JUDGE NELSON'S
DECISION.
Speaking of patent medicines, the
Judge eaya: "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. Vander
pool (having been treated by him for
eancer), and have used his blood medi
cine, known as the S. B. Headache and
iiiver 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 eay 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
ver tried. - J.B.Nelson,

Minor Topics.
Washington, Nov. 8. A. New York
dispatch says the treasury department's
construction of the president's procla
mation of September 1st, which quaran
tines all ships with immigrants in the
cabin or steerage for twenty days, caused
the detention of the Hamburg-American
steamahi p Suevia, and the Hill line
steamship Richmond Hill in the bay all
day yesterday. The Suevia has 248
cabin passengers, among them eighty
nine citizens and 159 aliens. The steam
ship arrived in quarantine Saturday
nigiit. The quarantine officials fumi
gated her, and allowed her to proceed to
her dock. She was intercepted by the
cutter Washington, and ordered to re
main in the bay until orders were re
ceived from Washington permitting her
to' go up. The .Richmond Hill, from
London, was also passed by the quaran
tine officials. She is also anchored near
Bedloe's island. She has sixty-nine
cabin passengers and six steerage pas
sengers. Sixty of her cabin passengers
are aliens. As tie treasury department
was closed yesterday,, agents of the
steamships could not get an order re
leasing them and they remained at an
chor all night. As they have clean bills
of health, they will doubtless be allowed
to land by the federal authorities" some
time today. Eight liners today have
about 1,000 steerage and 600 abin pas
sengers. In a Close Place.
San Francisco, Nov. 8. A San Diego
dispatch announces the arrival there
yesterday of the Pacific Mail steamer
San Juan, from this port, which narrow
ly escaped being wrecked near Port Har
fort, where she ran into the breakers in
San Luis bay. The steamer struck on
her starboard bow, sheerefl off, an$ went
ahead on the beach. There wasa heavy
swell running, and she careened heavily
to seaward, the sea smashing in all the
windows on the lower deck, and flooding
the cabin. After two hours, thumping
and straining the anchor was got off a
stern and the windlass brought into re
quisition, and she was backed off ap
parently no worse for her hard nsage.
The weather was clear enough at the
time to see objects half a mile ahead.
A Touch Family.
Meridian, Miss., Nov. 7. James Tol-
bert,- father of the Tolbert boys, ' who
have long been a terror and disgrace to
thi9 section, was last night taken from
the guards near Fort Stephens and
lynched by a mob. Charlie Tolbert the
eldest son, is in custody and may escape
mob violence. . Tom Tolbert and his
youngest brother,-Walter escaped after
shooting Tom Cole and are at large,
though armed posses with bloodhounds
are scouring the swamps, and their cap
ture is only a question of time.
Heir to a Fortune. 1
Pittsburg, Nov. 7. Information has
just reached here from California that
Barney Dunning, an inmate of the city
poor farm here for' 22 years, has fallen
heir to an estate valued at 4300,000.
The fortune was bequeathed Dunning by
his brother William, who went to Cali
fornia in 1849, accumulated large wealth
and recently died.
Largest Dog; In the World.
Boston, Nov. 7. Lord Melrose, the
largest St. Bernard dog in the world,
died yesterday at Melrose, Mass. He
was sired by Ben Lomond of Recluse,
and had won the first prize at many
bench shows. He was 35 inches high,
and weighed 210 pounds..
A Snow Storm Raging; -
St. Paul, Nov. 7. Snow with blizzard
propensities is falling here today. The
fall iscomparatively light here, but in
the state it has already fallen to the
depth of six inches. A hard storm is
raging in North Dakota. Much loss of
stock is feared.
AUSTRALIAN BOWER BIRDS.
Feathered Songsters With a High Ap
preciation of the Beantlfal.
The most remarkable ' instance of
aistheticiem among birds is that ex
hibited by the Australian bower. birds,
which, according to Chamber's Journal,
build long galleries in which to play,
adorning them with shelle, feathers,
leaves, bones or any colored or glittering
object which comes in their way. Capt.
Stokes describes one . of these bower
birds as taking a shell alternately from
each side of the bower and carrying it
through in " its beak. - Dumholtz des
cribes several of these playhouses of the
bower birds. He says-they are always
to be found "in small brushwood, never
in the open field ; and in their immediate
vicinity the bird collects a mass of differ
ent kinds of objects, especially snail
shells, which are laid in two heaps, one
at each entrance the one being always
much larger than the other. There are
frequently hundreds of shells, about? 300
in one heap and thirty ' in "the oilier.
There is usually a handfnl of green ber
ries partly inside the bower."
