Cholera Is Threatened.
"Tho prevalence of cholera at Hono
lulu and in the Orient Ib a great menace
to this city and San Francisco," said
City PhyBician Wheeler this afternoon
"The press in San Francisco treats the
Bubject lightly, perhaps to allay tho
fears of tho people; but at no time have
wo been so soriously threatened with an
invasion of the Asiatic scourge as at pres
ont.
"Wo are exposed to tho epidemic- be
cause of our direct connection with the
islands, Japan and China by steamer.
Besides that there are many tramp
steamers coming to this and the port of
San Fraucieco, stopping at various potts
in China, where the cholera now is
rampant.
"Tho atmospheric tomperaturo has no
effect upon the lifo of the disease; it
flourishes as well in cold weather as it
does in tho summer.
"Tho board of health here will tako
every precaution to keep the cholera
from us; but the first thing that must be
douo is to observe the strictest cleanli
ness. For the proper sanitation of tho
city, we shall most rigorously enforce
every ordinance bearing upon the public
health." Telegram.

IT WAS THE IRONY OF FATE.
The Clerk's Loud Voice Made Trouble In
tho Lambkin Family.
'I don't seo why wo can't go to the
opora Hko other pooplo," ponted Mrs.
Lambkin, as sho and her sponso vecro
walking homo together. "Woconld, I'm
buto, if yon didn't look upon Wagner aa
a mortal enemy."
"My only objection to him is tho fact
that ho sends you to sleep and then
won't let yon stay there," replied Mr.
Lambkin. Then, basely anxious to
change tho subject, ho remarked, "I do
bollovo that is Mrs. Pitzjones in another
new gown."
'No doubt Her husband m so gen
erous to her. Why, sho tolls mo that
they wero at the opera last evening and
expect to go again tomorrow. '
"Indeed. Ah, by tho way, didn't yon
tell me that yon thought Dick Norocks
and Miss Effio had quarreled?"
"Vory likely. I notice that Dick is
particularly touchy whenever grand
opera is in town."
'Ah, indeed. By the. way, how should
yon liko to call at your mother's this
evening?"
Very much, if anybody was likely to
bo at home. But of course they will all
go to the opera."
"Urn ah! I've just remembered that
this is chnrch evening. Suppose we go.
Wo haven't been to evening church since
wo wero first married. "
"Impossible, George. I should be
ashamed to have any one know that I
was well enough to bo out after night
and not nt tho opera. Peoplo would bo
sure to say that yon aro stingy, and I
would rather die than cause such re
marks." "Fact is, Eudora, I'm as anxious as
yon aro to go to tho opera, but money is
too tight. I had to make a payment to
day and I donbt if I have a dollar in my
pocket. Never mind, wo can have n nice
long evening at homo alone, can't we?"
Humph! We aro sure to bo alone,
for every living soul we know will be at
tho opera."
"All tho better, nivdear. Just step in
hero with mo a moment, will yon? I
have no cigars, and I don't want to have
to go ont for anything tonight. You see,
I don't keep many cigars on hand now
that money is so scarce."
They went into tho store, and Mr.
Lambkin selected his cigars, while his
wife stood by. Ho felt anxiously in hia
pockets for small change, and finding
none took a bill ont of his notebook, and
glancing warily at Mrs. Lambkin hand
ed it, all crumpled np, to the clerk.
After all that it did seem the irony of
fate which mado that individual call
out in stentorian tones to the cashier,
Twenty-five from 20, please!"
And Mrs. Lambkin was still talking
about it when they reached home.

THE NEW WOMAN'S WAY.
How Sho Will Propose to the Innocent
Toons; Male Creature.
The room was in confusion. That is
tho way the books say it. An ordinary
inaa.with good eyes would have said
COnrtlSlOirvvaa ni tne-Tdom.
"At hut!"
Her hands trembled as sho attempted
to fix her tie. Thirteen collars have
been rained. Sho took a. photograph
from a drawer. It was die sweet, inno
cent face of a young mam "Ah, little
George! I can no longer deceive myself.
