RIDGEWAY THEATER. "Red Feather." The company that Manager Job. If, Gaites huH organized for this season's presentation ol the Ziefeld Opera Co.'s gorgeous production of the romantic comic opera, " Red Feather, " which comee to the Ridgewa; February 14, is entirely adequate in every way. The scenery in known to be magnificent; the music thrilling and full of snap and fire, and bent of all the singern are superior to any that cnn be found out- side of grand opera. Cheri- dah Simpson, for several sea- sons prinia don na of various Henry W. Sav- age operas, will be at the head of the company of seventy, which includes a known and pop- ular comedians and a large ensemble of singers. Kven the chorus, it is said, wan chosen with absolute judgment aB to voice and qualities, and in personal ap- pearance is all that can be desired. The great success that "Ked Feather" has made seems to prove that real comic opera is as much appreciated as ever, now that the reign of musical comedy has come to an end. "Ked Feather" is the result of the combined labors of Reginald DcKovea and ('has. Klein. Of the uniform excellence of Mr. DeKovens music it is htinlly necessary to speak, beyond saving that musical critics of tbe country agree that this is the best that he has turned out since "Robin Bood." The book is by ('harles Klein, author of David Wartield's great success "The Music Master," and also "The Lion and the Mouse, 1' both of which plays are still drawing enormous crowds in New York. The lyrics are by Charles Emerson Cook, a Belasco protege. In addition to a large company of singers and comedians, the company carries its own orchestra, which is additional proof of the importance of this production. number of well Pioneer Hardware Store. The naif 1 of The Kuhn Hardware Co. stock to Win. Ericson & Son, announced thin week, recalls the history of one of pioneer establishments of Colfax. The business was started in 1877 by H. W. Livingstone. In April, 1878, Leon Kuhn came to Colfax and bought a half interest in the store, the tirm of Living- stone & Kuhu being formed. The busi- ness was conducted by this firm for about 17 years, when Livingstone bought Kuhn's interest and operated it alone until January, 1902, when it was sold to The Kuhn Hardware Co., now succeeded by Win. Kricson & Son, re- cently from La Grande, Oregon. The Snyder Home Sold. Last week J. W Snyder sold his fit c residence and one lot and half of an other to William Kricsnn, who recently became the purchaser of the Kuhn Hard ware Co.'s store. The residence is on Mill wtreet, at the head of Upton, and is one of the line homes of Colfax. The price paid was $5000, Mr. Snyder retain ing a lot and a half on which the barn stands. It is understood that Mr. and Mrs Snyder with their children will soon take a trip to Southern California with the view of remaining should that part of the world meet with their pleasurp, otherwine they may return to old Whit man better contenred. Old Official Resumes Duties. W. A. White arrived Monday from Pa Inline and is officially installed in the office of the sheriff as deputy. Mr. White will be office deputy and more partieu larly have charge of prisoners confined in the county jail. His family also ar- rived with him, and are comfortably in- Htalled in the basement of the court houee. Mr. White was formerly a deputy in the clerk's office, having 8 rved in that capacity from 1891 to 1895, hence he feeln somewbat at home around the court house. Washington and Lincoln's Birthday. Nathaniel Lvon Post, G. A. R., and the Woman* Relief Corpn announce that they will celebrute Washington and Lin- coln's birthday on Saturday evening. February IG, at Grand Army hall with an open meeting. A special invitation is extended to veterans of the civil war and their families, as well as to the Spanish American war veterans. Seve- ral speeches will be delivered and good music furnished for the occasion. Manager Jot.. M. Gaites was fortunate in securing Miss Cheridah Simpson to hend the big singing organization which will present the notable comic opera suc- cess '"Red Feather" this season. For the past three years Miss Simpson has been singing the principal roles with Henry W. Savage's "King Dodo," "Sul- tan of Sulu" and "Prince of Pilsen" companies. Neighbors Got Fooled. "I was literally coughing myself to death, and had become too weak to leave my bed; and neighbors predicted that I would never leave it alive; but they got fooled, for thanks be to God, I was in- duced to try Dr. King's New Discovery. It took just four one dollar bottles to completely cure the cough and restore me to good sound health," writes Mrs. Eva Uncapher, of Grovertown, Stark Co., Ind. This King of cough and cold cures, and healer of throat and lunge, is guar- anteed by V. T. McCroskey & Bro., Druggists. 50c and $1.00. Trial bottle free. MARRIED. COLFAX OAZETTK, CoLFAX, WASHfypTOy, FEBRUAKY 8, 1907. TOM BATY SENT TO ASYLUM. Killed His Horses and Intended to Kill Himself. Tom Baty, for about 27 years a resi- dent of Colfax and a familiar tigure on our streets, was examined hn to his san- ity Tuesday forenoon and ordered sent to the asylum at Medical Lake. He made his home in a hut with a rude stable attached, on the Livingstone place on the Almota road, about a mile from the business center of town. He made a living by doing odd jobs, sometimes em- ploying bis horses to help out, always keeping a team of work animals, besides having a few colts which he was raising. About three weeks ago he sold three colts, keeping two horses. The parting with the colts seemed to trouble the old man a great deal. In talking with friends he would shed tf-ars because he had sold his pets. Nothing serious was thought of this, the people thinking it was the approach of senility and that his tender feelings lor hi* pets would soon pass away. Monday afternoon of this week, however, he took a gun and shot and kill- ed his two remaining horses. Word reached town Tuesday morning and Sheriff Katliff went at once to the old man's home and brought him to town. It developed at this time that he intend- ed to kill himself and be shot the horses because he thought so much of them and did not wish to leave them to the cold charities of the world. He was examined before Judge Chadwick, with the result above stated, and is now at Medical Lake. Mr. Baty was an eccentric character. He lived alone in his humble abode on the hill, his horses being his sole com- panions, on which he lavished all the affections of his nature. He is 79 years of age, but active for a man of his years In nature he was independent, refusing charity in any shape, not even accepting a meal of victuals ifit bore the stamp of charity. Neighbors wishing to lighten bin burdens and to do him a favor had to use diplomacy in order to get him to accept it. Furthermore, he was honest, sober and industrious, and auy work he engaged to do was religiously attended to, although he wafi aH liable to doit at the dead of night as during midday. Of his early life no one seems to know. He told one of his neighbors that he left home when 19, went to Minnesota, where he lived for a time, going to Cali- fornia, thence to Oregon, finally reaching this part of Washington, where his home has been for the past 27 years. February 2, 1907, at the Methodist parsonage in Colfax, Arthur C. Browu of Sprague and Edytfa 11. lie Gee of Oakesdale, Rev. H. B. Elworthy om'eiat- mg. The happy couple will make their home iv Pullman for some time, where Mr. Brown is to complete his course in veterinary science at the Washington State College, and Wins McGee in the music course. The groom is 22 years old and the bride 21. The young couple have been lovers for three years, and their marriage closes an incident that took place at Moscow two weeks ago, which contained a few sensational iuci dmts, probably greatly exuguerated. It is a saying from the pen of Shakespeare that true love never runs smooth, but from the name source we are told that all ifl well th'*t ends well, which seems to have been the case in this particular, and let us hope that it may ever con- tinue. Brown-McGee. Uh rich-Anderson. Colfax, February 4, at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. H. Harper, by Rev. Father Laroux, Frederick A. Mhrich of Lewiston, Idaho, and Miss Lillian An- derson of Colfax. Mth.

