CHINESE EXCLUSION.
Circuit Court of Appeals Says Law
Is Valid.

Cincinnati, Nov. l2.-The United
States circuit court of appeals has re-
versed the decision of Judge Wing, of
the district court at Cleveland, in the
case of Hung Chang, arrested after he
admitted he was born in China and
was without proper certificate to come
to the United States. Judge Wing held
the Chinese exclusion law to be uncon.
stitutional and released the prisoner,
whose whereabouts is now unknown.
District Attorney Sullivan carried
the case to the court of appeals here,
where he argued not only the consti-
tutiouality of the law, but also showed
that the Northern district of Ohio
might be invaded by Cinnamon if the
decision of Judge Wing stood. 1t was
argued that the case was one of i'm
portance as bearing on the deportation
of Chinese in all parts of the United
States.

REDU &C FREIGHT RATES.
Portland JObbing interests Get Con-
CeSSiOnS from O. r. IN.


Portland, Nov. 1O.-The Oregonian
makes an important announcement
affecting the jobbing interests of San
Francisco and Salt Lake mere hants in
competition with Portland dealers. 1t
is to the effect that ON Dec the Ore
gon Railroad and Navigation Company
will put into operation reduced rates
between Portland and Southern Idaho
points, ranging from to As cents per
hundred pounds, according to the class
of goods to be shipped.
This rate will put Portland mer-
chants on parity with San Francisco
and Salt Lake merchants, who for four
years have been granted rates to South
ern Idaho points which have made
them dominant in that country. San
Frsncsico shippers were granted rates
permitting them to ship into Idaho
cheaper than the Portland merchant
could import goods from that city and
reship to Idaho from this point.

Preserving Fence Posts.

The well-knOwn methods of preserv-
Ing fence posts and wood, which are
partly embedded in the earth. are only
effective when both the charring and
tarring are applied. Should the posts
only be charred. the charcoal forma-
ton on the surface would act as an alb
sorber Of the moisture. and, If any
thing, only hasten the decay. BY ap-
plying a coating of tar. without pre-
vious charming. the tar would only
form casing about the wood, and
would not penetrate to the depth
which the absorbing properties Of the
charcoaled surface would insure. Wood
that is exposed to the action Of water
or let into the ground. should first be
charred. and then. before it has entire
ly cooled. be treated with tar till the
wood is thoroughly impregnated. The
acetic acid and oils contained in the
tar are evaporated by the heat and
only the resin is left behind This pen
etrates the pores of the. wood and
forms an alright and waterproof en-
velope. 1t Is important to impregnate
the wood a little above the line Of ex-
DOSIlre.

The average farmer should buy as

The greatest profit In feeding sheep
for mutton is gained while the animals
are young.
Bran is rich in bone, and serves an
other good purpose in keeping the
bowels open.
Animals cannot thrive their best on
dry food alone, no matter how rich
and plentiful.
Brittle and rotten hoofs are caused
by horses standing in soft ammonia

Death Dealing Wire Fences
Since the use Of wire fences has be-
come so extensive the nu'Iber of cat
tie killed each year by lightning has
greatly increased. Farmers insurance
companies have investigated the mat
ter. and now come forward with a
warning to policy holders. Nearly all
Of the cattle killed by lightning have
met their death in open fields. where,
in many instances there was NOT even
tree to attract the electric fluid. As
many dead cattle We're found near
wire fences this led to the discovery
that the lightning was carried along
the wires composing the fences. Dur
ing severe storm cattle are liable to
run until stopped by fence. Here
they stand huddled together ready for
the bolt. A remedy Is suggested in
running a ground wire every ten rods
several feet into the earth.

