CONSUMPTION THE MALADY, High Living It Too Muob. for the Hoble R, 1 Mea Somo Notorious Oregon Chlefi. -S-lkm, Aug. 27. Henry Jack son, an educated Titt River In dian, from the Klamath agency, is in Salem attending the M. E. conference. He said a few years won 1 1 find but few scattering numbers ol his race left. On the agency there are not over 900 Indians, and with them consump tion is making terrible inroads. He says the different foods, cloth ing, etc., attendant upon civiliza tion ate too much for the Indian ; he can't eland it. Of the once powerful Modoc tribe only twenty are left and the same number of Snakes. The balance attheageucy are Klamaths. "Sconchin,"' the last chief of the Modocs and the leader in the Modoc wars, is still living. He is over one hundred years old and quite weak. He is blind as a bat. "Choctaw" the last chL-f of the Snakes died only a few weeks ago. He was very old nui stone blind. "Allen David," once the powerful chief of the Khtinaths. is alive yet and quite old. He is also blind. Jackson says both the old and young Indians are dying oif very rapidly, and a few j ears will find nearly" all of theai in their graves iw the present rate of dying.

Tb Crop I Nearly Fallura In Yolo and Saraiuuto. Sackamunto, Aug. 27. The hop crop, which is an important in dustry iu Sacramento county, bids fair t-j be very nearly a failure. Not more than half a crop will bt turned oil' by the yards iu this county and Yolo. Many vines arc turning red, and the hop is also the color of the setting sun. The product is so rusted that it cannot be sulphured do as to sell. All this is also "light," so that it is a dead loss to the growers. A change has come iu the last week and it is a distressful surprise to cultivator-i. It puts entirely a new aspect to the California hop market. The red color is thought to Le due to long dry spells and hot weather. Misleading telegrams have been seot out by buyers within the past few days, saying that the crop in this valley will be above the average, when, in fact, the 'everse is the case. IBI IOBT RACK. Captain Andrew, of the Manual on Hoard a Ship. London, Aug. 27. The British steamer l-Mbruse, from Baltimore August 11, ai rived at Antwerp to day. On board her was CapUii Andrews, of the dory Mermaid which sailed from Boston book time ago on a transatlantic race with the dory Sea Serpent, which arrived at Coverack.in the English channel, August 5. The fact that Captain Andrews was en board the Elbruse is taken to indicate he had given up the rare, or else some accident had happened to his boat that made it necessary for him to le ave her.

Statl-sville, X. C, Aug. 27. A western bound passenger train on the Western cV North Carolina railroad jumped the trestle near here early this morning. The train plunged into a ravine 200 feet in depth, dashing the cars into spun' ters. At least forty passengers were killed outright, 'the wounded number twenty-five. Many of them will die. Few, if any, of the passengers or trainmen escaped unhurt. Relief was promptly sent out. Owing to the hour and locality of the acci dent, only the most meagre details were received. The train was filled with people. The wreck is complete, very few passengers escaping death, as the bridge is sixty feet high. Up to 11 o'clock thirty-six bodies were recorered from the wreck. Par ticulars yet meagre. No names are yet known ot tne dead. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. Charlotte, X. C, Aug. 20. An accident occurred near Statesville early this morning on a high tres tle over the Catawba river. A rail in the track had been removed at the entrance of the bridge, precip lUting the whole train into the river. News from the scene is meagre, but it is certain that be tween twenty and thirty people were killed and many others in jurad. RAIN TO ORDER. The Government's Experiments In Texas a Sureess. Midland, Tex., Aug. 27. The labors ot the raiumakers, whom Uncle Jerry Rusk sent down here to try to pump water out of cloud less skies, are practically at an end, so far as this particular focal itv ia concerned. General Jivren forth will leave for Washington to-morrow to be gone about ten days. He is highly pleased with the success of the experiments. and has perfect faith that the power of making ia n has been secured. From a barren dry a!kali prairie this country has been transformed into a first-class pasture land. The experiments have not yet been conducted upon the extensive scale of the programme lirst laid out by General Dyrenforth, bul Humcient has been done to demon strate that the rigtit. plan for making rain when it is needed has been discovered. The balloons, owing to the present inadequate means of maktug oxvgen in large quantities, have not been a daz zling success, but the rackarock powder and dynamite have worked wonders witli the atmosphere. The explosions of any large amount of dynamite and racka rock were followed by rain inside of ten hours, upon eight or ten occasion. lASt evening was the final and most conclusive atid satisfactory of any of the experiments. The night was clear and there was every indication of a long dry spell. Five balloons were sent up nd exploded. A stitt gale was blowing from the east and they drifted toward the setting sun be fore they exploded. The battle on the ground, where rackarock and dynamite took the place of heavv artillery, lasted Irom six o'clock until ten; then the gen eral and hie forces retired. They were awakened at 3 a. m. by a vivid flash of lightning, followed by a violent clap of thunder. They went out and saw a storm of great violence raging in the west. It rained until about 8 a. m. ; tnen many pounds of dynamite and rackarock were exploded again. After each discharge tne rain tell in torrents. HANDLING WHEAT. Railroad Companies Arranging fur Heavy Shipments. Portland, Aug. 27. In this season of great crops it is interest ing to note what are the capabilit ies of tne railroads lor transporta tion. An otuciai oi a prominent line told a Telegram reporter this morning that every provision was being made to handle it all over the Northwest from St. l'aul to Portland, Taking Minnesota and the Dakotas as examples, it is esti mated that the crop will be 150,- 000,000 bushels. This would re quire a movement of 1000 cars per day for 300 days, and so it would seem as if it could not be conveyed awav. On the other hand it must be remembered that at the close of the season the countr elevators are filled up with wheat that is to be held until the following spring and summer. The elevators along the Great Northern will hold 21,- 0!H),000 bushels, while those of the Noithern Taciuc nave a capacity of 9.000.000 bushels. Then the combined other loads have eleva tors holding 20,000,000. Tins makes a totol of about 50,000,000 bushels, or one-third of the entire crop that will be kept until the rasli ot transportation is over. Most cars will carry from 600 to 050 bushels. On this basis it would jsquire only 834 cars for 300 days. Twenty-five cars are about the usual train make-up, which would make it necessary that thirty-three trains move per day. This, -considering all the different railroad companies, is certainly not a difficult thing to do. In the states of Oregon and Washington special efforts are be ing made to provide ample trans portation facilities. Judging from the number of cars to be used and the the storage facilities, there will be no great difficulty in hand, ling the yield. A DKVMKIN KIIO.
