General Electric deserves well of the people of Portland. CIVILIANS AND TRANSPORT Army Rules Constantly Evade Officers and Friends It is reported from Washington the war department is renewing efforts to restrict the use of the ports to officers and soldiers of army. Similar reports have reus before. They make periods, pearances, but the transports come to be filled with civilians, junk political personages and the s the cousins and the aunts of o and men not to mention their. Following are the extract statements of Governor Vardaman of Mississippi, alluded to last week. They were made by him in his message to the Mississippi legislature, which makes his offense not only against the Negro race in this country, but against all good citizens and friends of human enlightenment and progress worse than if his remarks had been casual or unconsidered. Governor Vardaman said: "As a race the Negro is deteriorating morally every day. Time has demonstrated that he is more criminal as a free man than as a slave, that he is increasing in criminality with fearful rapidity, being one-third more criminal in 1890 than he was in 1880. In the South, Mississippi particularly, I know he is growing worse every year. You can scarcely pick up a newspaper whose pages are not blackened with an account of an unmentionable crime committed by a Negro brute, and this crime, I want to impress upon you, is but the manifestation of the Negroes' aspiration for social equality, encouraged largely by the character of free education in vogue, which the state is levying tribute upon the white people to maintain. It is your function to put a stop to the worse than wasting of a half million dollars annually—money taken from the tolling white men and women of Mississippi—and devoted to the main purpose of trying to make something of the Negro which the Great Architect of the universe failed to provide for in the original plan of creation." This blatant Negrophobist is contradicted by almost everybody who has studied the "Negro problem." He is such a Negrophobist that he has evidently gone crazy on the subject, or he could not utter such a mess of lies and venomous slanders. VANCOUVER LUCKY. It was reported early this week that Mr. H. W. Goode, president of the Portland General Electric company, acting for Eastern capitalists, had purchased the Vancouver electric light plant, at a cost of about $200,000, and that $50,000 or more would be spent in improvements. This was good news to the people of the growing and historic city across the Columbia, for while the service there may have been fairly good heretofore, that under Mr. Goode's management and in consequence of the improvements to be made, it will be much better there can be no doubt. Every effort will be made to increase the efficiency of the plant and make it equal to any in any city of Vancouver's size in the country.

Only four Republican candidates for governor yet. Somebody says that their chances are in this order—Withycombe, Johns, Geer, Sehlbrede—but perhaps he doesn't know. Commissioner Barnes is said to have his eye on the sheriff's office, which he thinks he could capture as against Word, or any other Democrat. Is Judge Ellis to have no Republican opposition in the primaries? There are very many who think he should have. Many lawyers would like Judge Sears' shoes, though all people regret the cause of his probably not being a candidate. Brownell of Clackamas, won't have a walkover for the nomination for state senator this time. The city should own its gas works. Army Rules Constantly Evaded by Officers and Friends It is reported from Washington that the war department is renewing its efforts, to restrict the use of the transports to officers and soldiers of the army. Similar reports have reached us before. They make periodic appearances, but the transports continue to be filled with civilians, junketing political personages and the sisters, the cousins and the aunts of officers and men, not to mention their wives, children and servants, while the young subalterns continue to be thrust into the cramped quarters 'tween-deck-to accommodate persons who never wear epaulettes or shoulder muskets. The war department has not yet had the hardihood to deny openly that families of officers are entitled to free transportation across the seas, but it tries to limit the size of the families, not infrequently with amusing results. Not many months ago an infantry captain applied for