mr.. J II. POLHILL TALKS TO A
REPORTER.
Tells Why Col. Dillingham's Rem.
edies Acquire Such Rapid
Popularity.

HASJ
Col. F. A. Dillingha ms Plant
Juice, the medicine which is Gre
ating such a furore among Fitz-
gerald people, and which is being
introduced here by the local
druggists, is practically new
remedy.
It was first introduced by Col.
Dillingham; about year ago and
has since made him a fortune
which is estimated above the half
million mark. Although these
remedies have been in the drug
stores only afew weeks, the work
they are accomplishing is the
talk of this section.
Although very busy, J. H. Pol
hill, yesterday gave five minute
of his time to the discussion OF
these remedies here and else
where. Upon being asked, Mr..
Polhill how do you account for
the extreme popularity Of Plant
Juice remedies in the sections
where they are advertised, and
the immense interest they arouse
so quickly?"
He smi1ingly replied; ANY
popularity which they may &C
quire is not by any means due to
craftsmanship or advertising. All
success which has come to them
is due entirely to the formula
which is used in preparing them.
1T is not on account of any
special liking for me that people
come to my drugstore to shake
my hand, as you have seen them
do while waiting here, but it is
simply owing to the fact that this
Plant Juice which | am selling

man or woman who has been ben

son in the world.
I'VE who are we'll cannot real
ize what days and weeks and
months of suffering means.
Good health, after all, is worth
more than anything else in the
world, and because | am able to
help these poor sufferers, with
little or no hope before them, for
this reason, aud this only, do |
win the confidence and respect of
my patrons.
While Col. Dillingham; believes

make, with his less fortunate
BRETHREN the money that he dis
tributes for charity produces
only small ton of the friends
which / am proud to say the rem
edies acquire throughout the
country.
"Dillingham's medicine is sold
by me at a very enable price,
which puts it within the reach of
all. Every sale / make is with
the understanding that if it fails
to be benefit l return the mon
ey. Many people. knowing that
my word is good, purchased from
me who would not otherwise, and
it would surprise you if were to
tell you the small percentage of
whose money / have returned to
them, owing TO the fact that they
have not been benefited"
This conversation took place at
J. HI. PolhiIl's drugstore, and at
the time there were fully a dozen
people waiting to obtain an utter
view with him.
Owing to the many people out
side of Fitzgerald who are aux
ious to secure some of the won
derful remedies, a special mail
order department was organized
a few days ago to send medicine
in answer to letters received.

Annexation Proves Unpopular.

The taxpayers of school district No.
25 met at the Fruitvale school house
last Saturday evening pursuant to a
published call and discussed at length
the proposition of being annexed to
district No. Z, the North Yakima dis
trict Fully two-thirds of those pres
ent were opposed to annexation or to
any change from the present condition,
and so expressed themselves. This ac.
ton was in itself sufficient to settle
the matter, but it is learned that tne
authorities of district No. were unan-
imously opposed to the plan also. 1t
is not probable that the matter will
come up again-not for some time, at
least.

BUILD FOR THE FUTURE.

No matter what the board of coun.
ty commissioners may decide to do at
the February term of commissioners
court in regard to new court house,
or how the present board feels on the
proposition, it is fact disputed by no
one that the county must build a court
house adequate to its needs at no very
far of time. There is limit to every
thing, and those who have looked into
the matter know that the limit of abil-
ity to properly care for the records and
properly carry on the business of the
county has just about been reached in
the old court house. 1t will not be long
before the taxpayers will demand
newer and better building, and when it
is decided to build, the character of
courthouse should be studied and decid-
ed upon with the greatest of care. A
building that would be a great improve
ment over the present one could be
erected for small sum of money, but it
would be worth small sum only when
the county was forced to build again,
as it would be within short time. If a
building is put up this year it should be
planned to meet the needs of the county
for so years to come, allowing for an in.
crease of population and growth Of in
dustries of every kind.
If the court house were properly de-
signed, there would be no waste of pub
lie money in making it to contain a
great deal more room than the county
would utilize at present. Rooms con-
veniently and suitably located, singly or
en- suite, would be more valuable for an
abstractor's Office in the county court
house than in any other place in the
city. If the city continues to grow in
the next few years as it has in the
past, it will not be long until it has
outgrown its quarters, as the county has
done. If the courthouse contained suit
able spare rooms for the Offices of city
clerk, engineer, council rom, etc, the
city would doubtless be very glad to
avail itself at some time in the near fu-
ture of an opportunity to rent from the
county these quarters. There are in
fact many ways that might be devised
along these lines to bring the county n
revenue that would be considerable.
At all events the citizens and tax.
payers should stand together and de-
mand That when court house is built
that it shall be large enough and suitably
arranged and equipped to answer the
needs of at least the next so years
without alterations or additions. To
erect any other kind of building would
be false economy, which would bring up
on the present generation reproach and
just criticisms from the next.

