Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report SSOIAJTEEV ' PURE THE CHINESE SUGARS Large Quantities Surreptiti ously Sold on the Coast. IT IS BILLED AS "MERCHANDISE' But Few People Are Aware of the Dan ger That la Threatened From This Unclean Article. Tacoma, Oct 21. The curiosity of the unwary reader is not aroused when he sees among other items of cargo re ported by the agents of the Asiatic steamers "8,600 pkg's merchandise." There is tea, silk, spices and 8,600 pkg's "merchandise." Aren't tea and silk "merchandise?" Yes; and there is nothing to be con cealed in their imporation, but with sugar it is different Secrecy is the watchword. The public must not know that Chinese sugar is being dumped upon ' them. Why? Because the public don't want it The steamer Strathnevis, which ar rived at Tacoma on October 8, brought in her cargo 8,600 pkg's "merchan dise" or 860,000 pounds of Chinese sugar, and importations of this same secret "merchandise" since July 1 into Oregon and Washington have amount ed to 48,340 bags, or nearly 5,000,000 pounds, valued at nearly a quarter of a million dollars. Where has it all gone? How many people know they are buying sugar from the plague ridden Orient with its poorly paid and poorly fed labor? The same secrecy exercised by the importer is exercised by the grocer and by every one who handles it, and the public be comes a large consumer of an article that it knows nothing of and would not buy if it knew what it was getting. And yet there has been secretly, im ported in the last three months six ppunds of this sugar for every man, woman and child in Washington and Oregon. Why does the grocer handle it? Not a single wholesale grocer of any stand ing in the Northwest does, but some of the retail grocers in their anxiety to buy cheaper than their neighbors have let their avarice get the best of their patriotism and good sense. They buy it because it is cheaper and they can make two or three cents more on a dol lar's worth. Do these grocers sell this sugar cheaper? Did you ever see in your grocer's store two bags one mark ed "American Sugar" and the other "Chinese Sugar"? No. They buy it at an insignificant difference in cost and sell this "merchandise" as "sugar" at the same price as Ameri can sugar. For a little extra profit they sell the public an article that they do not dare .call by name. Secrecy is the watchword. The pub lic will not have this "merchandise" if they know what it is. Therefore they must not know what it is. There are few people who will buy sugar from plague and vermin ridden China when they get a better article at practically the same price made at home, and it is because the public don't want this product of coolie labor that it is handled in the dark and sold in the dark, concealed by the importer and concealed by the tradesman. There is probably not one reader of this ar ticle who has not purchased Chinese sugar thinking that he was getting a clean American product made by American labor. Who reaps the bene fit of the deception? A few honest grocers here and there display cards: "We handle American Sugar Only." Many grocers sell Chi nese sugar thinking that they are do ing nothing wrong, that it is all right so long as the customer does not ask what he is getting or specify Ameri can sugar. If the customer asks they tell him it is Chinese sugar, with a very few exceptions. Nevertheless, it remains a fact that this immense quantity of sugar is dump ed in here and sold and no one ever sees or hears of it The American people are protection ists in theory and in fact and are not so inconsistent as to frame laws to shut out the products of pauper labor and they turn around and buy, at practical ly no difference in price, an every day staple food product from the most poorly paid, the most degraded, the most filthy labor on the face of the earth. Hardly a freetrader would be so un American as to patronize such products although he does not believe in keep ing them out by law, and he can well point his finger of scorn to any one professing to believe in protection to American industries who brings to his own house and family sugar from China. Suppose the grocer gave his custom ers the benefit of the lower price and gave them one more pound of Chinese sugar than of American sugar for one dollar, few families would " save over thirty cents a year. It is ridiculous and no one will listen to it Hence the secrecy. Hence the "merchan dise." This is why no grocer asks you which you will have, American or Chi nese sugar. Let every American stand for Ameri can goods. Find out what your are getting. At least pay for what you sret and sret what you pay for. This is the kind of protection that protects. The government in order to protect its citizens against practices of this kind requires that all imported goods shall be plainly marked with the name of the country from which it came. But little sugar is sold in original packages and the good effect is lost If you buy a bag of Chinese sugar you will find in the middle of the bag the words Hong Kong, provided your eye sight is good