If there was nAeded nrnnf +"
show that the democratic county
ticket ofWhitman county will prove
a strong factor in the coming con-
test it can be found in the Cakes
dale Sun, a fusion organ, of recent
date, That paper not only decrys
the nomination Of the ticket named
but it grows bitter and excited in
its long criticism, and shows how
badly the Oakesdale pulitzer of a
forthcoming new world is frightened
at the very great probability of the
defeat of h pater by civil course OF
of procedure. The article in ques-
ton is the only editorial in the
paper, since there was no room for
anything else; and if the democrats
for moment before thought they
were not in it" the Suns article
proves they are decidedly formid-
able party.

TOOK MEDICINE IN WATER.
Irishman Followed the Literal Mean
ing of His Physfcian's
Instructions.

Professional humorists of the past
so years and more have told as a fanci-
full joke little incident which actual
ly happened few days ago, says the
Philadelphia Record. Teddy Claherty,
of Leiperville, Delaware county, was
not well, and so consulted a Chester
physician, who gave him a simple rem
cdy. Now, remember" said the doc
tor, you are to take a teaspoonful
three times a day in water" Teddy
answered: "All right, sorr," and de-
parted. Several days later George
Leiper, the well-known quarry man
of the town, meeting the physician,
asked him what new-fangled ideas in
medicine he was practicing. When
asked to explain, Mr.. Leiper said Ted
dy Claherty had gone to Ridley Creek
three times day, and taking off his
clothes, had waded into the middle of
the, creek, where he had poured a
liquid into a Teaspoons from a bottle
and drank ii. II watched Teddy wade
out in the morning" continued Mr..
Leiper, "and when he repeated it in
the afternoon l asked him what he
was doing, and he said the doctor or
dered him to take the medicine in wa
ter, an, be COB, sorr, I'm mindin' the
directions, but / can't swhim a sthroke,
but I'm tellin' we If it's the death O.
me, I'll kape it up" The doctor made
an early call on Teddy, who now drops
the medicine in glass of water and
takes it that way.

Estimated at s56,s3s,OOO

Washington. Nov. L The immense
work of transporting the mails
throughout the United States Is dealt
with in the annual report OF Second
Assistant Postmaster General William
4. Shallen berger, which was made
public yesterday. The main feature
of the report Is vigorous arraignment
of existing star route methods Mr..
Shallen berger refers to the present
system of speculative bidding for star
rou ties as ''discreditable TO the govern
mentr He says the bidders cut lit
tie under the old contract prices and
risk being able to sublet at profit
The competition results in the greater
part of these contracts being awarded
ut very low rates. the accepted bidders
or their agents often using deceit and
misrepresentation in securing sub-con-
tracts from poor and ignorant men as
principals and sureties
Then there are the INSCRIPTIONS
contractors" it is added. who fail to
pay their carriers, which causes hum
dreds OF claims against the contractors
90 be fled in this Office and neccssi-
fafes voluminous correspondence TO
get the claims adjusted
1t Is conceded that exclusion of spec
ulative bidders would increase the cost
20 the government and recent exam
inations at the request of congress in
dictate the additional cost would be
81. 500, 600, which, however, would 60
into effect gradually.
The belief is expressed that con-
siderably larger sum for faster trans
portation would be well expended If it
resulted in improved equipments, las
many Of the vehicles now used in car
rying the mails present such dilapi-
dated and disreputable appearance as
20 be strong argument in condemna-
sion of the present system"
The report shows the mum Der of mail
routes at the close of the year was 49,
795; total mileage, $50, 461, an averag-
ing on each route nine trips per week.
There were 434, 332, COL miles travelled
on these routes, costing almost Sl07 per
mile of length each. or almost ~ cents
per mile travelled. The total annual
rate of expenditure for both routes
within the United States and in the
foreign mail service was 500, 024, 454.
The expenditure to railroads for
mail transportation. SO far as shown
by accounts stated to September 80,
was $40, 449. S37, and the estimate for
mail transportation for the fiscal year
ending June 80. 1000. is $50, 275, 600. A
deficiency of nearly $1,000. 900 in this
fiscal year for transportation is prob
able.
For ocean mail transportation in the
next fiscal year 81, 154. 900 is estimated.
Over $4,000, 600 letters and post cards
have been distributed in transit in our
international sea post offices and only
!, 500 errors were reported.

New York, Oct. 31.-Col. George E.

He was 81 years of age.
Col Waring had been sent to the

the exact sanitary conditions of that
city and to form ideas for the best

The archaeological world is thrown
into state of great perturbation over
the approaching visit of the emperor
of Germany to Jerusalem. 1t would
seem that the sultan in his zeal to
make things agreeable for his august
guest threatens to pull down the
Jaffa gate and part of the ancient
walls, so that the kaiser may make
his entry into the Holy City on horse
back. The Jaffa gate, although very
ancient and picturesque, is exceeding
~ narrow, and quite inadequate-at
least to the mind of the sultan for the
occasion in question.

Just BEFORE DEATH
xhe First Impressions % Life Are the
Last to Fade srem
Memory.

| In the account Of Mr.. Gladstono's
death given In the London Telegraph
IL was stated that during the last two
days., whenever he was delirious. his
broken sentences. even his Tmuttered-
prayers, were spoken in French. 1t
is probable that during his earliest
childhood his nurse was French, and
that she had taught him to pray in
her language.
It is fact established by physicians
that the mind. after a lingering Ill
ness, Just before death, frequently
goes back to it's earliest experiences.
The first impressions of life are the
last TO fade from the memory. Aged
women who have long been grand
mothers. when proPped UP on their
death-beds to sign a win, have been
known to write the maiden name, I'M
