FIGHT OF GAS COMPANIES.
North Yakima Council Fills Up the
Pine Line Trenches.

The following from Saturdays Yak
ina Republic gives the gas situation
in that city:
Under orders from Mayor Fechter
Street Commissioner Adams and
gang of men are at work filling up
the trenches that have been dug in
the alleys of the city by the North
Yakima Improvement company 9TH
erwise called the acetylene gas COM
pany.
This action was taken upon the ad-
vice of the best legal talen that could
be obtained, on the ground that the
company has no franchise and conse-
quently has no right to dig up the
streets and alleys of the city. The en-
forcement of the order is under the
personal supervision of City Marshal
Curran. \ dirt scraper is being used
and all the trench that is open will be
filled in a few hours.
Attorney Fred Parker, who repre-
sents the gas company, said this after
noon:
It am at present preparing papers
that will be brought before Judge
Rigg tomorrow asking for an order
restraining the city from interfering
with the work in any manner. There
is little doubt that the city Is acting
in a high-hdnded manner in stoBping
| this work when we have franchise
under which we can go ahead. The
action of the council in attempting tt
revoke the franchise was certainly
| illegal and we shall go ahead with th'
construction as soon as the writ Il
granted"
The men who will start the erection
of a coal gas plant under the Ander
son franchise will arrive in this cit!
from Spokane Saturday and will nm
mediately commence work. The!
say that they will go ahead with thei
work under any circumstances wheth
err the acetylene people finish thei
plant or not. Judge Rigg is at presen
i'm the eastern part of MS district Il

1ut no one in this city seems to know
his eact location. He will return {

cases will be heard before him an

Pocatcllo. Idaho, which has borne
the reputation of being the toughest
town on the Oregon Shcrt Line. for
the past 20 years, has just been invad-
ed by the Y. NJ. G. \, and last SAT-
urday H. w. Stone. secretary of that
organization organized a strictly rail-
road association with "A membership of
700 at that place.
Mr. Stone passed down the .. r, Il
y. Sunday night to his home in Port
iand and speaks in the most enCour-
aging terms of the new society, the
only strictly railroad branch of the
order west of Cheyenne, where the
Union Pacific supports and sustains a
strong railroad body of the Y. NJ. c. a.
For the past year the younger and
more progressive railroad men at Po-
catello of whom there are about 1000,
have conducted a campaign for the
suppression of gambling in that city,
with excellent results, and as a con-
sequence of this movement this rail-
road Y. NJ. c. A. has been organized
and a campaign started for the cree
ton of a $4,000 building in which
the Oregon Short Line will lend ma
terial assistance.
Pocatello. being u railroad and an
Indian town, has borne a bad reputa-
ton and has long been the rendezvous
of the toughs from all the surround
ing states and territories Whiskey
peddling among the Bannock and Fort
Hall Indians has been carried ON per-
sistently, in spite of the authorities
the old settlers winking at the law
and encouraging the traffic in order
to keep up the rent of their old shackS
which were used for saloons and gam
bling dens.
Finally a group of railroad men or
eanized a fight on gambling and
against the old fogies, the bootleggers
and gamblers, have succeeded in clos
ing the town practically tight and this
splendid body of 700 decent, mora
young men employed on the Shor
Line, has been organized.
The new building will be fully
equipped with an excellent gymnasi
um, baths. swimming pool, Amusement
parlors, library, reading and assembly
room, and Pocatello thus takes a com
mendable forward step.

A MODERN CAGLIOSTRO,
Death of Philippe Laudard, the Cars
"Mystery Man."

| Philippe Laudard, of whom wonder
| in connection with his remarkable in
fuoIce over the Gar, has died at st.
Julian l'Arbresle, in his native de-
! partment Of the Rhone. He cured by
suggestion and touch.
The London Telegraph says Laudard
began life at Lyons as a butchers as
sistant and delivery man. Having q
desire 10 become a doctor, Philippe
managed to attend lectures in the
Lyons School of Medicine, but his
poverty and his peculiar calling were
against him. He was never able to
obtain medical degree. He called
himself chemist and began to travel.
His fame as healer reached the
cars CT some Of the Russian Grand
Dukes, and he was invited to st.
Petersburg. There he was. it is af
firmed, particularly patronized by the
Gar and the Czarina. To the latter
lie predicted that she would have a
son. 1t is said that the Car tried
hard to get a medical degree for the
healer from the Paris faculty, but
failed. BY some he was regarded as
quack, and his success at the Rus
sian court caused him to be bracketed
with Cagliostro for impudence, au-
dacity and intrigue. Two persons in
Paris have, however, testified to his
remarkable curative power. One is
Dr Encausse, and the other NJ. Serge
Basset, dramatist and writer on theat-
rical matters for the Figaro. DR.. En-
causse distinctly states that he saw
Philippe cure child afflicted with
tubercular meningitis. The healer
looked at the child, and then asked
all the persons present to give their
word of honor that they would not
say anything evil of the absent for
two days. This extraordinary request
was complied with. and the child re-
covered as If by enchantment M.
Serge Basset says that Philippe cured
instantaneously his son, who had been
given up as hopeless by the doctors.
