JUDGE NELSON'S
DECISION.
Speaking of patent medicines, the
Judge save: "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
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
Lhe stomach and bowels, it is a very su
erior remedv, and beats anything I
ever tried. " J. B. Nelson,

Conflicting Statements as to the Amount
of Money the Robbers Got Away
With Other News. '
Wixfield, Kas., Oct. 14. A Coffey
ville dispatch last night says the east
boond Missouri Pacific train was held up
by two robbsrs at Caney station. The
robbers boarded the engine, compelled
the engineer to pull out two miles, then
uncoupled the express car from the rest
of train and pulled it half a mile farther.
Express Messenger Maxwell had blown
out the lights and barred the door and
refused to open it. The robbers fired
through the door, wounding him in the
arm. He then surrendered and opened
the door. The robbers covered him with
revolvers and compelled him to give tip
the express packages. All the express
money was transferred at ' Congress
Springs, so it is not thought the high
waymen got much. The identity of the
robbers is unknown, but they are be
lieved to be the same men who last week
held up the station agent at Sedan, Kan.
One of" the robbers entered the car,
while the other remained on guard out
side. The messenger's safe was opened,
and the robbers hastily grabbed the
packages and envelopes containing
money, placed them in a small sack and
jumped from the car. They then ordered
the engineer to back the car, to where
the train was left standing, and, after
firing a few more shots as a warning,
disappeared in the darkness. Both
robbers wore heavy black mustaches,
and their clothing was spattered with
mud, indicating that they were mounted
and had ridden hard. The express
messenger claimed he does not know the
value of the booty secured. Express
officials and railway men at different
points along the line claim that the
robbers did not secure $500, if, indeed,
that amount. It is pretty certain, how
ever, that the robbers eecured several
thousand dollars, as the train connects
with the St. Louis, Kansas City and
Southern's lines. When the train
reached Tyro, the watchman was told of
the robbery, but no effort was made to
get a posse and pursue the robbers.
This morning the railway people eent a
squad of omcers to Tyro, ana will begin
active seach for the men.
- ' The notorious Kid. '
Tombstone, Oct. 13. News of the kill
ing of a man by Kid and another Indian
in the Swisshelm mountains yesterday
was brought to town last night. Two
wood-choppers at Moore's camp bad lost
their horses and started out to find
them. They saw two Indians some dis
tance away, and, thinking they were
scouts, one of them started toward them
to inquire if they had seen anything of
the stock. When within a few rods of
them the Indians stepped behind a rock,
and in less than ten seconds the unfor
tunate man wag lying on the ground
with a bullet . through-, his heart. His
companion witnessed the deed and ran
back to camp 'and: told: his comrades.
After much persuasion he, consented to
go.:,to the ' scene with a posse. They
found ,the;.;dead',: body .with .the head
nearly beaten off with.; rocks i which lay
near by. ' From a description given by
the-' survivor,-- It Via positive that the
Apache, who cud the killing is no other
than the notorious Kid. Alter the kill
ing they rounded up about SO horses and
went toward Sonora.
The Chestnut Crop.
Guaymas, Mex.', Oct. 13. News of the
transactions of Evans and Sontag, the
California train robbers, has reached
Guaymas, and copies of San Francisco
papers received here containing accounts
are more eagerly pursued from - the fact
that, two strangers, resembling the
printed descriptions of Evans and Son
tag, have been seen here by a number of
persons, including United States Vice-
Consul Hale, during the past week. On
observing . that their movements were
being watched, the two men disappeared
and are believed to have taken passage
on the steamer Korrigan for Santa Ro
salia, Lower California. .

