A Vinegar Trust was formed some
months ago. 1t was founded in
false pretenses and fraud. It's man
ayers increased the price of vinegar
at wholesale and persuaded retail
grocers everywhere to fill up with
vinegar at the increased price, per-
suading them that there would soon
be farther heavy advance, and that
they could double their money by
increasing the cost to consumers.
\ fortnight or so ago the retail
grocers saw their mistake. The
idea of cornering the vinegar of the
country was preposterous. Every
apple orchard and cider mill, every
gallon of distillery or brewery slops,
Of stale beer and of wine that had
LOST its bead, even the cold tea of
the kitchen-every fluid that would
ferment and sour, terminating
acetic acid-was in competition with
the Vinegar Trust. The attempt to
corner such a product was as absurd
as would be an attempt to corner
air or sunshine. The Vinegar Trust
is no more.
The history of every trust shows
the fallacy of the free-trade claim
that the tariff causes or promotes
such combinations. The sugar, cop
per, tin, salt and other trusts were
internatio al in their character, with
branches alike in free-trade England

4 Queer Bit Of History.

During the war of 1912 a Montauk
cattle-dealer gained signal victory
over the English fleet then lying 10
Gardeners Bay, under the command
of Admiral Hardy. Montauk was then
a commons for the towns of East and
Southampton. These townspeope
pastured 1000 or 1900 head of cattle
on Montauk during tue summer. These
cattle were in charge of three keep
ers VINO lived about three miles apart
| think the name of the keeper ia
question was Paine, He conquered
the English fleet with canoe, raw.
hide, and crew of one Indian. 1t
came thus about:
The English had come ashore in
their boats aud killed one of the cattle
in his charge They wanted fresh
beef and they got it. Mr.. Paine did
not propose that his herds should be
thus ravaged with impunity. He
armed himself with a rawhide. Next
he found an Indian. He impressed the
Indian with his rawhide and forced
him to paddle off to the Admirats ship.
Mr. Paine was hailed from the ship
and asked what he wanted. lie said
that he wanted to come IN board, He
was allowed TO come on board.
He was then asked what lie wanted.
He wanted to see the Admiral What
did he want to see the Admiral for2
To be paid for one of the cattle in his
care which had been slain by the Adj
miral's people What was he going to
do about it in case he was not paid,
they inquired? Well, he was going to
take it out of the English fleet What
was he going to take tout with? With
his rawhide!
The Admiral was informed that a
Yankee was on board threatening to
lick the feet with an armament ofone
canoe, one Indian, and rawhide. The
Admiral was not alarmed, but he was
amused and interested He came on
deck in his cooked hat and epaulets

titled British tar of eighty-odd years
ago.
The Admiral aud Mr. Paine con-
fronted each other Mr.. Paine did not
back down. He repeated his demand
and his threat.
We'll" said the Admiral, "you are
the bravest Yankee I've seen yet
He ordered him to be paid. Mr.
Paine received the value of the slam
beast in hard, shining, yellow British
gold. Then, with his force he rowed
ashore, having gained Il brave bu'

teryiew that it would be party
treachery for Republican congress
man to attack ON the floor of the
House the present civil service law.
Said a Republican representative:
"Mr. Roosevelt makes the mistake
Of thinking that those who oppose
the present law are opposed To re-
form in the civil service. The
great majority Of those who are
agitating the repeal of the present
law are doing it because they have
become satisfied that no reform has
been or is likely 10 be effected By it.
These men are in line with the best
sentiment of the Republican party
in desiring true reform in our civil
service but they can see no good in
continuing the present cumbersome
and expensive law. Progress has
ever been synonymous with the
methods of the Republican party,
and in my opinion progress toward
better civil service demands the
repeal of the present law. | was a
working Republican before Mr..
Roosevelt ever cast vote, and
think the Republicans in Congress
can decide this question without
any advice from either Of the gen
tlemen who are drawing $1,000 q
year as Commissioners under this
law"
Secretary Window has asked for
and received the resignation of J.
X. Kimball, Director of the Mint,
and Col. Switzler, Commissioner Of
Statistics. Mr.. K. o. Leech, who
has been in the Office for number
of years, and who is now acting
Director of the mint, will assume
that office October Is, when Mr.
Kimballs resignation takes effect.
The presence in Washington of Mr..
Joseph Nimmo, whom Mr.. Switzler
succeeded early in the Cleveland
administration, makes it generally
believed that he is to take his old
place.
Every Congressman who favors
some other city as the place for hold
ing the American Exposition in 1892
has Washington for a second choice,
which makes it certain that Wash
ington will be selected.

