Bonded Railroad cars.

The new law prohibiting the importation OF
cheap, low-grAde teas also provides that in
order to save time, trouble and drayage the
importer may store his goods in special bonded
warehouses near the point where the same are
landed. Collector Jackson has ma7e an addi-
tioual concession in order TO accommodate the
importer by allowing railroad cars to be
bonded and the importatiOns placed therein,
OF course under the supervision of q customs
inspector. The new Collector is determined
TO do all in his power to keep up the entry of
tea to this pori, and any obstacles thrown in
the way OF the impo might cause the latter
to land his goods in Tacoma and ship them in
bonded cars to Chicago or New York, the only
other two ports OF entry for tea.

Bladder TrOnbles.

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely, receptacle for the urine,
aud as such it is not liable to any form of
disease except by one of two ways.
The first way is from imperfect action Of
the kidneys. The second way is from
careless local treatment of other diseases.
Sample Sent Free.
&Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid
neys is the chief cause of bladder troub-
les. 1t is comforting to know that DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root fultllls every wish
in quickly curing bladder and urinary
troubles. 1t corrects frequent calls, in
ability to hold urine and seal ing or sting
ing pain in passing it, or bad effects fol-
lowing use of liquor, wine or beer, and
overcomes that unpleasant necessity of
being compelled to get up many times
during the night to urirate. The mild
and extraordinary effect of DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root is soon realized. 1t stands
the highest for its wonderful cures of
the most distressing eases. If you need
medicine you should have the best. At

PRICE THREE CENTS.
Worthy of Note.

In calling the attention of our To-
cal readers to Merchant Smiths ad-
vertlsement in this issue it occurs to
us that mention of some of the store
improvements recently made by that
gentleman deserves more than pass
icg notice. BY these improvements,
namely, the addition of two ground
floor rooms, with oiled and carpeted
floors, warmed with coal stove, no
more commodious or handler store
room can be found anywhere. The
first of these rooms, made by closing
the passageway between the store and
SITTER block, is devoted to shoes and
underwear. In this neat little car
peted room lady can try on pair
Of shoes without being gazed at BY
the horrid men, something we know
she will much appreciate. The next
room, formerly occupied by the milli-
ners, is fitted with shelves and count
ers and devoted, principally to rub
ber goods.
Mr.. Smith is large general dealer
but gives especial attention to the
shoe trade and has today, without
any doubt, the largest stock in all
this section and the additions to his
store room, above mentioned, was
made to accommodate this trade.
In the drug and medicine line his
stock is also the most complete for a
country place and this, coupled with
his thorough knowledge of the bust
ness, gives him big trade.
Step in and see if the SITTER has
not set it down about right.

Rev. B. Fay Mills, continues to stir
up the birthstone corner of orthodoxy.
Last Sabbath in his Music Hall dis.
course he gave his attention to "The
modern God," prefacing his remarks as
follows:
81 am perfectly clear that it is time
that some of our conceptions of God
should be clearly stated as worthy on
ly of abandonment. AS a prominent
preacher, formerly of this city, has
said, "the gods must die in order that
men may be saved" The case with
some Of the gods that l am about to
name is that they have been dead some
time, but have not been properly bur-
led. Let us then attend to their obse.
qules."
He then paid his respects to "The
absentee God" ''The limited God"
"The Negative God" The unkind
God" and The pa. tial God" Of the
latter he said:
"The fifth god awaiting burial might
be described as the Partial God. What
glorious thing that mau should
think of God as a father, and what a
terrible thing that they should regard
him as father only of a portion of
his children. There have been Phari.
sees in every known religion, and the
Phalisee of today is the man who
would limit the tatherhood of God to
The special number OF those who may
chance to have certain opinions about
him. One of our great reformers wrote
an inspiring work not long ago, when
he said that as Judaism had possessed
doctrine of God as the father of a
favored few and christianity had de-
veloped out of Judaism, with its doc
trine of God as the Father of those who
were willing to accept certain dogmas
so out of Christianity there is to be de-
veloped the religion of the futnre, which
will be absolute faith in the universal
Fatherhood of God and perfect human
brotherhood of men,"
He speaks to immense audiences
and the Boston daily papers report his
sermons.

The case of Edward Hodgson YER.
sus the state of Vermont was decided
in the United States Supreme court
Monday. The opinion was announced
by Justice Shiras. The case involved
the constitutionality of the statues of
Vermont providing for the punishment
of Offenders against the state in the
sale of intoxicating liquors. In this
case Hodgson was found guilty of
such offense on an information. He
appealed to the Supreme court OF the
United States from the rulings of the
state courts on the ground that his
conviction was without due process Of

Justice Shiras, in deciding this

was not designed to interfere with the