and provided it has not been marked over with a marking brash. tr-i ni , mi in r tii A change will come about when every customer asks what sugar he is getting and insists on getting - his money's worth and lets the light in on this secret "merchandise." , There is spent for labor alone on the Pacific coast $500,000 annually by American refineries. They buy Wash ington coal, Oregon barrel stock, pa per, etc, and in a great many ways the distribution of this vast sum of money is of benefit to our communities. The first question to ask oneself is, What can I do to help my fellow man, my fellow workman and the country in which I live? First, by knowing what sugar you use yourself, and sec ondly, by seeing that your are supplied with no other than the American made article, made by American workmen, in American cleanly factories, operated by American capital, paying American wages, in good American coin, and keeping that American money at home, not sending it abroad to support the corruption and corrupting influences of a nation stained with infamy, black ened by disease, and odorized with the death of its inhabitants. We have here in our glorious state of Washington and sister state of Ore gon, as evidenced by the Exposition of the Manufacturers' and Producers' As sociation, one of the greatest fields for beets in this or any other country. In rejecting the coolie made stuff called sugar and buying only American made goods, you are encouraging and strengthening the hands of your neigh bor farmer, and building lip an indus try which you will yourself share and in time proudly realize the greatness of the soil upon which we live and which Ood has blessed with a special Providence as uncompassed on the face of the globe. THE ROMANCE .OF THE TELEGRAPH. Some of the Odd Difficulties of Operating a Line Through Queer Countries. A good deal of romance hovers around the means by which the world's news is gathered. The speed and accuracy with which telegraph messages are trans mitted between the uttermost parts of the earth is marvelous when the condi tions under which they are sometimes transmitted are considered. The Indo-European telegraph line offers a good illustration. It runs from London to Lowestoft on the east coast of England. It then dips under the sea to Emden, on the German coast, whence it passes through Germany to the Rus sian frontier. From this point the wire passes by way of Warsaw, Eowno, Odes sa, the Caucasus, andTiflis to, Persia, and by Tauris to Teheran, the capital of the shah's queer domain. There it joins the Indian government line which runs from the Persian capital to Bushire on the Persian gulf. Thence the wires run through Baluchistan, and complete the route by connecting at Karachi, m northern India. The operation of this immense stretch of line, passing through countries of such varying climates and general characteristics, is obviously one of much difficulty. On the snow swept steppes of Russia the wires are sometimes snapped like thread by the rapid flight of flocks of wild geese. The poles are cut down and made into fire wood by the nomad tribes of the Cau casian districts, and the cunning inn keepers of Georgia seek to boom their post horse trade by deliberately creating faults in the wires. In certain parts of the mountainous regions of Asia the maintenance of the solitary line involves no little personal risk and hardship to the staff hands. Communication is often cut off by avalanches in the moun tain districts, and the work of repairing after a snowfall of five or six feet is no light matter. These mountain stations are provi sioned with several months' supplies be fore the winter sets in, as the staff will be in touch with the rest of the world by the wire only until the spring weather opens out the passes. In these supplies are always included a liberal allowance of books and games where with to relieve the monotony of the tedious winter exile. New York Sun. THE SOUTHERN SUMMER. It Is Claimed That While Long It la Not Oppressive. Wrong impressions are hard to eradi cate from the human mind. In the north and west it is a popular delusion that southern summers are extremely hot and oppressive, and that life here during the summer months is almost unbearable. This impression is formed upon no knowledge of the matter, but simply upon the assumption that, as we are nearer the equator, it must necessarily be much warmer than in more northern latitudes. An investiga tion of the records of the government weather bureau will show that there is no ground for such an assumption. Our summers are long, but they are not unpleasant. The heat in the north and west is much more oppressive dur ing June, July and August than in the south. Deaths from sunstroke are mnch more numerous there, and the heat is decidedly more sultry. Our long even ings are delightful, and a sultry night is seldom experienced. Our laborers work in the fields all day long, and suffer less from the warmth than those of the north. In a nutshell, our summers compare favorably with those of any section of the country, and our long, pleasant, warm