McMinnville, Or., Jan. 3. The dan
gerous illness of s young man named
Pepe, living east of Amity, in this
county, brings to light a sad story. Dar
ing the week both his parents have
died.
The family were Italian Catholics, and
were known to neighbors as very quiet
and extremely reserved. .Their circom
stances were not of the best, bnt they
lived in reasonable comfort. From cur
rent reports it appears that about Satur
day or Sunday a neighbor saw the
younger Pope feebly waving a white
cloth, and on reaching the house found
him and bis parents prostrated, him
self on the floor, unable to reach a bed.
They were not able to go lor help nor
assist one another. By a will born of
desperation the aged mother had re
mained out of bed. When a doctor was
called he at once ordered her to lie down
At first she refused to do so, stating that
she feared if she did she would die, but
finally obeyed and was the first to die.
Friday of the same week the f ether died
and the son's life was almost despaired
of, though now he is said to be gradually

Bow to Prevent Pneumonia.
You are perhaps aware that pneu
monia always results from a cold or from
an attack of La Grippe. During the
epidemic of La Grippe a few years ago
when so many cases resulted in pneu
monia, it was observed that the attack
was never followed by that disease when
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy was used.
It counteracts any tendency of a cold or
La Grippa to result in that dangerous
disease. It is the best remedy in the
world for bad .colds and La Grippe.

Santiago, Jan. 4. Meetings were
held at all of the political- clubs last
night, and even the most conservative
people, those favoring the annexation
of Cuba to the United States, were as
tounded by the orders from Havana' for
the centralization of the customs money
there.
The past forty-eight hours have com
pletely altered the situation of affairs
here. The province had gradually . set
tled down and was contented with the
with the order of things preyailing, rec
ognizing the benefits conferred. Now
there is a complete change, and there is
no exaggeration in saying that the sit
uation is cntical.and that a spark would
set up a blaze that would plunge the
entire province into a state of insurrec
tion. It is generally admitted that if 1,000
men were suddenly discharged from the
public .works, such' an action would
probably cause a revolt which would be
hard to quell.
Major-General John R. Brooke, governor-general
of Cnba, is apparently ig
noring General Leonard Wood, in com
mand here, and is cabling direct to his
subordinates. He has ordered . the -collector
of customs to bank no money, and
the commanding general of the province
has ordered his officers to close several
minor offices, including that at Bayamo,
practically ehutting off the mail of the
regiments there.
Dr. Castillo will 'accompany General
Wood to Washington, representing Brit
ish. interests in Santiago, to lay these
matters before the president.
- Wood's work here is now thoroughly
appreciated by the Cubans. " -'

Foundered Off Tillamook Rock Only
One Man Drowned.
Colfax, Wash. Jan. 3. At about
noon today a fatal affray occurred be
tween W. G. Campbell, a well known
plumber, and James Hard wick, bar
keeper in Hagan's saloon. Campbell,
who was drunk, wanted -to pay for
drinks with bar checks, which Hard
wick refused to accept. A wordy alter
cation followed. Hardwick become very
angry, cursing Campbell, and finally
striking him a terrific blow on the bead
with a heavy beer bottle. Campbell
staggered back, then drew a revolver,
nd shot Hardwick through the heart.
As the latter was falling, Campbell shot
him in the back. Hardwick'a death was
almost instantaneous. Campbell is in
jail. He will be given a preliminary ex
amination tomorrow. It is reported
that a few minutes before the affray,
Campbell left the saloon and got his re
volver, saying he was going to practice.
Campbell was a married man, about
40 years old, and had lived in Colfax
many years. He had always been very
quiet and peaceable. Hardwick was
much yoonger, and had resided here less
than a year; He has a brother in busi
ness in Pendleton, Oregon. '
Campbell's head was badly cut by
Hardwick's blow.
No inquest was deemed necessary.
Astoria, Or., Jan. 3". The steam
schooner Protection, from Ssattle with
a cargo df coal for San Francisco, foun- .
dered and sank off Tillamook rock on
the evening of December 31. But one
man was lost, and be lost his life in an
attempt to lower a boat after it had been
determined to abandoned the vessel.

coal, including a heavy deckload. left .
Seattle Thursday, December 29th at 2 ,
o'clock. While the vessel was heavily
laden, she made fair time, and at five
o'clock on the morning of December 30, -was
off Cape Flattery. During that day -the
wind was light, bnt there was a
heavy westerly swell that seemed to
strain the veseel, but it was not until
the morning of the 31st, when the Pro
tection encountered the southeast gale
that had been predicted on ebore, that
ehe began to make more water than
usual. It was not' until late that after
noon that the necessity of taking to the
boats became evident, and at the time
it- was blowing a southeast gale. When
Second Assistant Engineer Ed Benson
finally left the engine room to turn off
the last cocks the water was up to his
chin. - . - '
In lowering one of the boats, First
Engineer Carver was knocked overboard
and sank almost immediately. Assis
tance was impossible.
The boats were lowered, and, under
instructions from Captain Erickion,
both stood by the Protection for a time,
until she was seen to take a deep star
board list and get deep in the water at
the stern, bnt ehe was not eeen to act
ually disappear. As near as can be
figured, this was about 30 miles off Tilla
mook rock. This estimate of the sur
vivors, however, is very uncertain.
The boats soon separated, and neither
knew the whereabouts of the other, and
it w'as a bitter night. New Year's morn
ing broke with their boats toss:ng in
the face of almost certain death. In '
the afternoon, 26 honrs after leaving the
vessel, the boat of Captain Erickson -sighted
a ship and headed toward it.
From the ship the boat was soon Bighted
and the occupants were picked up and
safely landed on. board.
