IS FINALLY SETTLED

BY rendering his decision yesterday
In favor of the defendant, finding him
not guilty of the charge OF grand lar
ceny. Justice of the Peace Small
finally settled the case of the state
against Napoleon Claude, Jr. a we'll
known resident of the Frenchtown
valley. who was accused of killing a
steer belonging TO Felix Touchette. The
case was tried number of weeks ago.
and the defendant claimed that he had
a steer killed in herd which he was
trying to corral, but the man who did
the shooting shot the wrong animal.
Both parties hail from Huson and the
case attracted considerable attention
among the residents of that locality.
In accordance with the decision of
Justice Small, the case against
Claude is dismissed and his bonds were

COUGH WEATHER

When the weather is cold and
stormy. most of us are more or
less subject tn the unpleasant
experience of colds, with the con-
sequent wearing strain of the
cough and the danger of more
serious trouble apt to follow
neglect.
People who practice deep
breathing and who use ordinary
care to avoid sudden changes of
temperature, dampness and ex-
posure are less liable to take
cold than those of less methodical
habits At the first sign Of a
cold steps should be taken to
check it. A simple. inexpensive
and effective remeiy IL made by
mixing two ounces Of glycerine.
o half ounce of Virgin OIL of
Pine compound pure and eight
ounces of pure whisky. Ii is
claimed by the Leach Chemical
Co. of Cincinnati, who prepare
the genuine Virgin sOil of Pine
compound pure for dispensing
through druggists, that tsa-
spoonful of this mixture four
times day will break up a cold
in twentyfour hours and cure
any cough that is durable.

1t was just about o'clock last night
when Tylar Thompson met Charlie
Dorman and asked him
DORMAN If he was busy. That
CHAINED was n funny query TO
make to a man who is
starting new grocery store, and Dor
man replied that he was-emphatically
busy. Thompson wanted to see h IN
at the old store just a minute, anyway;
he wouldn't detain him long. So Dor
man went. When he entered the place
that had been his business home for
% years or more. he found all the
boys there and IL struck him as little
strange that they were not more busiiy
engaged: when he was there he had
to work But he did rot suspect what
was going On until TyIar stopped In
front of the boys and turned upon his
victim. Tylar has said good many
things In his life and he has said them
well. but he never said anything more
to the paint than he did then and there,
when he told Dorman how mucn the
boys thought Of him and how sorry
they Were that he was going to leave
them and how much they wanted him
To have something that would always
remind him that they were thinking of
him. Then there was produced a neat
little package and the result of ii al
is that Dorman is wearing this morn
ing handsome double gold watch
chain. from which is suspended a locket
bearing the inscription: From the NJ
NJ. Co. Grocery Boys, Nov. 30, 1909"
on the other side are the initials SO.
r. D." woven into a monogram. As
for Dorman. he just broke down: he
would have been chump II he hadn't:
and he Is no chump. He tried to say
something, but 1t was no go: however,
the boys knew what he wanted to say,
and that made IL all right. IL was a
pretty incident: all business relations
are not cold -blooded.

ALFALFA GOOD EATING
SAY SOME EXPERIMENTERS

Portland, Or, May 17-Omaha goes
the vegetable food faddist one better
and furnishes proof that a man can
live on hay and enjoy the best of
health, says a dispatch to the Ore
gonian.
There are college men in town to
prove the assertion. At Creighton uni
versity there are clubs galore, and
among them is one known as the cal
falfa Hay" club, with % members, and
one of the purposes of the organization
is to demonstrate the very important
fact that alfalfa is a human food pro-
duct as we'll as food for animals. The
young men are working in the interest
OF science and at the same time they
are daily furnishing evidence that grass
is very palatable when it is properly
treated.
The alfalfa leaves, with a small Dor.
ton OF the upper parts of the stalks.
are ground together, making a meal as
fine as flour, from which can be made
mauy palatable dishes.

