16 THE MORNING OREGONTAN, THURSDAY. MARCH 26, ltWS. VESSEL STRIKES E Steam Schooner Washington Fouls Draw and Delays Traffic fer an Hour. PASSAGE NOT WIDE OPEN Craft in C'liarpe of Pilot Emkcri and in Trying to Back Throuch, the Main Iticsinir Catches on the Draw Waterfront - "otes. The steam schooner Washington, while shifting from the Oak-street dock to Couch Blreet. yesterday afternoon, fouled the draw of the Burnside-street bridsre and caused some damage to herseif and to the bridge. Traffic was held for more than an hour and the steamer will be compelled to undergo slight repairs before she will be able to proceed to San Fran cisco. The steamer was in charge of Pilot Harry Emken. The draw was not opened to the full width on account of a pila drlvcr employed in setting the piling for the new drawrest. As the Washington was backing down she caught the cur rent and her main rigging on the port side fouled the draw. The bow of the vessel swung around to the eastward and as the current caught -he steamer phe drifted onto the draw pier with her foremast on the east side of the pier and the mainmast on the west side. The steamers Wenona, Waunda and M. F. Henderson went to the assistance of the Washington and pulled her out. Repairs are being made to the draw pier and there is nothing to act as a fender for a steamship passing through. J lad the man on the pile-driver scow slacked off his lines and permitted the draw to swing wide open there would have been no accident. The Washington struck the draw of the bridge with great force, causing it to rock bark and forth. Engineer Stutsman was In the englneroom above the draw, nd he said lie thought the draw would be pushed into the river. Two steamers were required to pull the Washington out from under the bridge. About J150 dam age was done to the bridge. The in cident caused much excitement and Mteetcar traffic was suspended for some time. ' MARE MERRY OX SHIP'S WIXE Sailors Celebrate Xew Year's Evans Bombarding; the Ocean. SAN FRANCISCO. March 25. The crew of the British ship Allerton, which arrived here yesterday from Hamburg, determined to spend a merry New "Year's day, broached the cargt) of wine which the vessel carried amidships.

WHEAT IS WEAK ALL DAY Good Crop lie ports From the South west Are the Principal Bearish Factors at Chicago Corn Also Slumps. CHICAGO. March 2S. Pit traders in the wheat market - were bearish' inclined throughout the entire session today, owing to reports emanating from the Southwest which claimed that the Fall-sown crop was in good condition, but offerings from this source were not sufficient to cause any de cline until augmented during the final hour by heavy sales by several leading commission-houses. This combined selling pressure caused a sharp decline' from which the mar ket failed to rally. May opened unchanged to He higher at ftr.s 9jic, advanced to 95c and then declined to IHc. The close was weak at P4-3bC Corn was strong during the greater part of the session, but weakened later in the day on heavy realizing sales.

Graham Tells of His Trouble With "Umbrella Jimmy." In explanation of the eviction of James -Sheridan ("Umbrella Jimmy") from the houseboat In which he and his wife have made their home for the past eight years, O. P. Graham, the owner ot the ground where 'Jimmy's" craft came ashore during a freshet years ago, and where it had remained ever since, told his side of the eviction proceedings yes terday. Mr. Graham Bald that when the enlargement of his business made it necessary to use the ground which his squatter tenant had pre-empted, he told the old fellow he must move away and was met with a storm of abusive lan guage and obscenity which made it necessary for the boatyard owner to cause the man's arrest. "Jimmy" was sent to the Butte by Judge Cameron for 15 days, but, on his release, said Mr. Graham, he again became abusive, and complaints were frequently made by per sons who passed that way. "I offered to provide a room in the neighborhood for the old fellow and his wife." said Mr. Graham, "but he refused to move away from the property, so I was compelled to have him sent away by process of law, both because I need the ground in my business and because his offensive language made him a nuisance in the neighborhood. I feel that I did everything possible to make things right with these people and desire to put my self in the correct light before the people of Portland, some of whom may have received the impression that I acted in a hard-hearted manner.'

"WEAKNESS" To produce temporary activ ity of the functions in cases of so-called weakness is a simple matter, but to permanently re store strength and vigor Is a problem that but few physi cians have solved. I never treat for temporary effects. Under my system of treatment, every bit of improvement is a part of a permanent cure. Though other physicians have, through my success in effect ing permanent cures, been con vinced of the fart that pre matureness, loss of power, etc., are but symptoms reuniting from chronic inflammation or congestion in the prostate gland, none have as yet been able to duplicate my cures. My system of local treatment Is the only effective means yet known for restoring the p'ros tate to its normal state, which always results in full and com plete return of strength and vigor. Such a cure is abso lutely permanent, because the condition responsible for tha functional disorder Is entirely removed. It is the only kind of a cure a patient desires. , and Is the -only kind of cure I will treat for. CONSULTATION FREE I state nothing in my an nouncements but the straight, square truth.

Like all other blood diseases, Catarrh comes from poisons and impurities accumulating in the circulation which irritate and inflame the tissues and mucous surfaces, and then the unpleas ant symptoms of the disease are manifested. There is a ringing noise in the ears, a thin, watery discharge from the nostrils, filthy matter drops back into the throat, the breath has an offensive odor, and many other annoying and unpleasant symptoms are characteristic of the trouble. Sprays, washes, inhalations, etc., cannot reach the blood, and are therefore valuable only for the temporary relief they afford. To cure Catarrh the blood must be purified. Nothing equals S. S. S. for thi3 purpose; it goes down into the circulation, removes the catarrhal matter, purifies the blood and makes a lasting cure. When S. S. S. has removed the cause, the blood being pure and healthy nourishes the membranes and tissues instead of irritating them with noxious matter, and the symptoms all pass away.
