John Schoetzlae, proprietor of the distillery at Hood River, is In the city. Mr. Schoetzlae has with him some samples of prune brandy made at his distillery that when it gets age, will be a fiast rate Quality. He says fruit ' was not plentiful enough this year to justify him doing much at distilling, but of years when there is an abun a nee of apples anl prunes he expects to do a good business. The action of the city council In , accepting the proposition of the Seu fert & Condon Co. for putting in the electric fire alarm system will meet with general approval, since it will practically connect . the system - with every portion of the city. This com pany has some 400 telephones on its .local service, and the alarm system beinsr o Derated .from their central office is equivalent almost to a system with 400 boxes, as alarmB can be turned into central from every phone on the circuit.'

Young Kotzman was accompanied by his father and Judge Hayes, of Oregon oity. His ex amination will probably be held be fore Justice Bayard next Monday. As Mr. Kuck, one of the parties on whom he is accused of passing a check, is out of the city, It will be a difficult matter to determine whether or not he is the party wanted. From Monday's Dairy. T.

Two policemen from Portland will come up this evening to Identify Brown and Wilson, tha supposed high waymen who have been such a source of annoyance in that city, and who are at present in the county jail. How ever this county will probably try them for horse stealing before they are turned over to the Multnomah authorities. rom Tueday's Daily J. J. Luckey, of Hood River, is in the city.

Mr. Brooks says the railroad company that pro poses to build down the Columbia from Walla Walla to the sea Is beginlng condemnation proceedings for right of way through Klickitat oounty.

It is at Belmont and consists of 35 acres in fruits with mod ern buildings and machinery, a water works system, a blacksmith shop and every convenience that could make work easy. An eye to beanty as well as utility has directed the Improve ments, making It a delightful home as well as a profitable ranch. A novel enterprise was established at Outlook, Yakima county, the past fall. A Mr. Mclntyre, who worked as cook upon a ranch, during ' his leisure time, collected 90 dozen turtles from slough's along the river and planted them in a pond. He fed them on fish caught in a trap, and shipped them in burlap sacks in th e fall to Seattle, where he obtained 13.50 per dozen for them. In all probabilities the water com' misslsslon will feel justified in pros pecting for artesian water on the hill south of town, as a large majority of the water consumers and taxpayers who nave been interviewed by Super lntendant Crossen have signified their desire that the commission make the experiment. It will cost about $3000 to sink a well, but should artesian water be found, it would be a splendid invest ment. The financial statement of the First National bank, published elsewhere In this issue shows a healthy increase in the business of that Institution as com' pared with the last statement published in September. Then the loans and discounts were $151,041 and the total deposit $294,648, while now the loans and discounts are $159,856 and the total deposits $305,366. Such an increase in the business of the bank speaks well for the business of the town. They Tossed the Captain. ; At the - regular weekly drill last night the members of. the militia com pany made "Borne howl" In the ar mory. They had prepared for a smoker" and they had It with a ven- genca. Alter the regular arm was through and the officers had ceased to exercise authority over their men, sandwiches, pipes and tobacco were supplied and a general good time .was entered into, but the boys of the com pany had something more interesting to spring on the officers. They had a good, stout blanket, and were experts in its use. Captain Bartell was seized and put tnrough a drill that is not des ignated in Upton's manuel, but it is one that is necessary to harden the "raw recruit" for soldier life. He was tossed and tossed until the boys man ipulating the blanket gave out, then it came lieutenant Splvey's turn and the men gave him several tosses skyward. Others were favored with the drill, but that part which most amused the boys was when the captain and lieu tenant were being sent up. At the meeting six new members were added to the company roster, three of them returned volunteers from the Philip pine war. The Doable Eagle Mining; Co. Today articles were filed with the county clerk Incorporating the Double Eagle Mining Co., whose principal place of business is to be The Dalles. The incorporators are J. S. Fish, T. J.

A Great Copper Ledge. The great copper ledge which old Col. Lewis and his dog Jimmy have held down for so long Is going to be opened. The colonel and his associates, who own the three claims located on thi great ore body, have been Induced at last to bond it to some Baker City and Des Moines, Iowa, parties. The controlling interest goes to the North American Mining company of" Des Moines. Work will begin next Mon day and a day and night shift will alternate until the monster ledge of copper ore. Is crosscut at a depth of 10 ' feet. The ledge varies in width on the surface from 160 to 200 feet, and when it la opened it will smash the copper trust.

