good laugh. He tells the following

city a few weeks ago and through
friends secured work at the dairy OF
Mr. Geo. Wheatley, u,ed Sunday at
the Kings Daughters Home and was
buried at the city cemetery the fcl-
lowing afternoon.
The deceased was from Appenz-
well, Schwiz, province of Germany,
and was unable t., speak word OF
English. His case aroused feeling
of sympathy among our people and
everything was done that could be
done and comfort given him by Mr..
H. A. Hoffman, Father Kostenbrcck
and the good ladies of the King s
Daughters Home, that was possible
until life was no more. A subscrip-
ton was taken up by Mr.. Huffman
to defray the expenses of burial and
the remains were taken in charge of
by Somer Bros. Mr.. J. A. Fuchs
was at one time wealthy citizen of
Appenzwell, but lost his fortune by a
bank failure in his province and came
| to this country in his old age to re-
gain all that he possibly could He
brought many excellent letters of re-
commentator with him, and Mr. H
A. Hoffman states that he came from
his own home in Germany and that
1.-THE recommendations were genuine.
Mr.. Fuchs was tenderly nuTsed
and cared for by Mrs. Bowers ane
Mrs. Charley Roy, who did all withir
their power to bring him back te
iheaith. While their efforts were il
vain, their work was none the les:
noble and self-sacrihcing.

Apples 90 Cents Each.

Apples from Wenatchee valley
Washington, grown In 1905. are SELL
ing in New York city for 90 cents
each. A news item concerning the
fruit says: "The cause for this re-
markable high price, 1t is stated, is
on account of the scarcity at this sea,
son of high grade fruit. There are
on the market in New York small
apples Of poor quality which were
picked before becoming mature. The
really high-grade fruit at this sea-
son of the year is from the state of
Washington. The keeping qualities,
together with the flavor of the apples
produced here, Is said to be the reason
for the high prices asked"

FAILED To SECURE NoN-sUIT.
Taking Testimony In the Huntington
Case Resumed.

Taking Testimony In the Huntington
Case Resumed.
In the Huntington case today a
hard-fought legal battle occurred over
motion by the defense that the ex-
sheriff's bond be taken from the jury
and the record. Had this move been
successful 1t would have been equal
to a non-suit, as the attorneys of the
county would have been helpless with
out the bond in evidence. However,
after Attorneys Greene and Smith had
argued at length upon the motion. 1t
was overrulcd by Judge Ellis this
afternoon.
After the motion had been denied
the taking of testimony in the case
was resumed. The case will probably
not be finished today as the defense
did not commence upon the presenta-
ton of its testimony until this after
noon. In order to finish the case to-
day night session would be neces-
sary.
A. II. Huntington, ex-sheriff of Ba-
ker county, and an important witness
for the county in the present suit, ar
rived last night from Edmonton, Can
ada. He was delayed in reaching the
city because of the fact that the no
tice of the trial which was sent him
was delayed in the recent flood.
Mr.. Huntington was placed on the
stand this morning and his testimony
occupied the forenoon until about II
o'clock. At that time william Smith
attorney for the bondsmen, moved
that the bond be taken from the jury
and The record. This was objected to
by the attorneys for the county. and
the motion was debated at length
When the noon recess was taken Mr.
Smith had not yet concluded his ar
gument in favor of the motion.

Our "EXCERPTA" coffee pot
is made especially for pulverized
coffee and even a child can make
delicious coffee with the Excerpta.
The principle upon which the
Excerpta is constructed absolutely
prevents the escape of the aroma,
and the essence thus preserved
imparts to the beverage delicious
flavor which no other coffee pot
can produce. You have often heard
the remark; 81 wish coffee tasted
as good as it smells!' This was
because the best part of the coffee
went into the fumes and the liquid
was robbed of just that much. The
"Excerpta" saves all that is lost
through the use of other coffee pots,
and never fails to produce the de-
sired result.

dore F. Phillips and f. b. Phillips OF

tins do business under the name of the
Phillips oil company.
The complainnnts allege that some time
in June. 1901 respondent, w l.. G. Phettle-
place, representing the Phettleplace Oil
company. induced the Phillips oil COM
pany 10 become its sole agent In the states
OF Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and
also TO advance 5000 for the use OF re-
spondant company in order TO further It's
business interests Complainants re-
ceived 80 shares OF stock In the respon-
dent company as collateral for the loan
and the agreement OF Phettleplace was
that the company should buy back said
30 shares at the end or n year, and as
evidence OF the agreement gave his per
sonal undertaking in writing 10 repur-
chase the stock
The complainants entered into the pur-
chase OF the various produtcs OF the re-
spondent corporation, but through the
failure Of said corporation to furnish sat
isfactory goods, and other just causes, II
desired 10 terminate the agency at the
end Of the year. Later IL was agreed thar

pose such sum as s necessary from what

Phetteplace acted for it In making the
contracts that he did. That the 5000 was
borrowed OF the complainants but that II
sold so shares OF stock to the complain
ants That Il made an agreement with
complainants whereby they were TO retain
$500 or that Il ever shipped complainants
goods OF inferior quality.
The case was held for advisement
