No Tidings of the German Oil Car- ricr Kinndrn. The well-known German bark Klandra, Captain H. Bunje, which sailed from Philadelphia for Portishead. England, on October 23. laden with 5S01 barrels of naphtha. 1000 barrels of gasoline and 500 barrels of benzine, and, never since been heard from, is believed to have blown up at sea, and all hands, 14 in number, killed. The first intimation of the vessel's prob able loss was contained in a cablegram received at New York from London, which stated that at Lloyds' SO guineas per cent were being demanded to effect her reinsur ance. Her cargo is qne of the most dan erouc that is carried by vessels, and the Klandra, being in every way a stanch craft, her probable loss, with all hands, can be traced to no other cause than an explosion. The missing vessel is one of the smart est sailers afloat, and had not some seri ous accident overtake!- her, she should have reached her destination not later than November 25. Very heavy weather was experienced on the Atlantic soon after the Klandra sailed, and if her cargo got loose in the hold, friction could be easily caused by the barrels, which are all bound with Iron hoops, rubbing together, and creating a spark which would be sure to ignite the gases arising in the craft's hold The Klandra, In her day, was the fa mous passenger clipper City of Paris, i built at Connels' shipyards, Glasgow, Scotland, in 1862. Despite her 40 years of service she appeared like a new ves sel, and maintained Lloyds' highest class. She Is 990 tons register, 210 feet long, 31 feet beam, 21 feet deep, and Is owned in Bremen by H. Blschoff. Her hull Is constructed of iron. The value of the cargo was $49,100. PLEIADES IS SAFE.

' Law Which Provides Thnt Stock of Goods 3Iay Not Be Sold "Without Affidavit Is Discussed. Attorney J. E. Bronaugh argued before Judge Sears yesterday that the law of 1901. providing that a person must not purchase a stock of goods from another without first obtaining an affidavit from the seller concerning his liabilities and In forming the creditors, does not apply to a hotel. This law was passed to protect wholesalers from being defrauded by re tailers who might sell out and run away without paying their bills. In the case at issue Francle Barker and , C. Martin sola the City View Hotel to W. H. Wilson. Barker and Martin owed M. Gaglletto, who filed suit against them after they had sold out, and attached the hotel effects then in the possession of Wilson. They brought suit to set aside the attachment and also for damages. The new law regarding the sale of goods in bulk was set up as -one of the. defenses. Mr. Bronaugh said it docs not apply. He argued that hotel furniture, dishes and so forth are never referred to as goods In bulk. No more than stock on a farm. He said the law applied to goodo sold by a wholesaler to a retailer to be sold again. Such goods belonged to the wholesaler until he was paid for them. Judge Sears took the matter under advisement. The opposing counsel stood on the law. MANY CRIMINALS PLEAD. January Term of Circuit Court Be gins With Brisk Business. The January term of the State Circuit Court opened yesterday morning.

BIrrell. from a barn on the East Side, pleaded guilty and was sentenced by Judge George to eight months In the County Jail. Barrett stated that he had never been arrested before, and said he would like to get off as easy as he could. He was at first inclined to ask for a lawyer and to stand trial, but finally eald the best thing to do was to admit that he was rightly accused. B. J. Rozler, indicted for larceny of a carving set from' the store of the Honey- man Hardware Company, was arraigned and was granted time until Wednesday to plead. Thomas McHale, charged with shoplift ing, was allowed untl Wednesday to plead. He is accused of the larceny of a woman s hat from the store of Olds, Wortman & King. George C.

BOTH SIDES WIN. Compromise Decision Is Rendered in Steamboat Case. Judge George in tho suit of Joseph Paquet against Captain E. W. Spencer to recover about $S00 balance, due on account of the building of the steamboat C. R. Spencer, yesterday rendered a compromise decision.

The penalty was $25 per day for overtime. Spencer put In a counter claim for $1902, including numerous Items. He alleged- that Paquet did not follow the model, that the wheel was too high out of the water. and said the boat was crooked. Paquet says the boat is well built, and the fastest in the river. Captain Spencer prepared the plans and specifications. Judge George In rendering his decision alluded to thla fact, and said Spencer was known as an expert steamboat man, and Paquet as a successful builder.

The preamble and the first section of the act is as follows: Whereas, The Legislative Assembly of the Territory of Oregon at Its regular session held In 1855 and 1656, In January. 185C. passed an act reciting: that, ' by an unprovoked hostile outbreak of all the Indian tribes on the fron tier of Oregon, a general war existed between the people of said territory and the said In dian tribes, and authorizing the Governor to employ tho full military force of the terri tory and call for and accept the services of any number of volunteers, not exceeding1 three full regiments, who might offer their services as mounted riflemen to serve six months after they shall arrive, at the place of rendezvous, or to the end of ' the war unless sooner dis charged, and did further provide In said act as follows: "Section 4. "Whenever such volun teers are called and received Into the service of the territory by virtue of this act. each noncommissioned olncer and private shall bo entitled to receive $2 per day and rations and $2 per day for the use and risk ot his horse, except for horses actually killed in action, un avoidably lost or reported unfit for service and turned over to the Quartermaster; In which j case the owner shall receive the appraised value thereof. And all commissioned officers shall receive the same pay as ofilcers of the same rank In the Army of the United States; provided, that commissioned officers shall re ceive tho same pay for the use and risk of horses as noncommissioned officers. "Section 5. This act. so far as the same re lates to the pay of volunteers, shall be so construed a3 to apply to all who have been in the service of the territory since tho com mencement of the existing war, and It shall also extend to the service of the Ninth Regiment of Oregon Militia while In actual service In said war." And, Whereas, Scrip has been Issued In payment for horses and the United States has paid such volunteers the sum of 54H cents per day for their services. Now therefore. Be it enacted by the Legislative Assembly of the State ot Oregon: Section 1.

The second section provides that no payments shall be made under the act except to the veteran, his widow or his children, as aforesaid.

IG NACE, MICHIGAN, Relates an Experience Which, He Says, Taught Him a Valua ble Lesson. "I have had an experience which taught me a valuable lesson," said the Hon. Thomas F. Madden, former Mayor of St. Ignace, Mich., to a reporter the other day. It was while crossing the Gulf of Mexico," he continued, "in an attempt to recover my health, that the sugges tion came to me. For twenty years I had been a sufferer from Indigestion. It tortured me. I could not eat a hearty meal, and even the lightest food dis tressed me. I was treated by several very able physicians, but grew worse all the time. In fact, nothing helped me until I tried Dr. Williams Pink Pills. "Chronic indigestion had brought on a whole train of other troubles. I be came nervous, suffered from violent headaches and biliousness and I think I would have given every cent I pos sessed to find relief. But I became more miserable, and finally in despair I de termined to take a southern trip. "On the steamer bound for Galveston I chanced to see Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People mentioned in a newspaper article. As soon as we land ed I purchased a box of the pills, and they gave me almost instantaneous re lief. If it had'nofc been for them I think I should have starved to death. I grew constantly better, and in a short time I was cured. "It is now over a year since these pills cured me. My stomach Is sound and my digestion Is perfect. I can eat heartily of the richest food, my nerves are quiet, my blood good, and I feel well and strong. I have been made a well man by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People," The Hon. Mr. Madden's address is St. Ignace, Mich., and he is willing to cor roberate the statement given above. The power of Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People in the vast number of diseases due to impure blood or to de rangements of the system has been demonstrated In thousands of instances as remarkable as his.
