Kerns, left the city Monday, Aug. 15, via the Btrlow . road for the Willamette valley, arriving at Oregon City, the follow mg Sunday. They camped oat nearly every , night, and enjoyed the trip very ranch. - There is some disease prevalent among tomato plants, that has nearly destroyed that industry in this vicinity. Tbe leaves turn yellow and the fruit wither and dip If some remedy could be applied it would be a great boon to horticulturists.as toma toes have yielded very small returns dur ing the past few years. A telegram from JMlensburgn, wash., announces the death this morning of Mr. D. O'Meam, formerly an emp oyee of tbe Union Pacific, and well known to all rail road men. The cause of death 'was not given, and no particulars we're sent. He whs generous-hearted, and made many friends wherever he resided, who will hear with regret the news of his death. Perry King, apparently a hobo, on be ing arrested last Friday at Raker City for . yagrany, through remorse of conscience, confessed to having committed murder on the 13th of July, 1885, in Wallnut, Kas., by killing John Page. He claims to have escaped, after being arrested and placed in jail. While making, tbe con. and bis whole oemeanor was that of a man who had undergone great torment of mind. A. Pazmandy, a Hungarian, will send for exhibition at the World's Fair, a col -lection ot exceedingly novel paintings, which will, doubtless, attract mucu atten tion. There are twenty-five of tbe pic tures and all are miniatures almost to tbe microscopic degree. One of them repre senting tne landing of Columbus, with seventeen human figures in it, is about tbe size of the nail of the little finsrer. Another is a portrait of Emperor Francis Joseph and is of the size of tbe head ot a match. The work on these pictures is said to be exquisite- According to an act passed last May all Chinamen within the United States must register themselves within one year or leave the country. Three pbotograps of each Chinaman, a concise biography and critical description of each will be re quired. According to tbe latest informa tion there is about 107,000 Chinamen in this country, of this number more than "25,000 are in the Pacific states Conse quently the register work on this coast will be no picnic, but the photographer whom they may elect to patronize, in large cities, will have his hands full. Bolivar, Missouri, slipped oat with Henri etta Mority, the midget. 22 inches high, snd toe two were married. - Ibe mother of tho dinvnotive bride was yery indignant, but ret new son-m-law was more than she cared to tacEle." The Queen of the Inland Empire, the little boat lately built by Mr. KeuneOy, get np steam and made a trial trip to-day. She plowed the placid bosom of the river in determined maimer,' and demonstrated her powers of yolition. A tew members of the Salvation Army are in attendance on the camp meeting now being held in the pines south of this city, and this give rise to a rumor laat evening that that branch of Christians bad viaited The Dalles. On examination this report proved unfounded, A cat and dog fight created considerable excitement on oar streets last night, but the canine was of the ball-bog species, and the separation of the combatants nearly caused a fistic encounter between tbe respective owners. Bat an armistice was declared, and the dog was washed clean of core, and the cat sought safety under a sidewalk. Salt Oregonian: Man; of the Indians are leaving the re ervation on their annual summer pilgrimages. Some go to Wallowa valley to fish and bant, bat tbe majority will travel to Hnntmgton in accordance with an agreement to meet tbe Bannock In dians half way, trade horses and goods, and smoke the pipe of peace. The two tribe were enemies in . the war of 1878 but emissaries have been lately sent here by the Bannocks, and friendly terms restored. Salem Statesman: Ashley White has a relic that is a rare cariosity. It consists of an old Hudson Bay Company knife around which an oak tree bas grown.