HE WAS TOO AFFABLE.
A Smuggler who Over-Acted HI) Part
Arretted.
Pobt Townsend, April 29. A smooth
smuggler who had been doing a thriv
ing business on steamers between Vic
toria and Port lownsend, came to grief
lurauuv uigiu. iic came un unru 111c :
steamer North Pacific carrying a valise
and a box in which was set a luxuriant
geranium, and at once hunted up In- :
nnpctnr fnroud And ARked to have the
valise examined. He was very affable,
handed out cigars to the inspector-and
over-acted the part of
a pious, unso
phisticated passenger. The inspector's
suspicions were aroused and when the
time came he not only examined the
valise but probed the earth in the box
containing the geranium. Under the
dirt he found concealed nineteen five-tael
tins of prepared opium, or nine and a
half pounds of the drag. The smuggler
gave the name of Elder Gerrard, and
was brought before United States Com
missioner Swan yesterday, his bail being
set at $225. As lie could not find bonds
men he is still in the hands of Deputy
United States Marshal W. J. Jones.
Gerrard claims to be a Methodist minis
ter, and is a successful worker in the
opium trade. He made several trips
under various names, carrying boxes of
plants, and has escaped suspicion here
tofore. PAN-AMERICAN ASSOCIATION.

WANTED BY THE POLICE.
A Koekuk Hotel Boldly Taken Possess
slon of by a Thief.
Keokuk, la., April 30. A. T. Stein
walked into the City hotel here today
and cooly told the clerk he had purchased
the business and was on hand to run it.
He demanded the key of the money
drawer. These were turned over by the
unsuspecting clerk. Stein made himself
at home behind the desk and at the bar
of the hotel, treating the guests to free
drinks. After remaining about three
hours he suddenly disappeared with all
the loose cash in the house. A special
from Hamilton, 111., says he appeared
there in the guise of postoffice inspector.

troops.
Balmaceda Escapes Assassination.
Valparaiso, April 29. President Bal
maceda, of Chili, escaped death from
assassination as if by a miracle today.
He and his family were seated in the
parlor of the presidential mansion when
a dynamite bomb was thrown into one
of the rooms through a window. The
bomb exploded and did uinch damage to
the room but no one was hurt. Intense
excitement was caused by theattempted
assassination, and the streets and the

tor of the outrage, but the authorities
are using every effort to establi-h his
identity and capture him.
Immense Crop of Wheat Assured.
Spokane, April 30. Reports to the
Chamber of Commerce from all parts of
the grain belt of Washington indicate
the greatest grain crop in the history of
i the country. In some places the seed
ling is already finished, and everywhere
i it is well known. Reports agree that
the condition of wheat is much more
favorable that on April 1st, the frequent

great crop this season.

THE FARMERS' PROSPECTS.
The Northwest Miller which is authority
on futures and present crop outlooks in
speaking of the French prospect says :
"In the first place the area sowu is at
least 2,500,000 less than last year, which
taken at the average yield of eighteen
bushels per acre, means 45,000,000 bush
els, with regard to the area damaged by
frost and replowed it is still estimated
to be at least one fourth, or say 4,500,000
t acres.

du,ikj,uuu Dusneis compared with last
J6'1
So that, altogether we may look
for a crop 90,000.000 to 95,000,000 bushels
short of last year's which was officially
announced at 336,000,000 bushels, but is
commercially recognized not to have ex
ceeded 320,000,000 bushels. Thus pres
ent indications point to a crop of 225,
000,000 to 230,000,000 bushels, while
.France consumes annually 340,000,000 to
350,000,000 bushels.
Under the circumstances it is not sur
prising that French farmers who must
hold plenty of wheat from the last good
crop, are indisposed to sell, though that
foreign wheat is already entering more
largely into consumption than might
have been thought. Already about 3,
000,000 quarters have been imported into
France in the pivot seven months, which
even supposing the last crop was only
40,000,000 quarters, is sufficient to supple
ment the home crop if the latter were
forthcoming in larger quantities. The
large purchases which have been made
for forward delivery, and which probably
amount to about 1,000,000 quarters, are
j therefore destined to help satisfy a future
deficiency.
The price of grain is steadily increasing
all the time, there having been several
upward jumps during the past week
owing to continued reports of poor
prospects in France, Belgium, Holland
and part of Prussia. On last Friday
there was a jump of about four cents,
caused by a dispatch stating that the
French government will probably be
compelled before August next to ask the
chamber of deputies to suspend duties
on cereals, and that the German govern-
inent expected to have to ask the reich- j
stag to teke similar action. J
A TRIBUTE TO WEBSTER.
That level-headed Attorian newspaper
says that when our republic rose Noah
Webster became his schoolmaster.
There had never before been a great na
tion with a universal language, without
dialect. The little island of England
holds people whose dialects are difficult
for English speaking people to under
stand. But now the Yorkshireman can
talk with' him from Cornwall. The
peasant of the Apennines, as he drives
home his goats at evening, look down
upon six provinces, none of whose dia
lects he can speak. Here in this great
country, 5,000 miles scarcely change the
sound of a word. Around every fireside
and from every tribune, in every field of
labor, and every place where men toil
with head or hand, is heard the same
tongue, the same accent. We owe it to
Noah Webster's spelling book. and. dic
tionary. He has done more for us than
Alfred did England, or what Cadmus did
for Greece. His books have educated
three generations. They are forever
multiplying his innumerable army of
thinkers, who will transmit his name
from age to age. Only two men have
stood on the New World whose fame is
so sure to last : Columbus, its discover
er, and Washington, its savior. - Web
ster is and will be its great teacher, and
these three will make th future trinity
of fame.
General T. W. Sheehan of Sacramento
is a brave and a sensible man. He is to
act as marshal of the procession that
will be had in his city on the occasion of
the presidential visit there. A military
company of Italians called the Bersag
liers volunteers offered their services as
escort which the general accepted but
made the proviso that they were to
carry only the American flag, on the oc
casion ; in fact, he stated no flag except
the star-spangled banner would be al
lowed in the procession. The. company
is indignant and say they will not par
ade aiiles-j Mi y are allowed to carry the
Italian standard. General Sheehan is
right. This country has no use for for
eigners who would cling to their old
world notions and flags. America should
be for Americans and those who are not
willing to become citizens of this, repub
lic in every sense should be returned
from whence they -come. The flag of this
nation is the only one that should tie al
lowed to float in the free air of America,
which is poison to treason and tyranny.
There is no room here for any flag but
the stars and stripes, and we say ' all
bail to the man that has the courage to
exclude all others. ...
The only sensible way to build up a
city, community or state, is to patronise
the enterprises in our midst. There are
many people who imagine it is good
i tasto to send abroad for every thing they
eat, wear or use in their houses, and if
this line of action were carried out by
our business men generally, it would
lead to disastrous results. Our stores
would close their doors and be obliged to
seek other fields for business. The only
way for the people to prosper is to en
courage and assist in building up the
important industries. It is often neces
sary to pay a little more, but the money
is kept at home and circulated among
our people. Citizens often complain of
hard times when they have no one to
blame but themselves. Stand together,
work together and prosper together and
we shall never hear or know of hard