transportation for his wife, two sisters and children. The allowance of sisters was cut down one-half, only one being given accommodations. However, he managed to ring in the rejected sister as the nurse to his child. This shrewd solution of the problem looked lovely and everybody was happy until on arriving on board the transport it was found that, while the wife and other sister were given cabin staterooms the nurse sister was assigned to the steerage quarters with the wives of enlisted men. Horribil! The roar that arose was heard 'way up Folsom street. The throats of both sexes were taxed to express their horror and indignation. The quartermaster captain was at once summoned and a lively protest made. Of course, the story came out then and the fact that the alleged nurse was really a brother officer's fair sister travelling in disguise was impressed upon the perplexed quartermaster captain, who for a time took refuge in a quiet stateroom to think out the situation. It was finally patched up in some way and both sisters taken to Manila, but the nurse trick was not attempted again by that family, although it has been successfully worked at other times. Another officer with a wife and two sisters had a less fortunate experience only a few days ago. He had been ordered to the Philippines on special duty. His application for his wife and two sisters to accompany him was frowned upon. He thereupon wrote to the authorities, saying that his position, being on special duty, was not akin to that of those proceeding under routine orders or routine duties. He was in a class by himself, etc. Back from Washington came a telegram just before the vessel sailed giving authority for the two sisters to accompany the officer, but directing that the wife would have to be left behind!—San Francisco Argonaut. HUNTING THE SEA OTTER. How Aleuts Procure One of the Most Valuable Fur Skins. Valuable Fur Skins. No landsmans's still hunt affords the thrilling excitement the otter hunters spearing surrounds, says the Outing Magazine. Fifteen or twenty-five little skin skiffs, with two or three men in each, paddle out under a chief elected by common consent. Whether fog or clear, the spearing is done only in calm weather. The long line of bidarkas circles silently over the silver sea. Not a word is spoken. Not a paddle blade allowed to click against the bone gun'els of the skiff. Double-bladed paddles are frequently used, so shift of paddle is made from side to side of the canoe without a change of hands. The skin bidarkas take to the water as noiselessly as the glide of a duck. Yonder, where the bowlders lie mile on mile awash in the surf, kelp rafts—forests of seaweed—lift and fall with the rhythmic wash of the tide. Hither the otter hunters steer, silent as shadows. The circle wildens, deploys, forms a cordon round the outermost rim of the kelp fields. Suddenly a black object is seen floating on the silver surface of the water—a sea otter asleep. Quick as flash the steersman lifts his paddle. Not a word is spoken, but so keen is the hearing of the sleeping otter the drip of the lifted paddle has not splashed into the sea before the otter has awakened, looked, dived like lightning to the bottom before one of the alert hunters can hurl his spear. Silently, not a whisper, the steersman signals again. The hunters deploy in a circle half a mile broad around the place where the sea otter disappeared, for they know that in fifteen or twenty minutes the animal must come up for breath, and it cannot run farther than half a mile under the sea before it reappears. Suddenly somebody sees a round black red head poke above water, perhaps close to the line of watchers. With a wild shout the nearest bidkas dart forward. Whether the spear throw has hit or missed, the shout has done enough. The terrified otter dives before it has breath. Over the second diving spot a hunter is stationed, and the circle narrows, for the otter must come up quicker this time. It must have breath. Again and again the little, round, rufous head peeps up. Again the shout greets it! Again the lightning dive! Sometimes only a bubble gurgling to the top of the water guildes the watchers. Presently the body is so full of gases from suppressed breathing it can no longer sink, and a quick spear throw secures the quarry. When the small boy takes the cake he thinks that he is receiving only his just dessert VIENNA MODEL BAKERY 390 Morrison St. FISHER & MILLER, Props.

