DISARMAMENT OF REED
Farcial Trial At a Large Cost to
the County.
Proved That He Spoke Disrespect-
fully of Judge kean After
the Chinese Trial

The case for disbarment of NJ. O.
Reed as an attorney, which is being
pushed by Judge Mcdonald as the
browning act OF his four years of tur-
mol, was heard before Judge Jacobs
Thursday. The Judge travelled all the
way from Seattle to hear the one case.
dozen or more witnesses we're called,
the Quintessence of whose testimony was
that Mr. Reed had spoken on the streets
in by no means complimentary terms of
Judge kean, after the acquittal of Wong
Gee last July of the murder of a fellow
Chinese III Colfax. and that be had said
be believed the Judge took Chinese
money TO instruct the jury that yer
dict of murder in the first degree could
not be found.
Before bis leaving for the Seven Devils
country. the ATTORNEYS for Mr.. Reed and
Assistant Attorney General Vance, who
was to represent the state, entered into
stipulation that the case should be
postponed until January 10, and Mr.
Reed was not here when the case was
called, nor was the states attorney
| Judge Jacobs refused to recognize the
| stipulation, and after fiddlng around q
| DAY or two with a large batch of wit
neeses on pay, the case went to trial with
| but one side represented.
Judge Mcdonald could find no lawyer
reputable or disreputable, to prosecute
for him, so be forgot the dignity of his
high position and prosecuted it himself
pleading hard with the deputy prose
cutting attorney to appoint him to con-
duet it, This was refused Then he
conducted the examination of witnesset
as a petitioner and carried on the prose
cutiOn. He thrashed out all the old
straw in the Chinese, Nessle, Harring
ton and Keecb cases again and acquitted
himself ia q splendid burst of eloquencf
OF the charge IF attempted subornatior
Of perjury He showed such ability az q
prosecutor that the court had to occa
sionally call him down and strike bis
efforts from the record. 1t was farcical
in the extreme.
The case was taken under advieemPnt
and Judge Jacobs will render decision
this morning.

Yes, even more, every year from that dread

those Alaskan chamois and flannel chest pro-
tectors. We have just received a large line
direct from B. & B. They are just the thing
for damp. cold weather. Some people think
that IN order to wear chest protector it has
to be 40 degrees below zero. Mistaken idea.
The Palouse climate is just the kind that re-

you would pay in Chicago.

WON'T STAND THE TEST.
Shallow Pretense of the Demo-Pop Anti.
Trust Howl Shown Up in
Congress.

mHE joint resolution introduced
j in congress proposing consti-
tutional amendment whereby the
trusts might be CONT oiled, came to
a vote in the house last Friday, after
several days warm debate in which
the Democratic and Pop represen-
tatives took the opposing side.
A proposition to amend the con-
stitution requiIes two-thirds vote.
The Republicans, with the except
ion Of two members, voted for the
measure; and the Democrats and
Pops, with the exception of FIVE,
voted against the measure. The
two Republicans voting with the
Democrats were: Lord, of Cali
fornia, and Mccall, of Massachu-
setts.
Notwithstanding the great howl
the Pops are making about the
trusts, every one of their represen-
tatives voted against the measure.
Republican statesmen have been
giving this matter of the trusts seri-
Gus and careful thought lately, and
finally came to the conclusion that

: QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of using
anything else for Indigestion or Bill
BUSINESS. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard of Appendicitis.
Nervous Prostration or Heart failure,
etc. They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stop fer
mentati0n of undigested food, regu-
late the liver, stimulate the nervous
and organic actions of the system, and
that is all they took when feeling dull
and bad with headaches and other
aches. You only need few doses of
Green's August Flower in liquid form
to make you satisfied there is nothing
serious the matter with you. For

some additional powers. The reso-
luton for the amendment was sub
mitted and the vote stood as follows:
Ayes, I54, nayes, 1871. This was
decided majority but not the re-
quisite two-thirds vote, hence the
proposition fails.
Just how our Democratic and
Populist friends are going to explain
their votes on this proposition and
still contend that they are the party
of the people and the veritable oc-
topus killers, while the Republicans
nurture in their bosoms great octo-
pi with long Shiny arms covered
with horny suckers, ready to en-
circle the common people and suck
their life blood, we can't conjecture.
Even our own Ridgley, of the
Third, the one great anti-monopo-
list, antitrust, anti-anything for the
good of his country, reformer,
could not be induced to vote for this
measure. He, In common with
other representatives of the aggre-
cation, will paw the air for hours
and denounce trusts and accuse Re-
publicans of fostering them, but as
soon as wholesome measure is
proposed to regulate and control
them, the great reformer and anti
trust magnate feels called upon to
vote against it.
Consistency and sincerity have
never been supposed to be attrib-
utes of the Democratic conscience,
but it was supposed that the Pops,
after having been so bitter in their
denunciation of trusts, would sup
port any kind of measure that had
for its object the regulation of
these monstrous evils.
After this display of their double
dealing it will be very much in
order for them to be little more
mild and measured in their denun-
citation of trusts hereafter.
