FROM FRIDAY'S DAILY.
Caih Box Food. Yesterday morn
ing, while Walter Toote and Alfred Ive
were journeying from Butteville to Wood
tmrn, and when arrivec at the farm of
Mr. Nickmiller, about two miles north of
Woodburn, the latter stopped them, and
called them to witness a cnrious find he
had made. Hie three gentlemen went
to a lence corner next to the road, and
there saw a heavy iron box, which had
evident lr belonged to some safe, broken
open and abandoned. A hatchet belong
ing to Mr. NickmilW was foand near the
box, which had evidently been .used in
breaking open the box.' It was while
searching for this hatchet that the box
was discovered. Investigation of contents
of the box, connoting of documents, re
ceipts, etc., revealed the fact that it was
the property of Messrs. Nathman & Man
gold, of (iervais, where the safe was rob
bed last fill, and the iron box ab
stracted therefrom. It had long been a
mystery what had lieeorne of the box, and
every conceivable hiding place around
(iervais had been searched. The fact
that the box wax taken so far indicates
that there were several parties connected
with the burglary. This is the robbery
in which tlte man Yates, imprisoned in
jail here, Hays he ran implicate Clayton,
in jail in Portland, charged with
the Allen & lwi burglary. This last
discovery may be another link in the
cl a n of evidence which Yates is endeav
oring to forge against his former partner
Clayton.
Pleasant St khu.sk 1'ajcty. Wednes
day night -a number of friends of Mr. and
Mrs. F. A. (Jilbert broke in ujion them
at their residence on the corner of Mar
ion and Cottage streets, and took posses
sion of the house. The host and hostess
were taken completly by surprise, but
they nevertheless made it pleasant for
iheir unhidden gue-Ls. The evening was
pasw-d in cards, 'lancing, winging, games,
etc. At the prot:r hour irvfreslimentfl
which the guents had brought with thfin
were produced and diussi w::i relish.
There were present Mr. nn1 ..,. Kugene

Nki.i.ie IJovn. To-night Nellie I5oyd
apjiears at the ojs-ra h-jiiw in "Un
known," and be morrow night in "Pas
sion's Have." The Albany Herald says
of her jierfoniMfice Wednesday night at
that place: "The Nellie lloyd coiup.wiy
in their opening play of " Unknown" last
evening were greeted by a good audience.
The company is a strong one ami made
themselves particularly pular laid
night, many passages heing encored.
Mis lloyd, who exhibited some clever
acting, ha gmsl tipirt, Clarence Wil-
kiua U-ing an actor of much power, ami
was pronounced by many as an eyi,il to
Nellie lloyd. Tliere is enough of gen
uine comedy if)ter;ersed with the tragic
to nuke the play most entertaining. To
night the company will present the spec
tacular play 'Passion' Have, introduc
ing some of their finest scenery."
Ii-t ii AkoKO rH Lac k op Jikikok
tios. Wednesday in the United States
circuit court the in li'-t mcnts against Wil
terwood, Myers, and several others, were
dismissed. These parties were indicted
for allegd participation in the expulsion
of Chinese from Alhina. Mount Tabor,
anil Oregon City. The indictments were
based npon the kuklux act passed by
congress to secure for the frecdmen their
civil rights and to prevent them from le
ing intimidated. The cause of the dis
missal of the indictments is a recent de
cision of the supreme court of the United
States, which declares that United
States courts have no jurisdiction in cases
of assault on Chinese. That such cases
are in the jurisdiction of state courts
alone.
Sitrkme Cot ut Clerk. It was ex
jected that before this time tke new
clerk of the supreme court would be ap
pointed, but for soiue reason the new ap
pointee has not leen named. L. Uilyeu,
of lauie county, whose chances for the
place have heretofore been considered
excellent, has given up the race it is
said, and withdrawn from the held, be
cause he found the olds too heavily
against him. Judge Strahan wanted Mr.
