decree to show af1irmatively not mere
ly that some error was committed in the
trial court, but also that if that error
had not been committed the result must
necessarily have been different.
SIN criminal cases there should be no
appeal. I say it with reluctance, but
the truth is that you can trust a jury
to do justice to the accused with more
safety than you can an appellate court
to secure protection to the public by the
speedy punishment of criminal. To
guard against any possible wrong to
an accused, board of review and par
dons might be created, with power to
set aside conviction or reduce the pun
ishment, if on the full record it appears
not that technical error has been COM
mitted, but that the defendant is not
guilty or has been excessively pun
ished."
The Chicago Chronicle says: ''There
is more sound reform doctrine in these
two short paragraphs from Justice
Brewers address than in yards of av-
erage reform discourse. If the meas
ures recommended were adopted some
very desirable things would happen"
The indianapolis Journal says: 1.-THE
American Bar association did not fully
indorse the address of Justice Brewer,
in which he criticised the delay and un-
certainty in the administration of JUS
tice, but the comments and approval of
many newspapers indicate that the peo-
pie are in full accord with Justice
Brewer and that they regard the evils
which he pointed out as very grave
ones"

The spiders SPINNING Machine.

The "spineret," or web machine of
the common garden spider, is an object
worthy of the careful study of every
owner of q microscope. 1t consists of
four united masses, each pierced by q
multitude of holes, the openings being
imperceptible to the naked eye. These
several holes each permit the passage
of single thread. Some idea of the
infnitesimal fneness of these threads
may be gained when 1t is known that
the spiders thread, as we see 1t, is made
up of upwards of 1000 minute webs,
1000 from each of the four spineret
masses. These 1000 separate threads
unite at the main opening Of the spin
eret, making the single fllament from
which the spider spins its web.

Century.
tgrom the Cuyuca Co., ". ", Independently
Hearing through Messrs. Allen & Burch.
druggists of Niles, that Mr.. Silas z. Pen.
nell, respected citizen Of that town had
been cured ola bad case of sciatic rheuma-
tism by the use of DIR. Williams PINK Pills
for Pale People, the editor of the Cayugs
County Independent determined to know
the truth of the matter and went out ia
Niles. Mr.. Pennell is q farmer and has 4
neat and comfortable home near Niles. We
asked Mr.. Pennell if it was true the. ne mad
been cured of q bad case of rheumatism by
DR.. Williams Pink Pills. He said that
saree years ago in August 1891, he was
seized with severe pains in the hip, just
where the sciatic nerve is, which gradually
ran down his leg making life q misery to
MIN but not preventing him from doing
some work on the farm. Soon after he was
loading hay when he slipped off the load
and hit his hip ON the wheel After this
ne was worse, suffering great agony, and
for some time was unable to do any work
He took such medicines as his physician
prescribed and improved somewhat 90 that
he could help some around the farm again.
About Thanksgiving time he was helping to
put away some barrels of cider which he had
made, when he strained himself and again
became helpless. He then tried another
physician who felt confident of curing him
by the use Of the electric battery and medi.
cines which he prescribed. But failure was
the result, he got no better, and another
physician was tried and treated him for
some time. By this>tim his whole body
was affected. Sharp pains would start in
his hand or foot, run up one side of his
body, over his shoulders and then down the
other side and then pass off for short time
These pains would return regularly, affect
Ing his whole body, and nothing seemed to
relieve him and he began to despair of ever
being well. In the spring of 1892 relative
IN another county read of case very SINH
lar to Mr.. Pennell's, which had been cured
by Pink Pills, and sent the article to him,
asking if il did not suit his case. 1t was
very similar and he determined to try them.
He commenced taking Pink Pills and soon
felt better, the pains became less violent
with longer intervals between them. He
felt encouraged and persevered in their use
and soon became able to work on the farm, |
and in April or May he felt so free from
pain that he considered himself we'll man
again. He says he has probably taken 20
boxes and able to do as good days work as
any other man, and we can say that he
looks like hale and hearty man who had
never known sickness.

elements necessary to give new life and rich.

Valuable Reforms Suggested by Supreme

At the recent meeting of the Ameri-

the United States supreme court, deliy-
cred an address advocating reforms in
judicial procedure. He said:
shorten the time of process. Cur
tail the right of continuances. When
once a case has been commenced, deny
to every other court the right to inter
fere or take jurisdiction of any matter
that can be brought by either party
into the pending litigation. Limit the
right of review. Terminate all review
in one appellate court. Reverse the
rule of decision in appellate courts, and
instead of assuming that injury was
done, If error is shown, require the
party complaining of a Judgment or

dition into which Weston has SUBJ
sided:
Take little Incidence and add
considerable more; put in three

Stir in enough jealousy, spite and
envy to suit the taste, and you
have bowl of soup that Weston is
in at present. Some may think
that the extract Of mossback is nee
essary to complete tho dish, but we
have no mossbacks here. They
have passed beyond the stage Of
decay and reach condition Of per-
feet indifference, almost, as to
whether they live or merely exist.

