OILED ROADBEDs ARE A SUCCESS.
Prevention of Dust the Principal
Feature of the OiIing Process.

Prevention of Dust the Principal
Feature of the OiIing Process.
A new departure in practical railroading
has been taken in the recent experimental
tests of the efficacy Of oiling railroad beds.
The originator Of this idea advanced great
claims for his discovery, and those rail-
roads which have tried it are more than
pleased with the results. An oil, especially
prepared Cor this use, which is odorless and
non-infammable, is sprinkled by means of a
special car in the center of the track and on
the outside of the rails for four or five feet.
The principal benefit of this crude oil is
that 1t lis a preventive of dust, and one ap-
plication given the track keeps 1t free from
dust for about a year. The advantages re-
sulting from this are plainly apparent to
railroad men. The prevention of dust does
of necessity relieve the wear and tear upon
machinery. 1t lessons the number or hot
boxes. and not only is the ~allaying of dust Of
benefit to a railroad from an economi-
cal standpoint, but 1t makes travelling much
more bearable, and, naturally, enhances the
pleasure of passengers. Another advantage
of this oil is that track so treated does not
absorb water. Moisture will not penetrate
through the oiled outer crust, but runs off
the track surface into the bitches, thus i'm
proving the roadbeds greatly. Vegetation is
also destroyed by use of the oil. The few
roads which have already experimental with
1t are more than pleased with the results
The only western road that has given the
new discovery a trial is the Burlington, and
four miles of Its track on the Wyoming di-
vision have been treated with this crude oil.
Superintendent Calvert seems to be we'll
pleased with the experiment thus far, and is
making arrangements to continue the work
later in other places. 1t is estimated that 1t
takes about $500 gallons Of oil to the mile.

Re,i,t rate. for HandIinr rice

NEW ORLEANS, July 15.-The determine
ton OF the railroad and steamboat COM
panies to resist the rates fixed by the rail-
road commission for the handling OF rice
from the country districts threatens serl-
ously to interfere with the prompt trans
portation of this years crop to market. To-
day the new rates of the railroad commits
sion go into effect and the Southern Pacific
has brought a suit for injunction at Baton
Rouge to prevent their operation on the
ground that they are unjust. Captain j.
b. Woods OF the ST. Louis & New Orleans
line declares the steamboats, will make nc
attempt TO handle rice this season unless
old conditions are restored.

To the Doctors

For the past six months our prescription
business has increased beyond our expecta-
lions. This is due in a great measure to
doctors who are not unfriendly to us-as
we hear through our patrons many kind
things these doctors say OF us. Not know
ing some of these doctors personally we
don't want them to feel that we class all
professional men as "pluggers," for we know
OF some doctors who object to certain drug
gists filling their prescriptions on personal
grounds-not that they think they are In
competent-and in cases of this kim they
should not be olassed as we have dubbed the
"Docs"-as in some cases we know they
have good grounds for not wanting these
druggists to fill their prescriptions.

GU GET WHAT YOU CALL FOR,
ACCIDENTAL DEATH.

Little Miss Laura Lipari fell
from a tree yesterday in the west
ern suburbs of the city, sustaining
injuries from which she died last
night.
1t seems a half dozen little girls
gathered at the Lipari home yes
terday afternoon, and all went to
the woods back of the park to
gather nuts and flowers. Coming
upon persimmon tree loaded with
fruit they stopped and some of the
little girls climbed the tree, four in
number, and while picking off the
fruit, Little Laura lost her balance
aud fell out of the tree on her
face and arms. The children saw
she was badly hurt and they were
thrown into CONSERVATION and sent
up scream, which brought older
people to the scene,
1t was found that the child had
both arms broken at the wrist, and
the shoulder bone broken and the
nose terribly Aattened by the fall.
She was picked up and carried to
house near by, and her father and
mother apprised of the facts. They
were soon by her side and had her
removed to their home and doc
tor summoned.
All was done for the child that
human agency could suggest, but
death had set its seal upon her and
at Ills o'clock last night, the light
of life departed from the body
leaving a grief stricken father and
mother, sister and brothers cast
down in grief, The whole commuu-
ity sympathizes with the family in
their loss of the loved one.

OFF For BOSTON

This morning the union depot was
filed with lawyers and litigants,
who were prepared to spend the
day at the capital Of Bowie county,
District court convenes there today
and be in session for five weeks.
We interviewed several litigants
and they were all of enc mind, and
that was they had rather go to any
other place on the face Of the
earth to court than at Boston.
We learned that very few civil
cases were liable to consume the
attention of the court, but that a
heavy criminal docket was await
ing the action of the grand jury,
also several cases that the grand
jury had previously found true bills.
If you miss any one from town this
week, you can say he is more than
Iikly to be at Boston.

Saloon Men In Trouble.

