JUDGE NELSON'S
.r DECISION.
Speaking of patent medicines, the
Judge says: "I wish to deal fairly and
honorably with all, and when I " find "an
article that will do what it is recom
mended to do, I am not ashamed to say
. so. I am' acquainted' with Dr. Vander
pool (having been treated by him for
cancer), and have used hie blood medi
cine, known as the S. B. Headache and
Liver Cure, and while I am 75 years old,
and have used many pills and other
remedies for the blood, liver and kid
neys, I must say that for a kidney tonic
in B rights disease, and as an alterative
for the blood, or to correct the action of
the stomach and bowels, it is a very su
perior remedy, and beats anything -1
ever tried. J. B. Nelson,

Nbw York, Sept. 26. The World has
mail advices from La Gnayra telling of
the arrival of the Caracas at that port kg
follows : There is intense excitement
in this city over the arrival of the Red
Line steamer Caracas from New Yor
by -way of Puerto Cabello.'an insurgent
port. ' Captain White, in ' command of
the United States cruiser Concord, an
ticipating a difficulty, advised the cap
tain of the Caracas not to deliver np the
steamer's papers at the custom-house
here. Furthermore, in'' order to;keep
those papers from falling into the bands
of local customs officials, Commander
White sent a boat to the Caracas with a
force of armed men, who received the
documents from the steamer's captain
and conveyed them to the Concord's
commander for preservation until the
Caracas should be ready to sail. Two
Yeneznelans were thrust into prison on
landing, for having taken passage on the
Caracas from Puerto Cabello. The cus
toms officials at first refused - to grant
the Caracas permission to discharge hoi
cargo, but afterward consented to allow
ber to unload freight consigned to this
port. r "
United States Minister Scruggs has
sent a formal demand to the Venezuelan
capital for the return of. . six refugees
taken from Caracas some time 'ago, and
now in the bands of Urdaneta. He has
also demanded a salute to the American
flag and the payment of personal dama
ges to refugees. There Was no' regular
government to reply to these demands
for reparation, as the capital is in a
state of anarchy. .Foreign merchants
are imprisoned unless they give money
to the army. " Minister Scruggs has ad
vised Americans not tn pay anything for
such a purpose. Yillegas Pulido, who.
has assumed the role of president, has
taken an army of 30,000 men and started
to attack General Crespo at Los Teques.
A rigid press censorship has Deen estab
lished throughout Venezuela. Trouble is
apprehended when the steamer Caracas
undertakes to leave port.
Another Steamer Loaded. '
New Yohk, Sept. 26. On board the
steamer Caroline Whiting, which is
lying off of Twenty-sixth street, Brook
lyn, everything was quiet today. Her
cargo of mysterious bundles and boxes
is safely stowed, and ber bunkers filled
with coal. Captain Eldridge said the
vessel would be ready for her voyage be
fore Tuesday morning, but would not
say what her destination is. He laughed
at the idea! that he could hot land a load
of arms on the' Vehzuelan coast in spite
of the1 efforts of President ' Pulido's gov
ernment." He Bays h 3'1" will - engage his
crew tomorrow arid that, two ' passengers
will gci'dri the voyage with him. Who
theJpasserigerS are he will not tell. In
furtherx"cbriversaton', the' captain . said
the 'eybdicatewhiclrowns the ' Caroline
represerited in this city by W H. Bow
man ; had been" approached two weeks
ago by ifinister Bolet Ptaraza,.' who said
he'de'sired to buy the Whiting 'for the
Venezuelan government' and paid $2,000
for a five days' option.. This, however,
was allowed to expire, and the' present
charters of the ' ship ' do not represent
the.' government ' of . "Minister Bolet

