JUDGE NELSOlW
DECISION.
Speaking ' of patent medicines, the
Judge eays : "I wish to deal fair!)7 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
onncer), and have used his blood medi
cine, known as the S. B. Headache and
t .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 beats anything I
' ever tried. J. B. Nelson,

ASE WK PASSING A COMET StIIEAH.
The IJiiilay Comes From. Every lirect
iuu Filling The Sky With Stream
" ing Fire.
A New York dispatch saya the heavens
were filled with celestial fireworks
last night, and , those who kept
their ej-es and minds on things earthly
missed a beautiful and interesting dis
play. All over the sky bright spots and
streaks of light were darting and stream
ing. They came from all quarters, and
darted in every direction Some gleam
ed suddenly and brilliantly and sudden
ly went out like the intermittent flashes"
from tropical fireflies in the dark forests..
Others flashed across the sky, leaving
behind them a streak of reddish light
that often seemed to extend clear across
the firmament and last until the bril
liant head and all were swallowed up in
blackness. Astronomers w.ere not plenti
ful on the streets, and an authoritative
opinion on what the meteors can mean
could not be obtained. Some people
suggested that they were "the particles
left straggling behind by Biela's comet,
and that we are now passing through
.that stream of particles.
The' heavens above, Pittsburg, .Pa.,
were ablaze with flaming and shooting
meteors. The mysterious celestial mes
sengers dotted hither and thither
through the skiea in great numbers and
with great . brilliancy, interesting the
whole town and country, and alarming
quite a nutnberof timid' persons.
Chicago eays something in ' infinite
space went to infinite smash. Between
6:30 and 7:30 o'clock enough stars
dropped from the firmament to stock. a
newrworld. On every side the brilliant
meteors could be seen falling. The dis
play was largely confined to the north
and east. - The sky was clear, arid the
night cool and 'dark.'
In Denver there was .a considerable
display of meteors, filling the whole sky
with streaks and streams of fire. They
came from all directions, and were quite
startling in their number and brilliancy.
The streets were crowded with people
with their faces turned up to the sky,
and there has been considerable excite
ment throughout the., town and around
about. Many people think it was a
come).. . ... '
Jacksonville, i lorida, was visited by a
shower of meteors, which illuminated
the heavens for three-quarters of an
hour.
In Washington there was a meteoric
shower about ' 9' o'clock. This shower
was predicted for the 27th.
Galesburg, Illinois, had a meteoric
shower.' . Shooting . stars were flying
around in all directions.
Good Suggestions.
Tacoma Ledger. Mr. Powderly made
some suggestions at the general meeting
at the Knights of Labor yesterday that
are worthy of careful consideration.
One is that the order should go further
with its ballot reform work than it has
done hitherto, and insist-that no man
shall vote who cannot read his ballot.
He also favors the further restriction of
immigration, that no foreigner lie ad
mitted to this country who cannot give
evidence of ability to support himself
and family, if he bring a family with
him. Both these suggestions deserve
the support of everybody who thinka
our present form of government worth
maintaining.
Stranded Goose Hunters.
East Oregonian. Levi Ankeny, the
Walla ' Walla banker, enjoyed two days
of gunning last week at Switzler's Island
and left for home with thirty of the
fowls. Two other WallayWalla gentle
men, Rev. " Dr. Law and Mr. Ritz, the
nurseryman, have not been so fortunate.'
They were stranded on an uninhabited
island near Switzler's, being unable to
leave on account of the wind, which has
bedecked the Columbia with white-capa.
They put off in their boat Saturday, but
were compelled', to return to the island,
and at last accounts were still hunting
geese. ' ' . - '
Fighting the A antral Ian Ballot.
San Fbancisco, Nov. 24. Judge Law
ler last night granted a temporary' in
junction restricting the election com
missioners from the official canvass of
the vote cast in this city at the last elec
tion. The suit is brought by James
Welsh, who alleges that the- Australian
ballot law prevented .his enjoying the
secrecy ot the ballot as guaranteed by
the constitution, and that therefore the
law is unconstitutional. Welsh avers
that he is partially blind, and he could
not vole under the Australian law with
out assistance in making his ballot. A
few days before election Welsh attacked
the validity of the Australian law by
demanding of the registrar of voters and
secretary of state that he be . furnished
with the official ballot to prepare at
home. The request was refused and the
matter taken before the supreme court,
but owing to the shortness of time before
election the suit was dismissed without
prejudice, bv mutual consent. Welsh's
attorney eays the result of the national
election will not be affected by the suit,
but the legislative and municipal ticket
will be knocked out if the suit is decided
in his client's. favor".
