OUR NATIONAL DANGER.
Time to Cry a Halt Before Panic
Comes.

The business spirit is crushing out
the sweeter element of home life.
We are in danger of great COM
mercial decline, because men, as a
whole, think only of getting wealth.
There are thousands, both men
and women who do not take time to
eat properly. They rush through
life, and as a result we have an age
of indigestion, nervousness irrita-
bility, sleepless nights, and morose
disposition.
With the discovery of Mi-o-na tab
lets, there Is no longer any excuse
for one to have Ill health from stom-
ach weakness.
Mi-o-na strengthens the walls of
the stomach, stimulates secretion of
the digestive juices, regulates the
liver and restores muscular contrac-
ton to the intestines and bowels so
no laxative is needed.
Sick headache, palpitation, bad
taste in the mouth, yellow skin, irri-
liability, coated tongue and melan-
choly are few Of the many Distress
ing results of Indigestion. Mi-o-na
never fails to dlspel all these trou-
bles.
Tallman & Co. sell Ml-o-na in So
cent boxes, and guarantee to refund
the money is the remedy does not
give satisfaction.

A certain remedy for such attacks,
A medicine that answers every call,

Pendleton. Ore. seys: "To help any
one suffering from. kidney complaint
by bringing to their knowledge q

our fellow beings. When my son
was in need of such a remedy for
backache and kidney complaint he
went to the Pendleton Drug Co.'s store
and procured Doan's Kidney Pills.
After taking them the whole trouble
was entirely removed. 1t required
three boxes to bring about this result.

TRIED TO STEAL MAIL.
Plucky Operator Jerks Sack from
Robbers-Box of Powder Found.

Robbers-Box of Powder Found.
A daring attempt to steal a sack
Of United States mail was made at
the Wapato railroad station at 500
a. m. Saturday morning, but was
frustrated by Night Operator l.. e.
Hess, of the railroad company says
the Yakima Republic.
As usual the mail clerk OF the
North Coast Limited threw the sack
onto the station platform as the train
nassed through and one of a party OF
three men standing nearby grabbed
the sack. Hess took his lantern ana
going I'D to the would-be thief, took
hold of the sack.
what are you doing with thatT'
he demanded.
"You go back into your office and
keep STILL" replied the stranger.
Hess however, jerked the sack
away from the man and took it into
the office. The stranger followed
and drawing a big gun endeavored to
intimidate the operator, in which at
tempt he failed and finally departed.
The operator got an excellent de-
scription of the man who took the
sack and has furnished 1t to Sheriff
Edwards and Deputy United States
Marshal Short The other two men
kept in the background and Hess did
not get a good view of them. 1t is
thought that the would-be thieves
were amateurs" as they would have
had little difficulty in securing the
sack had they resorted to the meth
DDS of professional thugs.
The attempt to steal the sack of
mail gave rise to some sensational
stories in the city Saturday night to
the effect that an attempt had been
made to hold up and blow up the
North Coast Limited. These stories.
however, do not have any foundation.
While searching for the men who
endeavored to get away with the mail
sack, Town Marshal Barnes found a
box containing 25 pounds of giant
powder concealed at the rear of War
ners warehouse under culvert.
There appears to be no connection

Seneca on saXaae Eortituds.

When Seneca wrote his inspiring phi iosophy our ancestors who dwelt north of the Alps were savages. We may take some pride in the fact that he points to these savages as exemplars in fortitude for the Romans: You may see what endurance might effect in us if you observe what labor does among tribes that are naked and rendered stronger by want. Look at all the na- tions that dwell beyond the Roman em- pfre-I mean the Germans and all the nOmad tribes that war against us along the Danube. They suffer from eternal winter and a dismal climate. The bar ren soil grudges them sustenance. They keep off the rain with leaves or thatch; they bound across frozen marshes and hunt wild beasts for food. Do you think them unhappy? There is no un- happiness in what use has made part of ones nature. By degrees men find pleasure in doing what they were first driven to do by necessity. They have no homes and no resting places save those which weariness appoints them for the day: their food, though coarse, yet must be sought with their own hands; the harshness of the climate is terrible. and their bodies are unclothed. This, which you think a hardship, Is the mode of life of all these races. How. then. can you wonder at good men being shaken in order that they may be strengthened: No tree which the wind does not often blow against is firm and strong, for it is stiffened by the very act Of being shaken and plants it's roots more securely. Those which grow in a sheltered valley are brittle. And so it is to the advantage of good men and causes them to be un- dismayed that they should live much amid alarms and learn to bear with patience what is not evil save to him who endures it ill.