- The tree was felled and in being chopped up the wood man's ax came in contact with tbe knife The tree has grown entirely around the knife, which was hidden from sight un il discovered by the blade of the axe. Tbe knife, which is badly rusted, was a very long one. Its blades are clotted and one end of the hancle is seen from either side of the stump. This knife mus: bave been bronght to Oregon and laid in the lurks ot an oak tree in Polk county as early as 1842. The Uuion Pacific railroad has failed to adopt the snggestion'of the railroad com-mis-ioners to pat another brskeman on their trains Commissioner Hamilton, of Baker City, says: "The company has fared to do as we wanted it to do, but we cannot force tbe corporation in this matter. The com mission acts merely in an advisory capacity, Only one brakeman is employed on each train, while more tbonld be put on. I do not suppose that more than one man needed alt the time to work thr air brakes, bat another man at least should be employed to assist ladies and children on to the plat forms. When the through trains reach here they are composed of about fourteen care. and seven cars are on the train all tbe way. 1 regard Che Dalits divisioo as dangerous as tbe mountain run. I suppose tbe company can get along all right between accidents. and no one so far as I know can force it to take pi oper precautions.1 A rather odd wedding took place a few days ago at Colton, Wash. In a party of tourists, journeying from the coast up into Northern I aho, by team, were a yontog man ot eighteen years and a maiden of bf teen summers who were desirous of being "hitched, ' and arriving at Colton tbey bailed a preacher who roamed them ou i license from Columbia county, but on con ia ration tne minister concluded this was not legal, so tbe hero of the clotb got him a boggy and followed the couple, and upon overtaking them, again, while they were standing under the wagon covering, and she was "a chewirg of her bonnet string" pro nounced them man and wife. The picture as presented to tbe mind of a witness was ludicrous indeed. He with overalls and ducking shirt, and a hay belt aotiug as sus penders. She with calico dreas-r running string in the waist and sunbonnet, making as odd a pair as Josh Bill ngs ever saw. For several days Little Miss Genevieve Fish bas been informing her friends that she was "doin t have a paty," last Satur day being the third anniversary of her birth; and any one entering the parlors of Mrs. N. B. Sinnott yesterday afternoon would have no doubt that it was a party in the fullest sense of the term. A pretty sight it was to see the little children playing around tbe room, entertaining lach other in a manner that would do credit to an assembly of grown-up -people, Genevieve doing ber ut most to see that every little guest bad- a Mood" time, and the children seemed to enjoy tbe refreshments served as well as their mammas, who of course were present on the occasion. Anoog the litlie ores present were, Genevieve Fish, Geraldine Kelley, Florence Hollister, Lois Taylor, Mabel Mclnnis, Harold Cates, Teddy Sen fert, Alfred Thoropoo, Clitton Condon, disputable evidence that the place had not been visited since, and undoubtedly there is mineisl wealth in our mountains that bas never been disturbed by the miner's pick. Eugene Uuard: Judge Fullerton bas de cided the Oregon Pacific case against the bondholders. It seems that Jadge Pipi extended the time for paying for the road, Which was purchased by L. Job until sept. 1st. o uie of the bondholders then peti tionert Judge Fullerton to set aside the ex tension of time and compel Job to pay up at once, ibe court thereupon decided to let the order stand, refusing to interfere with Judge Pipes' decision. Now we sup pose the Benton county kickers will d uounce Judge Fullerton for sustaining Judge ripes decision. Salem Journal: J. C. C. Lewis, of Ger vais, has been appointe t by surveyor Gen eral YV. a. tSyars to inspect the late gov ernment auryevs made by Messrs. Geaner, O Neill, and Collier, in Benton county south of Newport. J. C. O'Neill bas also been appointed to inspect certain surveys made in Clatsop county. J. W. Kemball, of Pendleton, will examine tbe snryeys in Umatilla and Harney counties. W. F Riggs will examine those in Lane and Douglas counties. J. C. McCall, those 'in Curry, Josephine and Lake counties. All tne surveys that have been made will be examined and reported upon at once, and atter their approval large tracts of land will be opened for filing. Salem Journal: A year ago a sharper was in the city selling so e kind of beans that he claimed would make coal oil burn six weeks. Many of Salem's best ladies se enred some of these magic perpetuators and