JUDGE NELSON'S
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 his 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
' neya, 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 I
ever tried. J. B. Nelson,

San Antonio, Tex., Oct. 11. A Mexi
can named Calos Villada has arrived at
Gonzales from San Luia Potoai, Mexico.
He states he ia a direct descendant of
Santa Ana. He ia in search of several
hundred thousand dollars buried treas
ure, which, according to a chart in his
possession, was buried on top of a
mound a mile east of Gonzales, and was
placed there by Santa Ana 50 years ago,
while camped at that spot on his inva
sion of Texas. The Mexican's story is
received with credulity at Gonzales and
a large force of men are assisting him in
excavating for his treasure.

London, Oct. 11. In the next issue
of the Review of Reviews, Stead, its
editor, will have an article beaded,
"Ought Mrs. Maybrick to Be Tortured
to Death?" in which he reopens the
whole case of the unfortunate American
woman, now undergoing sentence of life
imprisonment in a working prison for
the alleged poisoning of her husband, a
wellknown Liverpool merchant. Stead
saya both he and Sir Charles Russell,

clared that he, with a woman whose

A Triumphant Sneeess.
New Yobk, Oct. 12. Yesterday the
people of New York,. Brooklyn and Jer
sey City turned out andlined up along
Fifth avenue to witness the parade of
schools in honor of the Columbian anni
versary. Today they line up on each
side of that great grand thoroughfare,
the. Hudson river, to witness the impos
ing naval parade. To even a greater ex
tent than necessary the city is buried
in bunting and the fashion has extended
to the sight seers themselves, almost
every one displaying the national colors
on the lapel or elsewhere as personal
adornment. All parts of the cities sur
rounding New York harbor, except those
bordering on the route of the parade,
are almost deserted, it is estimated that
not less than 1,000.000 people were
massed on both shores from the battery
to Grant's tomb to witness the stately
procession as it moved grandly up the
broad waters of the majestic Hudson
river. The start was made at 12:30
o'clock from Gravesend Bay in three
columns, 300 yards apatt. The foreign
war vessels occupied tne center, witn a
United States vessel on either aide as an
escort. As the line entered the Narrows
a salute of 21 guns was fired from either
shore. ' ' - . '
A Corner on Ballots.
Pierre, Oct. 11. Considerable anx
iety iB felt in regard to printing ballots
under the new Anstralian law. . They
must be printed in the state, and only
nine days remain for the work. The
large fast presses in South Dakota are
few, and only one firm in the state has
enough paper of the kind required, and
it ia holding off for better terms.'

Falling to Pieces.
New Yokk, Oct. 11." The advisory
committee of the Western Traffic Asso
ciation tried to hold a meeting here this
morning for the purpose of endeavoring
to patch up their differences, but were
nnable to secure a quorum and adjourned
sine die. It is believed this amounts
practically to a disbandment of the asso
ciation. Dangerous Act.
Niagaba Faxls, Oct. 11. Niagara

Clifford Calverty, aged 22 years, and

to cross it in less than seven minutes.
He will also do feats in mid-air, one of
which is banging by bis toes. He will

