MUST CARE FOR STOCK.
Department of Agriculture to Enforce
the Law.

WASHINGTON, July 6.-The de-
partment of agriculture has prepared
to institute suits against the railroads
of the country, including all of the big
Western and Southern lines, for viola
tons of the law which provides that
cattle in transit from one state to an
other after they have been in the cars
for 20 hours must be unloaded, watered
and rested for at least five hours. the
from s10O to $500 and the government
will seek to have the maximum penalty
imposed.
The law is an old one but it has been
a dead letter until recently. The
former legal adviser of the department
held that two witnesses to each Of
Tense were necessary to secure con-
viction. Two inspectors were mploy-
ed and secured a few convictions but
the railroad preferred to pay fines at
long intervals than to go to the trou-
BILE of complying with the law.
George McCabe, of Utah, who is ia
miliar with cattle shipping, was made
legal adviser to Secretary Wilson a
year ago and a new system was in
augurated. The 1900 inspectors and
taggers employed by the bureau OF
animal industry at the chief shipping
points, feeding stations and stock
yards, were instructed to keep rec
ord of all shipments of cattle, includ-
ing the time of their departure and ar
rival and whether or not they were fed
and rested. In this way evidence tnat
is declared to be absolutely conclusive
was secured in 1900 cases. Many OF
the roads want to compromise by pay
! ing fines in some few cases and nav
| ing the others dismissed and all OF
them promised to obey the law mere
after To do this some of the roads
will run cattle trains on passenger
train schedules to get them to thel1
destination within the % hours limit
| Others are putting on large stable
cars in which the cattle can eat, drink
and rest.

I.iOuid Air.

LIQUID air Is In it's infancy-where
steam was at the beginning and cleo
tricity at the middle Of the past CEN
fury. The first that was liquefied was
about half a wineglassful in amount
and cost at the rate Of $4,000 gallon.
Now the same amount costs a few
cents. Automobiles have been prOpel-
led by it; physicians have used it with
good results in cancer cases and as a
local anaesthetic in surgical operations.
1t may solve the garbage problem, as
1t causes tin cans, hair and other refuse
to burn briskly and completely, with
no smoke or odor. 1t is one Of the most
powerful of explosives, and when 1t
shall be thoroughly understood it may
become one Of the greatest factors In
the industrial advancement Of the
world.-Leslie' Weekly.

VlOLETS CURE CANCER.

Efficacy of Brew Made From Their
Leaves Apparently Proved.
That brew from violet leaves is an
effective cure for cancer may not be
new in theory, but two actual cures
are now reported.
Much interest has been taken in q
story in the London Lancet told by
DR.. Gordon of Exeter Of a man who
refused to be operated upon for cancer
on the tongue. Then violet leaves were
tried, the garden variety being found
preferable to the wild violet.
Every day he drank part of the brew
hot. The rest he used as a fomenta-
ton. That treatment has been con-
tinued since the beginning of Novem-
Der last, ana now nothing remains but
a tiny hard scar.
On reading this story a woman well
known socially wrote to the Lancet,
telling an even more remarkable story
of the cure Of cancer Of the liver by
violet leaves
Treated by a specialist without avail,
she grew morose and worse till violet
leaves were suggested by a friend.
Hopeless Of ever being cured, she new
ertheless tried it. She took Wine
glass Of the decoction several times
day and also applied cotton wool soak
ed in the hot liquor over the seat of the
cancer. The woman says she is now
completely cured.

NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS:
DRAWING MEN TO CHURCH.

What shall be done to bring men
into churcn?" asks the Washington
Post.
There are several things that might
be done. For one, the preacher in
stead of announcing dime novel socials
might have the clerk read out the
stock quotations and the standing of
the clubs. Instead Of taking up col
lection, he might make a blind pool
on the total attendance. Many peaple
would, Of course, come late and thus
create a pleasing uncertainty as to the
exact number up to the very end. the
men, in order to win the pot, might
take to packing the meeting, which is
just what the preacher wants.
Instead of hymns there might be
picture songs and instead of texts, tips
to preaching, that might be omitted
entirely Some men do not like
preaching at all. Others claim that
they get plenty of moral instruction
at home.
1t is difficult to devise a complete
scheme for drawing men irresistibly to
church. but perhaps as good a working
plan as any would be to pass an Ordi-
nance prohibiting them from going and
to station policeman at every church
door to enforce it. AS soon as it be-
came generally known that men were
prevented by the police from going to
church, there would be riot to get
in.

was a pathetic scene that moved even
the husband, but he was obdurate and
paid no attention to a suggestion that
she might return with him.
He said that it was best the child
should go with him, and the little girl

her father. It is understood that the
wife was at fault in the separation.

