c ) THE DALLES, OREGON. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1898 NO 178 VOL. XI COLLISION OF . TWO COLUMBIA RIVER BOATS The 0. E. & N. Steamer G. W. Shayer Snnk. PASSENGERS WERE ALL SAVED The Accident Occurred at, 2:15 This Morning Off Deer Island, Five Miles This Side of Kalama The Shaver Was Struck in the Middle and Sunk in Short Time. Portland, Oct. 18. At about 2:15 this morning the O. R. & N. side-wheel steamer T. J. Potter, bound from Port- tend to Astoria.collided with the Shaver Transportation Co.'s stea.ner G. W, Shaver, en route to Portland from Klats kanie. In lees than eight minutes the Shaver went down in about twelve feet of water. Beyond a few scratches the - Potter sustained no damage. . The accident occurred in the Columbia river about mid stream, directly off Deer island, five miles this side of Kalama. Th night was dark and a heavy fog was prevailing. Notwithstanding the fact that the ill fated steamer had about twenty-five passengers on board, many ot whom were women and children, no lives were lost. The fact that most of them were asleep in their staterooms and bunks at the time of the accident makes their es cape almost miraculous. Some got out almoBt entirely divested of clothing. The Shaver was struck on her port side, just forward of her boiler, the sharp bow of the Potter almost cutting her in twain. When the steamer parted ' the water rushed into the hold of the Shaver in tremendous volume, and she began settling immediately. The shock awoke most of the pas sengers, and they" came running from their state rooms to ascertain the troub le. When they realized what had hap' ' pened everybody was for himself Women and children screamed for help and general commotion prevailed. Capt J. W. Shaver, assisted by Lis crew,, soon had order restored and the work of res cuing the passengers wos immediataly begun. By this time the Potter had come alongside. Gangplanks were laid . between the two steamers and in a re markably short space saved. time all were Fortunately the coliaion did not occur in the main channel, but a distance to ward the Oregon shore, where the water averages from twelve to fourteen feet deep. ' ' The Shaver lies with her stern sub' merged almost to the top of the wheel- house, but because of a lot of lumber in the forecastle her bow is partly above the surface. The Shaver's passengers were sub 6equently transferred from the Potter to the Telephone, which arrived in Port land this morning. The Potter, instead of leaving at 8 o'clock, her schedule time, was held un til 12 o'clock for the accommodation of a number of Astoria excursionists. When she pulled out her passenger list nam bered about fifty. She was in command of Capt. Joe Turner, who is regarded as one of the most careful and experienced navigators of this port. The fact that over two hours was con sumed in making the run to where the cohesion occurred shows that the steam er must have been jogging along at slow rate, as there are but few landings to delay the trip between Portland and that place.

Any honeet physician will tell you that there is but one way to get increas- flesb ; all the patent medicines and cod liver oils to the contrary notwith standing. Nature has but one way to increase esh, sliength and vigor, mind and body, and that is through the etomach by holesome food, well digested. There is no reason or common sense in other methods whatever. People are thin, run down, nervous, pale, and shaky in their nerves simply because their stomachs are weak. They may not think they have dys pepsia, but the tact remains mat tney do not eat enough food, or what they eat is not quickly and properly digested, as it should be. Dr. Harlandson says tbe reason is be- cauee the stomach lacks certain digestive acids and peptones, and deficient eecre- ion of gastric juice. ( . Nature's remedy in such cases is to supply what the weak stomach lacks. There are several good preparations which will do this, but nono so Teally as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which are designed especially - for all stomach troubles, and which cure all digestive weakness on the common sense plan of furnishing the digestive principles which the stomach lacks. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give per fect digestion. First effect is to increase the appetite, and increased vigor, added flesh, pure blood and strength of nerve and muscle is the perfectly natural re sult. ' Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the eafest tonic known and will cure any form of stomach trouble except cancer of the stomach.

A WINTER STORM RAGED Wind and Snow Play Havoc in the East -Telegraph Wires Down in Ev ery Direction. ' Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 29. The ear liest winter storm in the Southwest in twenty-five years, and the worst storm on record, almost completely shut Kansas City off today from were com munications with the South, the West and tbe North. An opening on the east alone kept the city from being totally isolated. It has been raining for the past twen ty-four hours, Shortly after midnight last night the rain turned to snow, and the temperature dropped perceptibly. Steadily since then a heavy, wet enow, driven by a strong north wind, at points reaching the velocity of a gale, has been falling. Hundreds of telegraph poles out in the open have either been blown down by the strong wind or broken by the weight of the snow-covered wires. Railway traffic, while more or less hampered, has not been badly inter rupted as far as can be learned. A Clever Trick: It certainly looks like it, but there is really no trick about it. Anybody can try it who has lame back and weak kid neys, malaria or nervous trouoiea. we mean he can cure himself right away by taking Electric Bitters. This taedicine tones np the . whole By stem, acts as a stimulant to the Liver and Kidneys, is a blood purifier and nerve tonic.

FURTHER DELAY WILL BE RESENTED Intimation of thevRetention of the Phil ippine Islands by the United States is Made for the First Time. London, Oct. 17. A dispatch to the London News Agency from Paris says : "Today (.Monday) the conference reached a crisis for the first time. Judge Day presented the demands of the Amer ican commission in threatening words He said that delay was the only possible object obtainable by the persistent ef forts of tbe Spanieh commissioners to saddle the United States with the Cu ban debt, and would be tolerated no longer, as the United States would neither assume nor guarantee any part of the debt. ''The Spaniards replied that this placed Spain in a position of repudiat ing or of reducing the face value of the Cuban bonds from 50 to 60 per cent, paying only naif the stipulated interest on the reduced value. Before they would adopt either alternative they would Bur render to the United States the entire Philippines. "Judge Day responded that the sur render of the Philippines would proba bly be demanded, irrespective of the Cu ban or any other debt. 'This, to the Spaniards, the first inti mation of the intentions of the United States "as to the Philippines, resulted in a whispered conference, followed, oy a request for an adjournment in order to communicate with Madrid. Judge Day said that President McKinlev had in structed him to demand the entire sur render of Porto Rico tomorrow, and the delivery of every town to the United States officers before midnight, together with the evacuation of Havana on or be fore November 1, when tbe , United States would be at the gates of the city ready to take possession. . "There was no alternative offered in the case of either of these demands, the session consequently was very brief." It's Human Nature. This readiness to accept the wonderful and miraculous in preference to com monplace truth. A plausible and glib- tongued doctor can go from town to town curing, or trying to cure, people, and have a great influx ; of shekels wh every community in which the so-called doctor goes is supplied with quiet learned practitionors, who have forgotten more than thefakir ever learned, and they can give you the best treatment within the reach of human knowledge. While your home doctors carry you from year to year, get up at all times of the night and are your servants during the diy, and you pay them when you are well or able, the fakir gets the caBh, and is gone forever.