CANE NEAR BEING MURDER.
R. ]. McCarty Nearly Killed His Form
er Friend, VIM. Moran, at Kennewick.

r. J. McCarty and William Moran, two
fast friends, had little discussion over
financial matters last Sunday morning
in a shack where the two have been
keeping bachelors quarters at Kenne-
wick. and as result the latter is laid
up for repairs at the hospital, while the
former is a prisoner in the county Jail,
having been held to answer to the charge
of assault at the next term of the SUI
perior court. Moran is badly used up,
but will probably recover. His left leg
is broken below the knee, his scalp is
laid open, and his body is bruised and
discolored from the terrible beating
given MIN by his assailant. When he
was taken to the hospital it was feared
that his skull was fractured, but this
was found to be not true. The weapon
used by McCarty, it is CLAIMED, was
long bolt or iron rod, and the wonder is
that Moran was not killed.
The men have been working together
in the vicinity of Kennewick for some
time and have been "baching" in small
snack. According to their statements
they had agreed to share their expenses
equally, one paying for the supplies one
week and the other the next. 1t was
McCarty's turn to pay the bills last
week, but for some reason he tried to
shift the obligation to Moran. The
latter objected, and heated argument
followed, words leading to blows. Me
Carly gained possession of tine weapon,
and Moran's efforts to shield himself
were unsuccessful. After beating him
into insensibility McCarty boarded
side door Pullman and left for the east.
Moran recovered consciousness and Sc
cured assistance, while an effort was
made to locate McCarty. The latter
was found in box car at Prosser and
arrested by Deputy Sheriff Mcneil. He
was given an immediate hearing and
held to the superior court, and was
brought to this city Monday.

SENATOR PILES.

1t is now, Senator Piles. Sam Piles
Of Seattle has disappeared never TO re-
turn. The election Of Mr.. Piles to the
U. S. Senate from this state lie a victory
for pluck and stick to-it-ativeness. The
time was, in old territorial days, when
Col. Haines, Grant, Judge Lewis and
others ruled this politics of the Puget
Sound country, Sam Piles was consider
ed good hustler at the polls and a fine
ward worker. Anyone suggesting that
he possessed good senatorial timber
would have been ridiculed out Of coun.
tenance.
But he has kept working right along,
built up a fine law practice, proven
himself a man of parts and now has
easily reached the goal eagerly sought
after by those who, in years past, sought
to use him as stepping-stone for their
advancement.
Years ago Piles was fiery, cratic
stump speaker. Age, experience and
study has sobered, widened, broadened
the man. BY far the ablest, intellec-
tually, of any of his competitors in the
race for the senatorial toga, the Herald
predicts that Senator Piles will be fav-
orably received in the city Of Washing
ton, and that this state will be accred-
tied with a statesman and orator in him
who is the peer Of any with whom he
associates in the senate chamber Of the
United States,

anothr term of 81 years, and as ad-

that ANY old way" that is invented
he will make use OF.
Before coming to the matter that
is before us this evening, | wish to
state that while our Chief has ever
been loyal to the service of the City,
he has also been loyal to this COM
pany. He has never failed to give us
Our full share OF the work that was TO

