A Dead Indian.

The body OF Honnewasse, an Indian,
was found along the Shame ditch a
short distance below the city. Coroner
Rosser was notified and went down to
inspect the remains. He did not deem
it necessary to hold an inquest, as he
was OF the opinion that the Indian died
from the effects of drinking too much
alcohol. No marks were found on the
body to indicate that he had been foully
dealt with as had been rumored. There
wasn't bruise or anything to substan-
tiate the theory that the Indian had been
murdered. The remains were turned
over to the Indians OF the reservation,
who took them in charge for burial.
Jay Lynch, Indian agent OF the reserv-
alton, came to the city on Wednesday
and swore out informations against In
dian Smauty and others, charging them
with numbering Henawasha. Mr.. Lynch
says an examination of the dead Indian
after he had been taken to Toppenish
showed that his throat had been cut.

STATE FAIR NEWS.
Outside Counties Preparing to Compete for the
prizeAOthe Events.

Hon. f. +. Benson, the newly appoint
ed member of the State Fair commission
is in the field working up county and
individual exhibits for the fair. As only
four weeks more time remains before
the opening of the fair those intend
ing to make exhibits are getting every
thing in shape. Several counties are
making preparations for competing and
have engaged space in the pavilion.
Yakima, Pierce, Clark, Columbia and
possibly Walla Walla and Chelan coun-
ties will have fine exhibits. In addi-
ton to the large displays for individual
prizes. Everything promises to be larg-
er and better than ever before.
The fair dates are one week later than
at former exhibitions which will give
the hop pickers and fruit packers an
opportunity to visit the fair. The secre-
tary is in receipt OF numerous inquiries
about camping privileges on the fair
grounds, indicating that people from
Yakima county and elsewhere are COM
ing prepared to stay during the entire
week. The commission gives grounds
free to families desiring to camp in
wagons or pitch tents and many have
engaged space for camps. There will
probably be more campers on the
grounds this year than for all the years
OF the past. The people are more inter-
ested and the fair is worth much more
than ever before.
Among the numerous attractions en-
gazing space for shows on the grounds
will be an exhibition OF devil fishes a
wild west show and several other tented
aggregations. The commission has en-
gagged Prof. j. f. Baldwin, the celebrat-
ed balloonist, Tor three days of the fair.
Ascensions will be made from the race
track. The horses, cattle and other
stock will be judged on the track where
fine stock parade will take place. The
applications for entry blanks and gener-
al information about exhibits would in
dictate that every section OF the state
will be represented in the various de-
partments.
Racing events promise the best attrac-
tions ever made in the state. The secre-
tary has sent out speed programs during
the week to several hundred horsemen
and entries for the fall races are coming
in fast. In addition thereare three 81 900
races and $500 race already closed.

North Yakima should follow the ex-
ample OF Cofax and build place to
rest at some convenient point in the
city. This Is just what is needed here
and nothing would show the public
spiritedness of the people to greater adj
vantage than to devise some place OF
this kind for accommodation of the
country people. At Colfax the women
took the matter in hand and as result
of little systematic soliciting ''resting
place will soon be one OF the necessities
of that city. The scheme provides a
place Tor farmers and their families to
rest while in the city if so they wish to
take advantage of any accommodations
of this kind. 1t fur Their providesa read
ing room, filed with books, and a few
daily papers, and many other things
that would add TO the comfort of those
who would have plenty OF leisure time
on their hands while in the city. Build
"resting place in North Yakima by
all means.

TRUTH OF THE MATTER.

Reports are that typhoid aud malaria fever
are prevailing to great extent in Yakima
Ellensburg Capital
Ii the above refers to North Yakima,
it is not true. Typhoid and malaria
fever are not prevalent here to an alarm
ing extent. There are comparatively
few eases of fever in the city at present,
and no deaths have occurred this year
vet from the disease. Such reports as
the above are easily accounted for. Peo-
pie have the habit OF saying that Yaki-
ma is unhealthy, not because it is UNI
healthy but because force of habit is
more prevalent than disease. The Iaki-
ma climate is among the most salubrious
climates in the world, and the reason
that Yakima gets black eye occasional
" is because ii is the "place of last re-
sort for the consumptive and other
disease afflicted people. Yakima has a
great many deaths from consumption
charged up to her. but there ism an in
stance on record to show that pioneer
or a native OF the country contracted the
disease and died from it. All such
deaths are OF the people who come here
to die. There are few cases of fever
in Yakima, it will be admitted, but in
every instance the victims are the peo-
pie who would likely be the first to con-
tract any disease in the healthiest parts
Of the earth. They have not taken the
precaution to guard against fever, and
this is the only thing that saves the hu-
man race from continual affliction, no
difference whether the climate is that OF
Carlsbad or the swamps OF Louisiana.