The happy couple have gone to Seattle to live, where Mr. TThrich will enter the employ of the Sunset Tele- phone Co. Strevy- Holden. Colfax, February 6, at the home of John White, by Rev. J. H. Bainton, Fred Clyde Strevy and Eliza May Uolden, both of Colfax. A Good Citizen Gone. George A. Felch, who died at his home near Colfax, January '25, 1907, aged 59 years, was born at Burlington, Wis. He removed with his parents to southern Minnesota in 1805. which was his home until the year 1900, when he came to Colfax. He leaves a wife and seven chil- dren. His many friends testify to his genial disposition and upright life. Death of Miss Bryan. Miss Flora Bryan died at Spokane Wednesday morning from the effects of blood poisoning. She was 17 years of age. The body will arrive here today and the funeral services will take place at the Christian church. Blood poison- ing set in from a slight scratch on the face, aggravated by erysipelas. DeKoven Klein and Cook's famous opera "Red Feather" will be the attrac- tion at the Ridgeway Theater February 14. The music is by Reginald DeKoven, composer of "Robin Hood;" Charles Kb in, who wrote "The Music Master" and "The Lion and The Mouse," furnished the libretto; and Charles Emerson Cook, a IMaeeo protege, contributed the lyrics. The editor of the Memphis, Term., "Times" writes: "In my opinion Foley's Honey and Tar is the best remedy for coughs, colds and lung trouble, and to my own personal knowledge Foley's Honey and Tar has accomplished many permanent cures that have been little short of marvelous."

