SENATOR TURNER AND THE TRUSTS.

Senator George Turner struck popu-
lar chord in his labor day speech at Spo-
kane on Monday, Sept. l, when he said
he was with the president in his efforts
to control the trusts. Along this line
the senator said:
This struggle now going on in
| Pennsylvania and West Virginia is
,but the beginning of still greater
Fstruggle, the struggle OF the Ameri-
can people against economic condi-
tions to which no free people will long
submit. The fight in the east is the
| fight OF labor against the coal trusts. 1t
is but the beginning of the great fight of
all the people against the monopolistic
oppression OF all the trusts. The extent
to which combination has gone in this
country and the absolute power which it
/ has placed in the hands of capital to
control not only the prices of commod-
/ tiles, but the prices of labor as we'll, is
not dreamed OF by the ordinary man.
! But | tell you they are all formed for the
/ purpose of putting down the wages of
labor, and they are all bad, wholly and
entirely and irretrievably bad.
1t is time for the American people to
throw off their easy going, optomistic
complaisance and to become the men
that their fathers were. The latter
never hesitated if necessary, to make
things worse for time that ultimately
they might become better for all time.
''If these captains OF industry, as their
friends call them, who manufacture for
Europe at European prices, will not
manufacture for US as cheaply but con-
tinue to insist on unjust national laws
under which they can milk us at pleas
ure and to any extent desired, let us
stop them.
"A vigorous and honest man is what
we need in the White House to-day.
am not certain but what we have him
there. If our honored president shall
follow his present excellent professions
with energetic performance no man will
give him more hearty, loyal, enthusiast
tic support in that work than will"
The above is entirely in keeping with
the senators policy in congress. No
representative of the people has been
more outspoken against the wrongs that
are being impressed upon the land than
has Senator Turner. Likewise has he
with the same master hand advocated
the reforms that have been brought be-
fore congress regardless of the party
proposing them. Senator Turner has
proven himself man OF the people and
the state OF Washington should deem il
a mighty privilege to have him again
its senatorial representative.

Walla country are now doing the same
thing. What boon it would be to the
people OF Yakima if they could have a
'straw day." or as straw is not as plen-
tiful here as in other agricultural re-
gions, "sagebrush day" for road inn
provement. There would be no prettier
drives in the world than is afforded here
if the roads were goodI but as conditions
are it is a hardship rather than a pleas
ure to drive anywhere off the macada-
mixed city streets. The nature of the
soil in the Yakima valley precludes the
possibility OF making good roads with
the soil alone; it must be supplemented
with some other substance to make a
solid bed; straw or brush laid on thickly
would be tremendous help, and until
such time as the county is rich enough
to macadamize its roads, the farmers,
for their own convenience, should take
concerted action along the lines sug

WHAT THE COUNTY SHOULD HAVE.

After Saturday next the campaign in
Yakima county will be on. The repub-
icans have held their convention and
placed in the field full ticket, likewise
the socialists. On Saturday the demo-
Gratis will meet in convention to place
before the people list of candidates for
the respective county Offices. Between
them the county surely ought to have
good men to represent their interests IN
the various positions OF trust and res
possibility. That is what the people
want, not good republicans or good dem
ocrats or good partisans, but good and
efficient men.
THE HERALD has heretofore stated
that it expects to use its influence in the
election of the best men regardless OF
party in the matter of county affairs.
This it proposes to adhere to. 1t be-
hooves the democrats to have a care in
the naming of a ticket next Saturday
and if it would gain the votes OF indie
pendent, selfrespecting people it must
name candidates that are not alone
fitted by experience for the offices, but
who stand for the higher ideals that
make up good government-honesty and
morality.
There are no party issues at stake in
this campaign, consequently it will be a
contest between men. 1t should be
thus in the matter of country affairs
and the best should be the victors.

The people of this city should take
the matter NJ and endeavor to secure a

and an officer is needed before things
get beyond control. On this subject
Agent jay Lynch has written sharp
letter, which is printed on another page.

A STRONG STATEMENT.

Star, Wis, Feb. 10th.-Mr Samuel S.
Hook, one of the most highly respect

given very hearty recommendation
to Dodd's Kidney Pills, 6 remedy re-
Gently introduced here. He says:
II have been a sufferer from Kidney
Disease for some time and found
nothing to help me till I began to use
Dodd's Kidney Pills. They gave me
almost immediate relief, and I am

to many friends and in every case
with splendid results.
"They are the very best pills for all
kinds of ailments, but especially for
Kidney Complaints"
This is very strong statement, and
coming from a gentleman of Mr..
Hooks standing and reputation, it
has had tremendous influence in

REFLECTIONS OF A SICK MAN.

When the doctor comes, he always
laughs at you.
The neighbors never worry about
your illness as much as you thought
they would.
People come around the house you
never saw before; the milk man, the
ice man, the wash woman.
When you are hungry you are
ashamed to acknowledge it, and, if
your nurse is very particular, you
are liable to suffer from hunger.
When there is knock on the door,
you think it is an inquiring friend,
and try to look as pale and wan as
possible, and then discover that it is
little girl who wants to borrow
butter.

