POLICE FIND
STOLEN BRASS
Ellsworth Cocbrel Held for
the Theft.
FROM IMPLEMENT co.
Brass was Taken fcom Ma
chinery at Plant.
Man With Frogen Feet Taken to
Infirmsry-Flre Drills Conducted
at st. Marys.

Ellsworth Cochrel, aged sixteen, son
of Edward Cochrel, of Jefferson
street, was collared by the police
"wednesday and induced to confess
his guilt of stealing quantity Of
brass from the lmpement Manuiac-
turing plant.
Young Cochrel visited the lmple-
ment plant last Sunday morning and
secured a number of valuable brass
fixtures which had been removed
from the saw mill machinery He
carried the brass to the junk shop
of John Austin, located on Jefferson
street, where he attempted to dis
pose of It. Austin refused to purchase
on Sunday and the lad left the brass
declaring that he would call for his
money Monday morning,
Austin grew suspicious of the boy
and started an investigation. He
called several of the manufacturing
plants but was unable to learn where
the brass had been stolen. When
Young Cochrel called Monday morn
ing Austin refused to settle for the
brass and the lad carried 1t away.
The police were informed OF the
incident "wednesday and Immediately
began an investigation. Several Of
ficers visited Cochrel at his Place OF
employment at the silk mills and
frightened him into Tossing up He
told the police where to find the
brass and after a long hunt the Of
flcers finally found It in a corn field
east OF the sair grounds.
Owing to the fact that Cochrel Is
a minor, his case cannot be heard
in mayoris court. The lad was re-
Gently dismissed by Probate Judge
Foster from the Juvenile court, on
probation and it is probable that
this court VIII punish him for break
ing his parole,
The stolen brass was valued at
about s.. Cochrel told the police that
he stole the brass because he needed
the money. The lad has given the
police trouble at various times and
upon several occasions it has been
necessary to take his cases into the
juvenile court.
Fearing that Austin might get him
into trouble, Cochrel gave an assum-
ed name when he offered to sell the
brass, He told the junk dealer that
his name was Willie Cubbison but II
didn't take the police long to solve
this mystery as Cochrel had given
assumed names before.
The owners Of the Implement plGnt
have not determined as to what
course of action they win pursue in
the matter but it Is probable that the
lad will be given severe lecture
and dismissed without prosecution.

Thomas Mcfarland, and Chief OF
Police Levi Cornwell, a fire drill
was conducted at the Catholic schools
Thursday morning at Q o'clock.
The children displayed remarkable
training and in exactly forty seconds
after the gong sounded, the school
house was completely cleared. Nearly
four hundred pupils marched from
the building in forty seconds, thus
establishing a new record in Marion.
The drill came at an unexpected
time for the pupils and none knew
but there was a fire until they had
reached the ground. The drill will
be put on at various school build
ings within the next several DAYS
and the fire chief will insist that the
principals continue the practice.

SEES GREAT FUTURE FOR
WASHINGTON APPLE INDUSTRY

Seattle, April 2.-According to an
estimate made by w. N. Granger, gov
eminent irrigation expert, $50, DOC
acres of Washington lands will be un-
der irrigation systems before the close
Of the next decade. Mr. Granger is
the builder of the Sunnyside canal in
the Yakima basin, and at present is in
the government service as irrigation
manager of the Sunnyside system, now
government property.
81 believe that the Yakima basin
will continue to lead. the state in the
number of acres under DITCH" said Mr..
Granger while in Seattle. cat least
500, 900 acres in the valley will be un'
der water within ten years. Wenatchee
and the Okanogan districts will be the
next largest irrigation districts. It is
my belief that the increase in irriga.
ton of arid Washington lands will not
cease until from two to three millions
of acres are put under water.
"The Washington apple is going to
be the staple product of the state and
within short time. the value Of the
states apple crop will amount to three
times the wheat crop and considerably
more than the yearly gold output from
Alaska.
II began my work in building irri-
cation systems in 1889. At that time
and ever since, the question has been
raised as to whether apples would not
depreciate in value on account of the
vast acreage devoted to the trees. My
answer i; that markets are steadily in
creasing and prices are advancing.
There is not enough land in Washing
ton to grow apples to make the price
fall. The Washington apple is the best
grown, and in spite of the demand for
it, dealers are only beginning to real
ize it's worth. There is money in rails
ing apples and money will continue to
be made at the bsineuss for the next
two hundred years at the lowest esti-
mate

GREAT NORTHERN ROAD
STARTS WAR ON USURERS

Spokane, April 13.-The Great Nor
thern Railway Company has begun a
fight on salary loan sharks by refusing
to pay an assignment of wages made
by one of their employees to a loan
company here. The railroad, in an
swer to suit filed by the loan COM
pany, declares that the claim is based
on usury and demands a ruling from
the superior court. The railroad COM
pany takes the position that the very
nature of these loans is criminal, and
that it is its duty to protect it's en-
ployes even at its own expense in
court.