TO MONTANA, OREGON AND
WASHINGTON.

If you are going west bear in mind
the following facts: The Northern
Pacific Railroad owns and operates
9S7 miles, or 81 per cent. of the en-
tire railroad mileage of Montana;
spans the territory with its main line
from east to west; is the short line
to Ielenar the only Pullman and
dining car line to Butte, and is the
only line that reaches Miles City,
Billings, Bozeman, Missoula, the
Yellowstone National Park and, in
fact, nine-tenths of the cities and
points of interest in the territory.
The Northern Pacific owns and
operates 62l miles, or % per cert of
the railroad mileage of Washington,
its main line extending from the
Idaho line via Spokane Falls, Cheney,
Sprague, Yakima and Ellensburg,
through the centre of the territory
to Tacoma and Seattle, and from
Tacoma to Portland. No other trans
continental throgh rail line reaches
any portion of Washington territory.
Ten days stop over privileges are
given on Northern Pacific second
class tickets at Spokane Falls and
all points west, thus atfording in
tending settlers On excellent oppor.
tunity to see the entire territory
without mourning the expense Of
paying local fares from point to
point.
The Northern Pacific is the short
est route from st. Paul to Tacoma by
207 miles; to Seattle by III miles,
and TO Portland by 32+ intestine
corresyondingly shorter, varying
from one to two days, according TO
destination. No other line from st.
Paul or Minneapolis runs through
passenger ears of any kind into
Idaho, Oregon or Washington.
In addition to being the only rail
line TO Spokake FuiIs, Tacoma and
Seattle, the Northern Pacific reaches
all the principal points in northern
Minnesota and Dakota, Montana,
Idaho, Oregon and Washington.
Bear in mind that the Northern
Pacific and Shasta line is the famous

Wisconsin at the Head.

In the glory of war, most glory
falls on those troops among whom
the casualties of battle are greatest.
And this is just. While it is not
the fault of "A regiment that it is not
in the thickest of the fray, the reg
imeuts that are given the opportuni-
ty for the hardest lighting are justly
entitled to the highest honor when
their service is marked by a heavy
loss.
Measured by this standard, the
chief regimental glory of the War
of the Rebellion descends on a
Wisconsin regiment-the Second
Wisconsin infantry.
With great care, Lieut..Col. VIM.
f. Fox, of New York, has gathered
the statistics showing the regimen
tai losses in the civil war. The
Second Wisconsin leads all the rest
with record of 1871 per cent. of its
entire enrolment actually killed in
battle. This would represent so per
cent. or more of those actually in
the battles, when we consider how
small a proportion of the full en-
rolIneut are usually engaged. Out
of a total membership (recruits from
time TO time iucluded) of 1908, the

OF the deaths in a single battle,
the First Minnesota shows the high

! Good Medicine Whici Every Family
Should be Provided With.

There is no medicine so often
needed in every household as good
reliable liniment such as Chamber
lain's Pain Balm. Hardly a week
passes but some member of the
family has need of it for some all
ment. A toothaohe or headache may
be cured by it. A touch of rheuma-
tism or neuralgia quoted. The
severe pain of burn or scald
promptly relieved, and the sore
healed in much less time than when
medicine has to be sent for. a
sprain may be promptly treated be-
fore Inflammation sets in, which
insures a cure in about one-third of
the time otherwise required. Cuts
and bruises should receive immed-
late treatment before the parts be-
come swollen, which can only be
done when the Pain Balm is kept
on hand. A sore throat may be
cured before it becomes serious. A
troublesome corn may be removed
by applying 1t twice day for a
week or two. Quinsey and glandular
swellings may be suppressed before
matter has begun to form in them.
A lame back may be cured and
several days of valuable time saved
A pain in the side or chest relieved
without paying a doctor bill. Few
of those who have used Chamber
lains Pain Balm are willing to be
withoutit. For sale by WlIPrideaux.

trees from which the milk is drawn
and is exposed to danger from wild
beasts, as well as to frequent want Of

happens that he spills much of the

forty to fifty of the contained rubber
The new process causes the rubber
contained in the milk to be coagulated
instantaneously, and secures every
