We are living In a very rapid age.
Few of US bother our heads about
small things, and so many persons look
upon a pain, ache or lameness In the
back as a small thing. They wait for it
to pass off. giving no thought to the
cause. Remember; The kidneys are
the sewers Of the system; they carry
off the impure matter. but sewers
sometimes become clogged up. So do
the kidneys. The kidneys are located
near the small of the back. hence any
stoppage affects the back. This means
hackache, lame back. weak back and
many other distressing symptoms.
There is lots more TO tell on this SUBJ

HIGH LIQUOR LICENSE
MEANS LOWER TAXES

Councilmen in session last night
to further consider estimates for
the next year and a half favored al
most to a man an increase In the
saloon licenses from 5000 to- 81 600
The exceptions are Councilmen
Gray, Funk and Brown. 1t was stat
ed last night that could the license
be increased, the $4,000 added to
the treasury would decrease the tax
levy by mills and with the other
proposed reduction in estimates,
which will amount to more than
$4,000, the tax levy may be re.
duced to II mills.
Last years levy was IL mills. A
heavy cut was recommended in the
estimate of $3.50 for police patrol
wagon expense. A cool thousand
was clipped from this. The request
for $4,000 for police court justice
expenses was cut to $2,160, same as
1t was last year. Justice Hinkle
wanted his salary raised from 500
to $125 a month and that of Clerk
S. A. Mann from $50 to 500.
1t was definitely decided to ap-
propriate $4,000 for a city hall ele-
vator.
The council will meet again Tues
day night and after hearing charges
of graft against A. M. Macho, the
employment agent, will consider
more estimates.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Aug. 16.
President Shepard, of the National
Trackmen's union, has notified Gov
ernor Folk that he will apply to the
proper source to have Railroad and
Warehouse Commissioners Oglesby
and Wightman removed from Office
under the derelict officials act.
Shepard said he will file affidavits
with the attorney general to show
that these commissioners did not
perform their duty in making the
inspection of the Missouri Pacific

CHILD AGED 5 YEARS
A MURDERER

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 16.-The
most youthful slayer in the world
is Carl Max, 5, Cotton. Angered at
playmate, Edw. Felix, 5, Carl
pushed Edward under the wheels OF
a moving Santa Fee train.
The little fellow was not instant
ly killed and, although crushed and
mangled, made his way home. He
was then taken to the Cotton hos
pital and died two hours later.
The boys had been playing near
the tracks and the trouble arose
over Edward calling Carl a "mon-
key" 1t is claimed the pushing of
the child under the train was in
territorial and was not due to acct
dent.
Cotton officials are at loss what
course to pursue regarding the
youthful murderer. 1t is realized
that he was too young to under
stand the enormity of the deed.

SHORT WEIGHT
BUTTER SOLD
Standard Test Shows That creamerles Take
Rakeoff on Every Pound.

Butter Is dear enough certainly
in this city to insure the purchaser
honest measure, but that a full
pound is not being sold for the
price demanded can be demonstrate
ed by any buyer who cares to make
the test.
Yesterday several tests OF butter
supposed to be sold at 16 ounces
to the pound was made on standard
inspected scales, and the results
were as follows:
Hazelwood, 40 cents per pounds,
weighed IA ounces.
Calispell, IS cents, weighed Is
ounces.
Crown, IS cents, weighed 14k
ounces.
Hazelwood, 35-cent grade. weigh
ed IA ounces.
These tests were made at the Elk
Supply Co, corner of Pacific av. and
Washington st.
That short-weight butter is palm
ed Off on buyers in this city is ad-
mitted by the grocery dealers. The
retail association once took the mat
ter up and secured honest measure
for time, but the rule did not last.
Last session Of the legislature the
association made a strenuous effort
to secure the passage of law fix
ing punishment for short weights
and requiring weight stamped on
packages. but the legislature took
no action.
The grocers are compelled to buy
butter at SO much brick. There Is
nothing said about weight, but 1t is
understood that brick is expected
to weigh pound and the public
buys It on that understanding.
At the ratio cited in the above in.

