Miss Thorp, believing her former

Leaders in Late BOer War Now Work.
ing as Emmissaries of Great
Alliance,

LONDON, Jan. 30.--The British
domains of South Africa. which so re-
Gently were the scene of war between
the English and the Dutch, will now
form the stage of movement for uni
ty which promises to be one of the
most remarkable EXAMINATIONS in his
tory, and to add to the British empire
a great federation ranking almost
with Australia and Canada in i'm
portance.
Representatives Of four colonies
have been in conference for several
weeks on the plan of union. Cecil
Rhodes probably had little thought
before he died that within 10 years
after the destruction of Dutch indie
pendence in Africa, company dom
mated by such hostile spirits as DR..
Pamieson, who led the raid which
brought on the war; President Stein
of the Orange Free State, and two
great Boer generals. Botha and De-
w.t., would be comforting amicahly
for the purpose of welding the Dutch
and Uitlanders into a semi-independ-
ent nation under the British flag.
More noteworthy still seems the
fact that British progress has been
marked by harmony and it is likely
to be concluded with success. An
other year will elapse before the
South African union can become q
fact.
After the convention has agreed
on the bill first presented by the del
egates from the Transvaal, the plan
must be submitted TO the parliaments
of the four states and then will he
put to the test Of a popular vote.
Probably the convention will reas-
semble then to consider the amend
ments. After that ratifying act by
parliament and the signature of the
king will be necessary to bring the
new government into being.

INDIANS CAN
NOW BUY BOOZE
H0STATeORFe FEDERAL LAW PREVENT
Decision of Courts Places Them on
Same Plane as White Men
Special Officers Not Sorry.

In deciding that the sale of liquor
to Indians was not governed by any
state statute, Judge Preble yesterday
removed the last straw in the way of
open liquor traffic with the red man.
Last September Judge Whitson of the
United States district court for the
eastern district of Washington de-
cided that there was no federal stat
ute which obtained in cases of this
kind and the removal of state juris-
diction now makes it necessary for
the state legislature to pass such a
law or let the Indian buy firewater
under exactly the same conditions as
white men.
Far Reaching Decision.
That this is one of the most i'm
portant decisions that has been made
in this court in some time is the con-
census of opinion. 1t has been gen
orally believed that both federal and
state authorities had jurisdiction. but
according to the ruling of Judge
Preble and Judge Whitson, neither
authorities have and some lively
times with the Siwashes are antici-
pated before a law is passed fixing
the penalty Tor that OHenSe.
Special Officers Glad.
Sam Cone, the special United
States officer who was sent here from
Spokane a few weeks ago in response
to letters from residents of this sec
ton sent to the government at Wash
ington protesting against the whole
sale bootlegging that has been going
on, stated to repres entative of the
Herald last evening that the two de-
cisions referred to eliminate the spe-
cial officer from the situation and
that he was glad of it, as far as he
was personally concerned.
In this connection he referred to
the trouble that special officer al
ways experiences in attempting to Sc
cure convicting evidence under state
laws He said that he hated this sort
of work and that he much preferred
to work on federal cases, where con-
victions are surer and where it is pos
sible to get action commensurate with
the gravity of the offenSe.
Mr.. Cone has seen some real SER
vice as special officer of the United
States government, is a native of In
dian territory. and a man who has a
reputation of being able to take care
of himself under all circumstances
and he looks the part. His head
quarters are now in Spokane.

When 1t Is Dyspepsia,
You'll Know 1t
That's different from Indigestion You may experience thu
first symptoms of Indigestion without knowing what the
really portend kodol, however prevents Dyspepsia b.
providing for complete digestion.

Where there is complete and perfect digestion
there is, OF course. room for dyspepsia. And
It is for various reasons more satisfactory to pre-
vent dyspepsia than to attempt to cure it. Fact
is, you must depend upon Nature for cure,
and Kodol assists Nature.
Nature will a sick stomach quicker than
any medicine in the world--if you give Nature
chance. But Nature cannot cure the stomach
while the stomach is oyerworked That is inn
possible
In order to be cured the stomach must rest.
That is the point And that is what Kodol is for
to rest the stomach. II dgests every particle
of food for the stomach. SO that the stomach has
nothing to do but get well Then it gets well.
You would be surprised if you knew how many
persons have indigestion And, of course, most
of them have dyspepsia. ultimately-if they neg
lect the indigestion Then Nature is in urgent
need of assistance And nervous dyspepsia is a
terrible ching to those afflicted with it.
kodol supplies this assistance just the same
in the early stages of indigestion But more time
and more rest required for Nature to effect n

indication of healthy stomach. Neither are
sound muscles any safeguard against an unhealthy

$50 FINES FOR STEALING COAL
One Bares Life in Plea for Mercy
Justice Hunt Tacks on $50
Fine.

John Hays and James Scanlon, who
claim their place of residence as Top
penish, were fined $50 and costs Fri
day evening by Justice of the Peace
Hunt. upon their pleading guilty to
the charge of stealing coal from the
Northern Pacific cars at Toppenish.
The arrests were made by Northern
Pacific Detectives Loker and Page
and Deputy Sheriff Grayson. The
value of the coal as stated in the CON-
plant was placed at $3.50 for Hays
and $1.vJ for Scanlon
Hays barred a page of his past in
a plea for mercy. he said he was a
weary, wayworn wanderer, with no
money and less friends. He was I'M
able to obtain work and was troubled
with the same affection as, job.
Boils, lack of work and hunger had
driven him to steal He said he new
or before faced court, except for
being drunk His hard luck tale was
cut short by Judge Hunt imposing
the fine. Scanlon, young man who
has fallen in among thieves. had no
remarks to make. and was fined.
Neither Hays nor Scanlon were able
to pay the fines and were remanded
to the custody of the sheriff. They
will serve 20 days for their misdeeds.
Northern Pacific detectives state
that the arrest and sentence of Hays
is an important capture. They say
that for months he has been making
a living by stealing and selling coal,
and has always eluded the officers.
He is known to the police as the
Coal King" He conducted his
thieving in an open manner, using a
team and wagon to haul off the plum
der. According to the police Topper
fish is a hot bed of coal thieves and
the Northern .acifc officials are
waging a vigorous war against the
organized gangs. Two of the gangs
have been broken up within the past
days and given sentences in the
county jail. These other men. charg-
ed with the same offensc. will stand
trial.