Hdyeu, but he could not bring Judge
Thayer to the same way of thinking. The
l.tsu-r wants his sen, Claude, now of Tilla
mook ce-unty. It is likely that the demo
cratic judges may not le able to agree
Usn a man, tor a while at leact. When
they do, they will submit his name to
Judge Lord, and if the latter has no ob
jections, the appointment will be made.
The Salvationists, When news is an
esjecially scarce article, the reporter can
get even on the too quiet public by writ
ing up the Salvation armv. This is to
certify that that organization is about as
powerful as ever, and that their nightly
torchlight rocession is an imposing
aflair. Several members of the army
havs backslidden lately, but their places
are rapidly tilled by raw recruit. The
gang of youths who follow the procession
'.around the streets and join in the pinging
do not add any to the harmony of the
music. The hall of evenings is still
crowded, and interesting meetings are
held, the hoodlums sometimes taking
charge of the exercises, and running
things to suit themselves. On the whole,
the Salvation army ha become a fixture
in Salem.
DiaoLAirtr at Ecoesk. An attempt
was made to burglarise the residence of
U. M. Miller, in Eugene, Wednesday
morning, about two e'clock. Mr. Miller
was absent, being down on the Siualaw,
and two boys were stopping in the bouse.
The burglars first attempted to make an
entrance through a second story window,
itemubf!byUM, they del
cended the Ladder op which they had
climbed and went to the door where they
were met by the boys and several ahoU
Sfte'lrJ?0' r known
without effect. Daring the excitement
the burglar made their escape. Officers
were sect north and south on the railroad
track, but have not returned yet.
SUNDAY SCHOOL C05YE5TI05.
The Proceeding of the Second and
Principal Day of the State
Sunday School Convention.
The second day of the State Sunday
school convention began in the Presbyte
rian church at 9 a. m. After discussing
state, county, and local work, E. G.
Wheeler, international 8anday school
secretary for the northwest, ably showed
"bow to teach next Sunday's lesson."
Mrs. Wheeler formed a class of little
ones from the audiencef and illustrated
her method of primary teaching. Many
other practical subjects w ere well venti
lated The officers chosen lor the ensu
ing year are E. W. Allen, president;
Rev. J. Q. A. Henry, vice president;
Jesse Ilooaon, secretary; J: K. Gill,
treasurer; executive committee, -Dr. G.
V. Gray, Revs. J. Hoberg, II. V. Ro
minger, E. Russ, J. W. Webb; delegates
to the International S. S. convention,
Mr. and Mrs. E. G. Wheeler, Mr. and
Mrs. E. W. Allen. Next place of meeting,
Albany, ou second Tuesday in March.
The President, Itev. T. II. Henderson,
and Dr. Gray, were appointed a commit
tee to consult with the spe :ial secretaries
for Oregon and W. T. about consolidating
the Chautauqua work and having a joint
S. S. assembly in the summer. A state
8. 8. Primary Teachers' Association was
organized with Mrs. K. U. Vt heeler,
president, Miss Kate Reynolds, secre
tary. At night the church was crowded to
overflowing. After a prayer service by
Rev. M. L. Rugg and Rev. F. P. Tower,
and two admirable solos by Miss llallie
Parrish, Prof. Crowhurst,as fraternal del
egate from the State temperance alliance
and State amendment league, made a
logical and fervent appeal for co-opera
tion of all Sunday school workers in deter
mination to carry the prohibitory amend'
merit, next November. Senator J. W
Watts, of Yamhill, moved the following
resoluiions, which were earned by an
enthusiastic rising vote.
Whereas, The liquor traffic, by leading
many parents to intemperance and pov
erty, prevent tens of thousands of chil
dren in the United States from obtaining
the lienefitsof Sunday schools, and
Whereas, Ttie saloons are a inest
fearful and successful temptation to a
vast number ef bright boys who have
been Sunday school scholars, and who,
though falling into habits of drinking and
gambling in saloons, are led astray and
never lecome followers of Christ or mem
bers of His church ; therefore be it
Rksolvkk That we, the workers of
this State Sundav school conven
tion, would hail with joy
and thankfulness to God the
prohibition of the liquor tratlic. And
to this end we will pray and work, and
vote, where entitled to the franchise, for
the f tending prohibitory amendment to
tiie state constitution. And we urge all
interested in religion, morality, or the
general welfare of our beloved state to
use all honorable means to carry it by
as large a majority as possible, on the
Hth day of next November.
