sugar beet factory in novel way.
The owners Of the sugar beet industry
have agreed to establish million dol

company does not ask any bonus or ex-

IN bcets for which the people will bc

forward and sign contracts stating
how many acres they will devote to

The few remedies which have attained to
worldwide fame, as truly beneficial in
effect and giving satisfaction to millions of
people everywhere, are the products OF the
knowledge of the most eminent physicians
aud presented in the form most acceptable
to the human system by the skill Of the
most successful examples is the Syrup of
Figs manufactured by the California Fig
Syrup Co. Unlike a host of limitations and
cheap substitutes, Syrup of Figs is per-
manently beneficial in is effects, and there
fore lives and promotes good health, while
inferior preparations are being cast aside
and forgotten. In olden times il remedy
gave temporary relief to individuals here
and there, it was thought good; but nova
ton to all. If you have never used Syrup
of Figs, give it a trial, and you will be
pleased with it, and will recommend it to
your friends or to any who suffer from con-
stipation, or from overlooking, or from
colds headaches, bliousness, or other ills
resulting from an inactive condition of the
kidneys, liver and bowels.
In the process of manufacturing the pleas
ant family laxative made by the California
Fig Syrup Co., and named Syrup OF Figs,
figs are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste; but the medicinal properties of the
remedy are obtained from an excellent
c)mbinatiou Of plants known to be medi
cinally laxative and to act most benefcially.
As the true and original remedy, named
Syrup of Figs, is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only, knowledge of
that fact will assist in avoiding the worth
less limitations manufactured by other part
les. The Company has selected for years
past the leading publications of the United
States through which to inform the public
of the merits of its remedy, and among
them the CECIL WING is included as will
be seen by reference to its advertising col
umns.

CHARMING STRANGER.
BY CHARLOTTE M. THOMPSON.

My empress No tongue can tell how
proud | shall be of this little hand ~
Myrtle's cheeks burned as she looked
down upon her kneeling swain. Harry
Payne had never wooed her in such dram
attic style as this. She almost felt ashamed
of herself as she remembered how pleased
she had been with his commonplace atten-
lions.
"And now ~ cried her new sutton, aris-
ing, "now for the grand sequel-the de-
nouement! Would you like to know, fair
village maid, the real name Of the man
you've won? Who am II"
"Mr. Reginald Clavering, of New York, y
answered Myrtle, innocenty.
"Better than that, dearest We spoke a
Baron Rothschld ~
''You, Reginald ?"
"And not only Baron Rothschild, but
Sir Francis Barring and John Jacob Aston,
all rolled into one ~
Myrtle could only stare at him in speech
less horror.
"And now to be off for Europe by tele-
graph" resumed the stranger, his eyes roll
ing hideously as he seized her hand again.

by rail way, but wen mount the wires
Come ~
But Myrtle drew back, her real situation
dawninH upon her. She was alone in these
solitary woods with raving maniac
"IIelp! Help ~ she shreked
And almost the same instant there was
a crash of breaking branches and rush of
many footsteps. Sense and hearing were
leaving poor Myrtle, yet strong, loving
grasp sustained her, and she realized that
the eyes of Harry Payne were looking ten
derby into her own. And then all became
"A blank to her.
When she recovered her senses Harry
was bathing her forehead with the clear
water of the creek.
"Where- where is that t. that terrible
man 2" she faltersd.
His Keepers have him.
And then she behed Reginald Clavering
in the very unbecoming costume of strait
jacket and manacles, sitting on the bank at
no great distance, in charge of two buIly
men.
''Don't be in hurry, my lord,' said
one of Them addressing the whilom Baron
| u Al ..l.
''The wagon will be along in the twinkiing
of an eye, and you'll be back in your old
quarters before you know it. No occasion
for any further scene, Miss he added
turning atfably to Myrtle Hes as mad
as March hare, and has been these six
years, ever since he gambled himself out of
his senses in New York. But he's cunning
as a fox, or he never would have escaped
from the asylum as he did, or lodged us all
so long and so cleverly He has such lucid
spells that you might think him chief jus
tce of the United States, aud then he'll
break out all Of sudden madden than a
nest of hornets It's lucky we came across
this young gentleman, who knew where he
was, or he might have killed you"
Myrtle closed her eyes, realizing once
more the horrors of her recent situation.
"Take me home, larry" she faltered
Harry complied And long before home
was reached she had given him promise
that she would never look twice at any
charming stranger who might cross her path
in the future

Cut Rates to Dawson.