members have thought that he rather

had his name on our list, bit has been
eqaally loyal 10 Mr. Kuhn. We have
endeavored during the past years to
show by words and active support
our appreciation of Our Chief officer,
but never in a substantial way have
we shown the true feeling of our
hearts by any overt action.
We come now to this time when
Mr. Kuhn has rounded out 81 years
of the best time of his life to this
service, and it is fitting that we as a
Company testify 10 hm, if possible,
the esteem We have for him as our

emblem OF the friendship we bear to
you We ask you to wear it, not for

as reminder of the days and nights
we have spent together in the field
of duty as fremen and may we each,
and yourself, our nonored Chief, live
10 work as comrades through another
90 odd years. Should it be our lot

have lived lives that will merit the
respect OF Our fellows when the end

need expensive repairs.

are insured by the Hartford Steam

Company They are inspected by
George W. Mathews, an expert in
spector, three to four times yearly
and the result is reported by him to
the company for which he works and
by the company to the city council,
stating the condition of boilers.
1t is true that there could be i'm
provements made but none SO cost
ly and expensive as it was made to
appear in last evenings issue of the
Independent. By cosering all steam
pipes with asbestos or some other
substantial covering so that the pipes
would retain the heat better the coal
bill would undoubtedly be cut down.
Also saving would be made by heat
ing the caliboose and oil tank with
exhaust steam instead of by live

An Acre of Land.

The possibilities connected with the
intensive cultivation of one acre of
land are much greater than most peo-
pie suppose. The gross returns from
the average acre of good prairie soil
in the west is not far from SO, prob
ably less than more One acre put in
20 strawberries, onions, celery or early
potatoes, to be followed by a crop of
turnips, will easily give gross return
of over $50 per acre. Used as well
cared for small fruit and vegetable
garden for the farm home it will re-
turn airy year over $780, Planted to
late potato crop twill for period
of ten years bring in over $50 per acre.
The truth is that nearly every man has
twice as much land as he can work
to advantage and depends upon small
returns from large acreage when he
could handle his business with more
pleasure and profit if he would try
getting large returns from small
acreage.

near future. Sunday w. H. Ocker,
manager of the American DeForest

the situation over with the object in
view of recommending the etablish-

not commit himself with regard to
what recommendation he would

pany, he intimated that his recon-
mendation would be favorable to

Rural Carriers Can't Earn Outside
Coin

A recent Interpretation of the pos
tai laws and regulations by the post
Office department., with reference to
rural carriers, has been isued. The
department has decided that rural
carriers cannot act as agents or So
licitors, even while off duty within
the delivery Of the Office from which
their routes emanate. Neither can
the carriers engage in any business
or occupation in which they would
come in competition with private cit
liens, with the exception, probably Of
manual labor. The ruling is quite
drastic and is not calculated to be
accepted very graciously by the car
riers. They cannot understand why
they cannot engage in whatever occu-
patton they desire during the after
noon after they have completed their
trips.
The Plymouth tribune. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1901-1911, 1905-05-18

We obtained from the County
Treasurer's Office some interesting
facts with regard to taxes and tax
payers.
During the recent rush at the
Treasurer's Office the largest receipts
for any one day were on May 1, the
last day they could be paid before
becoming delinquent The amount
taken in that day was S22s970O and
919 tax receipts were paid-one-ninth
of all the receipts paid during the
whole spring. This large amount of
business was handled expeditiously
by the three clerks and no one was
kept waiting over few minutes.
The largest amount paid by any
one corporation was S1312932, paid
by the Pennsylvania R. R. Co. In
order come the other railroads: Nick
lie Plate s635075, Lake Erie & Wes-
tern s39105s, Baltimore & Ohio So,
so4a6, Vandalia s2s3e.6s. The lar
gest amount paid by any one person
in Marshall County was paid by
James H. Matchett of Bourbon.
OF this years taxes there is about
$4,000 delinquent and of back delin-
quency there is in round numbers
$4,000. Of the unpaid November
taxes for next fall there remains
about 100000 to be paid-some peo-
pie paying both spring and fall in
stallments in the spring.