Passenger Trains Collide.

The westbound passenger train due
here at 7:25 a. M, but "a hours late,
ran into the eastbound passenger train
due here at p. M, at Canton on the
main line west of Hot Springs at II 80
O'Clock Wednesday morning. Aside
from demolishing the engines no serious
damage was done, and tits miracle how
a bad wreck was averted. 1t seems that
the eastbound was on the main track at
Canton waiting for the westbound to
come down the mountain and take the
siding. When the engineer OF the west
bound approached the siding the air
breaks wouldn't work, hence the acct
dent.

STRENUOUS LIFE AT
 BEAUMONT, TEXAS
Excitement of a Wall Street Panic Not Comparable
 With Oil Fever

Beaumont, Tex, June 1.-(Specia1 )-Any
 man who longs for the strenuous life may
 have his ambition quickly satisfied by
 coming to Beaumont. About two days of
 life in this town will make a Wall street
 panic seem like elegiac qufetude in com
 parison. Even the Chicago Board Of
 Trade on an occasion when corn shorts
 are being butchered to make a holiday
 for King Phillips does not offer the same
 ung-splitting and purse-wresthng possi-
 bilitfes, and why? The answer Is simple
 enough. It is found that blazoned on
 the prosperity of any a new-1edged mil-
 lionaire, that will serve as the epitaph or
 many a once ambitious fortune-the magic
 word oil.
 The symptoms of oil fever prove con- clusively that 1t is germ disease, ana
 when it's bacillus once gets into man brain it transforms him from staid and careful specimen of business conservatism to a wild -idead and irrepressible optimist who sees before him visions more rosy and aluring than those that attend the de- votee of the poppy plant. Stock specula- ton will only partly unbalance a man reason, and he may even pass through a
 mining camp boom and retain some glim- merings of mentality. but in nine cases out of ten oil will make him ravine lunatic, for whom there is no cure except astounding success or total extinction. That Is what makes Beaumont the most | interesting town in the country today | It stands for all that Cripple Creek meant
 ten years ago. or Klondike more recently with 100 per cent. added to cover the fact l that not gold but oil is the basis of this present excitement Although practically | not a barrel of oil has been marketed | from this region the promise of the future | has worked a marvellous transformation | in land values all over Southeastern
 Texas, and particularly in this town which was somnolent little city of 6.0O( inhabitants three months ago, but which now contains three times that number oi people and Is the centre of the greatest oil excitement the country has experienced since the first discoveries in the Pennsyl- vania fields.

The popular idea expressed in the phrase, vthe art of self-defense,n shows the opinion that the chief enemies man has to defend himself from are visible and external. But the real danger of every man is from minute and often in- visible foes. In the air we breathe and the water we drink are countless minute organisms leagued against the health of the body.
 The one defense against these enemies is to keep the blood pure. Dr. Perce's Golden Medical Discovery thoroughly purihes the blood, removing poisonous substances and accretions. When the blood is pure there Is no harborage for the germs of disease which find lodg. ing only when the blood is impure and corrupt.

We hear much nowadays about health foods and hygienic living. about vege- tarianism and many others fads along the same line.
 Restaurants may be found in the large cities where no meat, pastry or coffee Is served and the food crank Is in his glory, and arguments and theories galore ad- vanced to prove that meat was never fn- tended for human stomachs and almost make us believe that our sturdy ances- tors who lived four score years in robust health on roast beef pork and mutton must have been grossly ignorant of the laws of health.
 Our forefathers had other things to do than formulate theories about the food they ate. A warm welcome was ex- tended to any kind from bacon to acorns.
 A healthy appetite and common sense are excellent guides to follow in mat ters of diet and mixed diet of grains, fruits and meats is undoubtedly the
