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

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

over the burial place of Christopher that I

Mr.
Wool
II. Shearer Making his
Shipment East by Sail.
The experiences which Mr. J. H.
Shearer haa met with in shipping his
wool the paBt two seasons by rail, es
pecially lflBt year, has induced him to
try Che all water route this season from
The Dalles to Boston. The Dispatch
-says: -.
"Mr. J. II. Shearer, a resident of the
DeeChutea, and the owner of a large
flock of sheep, has concluded to do away
with middlemen in handling his wool,
and is having it shipped to this city and
-placed on board the American ship Tillie
JE. Starbuck, for Boston. Mr. Shearer
has 218,000 pounds of choice wool. The
steamer Dalles City brought down last
night 286 bales from the Cascades nd
will bring the remainder down this and
tomorrow evening. Mr. Shearer will be
in Boston when the ship arrives and will
superintend the sales himself.

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.