AlASTING EFFECT
This Evidence Should Prove Every Claim Made for Doan's Kidnry
 Pills in Alaska

Relief from the pains and aches ot a bad back is always welcome to every backache sufferer; but to cure a lame, weak or aching bac is what's wanted. Cure it so it will stay cured It can be done. Here's the strongest evidence to prove it:
 W. W. Lee, painter of Willis street, near Placer street, Redding, Cal, says
 Hike the majority of men who follow my calling, if the action of the ingredients us9d in the business was not the primary cause of kidney com plaint, they certainly aggravated 1t when the attacks occurei. l do not want my friends and acquaintances in Bedding to think that Doan's Kidney Pills have radically cuaed an old chronic case of kidney complaint like mine, but this I can conscientiOusly say, the treatment undoubtedly did me a vast amount of good. Anything that helps a man whose back has ached so "
 badly that he could not sleep at night, who many and many time when at work could hardly push brush to and from him without suffering almost un- endurable twangs, is pleased to obtain a remedy which brings relief. To say that Doan's Kidney Pills relieved me, very mildly expresses the amount of benefit received from the treatment"

 'It doesn't seem to me you're called upon to fight his battles" she said.
 "Oh, I'm not fighting his battle. He did that himself and lost" he chuckled. 'I'm merely urging a little clemency on the part of his captor. I'm really sorry for Ashford-and the rest, for that matter"
 ''The rest?" she inquired.

City Council Discusses Spring Improvement

The question as to whether the city should expend the available money in the treasury on side walks or street improvement was discussed last night. While the matter went over to be con sidered more fully when it could be ascertained how much money would be available for public improvement this spring, the opinion was expressed by the committee on public works and public property that the city would not e1pend any money on the avenues, but if it was decided to fix side walks, the money would be expended upon the streets running from north to south through the town. It was be- Heved that the expense of fixing the side walks on the cross streets should be borne by the lot owners.
 The fire and water committee re- ported that the wire from the hose house to the electric light plant for alarm purposes has been installed.
 The report of the city magistrate for last month was presented, showing total receipts amounting to s366.sO. Fourteen fines had been paid.
 Several letters, received from companies engaged iu the manufacture of supplies for water systems, were read.
 On account of the absence of Council men King and Kalem the registration ordinance prepared by the city attorney was laid over till the next meeting of the council.
 J.R. VanCleve, a committee of one on dangerous wires, reported that all the dangerous dead wires on Broadway had been removed and that several poles were to be removed in addition to the one already taken out at the corner of Fifth avenue and Broadway. Mr. Van Cleye reported that the tele- phone company and the electric light company had begun 10 improve their lines by installing proper safe guards for the protection of the city.
 The committee reported unfavorably on a side walk on Twelfth avenue from State street to Alaska street.
 The matter of caring for Bob Wright, whom it is desired shall go to HOOnah hot springs on the.G Orgia, was dis cussed. Mayor Keller said that Judge Brown had agreed that if the city would guarantee SIS a month he would see that Wright was cared for. It was shown tha, sl57.66 had been collected by Dr. J p. Brawsnd for the benefit of Mir Wrigh', and it was agreed that the council would take the matterup when this fund was exhaus- ted
 All members of the council were present except Ealem md King who are out ut the city.

UNDER THE CAR

[Copyright, 1905, by T. c. McCiure.I
 There was scarcely breeze enough to rustic the leaves of the wistaria vine which shaded the piazza where Doro- thy Bennett was embroidering impossi- ble strawberries on a dolly. A small brown sparrow perched on the rail viewed the work critically for several moments and then futtered noisily away. As her eyes followed it's flight to a neighboring cherry tree she heard the front gate bang and, turning, be- held coming up the path Mir. James Dent, better known to the summer colo ny, from the most staid matron to the smallest urchin, as Jimmy.
 He came up to the veranda, stretched himself comfortably in a steamer chair and mOpped a perspiring brOG.
 "SOrter warm like, isn't itY' he said cheerfully.
 Dorothy nodded.

 "Um-m," Dent unused. "so feared" he said laconically. Doll, it's too bad. Ashford Is really a mighty nice kid, and he's taken 1t very much to heart too"
 Dorothy laid down her work rather abruptly.

When I see a young man monopolizing the society of the most charming girl in Cedarville and when suddenly said young man quits her society, puts on face like a graven image, stays much at the bar of the Country club and acts generally as if he wished the world would cave in on him, it's a pretty good indication that said young man has been proposing to said most charm ing girl and that she has-has trun him down."
 Fl can't marry every man who proposes to me-" she protested.
 "Of course not" he admitted, but you might shut them or a trihe sooner.
