concerning property distribution to
constitute the chief ground Of the
fight.
] Spokane lawyers have certainly
been busy. 1t is quasi agreement
for lawyers to charge a fee Of $50
for securing divorce where there
is no contest. Some of the lawyers
under take cases for that sum and
ask for court costs in addition. Some
have been known to cut the price
and also waive payment Of costs. But
in some of the big cases there have
been handsome fees. The majority Of
the cases are said to have been gone
through with cost to the plaintiff
of but little more than $50.

OF which contracts were awarded last
fall. but have not yet started on an
other 20 grading contracts that were

that the contractors bidding on city
work seem unable to complete the
work they have already undertaken.

Typhoid Fever Serum.

\ typhoid antitoxin serum invented
by DR.. Allen Macfayden and endorsed
by no less person than Lord Lister Is
the latest medical discovery. DR..
Nac'ayden is the Director OF the Jen-
ner Institute of Preventive Medicine.
Briefly stated, DR.. Macfayden's dis
covery consists in this: He has found
that by crushing the cells OF the
typhoid bacillus in liquid air, the IN
tercellular juices are not only obtained
without living organisms. but are also
rendered highly toxic. When injected
into living animals. these juices pro
duce blood serum which acts as an
antidote against the poison generated
by the typhoid bacillus. The novel
feature in this process is the Use OF
liquid air, the function OF which Is
not fully understood a yet.

A GHOST STORY.

The other night as | was walking
around looking up business, I met an
old German. His silver hair showed
that he had se>n many winters. l
found him very interesting, for he
told me ghost story. and will give
II to you a. it vas told TO me. In the
provence OF the western border of
Austria. where the old gentleman
lived some fifty years ago, a regiment
OF soldiers were quartered, and had a
large magazine of powder for the
guard to stand sentinel over. In those
days the young men had to serve
three years military duty before they
could be released and become bust
ness men for themselves, but those who
could furnish their own clothes, feed
and horses could get of with one
years enlistment. Most every SEN
tinel that was on post at the powder
magazine had been frightened and ran
away, calling for the guard. 1t became
such common thing for soldiers to
desert their posts that the command
ing officer court martia!ed some, and
one was sentenced to death, but that
did not stop lone sentinel from rum
as he brought his horse and everything
complete he had only one year to
; erve. His name was Adolph Pick.
The commanding officer asked him il
ba would Hnsart his and his plv
was "No Sir, Never" He was placed
with a gun in his hands and told to
challenge anything that appeared on
his beat, or around the powder house.
A bout l o'clock at night a tall, white
ghost came out and walked in full view.
At the same time sparks of unnatural
flame and fire came from lis eyes and
person but the soldier was true to his
word, and called, who goes there ?"
Only a cold, unearthly laugh with a
Again he called, but still the ghost
advanced, when off went the gun, and
down fell the ghost. The guard came
and found the colonel OF the regiment
dead at their feet. The colorel had
plenty of fun with the poor recruits,
but he paid dearly for it. In the morn
ing the whole garrison was called out
on parole, and the commanding officer
read to the batillion that Adolph Pick
was promoted for doing his duty and
for bravery, and all the soldiers who
had been found guilty OF leaving their
posts were released and returned to
duty. | bid my old German friend
good night. but | could not help think

one time too many with recruit.

Gently he made arrangements with the
cattle sanitary board of Arizona re-
gard ing shipping of cattle from other
{ states into Arizona. The board gave
/ him permission TO do so provided he
built corraIs at Clifton and a slaughter
house. and would keep the cattle 10
the cOrrals, not letting any OF them
get out on the range. At an expense
OF about thousand dollars this was
done. This shipment OF cattle was
the second made since these cOrrals
were built, and the board tried TO stop
thi, shipment, and has forbidden his
bringing in any more. To man up a
tree it looks a. though the board was
trying - force the Clifton people to
buy me alfalfa fed stock from Phoenix.
which j. much more expensive and no
better than can be bought in other
places, outside the territory. II the
Clifton butchers are denied the p-ivi-
Iege OF bringing in cattle from other
states it viii simply mean that the
people OF Clifton will have to live on
the output OF the packing houses, and
the alfalfa ring at Phoenix will be no

feel 20 hard about it if he saw any way
to get back the money he expended on
