Among the many attractions at North
Beach, near New York, there is a wild
man, who, according to the owner of the
show, was "captured at great expense in
the wilds of Borneo." The wild man's
name on the show bill is "An-nabk-r-am,"
and it ia declared that be eats cats,
dogs, birds and mice. The name spelled
backward bears a close resemblance to
that of a noted Ohio man.
Mr. Hogarth has opened up the Diet
aean cave, in terete, wnere zeus was
nursed by the goat Amalthea. After
blasting out the limestone that blocked
the entrance a cave was found full of
offerings, consisting of bronza weapons
terra cotta statuettes and the like, all cf
Mysenncan times. A shaft 150 feet deep
led to a lower stalactite cave, where
offerings were found finer than those
in the cave above.
He sat in the door at noon day, lonely
and glum and sad ; the flies were buzz
ing about him, led by a blue-winged
gad. Not a customer darkened bis
pottal, not a sign of business was there
but the flies kept buzzing and bumming
around the poor man's hair. At last in
misery he shouted, "Great Scott!" I'm
covered with flies." and the zephyrs
tunefully murmured, "It's because you
don't advertise."
Willie, a Yakima Indian, was arrest
ed this afternoon by Marshal Driver
and placed in the city jail under the
charge of being drunk and disorderly
Willie got loaded np with booze, and on
Frank Gunning's refusal toshoe his
horse for $1.50, attempted to clean out
the entire blacksmith shop. When
brought to the jail he strenuously de-
E:; d that he bad a cent of money ; but
on the marshal's asking him what made
the big lump that wag on his cheek, the
Indian disgorged $4.50 in silver from his
month.
Joe Christians was arrested last night
by Marshal Driver and placed in the
city jail under the charge of threatening
to commit bodily harm on the person of
a man who had been guilty of the of
feline of discharging and paying off an
employe whose work was not eatisfac
tory. Job loaded himself with booze
ami threatened to carve into mince
meat the man who kicked at paying a
dullar in coin for fifty cents worth of
labor.
From the Antelope Herald we regret
to learn that last Tuesday, while after
a load ol wood in the Trout Greek
country, N. V. Wallace, of Antelope,
father of Mrs. Olivia Morgan, of this
city, met with a very painful accident,
caued by the upsetting of his wagon.
He was moved to the home of Dan
Crowley, and his famil notified. Upon
examination it was discovered that cne
ol Mr. Wallace's feet was very badly
crashed, and that he had sustained other
injuries about the body, from the fall.
Considering Mr. Wallace's age, it is al
Host a miracle that he escaped with his
life.
A lady friend of Tim Ciironici.k sends
" the following: "The people of The
Dalles should encourage 'home industry'
o the extent of patronizing our home
merchants and maintaining a lively,
healthy business condition here instead
of 'ending off to Portland, as many do,
'or their supplios, and helping to build
"po'her places at the expense of this.
The Dulles stores are "op to date" In
every respect and are deserving of, and
entitled to the patronage of The Dalles
People. The people that spend their
money in Portland should goto Portland
to make it. It R not a fair deal to make
il here and spend it there".
The Wilkinson warehouse on First
tret presented a busy scene today.

Kurls and ftechl-r packing Italian
prunes an,i hartlet pears for shipment
to eastern markets, besides smaller

to Ne York and others to Philadelphia
or Cincinnati, or, possibly, to both
places. Mr. Kyle, of Page A Sons, will
have shipped five cars tbis week to New
York. Messrs. Stadleman and Kurtz
and Sechler have shipped during t'-ie
season about fifteen cars, It is esti
mated that the season's crop of prunes
in tbis neighborhood, if all were shipped,
wonld fill fifty cars, but it is not reck
oned that more than half of them will
be shipped green. Outside buyers are
doing tbis year what they never did be
fore in this neighborhood, paying cash
for the fruit in advance. Thegiowers
net three-quarters of a cent a pound
from the prunes and about 83 cents
hundred for the pears.
Monday a Daily.
Four cars of U. S. cavalry horses were
fed at the Salttnareh stockyards this
forenoon. They were on the way from
E'giu, Union county, to Portland.
Mr. A. E. Mullan, of Mill Creek,
brother-in-liw of Dr. Hudson, of tbis

