According to DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, not
fifteen per cent of the coffee sold in the
United States is Of the quality guaran-
teed.
Millions each year, says the Doctor, are
being stolen from the American people
by the adulterators and misbranders who
are selling their fraudulent products in
the guise of the genuine article. DR.,
Wiley sounds a note Of warning, and his
warnings SO far have, as is well known to
the country, been based upon sound rea-
soning. He tells the American housewife
that she alone is responsible if she buys
poor or fraudulent coffee from this time,
and states openly that not a fraction of
the ground roasted coffees sold as spe-
cial blends are worth the bother Of pre-
pairing. He says further. that the only
way in which pure coffee can be obtained
is by purchasing the original green"
Brazilian bean by the bag and roasting
and grinding it in the household.
One of the chief coffee frauds is in
the classification sof coffee" says DIR.
Wiley. Nearly all coffee in the United
States is sold as either Mocha or Java,
while as matter Of fact, fully eighty
five per cent. Of all American coffee inn
ports are from Brazil There is very
little real Mocha or Java brought here
now, for the Brazilian coffee has driven
1t from the market, not only because of
quality, but because it lies closer to hand.
The American people are using a billion
pounds of coffee year at present, and
the majority of it is the long berry San
tos which seems to have the demand be-
hind it."

Old Age Claims Pioneer Citizen of
Tennessee Flat

j. Z. I. McCrOskey, one of Whitman
county's oldest and most respected
pioneers, departed this life at bis home
stead on Tennessee fat at 5 O'Clock
Thursday evening OF last week. His
death was not unexpected. AS stated in
The Gazeste of the I'd his death was mo.
mentarily expected. He had been con-
fined to his bed for the mouth previous,
gradually growing weaker and weaker,
the end undoubtedly near. The period
was at hand wher he could wrap the
drapery OF his couch about him and lie
down to pleasant Dreams" Thus, in
deed, he passed away. The full tide Of
life was his, he left the shore on the re-
ceding tide to that bourne from whence
no traveller returns.
The funeral took place Sunday after
noon at O'Clock from Masonic hall in
Fraternity block, Colfax, the remains
having been brought from the homestead
on Tennessee fat for burial here. Rev.
Hereford OF Sunset officiated at the
services held in Fraternity block. The
funeral was under the direction OF the
Masonic lodge OF this city, deceased hav
ing been Mason for so years. At the
grave the beautiful and impressive cere-
mony OF the order was fully carried out.
Richard h. Smith, Charles L. Mackenzie,
+. W. Weinb erg, James A. Perkins.
William A. lnman and George II. New
man were pail bearers. Many beautiful
floral offerings we're IN evidence, and
special music was furnished by several
we'll known local musicians. The Masons
in line marched in the lead to the ceme-
terry, followed by the hearse, carriages
containing relatives of deceased. as we'll
as carriages conveying many friends of
the family. The body was placed in the
family plat iu Colfax cemetery beside the
grave OF his first wife.
j. P. I. McCroskey was born in Ten
nessee, and would have been 80 years
old had he lived until the Sth OF next
month. He came to Whitman county
81 years ago and took up land on
Tennessee fat, which has since been his
home, being the second settler in that
beautiful and rich section Of country.

COMMERCIAL CLUB ROOMS.
Will Be Kept Open Evenings for
Entertainment of Visitors.

The display section of the Colfax Com.
mercial Club rooms is fast filing up with
the products OF the farm and orchard,
and is we'll worth going to zee. A curl
osity in the shape of squash has a
neck as long and curves as beautifully az
the neck of a swan.
The Gazette has heretofore mentioned
the fact, but it will bear repetition, that
the club rooms the coming winter will be
heated and lighted evenings, where books,
papers and magazines will be kept for
the use of all who wish to assemble there.
No one cen say there is no place in Colfax
where an evening or leisure hour in the
afternoon cannot be proftably spent.

