CASHMERE TO TRY
LOCAL OPTION

A. s. Page, formerly proprietor of
the Cashmere hotel, is in Cashmere
this week circulating a petition
among the voters to call for a spe-
cial local option election August IA,
to determine whether or not saloons
can do business in Cashmere, says
the Cashmere Record.
To get local option election it is
necessary to have the names Of at
least 80 per cent of the voters on
the petition who voted at the last
city election.
Up until noon yesterday Mr.. Page
had over so names on his petition,
more than enough to insure the cleo
ton, az only 80 petitioners are re-
CURED for this election.
Mr.. Page Is experiencing do diff
Guilty in getting signers to the petit
|tion and has met with few refusals.
In an interview he stated that many
lpeople we're signing the petition who
would not vote for license when it
came to election. Most everyone
believes in local option" said he,
"and an election Of this kind is the
only way to determine whether Cash.
mere shall have saloons or not.
II come to Cashmere at the urgent
request OF a number of your prom
inent citizens, who want me to take
charge OF the hotel again. The hotel
is not self-sustaining and If we are
not successful in the election the
building will have to be closed in
definitely. If we are successful and ]
can prevail upon the council to give
me an exclusive franchise, we will
builj large addition on the build
ling, add all the modern conveniences
and make it the best hotel in centra
washington"
| Mr.. Pages presence in Cashmere
is causing no end of excitement ani
Speculation among the "drys," and
lalready active steps are being takeI
to thwart his plans. Those opposing
saloons in Cashmere are in the ma
ljority and leaders in the anti-salool
crusade say that all of Mr.. Page
/ efforts will be futile. However, it i
probable that a close election will
result at the polls.

toned principally in connection
with the cure of eczema, the most
stubborn of skin diseases, Il must
be remembered that when used for
itch, hives, pimples, blotches, acne,
itching feet, scaly scalp, chatting of
infants and similar minor skin

pronounced, results being seen
after an overnight application. AS
only a small quantity of poslam ia

ANCIENT MUSKE7
FOUND IN BIG
TREE

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Oct. Is.
-Lumbermen found a revolution
airy musket embedded in a tree cut
down near Shohola, Pike county.
"A huge pine tree was cut down,
but the butt was defective and in
order to secure a sound end to
the log the diseased part was cut
off.
ling so it was found that
this section of the tree was hoI-
low and the aperture had grown
over so that it was not observable
to the wood chopper. In the hollow
was an old fashioned flintlock
musket, such as was in use by the
pioneers of this region.
The spot where the musket was
found is in the neighborhood of
the bloody battle which occurred
between the whites and Indians
on July %, 1879, in which the
former were defeated, and 1t is
possible that the gun may have
belonged to one of the wounded
stragglers of the defeated patri-
OTIS.

AFTER WOUND HEALS, AND is
NO LONGER PRODUCTIVE OF
MONEY FOR HER, SHE USES
I'VE IN NEW PLACE.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 15.-How wo-
man of monstrous cupidity and
cruelty traded on the sufferings
she inflicted ON a helpless little
boy is told by Charles Richards OF
No. 1915 st. Louis avenue in an eff
fort to find his parents and learn
his own origin.
Richards himself was the little
boy, and he exhibits great scars
that all his life will be mementoes
of the ingenious and pitiless cruel
ty which stepped one period of his
childhood in pain anG horror.
81 don't know my own age, but
I think I'm about 10 or TO-" Rich
ards said. 81 came to st. Louis
about 1895 or 1895. l don't know
where / was born.
II have vague recollection OF
going from Buffalo, N. Y, to Chi
cago as a very small boy. There
were dozens of other children on
the train, 1t seems to me, but ]
don't remember or didn't know al
the time why we were going. A
man had us in his charge.
"At the depot in Chicago l was
turned over to the woman who af
terward put I've in my arm and leg
She said that she's have to fix me
SO that people would feel sorry fol
me and give me money. She tolt
me that she was going to make 6
sore on my arm for that purpose
"Of course, raised big hollei
at that, but she got stick and
told me to shut up. She laid some
raw I've on my hand-here on the
right forearm where this big scar
is-and put a wet cloth ovei
the I've. 1t stayed on for about
half an hour, l guess, And may.
be it didn't hurt. It was just like
