Another Saloon
Robbery
Bold HOId-ups Enter Funke's Sa-
loon on Christmas Eve and rob
the Cash Register Of $40. Gull
prits are Known.

1t is again our unpleasant duty
to chronicle another robbery in
Cottonwood, it being for the
third time John Funke's saloon,
which was broken into late Mon
day night and robbed Of about
$40. Entrance to the saloon was
made by breaking out a window
light at the rear of the building
and the robbers then removed
the money from the cash regis
ter at their leisure. Owing to
the saloon being open quite late
that night a larger sum than US
ual was in the register, but with
other houses still open and the
nightwatch on duty it was not
thought necessary to take the
money home. This is the third
time this saloon has been robbed
this year and the fifth saloon
robbery to occur here in that
time. Many conjectures have
been made as to who was guilty
of the former robberies but it is
known beyond the shadow of q
doubt who committed the burg
larry Monday night, the only
reason for arrests not being
made being because sufficient ev.
idence to convict cannot be Sc
cured. Should stronger evidence
be secured arrests will follow a
once but under present condi
tions it is a question with tht
officers whether to wait unit
someone can be caught in the ac
or to run all the questionable

How Idaho Got Her Quail.

How many of our readers who
enjoy quail hunting know that an
Emmett man introduced the
quail into Idaho? And how
many know that it was done
from purely philanthropic mo-
tives at a considerable outlay of
money? says the Emmett Index.
To that grand old man, Henry
C. Riggs, now passing the even
ing of his life with his children
in this city, the people of Idaho
are indebted for that valuable
bird, the quail.
On December 26, 1870, the
first shipment was made from
independence, Mo-, and consist
ed of two crates, each containing
38 birds. They were consigned
to Mr.. Riggs, who then lived in
Boise. At that time the termi-
nus of the Union Pacific was
Kelton, Utah, and express mat
ter was carried by stage. Owing
to the severity of the weather
and their exposure and long con-
finement, many of the quails
died in transit.
The consignment did not reach
Kelton until January Both and il
was nearly spring before il
reached Boise. The birds were

The new addition to Vineland
has been given the highly APP
propriate name of Charleston
Heights. It is expected that not
only all of present Vineland, but
Charleston Heights will in the
very near future become in
corporated into the town of
Charleston which they adjoin and
nearly surround. The Clarks-
n-Vineland schools now show
an enrolment of 1926. The
claimed population is 5000.
Therefore the ratio Of school
children to population is extra
ordinarily high. For compari-
son, we note that Spokane claims
rs, 600 with a school enrolment
of Is, 600, which is / to 5, while
the Charleston ratio approximates
one school child to each 81 pop
ulation. This is accounted for
by the superior healthful climate
of the Charleston valley. The
death rate is less than 8 in l, 600.

Other shipments were made at

Eminent Doctors Praise lis ingredients.

We refer to that boon to weak, nervous,
suffering women known as Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription.
Dr. John Fyfe one of the Editorial staff
of THE ECLECTIC MEDICAL REVIEW says
of Unicorn root (HeLonidS DtOicd) which
is one Of the chief ingredients of the "Fa-
vorte Prescription
IA remedy which invariably acts as a utter
Inc inyigorator makes for normal ac-
tivity of the entire reproductive system"
He continues sin Helonias we have medica-
ment which more fully answers the above
purposes than any other drug With Uhtch am
acquainted. In the treatment OF diseases pc
culiar to women 1t Is seldom that case is
seen which does not present some indication
for this remedial agent" Dr. Fyfe further
says: 1.-THE following are among the leading
indications for Helonias Unicorn root. Pain
or aching in the back, with leucorrhpa;
atomic (weak) conditions OF the reproductive
organs OF women. mental depression ana IT.
ritability. associated with chronic diseases OF
the reproductive organs OF women. constant
sensation of heat in the region OF the KID

