JUDGE NELSON'S
DECISION.
Speaking of patent medicines, the
Judge eays : "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 ain 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 7o years old,
aud 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 stomach and bowels, it is a very su
perior remedy, and beats anything I
ever tried. J. B. Nei'sox,

Keturna hnw That The Supply of Sil

Xev Yokk, Nov. 4. A Brussels dis
patch says that the Belgian delegates to
the international monetary conference
includes three monometallists, Senator
Weber, Superintendent Saintclette, of
the Belgian mint, and Montefiore Levy,
the banker: and one bimetal is t, Allard,
director of the mint. In the absence of
Beernert, prime minister and minister
of finance, who ought to preside at the
conference, but who pleads pressure of
business in the chamber of deputies as
an excuse for not presiding, an American
representative should preside. Dr.
Roland Faulkner, of the University of
Pennsylvania, will accept ,the position
of secretary.
Private lams Duplicity
Pittsburg, Nov. 4. In the lams case
yesterday Charles Hanfield, hospital
nurse, testified he saw lams strung up.
lams did not appear very straight, and
the cord was not taut. lams asked for
a chew of tobacco, and swallowed it,
Five minutes later he drank half a can
teen full of beer. He told witness he
swallowed the tobacco to fool the doc
tors as to bis condition ; that be bad a
purpose. The following Monday lams
told witness his thumbs were all right.
Edward Daugherty, of the Tenth regr
ment, testified that lams told him Sun'
day, just after being drummed ' out of
camp, that he was all right, and would
get even with Streator.
Silver Census Taken.
London, Nov. 3. The census taken by
the Institute of Bankers of the silver
coin held by banks in the United King
dom shows a total of 4,548,775.- Out of
4,589 banks, only 92 failed to report an
aggregate in excess of the average re
quirements of 1,222,545. It is thus
proved the supply of silver coin exceeds
the needs of the public. The census is
the most complete and most reliable
ever taken in the United Kingdom.
A New York Bluff.
Indianapolis, Nov. 4. Attorney
General Miller, how here, says he does
not think the circular sent out from the
democratic headquarters in New York,
counseling resistance to the use of rooms
by United States marshals within 150 feet
of the polls, ia really meant in earnest,
but that it is merely a bit of campaign
literature sent out to nave an euect on
the voter before election day. He said
the marshals would only be eent where
applied for and Vere needed, and he be
lieved all would respect their authority.
Anybody attempting to interfere with
them will bring themselves within the
scope of the federal statutes, regardless
of whether they are acting under state
or municipal law. In view of this fact,
he says he does not believe anybody will
attempt to interfere with them, but any
such interference will be rigorously
prosecuted. The attention of the state
department was called to the matter be
fore through certain alleged instructions
to the police and state officers in Ala
bama and Arkansas with reference to
their conduct toward United States
marshals at the polls.
Anything to Beat Harrison.
N. Y. World. Governor Pennoyer
has tried bard several times to induce
Oregon to give her electoral votes to the
democracy, and failed every time. He
now proposes to work for Weaver, and
we hope he will have better luck. Ore
gon has been steadily republican in
presidential years since 1872, and Har
rison carried it by 6,769 majority. Pen
noyer is a very popular man, having
been elected governor two years ago as
a democrat by 5,515 majority on the
same day that Hermann, republican
was chosen congressman by a majority
of 9,913, and a legislature republican by
forty-two majority on joint ballot was
chosen.
The Dalles Merchants Organize.
Wednesday a meeting of our merchants
was held at the City council hall where
they perfected an organization to be
known as The Dalles Brarfch . of the
Merchants Retail Commercial agency of
Chicago. The object of the organization
is to furnish information to each other
as to who is doing the "dead-beat" busi
ness throughout the counlry and to as
sist. faih nthpr in t.hft inll.fHrn rif ar
Its object is not to injure the credit of
any honest man but to give information
of those who promise to pay but don't
pay. The method adopted is this : The
merchant makes up a list of the names
of persons whose accounts are past due,
no matter whether they are old, outlawed
or simply two or three months past due
from the time agreed upon for payment;
he sends this list of names to the San
Francisco office. The agents at that
place send four letters to each person
named ; these letters are sent at inter
vals of ten days apart, and fully explain
what will bo done unless the debt is
paid or a settlement effected. . They re
peatedly tell the debtor that if the bill
s unjust or if he has any reason for not
paying the account, to write them and
the matter will be considered.
Debtors can settle their accounts by
cash or note or answer the letters and
show to the satisfaction of our mer
chants why it was impossible to pay,
and their names will not appear on the
abstact. If the debtor does allow his
name to appear, it will stay there until
the debt is paid. If he moves to any
other part of the United States or Can
ada, his name will be in the abstract
furnished to the merchants with whom
he has to deal. No matter if a man is a
millionaire if he will not pay his indebt
edness as agreed, his name will appear
by the side of the lowest "dead beat'' in
the lan'd, and the one will not receive
any more credit or indulgence from our
business men than the other. The time
has gone by when a wealthy man rnay put
off paying his just bills until it suits his
humor to pay and say to the merchant
sue me if you want it before I get
ready to pay I have property." He
well knows that the merchant cannot af
ford the cost of a law suit. The mer
chant is compelled to pay cash for his
goods in thirty, sixty or ninety days,
and he often bases his calculations tf
pay at such times on the honesty and
integrity of his customers ; if these fail
him, his investment is gone and he is
"driven to the wall," so that this organ
ization is necessary to his protection.
If any man is inclined to let his name
appear on our abstract because the ac
count is unjust, let him remember that
he has the opportunity and is requested
to appear before ourexecutive board and
give his reasons for not paying the ac
count and, if the reason is a good one,
his name will not appear.
The officers of the associatiation are :
President, G. C. Blakeley; Vice Presi
dent, H. Chrisman ; Secretary, O. D.
Doane ; Treasurer, IE. C. Phirman ;
Executive Board r O. Kinersly, E. C

