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 (haying been treated by him for
cancer), and have used his blood medi
cine, known as the S. B. Headache and
Liver Care, and while I am 75 years old,
and have used many villa and other
remedies for the blood, liver and kid
neys, I mast say that for a kidnev tonic
.in Brights 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. Nrj'bon,

Sax Francisco, Oct. 18. A Port
Town6end dispatch eays the Chilean
bark Augusta was fired upon late Sun
day night in the straits four miles below
by the revenue cutter Oliver Wolcott, for
attempting to leave Puget sound ' with-'
out a - custom-house clearance; The
Augusta arrived at Townsend several
weeks ago from Chili. She surrendered
her register to Chilean Consul MacOn
dray and then proceeded to' Tacoma to
load cargo. Vice-Chilean Consul de Lion
at Tacoma advised the captain to demand
his register from Macondray, and if re
fused, to proceed to sea with a temporary
register provided by de Lion. Macond
ray instructed the vessel to clear from
Townsend. As the vessel was going to
sea the Wolcott overhauled her and she
refused to heave-to until fired upon.
The vessel is subject to a fine of $500.
The trouble was occasioned by jealousy
between Macondray and De Lion in re
lation to which one of them shall act for
; the transaction of Chilean business on
Puget sound.
Mrs. Harrison a Little Better.
Washington, Oct. 17. It is said at
the White House, Mrs. Harrison passed
a fairly ' comfortable night and ' this
morning is stronger, brighter and live
lier than at any time within the past
three days. Dr. Gardner paid a visit to
Mrs. Harrison at noon. -He said that
although she was better this afternoon
she nevertheless is steadily losing
ground. She displayed a great deal of
vitality, and is not so exhausted as the'
public seemed to think. He thought she
might linger a month yet, unless some
unforeseen complication arose.
A .Miserly Father.
Lewes, Del., Oct. 18. The county
authorities have taken charge of John
Allen's effects. He died at Bethel on
the 8th, near here, in a freight car,
which he had purchased for a few dol
lars. In this hovel he reared a large
family of children and conducted a small
store, tobacco and cider being his prin
cipal stock in trade: After his death, a
committee to take an inventory of his
effects was appointed by the orphans'
court. They found bank and railroad
etocks amounting to several thousands
of dollars. In an old box was found
nearly $20,000 in gold coin. Allen had
three daughters who were compelled to
go out at service, doing kitchen work.
Railway Land Surveys. -
Oregonian. The appropriations placed
at the disposal of Surveyor General Byars
for the survey of public lands are divided
into two portions, one for the -survey of
lands within railroad grants and the
other for . lands, outside of such grants.
In case a railroad conld not . find land
sufficient within the lines of its grants it
was allowed to go 10 cniles , outside to
secure them, and there-was some doubt
as to what fund -was, available for the
survey of this land.,,. On applying to the
commissioner of the general land office
he ia informed that- the. appropriation
for the survey of lands within railroad
grants cannot be used for lands- without
the primary limits of such grants. , Any
surveys in the 10-mile limit ' must be
paid for from the outside appropriation.
It Is a Daisy.
Klamath Star. . The Independence
West Side plant was picked up last week
by E. C. Pentland, who first planted it,
and it is now being brushed so success
fully that its fragrant calyx ia peeping
forth and proclaiming that it is a daisy
yet. The Willamette valley has now no
finer-looking county paper than the West
Side.