Maurer. and the sophomores went out to Mr. Nelson's. The juniors viHited the home of Mr. Strickler Friday night, atd the freshmen finished the series Tuesday. A communication has juet been re- ceived from the State University asking if Colfax will ntill be on the accredited list of Hiirh schools for that university. This will undoubtedly be true. A new Latin chart has just been re- ceived. It will be used in Mr. Morfords Latin classes. High School. Mr. Peraon has begun practice for the athletic entertainment to be given next spring and it* trying, if possible, to make this entertainment better than the one given last year.

According to statistics there are over 200,- --000 miles of main railway track in the United States, and during the paat year the south- west showed the greatest increase in miles of new track. It means that this section is mak- ing the largest growth in population aud busi- ness of any quarter of the country. The won- derful record of cures being made by the famous Hostetter's Stomach Bitters prove be- yond all doubt that it id a most wonderful medicine. Hundreds of persons who were sickly for years have been restored to robust health by using the Bitters If you suffer from poor appetite, vomiting, heartburn, bloating, flatulency, indigeatian, dyspepsia, costiveness, female ills, chills, colds, grippe or malaria the Bitterß will cure you and n.ake you well again.

Cures Without Stomach Dosing. Inquiry at the local drug stores shows that the sale of remedies for catarrh has decreased very much in the last year. Some medicines which were formerly bought a gross at a time are now pur chased in half dozen lots, and are rarely called for. There is one notable exception to this decrease in sale, and that is Hyomei. This remedy is, in fact, responsible for the decrease in sale of catarrh medicines, as it has made so many cures of catarrhal troubles that naturally there is much less demand for remedies for that disease. People who have been trying different medicines for catarrh during many years were induced to begin the use of Hyomei by Y. T. McCroskey & Bro's guarantee, that the remedy would cost nothing un- less cured. Much to their surprise, they found that Hyomei did what it claimed (if it did not V. T. McOoskey & Bro could not sell it under this guarantee) and they soon become ardent advocates of the use of Hyomei. There is no disagreeable stomach dos- ing with Hyomei; it is used by being breathed through a neat pocket inhaler. The complete outfit costs but one dollar, extra bottles, if needed, fifty cents. With every Hyomei outfit V. T. Mc- Croskey & Bro. give their personal guar- antee that the money will be refunded unless the treatment cures, so that you run no risk at all in buying this reliable remedy.

COLFAX OAZETTK, CoLFAX, WASHfypTOy, FEBRUAKY 8, 1907.TOM BATY SENT TO ASYLUM.

Killed His Horses and Intended toKill Himself.

