ESCAPED FROM CHILL
THE DANGEROUS ADVENTURE OF
DETECTIVE W. M. LUGO.
' Compelled to Cross the Mountain oa
Muleback Taken Sick During
the Journey.
From the Examiner, San Francisco, Cal,
Four years ago, at the time of the
trouble between the United States and
Chili, as a result of the killing of the
sailors of the U. S. S. Baltimore, in
the streets of a Chilian city, many
Americans were obliged to leave the
country for safety. Among them was
W. M. Lugg, the private deteotive and
oolleotor, whose offioe is in the Crocker
building, San Francisco, Cal.
. When Mr. Lugg left Chili he went
aoroes the mountains into Argentine,
traveling on muleback.
Mr. Lugg says that the trip is a de
lightful one in point of beautiful
scenery and perfect weather, but many
people dislike to undertake it on ac
count of the unhealthf ul stagnant water
which they are compelled to drink
along the way. MaDy persons have
been stricken down with disease from
having drank of it, and in a number of
oases the attacks have proven fatal.
The native Chilians drink the water
without injury to their systems, but it
has a bad effect upon those who are
' not used to it.
"I fell a victim to the injurious
, qualities of the water," said Mr. Lugg.
"It affected my kidneys to an alarming
degree. When I got over into Argen
tine I thought the trouble would grad
ually leave me, but instead of that it
grew more aggravated and I suffered
terribly from pains in the region of my
kidneys. I was en route to Chicago
. and I determined to reach my destina
tion before the complaint should grow
so serious as to confine me to my bed.
Upon reaching Chicago I at once con
sulted' a physioian, who told me my
kidneys had been affected by drinking
polluted water. He treated me for
some time for that complaint, but I
grew steadily worse and new ailments
were added to my already serious con
dition. I began to have neuralgic
pains in my head, my spine was affect'
: ed with shooting pains and I had no
- control over the urinary organs. It
-: was next to impossible for me to get
. any sleep. I lay awake many a night
suffering the most intense pains, and
" the physician unable to relieve them.
"But relief came at last. One day
one of my friends came to my room
. and handed me a box of Williams'
Pink Pills. Of course I laughed at
- him for daring to think that any patent
. medioine could aid me when my physi
cian had failed. I took the pills, how
ever, to oblige my friend more than
for any faith I had in them, and I was
- treated to the most joyous surprise of
' my life when I realized that I was oe
: ing relieved of my pains. First the
- peculiar pains along my spine ceased,
and then my neuralgic trouble began
- to grow less and finally left me entire
ly. It took a good while to improve
- the oondition of my kidneys, but after
I had taken a number of boxes of the
. pills I knew taht they had done their
work successfully, for then I had re
gained control of the. urinary organs
and the action of my kidneys was
strong and steady. -
"When I thought I was out of all
danger I quit taking the pills. The
relief they had afforded was perma
; nent, however, and I have never sinoe
. felt a recurrence of the complaints. I
hardly know how to praise Williams'
i Pink Pills as they should be praised.
They certainly are a wonderful prepa
j ration. I have recommended them to
a number of my friends who were
. suffering from kidney complaints, and
they have all been benefited by their
i use." " - ''

With a better understanding of the
, transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper ef
forts gentle efforts pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed bo highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene
ficial effects, to note when you pur
chase, that you have the genuine arti
cle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists,
r If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
-afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
ved and gives most general satisfaction.

