Brooks of this city has been appointed a member of the world's congress auxiliary of the Columbian ex 7 position, to take -part-in -the depart - ment of science and philosophy which includes the topics of meteorology and Indian ethnology. Hon. A. J. Dnfur, of Dufur, has also been likewise made a member, assigned, to the department of agriculture. Senator Steiwer's bill for the protec- tion of etockraisers provides " that . the branded hide must be shown ' with . slaughtered animals offered for sale to butchers, and the butcher must keep a record of the brands,' not only of such purchases, but also of the animals by him slaughtered. There . are penalties of imprisonment provided for trading unbranded cattle, killing animals of un known ownership, and mutilating arti ficial brands. The senator also has a bill prescribing a system of recording ' brands with county clerks. i PEASE & Mr. S. R. Husbands of Mosier, is in the city. R. R. Byran prepared for a trip to Antelope today, but reconsidered the move and didn't go. ' We are pleased to note that Mr. Ed win Mays who was prevented by illness from returning to college Saturday is better today. A gang of counterfeiters of the most dangerous class, were captured in San Fraucisco Saturday night by N. R. Har- sis, secret service agent of the govern ment. Senator Steiwer introduced a joint resolution urging congress to make some effort to extend the time for making final proof in all cases under the rail way forfeiture act. It passed both branches of the assembly on the 10th, and is now in Washington, perhaps. Henry Villard says he will not be a member of. Mr. Cleveland's ; cabinet: that . his business interests precluded that. Now, it is to be hoped the next time he goes to Washington and talks with Vilas or any other man, that he will not be accused of lying, by some scoop reporter. . Get your old locks but and have them ready for inspection. ' A cotemporary says one of the special committees : To visit jetties at mouth of Columbia and locks at The Dalles is representatives Durham, Nichols, Elmore, and senators Cross and Veatch. Any kind of a lock will do for The Dalles inspection .except it be an auburn. The hand of the U. P. R. Co., appears in the movement for the proposed county of Hood River. Last week the Glacier gave the snap dead away. In a local item the visit of Zera Snow, U. P. R. attorney, and Mr. McCoy of Omaha, ia noted; and in another column - the paper speaks of a capitalist, "there yes terday" anxious to put up- $25,000 for eal estate, "providing that the county was divided." There is the least reason in the project for Hood River county of any yet proposed. The people there are within an hour of the -county seat by railway at any time', and can leave home after the mid-day meal, returning borne for their tea, at the mere cost of travel They propose to take out of 1 the county with them $300,000 worth of railway property, leaving to take its place an additional 5-mills tax on all property Then there is no justice in the boundary nes proposed, coming within seven iles of The Dalles. Why. not go the dther way, within Seven miles of Port- fanar .; , According to the great daily in the big city the "scrub-press" of .Oregon should rhave nothing to say about the jute-mill project.' When .that great oracle of monopoly speaks, . however, ttieri the world must smile an audible acceptance to its wise . sayings : such,' for instance as this : ?Jf the state would erect large stockade and put inside of it Bev eral hundred tons of gravel, and then employ the convicts every working day in the year in wheeling this -gravel first to one side 'of the enclosure and then the other, the penitentiary problem would be solved with, less cost to the state than if an attempt were made to erect and op erate jute bagmills." If that paragraph silly as it is, does not prove the Orego- nian to stand in with the convict abor contract monopoly, what else does show? Aw were staggered to read such a remark toed bi won sohias 'e is. Sooa seein' as 'ow 'e is so hawful smart. mebbe' he'll happen bring in a bill to remedy th' state o' things ; nnbbutthese chaps wod sooner gas abeawt wod they're beawn to do nor ged id done. which ia th' custom o thad profession MAYS. The Walla Walla Statesman recalls the fact that in 1861 snow fell to the depth of three feet all over that valley, remaining on for three months. Those were the days when cattle were expected to rustle their own living on the range, and no preparation was ever made for. a hard winter. The consequence was that fully three-fourths of the cattle in the valley died, being unable to reach the bunch grass through the deep snow. Oregon sympathizes with Senator Mitchell in the death of his son-in-law, Wm. R. Handy, in Washington, D. C. His illness was quick consumption, and his death removes one of the most pop ular young, men of the capital. Mr. Handy leaves a beautiful wife and two lovely children. His life has been des paired of for some time, and the efforts of the best physicians in New- York, and Washington were unavailing. The widow as well as the senator, and Hi ram Mitchell, who is now in. Portland, will receive the sympathy, in . their . be reavement, of a large number of friends, both in Oregon and Washington. ; In Umatilla on - Saturday a young white fellow attempted to steal a pair of gloves from an Indian, and the incident came near causing an outbreak among the 300 Columbia river Indians - camp ed near there. The Indian was. peddl ing squaw-made gloves and while dis playing his goods to a crowd of , young men, one slipped a pair into his pocket. This enraged the Indian, and after mak ing repeated demands for the return - of the property,, he went away. - He pre sently returned with a dozen more fight' ing mad. They marched up and down the street, threatening to bring all the Indi ans over and wipe out the town, unless the gloves were returned. For a short time it looked as if there would be trou ble, as their savage blood was at a fever heat. -They finally located the young man, and scared him into giving over the gloves, and then went awav, appar ently satisfied. j. r .., I A Terrible Accident. The'Sunday wood train out of Port land on the narrow guage was derailed by a fallen tree across the track yester day, and sixteen men were badly in' jured.. The train ran off a trestle on both sides, after striking the tree. So great was the impetus with which the locomotive struck that it smashed some of the ties together over on one side the seven flat cars attached following, and the caboose on the other side, mak ing a complete revolution, and landing right side up with . such force that it was burst completely to pieces. The passengers were thrown from one side to the other of the car as it rolled over, crashing against each side in turn and landing in a heap on the bottom The locomotive- was badly smashed and went about half-way out of sight in the mud.' The brakes having been applied at the rear of the train, the seventeen flat cars behind the caboose remained on the track. - Miller's fishery bill will probably be come a law, and if a permanent ladder is blasted out of the rocks at Oregon city, will be the mears of doing very much good. To secure the best results there should be a clause in the act prohibiting wholesale slaughter of the salmon after they have passed over the falls. The upper Willamette, under such con ditions would then become the natural home of the roval chinook. Cordray opens tonight with the new melodrama, "Blow for Blow." It has an intricate and well-constructed plot, abounding in interesting situations and thrilling climaxes. There is also a fine vein of comedy running through it. .

Daring Burglary. Shortly after dusk Saturday evening, as one of our citizens was eitting in his office closing his day's work, the door was suddenly opened, and confronted by two hard looking characters he was ordered to turn over his valuables, and before he could move or even call for assistance, a pair of arms seized him round the neck and held him in a cling ing embrace while her accomplice" rifled his pockets. They .fortunately (for themselves missed the pocket which contained his purse, fearing,' perhaps, that it might contain a pistol ; but they secured his watch and chain. . The par ties are known, and if the articles taken are returned no questions will be asked. The citizen does not object so much to embraces : but when they result in a loss of valuables, with no return but a mitten, which waa inadvertently left behind, he thinks he should remon strate.

Their guarantee is not indefi nite and relative, but definite and abso lute if the medicine doesn't help your, money is "on call." Suppose every sick man and every feeble woman tried these medicines and found ' them worthless, who would be the loser, you or they?