WILL TEACH COOKING NEXT

Domestic science will become one
of the regular studies of the North
Yakima high school during the next
term. according to plans that are be-
ing made by the board of school d.
rectors and school officials. Ar
rangement was made in the building
OF the high school for this depart
ment, room at the northwest corner
being reserved for this branch.
While no definite plans have been
made, Supt. Reed and Principal Be
yer say that the work will be the next
feature of school work started, and
that there are promises of large inter-
est in the instruction
The manual training work has been
eminently satisfactory, especially in
the instruction of the boys, and the
new division will care for the inter
ests of the girls in the building.

chief civil engineer for the North
Coast, said to a Herald representa-
tive Saturday evening If necessary
the railroad would cross the canal on
bridges for the time being. The sum
and substance of Pitman's remarks
was that the siphons would be built
and that the road would not be de-
layed by the canal.
Ties and Rails Arriving.
The progress of the construction
work of the railroad in this part of
the state, Mr.. Pitman said, was sat-
isfactory. The railroad will cross
the Columbia river on a bridge below
the mouth of the Snake river and the
w. & c. r. railroad has under con-
struction a spur track to this point
for the purpose of hauling bridge
material. The first track laying will
probably take place on the east bank
of the Columbia river near this
bridge. and ties have already been
ordered.
There is great activity in all of
the construction camps around Kiona.
the latest addition to the forces there
being a crew of surveyors engaged
in laying out the route of the main
line of the Spokane division, which
runs in a generally northeastern di-
rection from Kiona and across the
Columbia half way between Keune-
wick and White Bluffs.
Mr.. Pitmau said he had no infor-
nation at this time as to when con-
struction in or near North Yakima
will begin.
Numerous Branches.
The branches of the North Coast
in the eastern part of the state are
numerous. There is work now in
progress on the branch from Tekoa
to Spokane and on the main line of
the Spokane division near Spokane,
as we'll as the operations near Kiona.
There is definite information that
the North Coast will operate a north
and south line from Walla Walla to
Davenport and this line will cross
the o. r. e ~ main line, the North
Banks Riparia line, the .. r. e y.
Cornell branch. the North Bank Spo-
kane line. the Milwaukee, the North
ern Pacific. the Great Northern and
touch the Washington Central at
Davenport.
Adams County Branch.
Another branch of this road known
as the Adams county branch runs
west through Ritzville from the
North Coast Spokane division to Mo-
SEES lake. There will he still another
line known as the Priest Rapids
branch from Kiona up the Columbia

east bank until it crosses the Mil
waukee at Beverly. There is a pos
sibilitv that later this line may be
extended northeast to Moses lake
which will make circuit by joining
the Moses lake terminal OF the Ad-
ans county branch.

they believe qualified for the posi-

lished as planned. there Is little doubt
that May will have the honor Of be-
ing the first weather man" for

Plans are under way to have the
station located on the top of the Mil

station will probably be on the roof
OF the new federal building to be
erected at Third and Chestnut streets.

Wants Statewide Prohibition for
kentucky.

II. W. Davis, Chairman of
the Prohibition State Executive
Committee, has issued call to
the temperance people of Ken
tncky urging them to use all their
efforts in behalf of State wide
prohibition. The call is as fol-
l6ws:
"We invite all temperance
people, regardless of organiza-
ton, church or party with which
they are affiliated, to join with
us in one united effort to secure
constitutional prohibition and
settle the question so it will stay
settled.
"The first step is to deluge the
Legislature with petitions so they
will not dare TO refuse to submit
the question for a constitutional
amendment. Pastors of church
es are respectfully urged to pre-
sent this matter to their congre-
cations. They, and all others
who will aid in securing sigma
lures will be supplied with petit
ton blanks by addressing State

The New Country Woman.

To many people it will be sur
prislng news to hear that there re-
ally is "new woman" in the coun-
try, as well as in cities. For a num-
Der of years we have been reading
of the exploits of the new woman
in town, but nothing about her
country sister. Actually, there are
men and women, people who call
themselves intelligent, who know
more about Europe than they do
of the real conditions of the rural
residents of their own country
The average town dweller looks
upon life in the country as one wild
waste without fertile spot to Ie-
deem it Men and women willing
ly starve in crowded tenements
rather than endure the "terribie
loneliness" and "drudgery" of the
country, and the sympathy OF ev-
cry woman who has never lived in
the country goes out to her down
trodden country sister.
Conditions have changed WOO
derfully during the last twenty,
years everywhere, but particularly
ia the country. Machinery has
lightened labor, telephones have
placed the country In touch with
the cities, rural free delivery has
brought the news and happenings
of the hour to the little box at the
gate of the farmer daily, fine pixies
have made it possible to get about
from place to place with ease and
rapidity, and the stem and electric
cars are penetrating to the remote
corners of the United States with as
tonishing speed. The March New