Women are naturally more suscept-
ible to inclemencies of the weather
than men. With them a cold is often
the starting point of some severe
pelvic arrangement, causing much
pain and suffering.
Every woman needs a remedy upon
which she can rely to keep her system
fortified against the trying weather of
winter and early spring. If Peruna is
taken at the first symptom of a cold it
will cure it before it develops into
some annoying catarrhal arrangement.

ONER, QUIETLY.
just and perfect place. Whips cracked, ,
and men tainted with the labor, but
so soon as one was incapable another
pressed forward into his place. No
delay was brooked when Phorenice had
said her wish.
And finally as the square began to fill
with people come to cape at the pa
geant of to-day, the clippings and the
scaffolding were cleared away, and
with it the bodies of some half-score
of workmen who had died from acct
building, and there stood the throne,
splendid in it's carvings, and all ready
for completion. The lower part stood
more than two man-heights above the
ground, and no stone of it's courses
weighed less than 20 men; the upper
part was double the weight of any of
these, and was carved so that the
royal snake encircled the chair and the
great hooded head overshadowed it..
But at present the upper part was not
on its bed, being held up high by lift
ing-rams, for what purpose all me =
knew.
It was to face this scene, then, that
I came out from the royal pyramid at
the summons of the chamberlains in
the cool of next morning. Each great
man who had come there before me
had banner-bearers and trumpeters to
proclaim his presence; the middle
classes were in all their bravery of ap-
parel; and even poor squalid creatures,
with ribs Of hunger showing through
their dusky skins, had turbans and
wisps of color wrapped about their
heads to mark the gayety of the day.
The trumpets proclaimed my COM
ing, and the people shouted welcome;
and, with the gorgeous chamberlains
walking backward in advance, went
across to a scarlet awning that had
been prepared, and took my seat upon
the cushions beneath it.
And then came Phorenice, my bride
that was to be that day, fresh from
sleep, and gorgeous in her splendid
beauty. She was borne out from the
pyramid in an open litter of gold and
ivory by fantastic savages from Eu-
rope, her own refinement of feature
being thrown up into all the higher
relief by contrast with their british
ugliness. One could hear the people
draw deep breath of delight as their
eyes first fell upon her; and it is easy
to believe there was not man in that
crowd which thronged the square who
did not envy me her choice, nor was
there q soul present UNLESS Ylga was

CHAPTER XII.


THE BURY1NG ALIVE OF MATS.
There is no denying that the wishes
of Phorenice were carried into quick
effect in the city of Atlantis. Her mod
ern theory was that the country and all
therein existed only for the good of
the empress, and when she had desire,
no cost could possibly be too great
in its carrying out.
She had given forth her edict con-
corning the burying alive of Nais, and
though the words were that I was to
build the throne of stone, it was an
understood thing that the manual la
Dor was to be done for me by others.
Heralds made the proclamation in
every ward of the city, and masons,
laborers, stonecutters, sculptors, en-
gineers and architects took hands from
whatever was occupying them for the
moment, and FASTENED to the rendez-
vous. The architects chose chief who
gave directions, and the lesser archi-
tects and the engineers saw these car
ried into effect. Any material within
the walls of the city on which they set
their seal was taken at once without
payment or compensation; and as the
blocks of stone they chose were the
most monstrous that could be got,
they were forced to demolish no few
buildings to give them passage.
l have before spoken of the modern
rage for erecting new palaces and pyra-
mids, and, even though at the moment
an army Of rebels was battering with
war engines at the city walls, the
building guilds were steadily at work,
and their skill with Phorenice's mar
velous invention to aid them) was con-
stantly on the increase. True, they
could not move such massive blocks of
stone as those which the early gods
planted for the sacred circle of our
Lord the Sun, but they had got rams
and trucks and cranes which could
handle amazing bulks.
The throne was to be erected in the
open square before the royal pyramid.
Seven tiers of stone were there for a
groundwork, each a knee-height deep,
and each cut in the front with three
steps. In the uppermost layer was a
cavity made to hold the body of Nais,
and above this was poised the vast
block which formed the seat of the
throne itself.
Throughout the night, to the light
of torches, relay after relay of the
stone-cutters and the masons and the
sweating laborers had toi.ed over
bringing up the stone and dressing it
into fit shape, and laying it in due po-
sition; and the engineers had built ma
chimes for lifting, and the architects
had proved that each stone lay in it's

So I bowed gravely before the en-
press, and said I: "In this, as in all
other things where mere human
hand is potent, will carry out your
wishes, Phorenice." And she on her
part patted my arm, and fresh waves
of feeling welled up from the depths
of her wondrous eyes. Surely the
gods won for her half her schemes
and half her battles when they gave
Phorenice her shape, and her voice,
and the matters which lay within the
outlines of her face.

The Arkansas river got spunky yester-