MAPLEINE CASE Is
WON BY LOCAL FIRM

The department of agriculture and
board of food and drug inspection has
adjusted the governments suit against
the Or ascent Manufacturing Company,
of Seattle, and permission to use the
trademark name, "Mapleine," has
been granted with the MODIFICATION of
the original that the words Limitation
maple flavor" be placed on all the
labels, cartons and packing cases used
by the company. This adjustment re-
gains for the Crescent Manufacturing
Company all the points lost by the ad-
verse decision in federal court in Chi
cago.
This adjustment means that the sale
of Mapleine, (which has grown to large
proportions, will not be lost to Seattle
as the manufacturing location, and it
regains about 1915, 900 worth of the
product that had been declared confs-
Gated. J. W. Kahle, president of the
company, left Chicago Immediately
after the trial and laid his case before
Il 9 department of agriculture before
he exercised his right of appeal, and
the adjustment is considered a victory.

Sixty THOUSAND TREES
FOR ELIHU ROOTS ESTATE

An interesting experiment in tree
planting is now under way on the es-
tate of Senator Elihu Root at Clinton,
N. Y, under the direct supervision of
the government forestry service. APP
proximately 60, 600 young trees, vary
ing in height from Z to IA inches,
are being set out in rows six feet
apart.
The trees include Is, 400 white pine,
10, ZOO Norway spruce, which were
shipped from Germany; 5000 red
pine, 5000 red oak, 81, 90 black locust,
5000 chestnut and 5000 Eastwood
The spruce will be mixed with alter
nate rows and in four and a half to
five acre tracts with locust, red oak,
pine and Eastwood. The white pine
will be mixed with locust, red oak and
red pine. Chestnut and spruce will
also be planted together, using two rows
of chestnut to each row of spruce.
The forest trees which are being
planted most in New York state are
white pine, Norway spruce and white
ash, but as several other varieties will
undoubtedly do we'll in this section il
is reasonable to suppose that the list
OF varieties chosen by Senator Root
for his present experiment will be ex-
tended next spr ing.

RECEIVER IS ASKED FOR
UNITED STATES EXPRESS

New York, May 18.-The fact that
John L. Dudley, of this city, has ap-
pealed to the court for appointment Of
a receiver and for the dissolution of the
UnitedStares Express Company, became
known yesterday when an argument
on the APPLICATION was made in court.
The defendant officials, it is asserted.
have squandered the assets of the COM
pany, paid dividends imperiling the
company's capital, voted themselves
extravaganza salaries, used the funds
for speculative purposes and surren-
dered large amounts Of business I'M
necessarily to rivals. No meeting of
stockholders for the election Of officers.
It is alleged, has been held in fnrty-six
years and vacancies in the directorate

tors. "a self-perpetuating body" the

SPOKANE ORDER POSTPONED
AS TO THE HARTMAN LINES

Washington, May ia supple
mental order has been issued by the in
tersttate commerce commission in the
Spokane case, by which the commits
sion's order is postponed temporarily
as to the Chicago & Northwestern rail
way, the Union Pacific and Oregon
Short Line and the Oregon Railway
& Navigation Company.
It is not unlikely that the order in
the Spokane case may be abrogated, SO
far as the lines mentioned are con
cerned, as the plea has been made in
their behalf that the distance between
them from Chicago to Spokane is
about 400 miles greater than it is by
the Northern Pacific and Great North
ern. Therefore, it would be a hand
leap upon them to compel them to haul
freight from Chicago to Spokane at
the same rates as are given by the
Northern Pacicfi.

