nal vigilance is the price of liberty" is
it not about time we were practicing
a little of that virtue? These vampires
of special privilege have succeeded in
overturning most every fundamental
principle of our government and it is
reeking with corruption from its foun-
tain head to it's tiniest tributaries.
The era of corruption, in high places,
is surely in full swing, and the money
power has certainly succeeded in pro-
longing its origin by working upon
the prejudices of the people in pretty
good shape. Wealth has been con-
centrated in the hands of the few faster
than ever was known in history, and If
not checked soon The result will be a
republic merged into monarchy.
Just as sure as night follows day. If
the same policy is carried out for the
next decade that we have had in the
past, our republic will be little more
than dream.
Respectfully submitted for public
consideration. C. Cos.

NEWS OF THE STATE.
A Brief Summary of News Gathered From
All Parts Of the State.

~ Drist summary OF news Udtnere0 from
All Parts of the State.
G. H. Brace, now waiting trial in
Jail at Spokane for forgery. caps the
Climax for ingratitude. He went to
that city stranger, and J. Wingard
gave him employment in his store and
took him into his family as a boarder.
He rewarded the kindness by clipping
with his benefactor's wife.
Dudham & Scott, who run mill at
Deming, bought some timber near
that city, and the lumber cut was
something prodigious, says the Reueille.
twenty-five logs furnished 159, ,299 feet.
From 21 logs, 144,76l feet were cut;
from another 81 logs 172,7S3 feet of
lumber was procured. A total of 12O
logs produced 724.222 feet, or an aver.
age OF 6,O36 feet per log.
The allotment of funds made by the
Quartermaster General of the army, at
Washington lately, for the improve
ment of military posts includes the
following for Vancouver Barracks {:
To continue the construction OF the
new barracks begun three years ago,
to replace the old frame buildings with
new ones of modern type, for two dou.
BILE barracks for four companies, head
quarters for twelve companies OF in.
fantry and two companies of field ar
tillery. $S5.0OO.
The controversy over the name OF
the town of Pogue or Alma is in
a fair way to be settled. Senator
Pogue, for whom the residents named
the town, has withdrawn consent to
the use OF his name and Oksnogan
will probably be selected. The postal
authorities changed the name of the
postoffice at Alma six months ago,
owing to superhuity of Almas in the
Western States. The residents were
allowed to select q new name and
chose Pogue. With the land boom
that has come to Pogue through the
beginning OF the irrigation project
many new people have come to the
town who object to the sound OF the
Senator's name. The Commercial
Club took up the matter and decided
to call the town Okanogan, provided
they could get Senator Pogue's con-
sent to the change. This has now
been granted and the matter will be
amicably arranged.

Height Of the Atmosphere.
Chicago Tribune

One hundred and thirty-one miles is
the height of the atmosphere as meas
ured by Prof. T. J. ]. See, who deter.
mines the thickness of the air envel-
ope by noting the difference between
tho time of sunset and the complete
disappearance OF blue from the sky.
The moment at which the blue
changes into black can be observed
quite easily with approximate certain.
ty by the naked eye when the air is
clear, and by trigometry may be ascer.
tanned the distance below the horizon
of the sun at the moment of change.
BY this means may be calculated the
height of the smallest illuminated par
ticles of oxygen and nitrogen which
give to the sky its bluest tint by the
reflection of the smallest wave lengths
of the suns light.
The instant change from blue to
black is possibly little difficult OF
exact observation, but the method is
not more doubtful than that based on
the observation of shooting stars. The
shooting star method gives q result
not greatly differing from the vanish
ing blue method. The former gives
the height of the atmosphere at 1O9
miles.

sensible persons are cautioned not to
have anything to do with them.
A cigar tilted upward in the direc.
tion OF the nose is an unerring token
of an energetic and impatient charac.
ter, and, on the contrary, cigar which
is held in the opposite direction
namely, inclined toward the chin
betokens melancholy and the habit Of
indulging in day-dreams. A cigar
which is held steadily in horizontal
direction is an index of sans froid, in
difference and very often OF unscrupu-
lousness and want OF character.
That a mans profession or trade
may, in many instances, be learned
from the manner in which he smokes,
l maintain as a proof of the truth of
this statement that politicians, as a
rule, jealously guard cigar between
their lips and smoke it until it burns
their nose and mOustache, both OF
which acts are to be expected from
men who are as a class rather selfish
and greedy. By similar reasoning it
is easy to prove that persons who gnaw
and roll with their lips the end OF a
cigar until it becomes shapeless lump
are extremely suspicious and rarely
put complete trust in any one.

