LIVING IN PARIS.
The Way One Rents an Apartment In
the French Capital.


An apartment should be seen on a
sunny day before engaging, and it Is
not legally secured until papers are
signed. The lease is on a quarterly
basis. Payments are made In advance
the 18th Of January, April, June and
October and occupancy given up to
these dates. But when intending to
leave the tenant should give his three
months notice before the first day Of
these months. Failure to do this and
neglect of the governmental tribute Of
a stamped paper hold him to further
three months liability. as many a rue
ful American can witness. To avoid
this II is merely needful to buy q
stamped sheet Of paper for s cents Of
the tobacconist, legal vender Of all
stamps, write the notice thereon and
give II to the landlord personally or
send II to him by registered letter
The concierge, although he collects the
rent and has full charge of the house,
is neither authorized TO let the apart
ment nor to receive notices. In the
paper signed by tenant and landlord
the former guarantees to return the
apartment In good condition. and If it
Is freshly papered, painted and waxed
there will doubtless be something to
pay on leaving, but care and economy
In nail holes make the damages slight.

appeared among the horses in the lum-

upper St.Joe river country. The dis
ease first attacks the upper and tender
parts OF the hoofs, where small sores ap-
pear extending over large areas as the

horse losing strength daily. In last
stages when horse lies down or presses
against an object, the place of contact
breaks out in running sores.

This shell belongs to most curious animal,
which is seldom seen alive by most strollers
by the sea, because they do not know how
to look for them. 1t burrows in the sand
of the sseashore, about low-water mark, and
it's residence is pointed out by two holes
close together, or sometimes running into each
other, SO as to assume somewhat the shape
of great keyhole.
1t IS useless to try to dig down for this
shell-fsh in the ordinary way, for they easily

PROMINENT PIONEER PASSES away
Henry Aueustavo Dies In Los Angeles
Remains to Be Shipped
to This City.

After an illness of nearly two years,
H. H. Augustavo, who was a we'll
known butcher of this city, died at 8
o'clock yesterday evening at hospi.
tai in Los Angeles, CAL, where he
went six weeks ago to receive medi-
cal treatment.
About two weeks ago deceased un'
derwent an operation for removal OF
water from the pleural cavity. I'm
mediately after the operation he be-
gan to improve but a few days ago his
condition changed and he grew stead
lily worse.
For a quarter of century Henry
AugustavO had been one of the lead,
ing business men of the garden city
and vicinity. He had been engaged in
cattle raising and meat selling on a
large scale and during the whole time
had conducted his large affairs in a
manner to command the respect of his
fellow citizens.
Deceased was a member of Trinity
lodge No. 121, l. o. o. F. of this city
and of the Rebekahs These orders
will have charge of his funeral.
Deceased leaves besides his widow
a mother, Mrs. Anna Augustavo, who
resides on Melrose street, Walla Wal
la; one sister, Mrs. J. C.. Ewint, OF
South Prairie, Wash, and three
brothers, A. E. Augustavo and Chris
, Augustavo, of this city and A. D.
Augustavo of North Yakima.
The remains will be shipped from
Los Angeles by the Odd Fellows OF
that city. 1t is expected the body
will reach here, accompanied by Mrs
Augustavo, next Tuesday.

Mr.. Kaser also said the disposition
of the commission seemed to be to look
at the matter from the standpoint of
the consumer rather than from the
jobbers standpoint
B. c.. Holt agreed with Mr. Kaiser
that it was difficult to prognOsticate
what the commission would do, but
said:
THE general facts brought out by
the testimony indicated that the In
land Empire was getting somewhat
the worst of things at present.
1T was the concensus of opinion
that we would get something out Of
it. Just what, nobody can tell"
When asked if Walla Walla would
benefit by the fight being made by
Spokane, the chairman of the trans
portation committee said:
Yes, if Spokane gets anything we
will get the benefit. We are on the
road between Spokane and the east
and will be entitled to a proportional
reduction If we did not get that we
would pay the reduced rate to Spokane
and then stop the cars as they passed
through here. Oh, yes, we are sure to
gain by any reduction"
1t was gathered from Messrs. Kaiser
and Holt that the transfer of the hear
ing to Portland had no special signi-
ficance Portland simply wished to
save the expense of sending her wit
nesses to Spokane. The Portland
hearing will take place in April and
there will be a rebuttal hearing in
Spokane and a final hearing of the
whole case in Washington, ID. {.