. Arctic Explorers Coolness. '
- Philadelphia V: Noy. 24. The coolness
existing between Xieutenant Peary and
Professor Heilprin, 'leader of the Peary
relief expeditkm'has at last resulted in
an open rupture between the two scien
tists. The strained relations were made
public by Peary's action in securing the
influence of" the Academy of Natural
Science tp procure his three years' leave
of absence without informing Heilprin
of big, steps in the matter. He had al
most concluded' negotiations' through
General' Wistar, president of the acad
emy, with the navy, department, when
Heilprin became ffware of what was
going on. the rupture is the result of
Heilprin's assuming that he rescued the
Peary party from certain death. Peary
claims he could have made bis way back
to civilization without assistance. On
this second expedition Heilprin dis
tinctly aid : "I will not have a party
sent out to rescue him." - .-
Tbe Monetary Conference.
Brussels, Nov. 24. The statement
has obtained currency here that the
American delegates to the international
monetary conference are not prepared to
submit proposals to the conference when
it meets tomorrow.. On the contrary, it
is true the proposals have been definitely
formulated by the American delegates,
and that they will be laid before, the
conference tomorrow. There was some
delay in arranging proposal six, but this
was due to the fact that the American
delegates came from different states, and
had no opportunity of conferring upon a
final adjustment of the minor details
until they reached ' Europe. The pro
posals are in such a form aa will serve as
a basis for practical discussion. 1 Private
meetings of various sections of the con
ference are proceeding today-for . the
purpose of considering the information
and views that have been interchanged
during the last two days.
Sugar Cane Prospects.
Havana, Nov. 24. The-, sugar-cane
contracts made public this season were
at Guareirazs in the province of Matan
zas. They are on a basis of 5 to 5
arrobes of a centrifugal sugar to be de
livered at Matanzas for each 100 arrobes
of cane delivered at the side of the mill.
There is still a wide difference in -the
estimates of the coming sugar crop. , On
one hand the fine appearance-of th'e cane
at Remedioa gives rise to the belief that
the crop will exceed that of last 'season
by from 10 to 15 per cent, while on the
other it is asserted by some persons who
claim to be well posted that in the prov
ince of Matanzas there will be a decrease
of 15 per cent.
.Fittingly Stated.
Review. The difficulties now being
experienced bv theT transcontinental
railroads in the operation of their lines
through the Cascade mountains afford
additional, evidence of the erroneous
policy of hauling merchandise over those
mountains . only to haul it back again to
the interior. The severity of the grades,
the interruptions to travel,' and the
waste of energy all protest against the
present policy.
Highest of all in Leavening Power.- Latest U. S. Gov't Report.

After Defomlier Will Ignore all Other
Lines at Portland,. '.
MUST BE LOCAL TICKETS OK NONE
Will Issue no .More Through nor Will r
any be Received by Them.
'""' ' ' " ; .
IT IS SOT IX ANY SENSE A BOYCOTT
But It Means That no Farther Imposi
tions Wlll.be Tolerated by the
- S. P. R. Lines.
" Th'e Southern Pacific Railroad. com
pany has issued orders, announcing that
after . December 31st, neither one-way.
nor round-trip tickets will be sold, or
baggage checked through Portland to
points on the line of the Southern Pacific
in Oregon or California, via the North-
em, Canadian, or Union Pacific. The
Southern' will not honor these tickets
after January 1st, except snch as are
sold prior to that date, and will not ac
cept : any 'baggage for Portland under,
these checks. This order cannot be
construed to mean a boycott, as reported ,
but it is. intended to operate on single
and round-trip tickets, including those '
for return for California points through
Portland over the Northern and Cana
dian Pacific, also passage from Portland
or Tacoma, to San Francisco by steamer,
with return by rail. Commencing Jan
uary 1st, the Southern Pacific will exact -local
rates from Portland on any tickets
by way of the Union Pacific from Port
land to points on its lines in Oregon or
California, and on round-trip tickets re- '
turning from California through Port-t
land, over the Union Pacific, it will ex
act ita local rates to Portland. Another v
object may be to keep the Union, Can
adian and Xorthern out of the field for
California business. At present each of
these lines has officers in San FranciscoT
and is making an' effort to secure travel"
from that city, bringing-passengers tp '
Portland over the Southern and thence .
east over its own lines. This action of
tbe Southern is in line with that of the
Union Pacific in refusing tfc accept
coupon tickets issued , by other rOads,
and is an effort to secure the through
business for their, own line, instead of -giving
other roads ; the long haul from "
Portland eastr Canadian and . Northern
can only handle California business via
Portland by paying the local rate- over '
the Southern or on the -steamers of the "
Union Pacific. Whatever the oufwome
may be, the stand taken by Huntington .
adds interest to tbe already very much
complicated railroad situation. -
En Route to Turkey.
East-Oregonian. D. P. Thompson,
the Portland millionaire, was a passen
ger on Wednesdays east-bound train.
Mr. Thompson will grace the Sublime
Porte with additional sublimity by his
presence at Constantinople as minister
from the United Siates, and is now on
his way to the domainof the Turk. When
asked if he had any obligations to ex
press for the Thanksgiving Turkey al
loted him he vouchsafed no reply, evi
dently considering the question irrele
vant. - Minister Thompeon, was accom
panied as far as Pendleton by State
Senator-elect C. H. Woodruff, of Port
land, who spent the day in this city.
