Tbe American Cafe, in the Jerusalem concession at the World's Fair, waa destroyed by fire last Tuesday morning, The Turks and Arabs who occupied the buildings on the Jerusalem concession, were greatly excited. Tbe alarm was given at 2:20 a. m., and the Orientals suddenly awakened,' jumped from the windows or rushed into the streets half clad. No one sustained serious injury. The loss was about $18,000. EMIGRANT SHIP LOST. The Danish steamer, Norge, with 768 persons on board, struck a reef on the west coast of Scotland, on June 28, and went down within half an Lour. More than 500 of the passengers and crew perished. TWENTY KILLED IN TRAIN WRECK. At about seven o'clock on the evening of the 3rd, iust., a passenger train on the Wabash Railroad ran into an open switch at Litchfield, Illinois, and col lided with a freight train which was standing on the sidetrack. Three cars and the locomotive were piled up in a heap. The engineer, fireman, and about twenty passengers were killed, and from 4j to 60 passengers were in jured. The railroad officials say the switch had been tampered with. RUSSO-JAPANESE WAR. July 1. A naval battle is in progress between Cheloo and Peda. General Kuropatkin is falling back before the Japanese armies, and de clines to risk a general engagement. The rainy season has begun and it may soon be necessary to suspend land op erations until after tbe rainy season. July 2. -It is Buppoaed the Vice-Ad-miral Kamimura is in pursuit of the Vladivostok squadron, as it is known that he sighted it laet'night. The Japanese and Russians are each accusing the other of barbarous . treat, ment of the wounded and prisoners. July 4 General Kuroki reports that two battalions of Kussians attacked the Japanese outposts at Moo Tien Pass at awn, under cover of a dense fog. lhe Russians were repulsed, but returned and charged three times before they were finally driven off. The Japanese pursued them for three miles. July 5. Reports from Chinese sources state that the Japanese army investing Port Arthur, is only a mile from the Russian forces. Tbe Russian army is suffering from an epidemic of tvnboid fever. Jfore than 600 case uow umug treated, ia the hospitals. In two small engagements at Yanze- ling Pbbb, tbe RuBeiane were driven back with considerable loes. Tbe Russians claim that the rainy season will be of inestimable value to them, as it will put a stop to military operations until they ran have a force large enough to cope with the Japanese armies. Reports from Russian and from Jap anese sources are so conflicting that it is difficult to ascertain which is really getting the better of the fight. WATSON FOB PllESIDENT. Thomas E. Watson, of Georgia, and Thomas H. Tibbies, of Nebraska, are the Populist nominees for President and Vice-President, respectively. The plat form demands that all money be iseud directly by the Government, every dol lar to be a full legal tender: demands postal savings banks; upholds the right 01 labor to organize, and favors tne en actment of legislation lor tne improve' ment of the condition of the wageeaw era; demands the initiative and referen dum; favors prohibition of the alien ownership of lands; demands the with drawal of special privileges of trusts and monopolies, and declares tne Govern ment should own and control the rail loads, teleuiaph and telephone systems and should provide a parcels poet. The platform was adopted unanimously. JAPANESE ORDER CAVALUY HORSES. The Japanese government is stated to nave practically placed an order lor 10, 000 selected cavalry horses with a New York firm which supplied many cavalry horses to great Britain during tbe Boer War. It is understood that tne order calls for tbe smallest type of cavalry boree. of which a large supply is not readily obtainable. It is Insisted by the Japanese that the horses shall be de livered at tbe rate 01 2UUJ a month to transports on tbe Pacific Coast. Oregon Notes. A burglar who entered the room of Mrs. J . A. Dtihon, of Portland last Mondav night, met with an unexpected reception. Instead of lying still in fear and tremblinr. the plucky woman jump' ed out of bed, grasped the burglar, and began s?reamina. Two policemen heard her screams and responded promptly. Tbey succeeded in landing the would-be robber in jail. An unknown man, supposed to be from Portland, leaped from the bridge at Salem last Monday, and was drowned in the Willamette. Three boatmen weie near, and palled toward the spot where the man was seen struggling in water, but be disappeared before tbey could reach blm. The body has not been re covered and tbe identity of tbe man re mains a mystery. The Newberg correspondent of the Oregonian cent in the following account of the celebration at that place: "A comparatively 'sane Fourth of July' was experienced by Newberg yesterday. The casualties so far as reported are : One joaDg lady struck by a misdirected Roman candle and sent into hysterics, and removed from the scene of carnage; one young patriotic hopeful keeled over and stunned by an exploding skyrocket, and given over to tbe ministrations of the family physician; one baby buggy burned, no insurance." THREE CHILDREN DROWNED. Thiee children if John Sobeska were drowned Saturday in Mill Creek near Yankton, Columbia county. Their father, a respected farmer, is just re covering from wounds in tbe throat, eelf-inflicted, last Thursday. He had been injured by a falling tree last year, and his mind