PILOT BOAT RUN DOWN.
Three Pilots and the Cook of James
Gordon Bennett No. 7 Drowned.
NEW YORK, Aug. 17. The German
steamer Alene, now running In the Atlas
branch of the Hamburg-American line,
ran down and sank the pilot-boat James
Gordon Bennett, No. 7, this afternoon,
and drowned three pilots and the cook of
the Bennett The names of those who
lost their lives are:
Pilot Henry Mix, of 6tapleton, S. L
Pilot John Godber, of Brooklyn.
Pilot John Leonard, of Brooklyn.
Cook John Crube, of Stapleton, S. I.
The bodies of Mix a.nd Godber were re
covered. The accident occurred near the
lightship while the pilot-boat was lying
hove to on Sandy Hook Bar, about 10
miles east of Sandy Hook. When the
Alene struck the pilot-boat the weather
was clear. The survivors say the Ger
man steamer came bearing down upon
their vessel and they were totally unable
to avoid her. The whole thing happened
so quickly and unexpectedly that they
were floating in the water before they
realized what had happened. The big
Bteamer struck the other abaft the rigging'
on the starboard side, going through like
-& knife, and cutting her completely in
two.

New Atlantic Steamer Line.
LONDON, Aug. 17 Although little is
known in Ireland with regard to the pro
posed new line of steamers to America,
the project is regarded in that country as
of the utmost importance. In addition to
giving employment to an army of men
on the worsts at Berehaven, the
Irish people say it is quite within the
bounds of probability that the comple
tion of these works will lead to impor
tant railway developments. Certainly a
harbor at Berehaven would be of no use
to the Atlantic liners without an express
railway service to Dublin or some other
port on the east coast of Ireland from
where passengers could make their way
rapidly to London. At present the whole
scheme appears to be very much in the
air.

Given to the Waves.

York and Pensacola.
Not Right to Pnnish Only One of
Many Rioters Politics
Played No Part.
BOISE. Idaho, Aug. 17.-Governor Hunt
today gave out the following as bis rea
sons for voting for the pardon of Paul
Corcoran:
"This Is the first case acted upon by
the Board of Pardons where its decision
has not been unanimous. That the board
failed to reach a united decision in this
case is due to honest differences upon the
merits of the question. Politics has at no
time entered Into the deliberations of the
board, and never will, with my consent.
Corcoran is the only man who was con
victed out of a thousand who joined in
the acts of destruction and violence in the
Coeur d'Alenes in 1S99. Every ringleader
in that mob should have received equal
punishment. In my opinion, the punish
ment he has had Is sufficient to satisfy the
demands of justice, and to convince those
who advocate violence and arson that the
law will not tolerate such practice, and I
believe his further confinement would only
continue to embitter the feeling existing
in the Coeur d'Alenes.
"The object of penal confinement is not
only to cause a wholesome respect for
the law and a fear among the criminal
class, but its most beneficial exercise is
to make a better man of the person suffer
ing such punishment. The board is fully
convinced in the belief that Corcoran
will rather aid in enforcing and assisting
the law hereafter than in defying it.
Nearly 6000 citizens in various parts of the
state petitioned for Corcoran's pardon,
which had some weight with the board.
Another reason that influenced me in this
case was the man's family. A woman dy
ing slowly of grief is an appeal that I can
not look upon without sympathy, but my
principal reason for voting to pardon this
-man Is that it will bring peace and a bet
ter feeling to prevail In a section of the
state that has been torn by disorder and
murder. Many of the men who have been
responsible for thl9 condition have re
moved from the state. Organized labor in
that section of the state is now as firmly
committed to peaceful methods as any
class of people In the state, and although
the violence perpetrated in Its name in
1S99 will always be a stain that cannot be
wiped out, yet I believe the time has come
to extend the clemency In this case that
the law contemplates when sufficient rea
son exists."
age of 159, and vegetables are the princi
pal product. Five of the farms are only
small market gardens of less than three
acres. The total value of domestic ani
mals and poultry was $2196. Potatoes and
turnips furnished the principal Income
from vegetables. Next to vegetables,
grass cut for hay Is the most Important
agricultural product. From the stand
point of Income upon capital invested,
poultry-raising in 1S99 was relatively the
most profitable branch of Alaskan agriculture.

NEWPORT SUMMER SCHOOL.
Term for This Year Is Practically
Closed A Great Success.
NEWPORT, Aug. 17. The Newport Sum
mer school for 1901 is practically closed.
While some of the departments will con
tinue two weeks longer, several classes
quit work with the date set. About. 160
students were enrolled in the class, and
no less than 1800 people attended the popu
lar course of lectures more or less of
the time. The unanimous verdict is that
never in the history of Oregon has there
been placed before the public a stronger
lecture course than the one just closed.
The normal department, under Professor"
Rigler, of Portland, has made it clear that
there is a demand for a Summer normal
school at an accessible popular resort, so
that all teachers can be present at a sea
son when culture and recreation can be
combined. Professor Condon's great
science classes of eight to 10 hackloads of
citizens along the beach have been with
out parallel. The class work in amateur
photography has awakened a taste lor
higher and better attainments with the
camera, Never has there been so much
classical "music in Newport at any one
time. Stenography, art andsclence work'
have been well patronized. Professor
Krohn was called home, so his classes
did not meet, but the department of elo
cution successfully took up this line of
culture.
At a business meeting held yesterday
strong resolutions approving the manage
ment of the various departments were
adopted, and every visiting teacher volun
teered to do missionary work for Newport
as a Summer educational resort.