Demetrius, who was sUruamCd P0it- orcetes, took Megara, and the ph.!oso- pher Stlbo, when asked by him whcth- CT he had lost anything, answered, No; carry ali my property abOut me" Yet his inheritance had been given up to pillagc. his daughters had been out ragged by tho enemy, his country had fallen under d foreign dominion. and it

ENDING OF THE
 HAYWOOD TRIAL.

, With the beginning of the argu- ments of the counsel for the prosecu- ton and defense, in the trial of Wm. Haywood in Idaho for complicity in the Steuenberg murder, one of the most sensational trials in the cTimi- nals annals of our country is fast drawing to q close. The trial has lasted sixty days and has been ably conducted on both sides but the pre- vailing opinion is that the attorneys for the prosecution have out classed the attorneys for the defense. This was especially noticeable in the cross examination, the defense failing to shake the testimony of a single wit ness for the prosecution, while on the other hand Haywood, in the hands of Senator Borah for the prosecution, was nervous, evasive, and finally the confession was forced from him that the sentiments expressed by the Min CTS Magazine regarding Gov. Steuen- berg, were also his sentiments.
 The decision of Judge Wood on Friday, to strike out the testimony relative to the deportation of union miners from the Cripple Creek dis trict, and the story of the clash there between the militia and miners, will no doubt tend to weaken the side of the defense. Some of the important testimony of the defense has been cast aside. while all of the testimony of the prosecution has been held to be relevant and material.
 From a reading of the published ac- counts of the trial one is impressed Eith the fact of the close relations existing between Mover, Haywood Pettibone and Orchard, the self-con- fessed murderer It has not been shown eonclusiyely that Haywood had guilty knowledge of the attempt to be made on the life of Steuenberg, but the testimony of the prosecution has been strong enough to show that Haywood was familiar with Orchard s movements during that time and en- tered into conspiracy to thrown Or chard's wife off of the trail of her husband.
 The attempt of the defense to prove that the crimes committed by Orchard were instigated by the Mine Owners association fell flat and the long story of crime and assassination told by Orchard has been corroborat. ed as to the minor details.
 Thescase will soon be in the hands of an impartial jury and the public with the exception of the radical So. cialists. are willing to accept the yer. diet of that jury as the result of a fair and impartial trial, whether it be for conviction or acquittal

His Graca.

Little Milly is good Sunday school scholar and on that account was invit- ed with two or three others to spend the day at the minister's residence by way of reward. When the dinner came on the good man said such long grace before meat that Milly yawned and looked hungrily at the covers.
 "Why are you yawning, MillyT" ask ed the minister. Does not your fla ther say graceT'
 'fOh, yes" answered Milly promptly. but it isn't so long as that"
 And what does he say" pursued the clergyman. hoping to obtain a text for a little homily.
 "He says different things, but last time when he sat down he took of the cover and said: Great snakesl Do you call this a dinner?"

 Locked Piano.
 Not all the great composers have courted the constant adulation of tlI'. world. Verdi used to lament that he was unable to find a refuge, even foH a brief space, from the reputation thut preceded him wherever he went.
 At one time he desired to spend a much needed holiday at the watering place of Montecatini. When he arrived. he found that in one of the apart ments assigned to him stood q grand piano of noted make. On the rack. by way of compliment, lay the score of I'll TrOvatOre." As soon as he caught sight of it the veteran flew into a rage, hastily locked the instrument, threw the score into a corner and, calling for his host, demanded in tragic tones:
 Lead me to the spot that overhangs the steepest precipicer'
 Wondering, the host did as he was bidden, and on reaching the summit the maestro, who was almost exhaust ed from fatigue, flung the key of the piano into the abyss, energetically eX- claiming as he did so:
 Now I have done something to se- cure rest and quiet. On the day of my departure I shall send a locksmith tG provide the piano with a new key, but while I am here I pray you let it re- main as it is."-New York Tribune.