A unique and able lecture by Rev. R.
B. Wil worth closed a most successful and
well attended convention. It was an
nounced that be would shortly lecture in
the ojiera house on the prohibitory
amendment. A collection sufficient to
defray all exjs'nses was taken up.
Costly Kxpkrimext. Anthony Aus
tin, lately from the east, is an inventive
genius. He now lives with his cousin
near Albany. Tuesday he conceived the
idea of supplanting ordinary gunpowder
with giant powder in firearms. He first
tested the idea by putting a small charge
in a relating rifle. It worked so well
that, anxious to learn if giant powder had
the proper explosive force, he charged a
cartridge and nut it in a shotgun. Then
he tired, and learned what a fool he had
made of himself. When lie was able to
rise again and rub the powder out of his
eyes, be found that his gun had been de
molished and that he felt unwell. Gun
powder is good enough for him at the
present writing.
wa. .
hie .uii.i. kack. m Meanesuay a
numlier of workmen were engagad in re
pairing the dam in the mill race near the
oatmeal mills, and after working all day
they left, considering that there was no
more danger of the dam washing out.
Rut yesterday it was found that the dam
was in a worse condition than ever, and
so another lot of workmen had to be
started on the broken structure. The
water of the race has succeeded in wash
ing out the dirt from under the dam, and
it rushes through there with so much
force that no ordinary means will stop it.
It is projNieed to fill the orifice with
brush and rock.
Ti'kxfi) L h.se. Seven of the prison
ers who bave been confined in the county
jail for the past month on the charge of
peui larceny, were turned loose yesterday
by Sheriff Minto, their term of sentence
having expired. It would seem that
this gang of tramps has learned to fear
the authorities of Salem and Marion
county, because, as soon as released, they
struck out (or green fie ids and pastures
new. A better riddance Could not be
made. This reduces the number of pris
oners in the county jail to thirteen. An
otlier batch will be turned out in a few
days.
. Scholarship Granted. The county
court yesterday granted to 6.L Potter,
G. G. BroWrl and Linnie B. Lewis, schol
arships to the University at Eugene, they
having passe 1 the required examination
and received the recommendation of the
school superintendent. Messrs. Brown
f.d Potter are both former students of
the university. There are still three va
cant scholarships to that institution, only
seven out ot len neing occupied.
Death or W. M. Tubxcju Wm. M
Turner, an old newspaper man and a
prominent citizen of southern Oregon,
died at Jacksonville on Wednesday,
Mju-ch. 9. of cancer of the bowels. Mr.
Turner was formerly editor of the Orestm
Sentinel, and was well and favorably
known throughout the state. His death
has cast a deep gloom over the communi
ty tn which he lived. The funeral will
take dace to-day at 2 o clock.
DscxABATioy or IxTiimox. T. W
Riches yesterday declared his intention
of marrying Mary Hall, by taking out a
tnarriaze license from th oftu nf
. county clerk.

A Grateful TaAJCP A while ago,
when the weather was cold, a lady of
this city received a call from a tramp,
who "entered the osual plea of hunger,
and, as a part of his lunch, was given
several very nice cold biscuits, real old
fashioned " raised " ones, of generous
size. As butter was then thirty-five cents
per pound, the lady did not think it ne
cessary to spread them. Soon afterward,
a member of the family found the bis
cuits ranged in a row on the front porch.
If that tramp puts in an appearance at
that house again, he will find a reception
colder than the biscuits, or even than
the winter day on which he called. The
lady named is one whose heart is gener
ous in proportion to the size of her bis
cuits, but it is a little monotonous some
times to give a hot breakfast to a tramp,
particularly when they make daily calls.
Her fence is evidently marked with the
cabalistic signs that denote " good fare to
be had for the asking, and tramps made
welcome."
