Consumption

The only kind Of consump,
ton to fear is neglected
consumption"
People are learning that con,
sumption is a durable disease.
1t is neglected consumption
that is so often incurable.
AT the faintest suspicion OF
consumption get a bottle OF
SCOTS Emulsion and begin
regular doses.
The use Of SCOTS Emulsion
at once, has, in thousands OF
cases, turned the balance in
favor of health.
Neglected consumption does
not exist where SCOTS Emut
sion is.
Prompt use of SCOTS Emul

THE NEW FOREST FIRE LAW
State Regulations Governing Burning of
Slashings, Etc!

State Regulations Governing Burning of
Slashings, Etc!
At their adjourned meeting next
week the county commissioners, acting
as a board of deputy forest fire wardens
under the new law, will doubtless fix
a "close season during which no per-
son. shall burn any slashing or chop
ping" without first obtaining the
boards permission, and "such permis-
sion shall be given only upon comph-
ance with such regulations as the board
may prescribe, one of which regula-
tions shall be notice to all owners or
tenants of adjoining lands residing
thereon, giving time and place of the
proposed burning" The law provides
for the appointment of deputies to pa
troll their respective districts and fur
ther provides that "any person refus-
Ing to render needed assistance when
called upon for such assistance by any
patrolman or deputy forest fire warden
shall be punished by fine of not less
than SIS nor more than $50, and stand
committed until the fine imposed is
paid"
The law provides adequate penalties
and means of enforcement. Attention
is especially directed to the following
provisions:
"Any person who shall on any land
within this state set and leave any fire
that shall spread and damage or de-
stroy property of any kind not his own
shall be punished by fine of not less
than $40 nor more than $500. If such
fire be set or left maliciously, whether
on his own or other lands, with intent
to destroy property not his own, he
shall be punished by fine of not less
than $50 nor more than 81 900, or i'm
prisonment of not less than one mont h
nor more than one year. or by both
such fine and Imprisonment, and shall
be liable for damages in civil suit.n.
"Sec H. Nothing in this act shall
be construed to prevent any person
owning land, or person or persons en-
ployed by him, from burning stumps,
logs, drift or brush heaps when such
are burned in small quantities, isolated
from other fnflammable material, un-
der personal supervision, and such
other safeguards as shall prevent said
fire from spreading"

the salmon banks, gave the nerves Of
the British buyers little jar by Offer
ing l6 cents per fish, though not very
desirous of getting many at that price.
The other buyers, however, were forced
to "see the raisen or not get fish. And
they not only saw it, but went the
local buyers two cents better Tues
day and at Is cents are are now getting
much the greater portion of the fish sold.
So the war goes on and the swarthy faces
of the Observation-Disclosures, Greeks,
Syrians and Siavonians mostly, light
up with new joy with each raise in
price. They have had rather lizard
luck" thus far this season and feel CON-
siderably discouraged. While still
hopeful that there may yet be q fair
run they fear that if there is 1t will
come with such rush that they will
not have time to make many good
hauls Most of them have been on the
banks over month and have not yet
made enough to pay expenses. Tues
day two outfits had their seines caught
and considerably damaged upon sunk
en- piles into which big spikes had been
driven. The piles are said to have heen
driven by the trapmen to keep the
seiuers from working too near the
traps. A good deal of ill feeling is
manifested on both sides. Complaints
have been made that some of the Brit
ish steamers have violated customs
regulations In securing fish, but on the
other hand it is claimed that they have
done nothing that they have not been
allowed to do in former years. The
fishermen are anxious that no restric-
lions be imposed upon the foreign
steamers that would hamper the opera
tons of the buyers for the Fraser pack
ers, for they say that if it were not for
the foreign competition they could get
little or nothing for their fish.

CONFESS CRIME
Sensational Develo o.
ments in Grand
Rapids Scandal.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Dec. 4.-The
most interesting features of the water
Doodle scandal to-day were the confess
sions of ex-Alderman Ghysels of the
Sixth Ward, and c. Bissell, former
member of the Board of Public Works,
that they accepted bribes mentioned
by Salisbury in his confession.
Late this afternoon Alderman Ghy-
sells went to Assistant Prosecuting At
torney Wards and made a statement of
the doodle transactions, acknowledge
ing that he accepted an envelope from
Salisbury containing $500.
This confession was followed in few
minutes by the appearance of Bissell,
who also made statement of his con-
nection with the deal, acknowledging
that he had accepted $500, and otherwise
corroborating Salsbury's statements
that he had approached the members
of the Council with the Doodle propo-
sition. Both Ghysels and Bissell in
formed the prosecutor that they will
plead guilty in the Superior Court to-
morrow.
EX-Alderman Lozier of the Eleventh

ised to be in court tomorrow.

MURDERED BABY TOSSED
INTO A MINE SHAFT
Butte Miners Make a Grewsome Dis
covery in Well About to
Be Closed.

BUTTE, Mont, Dec. 4-The body of
a recently born boy was found in the
bottom of a 150-foot shaft by two min
ers this afternoon. The sleeves of a
womans waist were tied tightly about
the child's neck, showing that the lit
tie one had been strangled to death
before being thrown into the shaft The
boy was wrapped in a mans soft shirt
and a suit of woman's underwear BY
a singular coincidence the remains
were discovered several hours after
they had been cast away, as blood was
still clotted on the corpse Had the
perpetrators of the crime waited sew
eral hours the abandoned shaft would
have been closed by miners, with little
chance of the tragedy ever becoming
known. This was the first time the
shaft had been entered within a year
and the miners desired to see the bot
tom before closing the property.