I love you. Tho strong is about to be-
como tho weak. How far wo women
will go for tho bright eyes of n silly
man ! But enough ! I shall ask you to
bo mine this night, como what may."
"Mr. Nicely will bo down in a mo
ment. Pray bo seated.
But her heart beat too wildly. She
paced tho floor. "Tho dear, dear, little
boy I How I lovo him !' '
Tho curtains parted, and tho world s
greatest treasure a truo hearted, inno
cent young man entered.
(An ordinary, everyday conversation
for a few minutes. Sho attempts to take
tho hand of George, who blushes and
looks startled. )
"I must explain myself I Hear me ! I
can no longer act this hateful part ! I
must speak ! I lovo you with tho great
lovo of a bravo woman. I"
"But this is so"
"It is. But will yon be my hus
band?"
There was a great gulf of pity in the
young man's gentlo eyes. But ho spoke :
"No. But I will bo n brother to
yon." Boston Post.
Flxinc a Watch.
"I dropped niy watch today, and it
has been gaining ten minutes an hour,"
said a man, at tho same time handing
tho watch to a jeweler. Tho jeweler
stuck a glass in his eye, looked into the
interior of the watch, poked something
with a small instrument, set tho watch
by n regnlator, and handing it back,
said, "It s nil right now, and I vo Fet it
by tho correct time." "How much?"
said the customer, relieved. "Nothing, ' '
was tho answer. "But I can't let you
work for mo without pay. " " Wo never
ehargo any one for such n service ; why
should wo charge yoa? Tho hairspring
was doubled, and that mado tho watch
run fast. A singlo touch set it right. "
New York Sun.
Neighborly Curiosity.
Mrs. Mecktou was standing on the
front doorstep when her husband came
home.
"Henry," sho said in it loud tone,
"there's your iucomo tax blank. You'd
better fill it out right away."
"Great Scott, Maria!" ho exclaimed,

TELEQRAPH NEWS.
San Francisco, Sept. 2 Chester Hol-
conib who ha? just returned from China,
after -I years' service in the American
legation at Peking, nays that the recent
nu-.eacre it traceable to the result of the
recent China-Japanese war.
'At the commencement of the war be
tween China and Japan," said he, "it
was generally feared that the lives of
foieignera in China would bo in great
langer as loni: as uie war lasted. As a
matter of fact, there was practically no
danger as long as tbe war lasted, and it
is only siuce hostillities ceased that there
has been any danger. We have had
prouf of this fact in the recent massacres,
and I think I can explain the reason.
"In the first place, the great mass of
the Chinese are dissapointcd with the
result of the war and arc taking revenge
on all foraiguers whom they can with im
punity.
'In the. second plce, the killing and
pillaging receives great encouragement
by reason of depredations committed by
hordes of disbanded soldier all over the
country. The Chinese government lias
a peculiar method of disposing of its
troops at the close of a war. When the
Boldiera are no longer needed they are
discharged from "service at the place
whero they happen to no at tbe time.
The fact that an army may be disbanded
several hundred or a thousand miles
away from home when disbanded, and
the fact that the soldiers may not pos
sess means of getting home does not in
terest Ine government in the least. The
troops are turned loose, and, to use an
American expression, they have to 'beat'
their way back to tbe place from whence
they came. That tbey should pillage
and commit depredations is, therefore,
only natural to such people under such
circumstances and tranquillity will not '
reign in China for some time to come.
'Just before I left Japan I learned
that an American missionary wbo has
been laboring near Peking since 1S69
had been assaulted and severely cut
with a knife. His name ia D. Z. Shef
field, and I have known him quite well
for years. It is only fair to the other
side to say, however, that the assailants
were arrested and will be tried for their
offense. If such prompt action was
taken In the cases of ether offenders the
wholesale killing of missionariea in
China would be speedily stopped. It is
almost Impossible to mete out justice to
offending Chinese in the interior pre
vinccs, and this is the fault of the gov
ernment." Mr. Holconib says the tbe most inter
esting question in the Orient at the pres
ent time, outside of the missionary mas
sacre and the cholera, ia tbe approach
ing conflict between Russia and Japan.)