At a large meeting of the members of Western Star club, of Chicago, held on Monday evening, December 18, 1905. Mr. John G. Jones, a former member of the legislature of Illinois and a member of the club, offered the following resolutions which were broadly adopted: Whereas, at the coming session of the legislature of the state of Illinois there is to be elected a United States senator to succeed Senator Shelby M. Gullom and Citium, whereas, there is now 32,000 colored voters in the state of Illinois that will vote to help elect members of the legislature that will elect a United States senator, and United States senators Whereas, Senator Shelby M. Culom, now the present United States senator from the state of Illinois, has never been and is not now in any sense whatever a friend to the colored people in this state, and that it has been stated upon good authority, and never denied by anybody, and not even by Senator Culom himself, that a number of years ago that Senator Culom did at one time in Springfield Illinois, take his children out of the public schools in Springfield, Illinois, because and for the reason that the colored children of Springfield were permitted and allowed to go to the same schools in Springfield that his children and the other white children did and dren and, in Whereas, it is reported and not disputed Senator Cullom did when while he was governor of the state of Illinois issue an order and did muster out of the service the 16th battalion of colored men of Chicago, and solely for no other cause or reason but simply on account of color, and Whereas, it was reported in public meetings in Chicago at that time that Senator Cullom, then governor of the state of Illinois, did say that he objected and would not have a colored military company in the state militia of the state of Illinois. Therefore, Be it resolved that the members of this club avail themselves of this opportunity to place their seal of disapproval against a man that acts and does as it has been charged that Senator Cullom has done, giving a gross insult and heaping upon two hundred thousand colored people in the state of Illinois abuse after abuse, wrong after wrong Resolved further. That we now call upon the 200,000 colored people in this state from this time on to use all honorable means to defeat the election of any man who is a candidate as a member of the legislature who would vote or use his interests for the election of Senator Cullom as a United States senator. Resolved further. That we here pledge ourselves from this time until the election of the United States senator is over to use our influence with every colored man in this state, and every white man that believes in justice and fair play, to work for the election of the honorable Richard T. Yates for United States senator. Resolved further. That a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to ex-Governor Richard T. Yates and the same be enrolled upon the records of this club. This direct primary nomination law puts the politician studying differently from ever before. And yet nobody out for United States senator. Does anybody want that office? There will be plenty of candidates for secretary of state and state treasurer. Senator Gearin will do as good work in Washington as a Democrat can. Judge Webster is circulating around a little, but hasn't publicly spoken out yet. Will our friend N. H. Bird be a candidate for sheriff again, as usual? At least, Professor Hawley can make people hear when he talks. Judge Hailey may receive quite a number of Republican votes. Some members of the legislature won't sign the pledge. State Printer Whitney will probably succeed himself. Judge George thinks he might be induced to run again. Nobody has to ask the consent of a political boss. All good men so far, but there are others. Lots of politics in Salem and Baker city. The Illinois Central maintains unexcelled service from the west to the east and south.

Pools that Cost Nothing. Pools that cost the brook or running stream of natural outdoor water gives a variety of chances for the man that wishes to live his life aright, says County Life in America. The brook can be converted, without being diverted, into a swimming pool for boys by building a dam at the point where the banks do a little extra shelving and tend to form a natural basin. The bottom should be spaded out and made more of a reservoir in its capacity and shape. The dam itself can be made by a family of boys at the cost of lumber and nails involved. The embankments are sodded. The sides of the spillway are made of wooden posts driven into the ground and boarded up. This makes a boxed-up affair, or rather two boxes, one on each side of the stream. These boxes are filled with sand, rock and sod to make a solid cubic piece of resistance. The sodded embankments run across the valley or depression of the brook hollow to the higher ground. By means of a lever—a pole (playing into a wooden-jawed socket and weighted with a rock or pieces of iron)—the watergate can be operated against a strong headway of water. The water flows over the top of the spillway when it is closed and by raising the gate the pond can be emptied or reduced to the normal level of the brook. A dressmaker cannot be said to be worth as much as $2 a day unless the women quarrel over her. THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON.

