ALASKA'S WILD FOWL. Mitchell's Amendment for Their Pro tection. The amendment Senator Mitchell, of Oregon, inserted in the sundry civil bill, may lead to some interesting results and also cause further international complications, similar to those over Behring tea, as a part of the appropriation for protecting salmon fisheries in Al aska. There is a provision by which the secretary of the treasury is authorized to eend an inspector to investigate and report upon the taking and destruction of the eggs of wild fowls, and alleged wanton destruction of game birds, deer, fcx and other animals in Alaska. A report is also asked as to what method should be taken to prevent such destruction in future. It ap pears the Canadian poacher, not content with the destruction of seale, is playing havoc in the wilds of Alaska, where game birds make nests in the summer and rear their oung. inese eggs nave been found valuable in the man ufacture of ceTa:n articles, and are taken by thotiand. While poach- ers are at wont iney every thing that comes along. Ihere has been a perceptible falling off in the number of game Dims on the Pacific coast, Slid an, investiga tion of the cases led to tiiC . discov ery ot this new form of poaclmi&. It is believed by Senator Mitchell that an official report on what the people of the Pacific coast have dis covered will lead to legislation " to prevent further poaching. Lemons and C.'t.ic Acid a Cure for . Diphtheria. The excellent results obtained by LTJiepine, Abotie, Loeffler, Bab es and Ferran with the disinfecting properties of lemon juice and cit ric acid, induced Hugo Laser to try the antiseptic action of the lat ter on the diphtheria bacculus. Af ter extensive experiments on guinea pigs have given remarkable results (a live per cent solution of citric acid killing the baccillus) ho used the same on his patients a 20 per cent solution of citric acid did not have a cauterizing but a, stringent effect. Of fifteen diphtheria cases in which lemon, juice and citric acid were solely used, fourteen were on an average cured in three days, only one very advanced case result ed fataily. , .; . . .. In seventeen casies of croup a perfect cure was obtained in one to two days. The treatments were as follows:, -?'-i xt-. :!' "-i". . . One teaspoon of a 5 ti 10 per cent solution or citric acid to a glass of water was used as a gargle, and some was also given internal ly, to older children a teaspoonful and to younger ones a teaspoonful every one to two hours. Besides, the children ate lemons or drank lemon juice in water. . t. It is hoped th'at this cheap, sim ple remedy will be moro extensive ly tried and will become a boon to suffering humanity. .; . The medicinal quality of the lemon has long been known, not ily as a curative agent of all kinds of dipCasQs, but as an excellent pre ventative, ana it tms iruit was more extensively used in our house holds, many cases of sickness could be averted.- Fruit Trade Journal, Dairy and Produce Record. , Those who never read theradver tisements in tneir newspaper miss more than they presume. Jonath an Kenison, of Bolan, Worth Co., Iowa, who had been troubled with rheumatism in his back, arms and shoulder, read aD item in his pa per about how a prominent uer man citizen of Ft. Madison had been cured. He procured the Bpme medicine, and to use his own words :It cured me rkht up." He also says: A neighbor and his wife were both sick in bed with rheu matism. Iheir boy wa over to my house and said thev were so bad that he had to do the cooking. I toid him of Chamberlain s rain Balm and how it had cured me, he procured a bottle of it and it cured them up in a week. 60 cent bot tles for sale by Osburn , Resolutions Adopted.

Charles Blackhawk's Monumental Gall Described by an Attorney. A Pendleton attorney relates a story of cupidity and gall which is worthy a repetition: "Charles Blackhawk. the Indian killed by the cars a few days ago, peace to his mangled remains," says the legal gentleman, "was by nature a money-maker. Had he been given time enough and the care of a temperance society. Black hawk would have become rich. When Moses Minthorn was sick at the hotel Pendleton, a gentleman of this city was summoned to his bed side. For many days and nights he watched the dying Minthorn, until his exhaustion called for re lief, and he hunted up Charles Blackhawk and asked him if he was not a relative of Minthorn. Blackhawk said he was, and so the gentleman suggested that Black hawk do some of the watchrcg. This was done, and Blackhawk stayed with Minthorn for some time, always going to the gentle man's houfe for his meals three times each day. Occasionally the Indian borrowed money from this eentijZaan unt'l $15 had been thus - T?!.11 vr- ,i i 1 secured. f xuintnorn uieu, and Blackhawk came to me and requested me to sue the gentleman for $40 lor services in nursing Min thorn. I protested that Miflthorn was a blood relative of Blackhawk, and the gentleman had merely asked him to perform a duty in earring for his - kinsman. But Blackhawk insisted that he had a good case, and argned that the nursing was done at the instance of the gentleman, and not at the request of Minthorn. Of course I entertained no notion of bringing any such suit, and only gave the ridiculous proposition a moment's attention because of the sublime gall and adamantine cheek exhibit ed by the fellow, Blackhawk. It certainly waB a case which is worthv of record." DON'T STOP TOBACCO. How to Cure Yourself While Using It.

