A Big Trade.

Tishomingo. Miss. July 3rd, 1909
We have had consummated here
in the last few days the biggest
trade in the history of the town.
Mr.. d. W. Paden, merchant, has
traded his store, contents. dwell
ing and some other possessions TO
J. S. Nagle for his farm, stock,
crop, agricultural implements
in fact everything on the farm,
embracing saw mill and planer,
giving note for difference of
about five thousand dollars.
While we have lost one merchant
we have gained another who en-
tiers upon the business with the
enthusiasm and energy that al
ways marks his conduct in any
business. His jovial disposition,
accommodating and polite man
ner are such that we pre- dict for
hun 81 ccess. 1t will not take him
long to grasp the details OF the
mercantile business Mr. Pdden
will no doubt succeed well in
farming and stock raising, as that
will be more congenial occupa-
ton for him than merchandising.

CONVICTION
THE SUPREME COURT ON SAT-
URDAY RENDERS VERDICT IN
MAN WAS INTERESTED.

Ludwig Myrberg. the Cashmere
man convicted last sumner for rape,
will have to serve his time in the
penitentiary. The complaining wit
ness was year old Frieda Johnson,
of Cashmere. The Myrberg case Gre
atei a great deal of interest in this
city and a large number of Cashmere
people were present at the trial.
Grass & Porter were the attorneys
for Myrbers The man was coa-
victed and his attorneys took the case
to the supreme court. The defend
ant tried to set aside the conviction
on the ground that the information
was indefinite as to the time of the
crime, simply stating that the assault
took place on a day within three
years prior to the filing of the i0for-
nation. This is sufficient, the su-
preme court held in its decision ren-
dered last Saturday. Myrberg was
given an indefinite sentence in the
penitentiary of from one to fourteen
years.

SMALL BOY GOES
EAST ALONE
FOUR YEAR OLD HAROLD VEIN
TAGGED LIKE AN EXPRESS
THE CITY YESTERDAY.

Four year old Harold Vein passed
through Wenatchee yesterday on his
way from Prewitt's Landing to Spo-
kane He was travelling alone but
there was little danger of his being
side-tracked or way-laid for he was
tagged like an express package and
he could not have missed his des-
tination. He had with him his grip
and a big bag of candy. 1t was
thought that the young man was
highly able to take care of himself.
D. l.. Pratt. of the Chelan Butte Or
chards company, took an interest in
the young man and when the latter
ordered up liberal supply of sweet
meats he expected Pratt to show his
friendliness in a substantial way by
paying for them which the real es-
tate dealer did.

RATTLE Box
MAKES CURE
MAN WE'LL KNOWN IN THIS CITY
ENGAGED IN BONE MANIPULA-
OF CURE MADE.

The people of this city are more or
less familiar with the record of Ellis
Whitman, known as the Human Rat
tleboX" He was recently release
from the Walla Walla penitentiary,
where he served time for cashing a
bad check. Since leaving the penal
institution he went to Leavenworth
with the promise that in the future
he would lead a straightforward life.
The following from the Ellensburg
Daily Record gives an account of a
cure made by Whitman:
After working for several hours
yesterday afternoon and evening,
Ellis Whitman, known all over the
world as the Human RattleboX and
a specialist in bone manipulation,
succeeded in bringing one IF Dr. Was
sons hips, supposed 10 have been
permanently dislocated, back into
its socket. Whitman has been work
ing on the physician today ana has
succeeded in reducing the disloca ion
in the other hip, also supposed to
be permanently out of place, and
which is in a worse condition than
the other. He hopes to bring this
back into it's socket also.
''Dr. Wasson, who is a practicing
physician in the city, and county
coroner, had both of his hips dis!o-
Gated in railroad accident II years
ago. Since that time he has consult
ed many of the leading authorities
as to his injuries, but has never re-
ceivei any relief. He has been un-
able to walk straight since the acci-
dent. but hopes that Whitman wifi
be able to effect a cure.
Whitman is a MARVEL said DR..
Wasson this morning. He has al
ready put one of my hips back into
place, which is more than any one
else has ever done for me. AS to
whether or not it will remain in
place l do not want to be too opti-
mistic, but l sincerely hope that the
cure will be permanent.
Before Whitman began his work
yesterday, I was unable to straighten
out either of my legs. Today my
left leg is straight and I have enough
confidence in Whitman to believe
that he can put the other hip back in
its socket"

first of October there were only 4 ar
rests on the charge of drunkenness.
In October there were 2, in Novem-
Der, 5, and but one so far during the
month of December. This shows con-
clusively that local option in this city
is resulting in doing away with a
large portion of the drunkenness
which was so common in this city
prior to the election. For the past
year up until September II the po-
lice court had about one case per
day on drunkenness charges.