Rates to Dawson City were cut in
two by the successful formation yester-
day afternoon of strong Transports
tion combination, including various
steamers running between Tacoma and
Skagway, the White Pass & Yukon
railway the steamers on Lake Bennett
and the upper Yukon.
Rates, to take effect on the opening
ofnavigation on the lakes, are anneunc-
ed as follows: 1852 per ton for freight
of all kinds; first-class passenger pas
sage, 500; second-class, $50. In case
of a rate war between the up-river
steamers the freight rate will go down
TO $40 ton. The arrangement is
for through traffic from Tacoma to
Dawson, and guaranteed delivery.
Delivery is guaranteed in thirty days.
The schedule time, however, is seven
days and fifteen hours from Tacoma
to Dawson. 1t is figured thus: Three

way, three hours across the pass on
the railroad, four days from BENEFIT to
Dawson Last season the rates ranged

Assorted 'sPipe Dreams"

An editor who knows says that the
dreams of prosperity differ with the
individual. The boys dream Of per-
feet happiness is six pieces of pie at a
meal. The darky dreams of good ripe
watermelon. The farmers richest
feeling is to muse over the fifty bushels
of wheat that he didn't plant. The
blcyclist's most prosperous idol IS a
smooth track around the world. The
confidence man has vision of green
mossbacks coming to town in droves,
The country editors most extrayagant
dream is how nice it would be for hall
dozen or more delinquents to come in
and pay up in one day.-Ex.

Try the Shelton Plan.

Whoever said that the men of Ia
coma had lost their grip evidently be-
lied them scandalously. They have
organized a vigilance committee to
administer rebukes to the footpads
who have been lerrorizing every city
in the Pacific Northwest. Take off
your hats, men of Portland, to Tacoma
And if our neighbors to the north will
take friends advice, they will stay
up all night, few of them, and kill
off every footpad in the town. A few
determined men, moderately quick to
draw, and with loads in their guns,
could remove these pestilentiaI gentry
in week. This is the duty of the pa
trolmen, but if they will not do it,
others must. Let every policeman
who meets thug without killing him
be dropped from the torce, and let
every man who lets his assailant get
away alive be sent to the penitentiary
for life. Sins of Ummission in this
matter are serious offenses. AS for
the burglar and footpad, death by cold
lead errs on the side of indulgence
No modern punishment is severe
enough to fit the crime of offering sud-
den and brutal violence to men who
have never owed or wronged the as
sallant, and inficting terror and per-
haps death to women and children Of
tender and blameless lives. When a
peace-loving, law-abiding man, upon
whose earnings family depends, can
be waylaid, robbed or beaten in cold
blood, justice has become disgrace
and law and order burlesque. Young
Mr.. Fullbright should have the keys OF
the city and a ument.-Oregonian
For several months past this same
gang, perhaps, has been blowing safes,
holding people up, and walking away
with impunity, from chicken-hearted
sheriffs and guardians of the place.
Shelton never does things by halves.
Our people organized man-hunt, and
have given all robbers cause to give
Shelton a mighty wide berth.

The New Mortgage Law.

The mortgage law passed by the las

amount of 6 percent upon the pur-
chase price and of taxes.
The section relating to deficiency
judgments is ambiguous, and no doubt
its intent will have to be construed by
the supreme court. It provides where
an agreement for deficiency judg-
ment is inserted in the obligation,
such judgment may be awarded, and
where mortgage contains stipula-
ton that no deficiency judgment shall
be taken, it shall not be allowed
These provisions are direct and manda-
tory, and cannot he misunderstood.
The ambiguity is in the lack of pro-
vision for the foreclosure OF mort
gage when there is no stipulation re-
garding deficiency judgment, either
consenting to or refusing such judg-
ment.
Lawyers are divide as to the proba-
BILE construction of this point, or rather
omission, by the supreme court, some
contending that in the absence of any
direct statement the provisions of the
old law would obtain, while others
are of opinion that it would be decided
that the plan intent of the law was to
abolish deficiency judgments, and that
they would not obtain unless specific
ally consented to.
With this blind passage opened up
by legal decision the law will give gen
eral satisfaction to all concerned, and
will result in much good.-Ledger.