put tbem into their lamps. They are still there, hut the lamps have to be filled regu larly lost tbe same. XNow comes another similar fraud. He is announced by the fol lowing letter from ' he S?andard Oil Com pany to the Salem Truck & Drav Company. Look out for him: "There is a man travel ing through the northwest as agent ot the Continental Oil Company, of ban Francisco, taking orders for a non explosive powder to be nsed in coal oil lamps, lie is a fraud. Please notify tbe people that he does not order the powder, but takes orders for it, and gets the money, but the powder never arrives, see that yoar trade is posted. THE TEAOEEES INSTITUTE. Jamie Kinerely, Dickey Hinton, Frsuk Hill. From Friday's Daily. Dr. G. F. Tucker is in the oity. Mr. John carry, of Portland, is on - From Thursday's Daily. Delightful mornings. ' , The pubhc schools will open on Monday Sept. 5th. The Columbia bas nearly reached low water mark. Mr. Nello Johnson was a passenger on the 1 o'clock train. Very many of our citizens expect to be present at the barbecue to-morrow at Grant Mr. Geo. Herbert, mine host of the Mt. Hood bote! at Hood River, was tn the city yesterday. License to marry was granted to Allen Fulton and Elsie B. Backus by tbe county clerk to-day. ' Tbe city recorder did not have any per son to interview this morning, and the city jail ia vacant. and sanitary measures should not be neg lected. Clean the alleys ot all fifth. Mr. J. W. Condon bas received the ao pointment from Gov. Pennover, of coon y attorney for Wasco of the state board of School Land Commissioners. The verdict of tbe jury in the case of State vs. ueo. Mann,John Mann and James Johnson, t'ied yesterday afternoon be'ore Justice tjlark, was guilty as charged, ana they were fined. Every visitor from the east admires our fruit, and onr horticulturists can congratu late themselves that the products of the or chards in the vicinity of Tbe Dalles cannot be excelled anywhere on the coast. The Texas giant. Col. Powell, 7 feet 8 inches high, who is traveling with a circus. it ia said, while the circus exhibited at streets to-day, Prof. Aaron Crazier, of the public schools of Dufu', is in the city to-day. Mr. Wm. Bruin, one A the, solid sheep men and farmers near Rockland, is in the city to-day. . The teachers' institute now in session in this city bas been one of tbe most' interest ing ever held. . The Dalles band left for Grant this morn ing on a freiuht train, and very many went on tbe 1 o'clock passenger. Another day and not a single unfortunate individual for the city recorder to inter view. O! temporal . O! mores.' The Booth party, which bas been camp ing at Collins' Landing for several weeks, returned to this city last evening on the Segualtor. , Tbe dwelling house of Mr. Phil. Brogan, Sr., ia being finished quite rapidly, and wben completed will be architecturally neat and beautiful. R. E. Saltmarshe & Co., at the stock yards, are receiving hogs fur the Portland market, and as carloads are receive 1 tbey will be shipped. The camp-meeting ia attracting consider able interest, and the attendance during the day and evening is quite large. Fifty con versions are claimed, and the religious feel lug is apparently increasing. The Juvenile Temple gave a picnic today in the Academy grounds, and the young people had a yery enjoyable time. Before ptoceeding to the ground tbey paraded the streets with banners flying. No decision has a vet been, given in the matter of the State vs Birgfel'd, on defend ant's application tor bail, but it is presumed that Judge Bradshaw will render his deci sion sometime this afternoon. Wheat is being received at Moody's ware house; bat the full crop is not being marketed yet, and will not for a few days. The grain received so far is of good quality, and will be excellent for milling purposes. Klickitat county has harvested tbe best crop it has had for a number ot years past. The "farmers are very much encouraged over their success this year, and this will stimulate them to greater efforts m the future. Messrs. Stoneman & Fiege are receiving new goods daily, and when the stock ar rives from tbe east, which is now being re ceived, will have the moat complete variety of boots and shoes in this city. These goods are marked down to the lowest prices 1 1 suit tbe times. . A work train of several dump cars left the city this morning. It