GILLMORB'S PAUTY.
Story of tho Experiences of Captured Men of
tbe Yorktowo.
Manila, Dec. 1 Wben tbe landing
party of tbe United States battleship
Oregon, under Lieutenant Commander
MoOracken took the town of Vigan, pro
vinoe of Saath Iloooe, last 8aoday, they
foand there an eeeaped prisoner, A. L.
Sonnenshine, who furnished the Bret
sutbentio aooouut of tbe experience of
Lieutenant J. G. Gillmore of tbe United
States gunboat Yorktowo, whiob with a
party of tbe Yorktowo, was captured by
the Insurgents near Baler on tbe east
ooast of Luzon last April, while making
so examination of the mouth of the river
in an armed boat. Soonensbein was im
prisoned tor a long time at Abra with
Lieutenant Gillmore and sevn sailors,
bat contrived to escape, carrying a con
cealed note, written in naval cipher,
dated Abra, Nov. 9, addressed to any
naval offioer and saying:
"You may have perfeot confidence in
anything tbe bearer says."
Tbe note was signed "Gillmore."
Aocording to Mr. Snoensbein, when
Lieutenant Gillrnore's launch entered
tbe river from Baler harbor, under cover
of Ensign W. H. Standley's gun, the
landing was reoeived with three volleys.
Two of tbe Americans were killed and
two mortally wounded. Every man was
hit, Lieutenant Gillmore receiving a
flesh wound in tbe leg and both bis feet
stuck fast in tbe mud. It was ohoioe
between sarreoderiug and being
slaughtered. Lientenont Gillmore asked
lbs terms of release. Tbe insurgents
proposed that be should procure tbe
delivery to them of tbe arms and muni
tion of the Spanish garris o, uadartHk
iog if this were aooomplished to send tbe
Spaniards and Americans to the York
town.
A sailor of ijientenant Gillmore' party
oarried this note to the garrison. Tbe
Spanish oommuuder replied that it was
an insult to Spauish arms and expelled
tbe traitor, a Spanish soldier firing at
him as be went.
Tbe Amerioans were bound band and
foot and taken to Sun Isaclro, where Gen
eral Luna ordered their exeontion. They
were marched to the plaza and In tbe
presence of a great orowd were aligned
to be executed. Lieutenant Gillmore
sai l: "As au Amerioan officer and gen
tleman I protest being shot with my
bands tied.". Agninsldo interfered and
prevented the execution.
Wben General Lawton approached
Isidro last June the Americans were re
moved to Abrn, where they were kept
oonfined in cells for two months. Sub
sequently tbey were allowed greater
liberty, but tbe report that Lieutenant
Gillmore was giveo a bouse and servant
is untrue, lie bad tbe same quarters as
the m-n and tbe Amerioans were given
tbe same allowaooe as the Spanish
prisoners five cents a day with which
to buy rioe aud bananas virtually tbe
only rations.

COLD WEATHER A GOOD TONIC,
Ke pairs Injuries Done to tbe System by the
Heat of Summer.
Spokesmsn-Revlew
Many persons regard the winter season
as an unfortunate visitation, says tbe
St. Louis Globe-Demoorat, it ie consid
ered both uncomfortable to the body and
harmful to health. The is an error.
Cold is a most potent agent for tbe re
storation and preservation of normal
activity on the part of tbe organs of tbe
human . body, It is a wise plan of
Providence wbiob gives us a ohange of
seasons. The winter cohi comes as a
Ionic to repair the injuries done by the
enervating beat of summer. Summer,
it is true, has many wise uses in tbe
matter of health. It induces outdoor
copious perspiration and through tbe
soorobing rays of tbe sun destroys germ
life.
Winter is the groat braoor of tbo
system. It stimulates aotivity in every
orgau. Wbeu oold attaoks the surfucu
or tbe body the blood is set Into more
free circulation as a means of bodily
warmth. It is through the circulation
of the blood (but tbe human anatomy is
kept in a state of repair. When the food
has been digested and oonverted into
liquid form it is taken up by the blood
and carried the rounds of the system for
the purpose of repairing the waste plaoes.
Wben tbe oold causes increased oironla
tion it also brings bbcmt more perfeot
uutritioo.
Through inoreased demaud for nutri
ent matter whiob quickened oiroulation
causes there is improved digestion, Tbe
entire repair maohiuery is stimulated to
renewed industry.
Wintry air, as is well known, brings
witb it a sense of renewed strength and
vitality. The restorative power of oold
is well illustrated in tbe oase of tbe dash
of cold wutur in tbe face of a fainting
person. Wben a person is in a faint
there is a practical suspense of life for
tbe time, yet an applioation of cold
water to the faoe iromptly restores cir
culation and renews lite. This same
laot is illustrated by tbe oold fnoe bath
on rising from bed in the morning. The
Indians, who, it not now, roamed our
western borders, praotioally without
clothing to shelter their bodies, beoame
through long exposure, so inured to tbe
oold that it gave tbem but little disoom
fort. Man's fano and bands illustrate bow
weatherproof tbe body b( comes when
exposed to tbe air. Continued activity
in circulation on the surface, caused by
tbe air coming in contoot witb tbe skin,
tends to nourish and thicken the skin.