season is a decided advantage. Our farmers can commence to work the land long before their northern and western brothers think of beginning, and can continue to utilize it months after they have stopped. In the towns and cities the residents are exempted from heavy expenditures for warm win ter clothing, and for the larger portion of the year the only fuel burned is for cooking purposes. In comparison with the north and west, it is doubtful if our long, pleas ant summer is not as far superior to their short, blistering one as our short, mild winters are to their long, frigid ,mes. Montgomery (Ala. ) Advertiser. IMPERIAL MILLIONS By JULIAS' HAWTHOBSTL Copyright, URL, by American Presa Assort a. tton.1 Wedsed between two seats on the op posite side of the aisle, which in the 1 present position of the car was on an in clined plane above him, was a' body whose right arm, hanging downward, was within Kennel's reach as he stood. He took hold of the hand; it was limp ' and clammy the hand of a corpse. I Bracing his feet against some fragments of wreck, he grasped the body round the j waist and dragged it from its position. ' It was, as he had surmised, that of the young man in whom he had fancied a resemblance to himself. j He had been killed by a mass of metal, ' which had struck him in the face, crush-' ing in the features and the front of the brain. Except that the countenance was thus rendered utterly unrecogniz-' able, the body seemed uninjured. Keppel chuckled. "Yon have died to save me," j he said, "at the right moment and in the j right way. May your soul have peace, ' brother." . . As quickly as possible he removed the dead man's coat and waistcoat . and exchanged them for his own, ! putting the latter npon the corpse. Then, drawing the lifeless arm intc ' a suitable position, he passed the free handcuff round the wrist and sprung the lock. The body was now chained to that of the daad detective. "You must submit to be mistaken for a murderer. my good fellow," he muttered. "You j will never know it; and, besides, I am innocent if that is any consolation tc you. So now goodbyt" Clambering out of the wreck, he stood npon the track beside the shattered train. He could vaguely see people mov ing about or standing in groups. The noise of escaping steam had ceased, but the groans of the wounded and dying passengers could still be heard intermit tently. A figure approached him carry ing a lantern. It was one of the brake men. "Are you hurt, sir?" he said, pausing. "Only a few bruises," replied Keppel. "But I believe most of the others in our car were killed. And, by the way, there was one odd thing" "What was that, sir?" "Why, there was a prisoner aboard he was handcuffed to an officer they were taking him to Sing Sing, I suppose." "Why, that was the fellow that killed Harry Trent! What became of him?" "I was sitting in the seat next him. He's lying there stone dead, and the de tective's with him. His life imprison ment didn't last long!" "Dead, is he?" said the brakeman. "Well, if I was he, I'd rather be killed in a moment in a railway accident than live fifty years in a prison. Some said, though, that he never murdered Trent But I guess he got his deserts." "No doubt of it. Well, good night. I shall walk on to Tarrytown." "Good night, sir." Keppel stepped off np the track. He had no settled plan of flight, but so long as he did not meet any one who knew him he felt little or no apprehension. In the belief of the world, tomorrow morn ing he would be dead; his obituary would be read in the papers by millions of peo ple. Nevertheless, it behooved him to keep out of sight, and as soon as might be, to make whatever changes were pos sible in his personal appearance. He would cut his hair he might be able to bleach it, perhaps he would let his beard grow. He must move out of the country too; if he cquld contrive to get to Europe so much the better. He must take an other name, and look forward to a life under totally changed conditions. A new life, a lonely life. Henceforth all his old friends and acquaintances were his deadliest enemies. All but one! Olym pia had said that she believed in him. that she loved him and would marry none but him. Aye, but she, with the rest of the world, would now think of him as dead. Death obliterates all things memory and love and the rest But what if he should send her a secret mes sage or sign informing her of his safety? He paused in his walk to reflect. No, it would not do, as the message might mis carry; and. if not, what avail to write to her? She could not come to him. , They could not get married and go off togeth er. To know that he was alive might give her happiness for a moment, bnt in the long run it could only make her mis erable. Moreover, money would be in dispensable, and where was it to come from? He might still paint pictures, it was true, but it would not be safe to do so in this country; and as to Europe It was better to select some other pro fession. Yet what profession could bring the immediate returns that were neces sary? Robbery was the only one, and there were objections to