This week another Councilman resigned, and the Council proceeded b fill tho vacancy by the election of O. O. Hodson, there being but threo members present when this election took place. At this meeting, among other proceedings, an ordinance was passed to compel the attendance of Councilmen at Council meetings, and to assert the power of the Council to declare vacant the offices of Councilmen who should refuse to attend meetings.

Fruit Inspector Beck, of this county. Is giving very close attention to the duties of his office this spring, and insists that spraying be done with rigid adherence to the rules. "Many people," said the In spector today, "aro careless about spray ing. They do the work in a slipshod man ner, and then, when they find that their trees are still Infested, they complain that spraying does no good. To be effective every branch and part of the tree must be covered with the solution. Another thing is that people must stop guessing when they mix salt, sulphur, lime and lye for spraying. The proportions must be exactly as required by the formula. If every orchardlst would spray thor oughly, and follow the directions in mak ing his spraying solution, one year's work would be enough to rid this county of the San Jose scale."

President George H. King, of the Unl- THE OLD METHOD Of Treating: Piles and Rectal Dla eaues Now Discarded. Thousands of sufferers bear witness to the value of the Pyramid Pile Curo and even in cases where a dangerous surgical operation has failed to cure, surprising re sults have been obtained from the new remedy after a few weeks' use. Relief from pain is so immediate that patients sometimes imagine that the Pyr amid Pile Cure must contain some form of cocaine or opiate, but a careful anal ysis shows It to contain no opiate, co caine or any Injurious drug whatever; In fact. It is guaranteed absolutely free from any deleterious substancc. The old methods of treating piles by lig ature, knife or tho still more cruel treat ment of dilatation, besides causing intense pain and frequently collapse and death, are now known to be practically useless as far as a permanent curo Is concerned. Nearly every case of piles may be -traced to faultyactlon of the liver, and It Is a mistake to "treat the trouble entirely by local applications of salves and ointments or by any kind of operation. The new treatment by the Pyramid has clearly demonstrated Its superiority over all of those. The Pyramid Pile Cure Is strictly scien tific, both In its composition and in its therapeutic action, and the best feature of It Is that It Is perfectly safe and harm less. "No ill effects ever result from its vse. ij- The cure" Is accomplished gradually and painlessly by the astringent properties contained In it, which cause the little tumors and congested blood vessels to contract and the obstruction to the cir culation to be removed. In view of the immense number of pat ent -medicines .on the market, it Is a sin gular fact that the Pyramid is the only pile cure of note, tho only one that Is sold and recommended in every drug store in the United States. The remedy Is In suppository form" and far superior to any salve or ointment for convenience. It Is applied at night and absorbed Into the sensltve rectal mem brane, acting both as a local and a con stitutional treatment. The treatment is effectual even- in cases of many years' standing. Complete treatment of the Pyramid Pile Cure Is sold by druggists everywhere at 50 cents, and a little book on cause and cure of piles will be mailed free by ad dressing Pyramid Drug Company, Mar shall, Mich. verslty of Washington Board of Regents, has secured a valuable collection of shells for the museum of the University. For the past five years P. M. Randolph, of tho Young Naturalists' Society, of Seattle, J has been collecting and exchanging shells, principally the land and fresh-water fami lies. He has made himself tho authority In these lines in this vicinity, and has dis covered several species new to science, some of which have been named hi his honor. His magnificent collections have been placed In the museum, and most of them, have been given outright to the University. SNAKE RIVER FRUIT PROSPECT. Rest Ever Known There, for Peacbes Particularly" Wheat All Right. COLFAX, Wash., March 3. The fruit crop of the Snake River Valley, according to the present outlook, promises to be the best in the htetory of fruit culture in that section. The mild winter has brought the trees through In the pink of condi tion. George Smith, or Penawawa, one of the principal fruitgrowers of this coun ty, says that even tho tenderest varieties aro entirely uninjured. The apple crop promises to be the largest ever known In tho county. J. R. Lee, of Penawawa, called attention to tho fact that fn over 20 years there never has been two successive failures In fruit production, and that there is a belief in tho peach district of the county that a failure of the peach crop can be expected every soventh year. This theory is in accord with the history of the industry during the past 21 years. As last year was, In a eense, a failure, the growers look with confidence for a bounti ful crop this season. Fall wheat is uninjured throughout the Palouse country, and seeding of spring wheat will begin in the western portion of Whitman County on Monday. At Elberton yesterday, Spencer Gragg, a prominent and wealthy .farmer, at tempted to drown himself, while suffering from a fit of Insanity induced by exces sive drinking.
