MONEY IN THE
BLACK SAND

Mr.. w. j. Shaw Of Cincinnati, formerly
secretary OF the board of trade of that
city, is in Tacoma. Interviewed by The
Times, he had substantially the following
to say of the purpose Of his visit. Il was
on the coast last June and spent some
time at Grays Harbor, studying the black
sand deposit there and the surrounding
conditions. | took some of it back to Gin
cinnati, which you know is center of
iron industry and smelling operations.
You perhaps know that the sand carries
some Ia per cent of magnetic and about
the same per cent of non-magnetic oxide
of irony Well, the results are that the
company of which / am president has
secured 25-year lease Of the entire de-
post, perfected electro magnetic machines
for its recovery at about 10 per cent of
the cost OF mining ordinary ore and plac-
ing it on the dump; devised a cheap and
simple eentripetal vacuum pump furnace,
suited to the material, and determined, 1
believe, all the factors involved
II am in Tacoma because | understand
that her founders consume a consid-
cradle quantity OF pig iron, and may be
interested in the following facts; This
finely divided material contains neither
sulphur, phosphorus nor titanium, and it
ordinary ore; il requires only from to 10
per cent Of the flux required for ordinary
ore and one-iifth the smelter space. A
plant can be installed at not to exceed
one-hfth the cost demanded by ordinary
ore, and owing to the wood supply on
the ground and other conditions SUI
perior iron can be production a basis
of handling 300 cubic yards of sand daily
at cost of about $3,40 per ton, which is
little more than one-third the cost at
which iron now is or ever has been pro-
duced in the United States. We believe
this TO be ony deposit on this coast, or
elsewhere, under the peculiar conditions
rendering such a result possible. / am
here for a few days to determine whether
the founders and citizens want to control
the product of this deposit, which | con
ceive would be of great advantage to your
city, and phenomenally profitable to par
ties interested in the enterprise"

was covered with the revolvers of the
men whom he had noticed few minutes
before. He uttered an exclamation of
surprise just as Langworth, his fireman,
came running around the front of the en-
CINE. The fireman had been attracted by
the noise and when he ran around to see
what was the matter he had the lighted
torch in his hand. He rushed directly at
the robbers, who were put to flight by
the sudden appearance OF the man with
the light.
The place where the attempted hold
up occurred is a somewhat deserted
spot. 1t would have been an easy matter
for the thugs to have taken charge of the
engine and run it out on the prairie, where
the passengers and mail coach could have
been robbed at leisure.
After the bandits had disappeared the
train was run to Lakeview, where an in
coming freight was met. A report of
the attempted robbery was made to the
crew of that train and brought to Tacoma.
There is no trace of the men who at
tempted the robbery, but they are believed
to be hoboes who have infested that Sec
ton of the country for some time.

FOR A BABY

If story told on the waterfront today
is true a Gig Harbor family quarrel came
near resulting in the drowning of 3-year-
old baby yesterday. According to the
story, young man named Kennedy was
contesting with his father-in-law, Shyleen,
over the younger mans child.
Kennedy and his wife had been separat-
ed and the baby was in his care in Ia
coma. As the story goes the grandfather
of the child came to Tacoma yesterday
and got the baby. He took it back to
Gig Harbor where Kennedy followed him
later in the day.
Kennedy, it is said, took the child and
left the Shyleen home with it. On float
in the harbor the older man overlook him
in a boat. They struggled for possession
of the child and eventually both of the
men, with the baby, fell into the water
1t required all the strength of the younger
man, it is said, to get the two Others
out of the water. The child is now in
possession of its father.

Race Prejudice and Iowa Views.


| Cedar Falls Uowa) Record.
We are inclined to lay all race pre-
JUDGE at the door of our southern
brother. We tantalize him and accuse
him of being unduly prejudiced and
alphabetically opposed to the up
lifting of the colored population. He
tells us that we do not rightly Judge
him, and maintains that he has much
more charity and patience with the
black people than has the north. In
view OF recent occurrences we are i'll
clined to accept this statement as a
truthful presentation of the subject.
We are quite sure that we people in
| the north have not a ust conception
of the conditions us they really exist
in the south and when the people OF
| the north stand face to face with
trying problems that here and there
come to the surface they manifest less
humanity if possible than do the
southern people.
This is especially suggestive just at
this time when the officials of the
states of Illinois and Indiana are
holding secret sessions, endeavoring
to formulate some plan whereby a
better understanding may obtain
between the white and colored races
in those states. When it is stated
that there is today a greater danger
from race war in the two northern
states than in any of the southern
states it becomes apparent that we
people of the north do not fully COM
prehend the situation and that in
the place of constantly upbraiding
our southern brethren we ought really
to be endeavoring to adjust difficult
ties that exist outside of the legiti-
| mate home of eX-slaves and their
| descendants. Place the north in the
| same relation with the colored man
that exists in the south and a worse
| condition of affairs would speedily
develop. The question is the great
est problem before the American peo-
pie today.

