m $fa mltj IMtotfmt. ASTOBIA. OKEGOtf: THURSDAY....,,. ...NOVEMBER 14, 18S9. The recent discovery by a New England chemist of a chean method of dissolving zinc by combining it -with hydrogen is regarded as a most valu able one. The product is a solution called zinc--water, and? has the pro perty of making wood to which it has been applied absolutely fire-proof, and at a very low cost. Nag's Head is situated north of Albemarle sound, and derives its name from the custom of a former in habitant, by trade a wrecker, who used to tie a lantern to his horse's head on stormy nights and ride the animal up and down the coast to give vessels in the offing the idea that an other raft was cruising nearer shore and that consequently there was plenty of rea room. There is a tremendous awakening going on at present throughout this country, and development is going on at a greatly increased rate. ' The com ing of the railroad is of course the primary cause of the present impetus, the first effect of which is the acquis tion of property at greatly increased values. Timber land, agricultural land, city and subnrbau lots, are all in the most active demand, the most notable phase of that demand being that until the desiro for the purchase of.property is partially filled the more enduring needs of the country will be partially ignored. This is perfectly natural and in a measnre as it should be. for the value of real estate is the universal criterion by which the value of a section is judged. There is tins important difference between the eph emeral "booms" of southern California, rtnd the steady and justifiable advance in values in this section, that in south ern California there was, and from the very nature of things could be nothing but barren results, while witv this section there are all the na tural conditions required to make a great country. Southern California had nothing to develep: this country has everything required for the seat of empire. In southern California when land had got so high that it was im possible to "unload" it on anybody any further, the end of the world came, as far as values were concerned, and bank ruptcy was the inevitable result In this great uorthern empire, the ltof commerce, rich in all that makes a country rjch, there can be no halt nor.retrograde mevement: the ad vance will be a constant and steady one. HE TOOK THE WRONG MEDICINE. Kobert Stewart, of Petaluma, reoontly had a queer experience. Ho writes: "Carbuncle end bolls afflicted my face and neck for weeks. Finally I procured a bottle of one of tho leading sarsaparfllas. To my Eurprlsa It made mattera worse. This made mo lose faith in EarsapariUas, but seeing a Etatement that Joy's Yegstablo Sarsaparllla dried up bolls and faco eruptions Instead of forcing moroout as the potash sarsapariHas do, I bought a bottle. Tho effect was aston ishing. Thocarbunclesandboilsbegantodry up, and in two weeks my faco wac -well and Emooth'asover. My brother also took a bottle with tho samo benefit Robert Stewabt, "Petaluma, CaL" JExplanatory Note Tho mineral iodide of potash, -which is the basis of nearly all other EarsapariUas, attacks tho blood direct, hence forces impurities through tho akin, creating more boils and Temples. Joy's Vegetable Sar saparllla acts oppositely. Its vegetable alter atives stimulate tho various secretive organs Aand thus eliminate all Impurities through tho natural channels., hence dries un pimples and Bkin eruptions at once. Tho above testimon ial is a C&so in point . It costs $1,500 to load and fire one of Krapp's latest contrivances for the destruction of human life and prop erty. A Sound Legal Opinion; KBalnbridce Munday Esn., Countv Atty., Clay Co., Texas says: '-llaveused Electric Bitters with most happs' re sults. My brother also was very low with Malarial Fever and Jaundice, but was cured by timely use of this medi cine. Am satisfied Electric Bitters saved his lire." Mr. D. I. Wilcozsou, of Horse Cave, Kv.. adds a like testimony, saving: He postively believes he would have died had it not been lor .Electric Hitters. This great remedy will ward oiF, as well as cure all Malaria Diseases, and for all Kidney, Liver and Stomach Dis orders stands unequaled. Price 50 cents and 1, atJnoU.Demems.

CWlOren Cry forPitclier's Castoria TELEGRAPHIC Specials to Tlie Astorian. Kansas Citt, Nov. 13. The sena torial committee to investigate the Paoific railroads arrived here this morning. They were delayed by snowstorms in Austin, Kansas; they spent the day inspecting the Union Pacific terminals here. THE CBOSXX CASE. Chicago. Nov. 13. In' the Cronin case this morning Judge McOonnell decided that the evidence as to the trial and expulsion of Dr. Cronin from Clan-na-Gael in 1885 was not admis sable. Nothing of importance was de veloped by witnesses to-day and an early recess was taken. The impres sion is that the states evidene'e is all in. DAM SWEPT AWAY. Ontario, Nov. 13. This morning the dam at McClullins flouring mill, a mile west of here, broke and the water swept down toward the town carry ing away six mill dams and four bridges and wrecking a half a dozen mills and several dwellings. The house of an old couple named Harris was carried away, both occupants were drowned and many, other resi dents had a narrow escape. HELPED BUILD THE SCAFFOLD. Woodbury, N. Y., Nov. 13. Joseph M. Hillman was hanged here this morning for the murder of Peddler Herman Seidman. He assisted the workmen yesterday in putting up the scaffold. A PBOPOSED CONFEDERATION. Pabis, Nov. 13. The Guatemalan, minister, in an interview stated that a draft of a protocol for a federal union of Guatemala, San Salvador, Hon duras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica had been signed but required ratification by congresses of the five countries. He knew nothing of a report that the smaller states insisted that Guat amala be divided into two states to prevent preponderance of power. JOS. COMES DOWN. Portland, Nov. 13. Joseph Holla day agreed to-day to come to terms in his contempt case, he will pay a nom inal nne ana let tne property oe soiea on execution according to the general desire. A BOY CRAZED BY RELIGION. Chattanooga, Tenn., Nov. 13. A sensation has been created in this city by Johnny waiters, a boy 12 years of age. becoming violently insane on the subject of religion. He was consid ered a bright, intelligent lad when he was converted about a year ago, but soon afterward he