A Valuable Hint on
House Cleaning

Real house cleaning cannot be accom-.
plished without proper disiniection, IS
soap and water do not kill disease germs
or insects.
1t is very easy to pour few drops
OF CN Disinfectant (non.poisonous) in
all cleaning water and to sprinkle i
everywhere about the house.
After sweeping go over everything
with a cloth-coyered broom dampened
with A CN solution.
By doing this you can secure healthy
home for your dear ones and keep sick.

Seattle. Wash. Aug. 12.-The
highest development OF The different
arts and crafts Of the Northwest IN

decoration OF the many varieties of
BASKETS and articles made from fibrea

Among the Indians of ThlIngt and

purposes among Che northern ndi-
ans, and specimens appearing in the
COLI cion have been made and used
for carrying and stOrng water and
various liquids, while another vario-

very close weave. and serve well the
purpose for which they are intended
Other specimens OF Il purely orna-
mental nature are as finely braided
as the ordinary panama hat, and
with their intricate and high cOlorcd
borders are decidedly handsome and
attractive.

In State of Virginia

Richmond. Va, Aug. 1.-THE re-

George w. Koiner in the lead over

OF Commissioner OF Agriculture and
Immigration by n majority OF 159
votes. Two precincts Ia Charles
City county, the vote % both OF
whdch amounts to only sixty. are yet
10 be heard from. The unofficial
returns up % this time show many
errors over the official returns thus
far received. Ko.ner's own figures,
secured from HIS own friends, give
him majority of 234. Koiner
claims also that there has been a
large error in the returns from Shen-
andoah county. Brown still claims
TO have won by a smaaI margin.
II Is a neck-and-neck race between
the -wo Inen- Both gre claiming
the victory. II looks rs If there Is
almost sure to be a contest which
ever way the count shows in the final
wind-up. NO threats OF this sort
nave yec been made, but the race Is
so close that 1T looks as II II must
come. Kolner has maintained all
along chat the bclatcd reports would
give him the victory, but even he
never anticipated vote as close as
this.
Mann leads In tho state by n ma
jority of 3,464, which insures hia
election, practically all the guberna-
tOridl returns being now In. The
election of Mann has long been con-
ceded. Al interest In the election
hinges on the Koiner- Brown contest,
which will evidently be exceedingly
close. Unofficial returas show Koi-
ner a winner by the narrow margin
enumerated The two precincts to
be heard from with a total vote OF
only 60. can not cnaHga the result,
unless errors can be specified il this
or other localities. This is the