M. G. MULLIGAN RELEASED
Charged With Insanity Jury Brings
in Verdict of Sanity.

Nj. 6. Mulligan of Maiden, who was in
jail two weeks to answer to charge of
insanity, was acquitted before Judge
Pickrell in the superior court Monday
evening by the jury having the case in
hand. This makes the second time Null
gan has been arrested on the charge OF
insanity. Mulligan seems to be iniatu-
ated with a buxOm widow of Maiden
named Hunley. Her testimony on the
stand was conflicting. 1t was alleged
that Mulligan hovered about the premises
of Widow Hunley, making life burden
to her, besides writing divers and sundry
loving epistes, some being read to the
jury. Mulligan pinned some OF these on
the widows clothes line, thus saving
stamps while lowering in the shadow of
his animorita. Witnesses for the state
testified that they did not consider Mul-
ligan dangerous, although they thought
him little daft on women as well as
socialism. 1t might be added in this
connection that there are others.
The jury brought in verdict of sanity
on the second ballot. Mulligan ia a car.
penter by trade and about 40 years of
age. The Widow Hunley is probably a
little past 80. F. L. Stotler appeared
for the defense and handled the case like
veteran. Attorney Chemberlin prose-
cuted the case.

SAFE CRACKERS In COLFAx
Safe In Model Steam Laundry Is
Blown Asundsr.

Some time last Friday night safe
blowers entered the Model Steam laundry
and, with dynamite, blew open the safe,
getting in the neighborhood OF $25 in
silver, there being no gold in the safe at
the time. A check belonging to one OF
the employees of the establishment was
found in the rear OF the building, the
safe-crackers discarding it after the ex.
plosion. Papers and. books in the safe
were scattered and torn. A lot OF wet
clothes and heavy carpet was placed
over the safe to muffie the sound OF the
explosion, the office presenting a sorry
spectacle next morning when opened for
business.
Since the food OF last spring the dis
trict where the Model Steam laundry
stands is isolated, that part of Main
street being washed away, traffic thence
being reached by way OF Last street.
This is probably the reason why the
laundry was selected for the operations
of last Friday night.

Hay Station Enters Complaint.

The railroad commission has named
the 1st day OF October, at the Office of
the commission at Olympia, for hearing
of complaint demanding better station
facilities at Hay station, this county.
Hay contains but few houses, but it is
the shipping point for large and rich
tributary territory. The freight station
is located on top of an embankment,
which can only be reached from the rear,
and even then it is said that a person
standing up in wagon,box cannot see
the floor level of the freight house. AS
there is no elevator or derrick handy
shippers do not take kindly to the facili :
ties and have complained. An agent is
also asked for.

the north end to reach bedrock for the

WHITMAN COUNTY ELECTION RETURNS
Total Vote Polled by Each Candidate at
Primary Election Tuesday---Interest
Centered on Superior Judge.

The primary election Tuesday was an
overwhelming victory for Poindexter
and the insurgent movement. Poindex-
ter has over 10000 plurality in the
state. and will be the next United States
senator.
For congressman in the First district
it is close between Lavelle, insurgent,
and Humphrey, straight republican. At
this writing it is impossible to tell which
one has secured the prize.
In the Second district Warburton, in
surgent, is far in the lead o.e er McCredie,
standpatter.
This district easily elects LaFOllette,
insurgent his name evidently being q
slogan among the voters.
On the democratic ticket Cotterill of
Seattle wins over Byrne OF Spokane for
United States senator. The votes of
either seem inconsequential when com
pared with the total republican vote,
but at a primary election at this time it
is less significant of weakness than of
other things which may occur.
H. d. Merritt of Spokane is the demo-
cratic nominee from this congressional
district.
Below is given the totals in full in
Whitman county for candidates on both
tickets, showing who will be the candi-
dates on the respective tickets at the
November election.
The superior iudgeship lies between
Judge Pickrell and Thomas Neill, Pick
rell being first choice at the primaries,
Neill second.
