DR.. Hoxsey was called to Peshastin
one day this week to attend J. L. Arbo-
CAST, who was suffering from nitric acid
poisoning. He was handling dynamite
and eating an apple at the same time
and got some of the stuff in his sys-
TEN. It requires only an infnitesimally
small portion to affect the human sys-
TEN. Nitric acid is one of the most
powerful heart stimulants known to the
medical profession. Mr.. Arbogast did
not know what was the matter, but
quickly felt a serious inconvenience
and sent for the doctor. He was re-
lieved by the administration Of an anti
dote and is now out OF danger.

On Monday and Tuesday the wind
blew some. Rather too much to suit
people so entirely unaccustomed to
wind as are the people of Leavenworth.
Il is so unusual for the wind to blow
here that people were shocked. Still
il serves to remind US that we are Pc
culiarly favored, in that we get only at
long intervals what those in less
favored localities must put up with
every week. For six weeks we have
had the most delightful weather
weather at which one with a sound
liver would not complain.

Pasco-In every business house In

The Legislative investigating commit

The Legislative investigating commit
tee appointed to investigate certain
state officers had its first sitting in
Olympia on Wednesday of this week.
The meagre sum Of IS, 900 appropriated
to pay the expenses Of the investigation
will be exhaused before the investiga-
ton gets fairly started. At least that
is the way matters look just now.
Somebody is very much interested in
smothering this investigation, which
amounts to an admission that there has
been wrong doing.

The next thing her parents

when message was received

stranded.
The mischance was a most un-

just contrived to surmount at such
cost to herself, but for which she
could have been safe at home long

ity. 1t was half-past ten by the
clock before her, too late to tele'
graph.
She bit her lip and got out, since
she had no option but to attempt
repair, drawing off her gauntlets
raising her veil and turning down
her coat collar with businesslike
haste. The night was dark. She
took one of the lamps from its
bracket, and, lifting the bonnet
made careful search for the cause
of catastrophe. In that she dis

Surely the occupants of any other
car would not pass without Offering
assistance, she thought.
In her urgent need she even
stepped out into the roadway,
holding her lamp up lest they
should speed by unseeing. But at
that moment the echo of mans
voice, singing jovially, came down
the wind to her, and, hearing it,
her courage ebbed to a still lower
mark. She drew back hurriedly
and hid herself behind her own
tonneau as best she could, stopping
over the rear tire there. The dread
that some returning roysterer from
Rockaway or Long Bleach might
only prove an added complication
forced her to the conclusion that
she must reply upon her own re-
sources and sort things out unaid-