The Observer says, Ralph L. Kuney of
Wasco, has charge of a surveying party

Springs.
Mr. F. G. Church and the representa
tives of four families that arrived at
Portland a lew days ago frcu Minne
sota looking for locations for mixed
farming, are guests of Rev. O. D. Tay
lor while looking over the country
around The Dalles. The party brought
with them two cars of stock and all
their household goods.
The population of Greater New York,
as indicated by the count just com
pleted at the census office, is 3,437,202.
This includes the population of the Bor
oughs of Manhattan and Bronx, previ
ously announced, and thoeeof Brooklyn,
Richmond and Queens. An approxi
mate estimate of the increase since 1890
shows it to have been 37.9 per cent.
Tbis forenoon Charley, a boy of 5
years, living with Doc Aikins, in Laugh-li-u's
bluff addition, fell about ten feet
from the window of a barn and lighting
on tils head was rendered unconscious
for a short time. Dr. Geisendorffer,
who was summoned to attend the lad,
apprehends no serious results and ex
pects the boy to be as well as ever in a
few days.
Four men were injured near Viento
last Friday by the falling of a railroad
bridge on which they were working.
The fireman, Jessie Moore, son of Ike
Moore, of this city, was injured in the
back, but not seriously. Pete Jacobsen,
who was working a pile driver, bad his
tkull fractured. Another man, whose
name we could not learn, was injured
internally. The men were taken to St.
Vincent's hospital.
No man knows the exact population c f
the Chinese Empire, but it H believed to
consist of between 400,000,000 and 50'-
000,000 persons. If a census were taken
by compelling the Celestials to move
past the enumerators in single file, three
feet apart, at the rate of four miles an
hour, the process would consume about
8 years, 37 days, 0 hours, 43 minutes and
38 and a fraction seconds, allowing two
days for leap years.

Astoria News,
The Dalles correspondent of the Ore-
gonian Inadvertently failed in yesterdays
communication to give The Dulles full
credit for the amount of fruit shipped
from here during the past week. There
were ten cars, all told, instead of eight.
Kurtz A Sechler shipped two cars, Pete
Stadleman two and Page Son six.
Kurtz A Sechler shipped a car yesterday,
(Sunday) and will have another one out
tonight. Page A Son will also ship a car
tonight. The indications are that the
shipments this wr.ek will exceed those
of last week.
Mrs. Joseph Southwell, of Ton Mile,
met with a peculiarly painful accident
last Saturday evening. While milking
a cow in the corral the animal became
frightened by a horse, and in some way,
that the injured lady cannot account for,
the cow threw Mrs. Southwell prostrate
and then fell on her with the animal's
full weight. The doctors Ferguson went
. t j
out to see the injured woman ami lounu
her suffering from eeveie bruises In the
renion of the hips. Word was received
today that she was getting Blong as well
at could be expected.

Condon Times. W herever mere are

A band of 114 bead of range hortes
and mules belonging to W. Wuizweiier,
Alf Allen and otben.of Prineviile, while
on the way Saturday night to the Regu
lator landing for shipment to Portland,
stampeded near the brewery and scat
tered all over town, employing the
riders who brought them here the entire
night before they were rounded up at
the stock yards. Extra help was ob
tained yesterday and the band, with
some six or eight head missing, were
loaded on the boat and taken to Port
land. Two of them were badly cut up
by barb wire, a third was injured so se
verely that he died, and three or four
could not be found. The beasts did not
seem to know what a fence was for
They jumped over the excellent fence
tbat surrounds the Chinese garden on
the B. F. Laughlin premises on the
bluff, and damaged it to such an extent
that the Chinaman wants $500 dam

Frank Woodcock of Warulc spent yes
terday in the city on bis way home from
the Cape Nome country. Frank's de
scription of Cape Nome tallies with the
worst accounts tbat have been given of
tbat region. He says he found nothing
there, for the reason that there was
nothing to find, never was anything, and
never would be. He predicts that before
a year Nome City will be reduced to the
dimensions of an Indian fishing village,
The whole thing is a gigantic cruel fake,
There were thousands of persons that
bad no means of getting awav and no
means of subsietance while they staid
There were merchants who had brought
in immense stocks of merchandite that
feared they would never be able to dis
pose of half the goods. Mr. Woodcock
and three others built a large skiff in
which tbey sailed from Nome City to
St. Michaels, following the bays and
inlets, a distance of 300 miles. He was
gone two months and a half, and comes
back about $300 poorer than when he
started, unless he reckons as a valuable
asset the rich, ripe experience that will
keep bim from ever hungering for an
other trip to Cape Nome.
Tuesday'! Dally.
The city council of Astoria has at last
settled the street-lighting difficulty by
authorizing a one year's contract with
the West Shore Mills Company for fifty
arc lights at $7.50 per light per monib.