In his interesting book, Among Can
nibals, Lumhoitz describes a playground
of what would appear to be a different
species of that bird, showing even a
greater aesthetic taste. He says: On
the top of the mountain I heard in the
dense scrubs the loud and - unceasing
voice of a bird. I carefully approached
it, sat on the ground and shot it. It was
one of the bower birds, with a gray and
very modest plumage and of the size of
a thrush. As I picked up the bird my
attention was drawn to a fresh covering
of green leaves on the black, soil. This
was the bird's place of amusement
which beneath the dense scrubs formed
a square about a yard each way, the
ground having been cleared of leaves and
rubbish. On this neatly cleared spot
the bird had laid large, fresh-leaves, one
by the side of the other, with considera
ble regularity, and close by he sat'sing
ing, apparently extremely . happy over
his work. As soon as the leaves decay
they are replaced by new ones. On this
excursion ' I saw three such places of
amusement all near each other, and all
had fresh leaves from the same kind of
trees, while a large heap of dry, withered
leaves was lying close by. It seems
that the bird scrapes away the mold
every time it changes the ' leaves, so as
to have a dark background, against
which he green leaves make a better
appearance. (Jan anyone doubt tnat
this bird has the sense of beauty?
Lolt His Dog.
Seattle Times. A Seattle man who
had tried in vain to catch fish with a
hook, concluded to try dynamite, and
his dog, a retriever, was with him. Ar
riving at the spot he ignited the fuse and
cast the bomb to the fishes. The dog
instantly sprang into the water, seized
the bomb and started for Bhore to place
it at his master's -feet. Then began a
race that beggars description the mas
ter endeavoring to get away from the
dog and the dog equally determined to
lay the trophy at his master's feet. The
race terminated when the bomb ex
ploded and blew the dog into kingdom
come.
Too Valuable For a Race Track.
New York, Nov. 7. In all probability
Jerome Park, for a generation far famed
as one of the great racing tracks of the
state, will soon cease to exist as a dis
tinct tract of land, and will be broken
up into building sites. A syndicate of
wealthy men has secured an option on
the land at the price of $600,000, and an
nonnces its intention of taking the title
to the property.
. Elections In Italy.
Rome, Nov. 7. Returns of yesterday's
elections for members of the chamber of
deputies show 184 government support
ers and 71 members of the opposition
were elected. Re-ballots will be neces
sary in 17 districts, in which the govern
ment candidates stand the best chance
of being elected.
Texas Cyclone.
Galveston, Nov. 7. A cyclone, 100
yards wide and a mile long, swept .over
Islann, seven miles from here, yesterday,
leveling everything beforeit. A number
of houses were demolished. One man
was killed, and IS injured.

Important Relics In Dispute.
Chicago, Nov. 8. A Pittsburg .dis
patch says that Fred and T. P. Mollin-
ger, heirs and nephews of the late
Father Mollinger, say they are going to
sell the relics owned by. their uncle.
This has stirred up the members of the
church of the Holy Name, at which the
dead priest performed bo many of his
remarkable cures. ..The members say.
the relics are the property of the'ehurch,
and that in the event of the heirs at
tempting to sell or remove them the
matter will be. taken into court. The
heirs are equally positive that they be
long to the estate. They are now in
Chicago, but will return to Pittsburg
Wednesday, when the matter will likely
be referred to the church. V
Reported to be Insane.
New York, Nov. 7. Rev. T. DeWitt
Talmage was mysteriously absent from
his Brooklyn pulpit yesterday. It is
rumored that his wife became insane in
New Haven yesterday. They were there,
and a late telegram said they had re
turned to New York, but a call at the
house this morning elicited the informa
tion from the housekeeper that they did
not return, and she did not know where
they were. They went away Thursday.
The Chicago Anarchists.
Chicago, Nov. 7. The chief of police
has documents which seem to show that
the anarchists in Chicago are not dead.
It gives notice of a memorial meeting on
November 11th, the anniversary, of the
execution of the Haymarket" anarchists.
Inougn carefully worded it is lnnam
matory throughout, and advocates
boom-throwing and a dagger for the
"Modern Caesar," supposed to be Chief
of Police McClaughrey. .
Big Oil Well Struck.
Portland, Ind. , Nov. 7. The greatest
excitement that has ever been known in
the Indiana oil field exists here. A well
'near Camden on the Grissell farm was
torpedoed, and a solid stream of oil shot
in the air 100 feet above the derrick.
The well is flowing 2,000 barrels a day.
It belongs to Gibson & Giles, of Pitts
burg. Oilmen from all over the country
are flocking to see the big strike.
Lack of Precaution.
Review. It is stated that many old
orchards in the Willumete valley have
become so infested with pests of various
kinds that they will have to be destroyed.
This is the fault of the owners, who
neglected to take any precautions what
ever against the myriads of pests.
