'How do the flies get into the house with screens in all the windows and doors ?" is 8 question asked by hundreds of house wives who are annoyed by the pests. A naturalist who has looked closely into the habits of the fly said ''The swarms of flies that are 20 troublesome during the latter part of the summer and in the fall, hatch out in the house. The screens shut them in instead of keeping them out, and really do more harm than good It is physically impossible to keep every fly out of the house in summer time, but by exer- cising little care thousands of them may be excluded. r
 'Nearly all of the trouble isrcaused by about a dozen sluggish specimens that emerge from their winter retreats on the first warm days of spring. They may be found on the sunny windows of any room not in constant use. They should be killed at enee, as they deposit the eggs from which the millions of summer flies are matched. They are prolific insects, and one old fly is capable of populating 8 whole house with progeny in single summer Instead of killing the first fly of the season, many people make pet of it. It's slug gishness and half-frozen condition excite pity, and it is not unusual for the most careful honsekeeper to feed and warm it out of pure tender-heartedness. A folded towel should be kept handy and the early flies killed as soon as they appear. Then if care is taken to leave no particles of food and sugar scattered around the kitchen and dining room, and to keep all substances on which flies feed covered, there will be no trouble from flies. Some families who take these precautions even dispense with screens in the windows and doors. If the flies come in from outdoors they find noth- ing to live on and seek more congenial quarters. It is best to use screens, how ever, as damp and rainy weather invariably dives them into the house, and they are troublesome until it clear and warm out side" a..- ~
 A young man between 25 and 30 years old, well dressed and of good appearance, has been working forgery trick very suc7 oessfully throughout the state during the past few weeks. His scheme is to go into store and buy present of some kind or other for sister whom he casually men, tions, and pays anywhere from $5 to BIO for it: He then says he wishes to send her some money, but in manner in which her husband cannot get hold of 1t, and so he enlists the merchants attention. The upshot of it is that he asks the merchant CO make out Cuock IOr Ln0 feQuSlGe amount, which he pays for, taking the check made out to the sister in the mer- chants name, and leaves the1store. He then has what he wants; the name of the merchant, his bank deposit, the number of his check, his handwriting, and, what is more, his signature. It is subsequently easy to procure bank check on the bank, which he fills out, and by tracing the name of the merchant has 8 check, the signature of which it would be hard to de- tect the falsity of. Choosing time when business is brisk at the bank he presents the check, and so far has not been detect ed, and the sums, ranging from $1OO to $309, have not been large enough to create suspicion, and he is so much ahead.

A rousing Prohibition County Con-
vention was held IN Champion hall. On
Friday evening, Aug. 24th, for the pur-
pose of nominating Prohibition
county ticket.
There was large number present of
active and energetic prohibitionists.
The interest manifested in the conven-
ton was deep and enthusiastic. Good
speeches were made by nearly every
nominee present, avowing their allegi-
ance to the Prohibition platform, and
severing all connection with the old
parties. After electing ]. L. Hender-
son Chairman and c. +. Allen Sccreta-
ry, the Convention proceeded to adopt
the following resolutions:
Resolred, That all persons avowing
themselves party Prohibitionists, who
endorse the National and Territorial
party platforms and intend to act and
vote with the Prohibition party, are
members Of this Convention.
Resolved, That We do hereby endorse
the Signal, published at Yakima, as
the party sheet for this Territory, and
that We recognize the New York Voice
as our greatest champion, while the
Portland Pacific Express occupies an
honorable second place, and We espe-
cially urge upon our friends the neces-
sity of giving them our hearty support
Resolved, That we condemn the az
ton of the Supreme Court of this Ter
ritory in declaring the woman suffrage
act unconstitutional.
The following nominations were
then made: For Representative, J. l..
Henderson; Sheriff, c. w. Borden;
Treasurer, F. NJ. Canaday; Auditor,
X. F. Whitman; Probate Judge, Thos.
Rutlsdge; School Superintendent,

ers. First District, w. b. Hannah /;

The Effect Of Free Wool.

The absurdity of the argument that
free wool means decrease OF the out
put Of factories and low wages TO TIE
operatives Is arparen. rhen tact: are
plainly stated American wool Is only
suited for the lower grades oi cloth
goods and to make the finer casslmeres
more OF less OF the higher grades oil
foreign woods are requisite. A pro
hibitory tariff renders absolutely nm
possible the production OF these iabrics
by American mills and just in that
PROMOTION reduces the amount OF tao
tory labor. and ii the cloth is made up
into clothing before importation, as 1t
generally is, the "pauper labor OF
Europe is to that extent substituted
for our own industry.
But consider the effect on the lower
grades OF wool. A tariff duty may IN
crease the rate Of wool few cents,
but the probability is it will not, ioI
the consumption OF any produce is al
ways regulated 10y the price. The
farmer or mechanic may, on Il pinch
do without an overcoat ii the price ex
ceeds a given amount, the family may
manage to sleep under Il few les
blankets if the alternative Is presented
CT =" cutting close corners" or going IL
debt, and Just to that amount Is laho
deprived OF its Just dues. The wool
grower himself Oftentimcs pays NOR
than his enhanced profits in the hid
den tax he pays on necessities CT lit
to protect that which needs no proteC
: tive-capital.
Wool is not exactly the article tn
protectionist would choose to max
converts OF thinking men; nor is an
other article placed on the free lis
and advocated by Republicans in an
: out of Congress, until the necessity {
forcing an issue became apparent q
the Presidential year came on. Othe
, goods are rated in the Mills bill full
as high as have ever been advocate
by Republican platforms or by til
masses of the party, until party nece
sity demanded some means of throw
ing dust to obscure the eyes of the pull
lie while the old political hacks mad
a steady endeavor to regain their 10.
places at the public crib. 1t is a pit
that the people should be compelle
! to endure, every four years, such sopl
, istry, to subserve the selfish objects {
aspiring politicians.