Telegram. Chairman Dan R.- Mur
phy, of the state-central committee, was
seen this afternoon by a Telegram re
porter, and asked if he had any state
ment to make regarding the action taken.
He said : "I have done everything in
my power to carry, out the instructions
of the national committee; but the eleo
tors positively refused to withdraw, and
the only thing for democrats to do is to
support their ticket as it stands. Orders
to this effect have been issued, and such
orders are final and official, and will not
be changed." How is that for Bossism.

Madrid, Nov. 3. The populace of
Granada are greatly incensed at the re
fnsaaf the queen regent, Christina, to
vinit the oil v with ICiiicr Alfnnsn. tn As
sist at the unveiling of the statute of
Columbus. A mob gathered and de
stroyed the decorations and reviewing
stands. Finally some one shouted : .
"Down with the government," and
"Lonjr live the republic." The mob
took up the cry and a serious outbreak
was imminent, when the civil guards
charged on the mob, laying right and
left with their swords. A number were
seriously wounded, and thirty taken
prisoners. The refusal of the queen to
be present was due to a desire to spare
King Alfonso fatigue after his recent
illness. In consequence of the disturb
ance the mayor of Granada has resigned,

present at the dedication. The civil
governor of Madrid has resigned in con
sequence of the riots in Prado, growing
out of the prohibition of the open-air
concert. It is expected the mayor will
also resign.
Sharp fighting in Dahomey.
Pakis, Nov. 3. Colonel Dodds, French
commander in Dahomey, telegraphs
that the Dahomeyans attacked him with
full force October 20th, but were re
pulsed with ' heavy loss after two days'
fighting. King Behanzin offered to sue
for peace, but the terms were not satis
factory and the French advanced, carry
ing three lines of intrenchments after
two days' fighting. Dodds is preparing
foivji final a'dvance upon Abomev. The
French loss was ten killed and seventy
five wounded. Dodds says the Dahomey
ans are weakened by the heavy losses
of recent engagements, and are now
making a less vigorous resistance.
November Planets in Sight.
November is pre-eminently the month
for meteors. Several- good showers oc
cur annually. There are frequently dis
plays on November 1 and 2, near the
constellation Taurus. In the early
morning hours of November 13-17 an
interesting shower may be observed.
There are the Leonid meteors, which
develop with such marvelous strength
every thirty-three years; as in 1S33 and
1866, and, undoubtedly, in 1899. On
the night of November 27, 1892, it ia ex
pected that there will be a marked dis
play of the Andromeda meteors ; those
following in the train of the Biela comet.
To briefly state the planetary movements
for November: Mercury is evening
star, being at greatest elongation east of
the sun on the 22d, about which time he
may be seen in the southwest for a few
moments each evening juBt after sunset.
Venus and Saturn are morning stars,
and will be very close together on the
morning of November 10th. Mars ia the
bright red star in Aquarius, which is on
the meridian at sunset, and sets about
midnight, and Jupiter is that bright
familiar object which is to be found well
up in the east when the night com
mences, and which is now so interesting
to Pacific coast residents because of
Professor Barnard's discovery of a faint
fifth moon ; so faint indeed and jso-min-ute
that even in the great Lick glass its
light is not sufficient ts survive the in
tense glare of the adjacent planet.
