Freewater, Dec. IA session OF
circuit court will be held here De-
cember 10, in Badgero's hall, for the
purpose of getting the remaining evil
dence in the Peacock Mill company
suit. 1t is the intention this time to
take in all the evidence and to facill-
tate matters, and the swearing in of
the witnesses will be done after the
holidays. As there are nearly 500
witnesses this will be a great saving
of time. This suit has now been
hanging fire nearly two years.
The W. c. T. U. met at the home of
Miss Howard a few days ago and a
fine meeting was held. It was de-
cided that another gold medal contest
be held in the very near future.
The Shields company has received
a big shipment of coal and with what
fuel there is now on hand, and what
will be brought in in the next few
weeks, there does not seem to be
much danger OF a famine here
1t is understood that work will be-
gin on the new Catholic church here
in a very few days.
Everybody here seems pleased with
the result of the recent election, and
all things are going on smoothly.

councilmen, F. NJ. Kent, F. A. Skies

The most OF the fruit of this section
has already been shipped out, and the
growers are much pleased that the
apples are nearly all out before a big
frost would come to kill all that had
been put in boxes. 1t was through
the efforts of the Northern Pacific
to get cars in here that the apples
were finally botten out.
1t has been raining in this vicinity
the last day or two. but that is APP
preciated. far more than the recent
heavy fog.

RAILROAD HIRES LECTURERS.
Northern Pacific to Advertise Yakima
I'm Novel Way.


Travelling representatives of the
Northern Pacific railroad are to in
wade every section Of the United
States. delivering lectures on the Yak
ina valley, at rural school houses and
distributing Yakima literature, says
the Yakima Republic. That such an
arrangement has been made is the
word received by the publicity COM
mittee from C. w. Mott, the genial
emigration agent for the Northern
Pacific.
Mr.. Mott says of the new venture
"Our travelling men go right into the
school houses in the rural districts
and deliver lectures direct to the
farmers, and explain all about the
success that has attended those that
have already located in the Yakima
valley. Then they can place advertis-
ing matter directly into the hands Of
those interested"
The cooperation Of the large corps
Of travelling men Of both the passen-
ger and emigration departments of
the Northern Pacific with the boost
ers Of Yakima means much for the
city That hundreds of people will
be reached this winter by this meth
Cd seems certain and the community
will probably feel the results in the
early spring travel.
Recently the Northern Pacific has
been carrying special Yakima adver-
tisements in several magazines and
fruit papers, exploiting the fruit in
dustry of this section and suggesting
emigration Of settlers and investors.

ture.

"The people here do not drink
enough water to keep healthy" ex-
claimed a well-known authority.
1.-THE numerous cases of stomach
trouble, kidney and bladder diseases
and rheumatism are mainly due to
the fact that the drinking water. ma
ture's great medicine, has been ne
elected.
Stop loading your stomach with
patent medicines and cure-alls; but
get on the water wagon. II you are
really sick, why, of course, take the
proper medicines-plain common
vegetable treatment, which will not
shatter the nerves or ruin the stom-
ach."
When requested for such a pre-
scription for the cure of rheumatism
and kidney trouble the answer was;
"You must make the kidneys do
their work; they are the filters Of
the blood. They must be made to
strain out OF the blood the waste mat
ter and acids that cause rheumatism;
the urine must be neutrallzed so 1t
will no longer be a source of irrita-
tion to the bladder. and, most of all,
you must keep these acids from form
ing IN the stomach. This is the
cause Of stomach trouble and poor
digestion. For these conditions I
would suggest the following prescrip-
ton: Fluid Extract Dandellon, one
half ounce; Compound Kargon, one
ounce; Compound Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Mix by shaking well In
bottle and take In teaspoonfuI doses
after each meal and at bedtime but
don't forget the water Drink plen-

This valuable information and sim
pie prescription should be posted up

first sign Of an attack Of rheumatism

ter how slight.

District of Columbia Gets Big Slice.

From the blue Book" which is
shortly to be isued at Washington,
it appears there are 2S,947 employees
.of the United States government re-
siding in the District OF Columbia,
receiving S51,541,225 annually. This
does not count the senator's and con-
gressmen, and the session employees,
committee clerks, private secretaries,
etc. The government puts in circu-
lation IN Washington more than
$50,000, 900 annually; it's share Of the
District OF Columbia expenses alone
is between eight and nine millions.
AS all this Is paid in currency and
the payments are as regular as clock
work, there is good reason why the
currency famine" has not been felt
there to the same extent as else
where.
