The average negro is great on taking
medicine and if the doctor or druggist
does not give him pretty liberal doses
he thinks he has not got his money s
worth. Servants who work about the
house are a constant tax on you for
medicine and will take most anything
you give them. It's "mizery in meh
chist," .'mizery in meh side, ''mizery
In meh haid," and so on, through the
whole family of "miZeries." They will
take up all the odds and ends OF your
medicine cabinet and will swallow

Combining the Industries.

The things that are being done in
other communities can certainly be
done here. And this is the way the
people Of Anacortes, Wash, are going
to manage things in their section Of
the country. In speaking Of the mat

Machinery has been ordered for the
John Broder creamery at Anacortes,
which will give it capacity Of 5000
pounds of butter daily. A fruit can
merry also is to be operated in connec-
ton with the creamery, and the work
has commenced on an additional struc-
ture 24x45 feet for this purpose. John
Broder and w. F. Barch, who will op-
crate the two plants under the style
of the Anacortes Creamery & Canning
company, state that advance orders
for IS tons of canned apples have
been booked. A retort may be added

Money In MIX.

An item published in Wednesdays
Review furnishes some pretty good
evidence that a creamery is an ex-
cellent proposition fer the farmers Of
any community. Read this and then
see if you are not convinced:
Pendleton, Ore, Aug. To-day
the farmers Of the county who have
been supplying the Blue Mountain
creamery with cream aud milk received
their statements, and on the 10th Of
the month will receive their checks.
The largest statement was issued to T..
G. Haley, who has dairy farm on the
Wild Horse creek, six miles east Of the
city. Mr.. HALEY has been milking
about % COWS during the past month,
and on an average has supplied between
rs and so pounds Of sweet cream
daily, which has tested 80 per cent but
ter fat. At 25 cents pound his
check for the month of July will be
over $175, or nearly So a COW.
c. c. Berkeley, who has a farm or
McCay creek, is the next largc st cream
producer, milking 20 COWS. llis state
ment is not quite as large as Mr.
Hailey's, but is nearly the same. Othe
large producers receiving good checks
reside in the Grand Rounde valley
who ship the surplus to Pendleton t.
be made into butte, as the LaGrand'
creamery is taxed to its capacity.

Deputy Postmaster c. V. Jones Of
Moscow thinks he has been somewhat
misrepresented by the report that $500
had been stolen from his residence and
that $25 which he had left in pair
of trousers hanging in the room had
been overlooked. Mr.. Jones did not
loose $500. And the report that SIS
was overlooked is also far from true.
Nor is this the only complaint that Mr..
Jones has to make. He wants it dis

had the good fortune to own more than
one pair Of trousers at the same time
and at the particular time the burglar
visited his home he happened to have
his pants with him.

Troy After the Grain.

Troy is to be bidder for all grain
that can be marketed at this point this
season. Manager Green of the local
mills has declared his intention to enter
the field for every bushel tributary to
this point and is ready to meet Mos
COW prices. And those acquainted
with Mr.. Green know that this is no
idle bluff. He is starting the ball by
meeting Moscow on sacks. What his
company wants is the grain and they
propose to get it by making it an object
to the producer to haul to Troy.

Good Cheap Insurance.

The Latah County Farmers Mutual
VIII ch was organized by the farmers
north and east of Troy in the spring of
1908, is proving very popular with the
members of the organization and the
farmers generally. During the two and
half years Of its existence it has had
about 13I policies in force, with some
where about 100000 of risks. No
loses have occurred during all this
time and as the Latah Mutual is purely
an assessment affair, the total expense
for the company has been small, and
for 1904 only about SO. The com
pany confines itself strictly to farm risks
and limits its obligations to $1,000 in
any one place.

final arrangements have not been made
for them.
The institute will be held at the

Beat This.

