RAPE ON CHILD BY CHINAMAN.-On
last Sunday. (says the Truckee Tribune of
May Sth.) Chinaman. who had been en-
ployed by Chas. Nuce. of the Truckee House
at Crystal Peak. committed rape upon a
daughter of Nuce's only 6 years old. The
chill / has contracted loathsome disease
Nuce made the Chinaman own to having
tampered with the child He then took him
down to the bank of the river, shot him and
threw him into the stream the Chinaman
struggled and crawled out, when Nucc beat
him over the head with stone and he fell
back into the river. and it was the last that
was seen of the Chinaman. Public opinion
is that Nuce did only his duty.

POISONED. few weeks ago two men,
named LATHE and Martin, started out to
Joca,e some land claims near the head of Pitt
River. but not returning in reasonable
time. some of their neighbors went in search
of them. The searching party found the
bodies of the two men lying near where they
had camped. but no sign of violence was
found upon their persons. In their pockets,
however, we're found pieces of wild parsnip,
which indicated that the unfortunate men
had come to their death by eating this root,
which is very poisonous.

Uncle sam--Cuba--Spain and France

Is our Government, or the people" in
their policy toward Spain and IT'S province
of Cuba, following the precedent set oy
England during our war? Such con-
clusion appears inevitable. Expeditions
for Cuba have been undoubtedly fitted out
in our harbors. We are selling Alabamas
to the Cuban revolutionists, patriots, or
rebels-just as the people please to call
them. We are giving "aid and comfort
and moral support to the Cubans, and
thereby placing ourselves precisely In the
attitude of England to us during the
rebellion and war If we wish to know
how the Spanish people, who are lighting
to nut down the rebellion and retain Cuba,
feel toward the United States at this time,
we will find true answer by asking our
selves how we felt toward England during
the cruising of the Confederate English
pirates, and our merchantmen were being
burned and sunk on the ocean.
A late dispatch says our Government
has resolved, mot to prevent the departure
of any vessels, whether loaded with arms
or not, provided their apparent destination
is NOT direct for Cuba" If this informa-
tion is reliable or official, our Government
is acting worse than the English during
the war of the rebellion. The Cuban rev.
olntiouists as yet have not been acknowl-
edged belligerent rights by any power
unless by the Mexican-and that comes
near being no Government at all. Con-
sidering our grievances and our demands
upon England, it seems we are pursuing
singularly inconsistent policy toward Spain.
If our claims against Great Britain amount
to 1926, 100000, Zone fifth of our public
debit what will be Spain's demand against
us on the Cuban war?
The United States does not need Cuba,
We have territory sufficient without an
nexing the islands Of the ocean. But if
we did need Cuba, and its acquisition
would add to our wealth and power, the
judgment of Nations would be against our
securing it in the way we robbed Mexico of
Texas. A Government that is not ruled
by high moral principles may prosper for a
century, but in due time it will be destroy
ed by its own rottenness. Spain, England
anu FRANCE uUueTStduu NOiJ well tn"' "O
covet Cuba, They are fully posted on the
manifest destiny" theory of Young Amer
lea. France, being Catholic country,
will most assuredly go to the assistance of
Spain in case she needs physical aid to
hold Cuba. "Uncle Sam" is powerful
man, and in his prime and vigor. He
may bluff, but he cannot rule the world
He, however, can have fight, and a
hard one, for Cuba, if he says the word
We are in favor of.taking Cuba, like bold
highwayman, or letting it alone. A bold
policy is far preferable to sly, cunning
one. We should maintain our neutrality
obligations with Spain, or acknowledge the
independence of Cuba, and help the Creoles
do the fighting. We believe in no half
way work. We should show our hands
Either defy Spain, or recognize fully her
sovereignty over Cuba:-Marysuile Ap-

FoRr CRooK.-Mr Macarthur. resident
of Pit. River Valley. visited town this week,
and reports all kinds of growing crops as
being in very promising condition. Wheat
and barley in Pitt and Fall River valleys
look much better than that seen on the
ranches on Oak Run and Cow Creak. A
large number of emigrants from klamath
Valley, Oregon. have moved into Big Valley,
on Pitt River. and located ranches since the
lst of Nav. Big Valley is in Siskiyou coun-
tv. The garrison formerly at Fort Crook is
now at Surprise Valley. The fort is dis
mantled. and will probably be sold at auc.

on the basis outlined by Senator Sumner in
his recent speech. John Bull may bluster
and threaten awhile, but he will come down

How HOstetters Biucrs Cure Dyspepsia.
THE WHOLLY RrnnY IN A NIT SHELL

The Office Of the stomach is to convert the food into
a cream-ike semi-luid called CHYME. This is effected
partly by the action Of solvent called the gastric
juice, which oxudes from the coating of the stomach
and partly by a mechanical movement of that organ
which "churns," ms II were, the dissOlving aliment
Tho OHYME passes from the stomach into the duo
denum, entrance to the bowels where il il subjected
to the action Of the bile and the nutritious portion of
u converted into fluid called Ohyle which eventually
becomes blood
Now it ia evident that II the great sOlvant,th gastric
juice, s not produced in sufficient quantity, or II the
mechanical action OF the stomach s not sufficiently
brisk, the first process OF digestion will bo but imper
fecty performed 1t IL also clear that II tho liver
which plays such an important part in changing the
nourshnR portion Of the chymo into the material of
tho blood IL congested In any unnatural condition
tho seconi process will not bo thoroughly accomplish

The mode in which HOsTETTER'S BITTERs
operate In such is this: They inyRorate the eel

the food to homogeneous mass. They also act spe.
officially upon the liver strengthening 1t, and on
nabling II TO produce ample and regular supply of
