of fishing smacks in the North sea
have found that Goldfish at certain
times Of the year take sand into
their stomachs as ballast This,
it would appear, is done when the
fish are about to migrate from the
shallow water covering the southern
banks of the North sea to the deeper
water farther north, says the Chicago
Chronicle.
1t has been observed that fish
caught on the southern banks Just
before the migration begins and
those caught in the northern waters
after 1t is completed have sand in
their stomachs and that the sand is
discharged after the arrival of the
fish at the southern banks on the re-
turn migration.
In proof of this it is stated that
the sand found in the fish often diff
fers in color and quality from that
of the bottom where they are caught.

WORST FORM OF TORMENT.
Indigestion Makes Life Miserable. How
II Cure 1t.

There is no need Of telling a person
with stomach trouble that indigestion
makes life miserable. The burning
and gnawing feeling in the stomach,
the sick and nervous headaches, the
sleeplessness, general debility, aching
back, specks before the eyes, and the
nervousness, irritability and despond-
ency that come from indigestion,
make life a torment.
Happily a physicians prescription
for stomach troubles called Mi-o-na
stomach tablets. is now for sole by
an absolute and complete cure for in
digestion and all stomach Ill. Mi-o-na
Is not temporary relief or a mere d.
gestive. Take one OF the little tablets
before meals for a few days and the
digestive organs will be so toned and
strengthened that you will be able to
eat anything intended for food with
out fear of Indigestion and distress.
Mi-o-na is so universally successful
in curing all forms Of stomach weak
nesses that Fred L. Janeck gives a
signed guarantee with each soc box,
that your money will be refunded un-
less the remedy gives you satisfaction.
This certainly shows his strong faith
in the medicine. Many OF his CUSTOM
ers have used 1t with the greatest sue
cess and praise 1t highly as the only
cure they have ever found for stom-
ach troubles w-t-s-eod.

TO HANDLE SCHOOL FUND.
County Auditors Plan New Law to

OLYMPIA. Sept. 1.-THE legis-

ors' association. consisting of ]. NJ
Howell, auditor of Pierce county; A.
Burnham, auditor of Clarke county,
and r. S. HayH ard, auditor of Kit
sap county, Will prepare for intro
duction in the next legislature a law
changing the present system OF
handling public school funds by the
various local school districts.
1t is claimed by this committee
that at the present time, owing to
The loose methods allowed under the
law, it is almost impossible to tell
the condition Of the funds at any
time. No proper segregation is
made, and money is frequently paid
out for purposes for which it was not
appropriated IN different districts,
also, it IS claimed that different pric-
es are paid for The same grade Of
school supplies.
These abuses, it is believed, can
be remedied by giving the county
auditor the charge of auditing all
county school moneys, and in turn
holding the county school superin-
tendent responsible for the auditing
of all vouchers for school supple.
in that way uniformity will be OBJ

Peaches, cantaloupes and prunes
are just about all gone, a few still
coming in, but the crop is done. Fall
apples and Anjou pears are the main
receipts this week. What peaches
that are to be had are in good de-
mand. Some of the commission
men are packing two layers of
fancy pears in peach boxes, claiming
that the loss from shipping is less
when put up this way.
Concord grapes are coming down
a little, selling now at 22h cents
per basket, the supply being ample
to all demands.
Live stock is steady and the mar
ket taken as whole is very steady.
Most of the apples and peaches
packed this week go to British
America and points in the middle

Robbers Fail to Get Auction Sale
Money from Woman.

LIBERTY, Ind, Sept. 1S.-Mrs.
Ira Miller is in critical condition
here as a result of an attack by two
masked robbers last night. An auc-
tion sale had been held at the Miller
home and last evening two masked
men entered the house during the
husbands absence and demanded the
money obtained from the sale Of the
goods. Red hot irons were placed
against the woman's toes in an effort
to compel her to reveal the place
where the money was secreted. The
robbers did not obtain any money,
however.

SCROCk AND SOLID
READY FOR CONTEST
BOTH MEN IN TRAINING IN CITY
Will Give Clean. Honest Exhibition
OF Scientific Boxing at WiSwam
Friday Night.

