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 (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 stomach and bowels, it is a very su
perior remedy, and leats anything I
ever tried. J. B. Nelsox,

St. Louis, Nov. 15. When the
Knights of Labor convene in' annual
session to-day, they will begin perhaps
the most eventful gathering since the
inauguration of the order. The general
assembly will this year at least have the
satisfaction of listening to a report which
shows a decided increase in membership,
and as this has not been the case since
the Richmond convention, the- fact be
comes one of decided interest. At the
present meeting the most important
topic of discussion will be that relating
to politics. Efforts will be made to se
cure radical changes in the present laws
governing the organization. The most
forceful blow of which will be aimed at
the cardinal principle contained in the
preamble "No one shall,, however, be
compelled to vote with the majority."
It is not intended to coerce the working
man to vote for a particular nominee,
but to use moral persuasion in the in
terest of the candidates who are friendly
to organized labor. Ultimately it is
hoped to place on a firm footing a labor
political party that will have no relation
to either of the old parties. It is to be
essentially a workingman's party, whose
course shall be dictated by the masses
and not by political wirepullers.or labor
leader dictation.
There is talk too of the retirement of
Grand Master Powderly, who after ten
terms of service, would gladly retire if the
aseembly could unite on his successor.
He himself is said to look favorably on
A. W.' Wight, editor of the Journal of
United Labor. John W. Hays, secretary-treasurer,
will be re-elected to suc
ceed himself. The order of the K. of L.
was started in Philadelphia in December
1869,4mt not until 1878 was a national
constitution adopted. At the first meet
ing in Scranton Uriah S. Stephens was
elected grand master. In 1379 the con
vention was held in St. Louis ; and here
it was that Grand Master Powderly was
first chosen as the leader of the move
ment. From 188 oto 1887 the order grew
to a membership of almost a million ;
and then began a rapid decline, finally
having less than two hundred thousand
members on its "books. - Last year at
Denver, political action was endorsed,
and the union of the interests of the
Knights' with- those of the people's party
tended to. iricreaee-: the membership.
Chicago Bone Market.
Chicago,' .Nov. 15. J.. S. Cooper, com
mission salesman of horses, Union Stock
Yards, Chicago says : The market has
shown a slight change for the better
within a few days both in demand and
price and it would be very reasonable to
predict an immediate improvement fol
lowing the close of the electoral contest.
Business will once more assume its nat
ural aspect, and orders which for some
weeks have been withheld, will now
come through the regular channel. The
lumbering interest will, as usual at this
season, come to the front, and as they
have been sparing buyers of late there
should be quite a demand for heavy log
gers. Good blocks generally will also be
in demand. The sales of range horses
have been small and prices very low. It
is too late to handle these except at sac
rifice prices, averaging $15 a head for
smooth 900 lbs.
The Great Lockout.
London, Nov. 14. The second week
of the great cotton lockont opens with
increased prospects of the trouble being
long continued. There are 6,000,000
spindles working full time, 750,000,000
on half time and 12,600,000 stopped.
The Masters' Federation has asked the
owners of the spindles working full time
to begin to shorten time Thursday. All
have assented except masters at Bolton,
who spin Egyptian cotton mostly. They
plead their hands are full of orders and
their mills must work full time to meet
them;''' -' "'
Conditions Will Change.
Discussing the cattle market, the Live
Stock Journal savs the liim onntinnprl
depression in the cattle business has
played havoc with many people and es
pecially with cattle companies, but the
belief is now very general among men
wno nave watched the current of events,
that a turn is about to come in the loner
down hill road. Whether this will prove
true or not remains, of course, with the
future to demonstrate. It is true, " how
eve.r, that there is no lane solong but it
has a turn, and the -tide on the eeaahore
never runs so far out that it fails to re
turn. As the tide on its return flows as
high on the banks as before the ebb. so
there will be a return to prosperity in
the cattle rising business, and prices
will be as high as before the great de
pression. How soon this reiurn will set in is, of
course, a matter of speculation, but the
signs point to 1893 as the year of jubilee.
There are two leading cauees or reasons
for this belief. First, the long continued
depression in beef values has tnrned the
farmers of the old west from beef pro
duction to other pursuits to a large ex
tent, and production is not keeninc
with the increase of population. The
second factor is the large falling off in
production of ranee beef from the rnilf to
the northern range limit. These two
iactors are sufficient to bring about a
decided reaction so soon as they are
clearly understood in the market cen
ters, and it is believed that another year
will demonstrate the true situation.
Then be of good cheer and hold on
faithfully to your cattle possessions.
The Lumber Combine.
