SCOTS EMULSION

We don't put Scott's Emul-
sion in the class Of advertised
cure-alls; it doesn't belong
there. We hardly like to use
the word "cure" at all, but we
are bound to say that it can be
used for great many troubles
with great satisfaction. Its
special function is to repair
the waste Of the body when
the ordinary food does not
nourish, and this means that
it is useful in many cases
which are indicated by vast
ing.

Chicago, Nov. I.---The Tribune says:
Details are being worked out rapidly

road trust beside which all the other
great trusts heretofore organized II
this country will dwindle into insignif-
icance.
A dozen eastern financiers headed by
the Standard Oil interests, with their
unlimited wealth, expect to control the
entire railroad system in The country
and prevent competition among the
various roads.
The plan Is to divide the railroads
Of the country into a few groups or
systems, each one Of which is to own
substantial interest In the stocks
and securities of every other big group
or system, and all to have representa-
ton on each others board OF direc-
tors.

of about o00,0OO,O00 in stocks and
bonds.
They will see to 1t that the roads
are managed as economically as posi-
BILE and the rates kept VI to as high
a figure as the traffic will hear in order
to secure oil the revenue necessary to
pay good dividends on tt enormous
capitalization.
The recouping of systems, which has
been going on for some time, has not
yet been completed, but from present
indications the western roads will be
divided into about six systems, the
eastern into three or four, with the
southern and New England lines form
ing a separate system each.

TYPHOID FEVER EXISTS
NEAR CLOVER CREEK

Persistent digging has resulted in estab-
fishing the fact that typhoid fever exists
near the source of the Tacoma water sup
ply.
DR.. Stewart, surgeon for the Columbia
Improvement company at Electron, re-
ports a case from the neighborhood of
Brookland, which is close to Clover creek.
The man came to Electron suffering from
the disease and was later sent by the Co
lumbia Improvement company to the Fan
ME Paddock hospital in this city, where
he died from the disease.
Dr. Stewart could not inform The Times
of the patients name or give the exact
date of his removal to the hospital. An
examination of the hospital records from
the first of September down to the present
time. however, discloses the fact that the
only case from that neighborhood was
that of John Moen, who was sent to the
hospital by the Columbia Improvement
company December 8, suffering from ty-
phod fever. The case terminated fatally
December 81.
In the opinion of physicians, one case
near the source Of Clover creek could con
taminate the water. The statement is also
made that even now there are typhoid
fever cases in the neighborhood of Clover
creek although that is denied by persons
living in that vicinity

OFFICIALS ENFORCE
MARINE LAWS

PORT TOWNSEND, Feb. Y.-In accord
ance with the statement given out a few
days ago that the law regarding the proper
equipment of vessels would be rigidly en-
forced in these waters from that time
forward, Collector of Customs G. w. Ide
has assessed fines on number of vessels
which had been examined on Saturday and
found deficient in this respect.
Early Saturday morning the steamers
Garland and Prosper were boarded by
Lieutenant Munter of the revenue tug Ar
cata, and upon his report on the condition
of their equipment a fine of $500 was as
essed against each vessel.
The boats were found to be not properly
equipped with apparatus for extinguishing
fire, the life raft was not marked to show
how many persons it was supposed to car
ry, the boat falls, painters and Hfeboats
themselves were found to be in bad con-
dition.
The steamers Whatcom and Alice Ger
trude were both boarded but no fines were
assessed against them. Both vessels were
reported to the local inspectors of hu1s
and boilers on account of deficiency in
the means of escape from one deck to the
other near the stern. In fact, there was
no such arrangement at ALL

SHERIFF ARRESTS
MONTANA DEFAULTER

Theodore H. Fisher. wanted in Missoula.
Mont. for embezzling about $500 from
secret order, was arrested yesterday by
Sheriff Denholm. Fisher was financial sec
rotary of the Sons of Herman, and also
secretary of several labor organizations in
that city. He was a baker by trade
and worked for the Garden City bakery in
Missoula. As he was regarded as thor
oughly upright man, no one took the trou-
bic to investigate or audit his books for
some time after he left town. Previous
to his disappearance he was the leader
of the party which bitterly opposed The
Chinese population of the Montana city.
and it was genrally believed at the time
of his disappearance that he had been
done away with by highbinders The Chi
nese quarter of the town was searched.
but no trace of him could be found
In the meantime, a member of the Sons
of Herman suggested that the lodge books
be audited to see if they were correct The
result of the investigation was startling
in the extreme and explained the reason
for Fishers disappearance. Circulars We're
sent all over the country describing FISHER.
and it was upon this description that the
officers here made the arrest.
Sheriff Thompson of Missoula left there
last night for Helena to get requisition
papers from the governor of Montana upon
the governor of this state, and will be
here soon to take the prisoner back with
him, if he proves to be the right man.
Fisher is a stubborn fellow and maintains
stolid silence when questioned regarding
the charge lodged against him.