was affected. Saturday afternoon four of his children, Nettie, aged 22; Augusta, Eva and Johnnie, all. younger, went wading in the creek Dear their home. Nettie was caught in quick Band and shouted for' help to the other three. Tbey went to her reBcue, got beyond their depth and were drowned, while Nettie' herself managed to reach land. In her frantic efforts to save her brother and sisters, she became so ex hausted however, that her own life was saved only by a narrow margin. Au gusta was employed at one time at tbe St. (jtiaries Motel in Portland, and was engaged to be married. John Sobeeka, a grown bi other of tne ill fated ioung people, waa in Oregon City at the time of the calamity, and hurried here as soon as apprised of the drowning. Tbe charitable people of St. Helens and vic inity nave started a subscription for the bereaved father, who, in addition to being in serious condition liom his at tempted suicide, is in Btraitened. cir cumstances. Telegram. ( NEW O. C. T. BOAT. ;' The pretty little steamer "Oreaona" of the Oregon City Transportation-Co. arrived in this city at a late hour "last night from Portland, after the first day's run, and a prolonged blast from the musical whistle, which is different iron anything now on the river, brought i crowd of Salemites to the river front to welcome tbe new arrival, and foremost among them was Mr. C. 8. Hamilton. kwbo has won an enviable reputation as a promoter 01 transportation laciuties, The new steamer was commandetUby Captain J. A. Spong, who has the repu tation of being the most successful pilot on the river. The full complement- of officers are as follows : Captain A. J. Spong. Pilot -A. W. Graham. - ;.l First Officer Oats Cole. Purser Harry Symes; " Chief Engineer Harrv Linlev .V Second Engineer Claud Skinner. The Oregona is a new innovation on the river, inasmuch as she is a large boat and yet will float almost on moist ened ground. When empty sl e draws less than thirteen inches of water, is 132 feet long and 26 J4 feet beam. She has two engines with 9x48 inch cylinders, and with 210 pounds of steam will de velop 160 horse power, about as much as the steamer Altona. The ton yester day was made slowly, as the machinery was new 'nd untried. A bead of only 130 pounds of steam was carried, and during the day thirty-sevan stops were made lor freight and passengers. The boat was well loaded with freight for Salem, but she came over the bars with out even touching. She is a success, which is more than was ever before attained in building a low wal?' steamer for the Willamette No matter bow low the water becomes this summer, the Oregona may be de pended upon to reach her destination the same night. She is built of light timber, and her cabin and upper works are of the lightest possible material to avoid any unnecessary weight. Bhe iB neatly furnished in both cabins, most of the furniture and carpets being supplied Dy isuren & Hamilton of Salem The Oregona has taken the. Pomona s run, while the latter goes inTo drydock for repairs, and after she is again ready for business, the Altona will be taKeo permanently from the Salem run, and operated as a freight and accommodation boat. The Oregona will today go to in dependence and Sidney, and tomorrow will proceed on her regular run to Port land. Statesman. DYSPEPSIA ON THE DECLINE. Huntley Brothers Claim Pepsikola Cures 39 Cases out of 40. Why any one in Oregon City should continue to surfer with indigestion when a 25 cent box of Pepsikola will cure is certainly a mystery. Huntley Bros, have been selling Pkpbikola quite some time now. and they know from actual experience right in their owu store juit what this famous little chocolate coated dyspepsia tablet will do, and if you make inquiry these druggists will tell you tbey never knew a remedy to prove so decid edly beneficial in tbe treatment ot indi gestion, dyspepsia, palpitation, sleep lessness and other forms of stomach trouble. It certainly ougbt to give you confidence when you know that every box of Pepsikola contains 10 days treat ment, and at the end of that time if you are net decidedly benefitted all you need do is to go back to tbe druggist and get your money. Pepsikola is sold right on its own merits. It cares indigestion simolv bv tonlns ud tbe stomach and digestive organs so that the food will as similate and eive strength to the system, as nature intended. And Pepsikola is such a erand nerve tonic, too. J uit try a 15 cent box and see if it don't give you new energy, new ambition and new cour age to carry out your plans and daily work. If it doesn't, your money back. Wilson Sc Cooke have the best sulkey Rake in the market ; this a strong stat- ment but can easily be proved. LARS ANDERSON WILL. Court Decides ' in Favor Fred and Peter Madison. of County Judge Ryan rendered bis de cision Tuesday, in the Lars Anderson Will contest, denying the contesting pe tition of Rasmus Rasmussen and sus taining the will which bequeathed the property of Anderson to Fred and Peter Madison. Lars Anderson made a will in June, 1903, under which contestant, Rasmus sen, a nephew residing in Denmark, was the only beneficiary. In August of the same year he executed a second will be queathing all his property to his neph ews, Fred and Peter Madison. For the purpose of defeating this sec ond will in favor of the Madisons, Ras mussen, through his attorneys "U'Ren & "-"i'' iiti'ii.iaii..i i M,i,lmn.Vidji unit 4 LOU J.

