HOW TO FIND OCT.
Fill a bottle or oommon glass with
urine and let It stand twenty-four hours;
a sediment or settling indioates an un
healthy condition of ihe kidneys. When
urine stains linen it is evidenoe of kid
ney trouble. Too frequent desire to uri
nate or pain in the baok, is also convino
ing proof that the kidneys and bludder
are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
Tbere is oomfort in tbe knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmnr'a
Swamp-Boot, the great kidney remedy
fulfils every wish in relieving pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every
pa'rt of the urinary passages. It oor
reots inability to hold urine and soald
ing pain in passing it, or bad effects fol
lowing use of liquor, wine or beer, and
overcomes that unpleasant necessity of
bein j compelled to get np many times
during the night to urinate. The mild
and the extraordinary effect of Swamp
root is soon realized. It stands tbe
highest for its wonderful cures of the
most distressing oases. If you need a
medicine you should have tbe best. Sold
by druggists, price fifty cents and one
dollar. Ton may have a sample bottle
and pamphlet both sent free by mail.

FOUR LIVES LOST.
reanni uaUMtronhe at Willametta Paiia
Only One Man Baved Out of a Boat Load
or Dive-lure. Were Heads of Families.
Oregon City, Feb. 8. In tbe thunder
ing waters of the Willamette falls four
men were swept to death . at a few min
utes past 7 o'clook this morning. Con
msea in tne dense bank of fog while
crossing the river in a boat a short dis
tance above Oregon City and while try.
iog to find tbeir bearings, the mighty
current seized tbe craft and burled it to
destruction.
mve men started on Ihe maddenina
ride to what seemed inevitable death but
one miraculously eeosped. He was a!
mosi insensible from the shook and
oould not have held out a minute longer
when he was pioked up by tbe resouers,
who got out in time to see tbe boat ao
over tbe falls.
inree ot tbe viotims of the aocideot
were members of the same family. All
were employee of tbe Crown paper mills,
at Oregon City. They were residents of
Canemab, and were on their way to work.
Tbe lost are:
Geo. Freeman, 50 years old, of Cane
mab; married.
George and James Freeman, his sons,
26 and 16 years old respectively.
L. J. Shannon, 3fi years old.ofCaue
mab; married and leaves a wife and four
ohildren.
LOST IN THE Foa.
For years George Freeman and bis
tons bave worked at tbe paper mills on
tbe west side of tbe river. The trip to
and from their daily labor has been
made by bout from tbe village of Oana
mab over on tbe east side. The Free
man boys and 8hannon are thoroughly
acquainted with the river, and it was a
remarkable thing that tbe fateful tog
this morning deoeived them.
Shortly before 7 tbe five men met as
usual at tbeir embarking point. Free
man senior was at the oars. He rowed
along the usual oonrse and beaded for
tbe west bank of the river. It probnbiy
am not occur lo tbe occupants of the
boat that tbe Willamette bad been rising
very rapidly since Sunday, and it is sup
posed the current carried the boat far
ther than they ansrectod bofore tbe dis
oovery was made that something was
wrong. Id tbe dense fog it was not pos-
sible lo looate familiar signs, and in that
gray mist tbe men bad no warning but tbe
ominous, sullen roar of the falls as tbey
drew nearer and nearer tbe most danger
ous point.
Suddenly tbe cherry chat of tbe boys
was interrupted. The boat gave a wild
lurob as tbe main torrent struck it. lo
tbe same instant all five of the men dis
covered that tbey were far bal it kha
oanal point of crossing and that lbs
powerful current was carrying tbem
down at a velocity that increased every
second. Additional baud were put to
tbe oars and an attempt was made to
pull out of tbe swirliog, rusbioa stream.
Iiut U was too late. It was but a balf
momnnt later that tbe launch Dlonued
into the churning waves of tbe upper
falls. Tbe boat was oauubt ami whir 1.4
around. One oar was torn from tbe
rower's baods, and then tbe craft shot
ahead, straight through tbe middle our
rent to tbe yawning gulf below.
Till Klla TO DEATH.
Io wild despair each man clung to tbe
plunging craft in tbe rapids, -Lion
wept it along at (lores train speed.
Tbe oooupaots of tbs boat begun to
boot an alarm. Tbeir on reached the
ears of some of tbe employes at tbe
power station of tbs Portland Oen.ral
Electric works. Iio.biog out oo lbs
trestle work, wbiob runs into tbe shore,
in.ycouia josi discern tbe outlines of
tbe boat containing several men.
A general alarm was th.o giv.o. A
boat put out from the eUctrio works,
but it was some time before tbe resetters
could see anything of Ihe Ill-fated party.
ibere was little hope of seeing either
tbe boat or its oooupaoL. Tbe rescuer
rowed around tbe big tdJiee to Ibe west
aide of tbe liver.
Muffled or la o.umJ tueu to row to
ward tbe bank. Tbere tbey ssw an up
tura.d boat slowly drifting abonl. Harry
freeman bad just sorambled on to tbe
bank, and lay there completely exhaus
ted. Almost his first words upon reviving
sufficiently to be able to speak, were:
"There's somebody under tbe boat."
With that the young man again col
lapsed. The resourera' boat was put out again
toward tbe overturned boat, which had
been considerably battered io tbe dash.
When it was righted, however, there was
no one there.
Later, Harry Freeman revived and
tated that be had left a man clinging
underneath and tbat he had ihouted
onoe or twioe for help. In hisexhartst-H
oondition, he said, it was impossible for
him to tell whether it was one of bis
brothers or Shannon. From tbe suviv
or's statements, it is evident that three
of the party were flung out in the dash
over the falls. The other two got
through, but tbe man oaught under the
boat oould not hold out longer, and
sank lo bis death in tbe eddying waters,
where he could easily have swam ashore
had be been released.
The surviving member of tbe party
was removed to a house near by, where
restoratives were applied. The fright-
rui experience of tbe yoting man made
him almost incapable of speaking coher
ently. He oould soaroely remember bow
it happened and in the blinding mists
he oould not see tbe rest. He remem
bered tbe shouts of his father, as the
boat made the leap. When it reached
oalm water again there was no one lo be
seen.
in me present high water it is not
probable tbat tbe bodies of tbe drowned
men will be reoovered. The Willamette
is rising rapidly. It is now 10 feet above
low water.

