WHY is Dr. Reeves acknowledged as Portland's leading and most success

graiitnde are received from rich and poor. READER, STOP and consider aright
this unparalleled and overwhelming testimony. It means that a cure is effected in
every case that is undertaken. ,
FACTS ARE STUBBORN THINGS, and the wonderful CURES he has effected
have crest, d confidence and delighted the hearts of those who have suffered and
struggled in va n for years against the ravages of disease until this successful physi
cian restored th"in to health. -
Seminal Emissions, Loss of Sexual Power. Weakness of the sexual Organs,
ant of Desire in Male or Female, whether from imprudent habits of young, or
sexual habits of mature years, or any cause that debilitates the. sexual funcuons,

Wife Pleads for Him The Back
Bone of the Strike Broken.
Washington, May 8 All Oregon
and WashiDfftron items in theriverand
harbor bill went through the senate
without opposition today, including
the appropriation for the boat railway
at Tbe Dalles and the Seattle canal.
There will be a fight on both items in
the conference.
With the bond resolution out of the
way, the senate gave its attention to
the accumulation of minor measures
before going on with the river and
harbor bill.
Mitchell of Oregon gave notice that
when the last appropriation bill was
passed, he would press the joint res
olution for election of senators by the
people, not for tbe sake of having fur
ther spt'ejhes, but to actually adopt
the resolution.
Therii-erand harbor bill was then
taken up. On a point of order by Gor
man, the committee amendment was
stricken out providing that all persons
employed on riyer and harbor works
hall be selecte 1 and hired by the offl
cers of the corps of engineers in local
charge of those works, in order that
the officers mav be held to a strict re-
ponsibility for the proper execution
of the work in their charge.

Resolution Opposing Government Aid to

Cleveland, May 8. In the Metho-
distconference this morning a resolu
tion directed against the use of federal
by the Roman Catholic church was un
animously adopted without discussion.
Tbe resolution states that this general
conference representing the Metho-
ist Episcopal Church, reiterates its
conviction that a cure for sectarian
and ecclesiastical aggression is to be
round in the prop033d Sixteenth
mendment to the United States con-
titution, drafted and promulgated by
the national league for the protec
tion of American Institutions.
Tbe Milwaukee Strike.
Milwaukee ' May -AH i9--quiet
cars are in service From appearances
the back-bone of the strike is broken.
The company has issued a notice
guaranteeing protection and perma
nent employment to all men who ac
cept places. The arrests made last
night served to quiet the hoodlums.
All attempts at mediation proved
fruitless." The strikers agreed to sub
mit their grievances to the state arbi
tration commission, with the under
standing that if a settlement is reached,
all old men will be re-employed. The
company declines.
Civil Service Exteosione
Washdjgton, May 8. The presi

fied service except the chief executive
ones requiring prseidential nomination
and confirmation by the senate. This
order makes a total of about 85,900
government positions now included
in the evil service.
THE MVARtr.ttA CANAL.
Governor McCorkle .-advocates Its Con
struction Before a Committee.
Washington, May 8. Governor
McCorkle, of West Virginia, appeared
before the house committee on com
merce today to advocate the construc
tion of the Nicaragua canal.
He spoke in behalf of the coal inter
ests in his own and adjacent states, de
claring that that section jrould be
able to control the coal markets of the
Pacific coast, of North and South
America, with the shipping facilities
which would be afforded by tbe canal.
At present all coal used on tbe Pacific
coast, he stated, is mined in Australia,
Japan and Vancouver.
He predicted that with the advance
ment of the Japanese they would mon
opolize the coal business of the coast
unless the canal should be built, when
the freight rates would enable West
Virginia to undersell the Japanese.