A party of Warm Springs Indians ar
rived at Silvies River from Stein moun
tain. One of their number died while
on the mountain, and his brethern took
him back to the reservation, a distance
of 200 miles. The defunct Indian was
carried on horseback.
This morning while George Hearth, of
Columbia precinct, was moving bis
threshing outfit from the old Hire ranch,
near Fivu Mile, and while making a
short turn on the county road the
traction engine left the grade and rolled
into the ditch practically ruining the
machinery.
Charles Butler shipped this morning
to Port Townsend 000 head of mutton
sheep that be purchased fiom Ed Griffin,
of Nansene. Mr. Butler will tonight
ship to the same destination two carloads
of beeves that he puichased from J.
Mackin.of Kent, and Newt Burgess, of
Bakeoven.
T. Ouiatn, a Japanese laborei working
at the Summit for the O. R. A N. Co.,
while handling railroad iron this morn
ing, had one of the rails fall on his left
hand, badly lacerating Ms thumb. He
was brought to town and bad his Inju
ries attended to by the company's sur
geon, Dr. Hugh Logan.
The Dalk'S correspondent of the Ore
gonian must have been in a most hila
rious mood when he sent that commu
nication about the band of Crook county

Willis Hendricks was io town today
from Tygh Ridge. He reports that bis
fall wheat averaged forty-one bushels to
the acre and bis spring wheat twenty-
eight. Charles Frailey, of Kingsley,
had just finished threshing a crop of
8000 bushels that he had never estimat
ed higher than 6000. And so it goes on
the Ridge; the crops everywhere turn
lug out better than expected.
Recorder Gates and Mr, Borders were
today engaged in marking on a city map,
specially made for the purpose, the loca
tion of every water main, private pipe
curred last night, between the hours of
7 and 9 o'clock, in the neighborhood of
the PeeChutes, east of bis place. Mr.
Richards taw the fire from his house but
was unable to locate it. From the fact
that it did not spread Mr. Richards
supposes it to have leen a grain stack or
possibly a barn or dwelling.
There has been appropriated out of
the general appropriations for surveys
the sum of $2:,000 for surveys of public
lands in Oregon during the coming vear.
This is a comparatively large appiopria
tion tor the state. Settlers living on
claims still unsarveyed will do well to
write to R. A. Hibereham, surveyor
general for Oregon, Portland, for blank
applications for surveys and secure the
suivey of their claims as soon as possi
ble. The Kansas populists are really state
socialists. The state already has a
plant for the manufacture of bindery
twine. In their platform the Kansas
populists "especially favor the develop
ment of our oil resources by the state,
and the relief of our people from the
exactions of the Standard Oil monopoly
by the erection of a state refinery to re-
fine the products of the oil fields of our
state and supply oil to our people for
their own uee, at the cost of production
without paying tribute to that over
grown monopoly."

Eliza Jana George, a spinster of 50
years and a native of Missouri, was ad
judged insane yesterday and committed
to the asylum on complaint of J. W.
Cramblet and Lucy Cramblet, of this
city. Owing to a little misunderstand
ing the woman was not sent below yes
terday, and as she appears perfectly
rational most of the time, It was thought
best to let her have her liberty for three
or four days and await results. The
woman is harmless, and about the
worst tbat can be said of her is that she
talks incoherently at times, indicating
that she is off her base. It is claimed
that she was never herself since about
eight years ago when she had an apo
plectic stroke.
The Dalles has two cases of diphtheria.
So says Dr. Geisendorffer, who is the at
tending physician. Fortunately they
are in u remote part of the city, some
two or three block's south of the end of
the Dalles Lumbering Company's flume.
The victims are two daughters of George
Bonn, wlioseson, Peter, was tinned last
Sunday. The children are aged five and
eight years. They were ill at the time of
their brother's funeral, with what the
parents supposed was merely "gore
throat." A physicianwas not called till
last evening, when Dr. Geisendorffer
pronounced the illness diphtheria. Ttie
marshal was duly notified and the house
flagged this morning. It is claimed that
the afflicted children have not been in
the company of the neighboring children
since they began to complain of being
ill, but with a funeral from the house it
will be a miracle if somebody does not
manifest the resuit of exposure.
K. j. ttorman returned last evening
from Collins Landing, where be has been
visiting his relatives for a few days.
lie states that he was more than sur
prised at finding that Collins was such
a splendid camping place, aud that moie
campers do not spend the summer season
there. The hot springs are equal to those
at St. Martins and much more con
veniently located, as they are close to
the landing and within a five minutes
walk of any of the camps. As yet but
few people know anything of these
springs, but as it is the intention to put
up a large hotel, and thoroughly ad
vertise the place as a sunni er and health
resort, there will probably be hundreds
there next summer. Those who enjoy
hunting and fishing, find these enjoy,
merits to their hearts' content, while
mountain climbers can get their fill in
making the accent of Wind Mountain.
The springs and grounds are conducted
by accommodating gentlemen, who do
everything in their power to make it
pleasant for campers, and it is safe to say
that every one who is there at present
will be a walking advertisement f r the
springs. .