At the rear or loading end Of the hay

Supported ON the central post Of this
abutment is a windlass, from which a

A BAGGAGEMAST SCARE.
An Indianapolis baggage smaSner

An Indianapolis baggage smasner
just missed going to the hot place last
Monday. Nick Taf1an, newly acquired
citizen of Uncle Sans, hailing from
Roumania, has been engaged in mining
and blasting for so many years that
he had come to regard dynamite as
ordinary and commonplace as Fourth
of July shooting cracker. When, three
weeks ago, he decided to remove from
Martins Ferry, Ohio, to Indianapolis,
finding he had ten sticks of dynamite
in his household effects, and not wish
ing to lose them, he packed them in
his trunk and put the latter on the
train as regular baggage.
At indianapolis an old time baggage
smasher was in charge. He gripped
the Taflan trunk with fierce profan-
ity and sent it whirling from the car
to the platform.
Some good genius presided over the
pace ana tle uyHdlilllc, lHSledu VI

LOS ANGELES. CAL, July 6.-Scott,
the Death Valley plunger, who made a
wonderful strike in the desert near
Barstow, mas sprung a brand new SEN
sation in his freak career, from a poor
and obscure prospector to a gilded
plutocrat.
Scott has just made deposit of
$4,000 with the Sante Fe agent mere to
cover the price of a special train to
take him to Chicago. 1t is likely to
cost him nearly $4,000 for his little
private visit across the country. He
could have secured a special car and
travelled like Wall street magnate
for $500, but he scorned the suggestion.
He declares that he has sufficiently
fulfilled his desire to burn up the WILL
age of Los Angeles with his golden
flood and now has designs upon Chica-
go. Among other things he has done
here is the making of $500 presents
to hackmen, and the hiring of whole
floors of expesive hotels. When he is
out of money ne disappears in the
Mojave desert and in a few months
comes back loaded down with gold.

SERVICES OF JOHN HAY.

John Hays administration of the
Office of secretary of state, it is not
extravaganza or hero-worship to say,
was the most significant in our history.
Bridging, in his own diplomatic ex-
perience, the period between Lincoln
and Roosevelt, his career also bridged
over from the period of isolation to
that of active participation in the af-
fairs of the world.
If Mr. Hays administration of his
Office shall in the future appear to us
great, it will be due not entirely to his
own talents, but in part to the differ
ent position of his country. Mr. Hay
did not create the new conditions
they came through the Spanish war, the
acquisition of the Philippines and the
growth of our trade relations with the
orient. 1t was Secretary Hays part to
recognize the responsibilities that mad
come to his country and to grasp the
opportunities that were opened to it.
He rose to the occasion. He impressed
upon the people at home the gravity
of the crisis which had arisen in our
history and upon foreign governments
the fact that America meant to meet
all its responsibilities, whether ma
tional or International
Mr.. Hay was sometimes accused OF
being an Anglo:naniac, but there is nc
evidence that he was ever anything
but intensely American
During the Spanish war he was am
bassador to England and he understood
the eXreme value to mis- country of the
non-interference of Europe in our af-
fair with the Castilians. The surest
way to guard against interference was
to have an understanding with Great
Britain as to our intentions When
the British empire said hands off" il
meant the exact neutrality Of Europe
1t was Mr.. Hays diplomacy which
brought about this understanding with
out an alliance and without commit
ing this country to the support of any

One of Walla Walla's most enter
prising clothing stores is that of the
Bridge Clothing store, 40 East Main
street.
This store always has the best in
terest of it's patrons at heart and its
treatment of them is at all times the
most liberal.
The Bridge Clothing Company is not
an old establishment, but since 1t was
opened some six months ago by Alvin
Baumeister it's growth has been very
rapid and substantial.
1t is one of the new stores in Walla
Walla that has gone right ahead. It's
success is not unlike that secured by
Dan Wilson, the New Yorker, who OPP
ened a store some years ago in London,
England. The store next to Dams did
not altogether approve of him and MS
new store, so that the day he opened
it placed a sign in it's window which
Store Has Been Established so Years"
But Dan quickly got back at his crab
bed competitor as soon as he saw the
sign. He had a sign stuck up In his
window which read: ''This Store Is
One Day Old; Full Up With Brand
New Goods; Has No Old Goods That
Have Been in Stock so Years." The
people were quick to see the point, and
Dan was not long in receiving the big
gest end of their trade.
The people hereabouts appreciate the
brand new goods that are to be found
at the Bridge Clothing Companys.
The latest enterprise on the part of
the Bridge Clothing Company is the
giving of a beautiful 81 medallion free
to any of their customers when their
purchases amount to SIS. The $15
nurchase does not have to be made at
one time, but on the other hand, one
gets credit for each purchase made.
TIL handsome French medallion which
is given free is reproduced from an or
binary cabinet photograph. The merit
of the medallion is that finger marks,
moisture, gases Of the air or scratches,
which are the principle cause of photos
being ruined, have no effect on it. The
medallions being given out free by the
Bridge Clothing Company are manu-
featured by the American Medallian
Company and are guaranteed to last a
lifetime
Why not get one of these handsome
medallions? If you purchase your
goods at the Bridge Clothing Com
pany's Al; the most moderately priced
goods in the city, considering their
high quality.