A special meeting of the city coun- : ell was held Friday for the put pose . of considering the proposition of es tablishing a fire alarm system. There were present Councilmen Stephens, Keller, Clough, Gunning, Johnston, Shackelford, Kolley and Wilson. In ! the absence of Mayor Kuck, Cou icil-; man Stephens was elected preaident pro tern. Three propositions were admitted for constructing and maintalng the system, one from the Oregon Tele phone & Telegraph Co. and two from the Seufert & Condon Co. The propo sition from the O- T. & T. Co. wat that they would erect the system, chatglng the city actual cost of construction, giving the city use of their poles and eads, and would maintain the system free, except the cost of repairs and putting in new boxes. Seufert & Condon's first proposition was that the company would construct the system bearing all expense, and would charge the city $12.50 per month for maintain ing seven boxes, and $1.75 per month for each additional box. The second proposition was that the company would allow the use of their poles and leads for carrying the wires and would put In the system at a cost of $206.50 to the city, and thereafter maintain the same for one dollar per month. On motion of Councilman Gunning the second proposition of the Seufert & Condon Co. wes accepted, and the mayor and recorder were authorized, on the part of the city, to enter into a contract with Seufert & Condon .Co. for the construction and maintenance of the system. On recommendation of Councilman Johnston, of the fire and water com mittee, it was ordered that a light be put io front of the South Side Hose Co. house, and on recommendation of Councilman Clough, of the streets and public property committee, it was or dered that the oity pest house be leased to the present tenant. An ordinance was introduced by Councilman Gun olog entitled general ordinance No. 307, amending the ordi nance governing the organization of fire companies, so as to allow Colum bia Hose Co. No. 2 to take charge of the chemical engine and changing the name of the company to Columbia Hose & Chemical ' Engine Co. No. 2. The ordinance was placed on Its final passage and adopted. It was determined to sell the old hook and ladder truck to Mr. Long, representing the company from which the new truck was bought, for $50.

There are physicians who say in good faith to those whose lungs are worn by dis ease " It is impossible to help yon." And yet thousands of these impossibles have been helped and healed by Dr. R. V. Pierce whose "Golden Medical Discovery" has cured them, when the hollow cheek, the rasping congh, the burning flush, and night -sweats have all pointed to consumption. Ninety-eight out of every hundred such impossible cases can be cured says Dr. Pierce. What makes himj so sure ? Be cause he has been curing just such cases for more than thirty years.

Vwlt Her Esrsja in a Great Mound and the Heat of the Son Hatchea Them Out. The strangest bird known, bo far as Ite habits are concerned, is the mallee hen of Australia. It lays its eggs in a huge mound, which is really a coopera tive incubator, . being built by many pairs of birds, and serving to hatch the egga of all the bens. . tacn year tne same flocks repair to the same mounds, nome of which measure'50 yards at the base and are 150 feet in circumference The eggs are deposited about six inches below the surface. While each hen lays her eggs in the family mound, no hen drops her egg closer than 20 inches to that of her neighbor. These eggs are deposited in a cavity made by them in a vertical position, carefully covered, and the surface smoothed over by the hen before she quits the nest, says the Philadelphia Press. The eggs of the mallee hen are out of all proportion to her size. They are as large as those of a goose, and those of large hens are very much larger. The eggs thusflaidland covered in this jreat sand oven in the hot districts are never again disturbed by the hens. The iggB are hatched by the heat the aun bakes into the soil where they lay. It has never been known, how the young chicks are excavated from their egg crave, for the eggs are deposited fully six indies below the surface, and the hardening rains do not aid their exit rery much. PERSIANS LIKE CIGARETTES. The Shah'n Subject Are Said ta Be Batpldlx Acquiring- the Smokv-j-. lna; Habit. It appears that the smoking of& sxettes has of late years spread almost as rapidly in Persia as in this country, says the London Hail. Cigarette to bacco was first introduced as an ags ricultural product into the province of 3hilan in 1876. The sed was Imported from Samsoun, in Turkey,, and the in troduction of the plan b into the north ern province of Persia has had the effect of introducing the practice of cigarette smoking throughout the country. It has become so general that even the lowest peasant now goes about with a sigarette case and cigarette paper. Un til quite recent years only kalians, or nubble-bubbles, and chibouks, or long wooden pipes with red clay bowls, were used the former generally by the higb sr classes and the latter by the peas antry, laborers, mule drivers and other people constcntly on the move and, therefore, requiring a more portable apparatus. The chibouk has now been to a very large extent replaced by cig arettes, the tobacco for this purpose be ing cheaper than the Shiraz tumbekeo, which is required for Kalian and onv bouk.

