What Will They Do With the Money?

One of the prosperous fruit farmers
met an elderly man from st Paul a
few days ago at the depot.
In answer to his inquiries the farmer
was telling him what profits the peo-
pie are getting from their orchards in
the Wenatohee valley. The st. Paul
man listened with an incrredulous look
on his face until Mr., Ryan a commits
sion man approached and handed the
farmer q check for $3.50 in payment
for fruit delivered to him. The far
mer explained that he had only begun
to market his crop and that the a.
mount of fruit that had been harvest
ed would not be missed ia his orchard.
This was too much for the man
from st. Paul, who gasped: what
will the people do with all their mon

LANHAM CASE is
DISMISSED BY JUDGE
Suit Brought by Canal Company
Against Lanham for Interfering
with Headgates Fails Because of
Error in Title of Statute.

The case of z. A. Lanham, charged
with interfering with one of the head
gates of the high line ditch company,
was dismissed by Judge Steiner yes
terday.
The title of the statute that he case
was tried unGer was not broad enough
to include all the law that were inclu-
ded under it. The title provided only
for civil laws on irrigatlug and con-
demning rights of way for irrigating
bitches, no provision being made from
a criminal statute that was added later
Lanham was arrested last June on
the complaint of one of the patrolmen
for the ditch company. 1t was alleg
ed that Lanham wished to use water
on land for which he had no water
right. The patrolman refused to allow
him to have the water for this purpose
and so Lanham himself opened ythe
headgate.
The case was taken before Judge
Palmer at the time of the arrest and
Mr. Lanham was bound over to the
superior court.
Judge Steiner declared that the law
under which the attempt to prosecute
Mr.. Lanham was made, is unconstitu.
tiotnal and void.
Dill aud Thomas handled the case
for the defendant.

was brought in.

BattIeship Mikasa Destroyed by Fire
and the Explosion OF her
Magazine
500 MEN LOSE THEIR LIVES
Fire Started in Night and Reached
Magazines Before Men Could
be Rescued

TOXIC, Sept. 12.-The navy depart.
ment announces that the battleship
Mikasa has been destroyed by fire and
explosion of her magazine, causing the
loss of 500 lives, including men of
other ships who went to the rescue.
The fire started from an unknown
cause, at midnight, on Saturday
night, September 10. Before the
officers could be rescued the fire
reached the aft magazine, which ex-
ploded, blowing hole in the port side
of the vessel below the water line and
causing the ship to sink.
An investigation is now being held
to determine the cause of the fire.
The Mikasa was the flagship of the
Japanese navy, flying the flag of Vice
Admiral Togo, the commander-in-
chief She was present at all the en-
gagements during the war and on
several occagions reported severely
damaged in action. AT the battle of
the Sea of Japan she led the fleet into
action, and her name was mentioned
in connection with some of the most
stirring events after this famous sea
fight. The Mikasa was one of the
largest and most powerful vessels in
the japanese navy. She was built
at Barrow, England, and was launched
IN 1902. She had displacement of
200 tons. Her speed was 49,
kuots m hour, with 16, All indicated
horsepower. Her armament consisted
of four 12-inch, Il six-inch, 20 l2-

two an one half pounds and eight mill
imeter guns.
In the battle Of the Sea of Japan
the Mikasa was the heaviest loser of
the japanese ships, having 63 killed
and wounded. She approached nearer
the Russians than any other ship.
The Mikasa was also the flagship of
Admiral Togo after the great naval
battle fought off Port Arthur on Aug
ust 15, 1904, on which occasion the
japanese flagship also suffered the
most, but continued in the fighting
line. On that occasion the Mikasa
had four officers and 20 men killed.
Admiral Togo was not on board the
Mikasa when the disaster occurred.

Offer to Refund Money if Hyomei
Does Not Cure Catarrh.
To the Editor of the Perth Amboy
News:
have been asked recently if the
advertisements printed in your col
umns regarding Hyomei were true,
where | offer to refund the money
if this treatment does not cure ca
tarrh. | wish you would please
print this letter in as conspicuous q
,place as possible in your paper, say
ing that we absolutely agree to re-
fund the money to any purchaser OF
a Hyomei outfit il it does not cure
catarrh.
This outfit consists of an inhaler
of a convenient size to be carried in
the vest pocket SO that the user can
breathe Hyomei four of five times
daily. With this is included a medi-
cine dropper and a bottle of Hyomei.
The outfit sells for $1.00 and is a
most economical treatment, for the
inhaler lasts a lifetime and there is
enough Hyomei for several weeks
use, while extra bottles can be OBJ
tanned for so cents.
Il trust this ietter will settle any
doubts that may have arisen as to
my willingness to refund the money
for a Hyomei outfit, in case the pur
chaser is not perfectly satisfied.
Respectfully yours,
