August 3 the bodies were removed
and some time afterward buried, but
without the simplest service, not the

burial. The little band of Japanese
Christians in North Yakima gath

whereby the services of a pastor
were secured and the last sad words
were said over the bodies of the I'M
known dead. Probably somewhere
there are relatives, perhaps white

BRONCHIAL TROUBLES.
Readily Yield to Soothing Healing
Treatment OF Hyomei.

Bronchial troubles are purely To-

air alone. In this lies the secret Of
the great success of Hy-o-mei in the
treatment of bronchial troubles.
The first breath of Hy-o- mei's
medicated air soothes the infam-
nation. stops the cough and relief
soon becomes permanent and cure
results.
Hy-o-mei has made many remark

w. r. SAFER SAYS ALL BERTHS
WILL BE TAKEN.
FIFTY FROM OUTSIDE OF
THE CITY IS PREDICTION
Travelling Passenger Agent Most OPP
timistic Over Outlook for the
Booster Eastern Trip.

Conviction that the business men
and landowners of the Yakima valley
will join in the move of the publicity
committee of the Yakima commercial
club to send great booster excur-
sion through the east was expressed
last evening by w. f. Safer, travel
ing passenger agent of the Northern
Pacific railroad, who is in the city for
several days work in organizing for
the trip.
"After looking over the situation,
talking to dozen or so business
men and carefully mapping out plans
for the trip" said Mr.. Safer, Il am
sure that North Yakima will back up
the publicity committee, that there
will be a general demand for places
on the trip and that every berth out
of the hundred will be taken before
September 10. AS the excursions
looks good to me.
81 made a canvass of few bust
ness houses with Secretary Zuppann
of the publicity committee this af-
ternoon and we secured promises
from a number that they would buy
tickets and go on the trip. We also
secured information that half doz-
en- more were considering going.
II have looked over the situation
through the valley and believe that
if North Yakima will furnish fifty of
the hundred the others will get
aboard from the other towns.
"Ellensburg can be counted on for
three or four, Prosser is pretty GER
tain to have ten or a dozen. Sunny
side will be represented, too, with
several. Granger, Toppenish and
Wapato have already applied for a
berth apiece. and there will be more
from each place.
you can mark it down in your
book that the trip is a go, it looks
better than some other big trips
that have been undertaken, and with
the backing of good excursion COM
mittee, the publicity committee, the
Northern Pacific officials and the big
landowners who ought to be inter-
ested, l am sure it will be the event
of the year.
This is the biggest publicity
move that has ever been attempted
in the United States. for it is the
longest trip ever made by a special
train boosting for any city or section.
That means lot for North
Yakima. 1t means that the eyes of
the United States will be conferred on
the trip, that the papers will exploit
it in every community and that the
travellers will be received well in
every community they visit 1t is
the best advertising that could be
done, it is bound to bring results
Mr.. Safer will continue his can
vass in the city today and will
meet the publicity committee at a
meeting late this afternoon.

Upon motion it was decided to bring
Mr.. Nicolai before the people at II
O'Clock. 1t was further decided that
Mayor Tiffany proceed to secure the
presence of Mr.. Nicolai. After Sc
curing the assistance of S. j. Harri-
son the mayor proceeded with a car
riage to the residence of Mr.. Nicolai,
where they found Captain Swain, a
detective who has been working on
the case. Captain Swain, after hav-
ing had an interview with Mr.. Nico-
lai, proceeded to the Federated
church with the members of the
committee and Nj. Hebron, where
the people were in waiting
Mayor Tiffany called the meeting
to order and introduced Captain
Swain, who made known the result
of his interview, which was sub
stantially as stated above.
At the close of the mass meeting
in the church the mayor requested
that the matter be not discussed dur
ing the day, or if discussed at all
that it be done calmly and dispas-
sionately in order that there be no
violence committed. The mayors
remarks were timely, for matters
bad reached such a point within the
past few weeks that had it not been
for the cooler heads personal en-
counters would have been numer-
Gus. Many acriminous statements
had passed on both sides, one ele-
ment openly stating that they be-
lieved the liquor people were direct
ly responsible for Mr.. Nicolai's dis
appearance, while the other side as
vehemently made serious charges
concerning his character and past
record.
A Herald representative called at
the home of Mr.. Nicolai and was ac-
corder a personal interview with the
, gentleman He found him looking
thin and wan, with evident traces
of having undergone severe mental
and bodily strain in the six weeks
time he had been away from home.
He begged to be excused from dis
cussing the matter until such time
as he could gain strength and gather
his scattered thoughts together. He,
however, told his story briefly, which
is identical with that given above
Mr.. Nicolai expressed himself as
gratified at the persistent efforts OF
his friends to locate him and the
faith and loyalty shown by them in
all their dealings in the matter. Had
| il not been for the offered reward
he would have been home shortly
after regaining his mind, but the
constant fear that he had committed
some grievous crime, and the fact
that he could not think lucidly only
at intervals made him fear to re-
veal his whereabouts to his friends
until a more opportune time.
Mr.. Nicolai states that his first in
timation of the real reason why a
reward had been offered for infor-

nation concerning him was a story
printed in a newspaper giving the
account Of the appearance of the
Sunnyside committee before the
commissioners about week ago.
He Immediately wrote letter to Mr..
Cline of Sunnyside stating his where
abouts. but as Mr.. Cline has been
away from home for several days, the
information which the letter con-
tanned could not be made public un-
til his arrival home and the letter
opened.