is operating on the road between here and the Locks, filling in bridges. We understand that it is the intention of the company to do away with the long bridge at Viento by means of fill ing. This is wise eoocomy, and will save to tbe railroad heavy expenditures annually. Mr. W. H. Moody returned yesterday from the Bohemia mines in Lane county. He says there are good prospects in that vicinity; but tbe country has never been thoroughly examined by practical miners. The quartz is free milling ore, and contains large quantities of gold. There ia now one quartz mill in operation and another one will soon be placed in position. Tbe foothills of the Cascades are aaid to be the natural home of the honey bee. One bee hunter went to Portland the other day with nearly 1000 pounds ot perfect combs. The valleys are a natural dairy region, as tbe best tame grasses will grow and remain green tbe year around where the ferns uud timber are once subdued. Plenty of stock will subdue the fern. To demonstrate the fact that the mineral wealth of Oregon baa not been developed, an incident waa related today that will; bear repeating. About twenty-five years ago Mr. John Southwell made a prospecting tour in the mountains of Southern Oregon, and comi g to a ledge sank a abaft to test the depth of the ore. As this required some days' labor, he camped where he worked. A few days ago, in company with Mr. W. H. Moody, he visited the same place and the bole remained the same as he left it, ex cept the debris that had washed mto it dur ing the rainy season, and a few feet distant was hi 4 frying nan on tbe same stump where he left it a quarter century ago. This ia in COMMOBJOTJHOIL. The council convened last (Wednesday) evening pursuant to adjournment. Present: Hon. Robert Mays, mayor; E. B. Dutur, Paul Kreft, T. N. Joles, H. J. Maier and C. E.

Portland Business College. ' . . This excellent school is again represented in onr columns, by an advertisement so neat and attractive that any newspaper kes to print it. The Timfs-Moustainkeb bas so often ao.l so stroutrly recommended the Portlaud Business College, that its Sentiments concerning that institution are already well known. Tbe following ia an extract from the catalogue of the school just received at this office: Our new home, beautiful in design, sub stantial in construction, rich in coloring! Buiit of granite, buff stone and pressed brick, six stories high with ample elevators. stairways and fire escapes, our new building is a structure of which Pirtland f"els jnntly proud uur school-rooms and omces. eleven in number, are conveniently ar ranged, completely equipped, well lighted, tboroaghl. ventilated, heated hy steam. reached by a twenty-passenger elevator and two stairways, and supplied with pure water pawned in a c nstaut stream from a driven .well 150 feet deep. Located at Fifth and Yamhill streets, directly opposite the postomce, within easy reach of all parts of Portland and its suburbs by street cars. these rooms are mooed ideal lor tbe par- poses tor wtiicd they were designed, afford ing as quarters rarely equalled and unsur passed anywhere. Thus oo oar facilities constantly improve; and this it ia that prompts young men and women in the Pacitin Northwest who desire a practical education to turn inetinctiyely to the Port land Business College. Beginning yesterday at 1 20, Prof. Rigler traced the voyages and discoveries of tbe most important Spanish navigators on some very beautifully prepared maps as the new ly discovered countries appeared to voyagers of that day. Then sfter a review and as signing the next work. Prof. Ackerman fol lowed on mental arithmetic. Brooks' Nor mal Mental was used lor practical work. and if teachers would acquaint themselves with that work more thoroughly the ques tions in the teachers' quarterly examina tions would not appear so difficult to tbem in that branch. ' President Bloss then claimed the atten tion of the teachers on what they should read and bow mncb, dwelling especially on the art ot reproduction of thoughts gained. He advised the young men present to tell what tbey read about, even though it be to some one else's sister. Owing to his jovial disposition we surmised that he might ac company some one on a watermelon expedi tion some evening just for fun! Prof. Acaerman closed the exercises of the day by having the teachers