AMPLE Acids.

The acids Of the apple are Of sinsu-
lar use for men Of sedentary habits,
whose livcrs are sluggish In acton.
those acids serving to eliminate from
the body no1ious matters which II re-
tained would make the brain heavy
and dull or bring about jaundics or
skin eruptons and other allied trou-
bles. Some such experience must have
led to the custom Of taking apple
sauce with roast pork, rich goose and
other like dishes. The malic acid of
ripe apples, either raw or cooked, win
neutralike any excess Of ehalky mat
ter engendered by eating too much
meat. 1t is also the fact that such
fruits as the apple, the pear and the
plum. when taken ripe and without
sugar. diminish acidity in the stomach
rather than provoke It, Their vege-
table sauces and juices are converted
into alkaline carbonates by the chem
zeal action Of the stomach juices, which
tend to counteract acidity.

Monkey. In Captivity.

ITO see monkeys kept in cage is to
me a pitiful and saddening exhibition"
says an English writer. tho little
earicatures Of humanity in my pos
session are let out Of their houses IA
the morning and allowed to play and
gambol about the grounds during the
day time to their hearts content. Those
who have seen monkeys only IN cages
can form but faint idea Of the Joy
business Of the happy little creatures as
they bound from tree to tree IN the
enjoyment Of their freedom. At svsn.
ing time they all return to their house
without giving any trouble.
Monkeys, like most wild animals,
are very shy before strangers, and II a
visitor happens to arrive who is un-
known to them they keep perfectly sin
and hide themselves so wen among the
foliage that the stranger could not
realize that he was being watched By
several pairs of the sharpest little eyB

Col. r. G. Judson, industrial agent Of

day and called at the Press office. Mr..
Judson has recently returned from a
trip through Kansas, Nebraska and
Wyoming, where he went to investigate

the Campbell method.

soil in your respective localities" said
Mr.. Judson. 'It will assist me material
ly in presenting to your farmer friends
the great Campbell system of utilizing
every drop of moisture and getting every
possible result from the land.
"The new system will prove to be of
inestimable value to the semi-arid re-

ranches Of the Inland Empire.
IA number OF years ago this man
Campbell was South Dakota farmer.
A man OF thought and investigation, he
observed that while at certain times Of
the year there was plenty of rain it
evaporated from the soil, and when
moisture was most need it was not to
be had. He instituted a series OF ex-
periments which were carried on for
many years and finally brought them to
such degree of perfection and obtained
such wonderful results that they COM
manded the attention of the agricultural
world. He finds that from IL to Is
inches of rainfall during the year is
sufficient for any crop provided his
method Of culture is used.
"The method which he uses is based
upon the principle of keeping the mois
ture in the ground. His principal i'm
plement for this accomplishment is q
''subsurface packer" which when used
has the effect of packing the bottom ol
the plowed soil and leaving the tor
loose. The initial blowing is always
very deep. This is the underlying
principle of his whole system.

STREETS WILL OPEN
o. r. & N. co. AND CITY COME
TO AGREEMENT.
Satisfactory Arrangements are Made
Whereby the Matter Will Not
Enter the Courts.

Superintendent Campbell of the o.
f. & N. was in the city Wednesday in
company with Agent Burns. The pur-
pose of Mr.. Campbell's visit to Athena
was to adjust the difficulty growing out
of the proposed opening Of certain
streets, in manner satisfactory to both
his company and the city.
This was done, and case dragging
along through the courts has been
ayerted. Mr.. Barrett of the committee
on streets and public improvement,
says he is satisfied with the adjustment
of the matter, and Mr.. Campbell stated
that all his company required was that
the requirement Of the streets through
the company's property be obtained in
legal manner.
BY the adjustment made by the city
and Mr.. Campbell Third, Fourth and
Fifth streets will have right of way
through the corporations land and a
portion OF Garfield street will remain
open. The city gets a perpetual lease
on the land where the city water tank is
located. A portion of Garfield street is
yet retained by the company, because
it is under lease to the Pacific Coast
Elevator company. This portion of the
street, however, is not enclosed in any
manner and will remain open for public
accommodation.

daylight yesterday, and officers Of the
company owning the ship assert that the

that JaDanese authorities had bribed

ming. The new quarters have been

enthusiastically discussed.
Three new members, e. L. Barnett,
Royal M. Sawtell and A. j. Parker,
were elected to membership. Mr..

gave the association a pleasant talk.

ed, the assertion has not been denied
that the meat has been purchased by
Russia for her troops in the far east.
1t was stated that the steamer had
been chartered outright by Russia but
this was denied. The Tacoma sailed
from Seattle yesterday afternoon about
2 o'clock. The vessel headed for West
Seattle under slow bell, and her pecu-
liar movements in the harbor attracted
the attention Of many persons along the
wharves. Finally she steamed toward
Smiths Cove, where tug went to meet
her. About half an hour later the
Tacoma turned her bow in the direction
OF West Point and struck. Efforts to
pull her off today we're futile.

Mr.. KEGS. Several Of the positions pay
fairly good wages, and the number Of
applicants is said to be large for the
better paying ones. The positions of
assistant warden, chief turnkey, captain
Of the guards and superintendent Of the

after ones, but dozens would take posi-
tions as guards, although the pay is
small. There is much speculation as to
who the member of the board Of con-
