Smith - At Eugene, Or., March 1. Clande Bran ton, the condemned murderer, made an unsuccessful attempt to escape jail today. Sheriff Withes, as is bis usual custom, went -to the jail about 3 o.clock this morning to relieve Mr. Pratt, the death watch, who secures the breakfast for the prisoners. He opened the door of Bran ton's cell and let him out into the corri dor between the rows of eteel cells, to exercise and wash. While sitting in a chair reading his morning mail the sheriff was suddenly ordered to "throw np your hands." Looking up he saw Branton standing a little in the dark and holding in his hard -what resembled a navy six-shooter. The sheriff was amazed, and thought possibly Every living thing, plant or animal, contains within itself the germa of cer tain dscay and death. In the human body these germs of death (called by -scientists Ptomaines), are usually the result of imperfect diges tion of food ; the result of indigestion or dyspepsia. The 'BtomactT, from abuse, weakens, does not promptly and thoroughly digest the food. Tbe result is a heavy, sodden mass which ferments (tbe first process of decay) poisoning the blood, making it thin, weak and lacking in red corpuscles ; poisoning the brain caueing headaches, pain in the eyes. Bad ' digestion weakens the heart, causing palpitation and finally bringing on disease of this very important organ. Poor digestion poisons - the" kidneys, causing brigbt's disease and diabetes. And this is so because every organ, every nerve depends upon tbe stomach alone for nourishment and renewal, and weak digestion shows itself not only in loss of appetite and flesh, but in weak nerves and muddy complexion. Tbe great English scientist, Huxley, said tbe best start in 'life is a sound stomach. Weak stomachs fail to digest food "properly, because they lack the proper quantity of digestive acids (lactic and hydrochloric; and peptogenic pro ducts; the most sensible remedy in all cases of indigestion, is to take after each meal one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia. Tablets, because they supply in a pleas ant, harmless, form all the elements that weak stomachs lack. ' . ' Tbe regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will cure any form ot trouble, except cancer of the stomach. " They increase flesh, insure pure blood strong nerves, bright eye and clear com plexion, because all these result only ' from wholesome food well digested. Nearly all druggists sell Stnart'e Dys pepsia Tablets at ou cents lull sized package or by mail, by enclosing price to Stuart Co., Marshall. Mich. but ask your druggist first. A little book on' stomach diseases nailed free." Address Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich. Didn't Pay for the Cattle. Arlington, Or., March 1. A few of our cattlemen were treated to an unpleas ant surprise last week by a couple of pro fessional cattlebuyers, who failed to fur nish the money to pay for tbe cattle they bought. , A draft was given on Portland, but came back unpaid. The purchasers were located at Portland and brought to this city, where they were given a pre- iminary trial. Evidently the court be- lived the preponderance of evidence to be against tbe buyers, whe were held for appearance in the circuit court. Freas Saunders has purchased the wood business of J.. T.' Reynolds in this city. Those desiring good .wood will find him by ringing np 'phone number 12. - New York; Macch 2. A dispatch to the Herald from Manila says: .The for mer Spanish gunboat La Guna de Bayo steamed up the river opposite Macati this morning and opened fire on the in surgents on the opposite side from General Wheaton'a -brigade. She fired her four Gatiing guns, two Nordenfeldts and one one-pounder. At first the insurgents replied with rifle fire, but they, could not stand be fore tbe hail frqm"the Gatlings. The engagement lasted three-quarters of an hour, and then the insurgents scattered but as coon as the gunboat withdrew, the insurgents returned and again opened a slow and annoying fire across the. river, Quiet Along the Lines.

Tracy Inman Killed: Pendleton, Or., . March 1 1. Private advices from Manila, received today, are to the effect that Tracy Inman, of thie city, a member of company D.

Mrs. Xaura Browning, mother of four children, blew her brains out at Montavilla today, after taking, laudanum herself and forcing three of ber children to drink'the drug. There are hopes for two of the little girls, but the- two-year-old baby will probably die. Although there is no evidence that the woman-had" been of unsound mind, the theory of insanity is : the- only one which will account -or the crime. Mrs. Browning was alone with her four chil dren. She asked, them to take a dose of laudanum, callinjg it tea. Air the chil dren drank the laudanum except a nine-year-old boy. The' family was in poor circumstances, and it is said poverty drove the mother insane. v - . . Chronicle Publishing Co. The...
