TRAMP ONLY FIRE CLEW FAIR BULDIXG INCENDIARY VICTIM IS BELIEF. Structure Long a Refuge for Hobos, Who Cooked There When Watch man Was Removed. . The suspicion grows that the fire of Wednesday night, which destroyed the Government building at the Lewis and Clark fair grounds, was Incendiary. So far as can be learned no one was In the building or near it at he time of the fire except a tramp, seen by persons liv ing in the neighborhood to walk out on the neck of land connecting Government Island with the mainland. In the Summer of 1908, when Charles Schemp was living in the model life-saving station on the southwest side of the Island, having been employed by Lafe Pence to keep tramps and marauders away, hobos did not hesitate, it Is said, to build fires on the wooden floor of the Government building that they might boil coffee or cook food. Lafe Pence at that time had an option on the property. But when he failed to purchase it the watchman was dispensed with. There after tramps had things their own way. At the trial of little Jackson Reld In the Juvenile Court in November, 1908, for the shooting of George F. De Mars. It was brought out on the witness stand by Schemp, the lad's stepfather, that Pence had given him instructions to keep all marauders off the island at all haz ards, because of the trouble they had caused. L. Irons also told of depredations by tramps, saying his shack "was blown up with dynamite, but that the person who did it was arrested and sentenced to the Penitentiary. Irons said he was just returning home at the time of the explosion. PLEDGE FOR LOAN IS SOLD Engraver In Trouble as Result of Too Hasty Realization on Pin. H. T.

After having made all arrangements to defend the case It was learned that the evidence secured by two detectives from Spokane was conclusive. The Bleuths were employed by the Portland Lumber Company. It required three weeks' effort by the detectives to gain sufficient confidence to Induce the ac cused men to sell liquor to them. The detectives first worked as lumber jacks at the Potlach Mills. Then they turned to playing their fiddles in the "temperance" and billiard halls of the trio for two weeks before they were able to buy liquor in such a manner that their testimony could be corrobor ated. Though the police of Moscow have arrested several men for drunkenness during the lat 10. days. It was only learned . yesterday that the detectives had been operating here, trying In every way their cunning suggested to induce drugstores to sell them liquor. Not even the police knew of the de tectives' presence In town. Their main clew was the discovery of a dozon empty liquor bottles every night In the wash rooms at the. Pastime resort. TRAIN SAVED BY WOMAN Apron and Handkerchief Give Warning of Boulder on Track. Mr. Stanley Aldrlch, who lives-a mile above Castle Rock, between Butler and Cascade stations, on the North Bank Railroad, discovered a few days ago in the center of the track a large boulder of several hundred pounds weight, which had rolled down the hillside. At the same moment she heard the regular east bound freight train approaching. Without hesitation she ran down the track, waving her apron in one hand and her handkerchief in the other, and suc ceeded in attracting the engineer's at tention in time for him to apply the brakes so that the engine hit the boulder at reduced speed and stopped after push ing the rock along the track about 100 feet, instead of striking it at full sped, which would have ditched part of the train.

DIETING DOES NOT CURE INDIGESTION SELFDENIAL BY PRESCRIBED RULES OF HEALTH USED TO BE CON SIDERED A CURE. Starvation is a strange remedy for any disease. Yet starvation by rigor ous diet was once generally resorted to in cases of Indigestion and Dys pepsia. Even yet. It Is sometimes tried. Such a remedy is worse than useless. Every day of life consumes a portion of the tissues of the human body. The food we eat serves to repair the waste, and you can't build up the system by withholding the material necessary for these purposes. When you have Dys pepsia or Indigestion, or any form of stomach trouble, take a little Kodol to help the stomach do its work. We say, take Kodol, because it Is the only preparation that will digest all the food you eat. Every tablespoonf ul of Kodol digests 2y, pounds of food. It supplies the same digestive Juices that are found in a healthy, vigorous stomach. There are other preparations that are partial digesters, but what your stomach needs is complete rest. Kodol Is the only preparation that will give it. A man is so constituted that he needs a variety of foods: to reduce the variety always produces bad re sults. In D9 cases out of 100, Indi gestion is due to lack of some of the elements which constitute the natural aigestive Juices. Kodol supplies Just what is needed. Our Guarantee- riot a dollar bottle of Kodol. If you are not benefited the druggist will at once return your money. Don't hesitate; any druggist will sell you Kodol on these terms. The dollar bottle con tains 2 times as much as th kii. bottle. Kodol is prepared in -th lab oratories of E. C. DeWltt & Co.
