OREGON VOLUNTEERS LANDED
Marched to Camp From the
Transports.
SAN FRANCISCANS TURN OUT
Tarade Reviewed by Governor Geer
I.itdle of the I!ed Cross Gave the
Regiment a Dinner.
San . Francisco, July 17. Not since
die departure of the California volun
teers for the Philippines have the
streets of San Francisco presented such
a soene of animation as they did today,
noi have steam whistles; cannon and
bells created such a rumpus, and all
this in honor of the regiment of Oregon
volunteers and the California signal
corps who have returned from foreign
shores after over 14 months of hardship
and fighting.
The cause of the demonstration was
the landing of the Oregon volunteers
and the Californians, preparatory to
going into camp at the Presido and the
final mustering out, and then the last
stage ot the journey to Oregon and
home. Factory whistles were blown
and the bay steamers added to the
biirieking. Cannon weio iiicu ul beV
eral points and bells rang out the wel
come of San Francisco to the Webfoot
ers and the small group of native sons
who made up the signal corps of the
California regiment.
First in the line of march was Major
Noble, General Shaker's 'id, followed
by the band of the Third artillery.
Then came Governor Geer, of Oregon,
and his staff, and they weie followed
by the Californians, who shared the
cheeis with the Oregonians.
Then came the regiment, headed bv
Brigadier-General Summers, and its
band. As the men marched, company
front, up the wide street, they made a
splendid appearance. An ambulance,
bearing the sick and wounded, follow
ed, then battery C, of the Third artil
lery. All along the line of march the
men were cheered to an eclio. and
bands hired by individuals played live
ly muuic. .As the soldiers passed the
Palace hotel, they were deluged with
flowers thrown fiom the windows by
guests.
At the junction of Third and Market
and Kearney streets, the crowds were
immense and the three morning papers
which Lave offices on the corners of
thosu streets vied with each other to
see which could make the most noise.
General Shafter and staff and Gov
ernor Geer and his 6taff. and many
noted army officers reviewed the parade
as itpasBed up Van Ness avenue toward
the Presidio. As the men passed the
reviewing stand, they cheered continu
ally. When tile Presidio was reached
the men were given a rest and then
commenced the work of going to
camp.
Here they will rest under military
discipline for two weeks, when the final
mustering out will take place, and
then they will be sent to their North
ern homes by train.
At a late hour this afternoon the Or
egon volunteers made their appearance
on dress parade at the Presidio. Ad
dressed by Governor Geer, who told of
the disappointment in Oregon that the
troops were not mustered out in their
own state.
General Summers then stepped for
ward and said:
"All those who intend returning to
Oregon with tho regiment will raise
their hands. "
Nearly every right hand in the regi
ment was raised. Perhaps 20 or 80 of
the men held their hands down.
"Tho governor thanks you," cried
the colonel.
Later in the day the volunteers were
given a banquet by the Red Cross at
Mechanic's pavilion. In the evening
the regiment was divided into squads
and entertained at the different thea
ters, each playhouse having set aside
from 100 to 200 seats for the enteitain
merit of the bovs.
PULLED DOWN GERMAN FLAG.
An incident In Honolulu 'Which Slay
Heroine An I nteriiationnl Kplnode.
Honolulu, July 9. via Victoria, B.
C, July 17. There was a flag incident
here on the Fourth of July which
promises to be made an international
episode. Carl Klemme, the propiietor
of theOrpheum hotel, gaily decorated
his building in Ameiican colors, hoist
ed the Americun flag over it, and under
tho Ameiican flag the German flag.
Later a friend of his wanted to use au
Ameriaan flag, and Klemme good
naturedly loaned him his, leaving the
German flag floating alone from the
flagstaff.
J. 11. West saw it and orderod
Klemme to haul it down. There haa
been ill-will between the two men be
fore, and Klemme lefused to take or
ders from his enemy. West therefore
gathered a lot of soldiers from the
transport Sheridan and showed them
the German flag floating on the Fourth
of July in Ameiican territory. The
soldiers at once proceeded to the roof,
tore down the German flag and de'
etroyed it and put in its place some
rod, white and blue bunting torn from
the other decorations of the building.
West today was fined f 100 in the o
lice court for malicious mischief.

Why Women Are Nervous.
The frequent cases ot nervous prostra
tion or utter collapse of the nervous
system under' which women "go all to
pieces," as the saying is. have caused
much thought and investigation on the
part of physicians.
Certain inorganic substancos are well
known to cause various forms of nerv
ous diseases which are readily traced
to the poisons producing them. Furth
er research leads to the belief that
alum is a prevailing cause of eo-called
nervous prostration, for the symptoms
it produces on the nervous system after
its absorption into the blood are very
remarkable indeed. Experiments phys
iologically made upon animals by
Orfila, Professors Hans Mayer, Paul
Seira and others, show that alum fre
quently produces no visible symptoms
for 'many days after its introduction
into the body. Then follows loss of
appetite and other alimentary disturb
ances, and finally a serious prostration
of the whole nervous system. The
most prominent physicians now believe
that "nervous prostration" and many
affections of the nerves from which
both men and women suffer are caused
by the continued absorption of alum
into the system.
It is probable that many medical
men are unaware of the extent to
which salts of alumina may be intro
duced into the body, being under the
impression that the use of alum in
bread is prohibited. Alum, however,
is still used surreptitiously to some ex
tent to winten bread, and very largely
in making cheap kinds of baking pow
der. In families where baking powder
is generally used great care should be
exeroised to procure only those brands
made from cream of tartar. The alum
powders may be distinguished by the
lower price at which they are sold.
