Italian Strangely Shot.

North Yakima, Wash.-Bleeding
profusely from a bullet wound in his
shoulder, an unknown Italian of this
city, accompanied by several COM
panions, visited the office Of local
physician at late hour Saturday
night and asked for medical atten-
tion. They refused to give their
names and explained the wound by
saying they had been victims Of a
holdup, warning the doctor at the
same time not to report the matter to
tn police for fear assailants would do
further harm to him or them.
They disappeared after leaving the
office. Shortly before the time Of
the Italians appearance at the phy-
sician's office, shot was heard fired
in the south. a section of the restrict
ed district, but inquiry by the police
failed to reveal the identity of the
wounded mans assailant. The Ital-
ians' reticence abour the affair have
led the police to believe that serious
trouble Ii brewing among the Italians

Chronic ULCERS
INDICATE BAD BLOOD

Where the blood is pure any wound
or laceration of the flesh heals "by
frst intention" This is true because
nature has provided a constituent to
the circulation known as Plasma,
which joins ard EoiGs the place to-
gether until the fbres and tissues caii
permanently knit and interweave.
Whenever the ulcer becomes chronic
it is because this healing quality of
the blood has been impaired by some
impurity in the circulation, and the
place remains open, injecting all sur
rounding flesh, until the character OF
the circulation is changed. No sore
can heal where the blood is bad; be-
cause the morbid impurities on which
it thrives are constantly deposited
into it by the burdened circulation
Cleanse the blood and the sore will
heal of its own accord, because then
its very source and foundation will
have been destroyed. S. S. S. cures
Chronic Ulcers of every kind for the
one great reason that it thoroughly
purifies the blood. It goes into the

Birds are Flying South.
nautpn Wash Mvria Il

Dayton, WaSh.-MyriadS OF sum-
mer birds flew over southeastern
Washington Saturday in a southerly
direction. Occasionally flock
would light in some inviting tree top
and linger there for a few minutes or
descend to some drinking place, but
otherwise the movement southwark
was uninterrupted.
According to old settlers here this
is a certain indication that colder
weather is not far off. Usually these
small birds precede the harder geese
and ducks a few weeks, the latter re-
naming north until shortly before
the first snowfall. A coid, raw wind
from the west Is following in the
wake OF the feathered harbingers. 1t
is believed by local weather prophets
that winter will come unusually early
this year.

Mourn Lew Tong
Funeral Of Celestial Falls Short of
Elaborate Plans-Spirits Are
/Baffled.

Because there. was no crowd" as
Quong Chong, king Of the Omaha Chinese,
explained II, the funeral services of Lew
Tong, q retired Chinese merchant who
died Tuesday at his home, 1ls North
Twelfth street, were not as imposing as
had been first planned.
Accordingly, the brass band ana the
many carriages which were to have made
the obseQuies the most elaborate of any
ever held in the city, were dispensed with,
there being only six Chinese mourners
present.
There are about sixty Cinnamon in
Omaha" said Quong Chong. but most of
them had to attend to their businesses
and could not come to the funeral of Lew
Tong. Brass band and carriages no good
then"
The only part Of the funeral services
carried out as planned, therefore, was
the scattering OF perforated bits Of paper
along the route OF the funeral procession,
which extended from the Bradley & Dor
rance undertaking parlors, 1923 Cunning
street, to the Union station, where the
body OF Lew Tong was placed on board
a train for a trip to Hong Kong for
burial. The evil spirits which are sup
posed to have haunted the deceased Chi
ness merchant during life are required, in
accordance with the Confucian religion, TO
make their trip back to China by way of
the holes in the bits Of paper, thus being
so delayed in their journey that the body
OF the deceased vial have long been In
his native country by the time they
arrive. In this way the soul Of the China
man is saved, the evil spirits arriving too
late to again find their native haunt
