About Pepper.

cit has always amused me-" re-
marked botanical expert, ito hear
people talking of their preference for
black pepper over white, and the vari-
GUS explanations they give for the same.
Little do they know that both black and
white pepper grow upon the same
shrub. Over the pepper seed grows
black covering. The seed itself is
white, or nearly SO. To make black
pepper the seed and its external cover
ing are ground up, while the white pep
per is the seed alone ground up. White
pepper is milder than black, the greater
part Of the pungency being in the cover
ing. A pepper made Of the coverings
alone would be such, to use a slang
term, hot stuff that it would burn the
mouth. The black covering of the pep
per seed contains the oil. Chicago

Paine's celery compound has never
yet failed to cure.
Where all other medical treatment
has failed to relieve Paine's celery COM
pound has succeeded time and time
again.
John w. Boyd, of Mishawaka, Ind,
says of his own case:
Last winter was taken down with
a very severe attack of nervous and
muscular rheumatism, SO bad that |
could not lie down, sit up, or stand,
without the most excruciating pain. l
was all the time under the care Of two
of the best physicians of the place, but
I did not improve. | took different
rheumatic cures and used an electric
battery half hour each day for ten
days, without any relief.
Finally I concluded to try Paine's
celery compound, and to my surprise af-
ter using onehalf of bottle I was able to
get out and vote on election day, and
before I used the whole bottle I went to
work, and have worked every day since.

Like An Old Clock.
SET BACK TWENTY YEARS.

Dr.. Williams tho Instrument
From tho Republican, Fresno, Cal.
A case reported from Fresno county is
that of well-known former resident of
Kingsburg, though now residing at
Selma.
Mr.. J. M. Purves is an old gentle
man of 70, who, during his long resi-
dence in Kingsburg, was beloved alike
by young and old, and he is equally en-
deared to the people of his new home.
It was about July Is, 1896, that a
reporter of the Republican met Mr..
Purves, and was astonished to see such
improvement in his appearance. He
looked ten years younger and much.
stouter than when he moved away from,
Kingsburg for the benefit of his health,
and he was congratulated on his i'm:
proved appearance.
81 was all run down when moved
away" Mr.. Purves said; something
like an old clock that is worn out, but
I have undergone such repairs as I
think will keep me in running order
for many years to come if no accident
occurs"
"What was the agent that wrought
the change, Mr.. Purves," the reporter
asked. "Was it Pink Pills? they seem
to be doing all the healing in Fresno
county"
"Pink Pills are the very things that
have built me up" Mr.. Purves an
swered. Il happened to read one of
the advertisements of their healing
qualities, and then read several more,
and somehow there was something in
the way the testimonials read that as
sured me they were true. One in the
San Francisco Examiner especially i'm
pressed me, and sent at once and
bought some of the pills. took them
as directed, and do not think need
tell you what they have done for me.
I am quite recovered and set back in
the journey of life at least twenty years.

taken them than for long, long time
before. Indeed I may say since long
before you were born.

Representative Fritz, Of Snohomish
county, Saturday morning, introduced
two bills in the lower house, which he
believes, will be enacted into laws.
One is to regulate sleeping car COM

pied; and that there shall be provided
a compartment for the use of those
who have purchased seats or berths,
which compartment shall contain not
less than six seats, in which there
shall be placed no berth, nor bed nor
other accommodation for sleeping
whatsoever, and which shall not be

tions. The company violating any pro-
vision of the act is liable to fine OF
500, one-half thereof to go to the per-
son bringing suit or action, and one

Punishment of Witnesses.

The judiciary committee introduced
a bill in the house providing for the
punishment of recalcitrant witnesses
before committees appointed by the
legislature. The bill was placed on
final passage and passed by vote OF "a

to supplement the bill now under con-
sideration for the creation of "Lexow"
committee.
Of the numerous amendments offered
to the Canutt railroad bill, only two
passed the house. Jory's amendment,
to fix rate of $3.50 ton on hops in
bales, watermelons, peaches, pears and
wool, passed after watermelons, peaches
and pears were stricken out. That
part of the bill appropriating $40, 900
for attorney hire, in cases of appeal by
railroad companies to the courts, was
reduced to S., OO0.