The recent census of Germany shows j
the empire has a population of about
49,420,800; in December, 1871, the pop
ulation of the new empire was 41 ,058,792.
The increase of 2,505,000 in the first five
years was the greatest ever known in an
equal period of time. A remarkable
fact disclosed by the census is the mark
ed increase in the population of citias.
The gain of Berlin is about 10 per cent
of the entire increase in the empire and
the ten largest cities claim one-half of
the total growth. It is calculated that
while the population of Germany shows
an increase of 4,200,000 for the past ten
years, Austro-Hnngary has gained less
than 3,000,000, France scarcely a million,
judging from official estimates, Italy
2,750,000, the British Isles about 3,600,
000 and Russia about 12,000,000.
Results are already beginning to ap
pear from the postal subsidy bill. The
Inman steamship company have been
induced by it to undertake the construc
tion of two new ocean greyhounds,
equal to the very finest vessels afloat.
They will be built in this country and
will fly the American flag. The esti
mated cost is $4,000,000 for the two-,
each to be of 10,500 tons register. These
millions of dollars will, therefore, be
spent to give employment to American
labor, and to circulate among American
tradesmen, instead of going abroad.
Even a little protection to shipping
works very well.
In the old times ice was brought from
the mountains and stored away in pits
dug in the earth and covered with straw
or other substances that proved non
conductors of heat and also protected it
from the air. Mention of this fact is
made in the Proverbs of Solomon, and it
is frequently alluded to in the writings
of the ancient Greeks and Romans. It
is still in vogue in Italy, where snow
gathered in the Appenines is brought by
peasants to the principal cities and
stored in cellars made especially for that
purpose.
Kearney, Neb., has an incorporated
World's Fair Excursion & Investment
company, with capital stock of $100,000.
It invites persons to pay to it $52 in
installments of 50 cents a week, and
agrees for that sum to take tliem to and
from the world's fair in special trains,
pay for their meals en route, and their
living expenses for a week in Chicago at
the best $3 per day hotel and furnish
them with tickets of admission, guides
and printed information.
A modern Fagin has been unearthed
at Buffalo, N. Y. He has nine children,
all of whom of suitable age, he and his
wife had trained in pocket-picking.
Seventy-one pocket-books were found in
his house. The exposure grew out of
the arrest of two of his girls, who were
detected in picking pockets at a museum,
and who have been sent to a reforma
tory.1 The worthy couple will probably
be retired to Auburn Prison.
The new boat, the Norma, which is to
ply on the Snake river, has . been com
pleted, and will commene running as
soon as a sufficient stage of water is had.
It is quite likely that neither the Colum
bia nor Snake rivers will rise to a
great height this summer, as the snow j
is generally sinking into the ground as
fast as it melts, and the mountain
streams are carrying off very little sur
plus water.

Baby is sick. The woeful expression
of a Des Moines teamster's countenance
showed his deep anxiety was not entire
ly without cause, when he inquired of a
druggist of the same city what was best
to give a babv for a cold? It was not ne
cessary for him to say more, his counte
nance showed that the pet of the family,
if not the idol of his life was in distress.
"We give our baby Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy," was the druggist's answer.
"I don't like to give the baby such strong
medicine," said the teamster. You know
John Oleson, of the Watters-Talbot Print
ing Co., don't you? inquired the drug
gist. "His baby, when eighteen months
old, got hold of a bottle of Chamberlain's
Uongh Kemedy ana drank tne wnoie ot
it. Of course it made the baby vomit
very freely but did not injure it in the
least, and what is more, it cured the ba
by's cold. The teamster already knew
the value of the Remedy, having used it
himself, and was now satisfied that there
was no danger in giving it even to a
baby, for sale by bnipes & Kinersiy.

is well founded. Prineville New.

B. Denny, a well known dairyman of

bottles in all. and there is no thine I have
ever used that gave me as much relief

special savs: "The outlook now is that l
the close season will be declared bv the
United States government and the North
American Co. won't have any catch this
year. If it shuts out its own lessees, the
government may be counted to make
short work of the poachers regardless of

is no ground on which the British gov
eminent could refuse help in this work
and its co-operation will be offered with