The board of equalization will
probably ge into executive session
tomorrow and determine upon re-
auctions asked in taxes. The board
adjourned at IL O'Clock this morn
ing. This afternoon the county
commissioners, a part of the board
of equalization, are in session on
county affairs.
Chas. W. Wolf, attorney for the
Traction Co, is expected to appear
with a new proposition to pay for
the vacation of streets and alleys
near Recreation park. The old Of
fer Of $3.50 an acre was turned down
before and $4,000 asked. The city
received $1,000 and the commits
sioners believe the county should
be paid $4,000 for 6 times as much
land. Real estate men sell land in
the vicinity at $4,000 an acre.

BARRIERS ADOPT
NEW SCALE

The BARRIERS union elected new
delegates to the Central Labor
union last night. Hereafter they
will be represented by Fred Finkle-
son, F. M. Butler and Thomas Ivy.
The union also decided to take
stock in the new union laundry and
will be represented at the next
meeting Of the various unions when
the laundry question will come up
for further consideration. The COM
mittee appointed to represent the
union Is composed of Messrs. Hud-
dleston, Finkleson and Ivey.
The scale which has been under
consideration for some time past
was finally adopted. 1t provides a
minimum wage of $18 per week.
The particular clause of the scale
governing wages provides that no
member can work for less than 60
per cent of his earnings but shall
be guaranteed $18 per week. If he
earns more than $50 he receives $18
and 60 per cent of all earning over
$40.
Extra men put on for / day dur
ing the week must be guaranteed
SO for the days work but must be
paid extra in case 60 per cent of his
earnings amount to more than So.
The union wished to reduce the
hours 1 hour per day but have con-
ceeded that to the boss BARRIERS and
the hours will remain as formerly.
No trouble is expected in enforc-
ing the scale as nearly every shop
In the city has agreed to the in
crease and those who have not
signed up are expected to do SO at
an early date. The BARRIERS ridi-
cule irresponsible statements to the
effect that they are about to be in
volved in strike. They say there
has never been any danger of a
strike and that there will be none.
In fact. they say, the feeling be-
tween the union and the employers
was never better.
The union is making preparations
to make creditable' showing in the
Labor day parade. They say they
are out for the prize offered for the
best appearing union. This is the
first time in years that the union
has Joined in the Labor day festivi-
ties.

BEASTLY
HUSBAND

The worst evidence ever heard in
the local police court was brought
out this morning before Justice
Hinkle on the preliminary examina-
ton of G. r. Richardson on q
charge of failure to provide for wife
and family. 1t is the first trial of
a case under the recent law against
wife desertion.
Mrs. Richardson, comedy wo-
man with 3 small children, told q
story so narrowing in detail that
women left the court room and the
men felt like taking Richardson out
and dealing with him in vigilante
style. Among other things she said
her husband wanted ne TO take a
French name and go out and sell
her honor. When in need Of money
and she would ask him for 1t. he
would tell her to go and make 1t.
She named telephone girl, Sue
Mercer, as the chief cause of her
unhappiness here in Spokane. This
girl was put upon the witness stand
and seemed hypnotized by Richard
son. She told in straightforward
way about her associations with
Richardson and declared that when
she met him first she did not know
until months afterward that he
was married. She was hysterical
for while and once declared with
ardor that If the prisoner secured a
divorce she would marry him. Three
other girls employed with her were
also in court and testified that Rich
ardson used to call for the girls
number and hold long conversations
with her.
Richardson has been employed as
a "spotter" with the Washington
Water Power Co.
The examination will be resumed
this afternoon and II is predicted by
officers that the case will go to the
superior court.

The length to which mercenary
newspapers will 60 to maintain
holdup tactics Is illustrated in this
city in the case of Ringling's cir
Gus which shows in Spokane tomor-
row. Because the circus refused to
stand for the arbitrary and exorbi-
.tant advertising rates (Which Spo-
kane business men also had to suf-
fer before The Press entered the
field the circus management was
informed by the Cowles papers that
the show could not expect to do any
business in Spokane. The circus
has used The Press exclusively In
consequence and the indications are
that the Ringlings will do bigger
business here tomorrow than ever
before.
To make good their threats, how
ever, both the Review and Chronicle
have resorted to the old style meth
DDS of knocking an enterprise that
had incurred the disfavor of the
business office regardless Of its mer-
it's. The Chronicle has solemnly
warned people to stay out OF crowds
for fear Of catching "toxima," new
malady discovered for circus pur-
poses. Both papers published re-
ports that the Ringlings were in
fected with diphtheria at Walla
Walla.
Both DR.. Grieve, Spokane health
officer, and DR.. A. E. Braden, health
officer at Walla Walla, pronounce
these reports absolutely false. DR..
Braden gave a certificate pronounc-
ing the circus sanitary and in ex-
cellent condition. A Spokesman-Re-
view correspondent aided in the ex-
animation evidently under instruc-
lions to discover the diseases as he
failed to report the result correctly.
The Press is not interested in any
newspaper personal fights, but it
gives space to expose this form of
graft exactly as it would any other.

