No Wool Left in the State.

Practically all the wool which re-
manned in this state and Oregon jan
uary l, has been sold, having been pur
chased by eastern dealers and wooden
mills at low prices to hold for the in
crease in prices resulting from the new
tariff The result has been to make
it impossible. for the Tacoma mill to
secure enough wool on which to run.
The mill has accordingly been shut
down until the new crop of wool is
clipped. Manager Carter says that
the purchase of large quantities of
wool has been very general among the
eastern mills. He knows of two mills
in Maine which have laid in wool to
the amount of 100000 each, that
quantity being sufficient to last them
two years.
Since September the Tacoma wool
en- mill has used nearly $4,000 pounds
of wool. 1t is expected to use at least
100000 during the next IL months.
Half of that amount will be purchased
as soon as practicable after the spring
cutting, which will be commenced in
about two weeks. This years output
OF wool for the state is estimated at
100000 pounds.
Preparations are being made at the
mill for big rush of work when oper-
ations are resumed. 1t will be put in
condition for running both night and
day. Repairs to the amount of $4,000
will be made upon the engine, carding
spinning and other machinery. TAX
ing stock at the mill was completed
yesterday, showing manufactured
goods on hand to the value of $4,000
The owners of the mill are happy in
knowledge that prices have advanced
80 per cent since the goods were man.
ufactured. This profit is their reward
for opening the mill during the dull
times and making up a stock while
wool could be bought bottom prices

FOR weeks past the Tacoma papers
have been blowing about a grand "var-
mint hunt" on Fox Island, in which
about fifty sports were to participate,
and the team scoring the most points
were to be dined and given leather
medals. The "drive" came off and the
foxy hunters, after beating the island
all day, killed blue jay, jack rabbit
and dozen mosquitoes, but nary a
coon. Editor Frank Cole, chief smeller
OF scouts, wasn't onto his job, as the
only thing in the cat line he scented
was domestic feline, and it cost the
chef dollar to save his scalp-he has
no hair.

half the size of al egg. We then became
more uneasy and began to doctor. him for

ever, until at the age of twelve years we
had lost all hope of-his recovery. He be-
came so weak he could sit up but a few
minutes ct a time. My wits. saw Hoods
sarsaparilla recommended as great blood

began giving our boy the medicine &C.

LOOKS WORSE FOR TEEN.
Italians Charged With the North End
Shooting Identified.

a man and u woman whose names
the police prefer to Eeep secret were
brought separately to the Central po-
lice station yesterday afternoon to
identify the three Italians, one of whom
is supposed TO have shot William FiCh-
ter, ON Providence road Sunday night
The woman win be an important Wit
ness if Fichter's wound proves fatal
as she was quite positive that the
prisoners are the three men who stood
within a rod OF the scene of the shoot
ing a half minute before the shots We're
fired. The men have all along insisted
they were not in the Immediate viciu-
ity before FIGHTER was shot and that
they did not hear the reports of the
revolver.
Nothing was gained by Tho mans
attempt at Identification as he was
only of the opinion that the prisoners
resembled three men he had seen in
the locality. He was not at all positive
in his declaration.
The trio We're handcuffed together
and taken TO the county Jail during
the afternoon.
FIGHTERS condition remains unchang-
ed. He was conscious at only brief in
terval5 yesterday and failed to recog-
nize his brother who had been sum-
moned from Hazleton. There seems
little or no doubt now that his skull
sustained a slight fracture.

fakirs who for the last five years have
been operating i'm Schuylllill, Montour,
Luzerne, Dauphin and Columbia coun-

cr cities by establishing false credit,
securing goods ana never settling for
them. In the gang We're these two,
John II. Schmtt, Charles Narowsky.
Abe Yarrowsky and others who have
not been apprehended.
Their scheme was to buy small lot
of goods from some wei known house
ana pay the bin promptly. Then, by
using the credit established at this
house they would write to others and
secure shipments on time Ten days
was all they asked for, but they would
take sixty days or one day. it was all
the same to them, as they never in
tended to pay and didn't care a rap as
long as the goods We're forthcoming
When creditors commenced to press
them closely they would load up their
goods on wagons and under cover of
night steal away to some other town,