The following figures are most ex-
cellent proof of the assertion that Troy
is the best business point in the caun-
try. July is a sample. Here it is:
Five cars to Kansas points.
Three cars to Nebraska.
Six cars to Wisconsin.
-Four cars to Illinois.
Two cars to Idaho Falls.
Twenty-eight cars to local points.
The above so cars were all lumber and
to this should be added 80 cars of wood,
making total of l39 car loads for the
month. The total receipts were $4,000
which is an increase of GO per cent over
the corresponding month last year for
the output from this point. The above
figures are taken from the railway tom-
pany's books at the local Office.

The Water Problem.

The water supply of the N. P. at
this point has given out and the iron
horses must now do their drinking at
either Moscow or Kendrick. Would
MT it be good idea to invite the rail
road company to cooperate with the
town and then make combined effort
towards getting a good supply? The
idea is we'll worth considering.
The we'll which was recently drilled
for the town was sunk to depth Of
Isl feet, but no water was found be-
low the As foot level, where a pretty
good vein was encountered. The
drillers are confident that plenty o.
water can be had by simply digging
several holes in the same neighbor-
hood and tapping the vein in differen
places.
The creek has also gene dry anc
the question of water in case Of a fire
has become a serious problem. Tc
meet this emergency c. A. Bromar
lass week sunk large hole near the
rear Of his store and got plenty o
water at a depth Of abont twelve feet
The idea is a good one and ought t.
be followed by others until the suppl,
is sufficient to meet the emergency
in case Of a conhagation. If this il
not done the results may be most dis
asterous.

Avon Country Prosperous.

S. R. Greenwood, one of the promi-
nent citizens Of the Avon neighbor-
hood, was in Troy Wednesday. Mr..
Greenwood has been a resident of this
county for nearly quarter Of a cen
tury and says he thinks himself and
his neighbors are now entitled TO a
railroad which will soon pass through
his section OF the county. He is
quite enthusiastic over the prospective
prosperity that is just setting in
throughout the White Pine belt and
predicts a great future for his district.
He thinks large city will soon grow
up somewhere in the eastern. part ol
this county and predicts that it will be
located on the main line Of trans
continental road. From the grea
care with which the present survey il
being made throught that section he
is satisfied the intention is to build the
road on into Montana through The
Lolo pass, and that the extention vii
go west TO the coast.
Speaking of real estate values hi
says a sharp advance has set in an'
that those wishing to sell have it'll
trouble to find buyers.

Reproduce Custer Massacre.

The Custer massacre, which marks
the great Indian outrage Of recent
times, will be reproduced with wonder
full fidelity to detail at the Lewis and
Clark exposition on Thursday, August
10, when Umatilla Indians and sol
diers of the Oregon National Guard and
the Tenth United States Infantry will
take part. The massacre promises to
prove the most interesting and in
structive Of the big free outdoor at
fractions which have been provided by
the exposition management for the
western Worlds Fair.
1t was twenty-nine years ago, on
June 25, ITS, that Custer and his
troopers rode into the death trap on
the Little Big Horn River. Shortly
after crossing the river, hundreds Of
Sioux attacked the little band, which
resisted heroically, making last stand
in hand-to-hand contest in which
every trooper was killed. The only
survivor Of the dreadful massacre was
trumpeter whom Custer had sent,
early in the fray, to Major Reno for re-
endorsements.
The reproduction Of the massacre
at the exposition will have for its loca-
ton a plot of ground on the Governs
ment Peninsula by Gould's Lake, near
the river entrance to the fair. The
lay of the ground at this place is SIM
liar to the geography Of the Little Big
Horn, and this circumstance will ado
much to the interest Of the bloodles'
massacre. Indians from the Umatilla
Reservation, garbed in the war clothes
; Of the plains, will form the attacking
yarty, and the attack viii be maintained
by them until the last Of the soldier
representing Clusters band have fallen

For Early Fail Topcoat.