ened condition of the reproductive system;
amenorrh9a Suppressed or absent monthly
periods }, arising from or accompanying an
abnormal condition of the digestive organs
and anamc (thin blood habit: dragging
sensations in the extreme lower part or the
abdomen"
If more or less of the above symptoms
are present, no invalid woman can do
better than take DR.. Pierce's aNorite
Prescription, one of the leading ingredi-
ents of which is Unicorn root, or Helonlass,
and the medical properties OF which II
most faithfully represents.
OF Golden Seal root, another prominent
ingredient of 0Favorite Prescription"
Prof. Finley Ellingwood, M. d., of Ben
nett Medical College, Chicago, says:
ut is an important remedy in disorders OF
the womb In all catarrhal conditions
and general enfeeblement. 1t Is useful"
Prof. John Nj. Scudder, M. D., late OF
Cincinnati, says of Golden Seal root:
oIn relation to it's general effects on the
system, there Is no medicine in use about tDhtch
there Is such general undnimtty Of opinion. 1t
is universally regarded as the tonic useful In
all debilitated states"
Prof. Bartholow, M. D., OF Jefferson
Medical College, says of Golden Seal:

they are recommended.

s(From the Chicago Journal. Nov. 6,
1905.)

When Commissioner Garfield went
to the Chicago packers and asked
permission to inspect their books, the
condition was made that no informa-
ton he might obtain therefrom would
be used in court proceedings against
them.
Mr.. Garfield gave this pledge, 1t Is
stated, and the packers allowed him
to study their business in all its de-
tails from the inside.
Now, it is announced, the results OF
his study have been turned over to
the government department OF justice
to be employed in legal prosecution OF
the packers
Commissioner Garfield would not
have ventured to give the pledge that
was demanded by the packers without
instructions from Washington. He
pledged, not his own word, but the
governments. 1t is not his good faith,
but the governments, that is in ques-
ton now
The Journal has no concern for the
packers, except as they are citizens
of Chicago If it can be proved that
they are guilty of engaging in a con-
spiracy in restraint of trade, they
ought to be punished.
But their guilt, if they are guilty,
must be fairly proved, They must be
given a square deal
Since the government has elevated
its vision to such a height as to over
look the nest of defiant criminal trusts
in New Jersey, almost within the
shadow Of the capitol dome, in order
to fasten itself a thousand miles away
upon Chicago, the government and
the President cannot be too careful
to avoid suspicion that they are more
anxious to prosecute western offend
ers than offenders in the east.
Some of the methods already en-
ployed in this case have not been par
ticularly distinguished for decency.
When the government breaks into a
mans house and steals his private pa
pers, when it drags the wives OF pack
ing-house employees into court and
puts them under heavy bonds, 1t is
hardly dignified, not to say honorable,
nor even respectable.

An S-foot windmill with 3-inch
pump and 1h-inch delivery pipe would
pump about 400 gallons of water per
hour in a good wind. A 10foot wind
mill with a 4-inch pupmp and Pinch
delivery pipe would pump about $40
gallons per hour, in the circumstances
here mentioned. If pumping water is
all that is required, either of these
sizes will be satisfactory.
The cost of steel tower for wind
mill may be obtained by writing to
any of the windmill manufacturers.
On account of the height to which
the water is to be lifted, namely 40
feet, it will be necessary to place the
pump at the spring, or at point not
more than twenty-five feet vertically
higher than the spring. On this ac-
count the windmill being situated at
some distance from the barn, it can
not conveniently be used for other
power. In any event the windmill is
not suitable for threshing, as 1t can
not be depended upon to give steady
and constant power. 1t is adapted to
such work as pumping and grinding
grain.

TWO TOWED TO SEA BY A SHARK
Fishermen Encounter Big One Tangled
Up in Their Travis.

Up in Their Travis.
With an immense shark furnishing
the power, Joseph Bent and William
Jason have broken all records in
South channel, near Cape Cod. They
are members of the crew of the fish
ing schooner Frances V. Silva, which
arrived here this morning, says dis
patch from Boston, Mass. Their story
is sustained by other members of the
crew who witnessed their experience.
Bent and Jason were out in dory
hauling their trawl. They had pulled
in about half of it when they felt a
Jerk and then a tremendous pull.
Then an immense shark, apparently
as big as the dory, came to the sur
face with a dozen of the hooks on
the trawl imbedded in him. He
lashed the water furiously and then
with a sudden turn started off in the
direction of the equator.
1T was all so sudden that we didn't
know what happened, said Bent.
Jason and l grabbed the sides of the
boat and away we scooted. The shark
kept straight ahead. There was a
heavy sea running and according to
the men who were near us we were
hidden in the spray raised by the
swift passage of the dory through the
water. Jason recovered his wits first
and slashed at the trawl with his
sheath knife. He succeeded in cutting
it and let the shark have it all to him.