FOREST FIRE RAGING.
Destruction Done on Washington Side
of Columbia.
Astoria, Or., Aug. 81. A forest fire
of immense extent raged tonight be
tween Oak Point and Eagle Cliff, on
the Washington side of the Columbia.
Many cattle have burned to death, the
number being estimated at 200. All
kinds of animals are dropping- dead
from the excessive heat.
The amount of timber already de
stroyed is estimated at from 10,000,000
to 20,000,000 feet. All of the build
ings at Benson's logging and lumber
ing camp have gone up in flames.
A wall of flame three miles long,
leaping to the tops of the highest trees,
renders it impossible to get direct com
munication to the scene of the trouble.
A month ago a fire broke out in the
same district, which, notwithstanding
the recent rains,rsmoldered and broke
out afresh the other day.
It is feared that many lives have
been lost, as escape has been practic
ally shut off.
One man who watched the fire from
a distance says he saw immense green
trees lioked up by the flames as if they
had been dry saplings.
This is tie worst blow this com
munity has ever received and it is
doubtful whether the principal loggers
will be able to recover from their
losses.
Benson's logging company is one of
the largest institutions of the kind on
the Columbia river. It owns acres of
property, two locomotives, three don
key engines, and a well-equipped tram
way, with every modern device for
handling the business. Sixty-five men
are employed in the camp.
Tonight further advices show that
the fire now covers ten square miles of
valuable timber. Each square mile is
estimated to contain between 20,000,
000 and 30,000,000 feet of timber, and
it is thought that the loss already in
curred on the stumpage alone is more
than $10,000. The sight of the burn
ing timber is a grand one beyond de
scription. The noise of the flames, the
popping of the timbers as they succumb
to the heat, the terrific-looking clouds
of fire and smoke, and the showers of
cinders falling in all directions make
a truly awe-inspiring scene.
TRIP IN AN AIRSHIP.

ANNEXATION OF HAWAII.
Said to Be the Object of Minister
Willis' Vii.lt.
Honolulu, Aug. 31. Minister Willis

close President Cleveland's intentions
until the return of President Dole. who
is now absent on the island of Maui.
A Battle With Indians.
Wichita, Kan., Aug. 31. One hund
red and fifty squaw men and 100 full
blood Indians and halfbreeds had a
pitched battle in the streets of Wewo
ka, in the Seminole reservation, In
dian territory. Three full-bloods and
two halfbreeds were killed, and several
wounded on both sides. Troops from
Fort Carey were summoned, and their
prompt arrival saved great slaughter.
At the last meeting of the Seminole
council a law was passed ordering the
immediate expulsion of all white men
from the reservation. The efforts of
the Indian police to puf into effect the
order of expulsion is what caused the
trouble. '

THE SYNDICATE DISSOLVED.
Due to the Favorable Turn In the Fi
nancial Situation.
New York, Aug. 81. It is under
stood that, on account of the recent
favorable turn in the financial situa
tion, the exchange syndicate may be
said to have virtually dissolved. It is
said, the only operation of the syndioate
was the sale at one time of 240,000

Chairman F. B. Tappen, of the
clearing-house loan oommittee, says no
applications for loan certificates are
expeoted in the near future. Tappen
expressed the opinion that the imports
of gold were sufficient for the time be
ing to relieve the domestic money situa
iton. The total amount ordered and
afloat is estimated at 110,000,000.
Money on call in the boardroom
touched 15 per cent today, but only a
small amount was loaned at that figure.
A considerable amount was loaned at
from 8 to 10 per cent. At extreme
high figures a prominent firm broke
the rate by lending $1,000,000 in scat
tering amounts at 6 per cent.
BULLET IN HIS BREAST.
John Sevenson, s Fisherman, Found
Dead Near Astoria.
Astoria, Or., Aug. 81. John Sven
son, a fisherman, was found dead at
Clifton this morning, with a bullet
wound in his breast. At first it was
thought Svenson committed suicide,
but Coroner Pohl's investigation now
makes it appear that it was a case of
murder instead. Svenson was the
keeper of the scow from which a
woman and two men, whose dead
bodies were afterward found, disap
peared during the fisherman's strike, a
few months ago. It is surmised that
Svenson knew something of the mur
derers of these people, and, under the
stimulus of the rewar offered by the
oounty court, was about to make some
damaging disclosures, and hence- his
taking off.
DRAGGED TO DEATH.
Horrible Fate of Frank Fell In Walla
Walla County.
Walla Walla. Aug. 31. Frank Fell,
the 14-year-old son of Howard Fell,
living near Prescott, this oounty, was
dragged to death by a horse last night.
Yesterday evening he left the house,
leading a horse to pasture. He did
not return, and his father went out to
look for him. He was found 800
yards from the house in "a wheat field,
dead. The body was badly mangled,
while the horse was grazing near by,
still held by the rope twisted about the
boy's right wrist. Young Fell's neck
was broken, both arms fractured, and
every part of his body torn and bleed
ing. Investigation showed that the
horse had dragged the boy through
three barb-wire fences and over 200
yards of stubble field.