- TBI FOIITLANI) EXPOSITION.
Most Valuable and. Successful Fair
Drawing; to a Close.
Oregonian.- The fourth annual fair of
the Portland Industrial Exposition is
drawing . to a close, and while it has
created no local furore, it has been the
most valuable and successful in the his
tory of the society; With the exception
of such business men as use the fair as a
means of making their enterprises fa
miliar to the people, its value and im
portance are little realized by the people
of Portland. It is not for the purpose of
maintaining a place of ' pleasant resort
the gentlemen managing this enterprise
devote to it so much time, thought and
energy. The music and special attrac
tions are provided to draw attendance
and help the finances of the society, but
they are merely incidental and to a de
gree extraneous.' The chief object is the
display of the resources and prosperity
of the city and state, as a means of at
tracting " attention to them and thus
leading to more rapid growth in wealth,
population and industries. - For this ob
ject the attendance of strangers is of
great importance. '
Another object is to knit more firmly
the bond between the city and country,
and with this end in view special effort
is made to provide facilities for the at
tendance of the residents of every sec
tion of the state. Aside from the finan
cial feature, a large attendance of our
own people furthers both of these ob
jects, since it creates a favorable im
pression upon strangers from other
states, and stimulates the pride and
friendly interest of - those who may be
present from other portions of Oregon.
The fair is doing a good work.'. The
exhibition of Oregon's resources is ex
tensive, and cannot fail to impress every
one who sees it. The people of Portland
are proud to be able to maintain ' such
an institution, and those of other local
ities are equally proud of their enter
prising and prosperous metropolis. If
the same energy and business sagacity
the managers of the Portland Industrial
Exposition display in this home enter
prise were bestowed also upon a display
of the resources of Oregon at the world's
fair, the Btate would reap a rich reward.
COLUMBUS DAT.
Flag; Troubles in Newark N. J.,
and
Bataria, N. T.
. A dispatch from Newark, yesterday
says a eensation was caused at a conven
tion of the Catholic societies, when ex-
Alderman John Bruder, of Harrison,
spoke upon the question of carrying flags
in the Columbus celebration there on
October 21st. A motion had been made
to permit societies to carry any national
flag in the parade, providing that the
stars and stripes were allowed to precede
them. - The ex-alderman, who is a Ger
man, arose and, taking up a position in
the center aisle, said impressively : "We
should have the. papal flag first. We
are Catholics first, and Americans after
ward." A silence followed which was
oppressive. It was, however, decided
that the resolution should permit all
societies to carry any flag they wanted,
bat the American flag should go first.
At Batavia, N. .Y., yesterday every
body threw out flags in honor of Colum
bus day.. An Englishman, named
Williams, who has Jived there fifteen
years, but has never been naturalized,
ran up the British flag. ' His neighbors
objected to his displaying the flag' alone
and asked him to put up ' an American
flag with it. Williams said the British
flag was going to Stay right where it was,
and alone. He wouldn't put up the flag
of any country whose people were in the
habit of making fun of English, English
institutions and Queen Victoria, as
Americans were. The neighbors then
got a lot of Roman candles and began to
bom,bard the Englishman. He escaped
into his house and they turned the
candles upon the flag, burning and tear
ing it to shreds. Williams then ran up
the stars and stripes.
Then They Balk.
Klamath Star. United States Minister
Patrick Egan believes the bulk of the
Irish vote will be cast for Harrison this
fall. The Irish are 'willing to pull for
anything American, but when it comes
to pulling our markets over to John Bull
it looks too English you know, and they
get balky. '

NEARLY ALL ON BOARD DROWNED.
Hatches Torn off by Cross Seas and the
Hold Filled With Water.
IMPOSSIBLE TO LAUNCH BOATS.
Drifted Upon an Island and Went to
Pieces The Exact Xnmber Lost
Unknown.
San Francisco, Oct. 18. A dispatch
from Hongkong says that the Peninsular
and Oriental steamer Bokhara which'
left Shanghai for Hongkong on the 8th, ,
went to pieces on' an island in a typhoon.
As she was overdue, the company sent
the steamer Bombay, and the British
cruiser Porpoise in search of her. They
bring intelligence that she was wrecked
on Sand island, ' between the island- of
Formosa and the Chinese mainland, m
the line of the fearful typhoons which
sweep that portion of - the world. She
carried a large number of both cabin
and steerage passengers, besides a crew.
All on board were downed, except
twenty-three. After battling long in the
terrible cross sea which broke over her
constantly, the hatches were torn ofT,
the hold filled with water, and fires were
put out and she drifted upon an island
and went to pieces. It was impossible
to launch the boats, and of those on
board only twenty-three were able to
cling to the wreck till the storm sub
sided. The exact number lost is not
known. ' The Bokhara was a fine
steamer, of 3,000 tons - burden. The
cargo was very valuable, consisting, in
addition to the mails, of a large amount
of specie and a . heavy consignment of
silk. ',..;.
- Chicago Horse Market.
Chicago, Oct. 18. J. S. Cooper, com
mission salesman of horses, Union Stock
Yards, says: The market on all kinds of
small horses was very dull and lower,,
and difficult to Eell at anything like
satisfactory prices. Heavy draft horses,
on the contrary, even if slightly blem
ished,' sold unusually well and freely
The demand for these has become very
pronounced, and the prospects indicate
an active trade in loggers for . the next
couple months. The receipts of range
horses has been larger than for some
time, and prices ruling from $30 to f 50-

A Bountiful Collection.
Walla Walla Union. G. E.- Richard
son was the name of the tramp, "much
more picturesque than prepossessing in
his personal appearance," who saved
the destruction of a train on the Union
Pacific on the 7th. Richardson, tramp
ing -his tramp on the track, found that
sliding rocks from an adjacent mountain
side had covered the rails. He started
to remove the rocks, but lighted a fire
on the track as a signal. This was seen
by the engineer, but not in time to pre
vent striking the rocks, which derailed
a pair of trucks under the engine and
another under the tender. A locomotive '
was sent from Pendleton, and the train ,
brought on after a few hours delay. If
no warning had been given, the train
would have been . thrown off the track,
down the embankment, 100 feet into the
river. Many passengers were on board,
and a frightful loss of life would inevita- -bly
have resulted. : A bountiful collection
was taken np amounting to $8, for the
tramp. . -