Thus man's skin grows thicker iu winter,
just as animals are supplied with a
double ooat of fur to resist tbe oold,
ben spring time returns man's skin be-
oomes thin and tbe animal sheds its top
ooat of for. The savages who dtel!
bareheaded in tbe open air are seldom,
If ever, known to be n Alio ted with bald
heads, while, witb tbe civilian who
shields bis soalo from tbe air, baldness
i prevalent. A sure preventive of dip
tberia, oronp and similar maladies
among children is to bring about snob
vigorous circulation and vitality tbrongb
means of cold baths, as will render tbi
children immune from tbe attacks of tbe
geiras which cinse these diseases.
THE MOKPHINR HABIT.
IrfgleUtlnn Proposed to Kent riot the Hprcad
of the Evil.
Dr T. D. Orntbers has startled the
medioal profession as well ss the public
by making a statistical report concern
ing the history of more than 3000 phy
sicians of the Middle and Easter states,
21 per ceut of whom were using spirits
or oDi'um to excess. From this report
Dr. Crothers deduces the alarming gen
eral inferences that at least from 6 to 10
per cent of all medical men are opium
inebriates. If physicians, knowing ss
they do the dreadful consequences of
morphinism, become addicted to tbe ex
cessive use of narootics, every possible
mean of preventing tbe laymen from
acquiring the baneful habit should be
put in foroe. Dr, Crothers estimates
tbat there are in the United States from
100,000 to 153,000 opinmists; that from
narootios, and nentrio diseases is at
tributable to these oausea. Morphia
omania leads to hysteria, melancholia,
aonte mania and soioide. It is proposed
to restriot tbe spread of morphinism by
agitation for the enforcement striotly
snd uoeqnivooably of tbe existing stat
utes framed to make tbe procurement of
opiates well Digb impossible, except by
physicians' prescriptions in the event of
illness. It is suggested tbat through
legislative enactment official inspectors
sball be appointed whose duty it shall
be to visit all apothecaries and see tbat
tbs penal bearing upon the illegal sale
of narcotic poisons ii enforoed Societies
should also be formed for tbe purpoie of
scouring ibdigent habitues admittance
Into institutions where osrootomioia
is scientifically treated. Htatistins from
two leading inebriate hospitals testify to
the rmedion! iuflnencs of medicinal aod
hygienio treatment. Out of 3000 cases
treated there 38 per eeot remained sober
sfter the lapse of periods of from seven
t'i ten years.

BATTLE OP MODDER RIVER.
Details or the Bloodiest Straggle of the
Century.
East Oreeonlan.
London, Deo. 4-The Duly Cbrooiole
published a dispatch from a correspond
ent at Modder River describing tbe en
gagement of Tuesday last. The battle
waged fiercely for nearly fourteen hours.
Tbe battle started at daybreak, our guns
shelling tbe Boer's left. Tbe enemy
replied with artillery. Tbe infantry
advanced aoross tbe plain toward tbe
river in two brigades. Tbe guards on
tbe right were met by an awful hail of
bullets from the enemy's sharpshooters.
Ours had no oover whatever and were
simply mowed down. Tbe Boer fire was
horribly aoourate. The Scott's guards
advanced six hundred yards before they
were fired on. Then tbey had to lie
down to esoape tbe deadly fusilade
which lasted without intermission
throughout tbe day. The highlanders
were exposed to suoh a murderous fusi
lading fire that tbey had to retire after
tbey bad suffered terribly. Subsequently
a party of guards got over the river and
held their own tor hours against a vastly
superior foroe. Tbe general opinion of
the staff is tbat there never bas been
such sustained fire in tbe annals of tbe
British army as the troops bad to faoe
yesterday. Our men fell in dozons while
trying to rusb the bridge. British guns
kept up a heavy fire all day and fearful
havoo was wrought on the Boer posi
tions, tbe enemy being forced to fly from
their entrenohments. The Boers re
treated et night, taking their guns with
them. Tbe enemy's loss was tremendous.
HIGH WOOL AND BEEP.
Eastern Oregon Steers Sell for Seventy Dol
lars Apiece.
Morning Oregonian.
Tendlbton, Or., Nov. 26 At $70
apiece for steers and 15 cents a pound
for wool, Eastern Oregon livestock men
are uot troubling themselves about com
binations of buyers. If snob combina
tions are controlling prices, then stock
men hope the buyers will form a rock
ribbed truBt and stick to their mutual
agreements.
Jas. Mollaley, of Grant Oounty, had on
band tbe entire wool dips from bis band
for 1897, 1898 and 1899. He had stub
bornly refused to sell, in 1697, when he
was offered 7 oents per pound for his I
mountain, nigo-enruiKage wools, but de
cided to hold for better prioea. He held
over until 1898, and out another dip,
whiob be plaoed in tho warehouse along
side tbe 1897 wool, and again waited.
