DeHTlr'1 Aldermen Guarded
by Police.
San Francisco, Jane 28. It is an
nounced at headqaaters that Secre
tary Lamont accompanied by Quartermaster-General
Batchelder and Major G.
W. Davit, an attache of Secretary La
ment's office, will reach Portland the
last of this week. There the secretary
of war will be mat by Senator Dolph, who
succeeded in securing the passage of a
bill in the last season of congress estab
lishing a large army post on Paget sound.
The secretary will visit and inepect all
propoeed sites fur the purpose of deter
mining which shall be finally agreed up
on by himself and
the com mission des
ignated by con
gress. For a long time
the war department
has been consider
ing the advisability
of abandoning Fort
Walla Walla and
concentrating the
the troops at Vancouver barracks, where
the unoccupied buildings formerly occu
pied by the department of the Columbia
fford ample accommodation for the
troops. .
Secretary Lamont will inspect Fort
'Can by, where important defense works
are nnder construction. : No representa
tive of the war department has inspect
ed these works, and the secretary of war
desires to familiarize himself with .them
before the subject of their acceptance
comes before him officially.
On completing his inspection at Fort
Canby, the secretary will return to Port
land, n route to San Francisco. His
visit here will, to all intents and pur
poses, cover the same ground as that re
cently made by General SchoSeld.
His Last Battle.
Bubnos Ayers, June 28. From one
of the rebels who escaped capture
by govermeut troops after the insur
gents defeat near Santa Ana, BioGranda
,' do Sul, Brazil, details of the last battle
in which Admiral Da Gama took part
and of his suicide, have been secured.
The admiral, at the head of a force of
400 sailors, was engaged by a brigade of
goverment Boldiers numbering 1200
The battle lasted five hours, and at least
S00 men were killed or wounded. , Some
of the insurgents advised Da Gama to
retreat, but he refused and they aband
oned them. With a handful of men the
admiral repulsed five charges of the gov
erment cavalry, but the straggle was
useless, and, seeing that all was lost, Da
Gama ordered a retreat and cut his own
throat. Da Gama't body was taken to
Santa Ana by the goverment troops and
there horribly mutilated. The throats of
many of captured rebels were cut by the
victorious soldiers.
. Trouble In Denver.
Denver. June 28. Almost the entire
police force was employed last night in
guarding the houses of eight alderman,
who feared violence from their constitu
ents. An ordinance granting a reduction
of 15 per cent on the schedule of water
rates now in torce passed the alderman
by a vote of 8 to 6, and this aroused the
anger of the people, who attended the
council meeting in force, The measure
bas a clause which makes the rates fixed
a burden on the people for 15 years,
Besides, it is claimed, the redaction is
not half what the public is entitled to
under the company's contract, which
Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report
calls for a redaction this year to the aver
age rates charged in Chicago, St. Louis
and Cincinnati. Although much harsh
talk is heard, no overt acts against the
aldermen have yet been committed.
Insurgent Iiese Heavily.
Havana, June 28 News received at
Puerto Principle from the insurgents
camp south of that place shows that the
insurgents acknowledge a loss of 19 men

prised an insurgents band, commanded

one dead and four seriously wounded.
The constitution that bas been broken
down or weakened by long standing dis
orders in the liver and kidneys, is ill
fitted to withstand the encroachment of
disease. Such a person takes cold easily,
cannot stand fatigue, and in cases of epi
demics, is the first to fall a victim. ' The
proper coarse is to remove the cause of
weakness by treating the liver and kid
neys. Dr. J. Jtl. Mclyean.s .Liver and
Kidney Balm will reach the seat ' of
trouble and restore the diseased organs
to healthy functional activity. Increased
nourishment of the body will follow and
the patient will rapidly regain health
and strength.' Price $1.00 per bottle.

the production netted the com pany
about $15 a ton, and the advance will net

Very bad policy to neglect symptoms
of trouble in the kidneys. If allowed to
develop they cause much suffering and
sorrow. Bright's Disease, Diabetes and
Dropsy owe their great prevalence and
fatality to neglect of the first warning
symptom. . Dr. J. H. McLean's Liver
and Kidney Balm is a certain cure for
any disease or weakness of the 'kidneys.
A trial will convince you of its great
potency. Price $1.00 per bottle. For

CONCERNING PIANOS.
Kimball's Methods a Menace te the
' Kntlre Trade.
Chicago Musical News.
The following advertisement has been
given a prominent position in the daily
papers of Washington, D. C, and . has
been printed in the Chicago Musical
News and the American Hebrew News,
of Portland. We desire to call the atten
tion of the public to it.
The unfairness of the assertions it con
tains needs . no emphasizing, for they
will appear at once to the sense of right
inherent in every legitimate dealer in
pianos all over the country :
Next Tuesday will be a special bar
gain day on pianos at our. store. We
have found some grand bargains in new
Upright Pianos (not the celebrated Kim
ball pianos), and propose to give the
public a chance to secure new pianos
next Tuesday at manufacturers' whole
sale prices.
The prices Tuesday next for these new
elegant Upright pianos will be only $149
and $159 each. Part time given if de
sired. These pianos will be on exhibit
at our store all day Monday, but no Bales
will be made from this lot until Tuesday,
and will continue that day only.
W. W. Kimball, Co.,
Metzerott Building, Cor. 12th and F. Sts.
The Kimball Company may regard
such methods as fair and honorable, but
they are open to the severest criticism in
attempting to destroy the piano trade 4n
Washington after many years of "honor
able work to promote it.
The unfairness of the card lies in the
assertion that the pianos which -are to
be sold at sacrificial prices are not made !
by the Kimball company. , Therein is
the poison.
This whole scheme is perpetrated to
give the Kimball pianos ' a position to
which their merits do not entitle them.
Although the Kimball advertisement de
clares theee are not Kimball pianos
which are to be slaughtered it does not
enhance the value of their own- instru
ments. Those who are familiar with, the Kim
ball pianos know perfectly well that the
makers can afford to sell them at just
such ruinous prices as are quoted for
other instruments in their possession at
Washington. .. i
What is there in the Kimball piano to
justify this step? Nothing.
The Kimball company make one of the
cheapest pianos in the United States. . ;
And after the Kimball piano is made
ready for the market it is not then worth
a place above a low rank.
When you come to think of it, can you
name any genuine, firstclait houee that is
telling the Kimball pianos?
The Kimball managers may consider
they have made a brilliant stroke, but
they are merely using gigantic power to
foist a cheap make on 'be market.
The question is also one of a broader
conception! than mere local purview.
Rach advertisements as these cat at the
root of the piano industry for they mis
lead private buyers.
We shall not let this subject stop here.
It is fraught with grave danger to the
entire trade, and, although the Kimball
company is composed of schrewd schem
ers, they may find they have far over-.
stepped the bounds of legitimate busi
ness dealing.