DECOY STEER LEADS OTHERS TO DEATH. THE BULLS Bill is a handsome red and white steer and he makes his home in the stock yards of Swift & Co. in St. Joseph, Mo. He is 2 years old and is one of the most intelligent animals imaginable. He is employed as a decoy and he has led many thousands of his kind to their death during the time he has been in the business of slaughtering. At one time Bill was the wildest of the wild steers in the yards. He came fresh from the Texas ranges and was as full of life and vigor as it is possible for a steer to be. That was the reason he was selected to take the place in the killing chutes of his predecessor, who had grown old and a little bit lazy. It is necessary that the animal used in this business shall not grow fat or slothful. He must be energetic, full of life and willing to work. The task of taming Bill was undertaken and he was soon a docile animal and yet full of vigor and fire. He was then trained to his work. It took a long time to teach him, but he finally learned what was wanted of him and he is now a perfect decoy. Brig. Pebbles of the western territory of the Salvation Army, recently took a trip through the yards of Swift & Co. and he took a great interest in Bill. Said Brig. Pebbles: "I never saw a more intelligent animal than Bill. He leads about 1,000 of his kind up the killing chute every day and does it with an intelligence that is remarkable. He takes his place in front of a bunch of cattle and tries to attract their attention. After he gets them all to looking in his direction he starts up the chute and as the leader nears the end he curls up and allows those following to pass by. If the cattle are inclined to hesitate he will start again for a few feet and then curl up again, and in this way he teases them on until they arrive at the fatal pen. The animal seems to be gifted with almost human intelligence, and it is wonderful the way he has been trained. He seems to take pride in his work and at times seems to display almost a mischievous delight in luring the herds to their death." Brig. Pebbles tells also of a big black ram who leads the sheep to the slaughter pen. He employs the same methods as Bill does, but of course he has an easier position, for sheep are proverbial for their tendencies to follow the leader. It is no difficult matter at all for this black sheep to get a big flock to follow him up the long chute that leads to the killing pens. The foolish animals fall into line and trail up the steep pathway with patterning feet and are soon in the pen, while the black sheep who lured them on remains huddled against the side of the fence, ready to go back and call another bunch of bleating animals up the narrow way. New Light on the Horse. For information in regard to the make-up and habits of the horse, that given in an essay by a Bombay student is both suggestive and picturesque. "The horse is a very noble quadruped, but when he is angry he will not do so," begins this investigator in the realms of natural history. He goes on to state: "The horse is ridden on the spinal cord by the bridle, and sadly the driver places his foots on the stirrup, and divides his lower limbs across the saddle and drives his animal to the meadow. He has a long mouth, and his head is attached to the trunk by a long protuberance called the neck. He has four legs; two are on the front side and two are afterwards. "These are the weapons on which he runs, and also defends himself by extending those in the rear in a parallel direction towards his foe, but this he does only when in a vexatious mood. "His foodings is generally grasses and grains. He is also useful to take on his back a man or woman as well as some cargo. He has power to run as fast as he could. He has got no sleep at night time, and always standing awaken. Also there are horses of short sizes. They do the same as the others are generally doing. There is no animal like the horse; they have tall, but not so long as the cow and other such like other animals." A Knock. Walter—Did you order beef a la mode, sir? Grouch (impatiently)—Yes.

LEADING HOTELS FIRST-CLASS FIREPROOF $3.00 PER DAY Science AND Invention About three hundred species of mosquitoes have been described, and it is estimated that two hundred more exist. Giles recognizes only thirty-six species in the whole of North America, but Florida alone claims twenty-two species. Poisoning from gas inhalation is now added to the recognized dangers of ballooning. The hydrogen—itself nonpoisonous—is often contaminated with arsenic, selenium and antimony, and fourteen cases of ill effects have been reported to the French Academy of Medicine. In one of the two forms of poisoning death results in two or three days. Blowing wells, sometimes known as breathing wells, are now being investigated by the United States Geological Survey. The best known examples of this type of well are found throughout Nebraska. The force of the air current in one of the Louisiana wells is sufficient to keep a man's hat suspended above it. Such phenomena are mainly due to changes in atmosphere pressure. Some anxiety is being caused in Germany by the decline of the birth rate. In 1904 the birth rate was 30.5 in each 1,000 inhabitants, against 30.9 in 1903, 32.1 in 1902, 33.4 in 1901, and 33.7 in 1900. The decrease, therefore, is continuous. Lung disease, not only in towns but in the country as well, is decreasing. It is claimed that this result is owing to the systematic and scientific war which the authorities are conducting against this scourge. The prosperity of Japan depends very largely upon the sea. A thousand varieties of fish—including the shark—are eaten by the inhabitants, the annual yield of the fisheries being three million tons, or three times the consumption in the United States. The value of this product is $30,000,000. The coasts also supply an edible alga known as laver, and other