it was all right, agreeing with the re-

all right because the democrats were
in favor of no kind of money whatever
Although welded to Bryan and still
believing him to be the greatest dem

will do the same 1t is characteristic
of them. They don't seem TO care what

Pretty Safe Rule to Go By.

When there is feeling that the heart
or lungs, blood or liver, brain or nerves
are diseased, at once commence to doc
tor the stomach. That is the foundation
of the trouble in 80 cases out of every
100. Commence to regulate the diges-
tive organs, get them in healthy work
ing condition, and the other troubles
will leave of themselves. Diseases which
have their beginning in the stomach
must be cured through the stomach. The
medicine for stomach disorders and half
the ills of life, is DR.. Gums Improved

disease has no basis to work upon. They

A COLORED EVANGELIST.
Looking for a Church in Which to
Preach-Thinks This Town
Needs 1t.

Among the city's newcomers this week
is one David Swackhaner, colored man
who purports to be an evangelist and
says he has travelled all over the world,
carrying the gospel into all parts of the
globe for the benefit of the unbelievers
and the mcivilized. He is now in Yak
ina. He wants to get a church in which
to deliver his sermons. He thinks the
people here are very much in need of
them. botn colored and Caucasian. and
he seems to think that he has the goods
for the occasion. Il tried to get one
church, said the colored missionary.
but | GUESS my clothes didn't exactly
suit the pastor and he wouldn't listen

pastor informed me that every member
of the board in charge of the church was

THE W0ODMEN PREPARING
FOR ANNUAL LOG ROLLING
A. E. Mead, Nominee for Governor
On Republican Ticket VIII De-
liver Address-Fine Program.

The annual log rolling OF the Modern
Woodmen OF central Washington will
probably attract more attention this year
than ever before in its history. At least
if work on an undertaking OF this kind
counts for any thing, the calculations
are that the entertainment the public
is to receive will far exceed any previous
attempt by this extremely popular or
ganization since its first annual log roll
ing celebration. The day will be one
continual round OF JOY. All kinds Of
outdoor sports will be literally rewarded
with handsome prizes toahe victors and
nothing is being left undone by the
committees in charge which would in
anyway tend to enhance a single mo-
mcnt OF pleasure.
The exercises are to come off at the
fair grounds and the principal speaker
Of the day will be the next governor OF
the state Of Washington, Hon. a. f..
Mead OF Whatcom. Following the ex-
ercises at the fair grounds which will con-
s1me whole day there is to be swell

which is to trave Sc the leading streets
Of the city and th,n lead to the fair
grounds
At twelve o'clock in the grove, an old
fashined picnic dinner will be INDUCED
in and tits needless to mention that this
feature alone will prove one Of the most
attractive Of the day. The committee
on arrangements is composed Of W. p.
Murphy, James II. Fraser, and Orlan-
DO Beck. The association is composed
Of the lodges OF Yakima, Kittitas, Kick
itat and Chelan counties, and represents
about 1900 members. Special rates OF

Held to Keep the Peace.

Finley Powell was bound over by JUS
tice Taggard Monday afternoon under
$500 bonds to keep the peace. The trial
attracted considerable attention, in view
of the charges and counter charges made
by plaintiff and defendant. The case
was one in which Ms. Finley Powell
asked the court to place her husband
under bonds to keep the peace, alleging
that he had threatened to take her life
and the life of their children. Attor-
neys Snively and Krutz represented the
plaintiff and defendant respectively.
Serious charges were preferred against
both parties. A warrant was sworn out
by Mrs. Powell for the arrest of her
husband, alleging that he came down to
the house where she and her children
are now living and terrorized them by
threats on their lives. Defendant was
bound over unred $500 bonds, which he
Immediately gave. Mrs. Powell is suing
