THE DALLES WEEKLY CHRdNICtEy FRIDAY, AUGUST 12, 1892. SAVED BY A PRAYER. Ten Narrow Eseap of a Witness From Being Lpcnetl. BE IS SAVED BY MINISTERS. A Gang of Oystermcn Recognize Him at a Camp Meeting. JIBOCT TO PPT A KOPE ON HIS MCCK. -When a Minister Called Out "L,et us rray." And Daring The Vtayer The Victim is Released. A ORANft BXCTJBSIONV Cbiskikld, MdM Aug. 6. mere was determined attempt at lynching on Smith's island that was prevented in novel manner. A resident of Tangier, one of the neighboring Virginia islands, was on Smith's Islands attending amp-meeting. He was recognized by one of the Smith islanders as having been instrumental in sending three of their number to the" Virginia ' state prison, and having their boats con fiscated, for dredging in Virginia waters, At the time of their arrest last winter most of the Tangier men were for letting the prisoners off, hut this man pushed the prosecution. Immediately after he was recognized on the camp grounds he e prang for his boat, and flourishing a re volver, kept his pursuers at bay for a short time. They closed in-on him and, tying his limbs, wero about to putarope aronnd his neck:, when three preachers, who were on the camp grounds at the time, made their way to the boat. They were jnst in time to prevent the. lynch ing, and succeeded in effecting his escape. Finding that their cries and entreaties were of no avail, owing to the fact that the mob in their fury would stop at nothing, one of the ministers, knowing the great reverence in which the Deity . is held by the islanders, called out "Let us pray." He immediately began pray ing in an earnest, manner "that the blood of this man be not laid upon our souls," while the other two ministers forced their way to the side of tne pris oner, cut his bonds and shoved off the boat, telling him to go. ... Baking l'owdcr War. The envy shown by other baking powder manufacturers of the great pres tige of the Royal Baking powder is not At all surprising. For thirty years the Royal has been tho standard for purity ' and strength in baking powders, and has been placed at the head of every board of official examiners whether state or national. The Royal Baking Powder company controls its own cream of tartar factory and the processes for making tho only chemically pure cream of tartar. It sends its product to mil lions ot conies ail over tne world, sup plies tho army and navy, tho great trans-Atlantic steamers, the finest hotels and restaurants, and is recommended by the best chefs and authorities on cuisine in every land. Its sale is larger than that of all other cream of tartar baking powders combined ; it lias more friends among housekeepers than any other similar article. These facts are doubtless bitterness to the makers of the inferior baking powdere. Flood in St. Paul. St. Paul, Aug. 5. Where Page street crosses a deep gully, in this city, the cul vert choked up and a lake formed dur ing the late heavy rains, covering an area of about two acres, fifty feet deep. Suddenly last night the street filling was swept away, allowing the water to sweep down in a bod y on the land below. When tho soft earth gave way, side walks, trees, houses and ho man beings were hurried down the grade, thousands of yards. The loss of property is at least $50,000. The loss of life is three killed Seven were badly injured. The body of Mrs. August Adams was recovered this morning. There is still two missing, and Mrs. Strokel, of the injured, is in a critical condition The German Societies of Several Cities Meet in Fdrtland.

A Dot Like a Pin Head Is First Secured, Then Magnified Difficulties In the Way. FIRE IN FOSIt. Condon Globe. Monday afternoon about 2 o'clock the large livery stable belonging to Cbas. McKenzie at Fossil caught fare, presumably from a cigar stump, and within a few seconds the en ormous structure was a seething mass of roaring flames. Kverthing was as dry as powder, and it was only a second un til the flames spread to Elmer Bernard's saloon under the same roof, thence to the old Coates blacksmith shop, thence to the Hosford bnilding occupied by Mrs. F. M. Judd. By almost super human efforts the large merchandise store of W. W. Steiwer & Co., just north across the street, was saved by spread ing wet blankets all over the roof, it being protected also by a row of large poplar trees. P. Potterton's large fur niture establishment was saved also by wet blankets. Had Steiwer & Co's. store caught fire, there is no doubt the entire town would have fallen a victim to the fiend. The scorched boards of that and Potterton's building are evidence of the narrowness of their escape. Several dwelling houses bad the paint roasted out of them also those of J. H. Putnam and Sir. Carpenter, and were saved only by the most determined efforts. The livery stable was the mast valuable building destroyed, and we are informed that the building was not insured. One horse, belonging to Charley Branson, who had the stable rented, perished in flames. He also lost a lot of hay, liar ness, etc., and the kind hearted citizens at once raised about $10!) for him. Wc have not learned if any of the other buildings wero insured or not. The loss is about $5,000. The burnt district lies in the east edge of the town, and as the wind was blowing furiously from the tho west at the time, had the fire origi nated anywhere in the west end of the town, nothing bat ashes would now be left to mark the beautiful townsite of toseil. The Wonders of Oregon. AdoIphSutroandhi8 son Charles, have been spending considerable time in southern and Eastern