tion of the republican congressman,

earned all attention to be centered
in . the capital .location. Olyrnpia
continues; to , lead, but as Ellens
burg , .closely follows and iSortn
Yakima has received a very heavy
vote it is ' Probable that none of
these cities will receive a majority.
Nothing; definite can be said re

are counted, giving Wilson 538
and Griffiths 413; these same pre
cincts in 1888 gave Allen GOO ma
jority, when 35G0 votes were cast.
This will probably be materially
reduced, but the republicans are
more than ever confident of carry

and prohibition are beaten by 510

dred and eighty vote? were cast
for North Yakima as state capita'.

Tacoma, Oct. 2. The count so

ahead. If the rest of the counties
are in the tame ratio, not a single

An Editor's Ovor-CaotW:n.
Do-Rcville, N Y Banner
Many people make rni.st.ikes and
lose a lot by ncing too suspicion?, too
oautioiif. We remember the last
time we visited New York city with
which place nobody else in Doigoyille
is probably so familiar. ' A man came
up to us, as we stood on our hotel
steps after taking a noontime suaok
at Dehnouico'tf, and says he to us:
"The editor of the Backwoodsman's
Banner, I presume?'' We had the old
bunco game down fine, and, looking
the man squarely in the eyes, wc re
plied: "You presume too much, &ir.
We are not the editor." (This wat
BUti ue, but justifiable under the cir
cumstances.) "I beg your pardon,"
he said, touching his hat politely;
"I merely wished to tender you a
ticket to the dinner of the Press Club
this eveniDg." H felt hurt and go
did we- lie had been received with
unnecessary suspicion, and we had
missed n good dinner. Ye merely
mention this incident as a reminder
to those who arc always saying "Go
x ow!" that i not always wise to go
too slowly. We must risk something
if we would be trnly great .
Let ns nitre the readers of the II ke-
alp a litte timely advice. Hot
weather is coming and with it colic,
cholera morbus, dysentery and di
arrhoea. The only safe way to com
bat these diseases, is to keep some
reliable remedy at hand, and all who
Lave tried Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrbea Remedy will
admit that it. is the most prompt,
reliable and successful medicine
known for these complaints, It costs
but 25 or 50 cents, and may be the
means of favmg yoa or your family
much suffering if not life itself, be

A Bravo Drumaaor Boy and tho
Surgeon Who Sr4 Him.
it. I'aul Corr. riclnde'phia Press
A very romantic meeting be
tween twt old soldiers took place
in Mmneapo is a few days ago
during the National Convention of
Foresters. B. B. Levy of New
Yerk, wba was attending the con
vention, Iia2 been special; de
ignated ns hero by an act nf Con
gress. Wfcen the war broke out he
enlisted in tlit First New York
Yoluutrer us a drummer, bcio:;
only 10 years ol oge. His regiment
wis luiru pi cited on the l ( treat
frcm KicurioDU. under, McCle'laa,
and the boy drou'ptd " h'n drutri.
'.ok a gun from the hands of a
dead comrade and charged in the
front raB k. The color bearers wen-
shot down and the Stars and Stripes
mre for a moment trampled under
foot and in imminent danger ot
capture. But only lor a moment,
for Young Levy rushed back and,
lighting desperately, seized the
colors and oore them triumphantly
back to his retreating regiment.
An etc witness to this heroic act
was General Phil Kearney, and he
at once promoted Levy from drum
mer to color sergeant. When thn
time cf his regiment was out he re
enlisted in the Fortieth New York.
At the battle of the Wilderness
Levy was seriously wounded by a
compound fracture of the thigh,
and was lelt on the field tor dead.
A brave surgeon who stayed by his
fellow-comrades at the risk of his
life, tended Levy's wounds. Be
fore he could bo removed from the
field Levy was captured by Colonel
White's guerrillas, bat after several
weeks was recaptured by Northern
troops. His acts of gallantry were
reported to Congress, and by
special act he was decorated with a
cross in recognition of his services
and bravery in saviBg ti e colors at
Richmond. While in Minneapolis
he accidently overheard the name
of Dr. O. J. Evans, and, wondering
if it could be the 6ame gallant sur
geon who had saved his life on the
battlefield, called at his address.
Sure enough it was the same, and
for the first time in twenty-five
yeirs tbe two comrades met and
clasped hands with a feeling only
old soldieis can understand.
A TALl'ABLK TAINTING.
flow It Vv"a Stolen and Brought to
America.
G n'mer (Me.) Corr. New York Tribanc.
An interesting stcry is told by
the Daily News regarding the oil
r anting ''Cromwell Viewing the
Remains of K:ng Charles I,' that
A. Davenport now possesses. The
owner is convinced that be ha- the
original of the iii'tuie. About
1837, it is stated, the ship Orient,
Captain Bailey, ot Gardiner, Me.,
Ijiti-I at a dock in Havre, France,
! . i . -i T T : . j . .
unner tuai ter ior me oui'eu oraies.
when a man came on board and
shipped as a common sailor. tj o:i
atteiward a policemen t-snw t
Cjptaiu Btilcy and told him tmit a
painting nf threat valu. hid ii.hu
wrctscUed from the trame at its
place of deposit in England, -md
that they they had traced the thief
across the channel and O j board his
shin and asked permission: to search
the vessel. . A most thorough
search was ui'de, Captain 'Baiicy
assisting, but without avail. Front
tJieu until the seip left port she was
closely guarded by the autboritiei
day and Digl.it.
As the voyage was drawing to a
close, the new bailor confessed to
Captain Bidlev that the picture was
safely hidden on board the ship.
He asked for advice and assistance.
The captain : fused any assistance
and advised that the property be
returned to the owner. Failing ia
this, Captain Bailey bought the
picture for a few dollars and
brought it to bis home, with the
intention of restoring it and c.aim
ingthe reward offered. Bat the
ship was not taen to return !o Eu
rope, being chartered for a long
voyage in a different direction, and
the picture was left behind. In
those days communication with
England tequired as ' many weeks
as it does days now, and to wait
with Captain Bailey was not to be
thought of. Time sped oa, voyage
after voyage was made, and still
the picture hung agains the wall
in Caotain Bailey's parlor. Tuc
latter s death and the purchase of
the painting by Mr. Davenport
brought it once more into p emin
ence.
Look Aftor Weed.
A correspondent cf the Prairie
Farmer writes thatpaptr: "lam
engaged in pulling up cockle-burr
weeds, just at this time, and while
doing it I make this calculation:
The seed comes down a hollow from
an adjoining farm (I do not grow
them on my own farm;. There
will be a good day's work, wheu I
get through, worth about one dol
lar. Were they gn to sr.cd, and
bs gathered by forty sheep, there
wjuld be ciiouph buirsin the woo!,
after one man had spent two diys
in baud picking t!:e w,ol, to de
crc iso the value of il.is wuoi from
ten to fifteen cents ;er ll'.tce s:iy

