After the jolt given by the supreme
court to the jointests of Pfttsburg and
to the municipal authorities of that
town who continued to connive at a
violation of the prohibitory law after
they had been enjoined by the same
court. it will appear that most folks
should arrive att the conclusion that
prohibition is not to be trifled with in
Kansas these days.

and bonds when their prices were
much lower

X-RAY REVEALS
HIDDEN GOLD

Cincinnati, June 12.-"Doctor, do
you ever do anything for charity? l
am an awfully poor woman and have
heart trouble. Won't you please ex-
anime my heart with the X-rays free
of cost?''
This plea was made by a poorly
dressed woman to DR.. George Her.
mann yesterday.
Eyes, I will examine you," said the
doctor
But, doctor, don't want to take
Off my waist-you can make the ex-
animation without taking that off,
can't you?" asked the woman.
ut would be better to take it off,
but If you insist, leave it on" was
the reply.
AS the X-ray machine began to
crackle the physician gazed at her
heart. Happening to look a bit lower
he was surprised to discover two
$20-gold pieces hidden in a chamois
bag under the womans garment
How is my heart, doctor?"
"Rour heart is pretty bad" he re-
piled.
'Is there any hope for me?"
mot If you keep on this way"
he declared, as the third $40 gold
piece came into view. Take that
money out of your waist and pay me
So"
The woman nearly collapsed. She
took out the $50 in gold and from
another part of her raiment drew
out purse containing bills. Alto
gether she had about 500.

W. v. & N. HAULS FREIGHT.
Beginning This Week the Wenatchee
Lake Road Carried Freight.

With the completion of the track
of the Wenatchee Valley & Northern
railroad to the top of the divide be-
tween the Chumstick and Beaver
creek, which was practically accom-
plished last week, the road began re-
ceiving freight for delivery at any
point between this place and the end
of the track the first of the week. All
freight intended for delivery along
the line should be taken to the mill
yard. from which point train leaves
every morning for the end of the
track. Freight charges must be pre-
paid. Whether passengers will be
hauled at this time we have not been
advised
At this time the track laying gang
is at work on top of the divide. The
road is graded as far as Beaver
creek, but the track laying will be
slow from now on for a time as there
are several bridges and trestles to
build. Some Of them are quite long
and high.
The new engine which was re-
ceived here about six weeks ago, but
was injured in a smash up and sent
to the Hillyari shops for repair
came back in good shape on Tuesday
and was switched onto the company's
track Wednesday. The Great North

ley was using pending the repairs
made on their own engine, smashed

Ruins of Church of Landin in Mexico

the church with colony of SpaniardS
and Indians. They went through a
period of great privation on account
of crop failures and the losses of
their live stock by an epidemic of dis
ease. A store of food supplies was
sent to their relief from the City of
Mexico, and the priest received per-
mission direct from the king of Spain
to establish a crude mint for coming
copper money for the relief of the
financial condition of the colony.
These coins were cut in triangular
shape and were issued to the Indians
and members of the colony with the
promise that they would be redeemed,
coin for coin, by the government when
the settlement became prosperous.
These copper pieces were perhaps
the first clearinghouse certificates
ever issued.
The Indians. however, brought the
financial relief scheme to a sudden
end by counterfeitfng great numbers
of the copper pieces, which they pre-
scented for redemption. The priest
became alarmed at the unlawful in
1ation of his circulating medium and
fed from the country to avoid posi-
BILE punishment at the hands of the
government.
In after years the parish of this an
cient church established copper
smelter and engaged in mining and
smelling copper ore on a large scale.
The Stag pile of this ancient smelter
was found not far from the church a
few years ago and the smelter at
Saltillo bought and treated the Stag
at a good profit.
An American contractor who built
a railroad near the church made the
owner of the property an offer OF
81 900 for the cornerstone in the
building. 1t is said to contain ancient
relics of almost priceless value. The
| offer was refused. At present the in
terror of this church is used as a
| corral for goats.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness. it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

Farmers Losing Their Cattle.

People in the eastern part Of the
state are losing their cattle by diff
ferent diseases. In Franklin county
by some mysterious cause which Is
thought to be poisonous weeds in the
pastures cattle are dying. About one
dozen have died from poison in the
past week. Some think the poison is
in the seed of the foxtail which was
found to be fatal to horses in the
weste-n part of the state some years
ago. The animals when stricken grow
delirious and die in a short time.
among the cattle on the farm of Frank
Windish in the eastern part of Miami
county, has killed seven cattle for Mr..
Winish alone. ]. H Mercer of the
State Veterinary department was in
Paola and made an examination of the
Texas fever in this county and says
he does not believe the disease will
spread among other herds if precau-
ton is taken. He advised the dipping
of cattle in crude oil. In Linn county
the cattle are dying from screw
worms This screw worm is a small
insect which eats into the flesh #
an animal where-the skin has been
broken. Many cattle in Linn county
have died from screw worms. In one
instance it has been known that these
! same screw worms have killed a
human being.
