Bad Indian Arrested.

Billy Dixon, the Simcoe Indian who
made a murderous assault upon Town
Marshal Clarence Adams Of Yakima
City, on the road to the reservation
Thursday night, will be charged with
assault and intent to commit a fell
ony, or attempted murder, and the in
formation gainst him will be flied di-
rect by Prosecuting Attorney Wende
in the superior court, to avoid the
necessity of a preliminary hearing.
Dixon has not yet secured counsel
says the Yakima Republic.
Dixon has a bad reputation. A few
years ago he attempted to hold up
Sheriff Edwards while the latter wss
riding through Union Gap. The In
dian rode up to the sheriff and seized
the bride OF his horse. The sheriff
pulled his gun and was able to scare
the man away without shooting. Dix
on, however, had a narrow escape on
that occasion Of receiving a load of
lead In his carcass.

WhIps Hubby,s COMPANION.

A dlsgraceful affair took place al
Fifteenth and Alturas streets this
afternoon, when after an exciting
chase of several blocks an angry wife
caught up with her husband, who
was out buggy riding with a young
lady, and using a horsewhip with
great force, administered severe
lashing to the young woman, who
was claiming her husbands attention,
says the Boise Capital News.
The elderly woman was accompan-
led by girl and they were driving a
fine rig. When they overlook the
man and girl, the woman Jumped out
Of her buggy with the whip and after
striking the girl with the man a blow
or two in the buggy, the young wo-
man jumped from the buggy and at
tempted to run, but was caught by the
waist and severely punished After
the girl had left the buggy, the man
drove off at rapid pace, leaving his
young companion to the mercies of
his angry wife, who exhausted her en-
ergles in the beating she administer
ed. She then climbed back into her
buggy and drove away, following her
rapidly disappearing husband.

NEW ROAD COMING
PACIFIC AND SOUTH

Company With Capital Of $4,000, 900
VIII Begin Operations In Washing
ton-Plans Are 10 Connect Tacoma,
Seattle, Spokane, Walla Walla and
Pendleton.

Pendleton figures in the plans Of a
new railroad company that has just
been organized in Washington with a
capital OF s15,000,0O0.
The Yakima Republlca says Of the
new company and its extensive plans
for connecting the various towns of
the northwest:
North Yakima is slated for another
railroad which will connect Spokane
and Walla Walla with Tacoma. 1t is
to be known as the Pacific and South
eastern railway company
Articles Of Incorporation have been
filed at Olympia, the capital stock be-
ing $15,00O,000 and the purposes as
announced are to construct railways
to coal mines at Wilkeson and South
Prairie creek, and by way of Naches
Pass or Bear Gap to North Yakima,
and thence to Suokane and Walla
Walla.
The trustees are General James NJ.
Ashton, Tacoma; General Thomas b.
Hubbard and Thomas Crocker of New
York, and w. II. Hayden and c. e.
Palmer of Tacoma. The plan of the
the incorporators is to run the road
up the PuyalluP river valley, through
the coal mining district in the vicin-
ity of Carbonado then across the
Cascades by way Of the Naches pass
and thence straightway to the east.
Branch lines are also, in time, to
be constructed to Portland, Seattle,
Pendleton and other points.

BIG WOOL CLIP.
Wyoming Clip viii Exceed All Pre-
vious Records.

Estimates now being made as to
the size Of the Wyoming wool clip
indicate that this year Wyoming will
not only exceed all previous records
but 1t is expected viii pass Montana
which last year was nip and tuck
with this state in its total wool pro-
duction. Wyoming last year with a
production of 3S,6OO,0O pounds took
the lead for wool in the grease, but
Montana's figures on secured wool ex-
ceeded that of this state, says the
Wyoming Tribune.
This year the clip is expected to be
at least 35,0OO,OO0 pounds, and 1t is
confidently expected that this
amount when secured will also exceed
the secured product Of Montana, its
nearest competitor.
The average weight Of a fleece last
year was 10 pounds, while this year
in addition to the wool being OF
longer staple and finer quality, the
weight will probably average close to
eight pounds. The advantage to the
sheepmen of the state through this
gain alone will be readily seen.

