WILL Be NO JOKE FOR JULIUS
Man Who Set Trap Gun and Killed
Land|ady in Tolls.
MARSAUD|LLE FACES MURDER CHARGE
LAW SAYS NO MAN HAS RIGHT
TO SET A DEATH
TRAP.

Julius Marsaudile, the Italian whose
ingenious death trap was responsible
for the killing of Mrs. Emma Daley
at Seattle last week. is to
face a charge of murder in the second
degree.
| The grounds upon which the charge
! is based is that no man has the right
to arrange a trap whereby another
may meet death, unless the life of the
party so arranging said trap is in i'm
mediate danger.
The law does not hold that burg
lar endangers the life of an occupant
If a room in which he may be work.
ing, even though he were to threaten
life, says one report, but states that
ones life is not legally endangered
take human life, such as the drawing
un ess a deliberate attempt be mace'
of a knife, revolver of other weapon.
The old English law gave the right
to jewellers in their homes to protect
essary, but strictly fOrbids the use of
any such cOntrivance in a hotel or pub
lie place, holding that in such a place
unexpected developments, such as the
opening of a trunk by an officer with
/ nrat, mt hn ai0in of hn
same by a landlord, who might later
open the trunk. might be the cause of
human life being taken.
In the only other instance on record,
namely, the Barr case of Whatcom,
which occurred II years ago, Barr ar
ranged a trap in his Goblin two tramps
attempted an entrance and one of
lem was killed. Even this fact was
not considered sufficiently strong to
warrant an acquittal, and Barr was ac-
cOrdingly sentenced to a long term in
the penitentiary, although in the face
of popular sympathy for Barr. Later
this sympathy became so strong as to
cause petition for pardon to be sent
to the governor. The cOnvicting jul
rors also signed the petition, thinking
hat Barr had been sufficiently pun
ished. Barr was pardoned after serv-
ing two years.
Following along these lines, and
arguing that the life of the italian was
not endangered the prosecution will
attempt a conviction.

Grape Leaves ms Medicine.

Grape leaves are the sovereign rene
dy in Switzerland for cuts and fresh
wounds. Decoctions of the juice Of the
leaves are used in poultices. An agree
able tea is also made from the leaves
which is said greatly to strengthen the
nerves. The leaves are also excellent
food for COWS. hogs and sheep. The
tears Of the vine, used incidentally, are
limpid emulation of the sap at the
time the plant begins budding and are
found on the vine where the slightest
wound occurs to the plant. The liquid
is collected by cutting off the ends Of
the canes. bending them down and
sticking the ends into the neck of the
bottle which will be filed in a few
days. The wood and branches are used
in the manufacture of baskets, furni-
ture, rustic work, bark for tying ma
terial, ETC., and, when burned, potash
and salts.

WALlA WAlLA COUNTY IS BEHIND
According to State Auditor, County
Owes State Snug Sum of
$34,982.34.

OLYMPIA, Sept. 12.-AlthOugh last
years taxes were so well paid only
seven of the counties Of the state owe
more than $1,000 yet to the state on
such rolls, and the remainder of the
counties owe but from $4664 of Wah-
kiakum county up to few hundreds
of dollars, yet the gross amounts owed
by the counties to the state is a large
sum in the aggregate. The state set
ties with the counties on the seventh
year. That is to say, this year the
state auditor will add to this years
state tax to be paid by each county
the balances yet unpaid on the states
share of 1899 taxes. AT the office Of
the state auditor today the following

M0Enet Steel HOist.

A novel application Of electricity in
the handling Of iron and steel is now in
operation at Cleveland in the way Of a
magnet. This magnet consists Of a
large iron disk supported by chains
which may be fastened to the hoop Of
a derrick or crane block. To the top of
the disk is applied an electric plug de-
vice connected with insulated wires
which, by an ingenious auxiliary pulley
arrangement, are led to a controller at
some convenient point at the base Of
the derrick or in the operators cab Of
the crane The disk is lowered over
the material to be lifted and the cur
rent turned on, and in this way enor-
nous loads Of material may be gath
cred together and held by the magnet
as long as the current remains con-
nected.

When depression in the shaft acts
upon the glycerin the impulse thus

A continuous record Of the depression
is obtained. The drum carrying the

BALTIMORE'S JUBILEE.
Celebration of Industrial Parade is An
Imposing Affair.