sea weeds from which food gelatine is extracted, together with large quantities of salt. From Japan, moreover, comes a large quantity of the world's coral and pearls. Luther Burbank, of California, who has probably produced more new varieties of fruits, flowers and plants than any other living man, said recently to a friend that he was accustomed, when selecting for color among newly created flowers, to submit the choice to a lady of his acquaintance noted for her exquisite taste. Mr. Burbank's own judgment, however, in the matter of color and form is highly trained, and is exercised with surprising quickness and sureness of decision. Among his latest productions is a daly, in which he has striven especially to obtain a graceful carriage of the stem and flower. Postal authorities in Milan, Italy, use an automobile wagon in which to collect part of the mail. The car runs between the central postoffice and the branch offices and boxes in the different districts of the city. The automobile is of large size, on the style of an omnibus, and is fitted out so that the mail can be sorted by one clerk while the car is running. The car stops at each letter box to collect the mail, and between the boxes the clerk sorts and stamps the letters and passes them in packages to a second man who puts them in a series of compartments corresponding to each carrier's route. This car covers a route fourteen miles long and collects the mail from all boxes in an hour and a half. The influence of occupations upon the eyesight is strikingly illustrated by statistics collected among the schools of Germany and France. In Germany it has been shown that 50 per cent of those engaged in the so-called liberal professions suffer more or less from myopia, or shortness of sight, whereas among laborers, the percentage drops to 5, and among peasants to only a half of 1 per cent. The remarkable growth of myopia with increase of attention demanded by school work is indicated by the fact that the eyes of only 6 per cent of the scholars in the primary schools of France are affected, but those of more than 20 per cent in the secondary schools. In the College Rollin 15 per cent of the scholars have myopia in the lower grade, 32 per cent in the third grade, and 55 per cent in the courses in philosophy. Reasoning from Experience. A little East Side boy was having his first country outing, says the New York Tribune. He lay on the grass in a peach orchard, making a chain of daisies and buttercups. Across the blue sky a line of swallows dipped. "Look up, look up, Johnny! See the pretty birds flying through the alr," said his hostess. Jimmy looked up quickly. "Poor little fellers!" he exclaimed, pityingly. "They ain't got no cages, have they?" Followed Instructions. "Why didn't you put this watermelon in the ice box, as I told you?" asked the mistress of the maid. Then, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Maggie, the maid, grew indignant. "I did, mum." "But it isn't cold." "No. mum. How could it be? I had to take the ice out to get it in." If the woman who throws a shawl over her head to run into a neighbor's had time to pass a looking glass, her reason for going would be scared out of her head and she would remain at home.

Looking in the Future. Mrs. Bacon—I see by this paper that Alexander Wilkinsonshaw of London uses his arm as a genealogical tree. It has been tattooed with dates. In addition to his own and his wife's birth dates and the record of their marriage he has the name and date of the birth of each of his children. Mr. Bacon—If Alexander should happen to lose his wife and go courting again it might be embarrassing for him to have his family around the girl so much of the time. Yonkers Statesman.

Its arithmetical symbol is simple and without much pretension, says London Answers. Let us briefly take a glance at it as a measure of time, distance and weight. As a measure of time, I would take one second as the unit and carry myself in thought through the lapse of ages back to the first day of the year 1 of our era, remembering that in all those years we have 365 days and in every day, just 86,400 seconds of time. Hence, in returning in thought back again to this year of grace 1905, one might have supposed that a billion of seconds had long since lapsed, but this is not so for it takes just 31,687 years, 17 days 22 hours, 45 minutes and 5 seconds to constitute a billion of seconds of time Let us try in imagination to arrange a billion sovereigns for inspection. Let us put one on the ground and pile upon it as many as will reach twenty feet in height; then let us place numbers of similar columns in close contact, forming a straight line and making a sort of wall twenty feet high. Imagine two such walls running parallel to each other and forming, as it were, a long street. It is not until we have extended our imaginary street to a distance of 2,386½ miles that we shall be presented for inspection our 1,000,000,000 of coins. Or, in lieu of this arrangement, we may place them flat upon the ground, forming one continuous line like a long golden chain, with every link in close contact. But to do this we must pass over land and sea, mountain and valley, desert and plain, crossing the equator and returning around the southern hemisphere through the trackless ocean, retrace our way again across the equator, then still on and on until we again arrive at our starting point, and when we have thus passed a golden chain round the huge bulk of the earth we shall be but at the beginning of our task. We must drag this imaginary chain no less than 763 times around the globe. Such a chain would require for its transport no less than 2,325 ships, each with a full cargo of 3,000 tons. Even then there would be a residue of 447 tons, representing 64,081,900 sovereigns. For a measure of height, let us take the thin sheets of paper on which these lines are