RATE REDUCTION BILL PASSED
Provides for Q Fifteen Per Cent Cut
Below Rates That Wore In Ell
feet January 2, 1897.

There is no longer any doubt of the
spirit of the house as to railroad rate
reductions in the state of Washington.
After the debate on the railroad COM
mittee's freight bill, known as house
bill No. Ait, which was substituted for
Canutt's bill, a recommendation by the
committee of the whole was made Fri
day in the house, by which the carry
ing of merchandise in carload lots will
be 10 per cent less than the rates
charged by the Northern Pacific Rail
way Company, January 2, 1897. The
rates provided for by the bill are:
For carrying agricultural products,
So. so ton for $50 miles or over; So. 30
for 800 miles; $500 for $50 miles;
So for 900 miles; 81. s5 for $50 miles;
$1.S5 for 100 miles; $1.25 for 30 miles.
and 80 cents for 10 miles. Proportion
ate charges are provided for intermedi-
ate distances; but no charge shall ex-
coed So. so from one point to another
within the state.
Proportionate reductions are made on
live stock, coal, rock, drain or sewer
pipe, quartz, stone, gravel or mineral
products in carload lots.
No rates ON less than carload lots
will be affected by the bill.
Almost the entire day was devoted to
the consideration of the rate bill, and
nothing more Of Importance came up.

Discussion OF Bills IN tn0 mousse
The house spent the day Wednesday
in discussing bills and passing them to
the third reading, and in consequence
little work of importance was done.
When Smiths compulsory pilotage
bill came up in the house, +. X. Baker
moved its indefinite postponement, and
the motion, after argument for and
against the measure, prevailed.
/ Libbey presented a petition, signed
by large majority of the owners OF
ships entering Puget sound, in which
they opposed the passage OF the bill,
and this petition settled the fate OF the
measure.
The following house bills passed:
By Hansen, exempting the proceeds OF
accident insurance from the debts OF
deceased persons; Geraghty, annulling
the requirement Of town or city char
tiers that certain office-holders must be
freeholders; Wilkeson, providing for
the dissolution of municipal corpora
ton of the third and fourth classes.
One Bill Passed in the Senate.
The senate bill by the judiciary COM
mittee, allowing coroner to serve
writs without extra bond, when the
sheriff is incapacitated, passed.
Parker's house bill, to prohibit CAPT.
tai punishment, which was tabled,
brought out a vigorous debate in the
senate Wednesday. Dorr moved its
indefinite postponement, but Range
objected, saying this was progressive
legislation. Dorr said if the bill passed
it would liberate all murderers under
sentence of death and turn them loose
upon our streets. Van Patton was
afraid legislation of this character
would result in return to lynch law.
He was not afraid of capital punish
ment, but he was afraid of enacting
suddenly such important legislation.
On motion of Wilson the bill was
sent to the table.
The senate bill by the committee on
education, allowing farmers, producers
and others to peddle their products in
cities without paying license to the
Guy, PaoSCu.
Crow offered memorial urging con-
gress to take proper steps looking to the
restoration of public lands held by
aliens under the Northern Pacific land
grant, and asking for a committee OF
five to act with the attorney-general to
investigate the title of the railway COM
pany to lands held in this state.
The bill abolishing the state normal
schools at Cheney and at Whatcom was
recommended for passage by the educa-
tional committee.
House bills recommended favorably
by the committee are: Making eight
hours days labor for railway en-
ployes; for the better protection of rail
way switches; for the protection of per-
sons working in coal mines; for the
establishment of board of pardons.
House bills returned without recon.
mendation by the committee are: An
eight-hour day in city, county and state
work; travel over docks and wharves
establishing a bureau of labor.