The attempt 10 lodge a knock on
the part of the evening paper, with
a long faced pretense of morality,
had the effect of causing the men,
bers of the Yakima Athletic associa-
ton to become all the more deter
mined to give the boxing contest
announced for Friday evening. The
attack on the club was unwarranted.
The statements are not facts. The
erratic reporter who penned the
knock has discovered, since the squib
was published, that it does not pay
to print things without an investiga-
tion-at least not always. The facts
are that the principals in the exhibit
ton are gentlemanlv fellows, who
have reputation, earned as fairly and
They are clever boxers, and they are
on the square. Under the conditions
imposed by the association, neither
could have an object in being other
wise, if he was of the kind implied
in the attack. The exhibition will
comprise fifteen rounds of clean,
swift, scientific boxing, and there
will be nothing to offend even the
Anthony Comstock of the evening
sheet.
Arthur Schock came in yesterday
from Tacoma, bringing with him a
bright youngster named Tommy
West, who will, if he can find a taker
for his chanllenge, go on in a pre-
liminary for about six rounds. For
this length of time he is said to put
up beautiful exhibition of box
ng and defense. Schock was known
to most of the Boosters before they
left Tacoma, and he got acquainted
with the remainder on the way over.
They are enthusiastic over him, and
will be in the audience at the Wig
VAN Park. Schock and Solid are a
pretty pair, great big, athletic fell
lows, well built, evenly matched and
trained to perfection. Solid has done
considerable road work, and Schock
will dig into the hills this morn
ing.
Letters from responsible people
which Mr.. Solid brings, shows that
he is a gentleman as we'll as an ath-
lete. He came over to look into the
proposition Of permanent organiza-
ton and a suitable building for this
city, and if the proper encourage.
ment is given, will take up the mat
ter up as soon as he has demonstrat-
ed his ability
The prospects are that the Wig
wan Park theater will be crowded
Friday night, when the men meet.

Answers to Questions
Concerning Reclamation
Great Deal of Valuable information

is absolute, and is for the purpose of
| holding the lands which may be
needed for various purposes. The
second for is not absolute, but per-
mits the lands to be entered, subject,
however, to the authority of the Sec
rotary in adjusting the entries in ac-
cordance with the irrigating works
which may be constructed.
| @. Does the reclamation service
make this withdrawal?
! A. These Withdrawals are made
by the general land office, under in
structons from the secretary. These
instructions may or may not result
from requests or suggestions from
J the reclamation service.
/ @. When will the public be def
nitely informed of the cost of irriga-
| ton?
A. The law prescribes that the Sec
rotary shall give public notice Of the
lands irrigable under each project
and the limit Of area and the charg-
es which shall be made per acre after
the contracts have been let. The OBJ
ject of the law is to allow the secre-
tary sufficient time to have all sur
veys made and the work brought to
a point where the cost may be ac-
curately known before he announces
what lands will be irrigated and
what the cost will be.
@. Why are not the farmers in
formed in advance as to the amount
of land they will be allowed to enter
upon?
A. The law was drawn with the
idea that if any man could not wait
until the plans were finished and the
contracts let, he would be allowed to
make preliminary entry, which
would be adjusted later. In permit
ting a man to settle upon the land,
however, the secretary does not give
him any assurance as to what he will
be called upon to pay or how large q
piece of land he may keep. All of
these matters must be left until the
cost is definitely known.
Q. Who sets the size of farm
units?
A. The secretary OF the interior
announces the size Of farm units af-
ter the contracts for the work are
let. He instructs the general land
office in the matter and action is
based to a large extent upon the
recommendation of the reclamation
service.
@. How is the size of farm unit
determined?
A. The law states that the limit Of
area per entry shall represent the
acreage which. in the opinion Of the
secretary. may be reasonably re-
quired for the support Of family
upon the land. The whole matter is
one Of discretion with the secretary:
he may in some localities consider
that 10 acres are ample for the sup
port Of family; in others that 40,
60, 80 or more are needed.
@. Surprising that the family in
creases in size?
A. That is not a matter for pres
emit consideration. The immediate
question is as to how much land Is
required for the support of a family
during the ten years or more Of pay
ment for the project. After that
time. when the secretary turns tho
management over to the water users
association. there will probably be
new conditions and q gradual trans
fer of property in accordance with
! the needs Of the country.

An Open-Air Cradle.

Among the necessaries of a country ex-
istence seem to be lawn umbrellas. tents
for the children, lawn chairs and tables
and similar conveniences for spending most
of the time out of doors. A most attractive
feature of the season along this line Is
the outdoor cradle for q baby, In which 1t
may sleep with much more ease than in
the perambulator and enjoy at the same
time all the breezes of heaven. The ap-
yaratus consists of a frame support,
canvas canopy and the swinging canvas
cradle and is to be had for 50. remarkably
low price considering the convenience and
completeness of the outfit The frame up
rights are solidly weighted at the bottom
or may be stuck into the earth. The can
vas canopy Is supported by separate up
rights from those supporting the cradle.
The cradle Is OF canvas large enough for
child of several summers. and carefully
stretched so that 1t forms most comfort
able bed The sides come up very high,
preventing all danger from falling out
The cradle Is swung by stout ropes from
a cross piece connecting the two uprights.
The canvas canopy is without any sides.

desirable. 1t seems to be an admirable ar
rangement whereby baby might be given

roof to keep off the night dews would be
perfectly possible Tor all-nlght sleeping.
Most attractive also are the huge lawn
umbrellas, which are fastened on uprlghts
very heavily weighted and built on a round
base so that IL is absolutely impossible for
them to fall over even in a. high wind. They
are adjustable, the uprights having two