Heppner Gazette. On Tuesday morn
ing, promptly at 7 o'clock, a. m., the
Regulator sailed from The Dalles, with
one. of the merriest, crowds that could
have been conveniently gotten together,
among which was your representative.
The day was a beautiful one. The air
pure, the atmosphere clear, the -world-renowned
scenery of the Columbia never
looked grander. The boat arrived at the
Cascades at 11 o'clock where a landing
was made, the ladies and 'gentlemen at
once proceeding to the depot, where they
met the members of the association, who
had just arrived in a special car. They
then proceeded to . the . government
works toobserve for themselves the locks
and canal, when after a thorough ex
amination of the work that had been;
done by the government, all expressed
themselves in favor of an open river,
and it is needless to say that they will
urge same at the earliest date. '
Com. Review. The people of The
Dalles and Spokane were unstinted in
their hospitality and gave the editors a
welcome that could not have been ex
ceeded in cordiality. The visit to The
Dalles has been productive of good. It
gave them a view of the importance of
the Columbia river. They : were all im
pressed with the necessity of an open
river and learned this from actual ob
servation. . They examined the unfin
ished cascade locks. : Now that they
have seen for themselves what ought to
be done by the federal government in
opening the Columbia river, we hope to
see them make some attempt by their
influence in -demanding the completion
of the same and also for the state to
make an appropriation to build a por
tage railroad from The Dalles to Celilo.
Eugene Register. The Oregon Press
Association, which met at The Dalles
last week, has finished its labors and the
editors have returned to their respective
homes. From all acconnts they must
had a good time, whether they accom
plished any good for themselves or not,
as they were entertained and banqueted
almost every place they went. After
their stay at The Dalles they went to
Spokane and met the Washington Press
Association, and here they were given a
grand reception, after which they took
the Northern Pacific to Tacoma. , The
people always give the association the
best they have in the town, and the an
nual meeting is 'more of a picnic for the
editors than anything else.
Daily Dispatch. To convince a man
that there has been something rotten in
the construction of the locks at the cas
cades, let him go up there and take a
view of what has been done with the
two million of dollars already expended.
It is simply an outrage that the locks
have not long since been completed.
The money has been worse than squan
dered, and we understand that the new
plans under which they are now to be
completed requires the destruction of
most of the work done.
All Serene Again.
Homestead, Pa., Oct. . 13. The mili
tary espionage," kept over this city 05
days, came to an end this morning. Al
most the entire population of. the town
gathered to witness the departure of the
militia, but there Was no demonstration
of any kind. At 10 o'clock every vestige
of camp was removed and then the men
marched to Munhall station, and em
barked on a special train, in waiting.
After the departure of the troops the
crowd dispersed and the town took on
its wonted quiet: General Wylie said to
a reporter that, while be anticipated no
further trouble, - the troops would be
held in readiness and if circumstances
required they would quickly return to
Homestead. Sheriff M. Leary's force of
deputies now numbers 30 men. . Frick
visited the works this morning, but de
clined to be interviewed.
More Salt Found.
Warsaw, N. Y., Oct. 14. At the
Gainesville salt well in this field, salt
was found at the depth of 2,455 feet.
The drill having gone through a 30-foot
bed again ' reentered the rock with a
prospect of another salt stratum being
found below. The first bed of salt is of
sufficient depth for manufacturing pur

A DAY FULL OF GLOOM.
It is Said Mrs. Harrison's Death is
Only a Question of .
THE TRHEAD OF LIFE PARTING.
Weakness so Great That Any New
Complication May be Fatal.
JLOST THE . TJSK , OF ONE LUSO.
IVhat Dr. Gardner Says of the Case IOS- ,
Ing Rather Than Gaining: Ground
Faint Hope.
Washington, Oct. 13 The impression
is general tonight that Mrs. Harrison's
condition becomes graver with the pass
ing of every hour. The day has been
full of gloom to the White House family,
and the shadow has even sunk deeper.
A member of the honeehold said today,
that it was not expected that Mrs. Har
rison would see another Sunday, and ,
that she was still alive was simply re
markable. - Her weakness since Sunday
has been extreme, and, if posible, has .
increased today. The thread of life is
kept up by .stimulating nourishment
every little while. Today at intervals
of three hours she was given a raw egg
fixed up in a palatable way with a little
wine. Eggs and malt extract are about
the only things she can take. The doc
tors visit last night was between 7 and 8 ,
o'clock, and before 9 o'clock the massage
treatment was given the patient.. Her.
weaknees.is so great that it is not thought1
possible she can not survive any new
complication, no matter how- slight.
The president went out for his usual
drive yesterday afternoon, remaining -
away an hour. Dr. Gardner, Mrs. Har
rison's physician, frankly acknowledged
that Mrs. Harrison is in a very precari
ous condition. He is equally frank in
saying that the distinguished patient is
losing rather than gaining ground,
continuing, he said : "Her condition
fluctuates from day to day. That, how- ,
ever, is not unusual in diseases of this
character. She may live for a con pie of
months. She slept a good part of the .
day, but she has lost the use of one lung
and the other is involved to such an ex
tent that it renders her condition criti
cal.. Iii my opinion, however, there is
no immediate danger of a fatal termi
nation. There is liable to be, at any
time, an effusion of fluid: in the cavity
of the pleura. This has f already taken (
place once and is liable to occur again. '
Let Him Escape.
Hazleton, Pa., Oct. 13. Miss Lena
Sclioller, daughter of Christopher Schol
ler, of this city, awoke this morning just
in time to discover a burglar in her room.
With remarkable coolness she drove the
intruder from the house, and saved the
other members of the family, who had
been chloroformed. It was shortly after
midnight when Miss Scholler was
aroused by a noise in the room. The
figure of a man crouching behind a cur
tain was plainly outlined in the moon
light. Seeing he was discovered, the
burglar made a break for the stairs and,
disappeared. The young woman tried
to arouse her sister, but failed. She
rushed to the room occupied by her
mother. She found the latter and a
young sister motionless, and to all ap
pearances dead. Hastening from the
house, -Miss Lena aroused some neigh
bors. When the neighbors arrived she
was cooly applying restoratives to the
other members of the family, who were
soon revived.
