A Revolver Accident.
George and Harry Reid, sons of Mr W.I
F. Reid. aged about thirteen and eight,
had a small gun experience Saturday
evening. They were pi tying near one of
the slaughters houses in the western part
of the city when one of the employes at
the houe let George ha ve a small revolver
used to kill hogs with.to shoot at a mark.
Tney went out a short distance for the
purpose when it was suggested that
Harry throw up his hat for George to hit.
This he was about to do when George in
getting the revolver ready, accidentiy dis
charged it, and of course the bullet took
a bee line for Harry. It hit him in one
of his thighs going through the fleshy
part into the other leg. rJeingin the
fleshy part tt riid not hurt him much and
will not be very serious. George pot
Harry on his back and carried him all
the way home, nearly half a mile. The
ball was extracted and the boy is doing
well.
A Ghost at Vaquina.
Mr. Saman Myer , news agent oa the
O. C. & E. running to the Bay, has been
having his share of experiences at Ya
qnina recently, ia fact the "ooya" over
there having been trailing on his tracks
One night last week Seman was enjoy
ing the evening, awhile after dark aione
in the terminus city, when an awful ap
parition appeared before htm, ghostly in
the extreme, spectral and startling in its
ehostliness. Was Seman frightened.
The ghost now declares that his hair
stood on end, that he turned pale.as well
as on his heels and never stopped run
ning until he reached bis room, when be
locked his door and was hid from public
view until next morning. Not satisfied
with this joke, the next night Seman
-was given another scare of a different
kind. Upon going to his room, jast as
he shoved the door open and stepped in
side a man stuffed and prepared for the
occasion fell upon him, his long arms
flopping around him, He had been ar
ranged so as to fall just in the right
place. Mr. Meyer made himselt scarce
an donble quick time, and is now won
dering what will happen next. Perhaps

The drummer is (J ways eqapj to the

wben a farmer run against them with "a
Winchester rifle in one hand and a
pheasant, which had been given him by
a man whom he permitted to hnnt on his
place. He was about to annihilate the
crotd for trespassing on his place when
the drummer resorted to the following
tacfics:
"Don't you know it is against the lav
to hunt Chinese pheasants with a ride.
That shoots over one-hundred yards
does'ntit?"
"Yes."
"Well, my name is MoGuire and I will
have to arrest you," reaching in his
pocket.
The farmer trembled and said "Oh,
yon may hnnt wherever you plsase,"and
they did, he showing them where the
celestials were wont to run. With an Al

for the dines to survey out a road into

men will be hired to build the highway.
It is estimated that the road will cost be

saw mill to the mines as soon as possible
as it is needed to get out the necessary
timbers to be ush1 in the tunnel and

The New Hook Spoon Free to All
I read in the Christian Standard that
Miss A.M. Fritz, b tat ion A, St Louis,

spoon to anyone sending her ten 2 cent
stamps. I rent for one and found it so
uselul that I showed it to my mends,
and made $13-00 in two hours, taking
orders for the spoon- The hook spoon
is a household necessity. It cannot slip
into the dish or cooking vessel, being
held in the place by a book on tbe back
The spoon is something that house
keepers pave needed ever since spoons
were first invented. Anyone can get a
sample spoon by sending fen 2 cent
stamps to Mtssrritz. Tins is a splendid
way lo make money around borne.

A Chance to Make Money
I have berries, grapes and peaches, s

the California Cold process, do not heat
or seal thj f rait, just put it up cold,
keens perfectly fresh, and costs almost
nothing; can put up a bushel in ten
minutes. ' Last week I sold directions to
over 120 families ; anyone will pay a dol
lar for directions, when they see the
beautiful samples of fruit. - Aa there are
many people poor like myself, I consider
it my duty to give my experience to such
and feel confident any one can make one
or two hundred dollars round home in s
few days. I will mail sample of fruit
and complete directions, to any Of your
readers, for eighteen two-cent stamps,
which is only the actual cost of the
samples, postage, etc., to me.

The bugyv of J. 8. was a very trim little

Pague's U. S. Crop Report.
Harvesting and threshing is practically
completed and the grain safely stored.
The rains during the first part of the
week, together with the rains during the
first week in August, materially changed
the prospects of the late sown grain
crops in the Willamette valley and in
Coos and Curry counties. While ibe
late- sown grain crcp was unsuccessful, it
was not tbe failure which was anticipated
through the paevalence of the July
drought. All farm work is well ad
vanced. Borne farmers are read v to aeed
grain, having taken advantage of the op
portunity to summer-fallow after the
early August rains put the ground in
condition. Potatoes aradninir wll mil
i will make a fairly good crop; the vines
are sun green in many localities and tbe
rain of the past was a benefit.
Hop-picking wilt commence in earnest
dnring the coming week. It is thought
mat many yards will be left unpicked,
notwithstanding the excellent quality of
tbe product. Tbe hops are cleaner this
year than tbey have been for many years.
The Western Oregon fruit crcp was not
a success, but there ia plenty for home
consumption. Correspondents sute that
the young orchards have made a very
rapid growth, and that tbe trees will be
in good condition to bear a crop next
season.
A UsxLcaa Tsr. Monday wa Labor
Day and most people labored with s ven
geance, wholly unconscious that it waa a
legal holiday. There waa to have been
a civil action In tbe court, bnt it was d:s
covered that it waa Labor Day snd tbe
trial was postponed nntil yesterday af
ternoon. An Albany attorney was on
band in connection with tbe case and
when he learned that the day waa a le
gal holiday and that all legal business
consummated would therefore be illegal,
he put back to Albany post-haste, stal
ing that tbe Albany attorneys were, un

Make the Most of Yourself.
It is the duty of every man to make
the most ot himself. Whatever his ca
pactUes may be, he ia sure to find some
clace where he can be useful to himself
and to others. But he cannot reach his
highest usefulness without ffood health
snd he cannot have (rood health without
purs blood. The blood circulates to
every organ and tissue and when it is
pure, rich in health it carries health to
the entire system, but ii it is impure it
scatter disease wherever it flows. Hood's
Sarsaparilla is the one true blood juri-
ner. it cures salt rheum, scrotuia, ca-
tarrh, dyspepsia and rheumatism be
