Does Not Go Into Hysterla.

MT. Martin said he was not one who went into hysteria every time the word trust was mentioned. The trust had come to stay. The question was will they let the rest of us stay?' He believed big monopoly existed in one of the food pro ducts which had been Investigated by the department of commerce and labor in &C., cordance with his resolution.
 ''You ought to get over on this side, ' said MT. Stephens. addressing MT. Martin. Mir Martin was frequently applauded OH both sides of the chamber.
 MT. Dobbins, republican of Indiana, closed general debate on the bill. He charged that a monopoly of the coal busi7 ness existed in the Indian Territory and that 600oO people in that territory had no redress. The urgent matter should be investigated by the department of com merce and labor.
 The house at 5:30 D. m. adjourned until

LARGE TRANSFER HOUSE
TO BE ERECTED

Arrangements have been COM
pleted for securing the necessary site
on the grounds where the potatoe
ware house formally stood close to the
Northwestern depot for the erection
Of a large transfer house. The Cen
tralia Hardware Company haye been
figuring for several months to secure
lease of this property and they have
finally been successful.
In the near future a building will
be erected on this site 40xl00 feet,
two stories high and complete in every
detail The building will be con-
structed either of solid brick or of
concrete blocks. Mr.. Nash feels quite
favorable to the latter material and
thinks quite likely that concrete
building will be decided upon. This
building will not only :till long felt
want for the Centralia Hardware
Company, but will add much to the
general appearance of that part of the
city and will be in keeping with the
many other good and substantial
buildings recently erected in the
neighborhood of the depots.
1t is hoped that in the near future
that the st. Paul Railroad Company
will find it convenient and agreeable
to erect new depot one tliat will be
in keeping with the large amount OF
business they are doing in our city.
If the west side should continue to
make the same amount of improve
mentS in the next two years that they
made in the past two, the east side
will be compelled to adopt some new
tactics in order to keep pace with hel
better half across the river.

RETURNED FROM EUROPE

Geo. B. Mcmillan and his neice
Mary B. Mcmillan returned from
Scotland Thursday. They report
having very pleasant time. They
were absent about two months, spend
ing short time in England, the bal
ance in Scotland. They were impressed
with the substantial appearance of
the country as the buildings are con-
structed entirely of brick and stone.
They were favorably impressed with
London and found much of interest
in that great city. They were on the
water eight days on their return trip
and while Europe is pleasant place
for a summers visit, as home, Amer
ica is much more preferable.

HOME COMING

The summer has come and gone-we
have most of US had our vacation,
excitement is dead, peace reigns. We
may sit down and count our pennies
and rejoice. It is time to count the
cost as we'll as the profit, to ponder as
well as to plan; in short we are apt to
wonder whether we want a vacation
next year or not. Nearly ali Our citi-
zens that were away have returned
home and it is surprising the number
that have gone out of our little city
for a summer vacation this season,
but we are all glad to get home again.
The system of home coming which
was adopted some years ago by cities
in the east is gradually extending to
the west. The plan generally adopted
is to set apart a certain day, or two or
three days for the reception and
entertainment of relatives, friends and
former residents. 1t has become
quite popular to give all home corners
a warm and hearty welcome. Water
town in this state held its first home
coming last year on which occasion
the visitors numbered more than four
thousand. Their second home coming
will be held September 4, and another
large attendance is anticipated. Rev.
Peterson has recently returned from
his eastern trip where he attended
the G.. A. r. encampment at Boston.
He witnessed mammoth parade of
the old veterans in which four hundred
automobiles carried the more aged
and feeble. Mr.. PeterSon'S trip was