New York, April 30.-For the pur-

gan a conference this morning at the
Manhattan hotel. The conference
will probably last through tomorrow
and a well-defined program will be

Dying Child Cries for Convict Father

Crying for his father. who is a con-

year-old child of James Darnell, q
member Of the McGlnnis gang Of box
car robbers, died this morning In a
tent on South Front street, says the

convicted car robber has lived ever
since her husband has been in the
penitentlary on the frugal earnings
she has been able to procure and with
her child has dwelt in a broken down
camp in the south end OF the city.
The child has been sick for months.
He has begged ever since his illness
to be taken to his father, whose abode
is a narrow cell in the Washington
state penitentiary at Walla Walla. The
mother is In despair. Her life has
been one of toll and privatlon since
Darnell was taken away last fall.

Cigarette Causes Fire.

Yesterday afternoon at 4 O'Clock
a blaze was discovered in a barn
owned by II. Glenn adjoining the
band stand in the city park and used
by Mr.. Sawtelle, a teamster in this
city says The Dalles Chronicle. The
fire company reached the scene with
remarkable promptltude and soon had
the fire under control, and the yards
and park were soon filled with citi-
zens expecting to see quite blaze,
but fortunately there was no damage
done aside from the burning Of the
shingles nthe shed roof Of the barn
which It will cost about SO to re-
place. It is thought the fire was
caused by small boys smoking cigar
cites around the barn. 1t was lis

filled the space Immediately back Of

He Won the Breaches.

There is proverbial phrase signify
ing that the wife is master in the
household, by which it is intimated
that 'she wears the breeches." The
phrase is both odd and common and is
only half understood by modern ex-
plantations, but in medieval story we
learn how "she'' first put in her claim
to wear this particular article Of dress.
A French writer of the thirteenth
century (Hugues Piaucelles) relates
some of the adventures Of couple
whose household was not entirely har-
monious. Sire Haines was the hus-
band; Dame Anieuse. the wife. After
a quarrel one evening Sire Hams said,
"Early in the morning I will take off
my breaches and lay them down in the
middle Of the court, and the one who
can win them will be acknowledged
the master or mistress of the house"
Dame Anieuse accepted the chal-
lenge. The battle was fought the next
morning 1t was long battle, and it
was bloody. At the end Sire Helms
bore off the breaches, but the good
dame had convinced the world that she
was entitled to wear them in her own
house,

William S. Forwood, Jr., progressive
Hartford county farmer, is the first in
Hartford or Cecil county we have heard
of to use the King road drag. that simple
device With (which such wonderful results
have been obtained in improving the
condition of public roads in other sec
tiors, but which none of our farmers in
this locality have yet tried, mainly, we
suspect, through lack of moral courage,
fearing the ridicule and criticism of their
less progressive neighbors.
One thing in favor of the drag which
should appeal to our busy farmers who
have sections of road to keep 10 repair, is
the fact that work on the roads with it is
carried on only during rain or just after
ward, when it is too wet for farm work.
The device is SO simple and easy to oper-
ate and such excellent results have been
obtained by its persistent use, that it is to
be hoped some of our road members will
have one made and give it thorough
trial.
In Talbot county, in order to encourage
the use Of split log drag, the Good Roads
League offers prizes of $Ioo, $50 and $25
for the best second and third best sections
of road upon which the implement is
used Why could not our Sixth District
Road Leage secure a section or two of
road from the County Commissioners
upon which to put drag in operation,
noting the result, cost, etc. This would
afford an opportunity of determining the
practicahility of the device in our section.

The Accommodating Spanish Cow.