We learn from pavement talk that
the saloon men had agreed to keep
their saloons closed on the Sabbath
and if such an agreement had been
reached, it was broken yesterday,
or the three warrants issued out of
the mayors court for Dan Gala
CHER, Mike Lipsey and Louis Long
motif, are libels upon these men,
for they are charged with the
offense of selling whiskey on the
Sabbath
In connection with these arrests,
two negro men were arrested for
retailing whiskey by the pint in the
alleys. There is one way to stop
Sabbath desecration, and that is to
fine the men the limit. We shall
see what kind of fine mayor Hardin
will put on these men and we can
Judge then whether he intends to
play friendly game of tag, or use
the law as it was intended as a
means to stop crime and not to set
a price on the same, that men can
commit it, and make a profit by so
doing The people have an eye on
you, mayor, do your duty.

To THE HONORABLE BOARD OF
COUNTY CoMMIssIoNERs--G Gentlemen !:
We would respectfully call your atten-
tion to the financesin their various forms
in Nez Perce county and wonld suggest
tion, Of which your body has the author
ty, and would present the following
suggestions:
In the first place, permit us to call
your attention to the thirty thousand
dollars of court house bonds, which were
issued November I6, 1895 Three thous-
and dollars of this issue will he due No
venber roth, of this year, and must be
paid then. Also, TO the fact that hereaf-
ter, until 1908, three thousand dollars of
these bonds are due eacz and every year
These bonds bear 3 per cent interest,
and the payment is not optional with the
county. The owner refuses to allow us
to refund them We would also call
yonr attention 10 "House Bill No o."
page 1876, of the session laws, which
would be your authority for the issuing
of bonds for the purpose of taking up the
old warrants. We fud that we have
warrants outstanding prior to January l.,
1899. A6 .ooo,oo We have in the treas
ury to-day less than fIoo for the payment
of these warrants.
We would most respectfully call you,
attention, as per attached statement, to
the large amount of taxes delinquent.
We find that about thirty thousand
dollars of the total amount of forty
thousand dollars, is tor delinquent
| personal property; this amount is made
approximately, interest and penalties on
the same being omitted. Had these taxes
been paid when due, the debt against
the county would have been one-fifth
less, aud the tax rate for each year would
have been greatly reduced. Personal
property holders in the past have paid
their taxes or not, as they saw fit, The
law for the collection of the same being
dead letter in the hands Of our former
collectors and we would earnestly
recommend tina, the law in regard to the
collection of personal property tax be as
tstringently enforced as that effecting
real estate, in order that all classes of
property may bear their jus, proportion
of the burdens Of taxation. and we would
earnestly recommend TO your body the
issue Of bonds to the extent of forty
thousand dollars hearing low rate of
interest payable in ten years for the
purpose Of taking up the old warrants,
and also for the establishing OF shaking
fund, laying aside each year, three

No Doubt a Murder.

Fred J. Ferguson a section hand
employed on the Northern Pacific
railroad came into Coroner Burnham's s
Office Thursday morning and stated that
the dead body of a man had been found
by himself and fellow laborers on the
Dnnwell place five miles east of this
city in the Clearwater river few feet
from shore.
Coroner Burnham summoned the fol-
lowing citizens as iruvmen to hold an
inquest; S. G. Hoffman, Frank Boice,
l.. c. Neal, F. NJ Roberts, W. +. Baum
and Al Smith.
The coroner and jnrymen proceeded to
the place where corpse was found, made
an inspection of .he ground in the vicinity
and found foot prints few feet from
where the body lay evidently made by
two persons one of whom wore shoes
with pointed toes and the other shoes
with hob nails
The body was brought to the city and
the jury adjourned until yesterday morn
ing to enable Dr's. Whitford and Johnson
to perform an autopsy. The unfortunate
man is probably 40 or As years of age
and the expression of his face indicates
that he is German. He is about FIVE feet

of beard, dark hair cropped close OH the
back of head, was hatless and coatless,
wore black and white striped shirt,
! overalls or dark cnttopade pants, brogan
| shoes fastened with patent buckles and
| wore no underwear. Hundreds viewed
the remains aud the majority Of them
said the features were familiar but none
could positively identify the man.
The coroner's jury reconvened yester.
day morning and the following persons
, were sworn and testified synopsis OF
which we give.
| ]. Fred Ferguson stated that he was a
section laborer employed by the Northern
Pacific railway and about 10 O'Clock
Thursday morning four or FIVE miles
above the city he went TO the river to
get bucket of water and discovered the
PROSTATE form of man lying face down
ward in shallow water about six feet
from shore. He returned TO where the
other men were at work and notified
them and after procuring pitchfork
and rope at nearby farm they all re.
turned to the river and managed to &c,
the body to shore made it fast and came
to the city to notify the authorities
Isaac Thompson another section laborer
upon being called corroborated
Ferguson's story. NJ. l.. Badger, a
farmer ON the ::Dunwell place was notified
of the find by the section men he said
the body was found about four hundred
yards from his residence and about
seventy feet from the railroad track and
that many laborers and people that
walked back and forward on the TRACK
often canned at this particular place.