WAsrnxQTOJTj Sept. 26. Secretay Fos
ter says there la no reason-to'belieye
that Minister Scruggs is not as free as

of strained relations' between the United
States and Venezuela. " The secretary

THE DEMAND FOR PRUNES.
Oregon WIUTkft tberi.ad ' Beesnte of
Its Superior Quality. '
The annual con sumption of prunes in
the United States is a little' Over one
pound for each person. As the - popula
tion of the country is increasing at - the
rate of one million and a half a year it
is easy to see that the consumption will
increase 'pretty rapidly even if ; there
should be no increase in the rate of con
sumption. The quality of the prune of
the Pacific northwest is so .far superior
to that of- the common : prune of com.
merce that' whenever they are "pet : upon
the market at prices ' any where near as
low as the common foreign prune sells
for-there will inevitably be an immense
increase in the late of "consumption.
With the aid of a protective tariff of two
cents per pound, joined to the superior
qualify of our product,' the Pacific coast
should certainly be able to 1 drive the
foreign prunes out of the market with
out reducing the price of - prunes to a
point that will knock all the profits out
of the business. " All the present time
California, is producing about one-third
enough prunes to supply -' the United
States. In ten years Oregon and Wash
ington ought to produce one-half of -all
the -prunes consumed in the. United
States. To do this, it will require close
to 50,000,000 pounds of prunes. It is
evident that there is plenty of room yet
for development of the prune business
without overdoing it.
Result of a ' Tiff.
London, Sept. 26. Considerable sen
sation has been caused by. the mysteri
ous death of an ex-actress known as
Baby Russell, a beautiful girl,, who has
appeared at the Lyric and Drury Lane.
For some time past she has been living
with an army surgeon, Dr. Heron. On
Tuesday she was suddenly taken sick
when with Dr. Heron, and, although a
physician was summoned, she died. Dr.
Heron said that they had had a tiff, arid
she might have taken poison. Yester
day Dr. Heron was found in his room
dead, with his throat cut. .. It was also
ascertained he bad taken sufficient
poison to have killed himself.

their fate. They are liable to be sent

DESTROY EIGHTY OF THE SADDLES;
Imprisoned in the Barracks Where
They Make Things Lively.
CONFUSION UNTIL LIGHTS GO OUT.
The Rebellion Created Considerable Ex
citement And Attracted a Crowd
of People.
London, Sept. 26. The Daily News
today says members of the First Life
Guards regiment stationed at Windsor
have been dissatisfied for some time past
owing to the many drills and inspections
they have been compelled to undergo.
Yesterday non-commissioned officers of
C Squadron found all the 80 saddles be
longing to ' the squadron so badly cut
that they were completely ruined. The
men were ordered into barracks and
there confined. Here they became up- .
rorious, disturbing the whole neighbor
hood. They eang "Britons never shall
be slaves," popular music-hall songs
and the national .anthem. The- affair
created much excitement in Windsor,
and crowds of villagers surrounded the
barracks listening to the noise. Between
9 and 10 o'clock at night the whole squad
ron went into the barracks yard singing
arid yelling at the top of their voices.
The uproar was continued until "lights
out" was sounded," when order was re
stored. It has since been ascertained
that a great number of the men have
been placed under arrest. ' The squadron
is confined in the barracks today. It is
reported Cap. Rawson, who commands
the squadron, is very unpopular with
his men. He it is who is said all along
to be responsible for the extra drills to
which the men objected, and to prevent
which they cut their saddles.
WESTWARD ON FOOT.
From
Glenn iFalls to The Columbia
River Alone.
A gray whiskered old man leading a
horse loaded down with blankets, cook
ing utensils and a small tent, occasioned
a little astonishment as he came wander
ing into Umatilla Sunday afternoon."
He asked if "that was the Columbia
river" and seemed highly pleased at see
ing the noble river of which he had
heard so much. It reminded him of the
Hudson. His name he said was Robert
Somers, and he left Glenn Falls, New
York, two years ago the 9th of April, to
gratify the ambition of his life, which
was to see the country. He has traveled
on foot all the way across the continent.
He visited many of the noted points of
interest and met with many thrilling ex
periences en route. Crossing the Idaho
desert, he was two days without food or
water, finally making his way into Am
erican Falls almost exhausted. He baa
avoided following the railroads, prefer
ring to see the country in its aboriginal
state. His stories of the amount of
game seen in the mountains of Montana
and Idaho would make the brave nim
rods of his native state open their . eyes
in wonder. Mr. Somers will not stop
until he reaches the Pacific ocean. He