loss by allowing the burrs to grow.
That is about tbe profit in growing
weeds of ail k'.nds. Some are not
so bad, but it will pay to keep all
wee Is from matuiing seeds. Sheep
are well worth one dollar per bead,
on any farm, as weed-extermina-ters,
if lor nothing else. Ail that
you cau get from sheep is clean
profit. Farmers, organize a com
bine agaiDst weeds.
CTTTIXG A IT AY THE BAKS.
ouio Very En'octivo Work Reins
Done by the Dredgers.
The Oregonian says that the
work ot dredging the bar at St.
Helens and Pouoftice bar is progressing-
very favorably. Captain
Carroll, who has charge of the
dreJge at Postoffice bar will be
through with the werk there sooner
than was expected. A few days
sinca this dredge in ten hours took
out 1900 cubic yards of sand, the
biggest day s work done so iar.
This is tbe same old city dredge
that some members of tbe council
wve trying tn niako -out was uo
sood and ought to be thrown away
to save the expense of a watchman.
captain uoyi, wuw jo lusuiug
the government scoopdredge at St.
Helens bar, will probably finish
there this week. The snag puller
baa been taken down there, and set
at work scraping the bottom and
by leveling off some hummocks has
increased the depth of tbe channel
a foot. Taken altogether the oat
look forja clear river is very bright.

There seems great diversity of
opinion as to the world's supply of
wheat: It has been stated that there
was a partial failure of wheat in Rus
sia and India, California has lately
shipped wheat to Australia, and
eastern United States ports to South
America. Australia and South
America harvest during our winter
and spring season. Their growing
crop is now well forward. But Aus
tralia and South America cut very
little figure ia the world's supply.
Beerbohm's "Corn Trade List"
shows a probable surplus of ti.OOO.C')
bushels in Australia, the Argentine
Republic and Chili. The list also
credits Russia with 32.C00,.' 0 bush
els surplus, and Indii with 24,0oW
C d0 bushels surplus.
The necessities of importing
countries ar placed at 250,000,COJ
bushels, and the total exportable sur
plus is placed at 244,OCD,f . bushels.
Hence there is little cause to believe
that there will be an excess iu the
world's supply of wheat.
As stated last week, the greater
pai t of our wheat crop is already in
the hiuds of millers. The spring
wheat crop, over and above that
wanted ;fcr h'.une ciins-umption, will
most likely go forward in the shape
of flour.
Wo l-.elieve that after buyers haye
sc-tired as mn;!i of t'nis season's crop
as possible, the prices will appreciate.
Lut autumn we predicted that wheat
would reach Si per bushei before
siio.i came. It reacbed a much
higher liguro eaiber, hut alter the
corner, droppjd, dowu to a dollar.
Tue tluctuaao'js siuo have b.en. asa
rule downward. M
The bottom seem) to have becu
reached. Wheat is getting firmer.
When the bulk is aain out of the
farmers' hands the pr ce will go up,
and we thing No. 2 and No. 1 milline
wheat will easily brin one dollar per
bushel. How soon, will probably de
pend upon tht imperative necessity
nf tho Northwestern fannerj to sell.
This necessity, over Urge area of
the ap.-in wheat region, is great.

. The Pioneer says that.it is an in
teresting sight to witness tbe work
out upon the jetty at tbe month of
the river. Tho matresses of pine
brush, fascines, are made under the
trestle by suspending poles from
tbe stringers with ropes and the
piling the bundles of pine boughs
upon the frame work thus made
until a thickness of five feet is made,
when the whole lot, at low tide is
lowered and secured to the bottom
bv a few rock until a (on or two
from the cars cm be dumped upon
it. The boiling sand around the
rocks which have been dumped
into tbe water, at noticed in a ride
over tbe trestle, illustrates the
utility of the work, and demon
strates how the sand is formed into
bars. The deepening process now
going on will make it possible for
a vessel drawing 30 feet of water
to enter with the utmost ease.

"This was sometime a paradox," as
Hamlet says. Since, however, tho
people of America and other ;ands
have been enabled to pit Hostetter's
J-tcmajh Bitters against that unseen
foe, malaria, it is no longer a paradox,
but an easv possibility. Whatever
malaria evolves its misty venom to
poison the air, and decaying unwhole
some vegetation impregnates the
v-.ter, ilieie, in the very stronghold
of miasma, is the auxiliary potent to
c" sarm the foe and assure efficient