that! How was he to procure the means of buying his next meal? A sudden thought caused him to search the pockets of his coat and waist coat the garments which he had taken from the dead man. There were papers and letters, and in the right hand pocket of the waistcoat there was a small roll of bills four or five in alL It was too dark to discern the denominations, but there could not be less than five dollars. It was enough for the present; and indeed Keppel, who still had some traditions of con science left, was glad it was not more. Nobody could feel the loss of so small a sum, and it was of disproportionate value to Keppel himself. -w He now left the track and turned off to the eastward. The rain gradually cleared and the stars came ont Guid ing himself by them, Keppel walked on and on, now clambering over steep ac clivities, now plunging into hollows, now toiling over plowed meadows, forc ing his way through bits of woodland, stealing past farm houses, where dogs barked and cocks crowed, but occasion ally coming upon a stretch of road that went his way. Presently the short night wore away and dawn began to appear. Keppel halted and spent half an hour in removing the stains of mud from his clothing and making himself look as pre sentable as possible. His left arm pained him severely, but he thought himself lucky in having no bones broken. In one of his new pockets he found a pen knife, and with this, as well as he could, he cut his hair short In a couple of weeks his beard would have begun to grow, and he would be tolerably dis guised. . He now proceeded slowly, for he was very tired, and also sleepy and hungry. He had walked more than twenty miles. At length, as the sun rose, he saw, half ! a mile off, a railway catting extending toward a small town. Thither he directed his steps, but lingered on the outskirts for an hour or two until the townspeople should be awake. Finally he heard a train coming, and managed to reach the station at , the same time that the engine drew up at the platf orm. Then, as it steamed away again," he walked into the town, as if just arrived from New York, and seeing a plain but comfortable looking inn near at hand, he entered and asked for a room and some breakfast. : . , While his eggs and coffee were being boiled he locked himself into his room to think over his situation. But the future was so vague that he was able to come to no conclusion. As soon as his money should be gone he would be at the mercy of circumstances. He ex amined again the contents of his pockets. There were eight dollars in money, two or three letters addressed to Burton Fairfax, Esq., of Poughkeepsie, a couple of receipted bills, and nothing else ex cept a cutting from a newspaper, headed "Some Developments of the Trent Mur der," which Keppel proceeded to read with interest Its date was apparently of the day previous: "The will of the late Harry Trent was discovered yesterday in a package of documents left by him in a , bureau drawer at the Bellevue hotel, in Phila delphia. He spent the night of February twenty-second last at this place, and seems to have forgotten to take the docu ments away with him. The will is dated February twenty, eighteen hundred and seventy, and is very short, devising all his property, real and personal, to my wife, Sarah Althea Trent' It is proper ly signed and attested. This will be of interest to those who ventured to express doubts as to the genuineness of the mar riage announced in court last Tuesday by Mrs. Trent until then known as Mrs. Sallie Matchin. Mr. Trent at all events appears to have shared her opin ion regarding- its validity. The other documents in the package were not of an important character. "It will be noticed that no provision is made in the will for Mrs. Raven and her daughter Olympia, who are understood to have been distantly related to the de ceased, and to have been receiving from him an annual stipend of some eight thousand dollars. This fact will proba bly occasion some comment, as it was intimated at the late trial that Mr. Trent had proposed to make Miss Raven his wife. Possibly the desire that he should make such a proposal was father to the statement that he had done so. His will seems to show not only the baselessness of the assertion, but that for some rea son or other Mr. Trent intended in the future to let these two ladies take care of themselves. It is to be hoped that they possess independent resources. "In Mr. Trent's breast pocket at the time of his death was found a letter written in cipher, the purport of which was not made o'Stir: It was not produced at the trial, as the prosecution was not of the opinion that it could throw any light on the case. It is now published, however, in the hope that some cipher expert may be able to elucidate it, and thus, perhaps, furnish an explanation of some of the mysterious circumstances that yet surround Mr. Trent's tragic end. The letter is as follows: " 'Slmpi F, npi. C q gnl F. pil pink oghi mlhg npi. E. mkpi C, Klmh F, pion qolg C. qkin F, hqon qolg B qkng F. olmh qolg C mhgq omgk qlin B hkq F. hnpq ngmo mioq S lmpi.

