was however, made of our Sheriff
and Green soeudiog one day in the
wilds of Sap Creek on a fishing
ing excursion, nor that Green met
toe EbeMff of Liuccln tt the train in
a carriagejiatt Friday week, nor
that Green upon reaching Toledo
was approached by Jack Alphin for
a bailiff-hip in his court, supposing
him to be Judge Harris.
Mre. Green was treated by the
sheriff of Linn with equal consider
ation, she being a constant com
pinion of the sheriffs wife, doing
shopping for the sheriff's family
and constituting one of the sheriff's
family during her four month's so
journ in Linn. Sheriff Whit9 and
wife took enough interest in their
prisoner, or gu s', to go to Toledo
for two days duricg court toempha

Green.

Vienna, July 29. The aged em
peror of Austria evidently doss not
propose to be caught napping like
the aged king of Sweden. There
has been so much talk regarding
the possible peaceable separation of
Hungary, Austria playing the part
of Swedtn, Hungary the part of
Norway, that the rulers of the dual
kingdom have apparently decided
to put a stop to it, and tbey are
preparing to show the people of
Hungary that any attempt at seces
sion will be put down with the
sword.
The Alledeutsche Tageblatt of
Vienna is authority 'Jot the state
ment th8t the military authorities
of Austria are preparing for the
eventuality of a campaign against
Hungary, should that country con
tinue its resistance to the emperor.
The nsws is correct. At the com
mand of the heir of the thrown, the
Archduke Francis Ferdinand, who
represents the emperor in the su
preme command of the army, mili
tary preparations are already bing
made with a view to adopting forc
ible methods should Hungary se
cede or declare her intention to do
so in open parliament.
As it was feared that Hungary
might tnke this etep, the Hungari
an parliament on the day of its op
ening was adjourned to September
15.
Proclamation.
Portland, July 30. Oregonian
As the result of the decision of
Judge Frazer granting Trail mana
gers' permission to keep oDen their
places of amusement on Sunday,
prominent ministers at home and
abroad will likely refuse to come to
Portland to make addresses at the
Auditorium.
Notwithstanding the attitude of
churchmen, the Trail will do busi-
n'8 on Sunday. Henry Reed said
la t night that the decision of the
cc urt would have to stand. "The
m tter has been decided." Faid Mr.
R d, "and there is nothing we cao
d '. The court bas ruled that the
T .U can run and that is all there
if ti it. . I do not see that we caD
re gnize any proteston the part
of me ministers."

Child Not Expected to Live from One
Hour to Another, but Cured by
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Itemedy.
Kuth, the little daughter of E. 2f. Dewey
of Agnewville, Va., was seriously ill of
cholera infantum last summer. "We gave
her up and did not expect her to live from
one hour to another," he says. "I happened
to think of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy and got a bottle of it
from the store. In five hours I saw a change
for the better. AVe kept on giving jt and
before she had taken the half of one small
bottle she was well." This remedy is for sale
by Graham & Wortham. '