For the tailor-made coat the moder-
ately full coat sleeves. rather high and
square at the shoulder, but not empha-
sizing these lines to an exaggerated
degree, and the modified gigot quite
full at top and rather close below the
elbow. are the two models that have
the greatest vogue.
The gigot form may be secured by
the cutting of the plain sleeve, or may
be attained by laying the lower part
of the sleeves in flatly-stitched, small
vertical plaits.
There is no denying that the gigot
idea predominates in sleeve modes,
but 1t is a modified and chastened gig
OF tt we have accepted and shows
itself ,ather in the fact that the sleeve
is broader at the shoulder than any
point below than in exaggerated full
ness at the shoulder.

M9udos.ir Up"

A different chain of beads to match
every frock is the rule of the particu-
lar ones.
The green parasol is cool looking,
but not becoming background for
every face.
Net gowns are in high favor. One
buys the white net and has it dyed the
desired color.
Stripes are coming into favor again
and after the long reign of checks
they are rather a relief.
The all-fiower hat is not much in ev-
idence this season, delicate straws and
laces taking precedence.
1t is not so much the hat itself as
the angle at which it is worn and the
couture which it adorns that count.
Brodere Anglaise seems to be
about the only discovery of the season,
and it is in reality only revival of
an old style.

GirdIe Is Still Popular.

The prediction of the disappearance
of the high girdle has become nearly
as familiar as the one that has doomed
the bolero to extinction only to find it
shaking itself from the ashes of a
fleeing disfavor. to assume its same
old place in the wardrobe or a still
worthier one.
The girdle, as fact, is just as much
in evidence as ever, and, with the
princess gown or its effect waxing in
popularity, the girdle is likely to re-
main prevalent for another season at
least.
1t is still, too, in the latest gowns,
as pointed as ever. The fact is that the
girdle is suited to the wearer and, any
shape which is becoming is modish.
For a slight figure there is a worth
full suggestion in the cut where the
waist is swathed with deep, shaped
girdle, pointing low at the front and
extending half the width of the bodice
at the top, where it ends in two points.

is claimed that all the color that is ne
cessary can easily be obtained in the
Innings of different colors over which
white can be worn, or in the colored
girdles and sashes that are a very
necessary part of the finish of any eff
fective gown this summer. The prin-
cesse silk slips that are part and par
eel of every modern outfit make this
change of color feasible, and If silk
is not desired then lawn answers the
purpose equally well, so far as re-
CARDS color, and, of course, the effect
is rather lighter.

Saved from Suicide by Bath.

A keeper at the county Jail in Jer-
sey City made the discovery a few
days ago that Nicola Murdaco, a con-
demned Italian murderer, was in need
of a bath.
The tip was furnished by Edward
Tapeley, a negro murderer, who is
under sentence to hang one week be-
fore the date set for Murdaco's execu.
ton Tapeley said he strenuously OBJ
jected to confinement in the same
cell with the Italian unless "the dago
had a wash"
Murdaco was ordered to get into the
bathtub, but refused. He said he
would die first, and then six attend
ants yanked his clothes off and wash
ed him. Murdaco's yells were heard
in every part of the jail. Three or
four men held him down while others
scrubbed him from head to foot.
Murdaco tried to kill himself the
other day by twisting and pulling his
tongue until it bled at the roots. The
keepers believe the Italian had an
idea that he could commit suicide by
allowing the pores of his skin to close
up, and for that reason refused to
wash himself.

Record of Yellow Fever.

Yellow fever has always been re-
garded as an American plague, its
earliest and greatest ravages being in
the West Indies and in American
ports. In 1904 and 1914, however, it
was very violent at Gibraltar, and dur
ing the next quarter of century there
were a number of virulent outbreaks
in various Spanish cities. Norfolk
and Portsmouth, Va, were -avaged in
1855; Wilmington, N. c., in 1862, and
Savannah, Ca, in 1876. Between 1S47
and 1868 there were six periods of
scourge in New Orleans, the mortality
in each case averaging about $500.
In 1S7S-79 Memphis was almost depop-
ulated, there being 5.160 deaths in
1878 and 4s5 in 1879, though the larg-
err part of the population had fed from
the city. There were fever ravages
during the same years in New Orleans
and other gulf and south Atlantic
ports, the total number of deaths
from the scourge in the United States
during that year being 14,S09.
