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

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

"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.

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. They are for sale
by all druggists, or may be had by
mail from Dr. Williams' Medicine
Company, Schenectady, N. Y. , for 50c.
per box, or six boxes for $2. 50.

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.

The readers of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease tb at science has been able te cure

constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