Hayes filed a contesting petition, alleging that the Madison will had been made by Ander son under the representation to him that he was signing a contract for the sale of land, and alleging that he had been induced to sign while under the in fluence of morphine an 1 other drugs. O. W. Eastbam, conducting the case for the Madisons, sprung a surprise on the contestants in producing a torn up copy of the firBt will, which, he main tained, Anderson had destroyed under the belief that he was destroying the original will. Contestants claimed that Anderson had torn up tbe copy in order to create an impression that he bad de stroyed the will and produced a witness who testified that he bad advised An derson to do this. Fred and Peter Madison, who take the property under the decision of the Court, reside in this county. The estate is val ued at about $2500.

"I wish to say a few words in praise of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar rhoea Remedy " says Mrs. MattieBurge of Martinsville. Va. "I suffered from chronic Diarrhoea for ten years and dur mg that time tried various medicines without obtaining any permanent relief, Liist summer one of my children was taken with cholera morbus, and I pro cured a bottle of this remedy. Only two bottles were required to give her entire relief, . 1 then decided to try the medi cine myself, and did sot use all of one bottle before I was well and I have never since been troubled with that complaint. One cannot say too much in favor of that wonderful medicine." This remedy is for sale by Geo. A. Harding. Proclamation.

In numerous instances public atten tion has been called to arbitrary methods that have been employed in bureaucratic administration of the var ious Governmental departments. Pro test has been frequent and vigoreous gainst what is conceived to be an evil. but protest has had little or no effect. ibe latest development of thiB character s the ruling ot the roBtoihce Depart ment as to tbe application of the new law providing for an increase of salary for the rural free-deliverv carrier. It was the common conception that the intent of the law was to increase the salaries of all carriers of this class in ti e same f rop rtion,but the Department hi a seen tit to think otherwise, and it is extremely douLtlul if the organized as severation of unfairneBB on the part of the carriers will avail to change its de termination, It may be an erroneous construction to place on the acts of the Postollice De partment, as pertaining to the rural free delivery men, to the effect that the lattera interests are in no wise consider ed ; but, on the contrary, there is an apparent disposition to subject them to unjust restrictions and inequitable ad justment ot salaries that will make tbe position as undesirable as possible. If this is not tbe purpose of tbe Departmet, its true intent appears to be quite suo cessfully disguised. Privileges that were of personal financial value to the carrier and an accommodation to the public. without interfering with tbe efliceucy of toe service, so tar as anyone could oh serve, have been withdrawn, and now a misunderstandable ruling' has been made ;with reference to a matter that seemed plain enough to the ordinary citizen which despoils the lower-grade carrier of what he had every reasonable lirnt to expect.' Ibe hlir tier-wade men in this branch of the service are joining their brotntrs in tbe protest tbat is be ing made against rnling of the Depart ment. The protest promises to be general, and assuredly It has good loun dation. Telegram. Baseball Players And Foot Racers 1 Louis J.