A Lecture. On Thursday night, the
members of Vanguard Assembly of
Knights of Lalsjr, with many other la
dies and gentlemen interested in the la
bor question, assembled to hear an ad
dress on "the relation of temperance to
labor," by Mrs. L. II. Additon, state W.
C. T. U. superintendent of that depart
ment of work. It proved to be a most
practical talk, not on any one line or bob
by, but covering many points. A good
plea was made for friendly relations be
tween the two great forces of capital and
labor, and for co-operation and arbitra
tion. The lecture was listened to with
deep interest, and Mrs. Additon may be
sure of a good audience when she again
hpeaki in Salem.
Convicted or Manslaughter. The
trial of K. W. James for the accidental
shooting of Mrs. Julia A. Newton, of Al
bina, February 10 last, was held before
Judge Stearns" Thursday. All there was
in the evidence was that James was fool
ing with a rifle, didn't know it was loaded,
pointed it towards Mrs. Newton, when it
accidentally discharged and killed her.
Jam.'S was present iu court with his wife
and child and his mother-in-law. He
was defended by John F. Caples, the
prosecution being conducted by District
Attorney McGinn. The case was given
to the jury at 5 o'clock, and after a delib
eration of twenty minutes they came in
with a verdict of guilty. A motion for a
new trial was tnade.
I.i iLnisu Notes. It looks as if Salem
will enjoy a building boom this year.
Many parties are talking of and planning
for putting up dwellings, both for their
own occupancy and for rent, and there
will 1 considerable brick laid in this
city between the first of April and the
time when the fall rains commence.
One party will build four bricks, in case
he can disose of certain other interests.
It is understood that a new brick yard
will be started north of the city in what
is called the Hayesville neighborhood,
and that this enterprise is encouraged by
prominent capitalists of Salem, with a
view to the using of some of the products
in the erection of buildings.
Again in Trouble. Two weeks aeo
Saturday night Daniel Stuart, a stone
cutter, fell off the railroad trestle bridge
over Couch lake and was drowned. One
legged Johnny Mooney reported to Po
liceman Markleroad, having witnessexl
the accident and testified at the coroner's
inquest that he saw Stuart, who was un
der the influence of liquor, fall from the
trestle. Somehow or other the authori
ties are of the opinion Mooney lied about
the matter and four davs ago arrested
him for jwrjury. What is expected to be
gained or learned by Mooney's arrest
has not been ascertained, as be has not
yet been arraigned.
Wants a Pension. Samuel Painter, of
the Waldo Hills, has made application to
the commissioner of jiensions for a pen
sion. Mr. Painter served in the Semi
nole war, which took place in Florida
ana Georgia in in.io and ls.v. lie re
ceived an injury in the leg, from the ef
fects ot winch be nas never entirely re
covered. It is necessary, in order to se
cure a pension, U procure two witnesses
to your injury, and Mr. Painter is having
some difficulty in finding any of his old
comrades. He knows where two only
reside one in Uropqua Valley and the
otner in California, nil brother and
brother-in-law.
Telegraph Orrtci at Tctccer. The
Western Union comnany has decided to
esubiisn a telegraph office at Turner, and
preparations for such establishment are
now being made. Ed. Farmer, who has
been connected with the mil company
there, and whose qualifications are such
that he will fill the position with cradit to
bimseu and satisfaction to the public,
has been appointed as the operator.
This office will truly fill m "long felt
want," Tamer having always been a
good rsilrosd and freight point, but never

ASH00TI5G AFFAIR.
George JL Wilson 8hot by John Baker
at Tnrncr--Tne Same old
Story.