A Soubrette's Life
New York, Aug. 31. Among the
merry-hearted soubrettes who amused
the public at one of the Coney Island
resorts yesterday was Mrs. Millie
Azevedo. Just before she went on the
stage she received a telegram from the
Spanish consul in New York, announc
ing with official brevity that her hus
band, Raymond Azevedo, had been
shot and killed in Cuba, but when and
where and whether by revolutionists
or royal troops, the dispatch did not
state.
Mrs. Azevedo said her husband was
a mine operator, 37 years old. He was
a Cuban, but when she met him in
San Francisco a year and a half ago he
had been in business there for several
months. She was living in the same
city with her parents, her maiden name
being Heim. After a courtship of two
months they were married. Business
called Mr. Azevedo East, and his wife
came with him. In the winter he was
summoned to the Azores. He left his
wife well provided for, and said he
would return in less than four months.
Since then Mrs. Azevedo said she bad
recieved no word from him.. Her
funds giving out and having a good
voioe, she went on the stage to support
herself.

The Platform.
"We, the Republicans of the state of
Washington in convention assembled,
reaffirm and renew our allegiance to
the principles of the Republican party,
and indorse the declaration of princi
ples as expressed by the national con
vention held in St. Louis, June, 1896.
" We further pledge our earnest and
united support to the nominees of the
Republican party for president and
vioe-president of the United States,
William McKinley and Garret A. Ho
bart. "We indorse and commend' the pru
dent, wise and patriotio conduct of
, pnblio affairs under the chief magis
tracy of Hon. John H. McGraw, and
denounce as false and malicious the at
taoks made upon our state administra
tion from motives of personal revenge,
and for partisan purposes. -
"We reaffirm pur confidence in the
ability, probity and efficiency of Sena
tor John L. Wilson and Congressmen
William H. Doolittle and S. C. Hyde.
"We assert that the injuries to our
industries and the wrongs inflicted
upon our wage-earners, miners, arti
sans and all laboring classes, and upon
our lumber, coal and agricultural in
terests are chiefly attributable to the
repeal of the McKinley law and the
abrogation of our national prosperity
rests upon a just application of the
principles of a protective tariff.
"The Republican party is unreserv
edly for sound money. It caused the
enactment of the law providing for the
resumption of specie payments in 1879;
since then every dollar has been as
good as gold. We are unalterably op
posed to every measure calculated to
debase our currency or impair the
credit of our country. We are, there
fore, opposed to the free coinage of
silver, except by international agree
ment with the leading commercial na
tions of the world, which we pledge
ourselves to promote, and until such
agreement can be obtained, the exist
ing gold standard must be preserved.
All our silver and paper currency must
be maintained at parity with gold, and
we favor all measures . designed to
maintain inviolably the .obligations of
the United States, and all our money,
whether coin or paper, at the present
standard of the most enlightened na
tions of the earth.
"We heartily approve the declara
tion of the Republican national con
vention in which it pledges the Repub
lican party to promote international
agreement, and we hereby instruct our
. senator and representatives in congress
to earnestly co-operate with the admin
istration to that end. We believe thit
the patriotio citizens of this nation
will never entrust its monetary legisla
tion to any party under the leadership
of such men as Bryan, Tillman and
Altgeld.
"The Republican party has always
been mindful of its country's defend
ers, and therefore favors the policy of
just and liberal pensions.
"We believe that taxation should be
no higher than is required for sufficient
revenue to defray the actual necessary
expenses of the state; and we pledge
ourselves to the most economical ad
ministration of publio affairs consist
ent with their business-like manage
ment. "We emphatically demand the en
actment of such legislation as will se
cure just and equitable freight rates to
the producers of the farm and all in
dustries of the state, awarding justice
alike to the produoer and the common
carrier.
"We favor an appeal to the general
government for an additional donation
of two more sections of publio land in
each township to be surveyed, the pro
ceeds from the sales thereof to be de
voted to the construction and mainten
ance of a system of publio roads.
"We recommend such legislation, or
amendment, to our fundamental law
as will enable us to adopt the Torrens
system of registering land titles, at as
early a day as the condition of pur pub
lio finances may justify.
"In view of the alarming increase
of contempt for our constitutional lib
erties and the growing disrespect for
our government in all its branches, we
demand the enactment of more strin
gent enfranchisement and immigration
laws.
"The principles set forth in the Chi
cago platform that it is not within the
duty and province of the federal gov
ernment, whenever and wherever nec
essary, to protect the lives and property
of all oitizens, we denounoe as revolu
tionary. "We reaffirm the doctrine of the
founders of our government that the
safeguard of our liberties and our insti
tutions rest upon its judicial tribunals;
and we condemn as unpatriotlo the im
putations of the Democratic and Popu
list platform that the decisions of the
supreme judicial tribunal are governed
by other than honest and impartial in
terpretations of the law. "

