Total, &c. & O. E.) 800. s7,616.2o
OF this sum the larger part is
made up by the bills of the Bismarck
Water company on old account In
the past little track seems to have
been kept, under the old contract
with the water company, of the water
used for flushing sewers and street
sprinkling and the years have rolled
by unheeded until the bills came in
to paralyze the council: The water
company's bill for $3.50 is for the
difference in the contract price for
the use of several hydrants, put in
some years ago, and the rental paid
by the city. Under the contract the
rental for these hydrants was to be
500 but was only paid for at the
rate of $50. This difference has con-
tinued to grow through all the years
until it has come to a. point where it
must be met and settled in some way.
1t will be noted that many of the
bills are over a year old, and in
frequent instances the work was per-
formed or the goods delivered long be-
fore the bill was rendered. Many of
the bills are for labor performed by
men who badly need their earnings.
They ought certainly to be paid at the
earliest possible moment. Merchants
are equally entitled to their money.
If the council feels that the esti-
mate submitted by the city auditor
and embodied in the pending appro-
priation ordinance is as low as can be
safely made, and the above items of
Indebtedness are included therein, it
will make the levy for the coming
year $26,9S4, which will place the total
city tax levy in the neighborhood of
GO mills, the largest in the history of
the corporation. The appropriation
last year was s23,54672, and the tax
levy SO 4-10 mills.

owing to lear that a majority of the men
would not obey.
Whlle the repression and arrest Of the
leaders undoubtedly were a great factor
IN bringing about the present situation.
iC ls apparent that the moment was i'll

III uhe temper TO support it. As a con-
sequence the revolutionary leaders have
suffered severe loss of prestige and the

they worked have beer greatly Injured

Inc government. which had prenared
Tor the worst. holding military trains in

Lynchers to BE Punished.

Three OF the six negroes accused OF the
murder OF the Lyerly family in North
Carolina, were taken from the Jail at
Salisbury and hanged to a neighboring
tree. The mob was composed for the
most part OF the lawless section of the
inhabitants of Montgomery and Rowan
counties. Nevertheless it is known that
many wealthy farmers, neighbors Of the
murdered Lyerlys, also participated.
Three white are under arrest as ring
leaders of the mob, and an effort is be-
ing made to release them, as there is
fear that one or two of them might turn
states g evidence. The governor is work
ed up to pitch of intense indignation
over the Iynching, and declares that if
it be the last event of his political career
he will secure the punishment OF the
guilty men. The jail is guarded by
militia, 186 strong, TO prevent the re-
lease OF the lynchers, and the three ne
groes who escaped the lynchers have
been taken to Charlotte for safe keeping.

LABOR'S LAW DEMANDS.
Speaker Cannon will Defend Con
gress and Republican Party.

Danvile, ILL.,, Aug. 6.-When Speaker
Cannon is renominated for congress on
the 10th he will deliver a speech of ac-
ceptance in which he will plunge into the
labor question. He will accept the gage
of battle hurled by President Gompers
OF the American Federation OF Labor,
and defend congress and the republican
party against the charge that labor's
demands did not receive their proper
recognition.
He will take up three questions: The
eight hour bill, the anti-iDjunctiOn bill
and the educational provision of the
immigration and naturalization bills
He will contend that the eight-hOur law
now on the statutes is as effective as it
could be, and that the bill printed by
labor is absurd in its provisions, penal
izing the wOrkingman for putting in
more than eight hours on any work that
may be performed in establishments
having any sort OF contract with the
government.
1t would require employees to convince
themselves that their employers we're do
ing business with the government, for if
ignorant of that fact they would have
to pay 50 every time they worked a few
minutes longer than the prescribed eight
hours. He will hold that Gompers and
the legislation committee Of the Ameri
can Federation Of Labor is responsible
for the defeat OF the anti-iniunction bill.
The house committee on judiciary was
ready to report an injunction bill, which
was prepared by R. W. Fuller, agent of
the different railway brotherhoods, and
which was approved by President Roose-
velt, Attorney General Moody and Com
missioner of Corporations Garfield. 1t
provides that no injunction should be
issued in labor disputes unless notice for
| hearing has been served on both sides.
| GOmpers antagonized this measure,
and the president warned him that his
antagonism would probably defeat the
bill Gompers insisted on a more radi-
cal measure, and Speaker Cannon will
| charge that but for his attitude the 60
| luton of the problem acceptable to the
| railroad men OF the country would have
been reached. He will charge, also, that
I Gompers at first insisted on an educa-
/ tional test in the immigration and natu-
ralization bill. Differences OF opinion
arose among the ranks OF organized
labor, and Gompers subsequently with
drew his opposition, sending word to
The Colfax gazette. [volume] (Colfax, Wash.) 1893-1932, 1906-08-10