Yesterdiv afternoon, while the usual
crowd of loungers was waiting at the de
pot at Turner for the arrival of the down
train, John Baker, accompanied by his
son Solon, entered Che building with a
horsewhip in his hand, and selecting
Geo. B. Wilson from the crowd, started
in to give him a thrashing. Wilson
tried to avail punishment and ran around
the room, pursued by his assailant, who
in the meantime had drawn a revolver
with his left hand. Wilson stopped and
turned around toward Baker, when the
latter fired at him, striking him just be
low the left shoulder and felling him to
the ground. The ball ranged upward
and lodged in the back upper part of the
shoulder. Baker was seized by bystand
ers and prevented from doing any further
i ' r l 11 I J . .1 , A m
aamage, u ne nan ueaireu uu ov.
soon as the train arrived, the wounded
man boarded it and, accompanied by a
friend, came to this city, where the bul
let was extracted, and the wound dressed
by Dr. Cusick. In conversation with a
Statesman reporter, Wilson talked freely
about the shooting, but was rather reti
cent about events leading to it. He
returned to Turner last evening, and will
be present to-day at the examination of
Baker.
Wednesday night there came dashing
down State street a horse covered with
foam and his rider bespattered with mud.
He stopped at the residence of Dr. Jes
sun and there found Dr. Carpenter, and
telling him hastily that a girl living near
Turner had taken poison, the two started
post haste back to the scene of the trag
edy. The doctor arrived in time to save
the life of the girl, but secrecy aa to the
circumstances of the case and the name
of the girl was enjoined upon him. Con
sequently a reporter who had heard that
a girl near Turner was poisoned and who
knew of the circumstance of the doctor
being summoned, was unable to trace
the circumstance any further.
The girl's name was Hattie Baker, and
she had tried to end her existence, uon
discovering that she would ere lor.g be
come, a mother. She had been the fi
ancee of Geo. Wilson, who about six
weeks ago ceased his attentions to her.
In despair over her miserable situation
she attempted to put an end to her life.
When her brothers found out how mat
ters stood, they came to Turner, hunted
np Wilson, and the above is the result.
Baker was taken before Justice Bleak
ney and wa bound over in .r0 bonds
to appear at his preliminary examination
to-day, at 1 o'clock. The bonds were
rompty furnished and the two brothers
i itched up their team and came to Sa
lem, where they secured the services of
an attorney for the examination to-day".
They were very reticent about theaffair,
and declined to make any statement to a
reporter. They said they considered
that they would t justified in their ac
tion when the facts were known. They
returned to Turner in the afternoon.
The iarties connected with the fracas
have always len highly respected in
Turner and surrounding country. Solon
and John Haker are the arms of Harrison
Baker, who has lived near Turner for
thirty years. His sons are soler and in
dustrious, and have never before been
involved in any serious difficulty. Wil
son has been living in Turner for some
time, and until recently has been work
in. in the mill there. He has been going
with Hattie liaker for the past eighteen
months, with the exception of the last
six weeks, as stated above. He also has
borne a good reputation, and that the
outcome of his attentions to Hattie Ba
ker would be a shooting scrape was the
last thing parties who knew them would
have thought. Residents of Turner and
vicinity are highly excited over the afjair,
and will watch with keen interest the
outcome of the case.
A Valuable Charm. A gentleman in
this city has received an Odd Fellows'
charm, set in gold, made from the same
piece of stone from whicli the cap stone
of the Washington monument was cut,
from James H. Mercer, now living in
Ohio, as a token of the latter's apprecia
tion of many favors extended to liim by
his friend while he (Mercer) was confin
ed in the penitentiary here. The charm
is a beautiful one, and is accompanied by
au affidavit that it is from the identical
cap stone of the Washington monument.
The recipient highly appreciates it.
Mercer has leen in the employ of
the Columbus buggy company of Colum
bus, Ohio, for the past year, and reports
that he is doing well.
Unknown. The Nellie Boyd combi
nation rendered this beautiful drama at
lleed's opera house last night to a good
house. The company with Miss Boyd is
a strong one, and the play was presented
in a most creditable manner. Miss
Boyd, as Bessie Merribright, did full
credit to her well merited and long sus
tained popularity. Clarence Wilkins, aa
the "Unknown." would really be hard
to beat, and in fact the support is excel
lent. The scenery is the best ever
presented here, without a dount. They
will play "Passion's Slave" to-night, and
deserve a packed house, which they will
no doubt have.