read and analyze the poem at the head of this article. After repeating tbe Lord s prayer this morning.and collecting tuition of one dollar each from those in attendance, the regular programme began. f rot. Kigler finished the work in frac tions ia Fish's arithmetic No. 2, as be would have it taught in the fifth grade, and was followed by Piof. Ackerman in language, using a selection of Thackery from his lee turs on the "Three Georges" Af er recess, Prof.. Kilger . finished tbe map drawing of Sonth America as began yesterday. Ueautifui. outline maps of his own production were distributed gratis to tho tehers, and we believe more interest will be manifested in this important branch in the future Ackerman closed on the sub ject or digestion ty taking a thorough re view of ail the nitrogenous and non-nitro genoas food. be sufficient inducement to suggest to every enterprising man, woman and child in the state that an unusual effort be made towards presenting at oar exposition some thing from eyery part of th i state, to the end that the same, at the proper time may be forwarded to Chicago. Our sitter states on the coa t ar making a great effort; and although the legislature oi isregon nas lauea to maa buy puvioiuu towards a state exhibit at Chicago, we bave no doubt that individual effort oo the part of the citizens of Oregon will bring us up to tbe standard of Washington and California, where the legislatures have appropriated Itrge amounts for the representation of thi-ir respective states at tbe World's Columbia Exposition. Twelve counties have already xigmhed their intention of coming . in with county exhibits, and it is the desire to give every county an opportunity to show what it boasts of, and wbat it has in the way ot i iducements to settlement. To enable eacb ciuuty to exhibit, the different transports non lines have given greatly reduced rates. These rates take effect August 16th, and are follows: All articles for exhibition at the Portland E position, oo which fall taaiff rates may be paid to the exposition, will be returned free to point of origin, it on the railroad line, and to junction point if on an originat ing or connecting line. AU that is re quired is, that the shipper shall present, within bve days at er the close of the exp sition, a certificate signed by the secretary, stating that the articles have been on ex hibition, and have not changed ownership. fhe only exclusion is race borses. Articles of a perishable nat re, that for any reason may not be returned, and on which full tariff rates bave been paid to the exposition. will be treated as follows; Consignees of such articles shall be refunded amounts paid, on presentation and surrender to the agent of the original expense-bill, accom panied by a certificate from the secretary ot tho exposition, to tbe effect that the goods were oo exhibition, have not been sold, and no revenue derived from them. The premiums this year exceed, in amount and number, those of ail former years. All Experts Use Royal Baking Powder Perfect and uniform success in making finest food h more certain with Royal Baking Powder than with any other. Use it in every receipt calling for a baking powder, or cream of tartar and soda, and the best results in pure, wholesome, appetring food are assured. Experts use it because it adds to their success, physi cians and Health Officers recommend it because it adds to the wholesomeness of the food. "I regard the Royal Baking Powder as Since its introduction into my kitchen Marion Harland: the best in the market I have used no other." Miss Maria Parloa: "It seems to me that the Royal Baking Powder is as good as any can be. I have used it a great deal and always with satisfaction." Mrs. Baker, Principal of Washington, D. C, School of Cookery: "I say to you, without hesitation, use the 'Royal.' I have tried all, but the Royal is the most satisfactory." M. GORJU, late Chef, Delmonico's, New -York: "In my use of Royal Baking Powder, I have found it superior to all others." A. FORTIN, Chef, White House, for Presidents Arthur and Cleveland: "I have tested many baking powders, but for finest food can use none but ' Royal,' " OEEGON yEATHEE SEEVIOE, In (jo-operation With V. M Weather Bureau, of the Department of Agriculture. : Interesting Entertainment. Tbe proceedings at the Institute last evening were very interesting, and at tracted a fair audience. - First, on the pro gramme was a musical rendition by a quintette composed of Mrs. It. S. Hum- melon, Misses Matilda Hollister, Rose Michel), L. Blutz and Grace Crandall, with Mrs. o. J. t;ranaall at tne piano This was excellently executed, and very favorably received. This was followed by the address of welcome by Mr. Johu Michell, and responded to m an appro priate manner by frot. 