European

or
Oar Eastern Policy.
flew York, Feb. 8--"Tbe United
States is more of a factor io the came of
international politics wbiob is now in
progress over affairs in tbe East than is
generally understood. All tbs great
European powers are seeking to asoer
tain toe attitude of this oountry In Ibe
great Eastern problem, and until that is
known tbere will be no move on tbe io
roroBiionai ooessooard. This country
thus baa a oommanding position in tbe
big fight that is going on, andbysbrswd
diplomacy ought to be able to obtain
almost any concessions in tbs East that
are desired "
mi
iue.s remarks were made lo tha
Washington correspondent of tbs Her
ald last night by one of tbe oldest mem
bers of the diplomatio corps in Wash
ington, a man whose country o oca Dies a
neulral position in regard to the East
ern question, during tbe oourss of ao
interview on tbe general situation as he
views it through unbiased spectacles.
"There can be no doubt," this diplo
mat oontipued, "that the great European
powers are planning for further acquisi
tions or territory In tbe East. Hoi
much farther tbey will go depend, in i
large measure upon Ibe position of thi

A CUBAN RESOLUTION
Senator Mason Would Authorize the Presl.
dent to Interfere In the Cuban War.
Washington, Feb. 9. Senator Mason,
of Illinois, today presented tbe follow
ing resolution:
"Resolved, That tbe president of Ibe
United States is authorized and Is here
by requested to notify Spain and the in
Burgents of Cuba tbat the war (so-oalled)
must at onoe oease and be discontinued
and that the United States of Amerioa
hereby deolare and will maintain peaoe
on Ihe island of Cuba." The resolution
was preceeded by the following pre
amble: "Whereas, War between Spain and
the insurgents of Cuba has continued
until all Christendom is shocked by its
barbarities, pretended autonomy hsa
beeo offered by Spain and refused by
Cubans in arms, the Spaniards as a war
measure have burned tbe homes' and
drove tbe women and ohildren into forti
fled lowns, where some of them have
been starved, others murdered and
women and ohildren have been de
bauobed and treated beyond tbe power
ot language lo desoribe; the daughters
of the insurgent soldiers bave beeo sold
into houses of infamy and boys of tender
years bave been ebot as spies under Ihe
form of civilized war; American citizens
have been driven into towns and refused
an opportunity to work and left to staive
as pari of a Spanish war measure until
we are oompelled to take by approDri-
ating funds of the people of tbe United
States large sums of money to feed and
olothe our oitizeos and to return thm
to our oountry, and now the Spanish
war measure ot concentration baa con.
tinned so tar that tbe oonoentradoea ara
unfed and starving, naked and filthy, in-
eomnoh that disease and death is among
them and has spread into our oountry.
Hundreds of thousands bave perished In
this way and by this means. The nn.
holy work of extermination goes on, and
the slaughter of innooents and non.
combatants goes on. The flag of truoe
has been abandoned Bad externa
nation or the independence of the in
surgents must be the final outooms. Tha
people of the United States are sending
money and food and olothing to Cuba to
aid the dying which ought to be fur
nished by Spain for the reason tbat tbe
oonoentradoea are the legitimate ward
of Bpain, having been put io tbeir pres
ent condition, and as a Spanish war
measure their care would devolve upon