INSURGENTS WORRYING
REGULARS IN SENATE

Washington, May 17.-Begining to-
day the daily sitings of the senate will
commence at 10 o'clock in the morn
ing. The hour has been advanced in
the hope of expediting final action on
the tariff bill by disposing more rapid
ly of the long speeches as we'll as the
detailed discussion of the various dis
puted schedules.
The consideration of the Measure has
developed great opposition on the part
of more Republican senators than was
expected, and the supporters of the bill
feel that every possible effort must be
made to hurry the bill to a vote.
So far they have received 10 encour-
agement from the insurgents" and
the Republican leaders are quite in the
dark as to when the end may be
reached. They are finding less diff
Guilty in dealing with the Democrats
than with the independent Republicans
and the opinion is expressed that but
for this a~ntagonism a day might soon
be set which would decide the fate of
the measure.
The discussion will deal with the
various paragraphs passed over, but
there will be a few speeches on the
general tariff question. Senator Bailey
will continue to press his demand for
a vote on the income tax as a feature
of the tariff bill, but it is an open Sc
cret that he is not now nearly so conf
dent of success as he was in the begin
ing of the agitation The general opin-
ion among the supporters of the in
come tax policy is that the cause in the
senate has been weakened materially
by the decision of the president not to
press for the tax. In the house the
Philippine and Porto Rican bills are
under consideration with prospects of
early disposal.

J, H. Schively will attempt to evade

shifting the entire responsibility upon

who has resigned upon promise of i'm
munity from prosecution.
Schively has gone to Spokane in re-
sponse to a summons from his attor.

charges Of perjury and forgery, for
which he was indicted by the grand

steps we do not car to make public

SCHIVELY REFUSES
TO TESTIFY FURTHER

Olympia. May 13.-Insurance~ Com
missioner ]. H. Schively, by his attor-
ney, George Israel, has refused to tes-
tify before the legislative committee
on the ground that it might tend to in
criminate him. The committee then
announced that no more witnesses
would be called on the insurance de-
partment investigation, and that after
writing some documentary evidence
into the record the Investigation of
that department would be considered
closed. Chairman Allen said:
"The committee will now check up
the Office of the state treasurer, as re-
quested by Treasurer John G. Lewis,
and at the conclusion of that examina-
tion will possibly hold another open
session hat week, if anything develops
that we want to take up in open ses-
sion.

Shifts Responsibility

Asked if it was his intention to shift
all blame for the collection of fiat rate
fees and alleged Irregularities upon
former Secretary Nichols, Israel stated
that the advice of counsel to MI.
Scbivelv in reagrd to criminal proceed
ings was that there was no statutory
offense in the charging of fiat rates
for examination of insurance compa-
MES, in lieu, of following the exact
statute providing for the collection
from companies of the actual cost of
examination.
"We contend" said Attorney Israel,
"that if there is a criminal offense,
Mr.. Schively's only connection with
the violation of the statute was that Of
an employee in the Office of the secre-
tary of state, ex-officio insurance COM
missioner, performing the duties and
carrying out the policies of his chief.
eff there is any criminalr esponsi-
bility, it rests upon the secretary of
state and not upon Mr.. Schively. The
deprecated policies of the secretary of
state were abandoned when Schively
took the insurance department follow
ing the election. The past policy was
abrogated."

MORE TINE IS GIVEN IN
SPOKANE RATE CASE

Washington, May 17.-As a result of
several conferences, the interstate COM
merce commission has announced a
postponement of the time for the tax
ing effect of it's decision in the Spokane
rate cases from June 1 to July 1. A
further hearing of the case will be had
on June 8.
The commission recently had post
poned until June 1 the time when the
new rates ordered by it should 60 into
effect, but as a result of conferences
within the last few days with the rep
r~esentative of the Hill and Hartman
lines it was decided to further postpone
the operation of the order until July 1.
The railroads involved have been noti-
fed of the decision and also of the as
signment of the case for hearing on
June g.
The railroads will, on July 1, put
into effect, in accordance with the de-
cision of the commission, what are
known as ''class" rates from Pacific
coast points to Spokane, which are
16 % per cent lower than the present
rates. They also will put into effect at
that time commodity rates from the
East to Spokane which are much lower
than the present rates, but not as low
in proportion as those ordered by the
commission.
Commissioner Prouty stated that the
commission had declined to express an
opinion either way as to the reasona-
blenesss of the reduction in the rates
from the Pacific coast and in the COM
modify rates from the East to Spokane,
that question having been deferred for
future consideration.
The purpose of the proposed hearing
is to allow any possible objection that
may be made to the filing Of the rates
on ''short time notice."
