JUDGE NELSON'S
DECISION.
Speaking of patent medicines, the
Judge Bays: "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
bo. I am acquainted with Dr. Vandef
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 Brights disease, and as an alterative
for the blood, or to correct the action of
the etomach and bowels, it is a very su
perior remedy, and beats anything I
ever tried. " J. B. Nelson,

Reported TM 50.000 Union Pacific are
in Existence.
CONFLICT OF OPINION ABOUT IT.
Passenger Rates Badly Demoralized all
Over the Country.
EVEKY LINK IS CUTTING HATES.
What tbe Scalpers TUInk of the Alleged
Bog-n Tickets for the Union Pacific
- Minor Mention.
A dispatch received from Chicago to
the effect that there are 50,000 counter
feited and manipulated Union Pacific
tickets in the hands of scalpers was a
leading topic of discussion among rail
road passenger men today. In Portland
according to the Telegram, the prevail
ing impression among passenger officials,
seems to be that these tickets, as issued
by the Union Pacific, can easily be both
counterfeited and manipulated. At the
Union Pacific passenger offices, Mr.
Hurlbnrt was seported out of the city,
and the only statement that could . be
obtained was that nothing was known
of it here. No one could be found who
would say anything about the probable
action of tbe company in . the matter.
The usual method of meeting such cases'
is to reduce the rates to the prices quoted
by the scalpers and freeze them down to
the price paid for the ticket, but in this
case it is supposed that the tickets were
in a large measure counterteitea out
right, although many have been found of
genuine issue which have been raised
from short to long distance points.
Should the Union Pacific abandon the
tickets and refuse to honor another one,
the company would undoubtedly become
involved in a number of damage suits,
brought by innocent holders of the tick
ets ; but if tbe complication is as bad
as reported, railroad men generally are
of tbe opinion that this is the only way
to prevent & widespread demoralization.
Portland scalpers say it is an improb
able story. Passenger rates all over the
country are in a badly demoralized
state, and every line is cutting the es
tablished rates. It looks like tbe Union
Pacific had issued these tickets, which
were placed in the hands of the brokers
at low rates, and now, to clear them
selves of the charge of cutting rates, they
set up a cry of stop thief, and lay it all
to the scalpers. Tbe brokers are not
taking any chances of resorting to crim
inal methods in a matter of this kind,
and very few of them would knowingly
have anything to do with counterfeited
or manipulated tickets, it is simply a
scheme of the Union Pacific to cat rates,
and snouider tne Diame on some one
else., Inquiry developed the fact that
there are more than the usual number
of Union Pacific tickets in the hands of
local brokers, and several methods of
manipulating tickets were unfolded to
the Telegram man, which, it was stated,
positively could not be detected,, if ar
tistically done. '..The general feeling of
the scalpers seemed to be that the story
was a hoax, inspired either to shield the
company's officials or to advertise a cer
tain patent, mentioned in the dispatch
sent out.
Mrs. Lease Truthfully Spoken.
As the democracy have disputed the
fact that Mrs. Lease has declared in favor
of Harrison, we copy a part of the in
terview with her in Kansas in which
she made a sensation. While accom
panying General Weaver through the
southern states Mrs. Lease as well as
the General was subjected to several inr
dignities, and she believes that a party
capable of visiting unmerited contempt
uous treatment upon representatives of
an honest American party is not deserv
ing of American votes. "If a vote for
Weaver is in reality a vote for Cleve
land," she said,' "then my desire is that
the people's party scratch their ticket
and vote for the Harrison electors." Next
to Jerry Simpson, Mrs. Lease is the
strongest leader of the Kansas populists,
and her expressed wishes have caused
great consternation in the democratic
camp. '
Mrs. Lease ia showing that she has
more common sense than she was sup
posod to possess. When she was down
in Georgia with General Weaver she
told the Cleveland democrats that they
were hurting their fat prophet by their
ill behavior, and that.every decayed egg
ItnrownatWeavermeant. gain in the
west of a thousand votes for Harrison.
one appears now to uave uiauu me iur-
ther discovery that every vote for
Weaver is an indirect vote for Cleveland ;
that every elector taken from 'Harrison
and given to Weaver is merely one given
to Cleveland, .while every elector seem
ingly taken from Cleveland and given to
Weaver is still a Cleveland elector, and
that the democratic game is to use the
Weaverites to prevent Harrison's elec
tion and throw it into the house, where
the democrats control thirty state dele
gations out of 44. There is no possible
chance of electing Weaver. The choice
lies between Cleveland and Harrison.
If the populists prefer the Buzzard bay
prophet they should vote for him direct
ly, and not in the indirect way of voting
for Weaver in order to throw the elec
tion into the house, where Cleveland
has a dead sure thing of it. If they pre
fer Harrison they should vote for him.
They should have too much self-respect
to figure in history as mere stool-pigeons
for Cleveland.
Very Close Call.
