Poetland, July 21. Judge K. S. Stra
fcn euea suaaemy yesceraay morning
9:30 o'clock.
He had left home but a short time he
re apparently in tne Dear, possiDie
alth and spirits, and when the unex
cted news of his death first flashed
ong toe street, it seemed incredible to
lose who had bat a few minutes before
en his robust and rigorous form mov-
g with energetic step along the street.
For some time past Judge Strahan
Lid been affected with apoplectic symp-
ms, and more than once from a d au
reus attack of illness. Last summer
be ot these attacks came upon mm
ddenly, and it is probable that if his
tysician had not reached him with the
l eatest promptness, his life would then
lave ended. Again some two or three
Lnnths ago, while he was engaged in
ading a case in the criminal court, in
tie excitement of tbe argument, that
rrible apoplectic purple overspread his
ice, ana be was connnea to nis room
kr days afterward from the results.
Recently, however, his general health
fcemed to improve. True, he had been
ifFering from a slight bronchial disorder,
r which he bad been under treatment
y Dr. J. T. Walls. Saturday afternoon
e called at Dr. Walls' office and reported
tiat he was no longer suffering as he
ad been. As a safeguard, Dr. Walls
dvised him to take one more bottle of
be medicine he had been taking, and in
ccordance with that advice he had the
rescription refilled. Dr. Walls was
Impressed at the time by the judge's
eshy appearance, and suggested further
onversation, with a veiw to additional
treatment, but his patient pleaded a
usiness engagement and hastened away
rom tbe physician s office witb bis
ccustomed energy.
Saturday night he spent at his home,
t the corner of Fifteenth and East An-
eny streets, where he has for some time
esided with his son and daughter. All
uringthe evening he appeared unusual
ly buoyant and cheerful. In conversa-
lon with his daughter, he stated that he
pad not felt so well for a "long, long
ime," and that he was good for at least
0 or 12 years more of active life. So
ittle premonition had he of the near
pproach of deatn.
Tbe Defender Wins.
New York, July 21. Wind was so
ight this morning that chances for a race
oday between tbe Vigilant and Defender
eemed doubtful, but at the hour when
be race was announced to start two big
sloops were seen, when the fog lifted
nomentarily, side by side, on a star
board tack, off the Highlands of Nave-
ink, N. J., headlong for the Scotland
ightship. They were under all lower
hails and club topsails.
The start of the yacht race was off
Scotland lightship. The commodore
blaced the flag boat at 11 o'clock. The
hommittee's boat placed the signal "B,"
Which meant that the course would be 50
inailes. The Vigilant passed che line at
1 1:31:20. Within the first 12 minutes
the Defender had a slight disadvantage.
At 2:40 p. m. the two sloops were run-
jning up the coast about 2 miles offshore,
fthe Defender ahead of the Vigilant
about one mile.
A .149 p. m. the first yacht, the De
fender, finished and at 2:52 p. m. the
Vigilant finished, the Defender being
winner by about three minutes.
The victor was greeted wfth the usual

greeted in the same manner.
Altered Mi dm ana ere merit 0f a Defunct
Savings ; Bans:.
San Fbaxcisco, July 21. About 100
of the depositors of the defunct People's
Home Savings bank met last night and
voted their disapproval of General Shee
han's management of the wrecked bank,
and expressed a hope that some other
man would take the general's place.
Alva Watts' statement of expenses of the
conduct of the affairs of the bank from
the time it closed until January 15 last,
when other arrangements for carrying
on the business were made, was read
and the items discussed. One was for
$700 for a trip to San Diego, and another
was for $200 for a like jaunt to Madera.
A third item was for $150 for furniture
and carpets for an office. The deposi
tors hissed Mr. Watts' name and passed
a resolution to bring the statement to
the attention of the grand jury for inves
tigation. There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro
nounced it a local disease, and prescrib
ed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment, pro
nounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires constitu
tional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. It is taken inter
pally in doses from 10 drops to a tea
spoonful. It acts directly on the blood
mucous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any caee it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and tes
timonials. Address.

Thousands of; persons flounder along
for months, yes even years, suffering
from indigestion, bowel troubles and
liver disorders with their accompanying
disagreeable symptoms, because they
think they have to. If they would take
a short course of Dr. J. H. McLean's
Liver and Kidney Balm they would soon
get rid of the miserable feeling and that
overpowering sense of weariness and in
capacity for work, would give place to
one of health, vigor and cheerfulness.

Overwork, either physical or mental
will produce weakness and loss of en
ergy. Too many .business or family
cares, overwork in the harvest field, an
excess of woman's work and worry will
produce months of misery. To prevent
this, the exhausted system should be re
inforced immediately. Dr. J. H.
McLean's Strengthening Cordial and
Blood Purifier is an appropriate remedy.

Whitman College.
The summer announcement of Whit
man College, at Walla Walla, has just
been issued and gives an idea of the
works and aims of the school. The
prospects for the coming year are very
bright. A strong faculty consists of
eleven capable and well trained instruc
tors, all of them graduates from high in
stitutions of learning. Efforts are being
pushed energetically to complete the
Pearson's Endowment Fund of $200,000,
and many applications of students have
already been received. The college in
all its departments will open September
18th, witb the prospects of the largest
enrollment in its history. Special em
phasis will be laid in the work of the
musical depattment and on the instruc
tion in oratory and elocution, but thor
ough training will be given in every
branch of the curriculum.
Whitman College was founded in the
year 1859 by Rev. Cushing Eells, the
friend and co-laborer with Marcus Whit
man. Father Eells came to Washington
in 1838. Driven from the country by
the Indian uprising which followed the
Whitman massacre, Mr. Eells returned
to the Willamette valley, until return
might be safe. Returning in 1859 be
visited Waiilatpu, the mined mission
station of Dr. Whitman, where in a
lonely grave were gathered the victims
of Indian butchery. As be stood by the
grave and meditated upon the heroic
character of Dr. Whitman, and the
myetery of his untimely fate, he conse
crated himself then and there to estab
lish a worthy memorial. He resolved on
a echool for both sexes which ' should
bear the name of Whitman and perpet
uate his work. The idea was the germ
of Whitman College. In 1S83 the
courses of study were broadened and a
new charter granted under the name of
Whitman College.
At the present time courses of study
are offered in the classical, literary and
scientific departments ot tbe college.
The customary degrees are given. The
conservatory of music is well equipped
with every acuity for thorough instruc
tion. The college is well equipped
with buildings and boarding halls where
s.tudents may live at low rates. Whit
man College is preminently a child of
the West. Tbe reasons for the school
establishment is found in the desire to
save and make great the north west terri
tory and the life of the college is inbred
with devotion to its patriotic founders
and love for the land they did so much
towards saving. Students who think of
attending, should write President Pen
rose, at Walla Walla, and receive full
information on all desiredsubjects.
The Discovery Saved Bis Life.
Mr. G. Caillouette, druggist, Beavers-
ville, 111., says : "To Dr. King's New
Discovery I owe my life. Was taken
with La Grippe and tried all the physi
cians for miles about, but of no avail,
and was given up and told I could not
live. Having Dr. King's New Discovery
in my store, I sent for a bottle and be
gan its use, and from the first dose be
gan to get better, and after using three
bottles was up and at out again. It is
worth its weight in gold. We won't
keep store or house without it." Get a
