HANGING TOO GOOD FOR SUCH.
Yesterday a man was sentenced in
this city to two years in the peniten
tiary for the crime of importing a
woman into Alaska for criminal pur
poses. Evidence showed that she
was duped when a mere Kirl. brought
into a strange land and among peo
ple whose language she could not un
derstand. She was kept In terror
through physical violence and forced
to associate with people of beastly
mlnds and habits. After a whl'e of
course she became callous to her con
dition and accepted it as inevitable.
She first endured, then pitied, and
becoming familiar with the sight of
sin, embraced it; even as you and I
would do.
The law now looks after the man.
He will be cared for by the govern
ment and placed for a time at least j
where he can do no more violence to!
public morals. The woman, through
all the weary days of sin. has kept
eltve a little spark of virtue's fire,
which if but breathed up by the ten
der breath of love, may flame Into
generous womanhood. Her willing
Less to testify shows a desire for
better things. She will be returned
to her home In Prance and there giv
en an opportunity, let us hope.
The case is but one of thousands
which come yearly to the notice of
the immigration officers. The ins
pector here is especially desirous of
breaking up the gang of organized pr
curers who have agents In every city
in the world that are more baneful
to society by their studied arts of
damnable deceit than all the black
Uaad societies that ever Infested the
world. Shakespeare describes these
panders as doorkeepers to hell, and
we swear worse than that whenever
we see one of them polluting a decen
c< win unity with his presence. If the
immigration officers send every man
to Jail who attempts to live off the
earnings of unfortunate girls, they
will contribute greatly toward the so
lutlon of the eoclal question.? Ketch- 1

HOW TO KILL YOUR TOWN.
The first rule laid down by the De
troit Free Press la to buy of peddlers
as much as possible.
Denounce your merchants because
they make a profit on their goods.
Glory in the downfall of a man who
has done much to build up the town.
Make your town out a bad place and
?tab it every chance you get.
Refuse to unite in any scheme for
the betterment of the material inter
ests of the people.
Tell your merchants that you can
buy goods a great deal cheaper in
some other town and charge them
with extortion.
If a stranger comes to your town
tell him every thing is overdone and
predict a general crash in the town
in the near future.
Keep up divided public sentiment
cn the best method of increasing bus
iness.
When you have anything to say of
your town say it In such a way that
will leave the impression that you
have no faith In It.
Patronize outside newspapers to
the exclusion of your own, and then
denounce yours for not being as large
?nd cheap as the city papers.
If you are a merchant don't adver
tise in the home paper, but buy a
rubber stamp and use It. It may save
you a *ew dimes and make your letter
heads and wrapping paper look as
though you were doing business In a
one-horse town.
If you are a farmer curse the place
where you trade as the meanest on
earth. Talk this to your neighbor
and tell him the business men are
zobbers and thieves. It will make
your property much less valuable but
then you don't care. ? Kx.
According to advauced medical sci
ence laziness Is a disease caused by
tho "hook-worm." Recently a Phila
delphia kleptomaniac was cured by an
operation which lifted a portion of
bis skull which pressed upon his
brain. Sluggish livers and weak stou
achs cause pessimism. A man's first |
duty is to keep well. Probably his
mental and moral habits will take
care of themselves.
When a righteous man turneth away
from his righteousness and commit
teth Iniquity and dieth in them; for
his iniquity that he hath done he
shall die.- -Ksekiel, is ? -ti.

GOODBY.
OODBY. proud world. I'm going home.
Thou urt not iny friend, and I'm not
thine.
Long through thy weary crowds I roam.
A river ark on the occan brine.
Long I've been tossed like the driven
foam.
But now-, proud world. I'm going home.
OODBY to Flattery's fawning face.
To Grandeur with his wise grimace.
To upstart Wealth's averted eye.
To supple Office, low and high;
To crowded halls, to court and street.
To frozen hearts and hasting feet.
To those who go and those who come.
Goodby, proud world! I'm going home.
I'M going to my own hearthstone.
Bosomed In yon green hills alone?
A secret nook In a pleasant land.
Whose groves the frolic fairies planned.
Where arches green the livelong day
Echo the blackbird's roundelay
And vulgar feet have never trod.
A spot that Is sacred to thought and God.
OH, when I am safe In my sylvan homo
I tread on the pride of Greece and
Rome,
And when I am stretched beneath the
pines
Where the evening star so holy shines
I laugh at the lore and the pride of man.
At the sophist schools und the learned
clan,
For what are they all In their high con
celt
When man In the bush with God may
meet?
?Ralph Waldo Kmeraon.

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your
Troubles.
Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from a lame,
weak or aching back they think that
it Is only muscular weakness; when
urinary trouble sets In they think It
will soon correct Itself. And so It
is with all tho other symptoms
of kidney disorders. Tha* is
where the danger lies. You must
cure tu?se troubles or they may lead
to diabetes or Brlght's disease. The
best remedy to use Is Doan's Kidney
Pills. It cures all Ills which are caus
ed by weak or diseased kidneys. Re??
ldents of this vicinity are constantly
testifying to permanent cures.
H. It. McCarver, 268 Holliday St.,
Portland, Ore., says;
"Some years ago Doan's Kidney
Pills proved of great benefit to nie
and I publicly recommend them.
Since that time I have advised many
of my fellow workmen to give them
a trial and the results of their use
have been satisfactory In every Inst
ance. I believe kidney trouble anil
backache In my case was brought on
by a cold. I had always been skeptic
al regarding proprietary medicines
fcu" somehow what I read about
Doan's Kidney Pills impressed me so
much that I began their use. Relief
soon followed and I have had no ser
ious return of kidney complaint
since."

A CURIOUS CHIMNEY.
One In Walee Two Mile* High With a
Brook Running Through It.
Who ever heard of a chimney two
mllea high with a brook running
through It? Yet such a chimney exists
In connection with the copper works
at Cwiuavon, near Aberavon, In Gla
morganshire, south Wales. This is how
it came to be built:
About sixty years ago the copper
smoke from these works was the
plague of the neighboring countryside.
It settled upon and destroyed the
grass for twenty miles round, while
the sulphur and arsenic In the fumes
affected the hoofs of cattle, causing
gangrene. The owners of tho works
tried all sorts of devices to remedy the
trouble, but in vain. Finally Robert
Brenton. who was afterward a suc
cessful railway engineer in India, solv
ed the problem.
The copper works are nt the foot of
a steep hill. Mr. Brenton constructed
a flue, or chimney, running continu
ously from the base to about a hun
dred feet above the Rummit. following
the natural slope of the ground. The .
brick which lined it and of which it
was largely constructed was burned
close by. A small spring gushing out
near the summit of the hill was turned
Into the chimney aud allowed to flow
through almost its entire length to
condense the smoke. Once a year it is
swept out and ubout a ton of precipi
tated copper obtained. Its top can be
seen for between forty ftnd fifty miles.