Last Saturday Wilson and Brown Hired two norses oi Mr. Everett, a livery man at Dufur, pretending that they wanted to go after some horses they had in a pasture near The Dalles. In the afternoon Mr. Everetb learned that they were going toward Deschutes bridge, and before reaching Nansene bad offered to trade one of the horses to James Moore. Mr. Everett notified Sheriff Kelly, by telephone and re quested that he look after the men, who were headed south. The sheriff at once telephoned to his deputy in Antelope, Dell Howelljto bold himself in readiness to go In pur suit of the horsethieyes as soon as they should cross Shearer's bridge, and also telephoned to Mrs. Shearer to notify blm of their arrival there. About six o'clock in the evening he was notified by Mrs. Shearer shat they had passed, and he at .once telephoned Howell to come this way and undertake to inter cept them if possible. Howell came to Dead Dog that night, and by daylight next morning was on the road. Arriv ing at Davis' place he found his men. And after they had eaten their break fast he informed them they were his prisoners. Brown went for his pistol, a 32-calibre American bulldog, and started to run, but Deputy Howell's 44 presented too threatening an ap pearance and tie gave up. Howell had only one pair of handcuffs so he put them on Brown, who seemed to be the worst man of the two, and put the men on their horses, which he tied to gether, and started for The Dalles, making them ride ahead. Arriving at Shearer's bridge,he left the two prison ers, still on their horses, In charge of two men and went inside the bouse to telephone Sheriff Kelly of the arrest. No sooner was he inside than the prisoners put spurs to their horses and started back over the road they had come. Howell, as soon as he was notified, gave chase, but they were out of range of his pistol before he could bring It to bear upon them, and a liyely chase took place up the moun tain. ' Mr. Howell overtook them about two miles from the bridge, when Wilson dropped off his horse and be gan picking up rocks with which to resist (he officer, but tbe 44 that quelled Brown in the morning was more than he could resist, and the two men consented to accompany the deputy back to the bridge. There Mr. Howell again telephoned to the sheriff, and was instructed to hire a team and driver, handcuff the prisoners togethor, tie their other hands behind their backs and bring them to The Dalles. This Mr. Howell did and ar rived here at 12 o'clock last night. Mr. Howell had a description of Wilson and Brown, who are wanted by tbe Portland police for a number of holdups In that city, and are the men who escaped from the police about ten days ago by jumping out of their boarding house window and were shot at several times while making their escape. He recognized them when he found them at Mr. Davis' place and realized that be was encountering two desperate characters. When they were brought to the jail they stoutly denied their identity and when Sheriff Kelly asked them which one was the man who was shot (be having been notified by the Portland chief of police that Wilson was shot in the (fracas with the police) tbey in sisted that neither of them was Injures but on exami notion It was discovered that Wilson had three gunshot wounds on his body, one through the calf of the right leg, one through tbe fleshy part of bis right arm between tbe shoulder and elbow, and one entering the back just below the left shoulder blade and lodging in the point of left shoulder. Dr. Logan was called this morning and remoyed the bullet from Wilson's shoulder and dressed his other wounds. He said that from ap pearances the wounds had been in' fllcted a week or ten days ago, hence it is quite evident Wilson was one of the parties shot by the Portland police while escaping. Another evidence that they are the men wanted in Port land is that when ar,ested they had six or seven watches on them which they threw into Deschutes river when Deputy Howell brought them across tbe bridge. One of the watches was a heavy gold, open face gentleman's watch and another was a small lady's watch either silver or nickel. The other watches Mr. Howell did not ex amine. Certainly Sheriff Kelly and Deputy Howell deserve much credit for the effi cient work they did in capturing these crooks, as do all tbe people along the line who assisted In conveying mess ages and giying information as to their movements. Wilson and Brown are both ex-con' victs, having been sent from here to the penitentiary for two yearo each at the November, 1897, term of circuit court, tbey having plead guilty to robbing or attempting to rob a lot of Indians In the suburbs of The Dalles They were discharged from the pen itentiary on September 25th last, and since that time until the past few days had been operating in Portland. Tbe police oi that city believe tbey were engeged in a number of holdups and robberies. They are a bad pair, and it is indeed fortunate that they' have been Intercepted.

NIpher has recently meas ured the frictional effect of moving trains upon the air near them, reports the Scientific American. His appar atus consisted of a hemispherical cup, which he could fix at distances up to 30 Inches from the window of a railway carriage. The mouth of this collector was turned toward the direction in which the train was moving at the time of observation, and the pressure due to the motion was conveyed to a pressure gnage by means of an India rubber tube attached to the back of the collect ing cup. The results) obtained showed that a large amount of air is dragged along with a rapidly moving train, the motion being also communicated to air many feet away. The air not only pos sesses sufficient power to cause one to topple over, but it also communicates a spinning motion, tending to roll a per son under the train if the nature of the ground does not prevent such a result, Edncate Tour Bowels With Cascarets.