The Coi vallis Times says, the grittiest
hen in America lives over in Alsea. Her
right to be called a brave hen has been
tested, and no one who reads these lines
will deny tbat sheiseverlikely to shrink
from any duty, public or private. She
is notonly a brave hen, hur.a"gtrenuous"
hen.
She Is the. property of one of the
Hayden brothers. They also own a
threshing machine. The latter was taken
out of the shed for the first time last
week, and a small field of grain was
threshed, to see that the machine was
in good running order. When the job
was finished the machine was returned
to the shed, when, to the auiazeirient of
all, there in the corner of the separator
sat the strenuous hen. Under her was
aneBtofeggs that she was endeavoring
to batch. She had been on the nest
when the machine was taken out. She
was there when the belts and pulleys
began to whiz, when the fan began to
sing and wbentheriddles began to shake
and rattle. The wind from the fan
milled her feathers and almost took her
breath, but, like the boy on the burning
deck, she stayed at her post. What her
thoughts were when the swift cylinder
began to chew up straw cannot be
guessed. She may have believed her
self in the midst of a woman's rights
convention or she may liavo guessed
that the world was at an end.

There was dust in her teeth and a some

The most remarkable sale of hone
and mules that ever occurred in Eastern
! Oregon has just been consumated here.
says a dispatch from Athena. Th
principal sellers were N. II. Pinkertoa
and Frank Beale, who brought In soma
horses and mule from Arlington. Otuer
sellers were Garrison Bros, and ' Long

John Day, south ot Camas Prairie; E.

"High Pockets" Thracker, from th
Umatilla reservation. The highest Dries
piid for mules was 300 a span, E. A.
Dudley getting f'HX) for three spaa. The
lowest price for mules was $150, paid to
High Pockets for a span of animals that
weighed only T'.M and 880 pounds re
spectively, Horses brought $75 and $S0
each. Only three horses were n j-cted
out of all offered, and not a single mole
was rejected. All told, there were nine

chased. The United States army was
the buyer, Captain B. II. Cheever, of
Walla Walla, and H. M. SwarU, of
Vancouver Barracks, being here fur tha
purpose of Inspecting, buying and re
ceiving. The animals were driven to
Walla Walla by Charles Dunn and Dave
Boniter. The prices paid are considered
to be good by the sellers, and there ia
satisfaction all around. The sale was a
foOOO deal.
While these prices may seem very high
to those unacquainted with the market!
fur the past two years, it must be re
membered that the English government

these figures for the same class of stock.
PERTINENT PRESS COMMENT.
Dear Doctor McKinley : Four years
ago I had that idle feeling and craving
tor food in my stomach that I could not
seem to fill for the want of something to
eat. In fact, my entire family suffered
from the same complaint.
I had severe pains in my back from
carrying the mortgage on my home. My
condition was such that my friends
hardly knew me. I looked so much like
a tramp.
Then, hearing of your Prosperity
Remedy, I tried it, and today I am a
changed man. I am glad to say that all
my "Hard Times Pains" have left me.
We could not now get along without
your Prosperity Remedy in my family,
and we shall continue to use the same.
Your obedient servant,

Chicago, Aug. 20. A special to the
Record from Vancouver, B C, says;
The, steamer Cutch, which has arrived
from Skagway, brought news that an
earthquake, on August 10th, shook
Skagway tor 70 seconds, and was even
more severely felt in Dawson. All the
way down the river the ehcx-fc was ap

ticularly defined. At Dawson, two
small government buildings In course of
construction were toppled over.
Arrivals from the Stewart River, half

Tho Berlin correspondent of the
London News regards the German
Ameiican reciprocity treaty just con
cluded, as of great commercial and
political importance ; and he concludes :
"By Mr. McKlnley's compliance w.th
German wishes in the customs question,
a large number of Germans in America
will be won over to his eido." While this
is not exactly an authoritative view, it