"That Japan and Russia will become
mixed np in a dispute which will result
Tar. cnoajnthonL jai-intr." he said.
"ami tno commencement oi actual hos
tilities is not far . IT. Tho Japanese have
a grievance njinet Russia, and Russia
is preparing to make things warm for the
Japanctc. The other day I was told
very frankly by a Jjpauesc official who
held a high pocitian in the government,
that Japan would Iivn to rue the day
when ehe permitied herself to become
mixed up in a war with China. It has
given Ruseia an oportunity she has
long waited for. No one knows belter
than I how narrowly Japan escaped a
war with Russia when she got through
with her war with China. Tbe Japan
ese were so incensed at Russia's attitude
in the matter of the cession- of tho Liao
Tung peninsula that the Japanese offi
cials talked seriously of engaging in a
squabble with Russia. I was in .'apan
at the time and heard it all. A certain
member of tho Japanese cabinet, whose
acquaintance I made when he was sent
to 1'eking as tbo Japanese minister to
China, said to me at the time: "Russia
has six iron battle-ship-. We have hut
one, and that we captured from the Chi
nese, If we had but four ironclads, or
only threes we would defy Russia."
That is just what Russia wanted them to
do. Russia will yet so ajjgravate the
Japanese that they will declare war.
Then Russia will attempt to drive the
Japanese of Corea, where they are
masters of the situation. The Japanese
are dictating affairs in Corea, for while
the king still remains on the throne be
dues nothing that Count Inouye does not
tell hiui to do. Tbe fight between Russia
and Japan will be over Corea and it will
come just a3 soon as Russia finds the
wants an open port on the Pacific."
Wreck Near Olympla.
ObYMriA, Wash., Sept. A row on
the track at Maxfield, 11 miles from
here, wrecked tho local passenger train
this tnorniug and sent tbe engine over an
embankment 50 feet deep, dragging one
p.tssenger coach with it. Nobody was
killed, aud the only injury was to the
fireman.
Ttirnlog a sharp curve where the rail
road overlooks tbe Nesqnally flats 500
feet below, Eugineer Harry Shepard
noticed two calves cn tho track. He
slowed up to let them off, but just then a
cow stepped from tho brush in front of
the eugiud. The train was goiug too
slow to throw the cow off, and the ant
mid was crushed under the wheels. The
hide and hones lilted the wheels from
the track aud the big engine went tum
bling over the ties for -5 feet, then sud
denly piuuged headlong a distance of 50
feet, turning over aud burying itself in
the brush and Band. The train was
mado up willi tl.o first-class coach im
mediately next to tho engine, and the
smoker and luggage in the rear.
The weight of tho falling engine
dragged the passenger coach from the
track, bieakiug the trucks. The coach
followed the engine down the euibank-
mont, but waa kept from rolling down by
strong couplings with the baggase car,
which held the track. Had tho coupling
broken the pjisdenuer coach would have
rolled to the bottom, aud evety one of
the nine pjssougers would undoubtedly
havo been killed.
When tho engine started down En
gineer Shepard jumped and fell between
the tank and the wheels of the tender
He was shoved along in soft sand for
several feet, but waa only bruised. Tho
fireman's name wa3 not learned, lie
could not get out of the cab and rolled to
the bottom of tho gulch. His wife waa
in the passenger coa-h and was over
joyed to see him crawl out of tho wreck.
The passengers had little time to think
and busied themselves in climbing up
the floor of tho car, which lay at an
angle of 45 degrees. All climbed ont of
the windows. They were Captain Wil
liam McMickeu, trustee of the state
soldiers home, Erastua Brainerd, member
of tho stato land commission, W. F.
Lewi, Geo. H. Smith, of Tacoma, Von
Ilofmeier, Thomas Reynolds, of Seattle,
all traveling men, and Webster Brown.
of Seattle, a civil engineer.