Great Northern Rumors.

Great Northern rumors are again
floating in the air in correction
with President Jim Hills attempt
at floating $10,000,000 bonds in
Europe. 1t is alleged that Hill is
letting some big contracts for ties
and trying to contract for consid-
cradle real estate within the city Of
Tacoma. Taken in connection with
the fact that it would be possible
ut this time to construct the line Of
the Great Northern sonthward from
Seattle to that city and Portland
with great deal less expense at
the present time, when labor and
material are cheaper than ever be-
fore, and 'tis to be hoped ever to be
again, the inference is drawn that
the astute Mr.. Hill is going to rem
edy one Of the greatest defects Of
his great transcontinental line, by
pushing his western extension TO
the point where large percentage
Of the freighting business Of the
Puget Sound country is done. We
sincerely hope SO.

ami it is altogether probable that
the body will leave the post very
shortly for the Umatila reserva-

occasion for this is caused by the
trouble among the Indians at the
latter place, in consequence of the
arrest Of two Of their prominent
chiefs. The men are all prepared
and will proceed under heavy

Information that May Be Of Interest to
Farmers.

Farmers.
A gentleman Of Dayton, Wash,
who is in the grain business ans
wers many inquiries that have been
made to him by farmers in East
ern Oregon and Washington, BY
circulating a circular letter, issued
from the Agricultural college at
Pullman, Wash. Its full text is
as follows, from the pen Of Prof
Bryan, of the college:
First--The yield will average
from II to Is bushels per acre. II
runs occasionally as high as 20 and
even 25 bushels, but IL to Is bush
els would correspond to 80 to 80
bushels of wheat.
Second-The soil should be clean
Any good black wheat soil would
do if clean, but it is better that it
should be new soil.
Third-Sow as early in the spr.
ing as the soil is warm and mellow
with broadcast seeder Harrow
and after it comes roll. Sow about
one-half bushel of seed to the acre
Fourth-The plowing should be
about the same depth as for wheat.
Say six or eight inches. Sum-
mer fallow or fall plowed land is
best If free from weeds and wild
oats.
Fifth-Flax exhausts the land
more rapidly than some other crops
and it is not worth while to SOW on
poor land.
Sixth-Harvest with binder
taking off the binder attachment
and rigging a dropper attachment
that will let it fall in bundels
When dry haul it to the thresher OF
stack.
Seventh--Threshing cost 10 cts.
per bushel in the Palouse country
The ordinary thresher is used.
Eighth-The straw is excellen
feed for stock, but some think it Ii
injurious to mares with foal anC
cows with calf. / am not prepared
TO say whether it is or not.
Ninth-The average price is $1.O(
per bushel one year with another
Next years crop can now be con
tracted for $100 per bushel. I
it can be sold to your nearest graiI
/ dealer.
Tenth-Seed will cost you likely
$1.25 cents per bushel. It can b,
obtained from almost any reput
able grain dealer in the Palous'
country. / suggest the name o.
Chambers, Price & Co. of Pullman
Dealers at Johnsons, Cotton, and
other places can obtain it for you
Eleventh--The straw of the flaa
raised here does not seem to prom
ise we'll for ton, and the fibre fake,
are said not to do well here. Som,
have sold their straw at $500 pei
ton for upho.stering purposes.
Twelfth--It is not we'll to gc
''plunging' into flax or anything
else. It is a profitable crop now al
compared with wheat, but | RECON-
mend THAT a moderate crop Of this
be raised and other things also.

Perhaps you would not think
so, but very large proportion of
disease in New York comes from
carelessness about catching cold"
says DR.. Syrus Edison. 1T is such
simple thing and dso common that
very few people, unless it is a case
of pneumonia, pay any attention to
a cold. New York is one of the
healthiest place on the Atlantic
Coast and yet there are great
cases of catarrh and consumption
which have their origen in this ne
glect of the simple precaution of
every day life. The most sensible
advice is, when you have one get
rid oft as soon as possible. BY
all means do not neglect it," DR..
Edison does not tell you how to cure
a cold but he will. Take Chamb-
erlain's Cough Remedy. It will
relieve the lungs, aid expectora-
tion, open the secretions and soon