San Francisco, Mav 9 The steam

sale massacre of traders and mission
aries by the natives of t ie 14 inds of
Manning Straits and Solomon islands.
Mallayta savages butchered the. whole
boat's crew of men from the brig Rio
Loge, at Rubiana. Two French and
one American trader were slaughtered.
The mission on the island has ben at
tacked, and the missionaries escaped
with difficulty, going' back to Sidney
by the first ship. The murders on the
islands of Manning Straits were fol
lowed by acts of cannibalism. A small
trading schooner, owned by a French
trader, was atttcked and the owner
nd his American assistant and eight
peaceable natives were lured ashore
and beaten to death. The trading sta
tion was sacked. Two E.iglUh mis
sionaries could not be found, and it is
upposed' they were also murdered.
The mission on Tounan island ha
been abandoned, as a result of the at
rocities of the natives.
MISERY IN HAVANA.
The Condition of the City Is Reported to
be Deplorable.
New YORK, May 9. A special to
the Herald from Havana says:
The condition of Havana is deplor
able. Important business houses are
closing . every week; others are
threatening to close, reducing the
forces, cutting down the salaries of
those who remain, while the prices of
living, always high here, are constantly
increasing. Stories of waotand misery
are heatd on every -side and everybody
looks forward to the worst summer in
the history of the island.
The great cigar and cigarette-houses
the main industry of the city are
holding down their orders as. much as
possible, as there is not enough leaf
tobacco in sight to carry them through
the summer. : - .
' Antonio Maceo's destructive cam
paign in the Vuella, will immediately
compel many, factories to -suspend., and

means of subsistence. : ": .'--:..
Smallpox has increased in Havana
recently and the authorities have been
stirred to take action to isolate the
patients, to some extent.
It is learned that. the health of the
soldiers, massed along the trocha, is
very bad. The turning up of ground
across the island and the massing of
men without sanitary arrangements
result in innumerable cases of malar
ial fever. The insurgents say this is
hardly a beginning. When the rains
cume the ditches will become muddy
streams, the little forts along the edges
will crumble and fall and fever will
decimate tbe ranks.
Antonio Maceo's private secretary
took advantage of General Weylar's
recent offer of amnesty to rebels, in
the Pinar del Rio district. He sur

REFERRED TO MADRID
Execution of the Competitor Captives Is
Delayed.
HAVANA, May 10. The Spanish
government has been asked to approve
tbe sentences of death passed by the
court-martial upon the men captured
on the Competitor on a charge of
piracy and -revolution. Tbe men sen
tenced are Alfredo Laborde, said to be
the leader of the party, and claiming
American citizenship; Elias Beda, also
claiming American citizenship; Wil
liam Gildea, said to be a British sub
ject; John Milton, a native of Kansas,
and Teodoro Mata. This places the
fate of the men in tbe hands of the
authorities nt Madrid, and ensures
that they will not he executed with
out an order from the Spanish govern
ment. The question of the execution of the
captives of the Competitor is recog
nized to be one of the most important
wbich-has occurred since the insurrec
tion broke out. Now that the question
has been referred to the government
at Madrid, the situation here has
quieted down, though there is no ces
sation of interest and discussion of the
question. Tbe attitude of the publio
is rather one of waiting on the decision
of the Madrid government. Tho situa
tion is attended by much impatience
and no little anxiety.

No Danger of m Flood.
Considerable uneasiness has been
expressed of late by the citizens o'
The Dalles lest unusually high water
will occur this season. They have
based their belief on the fact that the
spring thaw in tbe Rocky mountains
is uncommonly late, and when the
snow begins melting the water will
come down in such volumes as to cause
a flood at this place. Mr. S. L. Brooks,
who has kept an accurate record of the
weather and rise and fall of the river
for many years, says there is little
cause to fear high water. A coraparl
eon of the records of past years shows
the temperature and stage of the river
this year to be about the average, and
since there is no more snow in the
mountains this spring than common he
doss not anticipate an unusual rise in
the Columbia. It would require un
common weather, extreme heat and
continued rains, to bring it up even to
the high water mark of 1876.
