DRIVE OUT AMERICAN SILVER.
Plan Is Devised to Sweep Out All
the Yankee Coins.

OTTAWA, Ont, March 5.-During-
the last session of the Dominion parlia-
ment the government announced that
it was deemed expedient to place a
check upon the growing circulation in
Canada of United States silver coinaee-
Accordingly scheme was propounded
whereby the Canadian banks would be
paid for collecting this coinage and
shipping it out of the country, thus Gre
ating wider circulation for Canadian
silver money.
On the first of March, therefore. the.
sweep Of American silver from Canada
will begin. The department of finance
has completed arrangements with the
banks for the collection Of all foreign.
silver in circulation throughout the.
Dominion. Such money will be sent
to Washingto and exchanged for gold.
1t is roughly estimated that nearly
$1,O00,000 of United States silver is in>
circulation in Canada When this is
removed, Canadian coin will take it's
place. ,.......-.

PURE BLOOD

antee VinoI Viii Make Pure,
Rich, Red Blood.

I'VE see every day on our streets
many people whose faces plainly show
impure and impoverished blood We
want everybody in Walla Walla to
know that Vinol is a splendid blood
purifier and blood maker" said Mr.
Jackson, of the above firm
1T is the best preparation we ever
sold in our store to make pure rich,
red blood, because it contains in a
highly concentrated form all of the
medicinal, bodybuilding elements of
cod liver oil, but without a drop of
oil or grease to upset the stomach.
"Vinol tones up and strengthens the
nerves of the stomach and enables it
to obtain from the food eaten the
necessary elements to create pure, rich
red blood, and in this way every organ
IN the body is strengthened and in
,ilu-hBmtuod, MISUNDERSTANDING
vigorated, and the skin is cleared from
all disfguring eruptions"
Mr.. F. w. Bean, of Wilmington, Del,
writes: Il suffered for months with
poor blood, los sof flesh and strength.
My physician prescribed different rem
edies, none of which helped me. l
was discouraged when a friend asked
me to try Vinol. 1 did so and never
saw anything like it; it purified and
enriched my blood, increased my ap-
petite, and I look and feel like a diff.
ferent man."
We guarantee VinoI will purify and
enrich the blood, create strength nd

GIRL LURED TO DOOR.
Chicago Has Another Sample Of Evils
of Unrestrained Crime.

CHICAGO, March 5.-Tricked into
opening the door by supposedly
friendly voice. Miss Hattie Fife, IT.
year-old girl living at 537 Park avenue,
was made the victim of unknown acid
throwers. Miss Fife was called 10 the
door by a slight rapping, but when
she called out, who's there?" a voice
replied, open the door, Hattie
Her suspicious were removed by the
familiarity with which her name was
spoken and she opened the door. In
stantly a quantity of carbolic acid
was thrown in her face and a mans
voice exclaimed:
There, that will hold you for
awhile!"
Miss Fife sank to the floor with a
scream and her mother and sisters
ran to her. Instinctively she had clos
ed her eyes, but her cheeks and fore
head were severely burned. Physicians
hope her sight may be saved.
Suspicion was placed on Edward
Dretchler, a rejected sutton, and on his
friends.
According to Dretchler he was with
Robin Mccarthy all evening.
Miss Fife tried in vain to recognize
McCarthy's voice and figure. The
two men were released.

ON CHARGE OF BlGAMY.
Newspaper Story Reveals Husbands
Where sbouts to Wife No. I.


COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa, March s.
-Persistency as sutton for the hand
of Miss Clara M. Oliver, which brought
him newspaper notoriety, has resulted
in the arrest for bigamy of Fred Fietz.
The newspaper story revealed his
whereabouts to a woman who claims to
have married him five years ago.
Fietz gained notoriety while court
ing Miss Oliver by taking out a mar
rage license, it is said, before the
young woman had consented to marry
him, and then making an attempt to
get his money back when she had
given him the mitten. The clerk of the
court persuaded Fietz to try his luck
once more, and thus encouraged, he
managed to overcome the scruples of
the young woman and they were mar
ried. A few days later the woman
who claims to be Mrs. Fietz No. 1
on the scene, and after a con.
sultatiOn with the newer wife, a war
rant was sworn out for Fietz's arrest
on a charge of bigamy.

ROOT ON CONGO CONDITIONS.

Secretary Roots reply to Representa-
tive DENLY of Michigan is to the effect
that we have no territorial rights in
Africa which would give us a call to
insist upon an investigation of the
affairs of the Congo Free State, that if
We did have sovereign rights there we
could not submit them to an interna-
tional tribunal. Besides, the secretary
adds, if we had a territory in Africa
five times the area of the Philippines,
we might find good government diff
cult and come in for our share of just
or unjust criticism. This sentence
sounds like an apology for Or an ex-
culpation of the Congo administration
in advance.
The people of this country have al,
ways sympathized with the oppressed,
and where they have been in earnest
they have found a way to secure in
tervention. The United States is busy
just now regulating the affairs of Mo-
rocco in the Algeciras conference
without any territorial rights in Africa.
The Morocco case is nowhere near as
grave as that of the Congo, and yet
our government found not only the
right but the duty to act We are of
opinion. Secretary Root to the con-
trary Notwithstanding, that if the peo-
pie earnestly demand it, the admins

European powers with reference to the

INDIAN ARROWS.
Why There Are Always Three
Grooves Cut ON the Shaft.


Grooves Cut on the Shaft.
In making the Indian arrow three
small undulating grooves are cut on the
shaft, running down to the head from
the lower end Of the feathers. This has
attracted the attention of some Of the
ethnologists, who gave the matter con-
siderable study and wisely concluded
that the little lines were made for the
blood to run through or that they rep
resented lightning An old Omaha who
had the reputation of being very skill
full in cutting the grooves in arrow
shafts was called by the chief to do
that work for him on some arrows he
was making. The chief himself was
fine arrow maker, but he recognized
the skill of the old man in this particu-
lar line While the work was in prog
ress the chiefs son, who had reached
the inquisitive age and was looking on
with wide eyed interest. suddenly ask
ed, venerable man, why are you max
ing those crooked lines?" The chief
gave a hearty laugh and said, Father,
tell him, for he will be making arrows
himself some day, and he should know"
Every sapling," answered the old man,
tout Of which the arrow is made has
some defect. however faultless it may
appear to be. The good arrow maker
takes n great deal of pains to smooth
out and straighten the imperfections by
oiling and heating. but the wood in

Fast Orange. Dec. 25 Especial )-Having found that
lis charter which il obtained from the Legislature
seven years ago, requires almost constant amend
nent and that the procedure established by it is
expensive. the city Of East Orange viii ask the
Legislature this winter for a new one The present
instrument was roundy denounced a mass meet
ing Of citizens before it adopted. but ap-
pareutly the protests were unavailinS.
The chief objection at that time. now was the
excessive amount of advertising required for all
public improvements. well the method f levy
ing assessments The latter has been objected to
by the Governor when amendments to the charter
have been desired and last winter Governor Stokes
would have vetoed amendment had II not been
for the fact that the method of assessment was
contained in the original charter.