"The paper on which this curious ef fusion is written appears to be of French manufacture." Such was the newspaper article, some passages of which moved Keppel pain fully. Olympia, it seemed, would be re duced to want just at the time when he was powerless to render her any assist ance. The situation greatly perplexed him; for Harry Trent had told him with his own lips that he intended reserving Olympia for himself, and he had given it out publicly that Mrs. and Miss Raven were to live with bim in his new house, yet he was married to Sally Matchin at that very time, and five days before had executed a will cutting off Olympia with out even the proverbial shilling.- There was something odd about this; it de manded investigation. The first thing to be done was to find out the real mur derer of Harry Trent; the remainder of the mystery would probably resolve itself. But who would find the murderer out? Obviously, no one would concern himself about the matter unless Keppel himself did, and certainly he was in no position to enter upon such a quest at present. He could only promise himself that he would never forget the purpose to do so, nor rest until it had been accomplished. As for the cipher, although Keppel was somewhat of an adept at cryptic writing, he soon perceived that here was a prob lem out of the common run. It did not respond to the usual tests. Thus, of the seventeen different characters (commas and periods included) that composed it, three occurred six times or less, seven from twelve to twenty-nine times, and seven from thirty to forty times. Plainly, therefore, they could not be signs answering to letters of the alphabet. Again, the cipher consisted of groups of four characters (neither more nor less) and of single capitals. Of the four char acter combinations over sixty in all only seven occurred more than once in the course of the composition. Of the separate capitals V occurred twenty-two times, C seventeen times, B six, S five and E four times. AH this was very puzzling, and was to be elucidated, if at all, ouly after prolonged study, of which Keppel'8 brain, at that juncture, was far from being capable. Meanwhile the housemaid knocked at the door and sum moned him to breakfast He replaced the cipher in his pocket and went down. ' After eating heartily he went back to his room and slept till the middle of the afternoon. Then, after dining, he took the road again, and in the course of a couple of honrs arrived at a town on the shores of Long Island sound. On the wharf a couple of men were just prepar ing to put out, in a catboat Keppel asked them whither they were bound. "To Port Jefferson," one of them an swered.

A WALKING CORPSE TERM APPLIED TO A LADY BY HER FRIENDS. Mrs. Reed, of ChehalU, Wash., Tells of Her Recovery From Loss of Blood and Dropsy. From the Nngget, Chehalis, Wash. . The neighbors called her a walking corpse. For fifteen years she had suf fered front loss of blood and dropsy. She had not the strength to stand alone. She had spent thousands of dollars with the doctors and had been unable to find relief. Her case was considered hopeless. That is the experience of Mrs. C. Reed, a well-known lady of Chehalis, Wash. A Nugget reporter called upon her at her home last Tuesday. She was willing to be interviewed, she said, if she oouldbe the means of pointing out to other unfortunates the way to recov ery and good health. "It has been over fifteen years since the malady asserted itself," said Mrs. Reed. "Since then, until within the last few months, I never knew what it was to be well for a single day. I could not sleep. My appetite went away and I began to lose flesh. This continued for years. I became so weak I could not wait npon myself. I had to have the help of others to dress and undress, even to walk from one room to another. I lost all my strength. In addition, I had dropsy of the blood. My limbs were swollen, and nothing I could do seemed to afford me relief. The doctors said I must take iron to strengthen and invigorate my blood. I took iron took it by the bottle and by the box; took it morning, noon and night. Bnt it did no good, and I had finally lost all hope. "At last I saw an acoount of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I thought this fitted my case exactly and I tried to get some of the pills. They were not kept at the drugstores here, and I had to send to Olympia. They came finally, however. I began to take them and experienced relief immediately. I sent for two more boxes to the Dr. Williams' Company at Schnectady, N. Y. , and by the time I had taken them I felt like a new woman. I have been taking them oc casionally since then. "It was two years ago that I began to use Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I was 60 years of age then, and had not been able to do my housework for many years. Now I am able to care for myself, to do my own work, and I can walk long distances without being especially fatigued. "I think my cure is a marvelous one, and is due entirely to the Pink Pills for Pale People. Without them I fear I should have been dead before now. "Since my cure has become known the druggists here have always kept the pills, and I do not have to send away for them any more. I have recom mended them to several of my neigh bors, and I know that they have done much good in more than one case sim ilar to my own. " In order to confirm this statement beyond all doubt Mrs. Reed offered to make affidavit to its truth, and the affidavit is here presented: Subscribed and sworn to before me this 14th day of May, 1895. J. M. Kepner, Notary Public. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves.

TJ CURES THE EARLY BIRD. It's the early birds that catch the worm, saith the proverb, but what a foolish worm it is to get up so early and be caught. Some of our farmers are the early birds. They go forth at dawn to catch up, as they call it, and they catch some thing else. Tramping through wet grass and stubble on cold, damp, frosty mornings like these, and going thus all day thereafter, brings to scores of them what they were not looking tor. They come home in the evening to suffer ail night with rheumatism. Now, while men must work, they need nut suffer. Why should they when a bottle of St. Jacobs Uil will keep tbeni all right. A good rub at night with it will so strengthen and heal the muscles they will resist the in fluence of tue cold and dampness, an t a man will be cured betore he knows it. Let this be tried fur a while, and if the man is Lot cured it is only because he hasn't the patience to rub the pain out. "Did the Cantata of the football team keep his head?"
