All old.time Cough Syrups bind TIN

All old-time Cough Syrups bind the
bowels. This is wrong. A new idea
was advanced two yearsago in Kenne-
dy'S Laxative Honey and Tar. The
remedy acts on the mucous men,
branes of the throat and lungs and
looSenS the bowels at the same time.
1t expels all cold from the system. It
clears the throat, strengthens the
mucous membranes, relieves coughs,
colds, Group, whooping cough, etc.

Coal Oil Inspection.

The coal oil inspection bill now pend
ing before the legislature will proba.
bly, be defeated as it ought to be; not
because such inspection is not needed,
but because the bill discriminates in
| favor of the Standard Oil Company,
giving it an immense advantage over
its competitors in the cost of inSpec-
tiOn.
The measure provides for the in
spectOrS, to be appointed by the gov
ernor, salary of fifty dollars a month
and fees of one and a half cents for an
oil inspected in barrels, and one-half
cent for that inspected in tanks.
Since the Standard Oil Company
ships only in tanks, and it's competi-
tors in barrels, it can readily be
seen what an advantage would here be
given to the octopus.
Coal oil used in this state ought to
be inspected before it is offered for
sale. Everyone knows what wretch
ed light some of it yields; and the
very fact that the oil is liable to in
spection will insure better quality.
Bat the bill in its present shape ought
not to become a law.
In addition to the objection noted,
there are other serious defects in the
pre- posed measure. If each county
has an inspector, no assistant is ueces-
|sary, and the total cost OF the inspec-
ton should be paid by the companies
Offering the oil for sale and not by the
taxpayers of the county.
The legislature ought to provide for
the inspection Of coal oil, but not ac-
cording to the provision of the bill
now pending. Meridian Star.

CANDIDATE FOR GALLONS.
Thirteen-Year-old Child Victim of
Monster-Made Girl Drunk and
Married Her.

A story of immortality and crime
that is revolving in the extreme has
been brought to light in the cotton
mill district in this city. Jennie
Bradley, a girl not yet quite 13 years
old, was enticed from her home in
the CRANKY village, to the home OF
Mrs. Julia Collins on Sixth street in
the Olympia village on the night OF
August IL, on the pretext that the
child was to be taken to a prayer
meeting.
Instead, however, the child was de-
tained at the Collins house among a
party Of carousing men and women.
She was given whiskey to drink until
she was in state of intoxication-
While in this condition she was either
persuaded or coerced into being mar
r;ed to isaac ais Pat Hallman, the
ceremony being performed by Magis-
trate S. I. Riley. Hallman is an en-
ploye in one Of the cotton mills and
one Of the party at the house Of Mrs.
Collins during the evening. Hallman,
it is alleged, was married at the time
and his wife, from whom he is living
apart, resides in North Carolina

New York. Aug. s1.-Bradstreet's
tomorrow will say:
Better weather and definite assur-s
ances of large crop yields stimulate
fall and winter buying, which is ap-
parently at or close to its zenith
Most leading markets, report buyers
present in unprecedented numbers,
and the volume Of Aug. sales exceed
records for that month, except at a.
few months where weather condi-.
tions have been unpropitious. Sales
of dry goods. clothing, shoes, leather,
hardware and other iron and steel
products and lumber are very large
The fall shipping season is also ap-
parently at it's height, shipping forces
are working overtime, and the rail-
roads are working to their full ca
pacity. a smaller movement Of win
ter wheat has partly relieved the
strain on the railroads and made for

that cereal, which, however, has sag
ged slightly as the feeling grows that
with springlike weather winter
wheat will prove a large crop. Be
ports from abroad are Of better than
caller anticipated wheat crops, which
seem likely to affect prices still fur
ther. The crop situation otherwise is
very promising. The promise of cool
or weather makes for increased gac-
tivity in industry. The iron and steel
markets are a little quieter, due
mainly to scarcity Of supplies rather
than to weakening of demand, which,
evidenced by advances in pig iron,
old material and some finished lines,
Is still very heavy.

That was a shame the way those

people liked to get out into the

folks. but that they did not like to
have the country folks come
to the city aad mix up with them and
theirs, and that kind Of behavior
goes to prove it. Your city candl-
dates had been all over the county
and had been treated in becoming
manner, but just so soon as the coun-
try man arose in your city, there was
some sirnpleton ready to try and
make sport Of them. And allow me,
please. to ask those Smart Alexis a
ouestion. Where would the city be II

is the one that has to feed all those

something at the election on the 2Sth
to make men lively and then sleepy.
Though I did not see any Of it, yet
could tell it was there by the actions
of some of those present.

never agree to what the News and

ditch, remembering that it is better
to fight and lose than to never fight
at all. So hurrah for Manning.

A We'll Conducted
 County Hospital

4 visit to the county hospital yes terday disclosed the fact that there has been considerable i'm rovement in the affairs of that institution since the new steward, J. J. O'Langhlin, took charge. MT. OLaughlin is all experienced hospital steward and served several years in the Bellevue hospital in New York city and has some fifteen years experience in the business. He has made a number of changes in the affairs of the hospital that provide much more comfort and pleasure for those of the unfortunates that are compelled to be inmates oi the hospital. There are at the pres ent time over fifty patients in the hospital. suffering from all kinds 0. diseases and broken bones and limbs There are six women in the hospital in the woman's ward,
 In conversation with the reporter all of the patents stated that they were more than pleased with the treatment they were receiving and that the meals provided for them was all that could be desired, and especially pleased with the treatment received from the doctors, KOons and Mcbride the latter taking the place oi Dr. Bacon, while he is away on a trip east. At the present time there is no dls- content among the patients, as is gen. erally the case in an institution oi that kind. As soon as any of the patients have recovered sufficiently to leave the hospital and wish to go to parts of the country where they have friends that can take care of them they are provided with transportation by the board of supervisors and MT. Chss Kreuder who has the hospital contract, sees to it that they are pro- vided with little spending money to ielp them on their way.