Your correspondent yesterday had a chat with Dr. Harvey W. Wiley at his office in the Department of Agriculture, where he is now inaugurating an inves tigation into the effecis of cold storage' upon articles of fodd. The doctor has concluded his investigation of food pre servatives and coloring matters in food to determine their relation to digestion and health. The bulletin giving the re sult is now in press and will prove a val uable addition to hygienic knowledge. The effect of cold storage, sterilization, etc., upon human health has never been investigated ; it is a new and inviting field, much needing exploration, Bince the practice of putting all kinds of food fnto cold storage is almost universal and on the increase. "This is not of our initiative," said Dr. Wiley, 'it is at tha request of Congress." "Yes," I replied, "I was in the Sen ate when renator Stewart moved to amend the Pure Food bill by adding an inquiry into the effects of cold storage. " "We are working in cooperation with the cold storage people," continued Dr. Wiley, "and I find them broad-minded, intelligent men, anxiously interested to know the limits of the business. I mean to go to the bottom and get all the facts. There must be somewhere a line drawn between where cold storage is beneficial and where it is harmful. I have never said, as reported, that meat could be kept in cold storage for a year. Possibly game may have been. Fish should al ways, be eaten as soon as posBible after being taken from the water. Up to a certain point cold storage improves beef and fruit, especially apples; the beef ripens and becomes more tender. But if kept beyond a certain point it deterior ates, and when taken out is subject to decay much quicker. "What," I asked, do you think of put ting poultry into a cold storuu bofuie it has been drawn, then exposing it for sale ia the market, puttinsr it back strain. and so repeating the process indefinitely, allowing it to thaw and refreeze until at last it has been sold? I have Been such in the Washiugton market." "mat muBt be very bad," replied the doctor. "I Bhall investigate that mat ter, too; we will serve to our boarders cold storage poultry, drawn and nn drawn, and try to discover the differ ence." 'What about JutUr in nnld atoraim. doctor?". "Butter can never be improved. Itia always best when fresh from the churn. It is put in cold storage simply to keep it for a better market and to check chem ical changes which have a tendency to make it rancid. But in cold storage but ter will not change so much in three montliB as it might in a week under un favorable conditions outside. Cold stor age is a godsend to all deaUrs in perish able food ; the point is not to carry it too far." I asked the durtor if his recommended summer diet ot tiue, potatoes and sugar was not rather too highly concentrated for perfect health. "Of course," he replied, "One must eat a proper quantity of fruit and vege tables. Bat one can hardly call potatoes concentrated food, with only twenty per cent of solid matter. One can hardly eat too much of them. I think we Amer icans overeat. Especially do we eat too much meat, and I said this before meat was high, too. Look at the Japanese, who live largely on rice and eut much less food than we do, vet they fight. Succulent fresh vegetables and well rip ened fruits should constitute the princi pal summer diet, and ice-wator and icod beverages should all be Bipped slowly if taken at all. CLIMATE AND CROP HE PORT. GENERAL BtlMMAKY. The weather during the last week was variable. The 28th and 211th were very hot, alter which it turned cooler and good rains fell in the eastern sections, but none of consequence occurred in the western part or the htaie. 111 tne Willamette valley the drought continues and a 1 ':t2 c.":ps are suffering and badly need rain. I lia fall grain harvest has just begun, and It will become general In about a week, ihe crop is good nearly everywhere, except In the Grand Ronde and Powder River val leys, where it was badly damaged by the frost of last week. The frost in that sec tion was unusually severe, and, besides damagrng grain in the head, it cut all ten der vegetables to the grouod and injured considerable fruit. Spring grain is doing poorly, especially in the Willamette valley and in southern Oregon, where it is head ing so short that fears are entertained that many fields will have to be cut for hay. Good progress has been made in har vesting the hay crop, much of which is now safely secured. The yields are gener ally reported light, especially timothy,' which In a number of localities turned out to be almost a failure. Vetch yielded well and clover was but slightly, below the average. .. Hops, corn and potataes need more rain; potatoes have suffered the most' Hops, although still green, have not their usual vigor at this season of the year, and the growers do not expect a full crop. Some damage to alfalfa by grasshoppers is reported, but otherwise all crops are re markably free from Insect pests. Apples continue to give promise of good yields, and It Is expected that a fairly good crop of peaches will be picked. Indigestion. With its companions, heart burn, flatulence, torpidity of the liver, consti pation, palpitation of the heart, poor biood, headache and other nervous symptoms, sallow skin, foul tongue, of fensive breath and a legion of other ail meuts, is at once the most widespread and destructive malady among the American people. The Heroine treat ment wi!l cure all these troublei. 50c bottle. For ale by Charmau & Co.
