THIS AND THAT.

Most OF the Indians on the Col
vile reservation are gathering at
Okanogan river opposite Alma,
Wash, and will soon commence a
weeks celebration, or, in other
words, "death feast" over two In
dians of influence who were burned
to death some time ago. Chief
Moses and other celebrities of his
tribe will be present to assist in
the ceremonies which are to be of
a superstitious nature, Bargecues
and Indian singing will be indulg-
ed in, and a wild, weird sort of
''ghost dance" held.
A very important ruling was
made in the circuit court to-day by
Judge Bradshaw, in the case of L.
L. Brannervs T, A, Ward, which
will effect the validity of every
judgment rendered by default in
Justices courts. 1t seems that the
summons, as now used, is not in
satisfactory form, and where there
is no personal appearance of the
defendant, the court does not ac-
quire jurisdiction, under his de-
fective instrument. The defend
ant must cited to appear in a legal
manner, or there can be no process
by which his goods and chattels
can be disposed of to satisfy credi-
tors.
Justice Maui once address
ed a phenominon of innocence as
follows; Prisoner at the bar, your
counsel thinks you innocent; the
counsel for your prosecution thinks
you innocent, think you snno-
cent. But q jury Of your own
countrymen, in exercise of such
common sense as they possess,
which does not seem to be much,
have found you guilty and it re.
mains that / should pass upon you
the sentence of law. That sem
tence is, that you keep in impris-
onment for one day; and that day
was yesterday you may now go
about your business"
Seattle Telegraph: One day
last week six rolling mills, eight
woolen mills and one iron mine
resumed business after being closed
for periods from four to twelve
months. The official returns of
railway earnings for November
show q very considerable gain.
These are good signs. AS we have
previously said in speaking of the
business revival, it was unreason-
able to expect the recovery from
the panic of last summer to be
rapid, The New York Post says:
"The indications are that the re-
storation will be more rapid than
any former experience after dis
turbance of similar magnitude"
This was the view of the case
which The Telegraph presented
when discussing the matter some
months ago. 1t is said then that
owing to the close way in which
all localities are interviewer, busi-
ness embarrassments extend more
raidly and become more widely
reaching, but at the same time
the recovery void be more rapid.
We are glad to see this view in
dorsed by so conservative an au-
thorlty as oar New York contem-
porary.

Exclusive corn feeding is the cause of
losses of hogs than any other
thing. 1t is because corn is perhaps
one of the hardest grains to digest un-
less ground and cooked. Even then it
is too rich, and liable to be overeaten,
thus causing Indigestion. 1t is better
to feed growing pigs milk with a mix