'J. L. (ill ber t, ot Hood Kiver. Another rendition by the same choir was tbe prelude to a masterly ora'ion on "Our Civilization, Dependent upon Christianity and Science," by jrrof. Bloss, of the -Agricultural College. He reviewed tbe history ot the advancement of ihe world since the introduction of Christianity, and the marked difference in the manners of tbe people. In a few words, the address may be said to be a creful review ot the progress of civiliza tion ainoDg the difterent nations, and in dicated careful sudy and a thorough ac quaintance with tbe subject Tbe last number was an excellent one by tbe choir, and tbe ni-eting was adjourned by Superintendent Shelley. Thk DAiiLKS, Aog. 25, 1892, Exercises began yeeteiday afternoon by irrof. Kielfir followed on the "Frr-ncb aud Indian War, exhibitaog plainly on hia pre pared historical cbatta,- tne fine ohjeetive pointa of attack on tne part of tbe JEoaliah viz: Ft. DiiqaeaDe.

Profy Ackerfhan instructed in mental arithmetic from Piper's Graded Seat Work, Bin eternal vigilance over the class places every one on tbe alert, and a preceptible chance can a ready be noticed in tbe teach' era, lu making rapid calculations in aliqnota ana percentage. A new device in written spelling was then introduced by Prof. Rigler, designed to furnish each member of tbe class with the fall benefit ot the whole exercise and yet avoid tbe probability of receiving aid. The clafa facing the blackboard number alter nately 1, 2, clear round, tbos dividing it in to two divisions koown as I's and 2's. This enables tbe instructor to pronounce success ively to the' two divisions and keep all bus ily engaged. . Criticise by each member moving one place to the left, and finding the list of word be did not write. ' xnis morning s work began singing "Sweet Hour ot Kest," followed by morn ing quotations Prof. Kigler nsed iris morn mg tour on how to teach decimals, show ing tbeir similarity to fractions. - Prof. Ackerman then placed oo the board a complete scheme of words, phrases criaures ana sentences, and or lied thorough y . on meir uenmnons, relations and uses. Rigler finished tbe rebef mnn .of South Amrica,and took up in succession the coast line, primary and secondary axes, and their great water coursr u, showing especially tbe climatic changes wrought thereby and their innueucea on plants, animals and man. Ackerman finished the subject of rarca lation, impressing the thought that food taken up rom tne stomach went directly into the circulation, bnt taken np by the lacteals from tbe intestines tiod its wv into the theoraeie duct, thence into the cir culation.

Crop- Weather Bulletin, No. SI, for week ending Tuesday, August 23, 1892: EASTERN OREGON. Weather There has been no rainfall at all throughout this section since last re port, aod tbe need of a good rain Is badly felt in tbe northeastern counties. There has been plenty of sunshine, although it cannot be said to baye been excessive Tbe temperature during the day was fair ly warm, perhaps a bit higher than the normal in some sections; but the nights bare been very cool, especially was ibis tbe case in Klamath county wbei e gardens are said to have suaerea considerable in jury from the frost of the early part of tbe week. Crops -Although the fall and 'early spring wneat crop is being naryestea in most counties, in portions ot Wallowa county very little grain has been cat so far except rye. Threshing operations are just beginning. In Union county late sown crain is heading and ripening very short and uneven. More reports of the excellent condition in which the hay crop is being put up are Deing received daily. Corn and potatoes continue to suffer for want of rain, it is doubtful if the latter could receive any great benefit from moisture at present. Fruit is ripening fast, and the trees are reported as being generally well loaded. B. S. Paoue. Local Forecast Official. More KuHHian Jew Caminc. Paris, Aug. 25.

