Trusts are one of the greatest evils of modern times. They are only the legal means to rob the people. In order to show th:s more plainly, we will refer to the great rubber trust that has been in operation since April 1. The majority of the great rubber factories in the east formed a trust last j-ear iu order to raise the price of their output. Two or three firms (amongst them the great Woonsocket Rubber Co.,) remained out side, but it seems now that all have combined, as the price of rubber boots, rubber shoes, etc., has advanced fully 30 per cent, since Aprii 1. Think of it, farmers and laboring men, an advance of 30 per cent, all at once ! This means, for instance, that you have to pay $4.00 for a pair of boots that you cauld buy for $3.00 last winter. Thus it will be seen that trusts are on the increase. Almost every line of industry is on the road to that end. It muy be the infection was communicated from the tendency of everything to organize and fight with the benefit of numbers. But latterly capital has appeared to force the fight ing. By all means let them have enough of it. Let the watchword be: 'Down with the trusts." it never rains but it pours. Now is the season to bring out legislative rot tenness, from that of a powerful nation down to a borough. France started the ball rolling in the Panama scandal, showing a magnitude of bribery unpar alleled in the history of the world, and comprising a steal of $5,000,000. The latest corruption is developed in Minne sota. The senate committee report will be the most sensational ever prepared by a legislative committee and is all based on sworn testimony. Frauds and conspiracy of the most gi gantic aud far-reaching character are said to have been unearthed. It is claimed the state has been defrauded directly and indirectly out of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Many persons hitherto above suspicion are said to be involved and besmirched by the committee's findings. Innumerable false homestead entries, soldiers' pre emptions and Indian allotments, all made on powers of attorney by means of straw, in the interests of corporations, are said to have been disclosed. The Union Pacific has contracted for the coming season an item of expenditure in the shape of 2,500,000 ties, the cost of which "will amount to $1 ,000,000, or 40 cents each. Extensive preparations are being made for building branch lines to tap the main portions now in operation west and northwest. In different de partments of the shop sat Omaha several thousand men are busy turning out ma terial for new rolling stock. The loco motive department has completed seven unusual by large engines. Besides build ing a number of new vestibule cars, many of the old ones are being run into the shops for alteration and renovation. JcjMehson once said ne was under no obligation to think today what he thought yesterday. That was the blunt expression of a bit of philosophy recog nized to a greater or less degree by all the great minds of earth, and when Chamberlain quotes the past anti-home rule utterances of four liberal ministers now leading the way in a proposal to es tablish an Irish parliament, be weakens his own cause. He merely argues that while others have advanced in states manship, learning and liberality, he has been standing still by the established systems of the dying past. A news item in another column re lates that workmen and a large install ment of machinery have been put to work at the Monoghan quarry, six miles from the locks ; also that the family of the senior Day has arrived. All reports received during the last two weeks are confirmatory that at last, work is to be hastened on the locks, and that in eighteen months the dreams and hopes of twenty-fire years will be realized.

