Court-MartiaI over,

Washington, Jan. Bottle case Of
Commissary- General Charles P. Ea-
gan, charged with conduct tending to
the prejudice of good order and Mill
tary discipline. is now in the hands of
the court martial appointed to try him.
Today the taking of testimony was
closed, and arguments of counsel SUBJ
mitted. The trial lasted three days
and consumed less than eight hours of
actual sitting. A session behind closed
doors of an hour or so sufficed for the
court to reach a conclusion and en-
body its report. What the verdict will
be is altogether matter of specula-
tion, and officially at least will not be
made public by the trial board, mill
tary regulations requiring that it's find
ings shall go through prescribed cham
nels, and be kept secret until action be
had and promulgated by the proper re-
viewing authorities.

Union Pacific Will Profit,

New York, Jan. 30.-It was stated
last night that the details of the plan
for the exchange of Union Pacific COM
mon stock for Oregon Short Line stock
would be made public in an advertise
ment. The directors of the Union Pa
cific have settled the terms and the
official announcement is expected to-
day.
1t is generally believed that the ar
rangement arrived at will be share for
share on the $27, AGO, 900 of Short Line
stock, with "string" to the deal, in
the shape of a small assessment on the
Short Line holders. This deal should
net the Union Pacific about 81, 900, 600.

To Freeze Out Americans.


The government measure recently
enacted into law, and aimed at the
Americans in the Atlin district, pro-
vides for the amendment of the placer
mining act, providing that no one who
is not British subject shall take out
a free miners license, and that no
com mpany shall have the~same license
unless incorporated or registered under
the laws of the province. The act is
not retrospective. Licenses take out
previously may be renewed, but under
q renewed license no one is entitled
to take up new claims. Section 5,
which is the most far-reaching. pro-
vides that no free miner after the pas
sage of this act shall hold any claim
under the British Colum bia placer
mining act or an interest therein as
trustee or otherwise for any person
who is not a British subject, or for
any corporation not authorized to take
out a free miners certificate. A
miners license taken out by any person
not authorized to do SO by this section
shall be null and void. This section
shall not affect free miners licenses
issued before the coming into force of
this section, and such licenses may be
renewed from time to time. The only
necessities for a person to become
naturalized are that the applicant is
person of good charac ter and has re-
sided in the Dominion for three years.

Guarding Against irwin Germs.

A village clergyman tells this story;
He was walking through the outskirts
of his parish one evening, when lie saw
one of his Pensioners very busy white.
washing his cottage. Pleased at these
somewhat novel signs of cleanliness, hs
called out: "Well, Jones, l see you
are making your house nice and smart"
With mysterious air, Jones, who had
recently taken the cottage, descended
from the ladder. and slowly walked to
the hedge which separated the garden
from the road. "That's not 'xactly
the reason why Pm a doing this 'ers
job," he whispered, "but the last TIVE
couples as lived in this ere cottage 'ad
twins: so l says to my missus, I'll take

mayn't be no infection. Ye see, sir,

NO WOMAN is EXEMPT.

Regularity is matter of Importance
In every woman's life. Much pain is,
however, endured in the belief that it
is necessary and not alarming, when
in truth it is all wrong and indicates
arrangement that may cause serious
trouble.
Excessive monthly pain itself will
unsettle the nerves and make women
old before their time.
The foundation of woman's health Is
perfectly normal and regular per-
formance of natures function. The
statement we print from Miss GER

in every city. town and hamlet In this

vice, and think it is my duty to let the
public know the good your remedies

cines. l now wish to say that l never
had anything do me SO much good for
painful menstruation as Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound; also would
say that your Sanative Wash has cured
me Of leucorrhea. | hope these few
words may help suffering women"
The present Mrs Pinkham's expert
ence in treating female Ills Is unparal-
leled, for years she worked side by
side with Mrs. Lydia e, Pinkham. and
for sometime past has had sole charge
of the correspondence department of
her great business, treating by letter
as many as hundred thousand ailing
women during a single year.
All suffering women are invited to
write freely to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn.

Vancouver, B. c., Jan. 30.-After
escaping death by drowning, Il of the
crew of the ship Manbare were cap
tured and eaten by cannibals of New
Guinea.
The Manbare was bound for Sydney,
Australia, when it was caught in the
terrible gale of December. Near Cape
Nelson it began to sink. The crew, l8
all told, left the vessel in two boats,
and soon became separated. One boat,
containing IL men, was finally thrown
ashore 10 miles from the cape.
The sailors were seized by natives
from the interior and hurried off to
the village of the chief. One man,
James Greene, escaped. The sailors
were stripped and bound and killed.
one each day. A wild orgie was par
ticipated in by at least 100 savages,
who had gathered for the feast.
In several Cases the sailors were tor
tured by the old women and children
of the tribe. The eyes of one were
gouged out. The doomed men stoically
watched the elaborate preparations for
their death. A huge pot filled with
boiling water was used for the feast,
which on the first day was prolonged
away into the night. In most cases
the men were beheaded, their head
being stuck on poles and paraded be-
fore the men who were to suffer the
same fate.
Greene was rescued by steamer
after tramping without food a day and
a night to reach the coast. The scenes
of horror he had witnessed turned his
hair snowy white.