1t was the first COW we had seen in
Spain. and she had every right to be
the naughty creature that she was. A
girl led her about the plaza at dusk,
milking a thimbleful of the rare bev-
erage at the houses of the customers,
and it is hard to say which of the
three concerned was the most proud
the one sold. the one who bought or
the one who gave the milk. She of the
bovine race was decorated with an old
chenille fringed curtain and. as though
that was not enough to boast of. pulled
along the streets a very unruly but
bouncing daughter. The calf was tied
to the tail of. the cow by rope and
had already learned the ineffable joy
of hanging limp and being dragged by
her fond parent. Fortunately the rope
was not too long for disciplinary pur-
poses. and when exasperated beyond
all polite admonition the cloven hoof

Smallest Deer In the World.

The "mousedeer'' is the chevrotain,
one of the smallest of hoofed animals.
1t stands less than twelve inches in
height at the shoulder The prevailing
color of the fur is brown. finely spec
killed. with yellow. The spots are large
and sometimes run into each other and
form stripes. The underparts of the
body are white. 1t possesses the pecul-
lar habit of walking on the tips Of its
hoofs. This lends a stiffness to the
legs, which has gained for the chevro-
tain the reputation of having no knee
joints. 1t has no horns orr antlers.
But. as in the case of the musk deer,
the male is provided with large canine
teeth or tusks in the upper jaw. 1t is
of exceedingly timid disposition and
lies hidden in the jungle throughout
the day and only ventures to feed in
the early morning and after dusk in
the evening. In captivity this tiny ma
tive of India is gentle, quite tame, but
always shy.-Chicago Tribune.

The Spread OF Local option.

Seven States, nearly 1900 counties,
almost 10000 towns and townships and
1856 cities, with a population of 5000 to
10000. have adopted local option or
prohibitory laws in suppression of the
liquor traffic in the United States
There are II cities. each having a pop
ulation of more than so. 900, that are dry,
and 10 whose population is between
10000 aud $4,000. Many of the States
have been swept close to prohibitory laws
by the spread of local option sentiment;
one.half of Nebraska is without saloons;
of the 24I counties in Texas 152 are dry;
2o of the SIS counties in West Virginia
have shut out the saloons; Sc of the 100
counties of Virginia have adopted local
option; II of the 20 counties in
Maryland are dry, while in three others
saloons are countenanced in but one
town in each; "a of the us counties of
Missouri are in the local option column;
in Ohio three counties and 1921 townships
and small towns have voted against
liquor, while in Minnesota 1911 town
ships and villages are dry.
Georgia's prohibition law went into
effect on Jan. of this year; Alabama will
go under constitutional prohibition Jan
next; Mississippi will begin the enforce
ment of its prohibitory statute on the
same date; Kansas has been prohibi
ton State since 1880; Maine since 1855;
North Dakota since 1889. and Oklahoma
came into the Union without legalized
saloons in 1907.
So persistent have the Massach usetts
anti.saloon campaiguers waged their war
that Is per cent of the territory of the
State is under prehibitory law; rs per
cent of Minnesota is dry. while Kentucky,
the home of moonshine whisky since the
Revolution, now has but four counties
wholly wet. Even the Mormons have
caught the fever, and it is confidently
asserted tina, Utah will before long swing
in with the local option column.

Our grandmothers used to get lot of old nails
place them in vessel containing vinegar and
allow them to remain until the acetic acid in the
vinegar produced an iron solution This concoc-
ton was then taken by nearly every member of
the family during the Springand Fall and it rare
ly ever failed to strengthen and benefit the person
taking it. The old way was good but there is a
new way that is far better. Science has discover
ed a way to manufacture Iron so that it can be
dissolved in syrups and elIxirs and given in
definite doses. One OF the best and surest ways
to take Iron is in Rydale's Tonic This remedy
is a combination of Iron, Quinine and Strychnine
in an Orange Elixir and combined with other
ingredients that make 1t very valuable as blood
and nerve tonic. 1t is without an equal for old
people needing a stimulant and for weak and
puny children and sure cure for chills and