Meat-Packing Plant Burned.
OLYMPIA, Wash., Aug. 17. The meat
packing plant of Walter Chambers, lo
cated four miles east of Olympia, burned
to the ground this afternoon. The loss
is $10,000, with $5000 Insurance. The plant
was erected in 1SS4 and was complete for
Its size, but had been used largely as a
slaughter house for several years, on
account of the scarcity of meat. The
fire originated in the boiler room after
the workmen had quit for the day, and
the cause is unknown.

The new 90-horsepower boiler is in
place at the plant of the Athena Flour
ing Mill Company. It is a huge affair,
made entirely of steel, and Is composed

the value of the plant, which is up-to-date
in every respect.
Gimple Bros, nave the oldest threshing
machine in Lane County, says the Eugene
Journal. This pioneer separator is running
today and doing first-class work. It was
purchased In 1S67, and has done duty every
season since. It is an old style Buffalo
Pitts, with 36-lnch cylinder, jackwheel,
and a 10 horsepower.
Threshing Is now well under way
throughout the Rogue River Valley, and
from all the information that can be gath
ered the product of this year will be
somewhere around 90,000 bushels, or about
one-half a crop, says the Ashland Tidings.
The lightness of the yield this year is at
tributable to the lack of rain early in
the season, considerable of the acreage
having been cut for grain hay. The wheat
is coming into Ashland in a very good
condition, and 48 cents per bushel is the
present price paid for It.

ENDED HER OWN LIFE.
Woman Found Dead by the Rood
Took an Overdose of Oil of Tansy.
PENDLETON, Or., Aug. 17 Mrs. Sarle
J. Engdahl, who was found dead beside
the road three miles south of Pendleton
last night, caused her own death by tak
ing on overdose of oil of tansy. This,
in substance, was the verdict returned by
the Coroner's jury. Mrs. Engdahl was
a book canvasser. She had been riding
in a road cart, bound towards McKay
Creek, having just left the home of H.
H.'Hoopes, where she had dined. The body
was found by J. S. Holmes.
Mrs. Engdahl had lived here for some
time. She had recently obtained a di
vorce from her husband, Frank. The
testimony of several witnesses before the
Coroner's jury was that she frequently
uttered complaints about hard work of
a book convasser, and the poor results
of her labors. She had said she would
be better off deid, saying she had spent
her money making the home which her
husband got when she secured a divorce
from him. The testimony showed that she
took a large dose of strychnine a few
months ago, being saved by the prompt
administering of .an antidote by a woman
living in the same house. She had often
complained of pains in her head. The
vial of oil of tansy found on her person
showed that she had taken many times
the usual dose, which is one drop.

ure to every Intending purchaser of a piano to go to a firm that has been
established in business for over 25 years, and who are REPUTATION
BUILDERS, and be able to select from the largest stock of high-grade
instruments of any music house on the Coast. In fact, there is no other
house in the United States that carries as large a line to select from as
we do, and In addition to this, our prices and terms are right. Being whole
sale and retail dealers, we are large buyers, receiving from one to four cars
of pianos per week, and as styles and designs in cases are constantly
changing, you will ever find something new to select from if you buy of us.

There is no such condition as weakness In a man under 50 years of
age, other than general debility. In a stomach damaged by an ulcer or
inflammation, symptoms of disordered function arise. Prematureness. loss
of vitality and the disorders known as "weakness" are but symptoms of
some damage to the reproductive system, caused by a contracted disorder
or early dissipation. In looking for the location of this damage we gen
erally find an enlarged, swollen and Inttamed prostate gland. As this gland
is the very center of the reproductive system, it can readily be understood
that inflammation of it must cause disordered function. These cases are
promptly benefited by proper treatment, orthcrwise the patient goes from
- bad to worse. The essential point in all of them Is the necessity of the
cure of the focus of the trouble in the prostate. Many men have unsuc
cessfully treated for a weakness which never existed, when, if the dam
aged tract' had been repaired a cure would have been the result. In our
experience there is no drug In the Pharmacopeia, taken Into the stomach,
that will even benefit this class of cases. Our plan of treatment Is entire
ly a local one, and prompt results are obtained, as indicated by increased
circulation and return of natural vigor.

Varicocele Is an enlargement of the most vital blood vessels in man. In
their normal condition, their function is to carry off waste material, thus
enabling the organs to receive freah nutrition. Owing to the breaking down
of the valves, caused by the paralysis of the muscular coat of the veins,
they become dilated and local stagnation of the blood follows. The vital
organs, being deprived of their proper quality and quantity of nourishment,
impaired function is the result, statistics prove that 23 per cent of the
male population are afflicted with varicocele in some stage of the disease.
We guarantee to cure varicocele in one week at our office, or four weeks
of home treatment, without the use of knife, caustic or ligature. We have
cured over 3000 cases without a single failure or unpleasant result. We In