NEW HOTEL
WILL SOON OPEN

Nate AnderSon'S new hotel on the
west side is approaching completion
ard the finishing touches are being
added. This edifice, is not only a
credit to the owner but to every one
who has had part in it's erection.
1t possesses all the modern conyen-
fences and appliances and without
doubt will be popular resort. The
plans were drawn by w. Martin. The
stone and brick work was in charge OF
Emile ClauSen. The carpenter work
and finishing was in charge of Everett
Stillwell. Geo. Moulton had charge
of the plastering. The painting was
in charge Of Mr.. Suhr and the Cen
tralia Hardware Company furnished
the heating and plumbing and some
other work in connection with the
construction.
The building is 34X64 feet of solid
brick with three stories besides the
basement. 1t is a modern model
building in every respect. The bar,
laundry, drying room and vegetable
and is. finished in oak. The first
floor will be used for office aud writing
room in front, with dining room, two
bed rooms, kitchen and pantry back
of the office. This floor is finished
entirely in oak and it is done in a
wOrkman-like manner. The rooms
are nicely arranged, are light and
pleasant. The second floor will be
used for sleeping rooms reserved for
transients. Eleven large rooms are
located on this floor all finished in
birch. Every room is equipped with
steam heat andsall the furniture is
new and up-to-date. The parlor and
bath room are also located on the
second floor, the former occupying the
southeast corner and is large
pleasant slightly room.
The third floor has twelve sleeping
| rooms all finished in birch all fur
nished with new furniture. This floor
is designed for the regular boarders.
The rooms are light and pleasant in
fact there is not dark room in the
house. The hotel is model in many
respects and an ornament to that part
of our city. Mr.. Anderson seems to
have used the best of material in it's
construction and there is nothing
lacking in workmanship from the
laying of the cellar walls to the
putting on of the roof. One of the
pleaSanteSt features however, of the
whole building is the large window
in the front on the first floor
Mr.. Anderson will open his hotel on
Saturday, September 3.

quick drop checking the bucket
just before it struck the platform
with break. This was fun for the
children and not overly expensive for
the Railroad Company but it is only a
question of time when these children,
inexperienced as they are viii make
some mistake or meet with an accident
by getting their hand or clothing
caught in the immense cog wheels.
Then the parents will wonder why the
Railroad Company left this dangerous
machinery exposed to their children
and at the, same time the Railroad
Company will wonder why the parents
of these children did not pay more at
tention to their whereabouts and
exercise more care as to their child
ren's safety. 1t does seem strange that
parents will allow children of this age
to wander off for hours not knowing
and not exhibiting any uneasiness as TO
their whereabouts. In most families
you can locate the girl at almost any
time but the boy and the dog are let to
roam at will trusting entirely in Pro
vidence or the neighbors to keep them
out OF danger and out of mischief.
Last week several boys were creeping
under freight train close to the ST.
Paul depot while part of the train
was being moved by switch engine.
Many of the accidents to children are
due more to the thoughtleSsneSs and
careleSsness of the parents than to
the child.
Parents keep track of your children.

RED LIGHT AND SIN.

calls the illustration drawn, in fac
tory In France which was Illuminated
with red light The operatives became
so demoralized that it was decided to
shift to another color, whereupon nor

Since as much can be said in favor
OF red as against it, it would not be
well to condemn it too quickly. Vari
Gus diseases are now treated success
fully by red rays, and it is certain that
bright colors produce brightness OF
sentiment in patient, while dull col
ors have the opposite effect.
Red has been held In high favor
by many nations. 1t is the Chinese
color of good luck, and the hue the
Scandinavians give to the hair and
beard of their great god, Thor. 1t Is
also royal color, and last, but not
least, adorns the breast OF our cher

cannot be charged with any grave

Depression of the nervous system at the

runa meets every indication and proves 1T
self to be perfectly adapted to all their va

result of the depressing effect OF warm

tifying to it's priceless benefit.

Des Moines, Ia, writes: Il am happy to
give my endorsement for your valuable
medicine, Peruna, as | consider it valu-
able medicine to take when the system is

Gently that very nearly cost him HE
life. With his rifle in hand he was at
tempting to get within range of cat
he desired to shoot, when the animal
ran up into the framework supporting
the water tank.
Standing directly beneath the cat
Willie shot straight up at it, careless
ly forgetting the fact that the tank
was within range.
The bullet killed the cat and
pierced the bottom of the tank, and In
an instant the water, gushing out. sur
rounded Mr.. Willie with complete
shower bath in temperature Of IS
degrees below zero.
Instantly his Overshoes froze to the
stone foundation on which he was
standing, and, STOPPING to unbuckle
them, he was chained by the spray,
freezing in the terrible cold as fast
as it fell into helpless statue of ice,
stiff and immovable as a stone. Only
by his STOPPING posture, which kept
his face free from the ice, was he
saved from suffocation.
Soon the flow Of the water was
stopped by the sediment Of the tank
flowing into the bullet hole, and q
little son of Mr.. Willie, who had seer
the whole affair, ran for assistance. II
was necessary to loosen the unfor'
tunate mans feet with chisels, and
when he had been carried into the
house by three strong men the ice