Fort De Fracne, April 10.-Clprlano
Castro. former president Of Venezuela,
was expelled tonight from the lsianu
of Martinique by the French govern.
ment. He protested to the last against
his emulsion, but his protests were IN
vain. He is now on board the french
line steamer Versailles, bound Tor ot.
Nazaire.
Official notice was served on Castr
this morning of the decision OF the
French government that he must leave
the island within nine hours from the
receipt of such notice, and that 1ne
commissary of police at Fort de Franco
had been charged with the execution
of the order.
The ex-president was furious, and
strove throughout the day to find some
excuse that would be satisfactory u
the colonial government, whereby lie
would not be compelled to obey the
order
After some delay a consultation OF
physicians was held, and it was declu'
ed at it's close that the life OF the ex-
president was not jeopardized by the
removal to the steamer and the return
voyage across the ocean
At 8 80 O'Clock force of gendarmes
went to Castro's room and he was
placed on a mattress. he refusing &c
put on his clothes, and was carried on
stretcher to the steamer, distance
of more than mile.
The Versailles left here at 9 O'CLOCK
and measures have been taken to KEEP
a careful watch on Castro during the
voyage. The colonial government in
tends to put down any sympathetic
demonstration that may be made or

Nervousness in Children.
A nervous child Is greatly to be
pltied, not so much because Of its pres
ent condition, although that Is distress
ing enough, as on account Of what the
future has in store for 1t. s..
A nervous child suffers, no doubt It
10 peevish, easily frightened, restless.
inattentive, incapable Of entering with
enjoyment into the sports of its com:
panions, soon tires Of It's games, and ID
often quarrelsome. But it Is in adult
life that the real suffering comes. In
effective work, sleepless nights, racking
headaches, the formation Of drug ha-
bits, alcoholism, early physical break
down and even insanity are the dam
gers to be dreaded for the future of
some fortunately not all-children
with weak and unstable nervous sys-
| TENS.
There Is always a cause for this
nervous condition in children, and the
cause can often be removed If it can be
discovered. Heredity doubtless plays
an important part in many cases, but
not so often as Is commonly believed,
and even when there is an inherited
faint, other factors which perpetuate
or increase the trouble almost always
exist, and can often be overcome. A
careful examination Of nervous child
will usually bring to light some physi-
cal defect, the curing Of which will
free the nervous system from strain.
These physical defects may be any
where in the body. but are usually
found in one or more Of three locations
the eyes, the throat and the bowels.
The eyes are most intimately con-
nected with the brain; indeed, they
may be said to be actually part OF the
brain, and a defect Of vision inf1icts
constant and innumerable blows on the
brain which irr1tate it, and this irri-
tation is transmitted to the entire
nervous system. The eyes Of nervous
child should be examined and specta-
cles worn II called for.
.'What a pity to put glasses on
child" Yes, but what greater pity
to let a nervous child grow up into
a nervous man.
A child who is a mouth-breather u
almost sure to have enlarged tonsils or
adenoids. This condition interferes
with natural breathing, which prevents
the proper aeration of the blood; and
impure blood cannot properly nourish
the nerve-cells. Further, enlarged tom
sils or adenoids are often slightly In
famed all the time, which causes the
absorption of septic products which
poison the whole system.
Finally, constipation is most Pc.
tent influence in the causation OF all
sorts OF nervous trouble. The treat
ment of this condition, not at all un-
common In children, In spite of their
activity, does not consist in an occa-
sional dose of castor-oil. The root OF
the evil must be sought, and 1t must
be corrected by careful regimen. and
the inculcating OF habits Of regular.

CAST ADRIFT AMONG NATIONS
Castro Driven Out by Agreement of Inter.
ested Governments

The governments of the United
States, Great Britain and France re-
Gently united to take concerted action
against ex-President Castro, who had
declared his intention of returning to
Venezuela with designs on the presi.
dency.
Castro left Venezuela last Novem-
Der. He appointed Juan Vincente Go.
mez, the first vice president, to take
his place as president, Within month
after the departure of Castro the Ven
ezuelan government was overturned,
Gomez becoming the new president.
Charges were ma7e against Castro and
he was indicted. He announced that
he would return to Venezuela, but the
Venezuelan government denied him
the right to land. Eventually, how.
ever, it withdrew this prohibition, &C
cording him permission to land, but al
his own peril.
Castro left Bordeaux March 26 Oh
the steamer Guadeloupe. His inten.
tion was to take up temporary resi-.
dence at Trinidad, but the British gov.
eminent refused to permit him to land
at Port of Spain, and he was forced to
leave the ship at Fort de France. It is
understood the United States govern.
ment communicated with the French
authorities relative to the deportation
of the ex- president and France in res.
ponse issued an order to the colonial
authorities that Castro be put aboard
the first steamer returning to France.
The position of Castro is greatly
complicated by his expulsion from
Martinique. Had he been permitted to
remain there, he might have made his
way to some other region not far from
Venezuela, where he could have put
his plans for a movement against the
present government into execution
He could have reached any of the
Central American republics or the
Danish West Indies, Hayti or Santc
Domingo, but his deportation to France
will put him in the predicament of a
"cast-adrift" among the European
countries.