Only once before has Sunnyside
ever been so wrought up as on Sat
urday, and that was at the time of
the disappearance of H. E. Nicolai
ed by the temperance of the man
who was so mysteriously lost sight
of on the night of June 20. There
had been rumors of every descrip-
ton concerning his disappearance
until very little credence was put in
any of the stories anymore. When
word came over the phone that Mr..
Nicolai was coming home accom-
panied by his son-in-law very few
would believe the news until it had
been verified by a message to Mr..
Harrison at Mabton. He phoned
that it was indeed a fact and that
he would be home as soon as the
stage could get there. The news
spread like wildfire. Within an
hour hundreds had gathered at the
hotel where the stage makes regular
stops to await its arrival. Groups
gathered on the corners and every
immaginable reason advanced for his
going away.
The interest and excitement that
was felt by every man, woman and
child was strongly manifest by ev-
erybody. When at last the stage
was seen coming down the street
men rushed into and up the street
crying Where is he; where is hep

senger, Mr.. S. ]. Harrison. Mr..
Nicolai and his son-in-law, John Hef-
from, having been conveyed by pri-
vate carriage to Mr.. Nicolai's house
upon the hill. Immediately Mr..
Harrison mounted hay wagon. and
as soon as the crowd had gathered
closely about the wagon and quiet
had been secured, stated that Mr..
Nicolai was at his home. He furth-
er said: "Mr. Nicolai says that from
the time he talked with Mr.. Horton
on the night Of June goth to July
7th, all is blank"
HE knows not where he had
been or under what circumstances or
conditions he had existed.
ION July 7th he found himself sit
ting in the railway station in Seattle
and policemen was telling a man
that reward of $3.50 had been Of
fered for Mr.. Nicolai.
1.-The thought came to him tina.
perhaps he had committed some
crime or injured some member OF
his family.
"He became frightened and then
went to a barber shop and had his
beard removed, after which he Sc
cured employment on a farm.
After several days he wrote to
his daughter in Wisconsin, asking
her to tell him why he was wanted
and asking If his family was safe. .
Mr.. Harrison further stated that
he knew nothing more about the
case.
The crowd Immediately demanded
that Mr.. Nicolai be produced and

Properties of Gold.

Pure gold is unaffected by the atmos- phere either at ordinary temperatures or when the metal is heated It is also proof against the action of common acids when used singly Moreover, it confers it's properties more or less upon copper and silver when these metals are alloyed with it. Thus, for example. twelve karat gold will withstand the action of nitric acid and the atmos- phere ar ordinary temperature, but some of the copper will be oxidized during annealing. Nine parts of gold may be alloyed with ten parts of plat mum in an ordinary crucible and fire, but such an alloy will not be uniform. A larger proportion of platinum will free itself from the gold on solidifica- tion, and a homogeneous alloy of the two metals cannot be obtained.-Jewel- CTS Circular Weekly.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their Unceasing WOrK Keeps Us
 Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes through the kidneys once every three minutes. The kidneys filter the blood. They work night and day. When healthy they remove about 300 grains of impure matter daily, when unhealthy some part of this impure matter is left in the blood This brings on many dis eases and symptoms-pain in the back, headache, nervousness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism, gout, gravel, disorders of the eyesight and hear
 1g, dizziness, irregular heart, de-
 ility, drowsiness, GrOpsy, deposits
 l the urine, etc. But of you keep
 le filters right you will have no
 rouble with your Kidneys.
 F. Levy, dealer in tobacco and cigars. at 215 Main st.. and living at S23 West Sixth st, Little Rock, Ark, says: There was a miser- able feeling in the small of my back and a feeling of weakness. As I do a great deal of driving blamed the constant jolting for causing the severe pain across my kidneys. Whatever the cause of the trouble was after l started to use Doan's Kidney Pills my back gave me very little annoyance. the use of this remedy having driven the lameness entirely away. I have rec commended Doan's Kidney Pills to several of my acquaintances and shall continue to do so for I know they can be relied upon to bring re- lief in cases oI backache."

Wooden Ancnors,

The Basqucs, l strange race inter mediate between French and Span .ards, have for all time been great fish ermen, and some of their craft and seagoing gear are totally different from any other known types. Perhaps the most remarkable relic of bygone civilizations is the primitive wooden anchor still in use among them and to be seen in the fishing settlements round Biarritz, Guethary or St. Jean de Luz These wooden anchors are in all prob ability of the identical type In use among the Phoenicians twenty centu- ries ago. The wooden anchor is rough hewn out of three branches, so fasten- ed to a crossbar, also of wood, as to in close q great stone of twenty or thirty pounds weight. Here is a cheap but effectual anchor for comparatively light boats. It can be made on the spot, and 1t entails little loss if, in sudden sQuall, it has to be left imbedded in the rocks