A MIRACULOUS STONE.
It Waa Taken from the Base of a Pil
lar and the Pillar Still S$aqV
Samarcac is a great and; noble city
towards the northwest, inhabited by
both Christians and Saracens, who are
subjact to the great Kaan's nephew,
Caidou by name; he Is, however, at bit
ter enmity with the Kaan. I will tell
you of a great marvel that happened at
this city.
It is not a great while ago that Siga
tay, own brother to the Great Kaan,
who was lord of this country and of
many an one besides, became a Chris
tian. The Christians rejoiced greatly
at this, and they built a great church
in the city, in honor of John the Bap
tist; and by his name the church was
called. And they took a very line stone
which belonged to the Saracens, and
placed it as the pedestal of a column in
the middle of the church, supporting the
roof. It came to pass, however, that
Sijratay died. Now the Saracens were
fall of rancor about that etone that had
been theirs, and which had been set up
in the church of the Christians; and
when they saw that the Trince was
dead, they said one to another that now
was the time to get back their stone,
by fair means or by foul. And thai
tbey might well do, for they were ten
times as many -aa the Christians. So
they got together and went to the
church and said that the stone they
must and would have. The Christians
acknowledged that it was theirs indeed,
Lut offered to pay a large sum of money
and so he quit. Howbeit, the others
replied that they never would give up
the stone for anything in the world.
And words ran so high that the Prince
heard thereof, and ordered the Chris
tians either to arrange to satisfy the
Saracens, if it might be, with money,'
or to give up the stone. And he allowed
them three days to do either the one
thing or the other. '
The Saracens would on no account,
agree to leave the stone where it was,
and this out of pure despite to the
Christians, for they knew well enough
that if the stone were stirred the church
would come down by the run. So the
Christians were in great trouble and
wist not what to do. But they did do
the best thing possible; they besought
Jesus Christ that he would consider
their case, so that the holy church
should not come to destruction, nor the
name of its Patron Saint, John the Bap
tist, be tarnished by Its ruin. And so
when the day fixed by the Prince came
round, they went to the church betimes
in the morning, and lo, they found the
stone removed from under the column;
the foot of the column was without sup
port, and yet it bore the load as stoutly
as before! Between the foot of the col
umn and the ground there was a space
of three palms. So the Saracens had
away their stone, and mighty little joy
withal. It was a glorious miracle, nay,
it is so, for the column still so standeth,
and will stand as long as God pleaseth.
St. Nicholas.
A Leopard. Hunt in Africa.
Started out hunting at 5 o'clock. Came
upon a small herd of mswala, followed
them carefully, but could not get-near
enough to have a shot. After an hour
I found that I was not alone in being
Interested in the mswala. A leopardess
had stepped in between me and the
game- When I first saw her she was
crouched like a cat. Then she moved
stealthily and quickly toward the game,
crept rapidly . toward the buck. For
about a quarter of a mile I moved
etealhtily and quickly toward the game.
I was then within a short distance of
them, and could faintly hear the crea
tures in among a clump of trees. I
was thinking how best to stalk and get
