A correspondent writing from Sill.
colt, ". T., to the Asotin Sentinel
says: III. Schram, who is herding for
Fuller e. Walker, made a discovery
that will give sufficient food for lots Of
hard study. On the dividing ridge be-
tween the gulches Powaka and Garner
he found the broken fragments of n
large petrifed tree. The tree was
about three feet through and the frag-
ments are beautiful specimens of
petrifaction. They vary in size from 4
minute particle up to pieces weighing
200 pounds. One piece, knot, can be
seen distinctly; also the pitch can be
seen on the knot. One piece was de-
cayed before being petrified and is
very natural; also chunk of yellow
clay. which is found around the roots
Of trees. Is here exposed and petrified.

The only hope for this country in the
event of the success of the Democratic
party upon their free-trade platform
this fall would be that they would treat
this platform as they did that upon
which they got into power That was
used as is the platform Of q car to get
in by. Having gotten in they have
strictly observed the usual caution, mo
standing upon the platform. 1t will
be observed, however, that every car
has two platforms Qike the Democrats)
-one to go in, and the other to go out
This lostis the one they will go out on.

Inherited
 Diseases.

In the realm of disease the facts of iu- heritance are most numerous and are daily accommodating. Here, alas, they become ter. Ktble, fateful and overwhelming. No fact of nature Is more pregnant with awful mean ing than the fact of the inheritance of disease. It meets the physician on his daily rounds, paralyxing his art and filling him with dismay. The legend of the ancient Greeks pictures the Furies as pursuing families from generation to generation, rendering them despIate. The Furies stin ply their work of terror and death, but they are not now clothed in the garb Of superstt- tion, but appear in the more inteIligible but no less awful form of hereditary disease.
 Modern science. which has illuminated 50 many dark corners of nature, has shed a new light on the ominous words of the Scriptures, "The sins of the fathers shall be visited upon the children unto the third and fourth generation" Instances of hereditary disease abound. Fifty per cent. ofrcases of consumption, that fearful destroyer of fami- lies. of cancer and scrofula ryA in families through inheritance. Insap&ty is hereditary fin q marked degree, bAts fortdhately, like many other hereditary diseases. tends to wear itself out, the stock becoming extinct. A distinguished scientist truly says: "No organ or texture of the body is exempt from the chance of being the subject of hereditary disease" Probably more chronic diseases, which permanently modify the structure and functions of the body, are more or less liable to be inherited. The important and far-reaching practical deductions from such facts-anecting @ powerfully the happiness of individuals and families and the collective welfare Of the nstion-6re obvious to reflec- ting minds, and the best means for prevent. ing or curing these diseases is a subject of intense interest to all. Fortunately nature has provided . remedy, which experience has attested as infallible. and the remedy Is the world famous Swift's Specific a pure vegetable compoEnd-nature's antidote for all blood poisonS. To the afflicted it is a blessing of inestimGbIe value. An interest Ing treatise on Blood and Skin Diseases'' will be mailed ire by addressing

iness in a manner to retain your confidence and merit increased patronage.
 Six days in the week, ffty-two weeks in the year, you will find 95 per cent. of the stock in our stores marked 10 to 15 per cent. lower than in any other stores in the cities where we are doing business, and it is of common occurrence for us to offer big lines of goods 20 to 50 per cent below the prices asked elsewhere.
 What has been the result of doing business on this low-price, small profit basis' We have gone on from year to year increasing our sales and building up our business, until to-day we have the greatest clothing business in this country We make no exceptions. Naumberg, Kraus, Lauer 6 Co. are said to do the largest business in New York, be- ing credited with g, 500, ,0O0 annually. w. P. Kellogg & Co.,, Chicago, are very large manufacturers, and may possibly exceed these figures somewhat For the six months ending December 31, 1887. are sales in all our stores, wholesale and retail, amounted to $1, ,762, ,4S3.27 For the six months end- ing on the 30th of the present month they will be about the same, or in round figures s, SOC, ,o00.00 annually. That's what low prices have done for us, and if any or all of our competitors think they have the nerve and power to boost our prices to 8 level with theirs they have our consent to try.

VIEWPOINTS MURDER CASE.

The Shooting of Farmer Peck-The Ar rest Of StoG Searching for Proofs to Convict Him.
 Newtown's shocking tragedy continues to be the exciting topic in that partly farming and partly manufacturing tow Andrew J.
 Peck a wealthy farmer aged 55, ,wss shot dead by some person on Friday morning. Re
 arose early in the morning and went to the
 door. He stepped to the gate when the as-
 sassiD, concealed behind the fence on the op-
 posite side of the road, fired charge of
 buckshot, many of which entered his body
 in the region of the heart He fell to the
 ground exclaiming, "Allie, Allie, am shot,
 Rudolph did this," and in about five min-
 utes he was dead. Alice Lockwood. the
 woman of the house, hurried to the nearest
 neighbors, two miles distant, and told the
 story. It was doubted at first and it was
 not until the men folks returned at night did
 anyone go near the place where the murder
 was committed. Buckshot were in plenty in the picket fence in front of the house.
 Suspicion points strongly to Rudolph Stoffel German, who had quarrel with Peck the day before the murder. Peck has long been known in Newtown as @ shrewd farmer, with whom but few respectable people asso. eiated. He always had one or two women in the house, and they passed as his house. keeper or his wife, though he was unmar- ried.
