SPREAD OF PROHIBITION.
One-ThIrd of Population Said to Be
 Living Without Saloons.

Living Without Saloons. Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 Prohibition that prohibits must be confined to localities where the senti- ment is strongly in favor of prohibi- ton State laws that forbid the sale of intoxicating liquors are dead let ters in those corners of the State where they are not upheld by public opinion. A periodical devoted to the anti-sA,- loon interest has figured that through local prohibition some 30,000.o00 peO pie, or more than ome-third of the pop ulation of the nation, are living with out the legal sale of intoxicants.
 In Ohio there are l.20O dry" town ships In Georgia 103 out of 137 coun- ties of the State have prohibition, eleven -twelfths of Arkansas is under prohibition laws. Indiana has 649 town ships and forty cities where the sale of liquor is Illegal, In Vermont only twenty five towns out Of 140 have sa looms. Tennessee shows that 1,S4S towns have shut out saloons under the local option law, and that over half the inhabitants Of the State live under prohibition,

In each of these States prohibition ia considered effective because it is strongly supported by the sentiment of the communities.

Sunday Baseball Coming Up.

An effort is likely to be made within the next few days to get the Sunday baseball bill before the House for discussion. The bill, which was introduced by Representative Hoffman. of Mobile County. provides for the repeal of the law prohibiting baseball and other sports on Sunday. and was at once re- ferred to the Temperance Committe for con- sideration. That committee has since been considering" the proposed enactment. but so far there has been no report.
 Just what form the effort will take 10 se- cure action is, of course, not known. but it is possible that 1t will be in the shape of a motion by Mir Hoffman calling for a report on the measure by the committee. and then if that report be unfavorsble, as is rather expected by the friends of the measure, an effort will be made to get the b II trans ferred from the adverse calendar to the reg ular calendar for third reading.

Department Of Agriculture Makes
Experiment, Finds Citrange Will
Grow Successfully.

kENNEWICk. Wah., Aug. 20
James c. Crowell, with whom the
United States Department of Agri-
culture entrusted the care of sew
eral varieties of hardy orange trees
for experimental purposes, has sent
in his report to the department. Mr.
Crowell states that the trees, which
are known as citranges. have done
exceedingly we'll and are in -four
ishing condition. They were receiv-
ed last winter and carefully planted
this spring. That they are hardy
and adapted to the local climate has
been fully demonstrated, as at one
time, the coldest night in the winter,
they wiuhssood a temperature of 6
degrees below zero.
The department does not recon-
mend that the citralige be planted on
a commercial scale to compete with
oranges grown in Florida or Cali
fornia. but does advocate the plant
ing of small orchards for home use.
as the fruit, while sweet and juicy,
is not of such a large size and fine
appearance as the navel orange grown
in the southern states. 1t is expect
ed that the fruit will be widely
PLANTED in Eastern Washington and
Oregon.

That an assault case should keep

The case went to the jury last
night after an all day session and the
jury is still out. Reeves and Reeves

IN WENATCHEE LAST NIGHT
Closing Scenes of the Singular Tragedy in Which
Young Seattle Odd Fellow Lost his
Life in " ell.

he was a member of the order of
Woodmen. They had no Immediate
way of determining whether he was
or not, but with true Western hos
pitality they decided TO give him
decent burial. And this they done.
He was buried in the River
side cemetery.
In the meantime word OF the
tragedy had reached Wenatchee and
Seattle to I. A. Goodwin, inspector
of the General Electric Company OF
that city. who was friend of the
deceased and also member OF the
same order, that of the Odd Fellows.
He came through to Wenatchee, and
together with Undertaken Sprague
of Wenatchee went to the little town
on the Okanogan river.
To their regret they found that
the body of Foster had been already
buried. They decided to exhume it.
Goodwin was not satisfied. So the
gruesome mission was performed.
The body was found in bad condi-
ton. Goodwin then commissioned
Undertaken Sprague to take the re-
mains in hand and see what he
could do with it. The Wenatche
man did so and with the result that
the dead man was made to look al
most life-like and put in proper
condition whereby he will last for
years.
The object Of taking al of this
work is that Mr. Goodwin has wri"

AN AID TO MARINERS.
Principle Of the Gyroseope Employed

1t is the usual practice to make all
possible corrections. but gun turrets
have to he moved around and the cor
rections mo always lie relied upon.
Again. the shock due to the firing Of
big guns IS extremely bad for the
compass.
Or. H. Absolute Kampfe has invent
ed a new form of steering standard
dependent for its operation upon the
principle OF the g%yroscope. This APP
paratus has been subjected to ex-
haustive tests on a b%attleship. where,
mid the firing of big guns. the move

disturbing influences as would effect

not necessarily point north and south,
but it tends continually to point in
any direction in which it is set. and
thus to indicate any change of direc-
ton Of the ship.
1t is not proposed to displace the
mariners compass by means of this
instrument. for it's readings would
tend to become inaccurate after long
spells of use without resetting by some

P H AND OYSTERS.
Danger Of Infection From the eivaives
Overestimated.


NJ. Baylac. a French Psychologist.
has just reported on an exhaustive
study Of oysters, both from the ocean
and inclosed seas, undertaken to de-
termine whether there was any founda-
ton for the idea that the bivalves were
infected by the typhoid and other pois-
onous germs and were the means Of
causing serious illness in people who
eat them. lie concluded that the ty-
phoid microbe by no means infected
the oyster. In the rare cases where
the oyster absorbed the germ through
pollution of the oyster beds 1t eli,ninat-
ed it again in a day or two when trans
ferred to pure sea water or when re-
moved from the water altogether. He
found that with the liquor from fresh
oysters he could inject forty-four cubic
centimeters before any toxic disturb
ance was manifested.
With the juice Of oysters which had
been three days out Of water and
which had been exposed to the air at a
temperature of 70 degrees distinct
signs Of poisoning were produced by
the injection of six cubic centimeters.
Then he tried oysters which had been
kept two days at a temperature of 60
degrees and then freshened in river
water slightly sailed. 4 dose of four
cubic centimeters from the liquid of
these caused poisoning.
NJ. Baylac forms two general conclu-
sions-frst. the danger of typhoid from
oysters is negligible unless they have
been taken recently from beds ex-
posed to direct Infection: second. oys-
tiers are healthful in direct ratio to
their freshness.