a shot, when the leopardess again ap
peared about eight yards from me and
close to the mswala. She had cleverly
crept to windward and was now almost
within striking distance. She crouched
and moved her head slowly from side
to side in order more clearly to see her
game. To get a better view she slowly
raised her head and sat on her haunch
es. Then she took a still better view by
putting her front paws on a log, which
raised her two or three inches higher.'
Then she showed her head and shoul
ders above the grass, and I succeeded
in putting a Snider bullet through her.
She was six feet in length. It is a very
rare thiug to see a leopard at all, and
most unusual to see them in the day
time. The natives were delighted. I
find the killing of the leopard raises me
to a heroic plane, while, as a matter of
fact, the mere killing of the beast was
as easy as the shooting of a retriever
dog. Century.
A loosing Business.
As a prediction the following "point
er" was safe enough, but, considered as
advice, it would have been much better
if no lottery ticket had come with it.
Gnats do not reform when candle
moths warn them not to fly into the
fire:
One of Beauregard's old soldiers sent
him a dollar and requested him to send
him a lottery ticket which would win
a big prize. He said: "I was always
at my post and never disobeyed orders.
I came out of the war with not clothes
enough to wad a shot-gun." The Gen
eral answered:
"My dear comrade: I send you a
ticket that I hope will draw a prize,
and beg leave to give you the following
pointer: If you stick to the Louisiana
lottery for four years as faithfully as
you did to the Southern Confederacy,
you will not have clothes enough to
wad a pop-gun."
Soiling; Potato Foliaze.
It has long been known that beans
w:ll rust if they are cultivated while
their leaves are wet so that soil will
stick to them. Many farmers now be
lieve that the leaves of trie potato, es
pecially in the late stages of their
growth, are equally liable to be injured
by cultivationq when wet. It is a good
plan to let the cultivator lie idle in a
rainy time anyway. Weeds are killed
tetter while the soil is dry, while if
cultivated during a rainy spell they are
only transplanted and made harder to
kill than ever.

Scrofula
Is a deep-seated blood disease which
all the mineral mixtures in the world
cannot core. S.S.S. (guaranteed purely
vegetable 1 ) is a re al blood remedy for
oiooa aiseases ana nas no equal.
Mrs. Y. T. Buck, of Delaney, Ark., had
Scrofula for twenty-five years and most
of the time was under the care of the
doctors who could not relieve her. A
specialist said he
could cure her, but
he filled her with
arsenic and potash
which almost ruined
her constitution. She
then . took nearly
every so-called, blood
medicine and drank
them by the wholesale,
'but they did not reach
, her trouble. Some
one advised ner to try
S.S.S. and she very
oon found that she had a real blood
remedy at last. She says: "After tak
ing one dozen bottles of S.S.S. I am
perfectly well, my skin is clear
and healthy and I would not be in
my former condition for two thousand
dollars. Instead of drying up the poison
in- my system, like the potash and
arsenic, S.S.S. drove the disease out
through the skin, and I was perma
nently rid of it." .
A Real Blood Remedy.
S.S.S. never fails to cure Scrofula,
Eczema, Rheumatism Contagious Blood
Poison, or any disorder of the blood.
Do not rely upon a simple tonic to cure
a deep-seated blood disease, but take a
real blood remedy. -
