Mrs. Gen. u Wilson, of parsons, Kansas,
who was appointed by the State of Kansas lady com
missioner to the World's Fair at NewOrlcans, in an
swer to theinqniry of a reporter, said: "I can not
speak too highly of Dr. TURNER'S TREATMENT.
My sufferings nearly distracted me. My stomach
was deranged and my nervous system was complete
ly broken. I suffered from partial paralysis, rheu
matism and neuralgia. Added to the above symp
toms were loss of memory, voice, apctite and lack
of nerve force. My family physician did me no good
and by the advice of a friend, I bought Dr. Turner's
-Treatment. Two packages completely cured me.
I think the treatment is wonderful in its effenta.-
and recommend it in all cases of general or nervous
debility, and diseased condition of the stomach, kid
neys, liver and blood."

Vropotition to linlld n Railroad from the

Sax Fraxcisco, June 20. The Ex
aminer's Washington special says:
The secretary of the interior has seni
to Senator Sherman, chairman of sen
ate committee on foreign affairs, a let
tcr with a comi'leto report made by
Maj. Powell, superintendent of the
geological survey. A senate bill was
introduced some time since to facili
tate settlement and develope the re
sources of Alaska, and to open an over
land commercial route between the
United States, Asiatic Russia and
Japan. The report is accompanied by
two large maps. Maj. Powell Bays a
railroad is feasible over this vast ex
tent of country, and the difficulties are
not much greater than those that have
ahead been mastered in buildinz
roads alieady in operation." He says
the distance from northern Montana
to Behring sea is 2800 miles.
The report gives a general descrip
tion of tho region through which the
proposed road would pass, and tells of
tho geological formation and general
prospects of the country for settlement
and business. Advantage is taken of
the report made by explorers who were
sent by the Western Union Telegraph
company in 1865 to map out a route
for that company to run its lines.

accompanied by several other eminent
workers from the East, will be in at

Sunday School workers of Oregon to
meet with some of those who stand
at the head of International Sunday
School work, and who have been a
power in the land in arousing and main
taining an interest in this great cause.
It is the purpose to reorganize the
State Sunday School Association at
this time, and perfect arrangements
for carrying on tho work that is to Le
accomplished through such an organi

to participate in its deliberations, yet
to insure a representation, all Sunday

The Liquor Dealers' Union ar
rogated to itself a dominating influence
in Umatilla jwlitics during the cam
paign just closed, and directed its best
efforts against J. P. Wager, editor of
the East Oregonian, who was candidate
for Joint Senator on the Democratic
ticket, but who was not even "epdorsed'
by the Prohibitionists. It appears,
however, that the sober and respacta
ble element of Umatilla and Morrow
counties, unlike that of Coos and Cur
ry, was in.no mood to brook this for
eign and unwarranted interference in
local political affairs, and emphasized
its displeasure thereat, and at the same
time administered a rebuke not less
severe than it was deserved, by elect

The Director of the Geological Sur
rey of Ireland, Professor Hull, F. 11.
S,, delivered the Annual Address of
the Victoria (Philosophical) Institute
in London, on the 28th of May, on
which occasion the Ioststitute's new
President, Professor Stokes, President
of the Ttoyal Society, took the chair.
The report was read by Captain F. Pe-
trie, the honorary secretary, and showed
that the Institute's home, colonial, and
American members were upwards of
eleven hundred, including many who
joined from a desire to avail them
selves of the Institute's privileges
father than bear a part in its work.
An increasing number of leading sci
entific men now contributed papers
.! ;,tj i. r 1 .
about a truer appreciation of the result
of scientific inquiry, especially in cases
where scientific discovery was alleged
by the opponents of religious beliefs
to be subversive thereof. The author
of the Address then gave an account
of the work, discoveries, and general
results of tho recent Geological and
Geographical Expedition t
Arabia, and Western Palestine, of
which he had charge. Sketching the
course taken by him (which to a con
siderable extent took the route as
cribed to the Israelites,) lie gave an
account of the physical features of the
country, evidences of old sea margins
200 feet above the present sea mar
gins, and showed that one time an arm
of the Mediterranean had occupied
the valley of the Nile as far as the First
Cataract, at which tine Africa was an
island (an opinion also arrived at by
another of the Institute's members
Sir W. Dawson,) and that, at the
time of the Exodus, the Red Sea ran
upjinto the Bitter Lakes, and must have
formed a barrier to the traveller's prog
ress at that perod. He then alluded
to the great changes of elevation in the
land eastward of these lakes, mention
ing that the 'raters of the Jordan val
ley once stood 1,292 feet above their
present height, and that the waters of
the Dead Sea, which he found 1,050
feet deep, were once on a level with
the present Mediterranean sea margin
or 1,292 feet above their present height.
The great physical changes which had
taken place in geological tim were
evidenced by the fact that whilst the
rocks iu Western Palestine were gen
erally limestone those of the mountains
of Sinai were amongst the most an
cient in tho woild. The various, geo
logical and geographical features of the
country were so described to make
the. address a condensed report of all
that is now known of them in Egypt,
Palestine and Arabia Petraa.
Sir Henry Darkly, G. C. M. G., F.
R. S. moved a vote of thanks to Prof
Hull, and to those who had contribu
ted to the work of the Institute durinz
the year, which included Assyriolog
ical investigations by Prof. Sayce,
Mr. Boscawen, and others; M. Mas
poro's and Capt Conder's Egyptian
papers; Prof. Porter's Eastern re
searches; also a review of the question
of Evolution by Prof. Virchow, and
the results of investigations in regard
to the subject of the origin of man, as
to which it had been shown by Sir
William Dawson, that geology divided
the chronology of animal life into four
"gieat periods;" in the first, Eozoic
in the Geological as in the Bible
records, were found ihe great reptiles;
and the last, or Tertiary, was again
subdivided into fire "periods," and it
was only in the last of these, the
"modern" period, that the evidences of
man's presence had been found. Again
as regards his ape descent, the forma
tion and proportions of the skull and
bones of the ape considered most like
man were found to be so different
from those of man as to place insuper
able difficulties in the way of the
theory. In the gorilla, tho high crest
on the skull, which was also found in
the hyena, was absent in man. Also
among other points, if the capacity of
the brain of the anthropoid apo were
taken at ten, that of man even in his
savage state was twenty-six, or nearly
thrice as much, a very important fact
when, as it was known, any appreciable
diminution in the brain of man was at1
once accompanied by idiocy. As re
gards the tiansmutability of species,
Barrande's argument against the theory
founded on the results of a life of mod
ern research clearly pointed to the fact
that one great bar to the transmuta
bilitv of species lay in the refined and
minute differences in the molecular
airaiigen.ents in their organs.
The proceedings were concluded by
a vote of thanks to Prof. Stokes, under
whose presidercy it was remarked that
the work of the Institute would be
carried out with ihe increased help
and guidance of men of the highest
scientific attainments, and in a manner
to tend to advance Truth. A conver
sanzione was then held in the Museum,