The Hudson River Canyon.

Recent investigations Of the sea bot
tom of the Atlantic at distances of 100
miles and more off New York harbOr
have shown that part Of the old bed
Of the Hudson-now submerged
at the bottom of great canyon. AT
one period in the geological history OF
this continent the eastern coast was
some 1900 feet higher than now, and
in consequence the Atlantic ocean was
many miles from the present site OF
New York. The Hudson river on its
way to the sea appears to have had
for a part Of the way canyon at least
$500 feet deep and with width OF
less than two miles-Harper's Weekly.

II Eneland's continental or colonial

Of England's continental or colonial
projects.
When the Boxer uprising came, Pres
ident Mckinley and Mr.. Hay, who had
become his secretary Of state, went
forward Immediately on the platform
that the legations must be relieved be-
fore anything else. When that was
accomplished Mr.. Hay had an oppor-
tunity to set a new mark for American
diplomacy. The powers Of Europe were
ready to partition China then and there
if they could agree upon the spoils
which should go to each. Being pro-
nibited by our civilization from join
ing any such land raid, Secretary Hay
had before him the problem of prevent
ing the spoilation by others. By TAX
ing Immediately a firm stand for the
evacuation of Picking, he succeeded in
starting the foreign troops toward the
seaboard almost before the diplomats
of Europe OWNED under what inf1u-
ence they were moving. Had they been
able to agree upon a division of China,
probably Mr.. Hays plans would have
been wrecked: but he was fortunate in
selecting as the moment for his move
the time when the European powers
were unable to agree upon a counter
move. Thus China was saved for the
moment.
When the war between Russia and
Japan came, he mad his second oppor-
tunity to save the Chinese empire, and
grasped it in a note which will long
stand as one of the greatest achieve
ments of the single stroke Of the diplo-
mats pen. 1t put geographical limit
upon the war and made a clear distin-
ton between what the two powers
knew they were fighting about and
what they professed to have taken up
arms to defend. France, Germany and
England readily agreed that neither
japan nor Russia should swallow Chi
ma at the close of the war, and they
were greatly obliged to the American
secretary for making the suggestion
which none of them could have made.
Thus our policy in the far east is
based upon the principle that, while
we will trade with all countries, we will
threaten the integrity of none; and
while we will take our chances with
Europe in Chinese commerce, we will
look with disfavor on any scheme for
the sapping of Chinese nationality.
Fortunately our armament is such as
to make the assertion of such a prin
ciple serious.
The net result of Mr.. Hays oriental
diplomacy is that three great naval
powers are, for the present at least, in
accord on the integrity of China and
the open door. These three powers are
sufficient to keep the key to the Asiatic
question.
The country had few opportunities
to study Mr.. Hay at close range. He
was not a shirt-sleeve diplomat nor
car platform politician. He was
grave and dignified American, whose
mingling with the representatives of
older civilizations had served to polish
his manner and subdue the outward
expression of his Americanism. But
he was purely American and deeply
devoted to the essential interests of
his country. Those who knew him
we'll personally were we'll aware that
in him the springs of true greatness
had their origin in simple uprightness
of heart.

American SpIudees on London Dinner

LONDON, July 6.-George "A. kess-
Ter of New York entertained twenty
four American friends at the Savoy
hotel last night at the costliest dinner
ever given in this country. The court
yard of the hotel was flooded to
depth of several feet and dinner was
served in huge gondola built for the
occasion. The whole effect was wildly
suggestive of Venice. Around the
courtyard ran specially painted scenery
by an Italian artist. In another gon-
dola were several operate singers and
mandolin players, who renered selec-
tions during the dinner. Real swans
and ducks were introduced, while a
magnificent cake was borne to the
guests on the back of the smallest ele-
plant in Europe.