". W.P. REFUSES TO .
INSTALL new LIGHTS
Applicants Petition In Vain and City Can Do
Nothing Under Contract Company
Wants Renewed.

On Aug. 1 the board of public
works asked the Washington Water
Power Co. to install an arc light at
the corner Of Sprague av. and Napa
st. This light was especially re-
quested by Postmaster Harrison,
who said that it would be great
accommodation to the public be-
cause station "B" of the postofflce
department had been put there. The
company has made no move to put
in this light.
The contract with the city made
years ago requires the company
to put in such lights as the city
wants. But there is no penalty at
tached If this Is not done and in
consequence the company pays no
heed. In this. as in other respects,
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1907-08-16

the w. w. p. contract is very con-
venient. More than 30 new lights
have been ordered since April, but
are not installed.
On Aug. 81 the present contract
of the company expires. A new bid
at 81 per light per month was sub
mitted last Tuesday and was re-
ferred to the committee Of the
whole council. The disposition OF
councilmen Is to limit the contract
to l year, but the company objects
to this on the grounds that 1t costs
as high as 5000 to install some lights
and it would not regain its outlay
were a short contract forced.
AS matters stand at present it
costs the company nothing to install
new lights. The company installs no
new lights,

DUE
IN STRIKE

Evidently the telegraph tie-up is
as bad as ever today as no govern
ment or press messages are coming
through. Pres. Small of the tele-
graphers' union. arrived in Chicago
last night and it was expected that
his visit there would result in the
declaration of general strike that
would call out the entire member
ship OF 10000 men. Startling news
Is expected tomorrow.
The local union here met as usual
today and discussed local phases of
the trouble. G. w. Stoves, the only
union man who remained at work,
promised the strikers last night
that he would join them. but he re-
turned to the Office later and put in
the long shift those now working
have to endure.

oner with double caution, since
there is no way for him to escape

year ago plot to blow up part

fined was discovered and prevented.
Dynamite was found near the hall
where it had apparently been left
while the ones who sought Dalton's
freedom went for more.
Officer Stotko was killed in cold
blood on the N. P. railroad track

TONS theory was that the gang OF
which Dalton was member had
been caught in attempted robbery
by Stotko and a convicting case
was made against Dalton.

CONVICT is SET FREE TO
SEE HIS DYING BABY

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Aug. To-
Holding a telegram containing the
news that his baby could not live
two hours, Oscar Earle, white
convict, touched the heart of Gov.
Conner with plea for mercy.
Tears ran down the cheeks of the
stricken father as he begged to be
allowed to see his child and comfort
his wife. The governor, himself
father of large family, wept,
turned to his desk and wrote a re-
lease for ten days that the convict
might go home.
Men who know Of the case say
the Imprisonment of Earle is a mis-
carriage of Justice; he shot a man
who was abusing him.

So stated James Dalton, under
sentence Of death for the. murder of
Officer James Stotko, when inter-

he sat alone. in cell, apparently
trying to read.
About o'clock yesterday after
noon the decision of the supreme
court. refusing him new trial, was
received here, and soon after that
the doomed man was notified. He
received the information stolidly.
The long confinement in the county
Jail has so paled his cheeks that he
looks like an entirely different man
from the one who defied the prose-
cution during his trial for the MUIR

April 1906.

GAS PLANT BLUNDER

A blunder by employees of the

$3.50 O'Clock this morning put in
jeopardy the lives OF hundreds of
people. BY shutting off the wrong
main, gas in the southern part of
the city was turned of. Discover

without any notice, the gas was
once more turned on. Many people
had lit gas stoves when they got
up and when the gas was turned off
they went out.
