COXSPIRIXG TO LAND CHINESE
That Is the Charge Some of the Ac
cused Prominent In Political
Circle. '
AsToniA, Or., May 21. A seneation
was created here today by the announce
ment from Portland of the indictment
of thirteen Astorians on charges of con
spiring to land Chinese. Among the
accused are many Republicans, promi
nent in political circles, and the affair
has caused consternation in the party.
Daring the last three years there have
been almost 400 Chinese landed in this
city, as many as 100 having been landed
in one week. The latter consignment
was made at' the time the steamship
Islander visited this port. There are
here about twenty-four Chinese firms,
some of which, according to the recent
importations, have as many as eighty
members. During the past year it has
been generally believed that much rot
tenness existed in the Chinese importa
tion business, and today's news was not
altogether unexpected.
P. S. Chappelle, the treasury agent,
whose investigations have culminated
in the arrests, says he has sufficient
evidence to secure the conviction of all
those arested. It is understood that
this evidence consists in part of the
testimony of accomplices, both white
and Chinese, who have been promised
immunity from punishment in consider
ation of their services in testifying for
the prosecution.
TESLA'S GREAT INVENTION.
Important IMscovery In the Art of
Electric Lighting.
New York, May 21. Nicola Tesla has
solved the problem which he set himself
many years ago, and which may revolu
tionize the system of electric lighting.
It is, electrical experts say, the' nearest
to the perfect adaptation of the great
force to the uses of man.
In Mr. Teela'a laboratory is a bulb not
more than three inches in length, which,
when the current is turned into it. be
comes a ball of light, and the heat is al
most imperceptible. With it, a large
room is so lighted that it is possible to
read in any corner. Yet this is done
without films and without the attach
ments necessary in existing lights. The
rays are so strong that the sharpest
' photographs may be taken by them. No
dynamo is required to produce the cur
rent. The bulb is attached to a wire
connected with the street current, and
there, is no danger of a harmful shock in
its use.
Stories have come from Mr. Teela's
laboratory that be was experimenting in
light of this sort. Rumors of success
and failure have followed each other,
and his friends were inclined to doubt
that he would succeed. - Friends who
recently visited Mr. Tesla saw him
photograph by meana of the light. The
exposure was but two eeconda, in the
light of a single vacuum tube or bulb,
without electrodes, and having a volume
of about 90 cubic . inches. The' light
given was appromimately 250-candle
. power. The photograph waa aa sharp in
outlines aa though it were taken in the
fall sunlight.
Mr. Tesla baa recently obtained many
photographs in his Btudy of Roentgen
rays. He has photographed the heart
of one of his assistants so accurately as
to note its expansions and its contrac
tions, and he has also been able to locate
defects in the lungs of several persons,
the presence of tuberculosis being evi-

A. MINING HORROR.
Eight Men Dttimbed
Alive by
Cave-In.
: Ikon wood, Micb., May ' 21. Eight
men were buried in a cave-in at the
Ashland mine this morning. Large
crews of men are drifting toward the im
prisoned men in the hope of reecuing
them. ' .
The buried men are : Ed. Opie, Paul
Nichols, Peter Moran, Ed. Vanslcus,
Beckman, John H. Helman, John Col
lins, Peter Gura and an unknown.
The men were working at drifting on
the third level, 300 feet from the surface,
when the cave-in occurred. Captain
Thomas Williams rushed to the scene.
At that time no great amount of ground
had fallen and Williams was able to
communicate with the imprisoned men.
They were all unharmed and said that
with" a rope they could be rescued.
Captain Williams went for help, but be
fore he returned another huge piece of
ground fell and it was impossible to
reach the men. It is still possible to
communicate with tbem, however, by
signals, and it is known at least some of
them are alive. .
Blakeley & Houghton desire us to pub
lish the following extract from a letter
of Chas. M. Gutfeld of Reedley, Fresno
county, Calif., as they handle the rem
edy referred to and want their customers
to know what a eplended medicine it is:
"It is with pleasure 1 tell you that by
one day's use of Chamberlain's Cough
remedy I was relieved of a very bad
cold. My bead was completely stopped
up and I could not sleep at night. . I can
recommend this remedy." A cold nearly
always starts in the head and afterwards
extends to the throat and lungs. By
using this remedy freely as soon as the
cold has been contracted it will cure the
cold at once and prevent it from extend
ing to the lungs.
Tbroueh trains on the O. R. & N will
run via Umatilla, Walla Walla and Pen
dleton. Through sleepers, first and sec
ond class will run in connection with the
Union Prcific, the eame as heretofore.
A through first-class sleeper from Port
land to Spokane, connecting with the
first-class sleeper to St. Paul and a
through tourist sleeper from Portland to
St. Paul, will be run in connection with
the Great Northern railway.

A great many people are influenced by
what others do, and that is one of the
reasons why so many take Simmons

greatly from Chills and Fever and the
more quinine I took the worse I felt. I
was told of Simmons Liver' Regulator,
by a friend in Arkansas, and I didn't
need to take much of it nntil I waa en
