1t has often been explained how the
Wall street financial policy OF squeez-
ing our monetary system down to
single gold standard basis made the
trusts of today business necessity
Constantly falling prices made the
continuance and new enterprises and
the financially weak enterprises i'm
possible, and combination to check the
gold standard downward tendency OF
prices imperative. And one of the
first trusts, the secret railroad trust.
has given its powerful aid in estab-
fishing all other trusts.

the whole road, and tossed few shares
of stock around among the editors ana

In considering whittier we have al

wholesale grocer of San Francisco, in
a letter to the Examiner of that city,
rises to what the San Francisco Star
calls social point of order

in San Francisco originally gave it
as their opinion that Mrs. Botkin
could be convicted only of transmit
ting poisonous matter through the
mail, the maximum punishment for
which was ten years imprisonment.
This opinion, under the conditions
of this case, seemed ridiculous, yet it
seemed TO increase the chief execu-
tive's frmness in resisting the de-
mands of the Delaware authorities.
However, by some hook or crook,
known only to the criminal bar o.
San Francisco, the district attorney
of that city succeeded in having Mrs
Bolkin brought to trial for murder
She was promptly convicted, and
should by this time be serving life
sentence IN one of California's peni-
tentiaries. But to.CalifornIa's shame
this case may drag through hel
courts another year or two, with {
possible elimination in the woman:

Another legal farce is to be enact
ed in San Francisco, on a modified
line with the notorious Durrant case.
It is the matter of the convicted prls-
oner, Cornelia Botkin, who is about
moving for new trial. In the
event of denial and the refusal of a
reversion by the supreme court of
California, this Woman's counsel will
spring as last resort, "the absence
of Jurisdiction on part of California
tribunals to take judicial cognizance
of her crime" This is indeed a pe-
culIar co-mingling of tragedy and
burlesque, which will ever disgrace
the Golden state as long as its Grim
inal code is not changed so that pet
tifogglng lawyers may not toy with it.
The victim of Mrs. Botkin's hellish
act died in Delaware from poisoned
candy sent to her from California by
this woman. Governor Budd re-
fused TO recognize extradition papers
for the prisoner from Delaware, first
on the ground that she was mol fu-
gitive from justice, as designated il
the requisltion, and second, because
she, in propria persona, committed
no crime in that state. AS an eyi
dence of the various construction
that can be placed on the crimina
code of California, eminent couRse

No Right to Ugllness.

The woman who is lovely in face, form
and temper will always have friends,
but one who would be attractive must
keep her health. If she is weak, sickly
and all run down. she will be nervous
and irritable. If she has constipation or
kidney trouble, her impure blood will
cause pimples, blotchee. skin eruptions
and wretched complexion. Electric

WESTERN NoMENcLArURE.

It is difficult to shake off the names
attached to streams and mountains
by the pioneers Of a new country.
With few exceptions Washington has
Jared well in nomenclature. In a
majority of instances Indian names
haye been retained, and usually they
are easy and poetlcal. But in some
cases the individuality of the first
settlers prompted them to an effort
to improve on the native names of
streams and sections, and IN some in
stances they were not happy in their
originality.
The word Hangman has clung to
the little stream which skirts Spokane
on its western border, and repeated
spasmodic efforts to center the public
mind on the more melodious name
Latah have failed of their purpose.
Now Senator Plummer of this county
has introduced bill at Olympia to
make this change, and as no objec-
tion can attach to the measure it will
probably pass, and may exert suf-
fcient force to bring about the de-
sired change.
A few years ago an esthetic move
ment swept through the Oregon legls
lature, and a number of pioneer
names were turned down for more
polite ones. The good people of
Alkali, in eastern Oregon, imagined
that the name was not one to conjure
eastern capital, and dropped 1t for
Arlington. A new name was devised
for Bully creek, and Yaller Dog and
Bake Oven were tabooed as primi-
tive and unpoetic.
But Bake Oven has adhered, and
is still the name of postoffice. In
deed, much room remains for i'm
provement of the nomenclature o
Oregon, which includes in its list O
postoffices the towns of Burnt Ranch
Gooseberry, HaYstack, Lobster, Long
Tom, Mule, Shake, Shlrk, Starveou
and Sucker.
A few names in Idaho could II
dropped for the better, among then
Bayhorse, Corral, Glmlet, Gentle
Valley, Sawtooth and Yellowjecket
In this respect Washington ha
done less offending than it's siste
states, and there is hardly an often
sive name to a postoffice in the state
But while the breezy west has som
crudities in its nomenclature, it ha
not offended more grIevously in thi
way than have the past generation
who attached 10 London points sue
well known names as Cheapside, Mil
End, Whitechapel, Haymarket, Ham
mcrsmith, Dog Island, 'rhreadneedle

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear:
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remed sea
Deafness is caused by an infamed cor
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, ard
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh]

when he returned 1t was announced that
our salaries had been cut. not only for the
future but for the quarter just passed.
This naturally caused trouble, and there
was dissatisfaction among the entire force.
THE shift with which I worked went on
duty at O'Clock. and continued until 6 in
the afternoon. Then it was free until IL at
night, and worked until the mails were
disposed of. Sometimes this compelled us
to stay until the early morning. This par
ticular night when We came back at II we
found a stack of California mail awaiting
us. 1t had been brought around the 18TH
mus by ship. and there was small noun
tain of it. One of the men. whose name
l will not mention. picked up handful of
letters from this pile and began throwing
them.
Suddenly he dashed the letters to the
floor and exclaimed, I'll be dashed If I'll
throw another letter until this salary busi-
ness is fixed up all right In less than
five minutes he was surrounded by all the
men on duty, and a strike was in force. AS
a result it was fully two weeks before that
stack of California mail wac disposed of.
Many of the men brought suit against the
postmaster for the recovery of back sala-
ry due them, and they were successful.
"In those days 1t took time to handle
mail. and 1 we'll remember tying into one
bundle Chicago letters bearing fourteen
different dates. One OF the principal caus-
es of delay was the rule which required
every package of mail destined to a cer-
tain city or town to be accompanied by a
bill to the postmaster enumerating each
letter, the amount of postage thereon and
whether the latter was paid in stamps or
in money. If such system were in
vogue today the whole community would
be up in arms over the delay it would
cause.
while / like this business and take as
much pleasure in it now as l ever did,
certainly would not advise son of mine
to go into it. The same ability and effort
put into other lines of work would, l be-
lieve, bring a far better return. On the
other hand, the operation of the Civil Ser
vice law is, in my opinion. the greatest
blessing that has come to the service. and
has done more than anything eles to add
to its efficiency. Before it was put into
operation the clerks were constantly mix

Il severely. 1t became very much swollen,
and pained him SO badly that he could not
walk without the aid of crutches. He was
treated by physicians. also used several
kinds of liniment and two and a half
gallons of whisky in bathing it, but nothing
gave any relief until he began, using Cham

a complete cure in weeks time, and he