printed. If laid out flat and firmly pressed together, as in a well-bound book, these would represent a measure of about 1-333 of an inch in thickness. Let us see how high a dense pile formed by a billion of these thin paper leaves would reach. We must, in imagination, pile them vertically upward, by degrees reaching to the height of our tallest spires; and passing these, the pile must still grow higher, topping the Alps and Andes and the highest peaks of the Himalayas. Still pile on your thousands and millions of thin leaves, for we are only beginning to rear the mighty mass. Add millions on millions of sheets and thousands of miles on these, and still the number will lack its due amount. When our one billion sheets are superimposed upon each other and pressed into a compact mass they have reached an altitude of 17,348 miles! Degrees of Kicks. "Let me tell you something, Sam." said the overseer; "the blow of a whale's tale is the strongest animal force in the world; the kick of a giraffe is second, and the stroke of a lion's paw the third." "Oh, well, I s'pose, boss, by de time dey gets down to de kick of a mule dey'd have us believe it is just a gentle lub tap." ROOSEVELT AND A BOY. They Had a Jolly Informal Chat About Outdoor Sports. One boy—one of many—who had the honor of meeting the President now acts as if Mr. Roosevelt's eyes were constantly on him, says St. Nicholas. This lad was not a small boy when he was presented; he was big enough to play baseball with skill and energy and on ordinary occasions he was a haughty sophomore. This boy wanted to see the President, but his outward calmness was disturbed by the intimation from his sisters that he would have to make three bows as he approached the President and say, "Your excellency." The courage that had stood six hours' exposure in a heavy sea on the keel of an upturned boat weakened before this prospect. A benevolent friend corrected the alarming suggestion of the sisters by telling him that he would simply be expected to say, "Mr. President," to stand until everybody was seated and to go when the President should rise. This seemed easy; still, it was evident that the fearless athlete was reverently practicing "Mr. President" with his lips as he approached the White House. All uneasiness disappeared, however, when the President, catching sight of the boy stepped forward and called him by his surname, "Sit down!" he said, and then he began to talk about a subject dear to the lad's heart—the recent races at Poughkeepsle. Etiquette was forgotten; the boy held fast to "Mr. President," when he thought of it, in the delight of talking with somebody who "really knew" all about the ins and outs of intercollegiate races, but sometimes he forgot and merely said "you." The boy was palmed for a moment to discover that the President could not play baseball. To a near-sighted man who must wear glasses a baseball flying at large is much worse than a bullet. The lad admitted this and said afterward that "If Thackeray were alive and played baseball instead of cricket he would have had the same difficulty." The President showed him a very scientific ju-jitsu grip. And this was followed by an interchange of lore on this interesting Japanese science of physical culture, with illustrations, in which the boy entirely forgot his fear of the "court presentation" and talked and acted with entire respect, but entire freedom. The boy seemed to think that American muscle was a match for oriental skill, but he was plainly convinced that the President had both. Questions of boxing and riding came up and the President spoke as an expert and the boy listened and talked as one who understood but felt his limitations. Young Theodore, who has this year entered Harvard, was seen at school; but every now and then his father culled a bit from his son's experience in out-of-door sport. It was plain that, through sympathy in these matters, he had the same point of view as his sons. During all this interview the President was as enthusiastic on the various subjects discussed as the boy and he seemed to enjoy it as much as his boy visitor did: The talk drew out of the President his knowledge of the games that boys love. "When it comes to boxing or riding," he said, with conviction, "I think that my boys and I can hold our own." And several times the "we" was repeated in a way which showed that Mr. Roosevelt and his sons were to be considered a happy family of boys thoroughly in accord. It is not convenient to take his large "boy family" on his western and southern bear hunts, but the President does the next best thing. Every summer he goes "into camp" with his boys a few miles from his summer home at Oyster Bay. Could Give Time Value Dr. W. W. Keen, the noted surgeon of Philadelphia, was praising speed in surgical operations. The best surgeons, he declared, were always the swiftest. Speed was one of the great essentials of fine operations, since the brefer the period passed by the patient under the knife, the greater the chance for his complete recovery. "On this head," Dr. Keen continued, smiling, "there is a story of a distinguished surgeon. "He performed successfully a difficult and delicate operation on a millionaire banker's wife, and, naturally, the bill that he rendered for this operation was a large one. It was not exorbitant, but it was enough—a reasonable and just bill. "The banker, though, thought otherwise. With an imprecation, he declared the bill to be an outrage. "Why,' he cried, 'the operation only took you 10 minutes.' "Oh,' he said, 'if that is your only objection, the next time any of your family needs an operation I'll keep them two or three hours under the knife.'" Didn't Need It by Day. "Gee, but Bill's got a nerve!" "Put me wise." "He went to de pawnshop to soak his bed, an' wanted to know if de pawnbroker wouldn't let him take it home nights to sleep on."—Cleveland Leader.