Speaker Cannon that the educational
test would not make an issue in the
coming campaign. His speech OF ac
ceptance will be devoted to a discussion
OF trusts, prosperity, wages and current
political topics. II is authoritatively
asserted that the convention will not be
made the occasion Of a Cannon boom for
the presidency. The speaker is OF the
OPINION that TO have such boom
originate with a gathering that may be
presumed to speak his wishes would not
snow becoming mOdesty nor becoming
political astuteness.

An Abundance of Gold.

Reports from South Africa are to the effect
that this year the gold output will be more
than 800, ,000, 900, and as there is no diminu-
tion of the gold production of other countries,
it follows that 1906 will far surpass all pre-
vious figures. The record of cures made by
the celebrated Hostetter's Stomach Bitters far
surpasses that of all other stomach medicines.
The reason for its success is very plain when
you remember the fact that it has often affect
ed cures after other remedies had failed. II
you have never tried the Bitters get bottle
today and see for yourself what wonderful
medicine it is in cases of poor appetite, head
ache, vomiting, cramps, diarrhoea, dyspepsia,
indigestion and malaria. Don't start on your
vacation without taking along a supply of the
Bitters to counteract the effect of strange
eating and drinking.

New Rolling Pin.


A Pennsylvania man has invented
a rolling pin which has an attach
ment which feeds flour on the dough
while the latter is being rolled, thus
preventing the rolling pin sticking to
the dough The rolling pin carries
trough and a dredger for flour, by
which the dough is more or less COW
cred while it is under manipulation
on the holding board The rolling
pin is of any suitable construction.
the handles being detachable and the
roll turning on the handles. The
ends of the trough are attached to the
handles and extend above the top of
the roll, the sides of the trough ex-
tending so close to the roller that the
latter can barely turn without contact
with the trough. Thus the rolling pin
is surmounted by a trough, which is
open at the bottom, save as the roller
itself forms a bottom to the trough.
Inside the trough is hollow cylin-
der, formed of perforated sheet metal,
the cylinder moving within the
trough and closed by a cover. When
the cylinder or dredger is partly full
of -four and is placed on top of the
roller the latter can be so operated as
to sprinkle more or less flour onto the
roller. whence it will be carried onto
the dough. A little experience gives

Habit-forming Medicines

Whatever may be the fact as to many
of the so-called patent medicines con-
tanning injurious Ingredients broadly
published in some journals of more or
less influence, this publicity has certainly
been of great interest in arousing needed
attention to this subject It has, in
considerable measure, resulted in the.
most intelligent people avoiding such
foods and medicines may be fairly sus-
pected of containing the Injurious ingre-
dents complained of Recognizing this
fact some time ago, DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo,
were, and published broadcast all the.
ingredients of which his popular medi-
cines are composed. Thus he has COM
pletely forestalled all harping critics and
all opposition that might otherwise be
urged against his medicines, because they
are now OF KNOWN COMPOSITION Fur
thermore, from the formula printed on
every bottle wrapper, it will be seen that
these medicines contain no alcohol or
other habit-forming drugs Neither do
they contain any narcotics or injurious
agents, their ingredients being purely
vegetable, extracted from the roots of
medicinal plants found growing in the
depths of our American forests and OF
well recognized curative virtues.

cases of diseases, becomes highly objec-
tionable from its tendency to produce a
craving for stimulants, DR.. Pierce en-

Patent Office Breaks Records.