Tom Baty, for about 27 years a resi-dent of Colfax and a familiar tigure onour streets, was examined hn to his san-ity Tuesday forenoon and ordered sentto the asylum at Medical Lake. Hemade his home in a hut with a rudestable attached, on the Livingstone placeon the Almota road, about a mile fromthe business center of town. He made aliving by doing odd jobs, sometimes em-ploying bis horses to help out, alwayskeeping a team of work animals, besideshaving a few colts which he was raising.About three weeks ago he sold threecolts, keeping two horses. The partingwith the colts seemed to trouble the oldman a great deal. In talking withfriendshe would shed tf-ars because he had soldhis pets. Nothing serious was thoughtof this, the people thinking it was theapproach of senility and that his tenderfeelings lor hi* pets would soon passaway. Monday afternoon of this week,however, he took a gun and shot and kill-ed his two remaining horses. Wordreached town Tuesday morning andSheriff Katliff went at once to the oldman's home and brought him to town.It developed at this time that he intend-ed to kill himself and be shot the horsesbecause he thought so much of them anddid not wish to leave them to the coldcharities of the world. He was examinedbefore Judge Chadwick, with the resultabove stated, and is now at MedicalLake.

Mr. Baty was an eccentric character.He lived alone in his humble abode onthe hill, his horses being his sole com-panions, on which he lavished all theaffections of his nature. He is 79 yearsof age, but active for a man of his yearsIn nature he was independent, refusingcharity in any shape, not even acceptinga meal of victuals if it bore the stamp ofcharity. Neighbors wishing to lightenbin burdens and to do him a favor hadto use diplomacy in order to get him toaccept it. Furthermore, he was honest,sober and industrious, and auy work heengaged to do was religiously attendedto, although he wafi aH liable to doitat the dead of night as during midday.Of his early life no one seems to know.He told one of his neighbors that he lefthome when 19, went to Minnesota,where he lived for a time, going to Cali-fornia, thence to Oregon, finally reachingthis part of Washington, where his homehas been for the past 27 years.

The happy couple will make theirhome iv Pullman for some time, whereMr. Brown is to complete his course inveterinary science at the WashingtonState College, and Wins McGee in themusic course. The groom is 22 yearsold and the bride 21. The young couplehave been lovers for three years, andtheir marriage closes an incident thattook place at Moscow two weeks ago,which contained a few sensational iucidmts, probably greatly exuguerated. Itis a saying from the pen of Shakespearethat true love never runs smooth, butfrom the name source we are told thatall ifl well th'*t ends well, which seems tohave been the case in this particular,and let us hope that it may ever con-tinue.

CATARRH GROWING LESS.Due to the Use of Hyomei. Cures

Without Stomach Dosing.

Inquiry at the local drug stores showsthat the sale of remedies for catarrh hasdecreased very much in the last year.Some medicines which were formerlybought a gross at a time are now purchased in half dozen lots, and are rarelycalled for.

There is one notable exception to thisdecrease in sale, and that is Hyomei.This remedy is, in fact, responsible forthe decrease in sale of catarrh medicines,as it has made so many cures ofcatarrhal troubles that naturally thereis much less demand for remedies forthat disease.

People who have been trying differentmedicines for catarrh during many yearswere induced to begin the use of Hyomeiby Y. T. McCroskey & Bro's guarantee,that the remedy would cost nothing un-less cured. Much to their surprise, theyfound that Hyomei did what it claimed(if it did not V. T. McOoskey & Brocould not sell it under this guarantee)and they soon become ardent advocatesof the use of Hyomei.

There is no disagreeable stomach dos-ing with Hyomei; it is used by beingbreathed through a neat pocket inhaler.The complete outfit costs but one dollar,extra bottles, if needed, fifty cents.

With every Hyomei outfit V. T. Mc-Croskey & Bro. give their personal guar-antee that the money will be refundedunless the treatment cures, so that yourun no risk at all in buying this reliableremedy.