Dr. Armstrong, the Northern Pacific
surgeon, waa sent out on a special train.
and a wrecker ia at work removing the
debris, the engine is badly crippled.
Colloquy.
Republican. I see by latest dispatches
that wheat has declined oi a cent a
bushel.
PopnliBt, Just aa you might expect.
Wheat lias declined ever Bince the crime
of 1873.
Rep. But silver has advanced 11 cents
au ounce eineo 1893. How do you ac
count for that ?
Pop. It ia the scarcity of gold that
has advanced silver.
Rep. Then tho price of silver is
affected by other causes than demoneti
zation of that metal, is it?
Pop. Well, yes, slightly.
Rop. Slightly, yon say; well it
affected by any other cause may it not be.
affected largely by that other cause,
whatsoever it may be?
Pop. Well, you gold bugs aro always
hiiding Eorae excuse for your party.
You are not willing to admit that the
demonetization of silver was tbe cri.De of
the age. You are making frivilous ex
cuses lor your old iniquitous party's act
ions, you don't read the other side. You
just read Coin's Financial School, it will
open your eyes to the trnth.
Rep. I have just been reading the
state of facts as tbey are, while you have
been studying how to find fault with the
true financial olicy of the best govern
ment on earth, by perusing the vagaries
of a crack-brained theorist.
Pop. 1 don't choose to discuss this
question with you. ou are too cap
tious, unfair and prejudiced. You won't
listen to the truths of historv.
Rep. I listen to the facts as they
transpire. There has been no law on
the subject of Eilvcr since 1S93 and while
wheat has been fluctuating up and

Fall Sowing of Grass Seed.
There is no question but that in tbe
fall is a good time to sow almost any
kind of grass seed on land intended for
pasture or meadow, provided the con
ditions are favorable for the germination
of the seed, and a start to grow for the
plants. So far as the season and tbe
condition of the soil will admit, grass
seeds of almost all kinds should be sown
early in the fall. If tbe seeding cannot
be done in lime and under such con
ditions aa will enable tbe plants to make
a good start before the cold weather sets
n, tho better plan will be to put off the
seeding until eat ly in the spring. In all
cares tbe soil should be prepared in a
good tilth before sowing. A gcod plan
ia to plow as soon after harvest as the
other farm work will permit, and then
use the disc and smoothing harrow to
prepare the Foil for the seed. It will al
ways pay to prepare the soil well before
sowing the seed, as the belter germina
tion and more vigorous blnrt will make
it easier to secure a more even distribu
tion. One of the principal advantages in
usin a seeder in preference to sowing by
hand is that a much more even ditribn
lion of the seed is possible. Use good
seed aud plentv of it. Generally it
proves poor economy to stint the seed
and get a poor stand as the result. Less
seed is needed when the soil is prepared
in good tilth and the frecding is under'
favorable couditious. Hut in all cuues it
is better to use rather loo much seed
than not enough.
From Another Veteran.
Editoh Flaisdeaer: Kening an ar
ticle in your papo of retc'i dab over
the signature of "Vet" reminds me
that I heartily endorse what is t aid there.
Like the writer, I am a vet. and also a
binietalist. but having known Mr. lcr
tnann for'-O years or more, I wilt vote
for him ahnuld he l-e nominated. Like
many others, under the usual condition!-,
I am a strong advocate of rotation in
office, but I think Mr, Hermann's ser
vices have been ot nuus'ial ir-tod lo ihe
people of Oregon uud lalerly to those of
his district. It will be hard for your
party to find any one of near his strength,
more especially among the usual popu
lation of the district, which is not aloce
due to his official usefulness but to his
courtesy and kindness to all whom he
comes in contact. Dining th many
years I have known him I havo found
him a courteous, kiml unassuming gentle
man, a reliable and t-ti-adfa.-tt friend,
while his official lecord pio.'eR him to be
a man that tbe eopk can fWy honor
