a measure of relief to the coun-
try. Hypocrites! | can hardly
find words to express my repro
baton of their conduct. And I
believe the New England manu-
facturers, who were so we'll
taken care of by the Payne
Aldrich law, will heartily agree
with me.
1T remains for me to point
out that the revision measures
were compromises between
avowed freetraders and avowed
protectionists; measures conceiv-
ed in an unnatural alliance;
measures the product OF log roll
ing for the purpose of obtaining
their passage. Horrible!
"0f course there will be i'll
natured persons who will insist
that with a Democratic House
and a Republican Senate only
compromise measures Of that
sort could possibly pass. We will
not discuss that side of the
question. | am going TO urge
revision based on the tariff COM
missions report at the next ses-
sion. New England manufac-
turers need not be afraid, how
ever. II must be scientific re-
vision. And heaven knows
whether such revision can get
through a divided Congress. But
the manufacturers may be as
sured that | win permit no other
kind to become a law. Better
stick TO the Payne-Aldrich act
than accept relief from Demo
Gratis and progressive Republi-
cans.
Have | not made il clear
that this administration is New
Enland's friend? Look what
you New Englanders got in reci-
procity. Also look what | saved

to the excellent arrangements
and good management of Mr..
Tom Barry, and others of the

great credit. Ample prepara-
tons had been made to nip in
the bud any rowdyism, boot

been a sure enough picnic for
the fellow who started anything
of the kind. Another very

Woodmen Of the World held
their regular annual picnic.
Except for being rather too
warm, the day was an ideal one
for the occasion. and the popu-

crowd which turned out.

Courier man, both of whom have
registered a vow to let no more
picnics be pulled off without
them. arrived on the grounds in
time TO be the guests Of the
order at a sumptuous dinner.

New Telephone Directory.

A new telephone directory will be
printed March 1st. So many new
phones have been added to the local
exchange the past year, that the old
directory card is no longer large
enough, hence the Stevens Co. Tele-
phone Co., has ordered the new direc-
tories printed in book form as used in
the larger cities. Hereafter all farm
or rural telephones will be given num-
bers, so that when the new directory
is issued. telephone users should first
look up the number of farm tele-
phone before calling central. The
new book is more expensive than the
cards. so that the Company will not
get out new directory as often as it
has in the past. Anyone who is think
ing of having new phone installed
should order it before March 1st, so
that their names will appear in the
directory.

strychnine symptoms to present them
selves, l would say that this depends
on how the drug was administered.
Animals will not take the drug
unless it is concealed in some food
substance. The usual method of ad-
ministering the drug is in the center
of a piece of meat. When given this
way several hours may elapse before
the meat is digested sufficiently to
liberate the poison. If given in a
piece of fat. as is the usual way of
placing on the prairies for wolves,
the effects are quicker as the fat
rapidly dissolves. Again. the effects
are delayed or hastened according to
the amount of food in the stomach.
From my experience in private prac-
tice, I am satisfied that dog poisoning
is very common, the symptoms be-
ing so characteristic that a mistaken
diagnosis can hardly be made.
'tIt is as you say the experience Of
every one that the good dogs are
the ones to die. That is perhaps
accounted for by the fact that ones
attention is hardly ever called to
the death of mongrels. I feel satisfied
the dogs were poisoned and not due
to their mode of life
1t should be possible to secure evil
dence as to who is doing the dog poison
ing here, and there is a strong proba-
bility that it will in due time become
known. A person who exposes poison
for any domestic animal is guilty of
misdemeanor,

DOGS ARE POISONED.
State Veterinarian Gives Opin-
ion on Recent Cases.

Since the death of his own dog by
the poison route the editor of this
paper has been interested in solving
the question of whether the dogs that
are apparently poisoned really do die
of poisoning or from some natural
cause. Poisoning is so common that
it has seemed preposterous to believe
that almost every town had its dog
poisoner. Many people hold to the
theory that most of the dogs die of
ptomaine poisoning and cite in sup
port of the theory that the poisoning
occurs at about the same time every
along during the winter or ear
ly spring-when there is the least
provocation to kill off the dogs, and
also that the dogs usually live for
from one to several hours after symp-
toms of poisoning become apparent
while strychnine is supposed to kill
in a few minutes. In the hope of
having the question determined we had
the stomach of the last dog poisoned
removed and sent to the state veter-
marian, but were told that there was
no state chemist to DO such work.
S. H. Ward. the state veterinarian
wrote US very fully on the question.
however, and we print the letter in
part. as being of interest to every dog
owner. He says:
II would say that the only posi-
tive way a diagnosis of strychnine
poisoning can be made is by analysis
of the stomach contents. Unfortun-
ately three is no state chemist who
will do such work. The work of the
state pure food chemist is confined
to foods. The chemist of the Agri-
cultural College has his own special
line. as also the Chemistry Division
of the University. Their duties are
such that they have not the time to
do outside work. This board has
charge of the contagious diseases of
live stock, but unfortunately we have
no chemist or laboratory or means to
carry on such work.

CAUSES PANIC In CONVENT
Bomb Exploded Near Eentrance of
New York Institution.

New York, Feb. 21.-A hundred
girls, inmates of the st. Cecilia con-
vent on East One Hundred and Sixth
street, were thrown into panic by the
explosion of dynamite bomb in the
street few feet from the entrance of
the convent.
The bomb did practically no dam
age. The noise of the explosion was
terrific and buildings for a block or
more in every direction were shaken.
The inmates of the convent were
asleep, but jumped out of their beds
and rushed in terror to stairways and
fire escapes. The sisters quieted them
with difficulty.

1t would be piece of utter foolish
ness. 1t would not do bit of good,
as there was combination in King
county to beat the COW county repre-
sentation. If they could not get the
representation they demanded We
should not have any road legislation.
Outside of the COW county organiza-
ton back of the controversy is the
utter folly of spending $2,000,0O0 of
the peoples money for a road through
Snoqualmie pass, which for eight
months of the year is buried under
from IL to 20 feet of snow. Should
King. Pierce and Spokane counties
get the representation they demand,
the next thing would be a constitu-
tiOnal amendment which would pro-
vide for the election of the Washing.
ton legislature from Pierce King and
Spokane counties. If special session
is called 1t would sit for so days in
the same deadlock as existed during
the last "a hours. The outside coun-
ties are opening up the state and
helping build up the big counties,
and they do not propose to have their
representation taken away from them
and to be represented instead by leg
islators from the coulee districts Of