THE WINNING STROKE If more than ordinary skill in playing brings the honors of the game to the winning player, so exceptional merit in a remedy ensures the commendation of the well informed, and as a reasonable amount of outdoor life and recreation is conducive to the health and strength, so does a perfect laxative tend to one's improvement in cases of constipation, biliousness, headaches, etc. It is all-important, however, in selecting a laxative, to choose one of known quality and excellence, like the ever pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., a laxative which sweetens and cleanses the system effectually, when a laxative is needed, without any unpleasant after effects, as it acts naturally and gently on the internal organs, simply assisting nature when nature needs assistance, without griping, irritating, or debilitating the internal organs in any way, as it contains nothing of an objectionable or injurious nature. As the plants which are combined with the figs in the manufacture of Syrup of Figs are known to physicians to act most beneficially upon the system, the remedy has met with their general approval as a family laxative, a fact well worth considering in making purchases. It is because of the fact that SYRUP OF FIGS is a remedy of known quality and excellence, and approved by physicians that has led to its use by so many millions of well informed people, who would not use any remedy of uncertain quality or inferior reputation. Every family should have a bottle of the genuine on hand at all times, to use when a laxative remedy is required. Please to remember that the genuine Syrup of Figs is for sale in bottles of one size only, by all reputable druggists and that full name of the company—California Fig Syrup Co., is plainly printed on the front of every package.

It is confidently stated that the shocking cruelties of the steel trap in common use for catching rabbits can readily and cheaply be prevented by twisting a few turns of copper or brass wire closely around each jaw, below the teeth, where the spring flies up, so as to insure the teeth being always fixed a full quarter of an inch open when the trap is sprung. Rabbitts are thus caught with equal ease, and when taken out of the traps are found uninjured. To complete their purpose, the traps must be placed far down in the holes and be regularly visited early and late. These modified traps are most successful, with advantages relative to food, while dogs, cats and birds derive proportionate freedom from suffering when trapped by mistake. BLOOD POISON THE BLACK FLAG The black flag is an emblem of horror and dread. When it is hoisted by an army, the order has gone forth that "no quarter" will be given, everything must be destroyed. Helpless women and children, as well as opposing soldiers, meet the same fate, and a trail of desolation, suffering and death is left behind. Contagious Blood Poison is the black flag of the great army of disease. This vile disorder is known as the blackest and most hideous of all human afflictions, overthrowing its victims and crushing out the life. It is no respecter of persons; no matter how pure the blood may be or how innocently the disease is contracted, when this awful virus enters the circulation the hideous, hateful and humiliating symptoms begin to appear, and the sufferer feels that his very presence is polluting and contaminating. Usually the first sign of the disease is a little sore or ulcer, but as the blood becomes more deeply poisoned the severer symptoms are manifested, the mouth and throat ulcerate, the glands in the groins swell, a red rash breaks out on the body, the hair and eyebrows come out, and often the body is covered with copper-colored spots, pustular eruptions and sores. In its worst stages the disease affects the nerves, attacks the bones and sometimes causes stomach and bowels, produces chronic dyspepsia, loosens the teeth and frequently causes mercurial rheumatism to add to the patient's suffering. S. S. S., the great vegetable medicine, is the conqueror of this vile disease. It goes down to the very root of the trouble and cleans by cleansing the blood of every particle of the poison. S. S.
