DON'T RUIN YOUR DIGESTION.

The quickest way to ruin your diges-
tive organs is by eating things that
have all the goodness cooked out of
them. The common variety of res
taurants are conducted on the rush
plan-dishes are fried and cooked in
old greasy dishes that your finer feel
ings would rebel at if you saw the
cook at work. Why not go to a first
class place like the Restaurant Fran
Gals. The detail work of this restaur-
ant is watched closely by men VINO
have been lifelong caterers-by men
who know their business. The kitchen
at the Restaurant Francois is the res
taurant's best advertisement.

ELECTRIC COMPANY EMPlOYE
DIVES FROM RAFT AND FAILS
TO COME UP.
Body Recovered and Brought to Walla
WalIa-Remains Inferred in
the City Cemetery.

William G. Paulson, a carpenter en-
ployed by the Northwestern Gas &
Electric company at the power house
on the Walla Walla river, while in
swimming in the large reservoir at
that place, was drowned yesterday af-
ternoon.
Paulson and other employees of the
company were bathing in the reser-
voir and while his companions went to
the other end of the reservoir Paulson
dived from a raft on which he and two
small boys were standing. His COM
paniOns returned shortly when the
boys remarked that Paulson was a
good diver as he had not come up yet.
The other men made an investigation
and found the body of Paulson lying
at the bottom of the reservoir. 1t was
taken from the water and every
method possible applied to resuscitate
the man, but without success 1t is
supposed that he was attacked with
cramps which caused MIN to drown.
He was native of Denmark and had
brother working at the plant.
The body was brought to Walla

The former pleaded guilty and was

ship Of the Russian fleet which was

of Korea, was sunk and that Admiral
IsoJestvensky was wounded and placed
on board of a torpedo boat destroyer,
is confirmed. Admiral Kojestvensky

During the battle he sustained a

again attempt to wrest the mastery of

Conflicting Reports As to Fate Of Its Tn
lucky Commander.

WASHINGTON, May 3O.-The official
japanese report on the latest of the
great naval battles in the Korean
straits Is made in a cablegram re.
ceived tonight by the Japanese lega.
ton here from the foreign Office at
Toxic, conveying Admiral Togo's dis.
patches up to this afternoon. The re.
port says that Admiral Rojestvensky
and another admiral and staff officers
were taken prisoners on the sinking of
Roiestvensky's flagship, the Kniaz
Sovaroff, Saturday night, south of
Urleung island, of the Korean coast.
The total number of vessels lost to
the Russians, according to Admiral
Togo, now reaches q and. he adds,
that although the full particulars are
not yet in, none of the Japanese ships
were seriously injured, and the loss to
the first division of the Japanese fleet
was over 400.
1t is probable that many details Of
the fight will never be given to the
world. 1t will be days and weeks be-
fore the main facts of the battle and
its strategy are made known. Ad-
miral Togo appears to have planned
and laid q complete trap which fitted

courts. In cases of emergency they
are compelled to apply to the secretary
of state for a certified copy of the
new statute, to enable them to act in.
diligently in the matter, no official
printed copy of the e laws being
yet available.
This delay in giving publicity to
measures passed by the state legisla.
ture is merely q repetition of former
experience: it generally happens that
several months elapse before the peo.
pie of Montana are officially APP
prised of the new laws that have
been enacted. In view of the incon.
v%enience occasioned by ignorance of
the law, and the possibility of incur.
ring penalties for the violation of
statutes of whose existence the average
citizen has no opportunity to inform
himself, there should be a better
method for their publication. Ninety
days or more Is altogether too long a
time for a law to be in effect without
its provisions being officially an
nounced.
The people of Montana are patient
ly awaiting information as to the IA.
ture of the e laws they are required
10 obey. Will the measures passed
by the ninth legislative assembly be
published this mouth, next month, or
next winter?