Last Sunday afternoon, as W. E. Fow
ler, cashier of the Arlington first Na
tional bank, who had been gunning up
the Columbia river, was riding leisurely
down the railroad track near and behind
the east bound train, and while in a
sharp curve of the road be suddenly saw
a light engine immediately in front of
him and coming at the rate of sixty
miles an hour towards him. Although
on a rocky embankment, the Kecord
says he and his fancy horse Jock made a
sudden leap for their temporal salva
tion, and landed, he on his feet in a'
vacant spot, and the horse farther down
the grade and lying on his back among
some boulders. The engine and tender,
which proved to be. that of Engineer
Patterson on his way from The Dalles,
almost brushed them as it passed, leav
ing a impression which will long be re
membered by Mr. Fowler. He was
nnable to extricate tbe horse alone, but
soon after had the assistance of friends,
when the party with some difficulty
moved a few boulders and got him up.
The horse bore some slight injuries only,
while Mr. F.'s shotgun was literally de
molished.
Red Tar or Paint.
Heppner Gazette. Frank Lee, who is
wool salesman for Christy & Wise, writes
to us from Boston, saying : "I am ' get
ting a deal of opposition from manufac
tures in regard to eastern Oregon wool, j
on account of sheepmen branding their j
sheep with tar or red paint. .Knowing
by the acquaintance that I have had
with you, that you are fully interested
in anything that would benefit youi sub
scribers, I have taken the liberty to send
you two samples of wool by .mail. The
one marked No. 1, is Australian wool.;
This is sold to manufacturers; and guar
anteed free from any brand. Mo. 2,
represents what came out of one fleece
of eastern Oregon wool, raised by one of
your prominent sheepmen. I wish you
would call their attention to the injury
they do both themselves and the com
mission man, by using such unnecessary
brand, and I would suggest to .them
that if they must brand with tar or red
paint, they ought to hire one shearer
during shearing time to cut off the
branded portion and throw it away, as
it injures the sale of their wool at least
lc per pound, here. In San Francisco,
also, the minute buyers, who under
stood their business ; strike to see evi
dence of tar or ' paint brand on wool,
they doc it lc per tt. I have quite a
number, of personal friends among the
sheepmen of Morrow county, and I am
desirous of seeing them get ail there is
in it, especially when they ire customers
of phristy & Wise." .
None of The Extremes.
Telegram. Tbe great season of storms
has begun again. States of the central
west and far east are to regale the news
papers with stories of cyclones, blizzards,
snow blockades and freezing cold.' These
reports will come from all over the
country lying on the east of the Cascades,
but the Pacific slope "will enjoy a winter
free from these menaces to life and limb,
and will rejoice ia a climate that knows
none of the extremes.

A Boston Shooting Party Off for a
Cruise in the Pacific Ocean.
TO THE MONETARY CONFERENCE
Got. Ireland of Texas Ineligible" for
the Campaign One Goat Too
Many for Him.
New York, Nov. 1. The London
Times, reviewing American politics to
day takes occasion to say that' England
has no reason to be very enthusiastic
over the candidates. "Cleveland, while
president, distinguished himself by . a
gratuitous insult to England by demand
ing the recall of Minister West. - Presi
dent Harrison has not been behind
hand in some methods of currying favor
with the omnipotent Irish vote. The
appointment as minister to Chili of
Patrick . Egan, whose friendship with
Blaine he lately boasted of in public, is
enough to indicate the spirit of the ad
ministration which elected the financier
of the land league campaign for diplo
matic promotion."
A Shooting; Cruise.
Boston, Oct. 31. A shooting outfit,
which is probably the most complete
that ever left New England shores, will
start in a few days for the Pacific. The
crack schooner rattler, of Rockport, is to
sail for Behring sea in pursuit of seal,
walrus and other furs. The Japan coast
will also be visited. In addition Co the
regular crew the Rattler carries 12 men,
whose business will be Bolelv to shoot
such game as may be found.
To the Monetary' Conference.
New Yokk, Nov. 1. Henry W. Can
non, one of the American delegates to
the international monetary conference,
had a conference at the state depart
ment yesterday with Secretary Foster in
regard to the duties and powers of dele
gates. Cannon and Senator Jones, an
other delegate, and Director Leech of
tbe mint bureau, will sail on the 9th for
Brussels, where the conference will be
held, beginning the 22d. The remain
ing three delegates will meet at Wash
ington the 10th to receive final instruc
tions from the president through tbe
secretary of state prior to their depart
ure from JNew York.
Knocked Oat By a Goat.
San Antonio, Tex. Oct. 31. A dis
patch from Sequin states that ex-Gov
ernor John Ireland baB been prevented
from entering the state campaign in be
half of Hogg on account of injuries
which he recently received from a
vicious billy-goat. .The bearded animal
was kept in a pasture adjoining the gov
ernor's home. A,few mornings ago Mr.
Ireland was crossing the pasture in his
usual dignified style, when the billy
goat struck him with full force from be
hind. The Texas statesman was knocked
down and repeatedly struck by the goat.
He made vain endeavors to ward off the
blows with his feet, but was not success
ful in doing bo. He was rescued by
neighbors and taken to his home, where
be has since been confined.
Death of Jake Winters.
San Fkancisco, Nov. - 1. A Carson
dispatch tells of the death of a noted
character, Jake Winters, a man who has
not washed or shaved himself for twenty
five. years, a denzen of Carson valley.
When a young man he made a vow that
until the democratic party came into
power he would go unwashed and un
shaved. When Cleveland was elected
he was reminded of lii3 vow, but refused
to take the necessary steps toward clean
ing himself. His neighbors at once at
tempted to wash him, by force, but he got
away and threatened, to kill everybody
who tried to clean him again. He was
about sixty years old. ,