Holler Man Wallowa Around In the Nebulas Left by Bill Nye. William Edgar Nye has come and gone. He showed here last Saturday, and we got here on Monday, so the peo ple do not really miss him so much as they would otherwise. This town is not nestled in a valley by a silvery streamfat the foot of a mount ain, covered with laurel and stately pines, where the winds moan in the tree tops like a dirge over the grave of Moses on Mt. Nebo ; not by a dam site, for there are many mills and factories here, and such powerful falls that a dam is not really needed. I don't believe that they could make one stick. I don't know exactly what nestled means, but I guess this town is not nestled, for it is all spraddled out on both aides of the Spokane river and covers a heap of space that could not be used for any thing else. It is like the old Connecti cut Yankee's turkey. He told a friend he set her on seventy-two eggs. His friend said: "What did you do that for? She can't near cover them." "I know that," he said, "but I wanted to see the old fool spread herself." There was just a touch of profanity in the ori ginal story, but early good training for bids its use, and out of respect for the dead turkey (for it killed her) we will not use it. We were in a chair car from The Dalles, in one of those instruments of torture like that used on the martyrs in the Fourth century to make them let up on being Christians, and it worked to a charm. No one who rides in a chair car can ever be a Christian. When we passed Umatilla the con ductor punched me in the ribs, having previously punched my ticket, and told me to move into the car next behind, as it was the one that went to Spokane Falls. I walked up to a stranger that sat in the seat next me, thinking it was F . He was very sound asleep and it took considerable shaking to thor oughly arouse him. I asked him to excuse me, and I am not certain that he did, though I was very polite to him. If he ever sees this explanation of how it happened, I think he will yet. At Pendleton we got breakfast at the railroad lunch counter. Black stuff, alleged to be coffee, and sandwiches, thirty days old that is is the bread was that age ; the deceased steer could not have been less than thirty years old at the time he was assassinated. A poor old man got on the train here, with his wife and two daughters and nine (9) satchels and boxes, besides a dinner basket. The girls were too Droud to help their father carry the baggage, but not quite proud enough to save their poor old sire a few steps, and he had to return to the platform four times to get baggage. "Now oount them up," he said in great excitement, fearing that he would be left. "Hold my coat while I run and get the dinner basket." Sev eral of the passengers suppressed what otherwise would have been a smile. The party were ticketed to Balls Junction, and got off at about every other station. At Walla Walla the conductor asked the old man to please stay on till he was put off. We ran into snow at Echo. At Weston it was five inches deep, but we ran out of it before reachine Walla Walla. In the Palouse country they are be tween hay and grass they are out of hay and not into grass, and. Joseph could see seven lean kine here without going a block. Eli Stout got on the train at Milton and was seated with me to Walla Walla. He says he came to the Walla Walla country with Judge Martin , of Pendle ton, in 1843. The Catholics had a mis sion there for the Nez Perces. Mr. Stout says he was on Hosier creek in 1848 ; that at that time it was called Dog creek. I told him that it was pro perly named, and should be called that yet ; that I lived there and had lost one hundred dollars and fifteen cents worth of dogs on March 6th, last, by blood poisoning one valued at $100 and one valued at 15 cents, or two tor a quarter. Upon cross examination it was brought out that Hood river was called Dog creek, and I'm mighty sorry of it, for I am often asked, "Where do you live?' and I would be proud to be able to faith fully say, "On Dog Creek!" Sworn to and subscribed before me, a notary public, in and for Spokane county, Wash., April 11, 1833. John Pocahontas Smith, Seal. Notary Public. Specimen Cases. S. H. Clifford, New Cassel, Wis., was troubled with neuralgia and rheuma tism, his stomach was disordered, his liver was affected to an alarming de gree, appetite fell away, and he was terribly reduced in flesh and strength. Three bottles of Electric Bitters cured him. Edwd Shepherd, Harrisburg, 111., had a running sore on his leg of eight years' standing. Used three bottles of Electric Bitters and seven boxes of Bucklen's Arnica Salve, and his leg is sound and well. John Speaker, Cataw ba, O., had five large fever sores on his leg, doctors said he was incurable. One bottle Electric Bitters and one box Bucklen's Arnica Salve cured him en tirely.

Persons who are subject to attacks of bilious colic can almost invariably tell, by their feelings, when to expect an' at tack. If Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy is taken as soon as these symptoms appear, they can ward off the disease. Such persons should always keep the Remedy at hand, ready for immediate use when needed. Two or three doses of it at the right time will save them much suffering.

Every time the car passes over a joint in the track there is a distinct click; count the num ber of these clicks in twenty seconds, and it is said you have the number of miles the train is going per hour, as the length cf tc rail is uniform. Gone mad the person with bad blood who's not taking Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. You are bereft of judg ment and good sense if you allow Sour blood to get out of order, your ver sluggish life dull, everything blue, for you may soon find out that you're in the grave or next to it because you did not procure the G. M. D. soon enough, and some dread disease, may be influenza or consumption, may be typhoid or malarial fever, has taken you. Consumption is Lung Scrofula. For Scrofula in its myriad forms, and for all Liver, Blood and Lung dis eases, the "Discovery" is an un equaled remedy. Everybody, now and then, feels " run-down " " played out," with no power to generate vitality, in fact, just too sick to be welL That's where the right kind of medicine comes in, and the "Dis covery" does for a dollar what the doctor wouldn't do for less than five or ten. We claim that nothing like it has been discovered for a blood-purifier. It's guaranteed by the makers. Youl money is returned if it dosen't bene fit or cure you.