lndOlent person., aud, on the other
hand, the man who grasps it so firmly
between his teeth that marks are left
on the amber mouthpiece. is nervous
and high-strung.
Generosity. courtesy and loyalty are
the characteristics OF a man who fills
his pipe recklessly and rapidly and
who sends forth pufrs Of smoke, but ad-
mirable though his character is in
these respects, his friendship is not
likely to last very long, and implicit
confidence should at no time be placed
in him. Goodness, reserve and eau.
tion are, on the contrary, the saliant
characteristics Of q man who fills his
pipe slowly and methodically, and who
smokes with the regularity of an au.
tomaton.
The results, however, obtained from
q pipe are not by any means equal in
value to those which are furnished by
q cigar. Many smokers carry their
cigars in the upper left hand pockets
OF their vests, and the sole reason why
they do is because they want to have
them at hand whenever they feel de-
sire to smoke. They may have . doz.
en- cigar cases, yet they will not use
them, simply because it takes q little
longer to open case and take cigar
out OF it than it does to take a cigar
from the vest.pocket. In other words,
these men are disinclined at any time
to make any gesture which is not ab-
solutely necessary.
OF quite different type are those
who bite off the end of the cigar with
their teeth. Prodigals and devil.may-
care fellows they are, and woe to him
who loans them any money, except ON
the best security. Cigars, the ends Of
which are bitten off in this manner,
are very apt to unroll, and time must
be spent in arranging them and must
be thrown away, all of which is con.
vincing proof that men who act thus
set no value on time or money.
Fastidious men, after lighting their
cigars, hold them not only between
their teeth and their lips, but also
with two, three, four, or even all the
fingers Of the left hand, and, after
smoking for awhile, they remove them
from their mouths and examine the
lighted ends carefully TO see il every
thing is in order, and especially if the
fire is burning steadily and evenly.
Men who act thus never waste any
words. and are generally shrewd and
prudent. As a rule, they are worthy
of confidence, which cannot be said Of
those who send forth the smoke from
the two corners OF their mouths 10 two
divergent jets, since they are eccentric
and unreliable.
Men who are quick.tempered, or of
. lively temperament, hardly touch
the tip OF the cigar with their teeth,

nADE FROr1 NATIVE ROOTS
SAFE AND RELIABLE.

That the roots Of many native plants,
growing wild in our American fore. Il.
possess remarkable properties for the cure
of human maladics is well proven. Ev. II
the untutored Indian had learned the
curative value OF some of these and
taught the early settlers their UeS. The
Indian never liked work SO he Wanted his
SQuaw to get wsll as soon as possible that
she might do the work and let him hunt.
Therefore, he dug "papOOSe root for her,
for that was their great remedy for fe
rial" weaknesses. DIR. Pierce uses the
II" root-called Blue Cohosh-in his
,'av0ritc Prescription" skillfully com.
.:cd with other agents that make II
more effective than any other medicine in
curing all the various weaknesses and
painful arrangements peculiar to women.
Many afflicted women have been saved
from the operating table and the sur
geOn'S knife by the timely use of Doctor
Piercc's FavOrite Prescription. Tender
ness over the lower pelvic region, with
backache, spells of dizziness, faintness,
bearing down pains or distress should not
go unheedcd. a course of "Favorite Pre-
scription" will work marvellous benefit
in all such cases. and generally effect q
permanent cure if persisted in for a rca-
sOnable length of time. The "Fayorite
Prescription is a harmless agent, being
wholly prepared from native medicinal
roots, without drop of alcohol in its
make up. whereas all other medicines,
put up. for sale through druggists for
woman's peculiar ailments, contain large
quantities Of spirituous liquors. which
are very harmful, especially to delicate
women. "Favorite Prescription" con-
tains neither alcohol nor harmful habit
forming drugs. All its ingredients arc
printed on each bottle wrapper. 1t is
powerful invigOrating tonic, imparting
health and strength in particular to the
organs distinctly feminine. For weak
and sickly women, who are "worn-out,"
or dcbilitated. especially for women who
work in store, Office. or ST hool room. who
sit at the typewriter or sewing machine,
or bear heavy household burdens, and for
nursing mothers, DIR. Iicrcc'S Favoritc
Prescription will prove a priceless benefit
because of its health restoring and
strengthening power.

and after two or three puifs they take
II from the mouth and hold it in the
hand. In other matters they act SIM
liarly; that is, they do everything by
hts and starts and find it impossible
TO adhere very long to any fixed course
OF action.
Absent-minded men, on the other
hand, frequently let the cig,r go out,
and, if they are not very choice in

Akin to them are the men who, after

CiCAROLOGY.
How Handling and Smoking Tobacco Is an
Index Of Character.


The character OF a stranger can be
readily discovered if one observes the
manner in which he smokes, whether
it be pipe, cigar or cigarettes. The
unobserver may doubt this, and imag.
inc there is very little difference be-
tween one smoker and another, but if
be will closely observe he will find out
that character can be read, and in
most instances correctly, by watching
the smoker.
No rules, however, have been laid
down as to the manner in which
man shall smoke, and, as no two men
smoke in exactly the same manner, it
is possible to learn the character of
every smoker whom one may meet.
The man who holds his pipe care
lessly in the corner of his mouth, let
ting it hang down. is a nonchalant,