AN ACCUSED MAN, EMBRACED
BY HIS WIFE, FALLS IN A FIT

There was sort of general mix-up in
Chief Packers office when j. n. Jones.
who was arrested last night. fell in fit
while having a conference with his wife.
Jones was brought in from the lookup and
as he came into the office the woman EN-
braccd him and gave him one of those
long, lingering, gurgiing kisses that are
supposed to be only used when he says
goodbye at the front gate on summer
night. As their lips parted the man shud-
dered convulsively and fell on the floor
in fit. The woman's scream brought the
officers around the station into the room
and the combined knowledge of the re-
serve force in first aid to the injured
was put forth in an effort to restore him
to consciousness. He soon recovered sufti-
GENTLY to be taken back to his cell. al
though he seemed very weak. The officers
say the man has been drinking heavily
and that his temporary forced abstinence
brought on a whisky fit.
Jones was arrested about 8 o'clock last

night on a warrant from King county for
jumping board bill in Seattle. His
chances, however. for being held on
more serious charge are good. for he has
been identified by one citizen as the man
who passed bogus checks in Tacoma a
couple of weeks ago
When arrested he was rugged out in the
regulation bicycle suit, golf stockings and
all. Although his garb had been changed,

POLICE RAID A
GAMBLING DEN

SEATTLE. Feb 9.-rhe first gambling
raid under the new felony law took place
last evening when Detectives Hubbard
and Freeman and Patrolman Roesler and
Keith arrested eight men from the rear
room of the "Charley's Mug saloon on
King street, near Sixth avenue south. A
needle layout, with the cash on the green
cloth, was confscated at thes time o. the
arrest
The game, which the arresting officers
and members of the department charac-
terize as no more nor less than the ancient
game of buneo, was running in connection
with an alleged dime museum. rassersby
were drawn in by the stentorian tones of
booster, and when they went to see the
petrified man, came in contact with the
needle.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1904-02-09

Saturday night he appeared again at the
store of Dege 4 Miner. not as the honest
toiler he represented himself to be at the
time OF his first visit. but in the role of a
globe trotter, and clad in his bicycle suit
He went to Mr.. William w. Miner. a
member of the firm, and represented him
self to be making a tour of the world fo1
the New York World So plausible was
his story that he worked Mr. Miner for
small amount of goods out of the store,
50 in cash and copy for an advertisement
of the firm that was to appear in his
write-up of the trip in the New York
paper. So, even if the charge of passing
the bogus checks should not stick, he is
in for term for obtaining money under
false pretenses.
Jones is not a stranger in this part of
the country. He is a trick bicycle rider
and has given exhibitions here and in Sc
attic. He claims to be "Diablo." the loop
the-loop artist who was such an attraction
last summer. That part of his story is
doubtful, though he bears some resem-
blance to that celebrity.
The woman who is with him and claims
to be his wife is tall and not bad looking.
They were married, she says, in New York
three years ago.
Jones was arrested last night at the
Donnely hotel. He came there with his
wife on the fifth of the month. and though
he did not appear to have much money.
paid for his meals and his bill at the
bar.
After his arrest on the warrant from
Seattle his wife said that he had no money,
but could get some if he could only get a
check cashed

convicted in the federal court last week
of selling liquor to Indians, and who on
Saturday threw pepper in the eyes of Dep
uty Marshal Short of Yakima county
while the latter was conducting him to the
county jail, paid dearly for his conduct
yesterday. when Judge Hanford gave him
the maximum sentence allowed by law
Smith will serve ten years at McNeil's
island.
In passing sentence Judge Hanford did
not allude directly to the attempted es-
cape of Saturday, but announced that he
was convinced that Smith had deliberately
chosen a career of crime.
