she Former Trial.
Yesterday morning, 1t becoming
known thst Elijah Rice, the witness
for the state in the Dill case who hal
refused to testify against the defend
ant and who WIS remanded TO Jail,
had agreed to give la his testimony,
the district court room WAS soon
thronged with spectators eBger TO hear
the evidence. The defendant, Dill,
together with the witness, took the
stand, and In answer TO the questions
put TO him 10y the prosecution, gave in
substance the following evidence !:
He had left home about ten O'Clock
ON Sunday night, December %, 1874,
giving his wife as an excuse that he
was going to some corn-wagons cut
on the prairie. He met Bell, and
soon afterwards Dill, the defendant,
when they all three went to the house
OF Clemency Reeds, negro woman,
who was at that time living on Diips
| place. Bell stepped up and asked the
woman IL Reuben Johnson was there,
and being told that he was, said, 'erell
him to come out ] want to see him.
The unsuspeeting negro came out, and
they all three laid hands on him,
telling him that he was their prisoner,
at the same time tying his hands
behind him. Having done this, they
carried him Into a branch bottom,
about half mile distant, where Rice,
the witness, tied the rope around his
neck, when one climbed the tree and
threw il over a limb, after which they
pulled him NJ, hanging him until
he was dead tie did not remember
that the defendant cut the victims
throat. They were ali there drinking
and his recollection of the details o!
the crime was not clear. After IL whs
over they separated 10 go home. Bell
going a part Of the way with him.
The wife OF Rice then took the stand
and testified as to- the time of her hna.
band leaving home and his return.
After the testimony OF these two
witnesses had been given in. the de.
tense made affidavit for a continuance
until the next term Of the court, ON the
grounds that they had witnesses, who
were not now available, who would
impeach the testimony OF Rice, and
that Rice had promised defendants
attorneys not 10 testify against de
fendant ia the matter The onurt
overruIed the motion, and the trial of
the caae win proceed 90 day.

TWO NOTED GRAVE RORBERs.

Our readers will remember the account
given in these columns Of the robbing of
the grave OF the Hon. Scott Harrison, in
Ohio. last May, the body being found in
the dssecting-room Of the Ohio Medical
College. Public Indignation justly brands
any man aS a scoundrcl who will rob the
crave of the dead But there are two
noted grave robbers in the country, so far
from being subjects of the peoples wrath,
are universally lauded for their virtues.
The reason is plain. While the former class
steal the dead bodies OF our loved ones to
submit them to the dissecting knife, these
only rob the graves to restore the living
victims to our hearts and homes. Their
names-Dr Picrce's Golden Medical Dis
covery and Pleasant Purgative Pellets
are household words the world over. The
Golden Medical Discovery cures conSump-
ton, in its early stages. and all bronchial,
throat. and lung affections; Pleasant Pur-
gative Pellets are the most valuable laXa-
tive aud cathartic.

VALUABLE LANDs.-The men who To-
Gated on the Swinomish flats a few years
ago, and dykcd their lands, are now among
the wealthiest farmers in this Territory.
The lands are unsurpassed in fertility, and
can be reclaimed by uniting the dykes on
adjoining farms very cheaply. Very often
the first crop will repay the entire expense
af reclaiming the farm. Although the
best of the land has already been taken up.
there are still hundreds of acres open to
settlement, and when the railroad land
reverts to the Government. there will be
thousands more. The expense OF reclaim
ing the land is small in comparison 20 that
of clearing even the most lightly timbered
bottom lands. Dyking and ditching is
done for S3 per rod, or about $1,000 for
lG0 acre farm. However by four farmers
uniting together and building the dyke
around the entire section, the expense
would be reduced one-haf The lands al
ready under cultivation are. We believe.
the most fertile on the Pacific coast. the
yield being simply enormous, while the
soil is inexhaustible and Of unknown
depth. For advantages Of transportation,
again, they stand unTiyalled, the whole
country being intersected by a network
OF small but deep slonghs, nearly all of
which are navigable for river steamers and
sloops. To sum up, it has more advan-
tnges and less drawbacks than any section
OF farming country in the Territory

The GOLD MINES. There seems to he
no new development at the gold mines up
the Snohomish river. Persons continue to
90 there and locate claims, and then re-
turn to prepare for working their claims
There is now no doubt but there is gold in
paying quantities, but the great lack is Of
water. A spring has been found, and u
few miners are using the water flom it to
wash ont the gold. We learn that there
is no other water except from the river,
which is considera bly, lower than the bar
in which the gold is found. There is said
to be a axe q short distance back which is
of sufficient elevation to furnish good
head and plenty of water tor the entire
year; but ditch. which can be chraply
constructed, will be necessary to connect
the lake with the mines. The samples of
gold are very coarse, and give evidence of
arge pay III the immediate neighbOrhood.
SO soon rs water is brought to the mines
there is no doubt but they will pay rs vel |

TAXING THE NORTHERN PACIFIC.

1t seems that the question OF taxing the
Northern Pacific Railroad came up in the
democratic convention at Vancouver, and
after u lengthy discussion, the advocates of
the measure were chobcd down. The con-
vcntion, having declared in its platform
that the party belonged body and brpeches
to the Northern Pacific Railroad Company
could not very well go back and advocate
taxing of the road. For policy sake and
votes. they adopted the railroad extension
plank il. the platform, and consequently
all the honest democrats who wanted to
tax the road had to be choked off. While
the leaders Of the party made this move
ment for political advantage, the masses
OF the democratic party, lis well as repub-
licans, do not santion letting the Northern
Pacific, or any other corporation. out of
paying their just proportion OF taxes.
There is no justice in taxing the loboring
classes and not taxing corporations. Adj
vOcates of the railroad beg that taxes be
not collected and subsidies not taken away,
because the company is not able to finish
its roads and carry on its business without
such support. If it has to grind the means
to carry on its business from the people
OF the country, it had better go to the wall.
a corporation that was granted one the
greatest subsidies known in the world,
aud through mismanagement and unfair
dealing his lost its opportunities so that it
cannot keep its head above wat9r without
taking subsistence from the people, it is not
fit to have an existence. Transcript. Z"