began to show signs-. of insanity, and has now become vio lent His particular hallucination is that he is to be translated liko Elijah, and he goes around the neighborhood preaching and exhorting the neigh bors to prepare for death. He will be sent to an asylum at once, and will be tne youngest; patient ever receivea at the insane asylum in this state. NORTH DAKOTA FARMERS. Minnewauken, N. Dak., Nov. 13. The people of Benson county, North Dakota, represent an element which has suffered less from drouth and frost than have those living north of Devil's lake, but they will require aid, and such aid will bo most grate fully accepted. On approaching the Northern Pacific road from the north, the country shows evidence oj pros perity not found in Ramsey, Nelson or Roilete. A correspondent saw in a drive of thirty miles, stacks of grain and hay, which afforded substan tial indications that the people in the houses and the cattlo and horses on the outside would not suffer during the coming winter. But so large a proportion of this apparent prosperity is so shad owed by chattel mortgages that it is almost impossible to say, judging from outside appearances, how capa ble a family is to pull through the coming season. There are fat cattle, hogs and horses in this locality in abundance. Still there is in fact no market for them. Hay sells on an average of $5 a ton. This seems a low price, but it must be remembered that 85 here just now is worth $10 in St. Paul. In the Turtle Mountain country, about seventy miles north west of this point, there is plenty of hay. Farmers from Ramsey, Nelson, Towner and Benson counties are send ing their cattle to that locality. The commissioners of Benson county will accept and receipt for any aid which may be consigned to them. Already they have made arrangements for re ceiving and distributing flour and coal. The railway officials of both the Northern Pacific and Manitoba roads will furnish free transportation for such assistance. Quite a number of the young men of this locality will, in parties of five, go to what is known as the Seljcoulee county. They will receive work from the railway com panymen with teams at 54 and men without teams 82. The people show a strong desire to pluckily remain and conquer all of their present troubles. Gram is low, cattle are low, provisions are high. This is not a country where garden produce is successfully culti vated. It is no doubt true that peo ple who came here two years ago and invested their all in the business of wheat growing have lived beyond their means, and anticipated their prospects. They have purchased high priced machinery and, in conse quence, fallen into the hands of the loan agency and the chattel mortgag ers. But their cattle and horses are fat, their lands strong and productive. The mistakes of the past will undoubt edly be avoided in the future, but they do require help just at present From all that can be learned, that help will be extended to them, and so uiamuuiea mat me aeservmg win re ceive it.

And Many Anxious Timber Land Claimants. "Why don't you make an article about these timber land people?" asked the hotel clerk. The reporter looked up from tho register, and pleaded ignorance. "Why, thero arc 100 men in this town to-day looking for buyers for their timber land entries. There are twenty-four in one bunch stopping here with us. Tho way it comes about," he went on to explain, "is this. You know there have been adver tisements printed asking for men to locate on government timberland. Well, there have been a great many to accept the offers of these agents. The bargain made is simply in the nature of an understanding that when the settler has proved up on his claim the agent will pay him, say 81000 for it. 'The settlers are generally at an ex pense of 100 for filing, fees, board, etc. Then their land costs them 8400 when they prove' up. After a man makes his final proof he is allowed about ten days to rustle up his money. Well, now, these men, you see, have made their proof and are ready to re ceive their 81000 from the agent. But he says, 'Oh, 1 can't pay you over 8600 for that claim. You see, claims have come down a good deal in the past three months. This banch of twenty-four men took their land over in the Tillamook country and proved up a week ago. So there are three courses left open to them to keep the land, to sell it to the agent for 8600, or to find a higher bidder." "What's the matter with keeping them?" ''That is my advice to all that are able to do so. I have watched this business pretty closely, and am con fident that in six or nine months these lands are going to be worth big money. But, of course, there are lots of themen who haven't the ready rino to pay the land office for their claim. Their only show is to borrow. These land loan agents charge in every case a bonus of 875, and intesest. Their rate of interest is one-tenth of the princi pal for a sixty day loan. You can readily seethat land paid for in this way, and with a renewed obligation every sixty days, would be like the horse that eats his head off two or three times every year. "So the men want to sell to some one else, if they don't get more than 8650, that is a 850 advance on their investment, rather than lose their land and be out their expense money." Oregonian, 13. Catarrh Es a constitutional and not a local disease and therefore It cannot be cured by local ap plications. It requires a constitutional rem Bdy like Hood's Sarsaparllla, whlcli, working through tho blood, eradicates tne Impurlt which causes and promotes tho disease, and Catarrh effects a permanent cure. Thousands oi people testily to the success of Hood's Sarsa parllla as a remedy for catarrh when othei preparations had failed. Hood's Sarsaparllli also bulld3 up the whole system, and makes you feel renewed In health and strength. Catarrh "I used Hood's Sarsaparllla for catarrh and received great relief and benefit from It The catarrh was very disagreeable, especially la tho winter, causing constant discharge Iron my nose, ringing noises in my ears, and pain: la the hack of my head. The effect to cleai Catarrh my head In the morning by hawking and spit ting was painful. Hood's Sarsaparllla gave me relief immediately, while In time I wa: fntlrely cured. I am never without Hood'i Sarsaparllla in my house as 1 think it Is wort! Us weight in gold." 51ns. G. B. Gibb, 102! Eighth Street, N.-W., "Washington, D. C.