Oregon thi9 year. Mr. feutro nas traveled the world over and is familiar with the wonderland of the old world, but Crater lake, in his es timation, eclipses anything he has ever seen. In speaking of the ultramarine ef fect ot tne water, wnicn is j,uuu feet in depth, he said : "The only comparison I can make relative to the color, is tha of the waters of the Bine Grotto at Capri, a cave in an island off the coast of Naples. The entrance to the cave is on a level with the ocean, and the boat men who are skilled take the explorer into the cave in the tronghof the waves, a seemingly hazardous undertaking to the visitor. The water in this cave re sembles that of Crater lake in color only but in magnitude and scenic granduer the Blue Grotto does not compare." Marlon Harlands Opinion. Chicago, Aug. 8. Mars ended his mad race toward the earth at noon yes terday. He stopped just 35,100,000 miles away in space, and in about a month will be swinging along in its orbit, 40, 000,000 of miles away, the same as usual More than this, it will be fifteen years before be will again burn his lamp so close to the face of Mother Earth. Jnlv 12th the planet attracted the attention of the world by dodging behind the moon and announcing that he was on bis way toward the earth at a lively pace. Astronomers have taken advan tage of : his - proximity to etudv his features with their big telescopes, , and the professors at Kedwood observatory, oa 46th street, in this city, have been very busy. Last night, Prof. Duwalt, who has charge during the absence of Prof. Hale, lectured to a second class on the subject. The big telescope in the center being the feature of attraction The professor spiced what he bad to say about planets in general and Mars 'in particular by actual eye observations through the powerful glass by individual members of the audience. - The study is not all done by the naked eye, however. Here, as in sun spots, the. epectrohelio- graph comes into use, and Prof. Hale's invention for photographing the sun is used in catching minute glimpses of the planet. Mars takes a small picture, ' not so large as a pinhead, and from this min ute dot another - photographic instru ment magnifies it nntil the picture is as large around as the end of a leadpencil. There is little to be seen, however, out side the snow caps which crown each' end, the north a little heavier than the south.. - It is not an easy matter to get a photograph of any heavenly body, es pecially .one so infinitestimally small as the negative of Mars, for the earth is spinning around at a lively rate, and the subject, too, is not standing still. It is necessary to make a ten-second exposure, and the finely adjusted clockwork that counteracts the revolution of the earth on its axis, by tilting the telescope around and keeping it pointed at the ob ject, does not always keep up the pro cession. As an occasional result there is a spoiled negative. A nlmy . cloud may float over the mouth of the big teles cope and Mars will look like a dot under a thick veil. A breath of air may move the telescope ; the jar of a passing vehicle or even the vibrations of a large bell will mar the perfectness of the negative when all other circumstances are favor able. Seventeen years ago the life theory was strongly advocated by Prof. Mercator, who figured out a chart with canals, lakes and seas. The late obser vations from the Lack observatory are said to throw some doubt on this theory, and astronomers are expecting interest ing discoveries from the Rocky mount ains. . Columbus discovered America, but it .... .. . . is evident from tne dispute going on over the burial place of Christopher that I America is unable to discover Columbus. Taken in time, even Consumption yields to tho wonderful effects of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It won't make new lungs but it will make diseased ones healthy when nothing, elso will.- There's . reason for it, too. Consumption is Lang scrofula. " For every form of scrof ula, and -all blood-taints, tho "Dis covery" is a positive corp. It's the most potent strength -restorer, blood - cleanser, and flesh builder known to medical science. For Weak Lungs, Spitting of Blood, Bronchitis, Asthma, Catarrh, and all lingering Coughs, it's an une qualed remedy. It's a guaranteed one. it it doesn't benefit or cure, you have your money back. Yon've everything to gain from it nothing to lose. It's especially potent in curing Tetter, Salt-rhcum, Eczema, Erysip elas, Boils,' Carbuncles, Sore Lyes, Goitre, or Thick Neck, and Enlarged Glands, Tumors and Swellings. Great Eatinor Ulcers rapidly heal under its benign influence. DRUGS Snipes & Kinersly. -THE LEADING- Wholesale ami Retail lists. Handled by Three Registered Druggists.

Headers of TnK CiiKOMCLEAre familiar not only with the sprightly writings of Marion Harland, but also with her sound common sense upon matters of everyday life and action. Her name, indeed, is a household word, and is equally well known in parlor and kitchen. Her cele- oratea cook dook, uommon sense in the Household," is without a peer and shows that she has made a careful study of how to prepare good, wholesome food, in the best manner by the best materials. In this issue we produce a fac-siraile letter from Marion Harland that speaks from her experience in the highest terms of the unequaled qualities of the Royal Baking powder. Housewives every where should read the opinion of such an expert and act accordingly. All good cooks, who have used the Boyal, are of the same opinion also. Two Grand Excursions.
