Frank Taylor. The Indians on the
other hand, show that they bought all
the rights Frank Taylor claimed to
have for 1000 barrels of salmon, some
500 of which they had paid, and the
balance of which they repeatedly ten
dered. They claim that he now repudi-
ates the sale and they are mad. There
is great discomfort among them and
they have made up their minds to fish
at the rapids anyway. 1t is claimed
that Taylor has a number of men en-
ployed to prevent their occupying the
land.

The attorneys of .Messrs. Ivison,
Brakeman & Co. have seat the follow
ing circular the County School Super
intendents of the Territory, and the
document explains itself:
TACOMA, w. T., 1889.
We address you in the matter of the
new school books adopted by the Ter
ritorial Board at their last meeting in
July. As attorneys for Messrs. Ivison,
Brakeman & Co., and Mesrs. Tanitor
Bros, we argued the case recently de-
cided by Chief Justice Hanford at
Olympia. The points to which we
specially attached Importance were, as
to the legality of the August meeting,
and the validity of its action in the
item of resembling the adoption ofnew
books and the contract made with our
clients in pursuance of such adoption.
At the meeting in August three men,
bers attempted to hold q session of the
Board and to rescind the action in
July. Our chief desire in the appli-
cation before Judge Hanford was to
have an expression from this able and
distinguished judge, as to the validity OF
the August meeting, because, if the
holding were with US then the July &C
ton was necessarily left as the only
legal action of the Board on textbook
adoption.
We ask you to carefully read the &C.
companying opinion and thereabout
We say: The Court has judicially de-
termined in a proceeding properly
raising the question as to the legality
of the attempted August meeting, that
the three members had absolutely no
authority to meet as a board, and that
their proceedings were and are wholly
void. This of course deprives their
circular of the 9th OF August last of
all authority as a direction to you of
the Boards action, and the whole mat
ter stands as if there had been no such
attempt on their part to invalidate
the lawful and proper adoption made
in July.
We are confident, therefore, that by
laying fully before you the opinion OF
the Chief Justice, you will see at once
the true status of the case, and that
you will take the proper steps to have
introduced the books referred to in the
circular of date the l7th of July. 1889.
We do not wish to put our clients or
the county officers to needless worry
and expense, and therefore to avoid
litigation bring all the facts before
yor, hoping thereby to avoid the ne
cessity of resort to the courts.

COLUMBIA, s. c., Oct. 20 Some
very curious facts in connection with
the recent lynching Of young Rob
ert Berrier for the murder Of his
mother-in-law near Lexington. N. @.
have just. come to light. A party
who Witnessed the hanging says
Berrier was taken from the Jail at
1880 and Immediately carried to the
outskirts of the town under large
oak tree. Here the mob stopped
and asked the murderer il he was
ready to die. Berrier said he would
be if he would meet his wife and
babe in heaven. The mob then in
formed him that he would have
time to prepare for death.
About this time drummer who
was in town came upon the scene
and asked to be allowed to pray
with the condemned man. His re-
quest was granted and he knelt down
by the side of Berrier and prayed
very fervently that God would save
his soul. During the prayer many
hearty aAmens" and such responses
as 'Lord grant it,n"Jesus receive
his spirit" &C., went up from the
mob. A few minutes before midnight
Berrier expressed his willingness to
die. He was then placed on horse
with rope around his neck, and
then as On appropriate hymn was
raised the horse was led from under
him and the body left dangling in
the air.

l. Never put anything into the ear
for the relief of the toothache.
y. Never wear cotton in the ears il
they are discharging pus.
8. Never applay poultice to the
inside of the canal of the ear.
4. Never drop anything into the
ear unless it has previously been
warmed.
5. Never use anything but q
syringe and warm water for clean
ing the ears from pus.
6. Never strike or box q child's
ears; this has been known to rup-
ture the drum-head and cause incura-
BILE deafness.
I. Never wet the hair, If you have
any tendency to deafness wear an
oiled-silk cap when bathing, and re-
frain from diving.
s. Never scratch the ears with any
thing but the finger Il they itch. Do
not use the head Of . pin, hairpins,
pencil tips Or anything of that ma
ture.
9. Never let the feet become cold
and damp, or sit with the back to-
ward window, as these tend to ag-
gravatc any existing hardness of
hearing.
10. Never put milk, fat, or any
oily substance into the ear for the re-
lief of pain, for they soon become
rancid and tend to incite infama-
lion. Simple warm water will an
swer the purpose better than any
thing else.
III. Never be alarmed if living
insect enters the ear. Pouring warm
water into the canal will drown it,
when it will generally come to the
surface, and can be easily removed
by the fingers. A few puffs of smoke
blown into the ear will Supply the
insect.
10. Never meddle with the ear If
foreign body, such as bead, but
ton or seed, enters it; leave it abso.
lutely alone, but have a physician
attend to it. More damage has been
done by injudicious attempts at the
extraction of foreign body than
could ever come from its presence in
the ear.-Health and Home.

$500, or Cure Your oatarrh.

For long series of years the
manufacturers of DR.. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy, who are thoroughly respon-
sible, financially, as one can easily
ascertain by proper enquiry, have
offered, through nearly every news
paper in the land, standing reward
of $500 for case of nasal catarrh,
no matter how bad, or how long
standing, which they cannot cure.
The Remedy is sold by all druggists
at only so cents. 1t is mild, sooth-
ing, cleansing, deodorizing, antisep-
tic and healing.

Making Good Butter.

Wisconsin, for instance, produces
annually about 50,0OO,00O pounds
of butter. No more than six or
eight million pounds can be classed
as first-class, the balance goes into
the general category of ordinary
farm butter. What is the matter
with it2 The milk as 1t came from
the cow was as rule all right.
Clearly, then, it is the Judgment
that handled that milk after it left
the cow, that made the butter and
then sold it, that is to blame for the
wretched result. What is the reason
that these farmers and their wives
are content to go along year after
year doing such Improbable work ?
Simply lack of good dairy judg-
ment, that is all. In the first place
a vast majority have no judgment OF
what constitutes real fine market
butter. A good way to get that
judgment would be to send to Chi
cago or some other good butter
market, and buy a small package of
gilt-edge butter, such as brings the
highest market price, and set to
work to seriously study the color,
style of package, grain and texture,
and above all the flavor. There is
just where the pinch comes. The
taste of the farmer or his wife may
be suited with their own butter, but
the market taste is not. A little
study like this, at small cost, will
correct lifetime Of erroneous no
tions.-Hoards DaSryman.