BALTIMORE, Md. Sept. 1.-THE
industrial parade, which took place
here today as the principal spectacular
feature of the jubilee Celebration,
was the longest and most imposing
procession ever seen in this city. 1t
is estimated that there We're about
thirty thousand men in line, besides
a large number of floats, which greatly
added to the length of the procession.
Every branch of industry was repre-
sented in the parade. The Baltimore
& Ohio railroad had several thousand
men in line and many large factories
and other establishments had from five
hundred to a thousand men to repre-
sent them. The various city depart
ments, excepting the fire department,
which will have its own special parade
tomorrow, were represented and made
a fine display. Nearly every promi-
nent society and social or labor Or
ganization had furnished a strong con-
tingent and many of the organizations,
being handsomely uniformed made
fine appearance Noticeable among the
narchers were the German societies,
six thousand strong, all of them hand
somely uniformed. Immediately after
the parade the German societies board
ed special cars for River View park
where they will celebrate German Day
all afternoon and evening
The parade formed at Baltimore
street and Fulton avenue and at ten
o'clock started on its march over the
eight-mile route, along Baltimore

New Apparatus Places Air Under
Scientific Control.
With the new recorder herewith illus
trated, a continuous record Of the vol
ume Of air actually drawn into mines
by means Of fans, the engineer can at
all times accurately ascertain whether
or not ventilation is efficient. The con-
struction Of the instrument is based
upon the hydrostatic principle.
The recorder comprises a cylinder IN
which works a perfectly balanced hoat
of great sensitiveness. moving in an
inner receptacle. Instead OF using
water, which occasions constant trou-
Bile through evaporation and condensa-
ton, whereby the volume is cOntinu-
Ously varying, giycerin is employed,
so that recharging and adjustment
Of the apparatus are Obviated. The in
strument is attached directly to the
ventilating shaft by means of flexible
tube connected with the device just
below the cover plate. The depression
existing in the shaft acts upon the
surface of the glycerin contained in
the vessel surrounding the central
chamber, thereby causing a movement

Lime DuRt For TuberculOsfs.

At recent meeting of the Paris
Academy OF Medicine DR.. Brouardel
held forth on the benefits to be de-
rived by consumptives from living in
an atmosphere charged with lime dust.
He quoted report by DR.. Bordenave,
who says that within the thirty years
that he has practiced he has not seen
single case of tuberculosis among
the workmen at the kilns and that peO-
pie affected with tuberculosis are soon
cured after they live some time in the
lime dust.

CONSUMPTION CURE,
Inhalation of Medicated Air Said to
XIII Germs.

inhalation of Medicated Air Said to
Kill Germs.
DR.. o. F. Fleener of Knightstown
lnd., claims that he has discovered &
chemical formula which, administered
to the lungs by inhalation, will Kill:
the tubercular bacillus without injur-
Ing the lung tissue or cell. It is assert
ed with some show Of proof that DR..
F1eener is treating with successful re-
suits several consumptives who have
failed to get relief from the old meth
DDS and their home open air treatment
Some Of these have been cases con-
s1derably advanced, and it is asserted
that the outward marks Of the con-
sumptive have not only given way to
the appearance of health. but that even
the sputum of the patients, when
examined microscopically, has been
found to be absolutely free of the
tubercular germs.
DR.. Fleener's discovery is yellow
1sh liquid. He administers it by plac
ing the patient in an air tight cabinet
and pumping the fumes of the liquid
into the cabinet. He, however, raises
the air pressure in the cabinet to twen-
ty pounds to the square inch. The air
pressure causes extra lung action, and
the mcdicated air is thus forced to
every part Of the lung. 1t is this medi-
Gated air that, it is asserted, kills the
germs without injuring the delicate
lining membranes in which it finds
lodgment.
DR.. Fleener closely guards the secret
Of his compound. He does not put bis
patients on any diet. but goes to the
other extreme and lets them eat and
drink what they desire, and even
places no ban on the use Of tobacco.
He does demand systematic exercise
and deep breathing. He says that the
bacilli are killed in from ten to twelve
days, and the patient will begin to re-
vive in weight and health Immediately.
About six months is required for the
complete treatment.