PAID BILL AND SLEPT.
Account that Had Been Standing Since
1877 Kept Woman Awake Nights.

New York Herald
After suffering from insomnia for
twentv-seven years because her con-
science was burdened with an unpaid
grocery bill, an EnglewOod On. J.)
woman determined to obtain sleep
even if it cost her $50. After hand
ing over a check for that amount she
retired early and slept soundly until
10 O'Clock the next morning.
The woman once lived in East
Orange, n. j., and had an account
with f. B. Gonzales, who conducted
large grocery business. When he
died in 1877, he had many accounts
outstanding on his books, and the
bill against this woman was one OF
them. His widow moved to Illinois
and the debtor to another New Jer-
sey town. But the latter was not
happy. If she dropped into a doze,
round packages of tea and firkins OF
butter seemed to lie like scale
weights upon her troubled breast.

had not paid for was ever i'll her

The Chattanooga Medicine Company, with
laboratories and general offices at Chatta-

come one OF the largest proprietary medicine
concerns in the world. In the growth of this
great business two factors have been dOmi-
nant: The merit OF it's products-Wine of
Cardui and ThedfOrds Black-Draug ht-has
been widely recognized and the original ad-
vertisng methods adopted have excited great
comment. The publicity for these medicines
does not consist OF the catch phrase and ex-
travagant statement, too often employed in
advertising to-day but instead the plain
story of experience with the medicines given

selves. The following letter is a fair sample
of the thousands OF Wine OF Cardui testimo-

The Heart Not the Chief Vital Orqan.

The stomach, not the heart, il the vital
center of the human body. What affects the
stomach affects every organ of the body be
cause from the stomach comes the nutrition
which sustains life. If by reason of disease
the digestive and assimulative processes OF
the stomach and it's allied organs are i'm
paired, that means the impairment of every
organ OF the body which must suffer from
diminished sustenance.
1t is a remarkable fact that people trife
with the stomach as with no other physical
organ. They let it grow weak" know that
its functions are failing and will do little OF
nothing to cure themselves. Let symptoms
OF disease manifest themselves in the heart
liver, kidneys, or lungs, and there is instant
anxiety. They begin to ''dOctOr' for weak
heart, liver ''trouble,' kidney trouble" OF
lung trouble" as the case may be. And
still they neglect stomach trouble which il
probably the cause of the disorder of other
organs. That is the reason why SO MANY
people ''dOctOr' without success for diseases
OF heart, liver, kidneys. lungs, etc. They arc
entirely neglecting the cause of disease which
is in the stomach and which results in phys
zeal weakness because of lack of nutrition
And az the body, as whole. is made un O.
its several organs and members, it is evident
that physical weakness, in general, means
weakness distributed among the several or
gans of the body, heart, liver. kidneys and
lungs each bearing its share. If there is spe
clal predlSpOSltIOn to any one organ, that or
gan will probably be the first to develor
symptoms of disease.
The reason why DR.. Pierce's Golden Medica
Discovery cures so many various diseases is
that so many diseases have their origin in dis
ease OF the stomach and other organs of d
gestiOn and nutrition. When the diseased
stomach is cured, diseases of heart liver kid
neys, lungs, etc, caused by disease of the
stomach are also cured.
The reason why Golden Medical Discovery
cures when doctors have failed and Other
medicines have been tried in vain, is because
the ordinary medical treatment ignores the
stomach, while DR.. Pierce's Golden Medica
Discovery begins by the cure of diseases o.
this vital center and progresses to the cure O
diseases OF other organs remote from the
stomach but Influenced by it and dependen,
upon IL.
Remember that food is the material thai
sustains life but only when it is perfectly di
gested and assimilated. 1t is by curing tn,