The year 1905 broke the Patent Of
flee record. The total receipts were
81, 900, and the department enjoy
ed the distinction, rare in govern
ment affairs, of paying its own ex-
penses and turning over to the Treas
ury profit of $327,00O.
More than $1,000 patents were
granted during the year; that being
the largest number in the history of
the office. At this rate the total num-
Der issued since the establishment of
the department will soon reach the
million mark.
Just now the automobile industry is
the chief field for the inventor. There
has been a great falling off in pat
ents on agricultural machinery, where
there is supposed to be little room
left for invention.

FoRETELLs ACTION OF TIDES.
Wonderful Machine Used by United
States Coast Survey.

A machine that prophesies is an
engine in use by the coast survey at
Washington d. c., which can and does
predict the time of high and low tide
for a given locality, and makes these
predictions for a year in advance. Its
performance is not limited to year,
but that is the maximum of work it is
usually called upon to do 1t is COM
pact and delicate to degree not easy
to appreciate. To make these tidal
predictions, which are issued in the
form of a fat book of tables every
year by the survey, the machine is
first set then operated by hand. AS
may be surmised, the setting of the
machine is the point at which accurate
mechanism and the human brain join
forces. There are nineteen factors to
be determined in making tidal pre-
dictions Each factor alters all the
rest. Hence the machine is so con-
structed that an alteration of one fac
tor has its effect on the others How
this is done is understood in meas
ure by noting that there is a getting
of nineteen dials, with pointers. Each
pointer is on pulley mounted eccen-
trically on it's shaft, and over this
pulley passes chain which goes from
one to another. Obviously if the &C.
centricity of one pulley is altered it
has it's proportionate effect on all the
rest. The engine was invented by
Prof William Terrell, who presented
it to the government without charge
for his idea. 1t cost originally but
$500 and does the work of forty eX-
pert computers.

Ancestors of the Doc.

DR.. Lindsay Johnson. the celebrated
opthalmologist, says that the dog has
two ancestors, one rOund-eyed, the
other oval-eyed- The first is the n.y.
ena, the second the bear, through the
raccoon. All dogs descend from these
animals The corpus niger" or black
body of pigment in the eye of the
horse, which has puzzled veterinar-
ians, naturalists and biologists SO
much, provides, through the opthal-
moscope, new means of tracing the
ancestry and relationship of the horse.

TAUGHT From a Window.

A schoolmaste teaching from a
window was an unusual sight recently
witnessed in Gournoceral, France. The
mayor had dismissed the schoolmaster
but the later barricaded himself in his
school, so as not to be expelled pend
ing an appeal to the project of the de-
partment. The town then beheld the
extraordinary sight of the children
standing in the street outside, and be-
ing taught through the window by the
schoolmaster. The teacher triumphed,
for the mayor finally yielded.

Beneficial Effects of Yawnins.

Yawning is beneficial. 1t serves the
purpose of lung ventilation. The
lungs are not filed or exhausted by
ordinary respiration. There is a GER
tain quantity of air which physiolo-
gists call residual air. left in the re-
cesses of the lungs after the ordinary
respiration. This in time becomes vi
tiated and affects the blood, and,
through it, the nervous centers. The
result is a yawn, which is really a
stretching of the respiratory chamber
to its fullest capacity and the filling
of it with freshly inspired air. which
drives the Initiated air out. Yawning
also opens, stretches and ventilates
the vocal, nasal and auditory cham
the mouth.

schwab's Gift to Native Town.

A New Yorker who is constantly
doing generous acts without attract

Charles M. Schwab. the young steel
master. He was born in the village
of Williamsburg, the sleepiest place
in Pennsylvania. except Loretto. to
which his family moved. When
Schwab got rich he built a paper mill
at the place of his nativity, merely
to liven it up" He made it a coop
erative affair and got everybody in
terested- He supported the enter
prise until it was upon self-support-
ing basis and then he turned it over
to the town. 1t is quite money
maker and has lessened the taxes no
ticeably.