An East Oregonian Reporter ! Inter views On of Them. Hugh McArthur was seen iFri day evening. He had come down from Athena to attend to some matters at the court house. Speak ing of the crops, he sid. "I have noticed in several places farmers are compelled to plow their wheat fields in order to kill out the Chinese lettuce, which in some localities has spread enormously. On the Rigby place 200 acres, on Willaby place 40, and numerous other tracts, have been already "i n llht 5 plowed and others say they will do the same. This is all fall grain, of course, and will cause-serious loss to some farmers." Mr. McArthur then said some more things. He said them with a sober , countenance and with his hand on the official seal of" the county clerk which ic used in ad ministering oaths to tell the whole truth and nothing else most of the time when convenient. His story is repeated only because Mr. Mc Arthur told it and his prominence and responsibility are not to be questioned. "We have held an election up our way," says Hugh, "and Robert Coppick has been chosen chief. We are rather sullen and I cannot say we will not break out and mas sacre the inhabitants. Chief Cop pock has been installed with fit ting solemnity, an ox being killed at the celebration, 40 gallons of coffee consumed and other proprir tinate quantities of edibles indulg ed in. His title is Chief of the Jubbubs. In my opinion, there should be ordered to our locality a oPOi cavalry soldiers, tor there is no telling what we may do. We may even have a dance and do otter sa vage things. By all means let Uncle Sam send a company of. regulars to guard us. We need it." Mr. . McArthur denied that he was speaking sarcastically and in a figuratiye sense of the . recent In dian scare. He left every one to wonder just what he was driving at..--' . A Peculiar Case. Thomas Nevins, ) a Brooklyn' merchant, from whose spine a re markable growth was removed a few weeks Hgo, died at the Seney hospital Wednesday afternoon. Ever since the operation his life 1 has been ebbing away. He was 38 years old, prosperous and ro bust, till nearly three month ago, when he complained of sharp pains in the thighs and groin, and his friends concluded that in some over-exertion an abscess had form ed. An operation was performed and a male child eight inches long and perfectly formed was found , imbeded in tissues. The doctor said Nevins was one of twins, and that before birth the embryo of the other child had become entangled " in his own. Tho doctors believe that all his life Nevins had sus tained the life of his imprisoned , brother. Then, in some way, the connecting ligaments were broken, and the death of the baby ensued. An Indian on a Bicycle, It is reported that a bicylist, while riding across the Nez Perco reservation, attracted the attention of an Indian and so completely captivated him that the wheel was 1... 1 1- ... ... J soon exchanged for a wagon and team, with which the native was hauling posts to fence his ranch. Tho white man left the Indian trying to mount the newly acquir ed vehicle and drove into town. The last report from the amateur bicyclist is that he tried to make a reckless run. down the Soldiers Canyon grade. The wheel went off on a tangent and piled up on the rocks twenty feet below the road, where wheel and rider were both supposed to be in need of re pairs. Gold in the Blue Mountains. It is just about a year ago since a prospector by the name of Green delved deep into the hills about Blue creek and the expectations of those who furnished ' the "grub Btake" and other necessaries, were way up in the nineties, but some how the thing petered out and no one said a word; not a word. Still there are a number of old settlers who at sundry times found grains of gold iu the craws of their ducks and gecee, and they are firm in the belief that there is gold in the Blue mountains, but the trouble is where to find it. However, if at first you don't succeed, try, try again, for if there is gold in our mountains we want some of it, gays the Walla Walla Statesman. A Lion and Bear Fight.