Tbe year 1899 came, and be onoe more
removed tbe wool from bis sheep, aod
put that in the warehouse and held it.
Wool crept upwards, and Mollaley
watohed it asoend witb considerable sat
isfaction. He bad 101.793 pounds of tbe
stuff, sod finally sold it for 15 oents a
pound to Silbermao Bros. Mr. Mo
Haley figures up his profit on holding
the wool at just 87500 No other wool
is known of here as unsold in all of
Eastern Oregon.
Robert Slanfleld, a oattle-raiser of the
Eoho country, this oounty, bas disposed
of a lot of oaltle at a price said to be tbe
highest price ever reoived by a Umatilla
county stockman siooe the country was
settled. Oscar Thompson, of Moorow
oounty, also sold to the same buyer, at
tbe same prioe. They contracted with a
Seattle firm for tbe delivery of about
150 bead eeoh at b) cents a pound ou
tbe hoof. This will make each steer
bring $70. Kaob seller will receive
about $8500 for tbe little bunoh of steers
be turns over to the Seattle people.
TO OPEN THE B1VEU.
Hortugo HohiI at The Dulles Is Under Con
struction. Muob of tbe mystery about the opera
tions of railway auveyors on tbe nortb
bank of the Middle Colombia since early
in tbe year is dispelled by tbe resump
tion of oonstruotion work on what Is
known as tbe Paul "Mohr portage road,
between Columbus a point on the river
bank opposite Grants, and Crates point,
or tbe big eddy, three miles above tbe
city of Tbe Dalles. The purpose of this
portage road is to transport freight past
The Dalles of the Columbia, wbiob is an
unnavigable stretch of tbe river ab ut
20 miles long, to oonneot witb steam
boats above and below. It is said tbat
the portage will add only about 5 oents
a ton to tbe ooat of transporting grain,
wbiob would not be an appreciable fac
tor in getting Ibe produoe of tbe interior
to tidewater.
Several years ago work was begun on
this portage road, and two or three miles
of rails were laid in the end. Since then
tbe enterprise bas languished. This
year activity was again manifested, and
io tbe past week numerous crews have
bean put put at work on tbe line and
tbe road, it is said, will be ready for
operation in a few months.

OREGON BEATS THE WORLD.
The following clipping was taken from
a reoenl issue of tbe American Sheep
Breeder, and explains itself:
"Editor American Sheep Breeder: I
send sample of Ootswold wool, not an
unusual sample. How muoh ahead of
this is Kentucky wool. I saw in a late
number of tbe breeder that Kentnoky
could beat tbe world in producing long
wool. I doot believe ebe oan beat tbe
Willamette valley of Oregon. This
sample is from a ooming yearling, and
about twelve months growth. Our
climate and feed are particularly adapted
to the long wool breeds. They shear
heavy twenty to thirty pound fleeoes
being not unusual, and lambs reaobed
200 pounds at or before a year old, with
out grain or other special feeding. We
bave or oan have tbe best of green feed
tbe year round wheat in winter and
rape ia summer. Don't let np on the
rape. There is nothing like it, especi
ally for naked summer fallow Jo. B.
Stomp, Monmouth, Oregon,
Ans, As to the editorial note on
Kentucky Cotewold wools as tbs finest
of the kind in tbe world, we were quite
right, so far as the sample records go,
but the thirteen-lncb sample of twelve
months Cotswold lambs wool was a
revelation. Nothing in the Cotswold
fleeoe line ever reaobed this offioe thf.t
was at all comparable witb it, either s
to fineness aod softness of finer and brill
enoy of luster, Indeed, we should not
have been surprised if tbe sample bad
come from Mr. O. P. Bailey of Sbu Jose,
Cal., snd marked pure-bred Angora.
You are ahead, Bro. Stump, and we
yield tbe palm to tbe Willamette Valley,

Denver for Years.
Dbnvbb, Nov. 30 The reoord prioe ou
range beef oattle for the present year,
and probably for tbe past fifteen years,
was made in Denver today, wben a bunch
of twelve Hereford steers, born and
raised in Nortb Park, Colo., was sold by
Clay, Robinson k, Co. to tbe Colorado
Packing company for $5 75 per 100 lbs.
Tbe steers averaged a weight of 1552
pounds eaob, and brought the owners
$89.25 each. They were bred from range
cows and registered Hereford bulls, and
were three and four years of age. Tbey
were bred by Monte Blevins of North
Park, Colo., and were tbe property of
bis ohildreo. Tbe highest prioe re
corded this year on grass-fed oattle was
$5.50 paid in Cbioago reoently. The
prioe paid here will be equal to $6 per
100 pounds in Chicago. This is tbe
highest prioe paid for range oattle any
where siooe 1882. The steers in question
were fattened on the range, aod have
never eateo anything but bay and grass.