Self Beform Societies. The Worlds Advance Thought, ot Portland Oregon, has issued the following preamble and resolutions for the institution of self- reform societies: Realizing the very great necessity for the reform of hnmanity, and believing that tbia reform must be brought about largely by individual self-reform: To this end we institute a society and a,dopt the following preamble and resolutions as a basis from which to work: Whbbbas, Tbe reformatory effects - of humanity, thus far, have been mainly de- yoted to trying to eliminate evils in others, by external appeals in the form of speeches. writings and arguments to prove the etficscy of certain methods or theories to reform the race, while those advancing them seem not to understand that reform comes from within, and must be evolved for one's self; and that only through self reform can one help to reform the race. Be it therefore Resolved, That we, the undersigned, con stitute ourselves into a society for self-re form, to try to live in harmony with all life. Remloed. That we shall endeavor to no guard onr thoughts that we shall only evolve good ones; that we will neither think nor speak ill of another, no matter how great tbe provocation; and that we will strive persistently to be the embodiment ot love ant good will. Resolved, That so far as lies within our power v.e will not leave any tffort untried, nor let an opportunity pass to help our fellow beiLgs. . KOCH'S DISCOVERY. A remedy discovered that Is of tar greater efficacy than the noted lymph. The tubercle bacilli were discovered by Prot Koch, to be constantly present in all cases of consumption. Where the blood is impoverished or impure, there results that constitutional condition known as scrofula, which is characterized by tbe liability of certain tissues to become the seat of chronic inflammations and enlargements. These troubles may start as catarrh in the nasal passages, throat or lnngs, and as the membranes become weakened, the tubercle baccilli enter, and multiply, and we have, as a result, that dread disease Consumption. Find a perfect remedy for scrofula, in all its forms something that purifies the blood, as well as claims to. That, if it's taken In time, will cure Consumption. ' It bas been found in Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov ery. As a strength-restorer, blood-cleanser, and flesh-builder, nothing like it is known to medical science. For Scrofula, Bronchial, Throat, and Lung affections, Weak Lungs, severe Coughs, and kindred ailments, it's the only remedy so sure that it can be guaran teed. If it doesn't benefit or cure, your money is refunded. - Boys' and Girls' Aid Society of Oregon- Boys may be had (and sometimes girls) for (1) ordinary service at wages; (2) upon indenture, to work, attend school, and be brought up somewhat as your own;j aod (3) children may be had for legal adoption, Address.

Yester day's new cases of cbolera were 174 in excess of those reported Tuesday, and tbe deaths were 84 in excess ot tbose re ported the" same day. Yesterday's totals for Russia, according to official figures. were 5679 new cases and 2743 deaths. Tbe disease is spreading in this pity, but the people now show little concern about it. The number ot new cases reported here is larger, but' tbe death rale is smaller. The doctors say the disease is less virulent in its character, and that in addition to this tbe number of deaths has been lessened by better arrangements for tbe treatmeot of patients. . Wben tbe disease first became epidemic the physi cians of tbe city were greatly overworked, but now a number of doctors from. other places, are serving in the hospitals and mocn closer attention can oe given to sufferers. Tbe number of hospital attcn daots bas also been largely increased. There bas been no relaxation of strict sanitary regulations, and any violation is met with prompt punishment. It is be lieved the custom tbat prevails among tbe poorer classes, many of whom during tbe summer leave tbe city and live at Staraya, Novaya,' Derevyna, Poinstnovo and otner suburbs of St. Petersburg, bas done much to prevent tbe mortality in tbe city from being greater. As yet these planes bave been little aflected with tbe disease. Leading Normal - Scnool OF THE NORTHWEST. BOARD OF REGENTS: Benjamin Bcholfield, President; S. B. V.