PLAIX TALK TO CORPORATIONS.
An Important Rulxnc; Respecting Certain
Irregularities on The Pacific Coast.
A Washington dispatch says an impor
tant ruling was made by the general
land office yesterday. Through either
negligence or incom petency of the South
ern Pacific's Washington land attorneys,
thousands of acres of land in California,
as indemnity selections by the Southern
Pacific, -aro forfeited by the latter by
reason of defective filings, and its entries
will be canceled unless the railroad can
succeed in straightening out its land af
fairs, which are said to be in a very bad
fix.- Forty -thousand acres of Railroad
company's indemnity lands in California
were cancelled yesterday, 8200 being in
the Visalia district and 30,000 in the In
dependence district. The general land
office today sent a letter to Henry Beard,
Washington land attorney for the de
funct California and Oregon railway com
pany, yesterday in which Commissioner
General Stone said : "In reply to your
verbal request to be informed as to what
list 8, if any of your pending indemnity
selections are defective or invalid under
the department requirements. I have to
advise you that a hasty examination ot
those now pending show that all, with
two or three exceptions, are defective for
want of a proper specification of losses,
while some . are absolutely invalid for
want of any specification whatever. The
amount embraced in these lists aggre
gates 5,000,000 acres, while something
like 180,000 acres are now pending on
appeal by the company from rejection of
local officers, which are in . the same
condition. Hence, before these lists can
be favorably acted upon, it will be neces
sary for the company to make them
conform to the departmental require
ments as heretofore stated. Should,
however, the company neglect or refuse
to comply with said demand and fail or
refuse to make its list selections conform
to the requirements of the rules of the
department, such of them as are defective
when reached in the order of business
will be held for cancelation, and such as
are valid will be canceled." A similar
letter was sent to Beard as attorney for
the Southern Pacific and the defunct
Oregorf and California railway compan
ies. In the case of the two last named
roads 1,5000,000 acres of land filings are
defective or invalid, and will be canceled
unless the companies can make them
conform to the requirements.
- A VERY CLOSE CALL. '
A Passenger Train Saved fro:
tlon by a Tramp.
Destrue-
Paesengers who wished to go to Port
land Friday morning were delayed five
hours at the Btart and the train did not
get into Portland until 11 a. m. The
cause of the delay was a slide in the Blue
mountains, and it furnished some thrill
ing incidents. That the train Vas not
hurled to destruction, and the passengers
killed, was owing to the exertions of a
tramp to save, them. . He reached the
point ahead of the train, and seeing the
danger built a fire on the track and
commenced to remove the obstruction.
He had been over the track the day be
fore and knew about when the express
train was due, so that when he heard it
coming he seized a brand from the fire
and dashed down the track to meet it.
The engineer saw him, reversed his
engine and almost brought the train to
a standstill, when it struck the rocks.
The place where the accident happened
was on the side of a bill where the road
bed is built on a shelf cut out of the
rock. At this point the road curves.
Had the engine struck the obstruction
at the speed at which it was running,
the whole train would have been thrown
into the ravine below. As it was, the
forward trucks of the tender were thrown
from the track. As soon as the passen
gers understood the situation and saw in
what peril they had been placed, they
made up a handsome purse for the
tramp. .
Hun Be Locked I'p.
. New Yoke, Oct. 11. At the annual
meeting of the Northern Pacific, to be
held here October 20th, the New York
holders of preferred stock will demand
that the $3,347,000 consolidated mortgage
bonds set aside for preferred stock be
locked up for a series of years. The
Philadelphia holders will request the
appointment of a committee of stock
holders to examine the physical and
financial condition of the property.

Tne French Canadians of Three Myers
Complicate Matters.
LIKE THE M0XKEY UP A TREE,
They . Go Crazy ; When -Told the Facts
of Their. Unclean Condition. :
THE AMERICAN CONSUL MOBBED.
Perhaps a Trifle Too Eccentric Hut the '
Canadians Should Not Re
fuse Good Advice.
" Montreal, Oct. 11. Further particu
lars have been received here from Three
Rivers of the trouble the American con
sul, Colonel Nicholas Smith, is having
there. In his consular report Colonel -Smith
commented on the style of living
of the French Canadians in a manner
that they consider not justified by the
facts by long odds. On September 17th
Consul Smith sent a report which was
published in the abstract of the sanitary
reports of the official organ of the marine
hospital service of the United States.
He stated that the town of Three Rivers
contained few sewers and no paved
streets, and there were charges of filthi
ness; Colonel' Smith's literary style
was not appreciated by the people of
Three Rivers, and late on Saturday
night, while he was in bed, a riotous
mob of 2000 people surrounded his house
with the intention v of wrecking it.
Colonel Smith strongly barricaded every
entrance and succeeded in keeping them
out, but a shower of stones, smashed
every window in his residence. The
entire police force-was sent to his rescue
and dispersed the. mob, which gathered
'again on a public square and burned
Colonel Smith in effigy. In the early
morning another attack was made on
the house, but a strong cordon of the
police surrounded it and their intended
victim escaped.- The police are still
guarding the house, for public feeling
runs very high, and should Colonel
Smith appear on the street he stands a
good chance of being mobbed. The
French Canadian press all over ' the
province has taken the matter up, and
Consul Smith's recall is peremptorily de
manded. The matter has been br'ought
to the attention of the state department
at Washington and the Ottawa govern
ment. Smith is a son-in-law of Horace
Greeley and was appointed by the pres
ent administration. He is said to be
somewhat eccentric in his behavior.
Current Topics.
Several American girls are winning
honors as sculptors in Chicago, and it
begins to look as though it were no
longer necessary to go to Rome for such
work. The greatest genius is said to be
Miss Julia M. Bracken. Hers is the -genius
that defies environment. Born
on the banks of Apple creek, near Gen
eral Grant's old home at Galena, this '
unpretentious young girl has drawn ever
since she can remember. It was her
carving on her brother's discarded cigar
boxes that first attracted serious atten-
tion to her talent and- led her to the
Chicago Art institute.
We really must decline to credit the
story that Chauncey .M. Depew ever
thought of missing the chance to make
a speech at the Columbus fair dedicatory
ceremonies. We are pretty-credulous,
but that yarn won't go down. -
If Judge Gresbam is going to vote for
Cleveland, as report now credits him
with the intention of doing, let us hope '
that he will come out flat-footed over
his signature and say so. A repetition
of the hubbub raised over his rumored
willingness to accept tne people's party
nomination for president would be very
wearisome just nor when the public
mind is occupied upon matters much
more important. '
