IMITATION PEARLS.

Drilled Through Them.
The means of ascertaining the genu--
lneness of pearls, which are frequently
initiated with marvellous skill, is es-
pecially important to the layman, even
though the jeweler may quickly detect
them. limitations are usually lighter
than real pearls and generally are brit
tie, although some are made solid Of
fish scales and do not bre5k so easily.
while the holes which in tie real pearl
are driilel very small and have sharp
edge. are in the false larger and have a
blunt edge As a rule the imitation
pearls are like hollow spheres of glass
colored internally with a coating imi-
tating the orient of natural pearl.
The manufacture of these articles
embraces two series of operhtions-the
production of the sphere and the intro
duction of coating. The spheres are
produced by the glassblower. who by
AID of an enameler's lamp Soldiers the
extremity of a tube when the sub
stance is of the right consistency. In
this way are obtained very regular lit
tie spheres that serve for the composi-
ton of the ordinary quality of false
pearls.
In the more beautiful limitations the
tube employed is slightly opalescent.
and the glassblower, besides. gives to
the little spheres while they are yet
malleable certain slight percepuble in

BEWARE OF "DIGESTIVES"
THE ONLY WAY TO CURE STOMACH
DISORDERS is STRENGTHENING
THE DIGESTIVE ORGANS.

DISORDERS is STRENGTHENING
THE DIGESTIVE ORGANS.
The ordinary dyspepsia" tablet
has ruined more stOmachs than
all other causes combined. Civ
ing temporary relief, it leaves the
digestive system weaker than ever,
and the tablets must be continued
with increasing frequency.
The only way to completely
cure stomach troubles is by
strengthening the digestive organs
with a Mona stomach tablet
taken before meals. Used in this
way, Mona excites the secretion
of gastric juice, and when the
food is swallowed, the stomach is
ready to digest it.
Mona stomach tablets are
never sold in bulk, but in a nea
box. convenient for the purse OF

Passenger Business Out OF Newport

Mr.. F. A. Blackwell was a Newport

expected to begin passenger and freight
service out OF this city on Nov. Is. That
the building next to the old MINER office

would be used for temporary office and
passenger depot until the new depot
could be finished. Work will be started
on the new depot as soon as the one at
Spirit AXE is finished
In conversation with Mr.. Blackwell he
said the new road will begin an active
campaign for business at this point;
that it would accept cashiers checks,
personal checks, drafts, clearing house
certificates, certificates of deposit, or any
equivalent of cash in payment for pas
senger, freight or express service on the
new road.
Newport merchants can now have

over the Spokane International and
Canadian Pacific from st. Paul and
prompt service is assured. Every effort
will be made to accommodate the public

Large forces of men are kept at work

otherwise getting the road ready for the

A temporary injunction was granted
Mr.. Lund and others last week by the
Superior Court at Colville, restraining
the road from using that part of it's track
across Fourth street and Union avenue
on block IL of this city, and no trains are
being run across it until the matter is
settled up. A hearing of the case will
be held at Colville today.