The combinations of thai saw mills
of the Pacific northwest, to be known as
the Pine manufacturers' association , has
been completed. Of the mills admitted
into the combine, twelve were formerly
members of the Pacific pine lumber
company, and these are allowed a cut
of 431,000,000 feet, while the remaining
seventeen will be allowed to cnt' but
279,000,000 feet annually. The mem
bership, as at present given out, will
include thirty of the principal mills of
the coast. The price of rough lumber
shall be $10 and of dressed lumber $16.
50, f. o. b., at point of shipment. Each
mill to make its own sale and handle its
own cut. Any mill exceeding the cut
allotted to it will pay the association
for each thousand of rough lumber $1,
and for dressed $2, and for lath 50 cents.
Each mill must turn into main office
difference between cost and selling price.
An Educational Qualification.
Oregonian. In the recent scramble to
securevotes for the opposing candidates,
there was nothing more disgraceful, out
side of the slums of New York and Chi
cago, where ignorance was worked up to
its full limit, than the leading feature of
the territorial campaign in Oklahoma,
where a strong fight was made by all
parties to .secure the Indian vote. The
Indians who recently became citizens
are chiefly of the Arapahoe and Chey
enne tribes,- and number about 800
voters. Of this number not more than
twenty-five can read and write. The
head of the republican ticket was em
bellished by a full-size picture of an In
dian, while the democratic ticket was
adorned Bimply by the head of a brave.
After great effort the former captured a
majority of the Arapahoes, and the lat
ter a majority of the Cheyennes. While
the red-skin vote may not be a. more
pernicious element in our politics than
many others that are recognized as legal
and necessary, the struggle to secure it,
together with the dense ignorance of the
new voters, suggests, with startling dis
tinctness, the advisability, that will one
day become a necessity, of establishing
an educational qualification for voters by
constitutional amendment.
Locomotive Explosion.
Reading, Pa., Nov. 15. An eneine
drawing a light train on the Philadel
phia and Reading blew up near Schuylkill
Haven yesterday morning, killing five
men, tearing up tracks, dismantling the
locomotive, -hurling machinery several
squares, and scattering destruction all
around. The explosion came without
any warning whatever.

Second Week of the English Cotton
Spinners' Strike - Millions of
Splndlers Are Idle.
On her last voyage to the Orient the
steamer City of Peking, which arrived
in San Francisco yesterday, was in the
typhoon that wrecked the British
steamer Bokhara. The Peking rode out
the gale, but that she did not meet with
disaster was principally due to the ex
cellent seamanship and good judgment
of her commander, Capt. Robt. R.
Searle. "We were in company with
the Bokhara," said one of the officers of
the Peking, "on the day she was lost.
At 1 o'clock on that fatal afternoon
Capt. Searle ordered the Peking hove to
and everything made taut above and
below decks. The Bokhara kept right
on, leaving us behind, but reports show
that she also hove to an hour later.
Had her captain taken the same precau
tion as our 8, his . vessel would not have
been driven ashore and wrecked "with
fearful loss of life. The Peking rode out
the storm beautifully, the immense seas
only occasionally reaching her deck.
One of the Empresses of the Canadian
Pacific line was in sight during . the
typhoon. ' She also was hove to, but the
waves washed her' decks fore and aft.
'There was no rain, but the typhoon
blew with terrific-force. " The storm
lasted for two days, and during all that
time Capt. Searle hardly left the bridge
to take his meals. When we arrived at
Hong Kong a British man-of-war was
about to go in search of us, for the re
port had got out that the Peking had
gone down with the Bokhara. The re
joicing on our safe arrival consequently
was great." -
The Lady Denies the Story.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 14. The report of
Senator Hill's engagement to Mrs.
Fanny Iverson, of Atlanta, is unequivo-..
cally denied. She met Senator Hill
years ago on his visit to Atlanta at one
of the receptions tendered him here.
The report of their engagement was cir
culated a short while after Gov. Hill's
visit to Atlanta at that time and has
been revived at intervals. Mrs. Iverson
has not met Senator Hill since then, and
those who know her best say there is
not a word of truth in the report. She
is one of the most beautiful women in
the south and has been widowed about
six years. Her friends laugh at the re
port that she is engaged to anybody. -
Usefulness of Waterways.
Buffalo, Nov. 15. The importance
and usefulness of the lakes and Erie
canal as freight regulators, were never
more forcibly shown than at present.
While the rail rates on grain from
Chicago to New York are 5c per 100
pounds, equal to about 15 cents a bushel
on wheat, the water route rate, including
Buffalo charges, is 9 cents per bushel.
Possibly these low rates are made by "
the boatmen in view of the approaching
close of the season, and the fact that
grain by the Erie canal can be held all
winter in the boats at a reasonable
charge. In anv event, it shows the
value of the canals as a freight regulator
in competition with the railroads. There
is an effort being made to keep the Erie
canal open until December 10th. Grain
shippers can now save 5c a bushel by
canal and secure cheap storage as well.