Lamp Explosion. On Thursday even
ing a lamp in the hallway of the residence
of Dr. Kisdon fell to the floor with
crash, and came near being the cause of
a disastrous conflagration. Parties who
were passing rushed in, picked np the
lamp and threw it out on to the sidewalk.
It exploded partially in the doorway,
throwing the oil over the doorposts, and
starting a fire. The -incipient conaagra
tion was smothered, however, before it
did much damage.
Arm ox. The Capitol Adventure will
sell the remainder of the Liggett stock,
consisting of scales, show cases, grocer
ies, paints. Tarnishes, wall paper, etc
Wiil.be sold at auction on Tuesday, March
lit, at 10 o clock am.
Mxmxu Koom Chaxoko. The place
of meeting of the Band of Hope has been
changed from the M. E. Church to the
W. C. T. U. rooms. Company B divis
ion will perform to-day at 2 o'clock. AU
cnuoren lnviieo.
FROM SUNDAY'S DAILY.
A SIisctrDEBSTAjrorko.1 There Is evi
dently a" misunderstanding with the
treasurers of the various counties which
rM raimlinrtMl in certain amounts bv
the late legislature, as to the intent cf
the act. The act states that tne coun
ties shall be credited with these amounts
on tr to be naid to the state treasurer
in the future. Several counties which have
lately paid the full amount of their taxes
before the state treasurer received notifi
Mtuui r,t thA na0tt of the act. and then
have claimed that they are entitled to
s a 1
reimbursement, are Ricking necause me
state treasurer does not send them the
coin. He has no power to pay out the
money, but simply to give credit o next
) ear's taxes for tile amount, or on this
year's, if they have not already been paid
in.
Pleasant Scrprisk Partt. Thursday
night a number of the friends of Miss
Belle Golden assembled at the residence
of Dr. Golden, on Liberty etreot, their
purpose being to surprise Miss Belle. A
pleasant evening was enjoyed by those
present, the guests being highly, enter
tained by the fair hostess. There were
present Ada Stapleton, Lulu Hirsch, Jes
sie Dalrymile, Maud Smith, Cora Smith,
Gertie Savage, Maggie Savage, May
Chapman, Kosa Johnson, Lulu Johnson,
Nellie Litchfield, Grace Parrish, Jessie
Stump, Kate Ladue, Myra Albert, Fan

Vandersal, George Waters.
Postponed. The examination of John
Baker for shooting George Wilson at
Turner, Friday, was postponed from 1
o'clock, yesterday, to Monday at 11
o'clock. II. II. Courtney will conduct
the prosecution, and J. J. " Skaw the de
fense. While there- is no doubt that
Baker was in the wrong in trying to' kill
his sister's seducer, the general opinion
is that although he will probably be
bound over, it mill be a hard matter to
find a jury which will convict him. The
sentiment of the people of Turner is
strongly in favor of Baker, and it will not
be easy to convince them that he ought
to be convicted.
Committed to the Asylum. A few
weeks ago a man named David Stickler
entered his wife's room at Pendleton and
attempted to kill her by stabbing her.
He then cut his own throat, with sui
cidal intent, but he failed to accomplish
his purtiose in killing either his wife or
himself. Stickler was imprisoned in the
jail and for some time was in bad condi
tion, and recovered sufficiently to ex
amined as to his sanity. Friday night he
was brought down from Pendleton by
Deputy D. K. Taylor and son, and com
mitted to the asylum. The patient was
so weak from loss of blood that he hsd to
be carried. He will probably soon re
cover his health.
Paid Oct. The last legislature appro
priated in all $41, o:k) to pay its own ex
penses, exclusive of the printing. Of
this amount ,(:!. 73 has b-en paid out
by the state treasurer, and there still re

Larue Immioratiox. There will ar
rive to-day in Portland 1G2 immigrants,
ninety-six over the Northern and sixty-
six over the Union Pacific, and this is
just the beginning of what is certain to be
a very large season's immigration. The

farmer living near Grand Konde, was ex
amined before Judge Shaw as to her
sanity, and was ordered by him commit
ted to the asylum.- Mrs. Connor was
brought to this city rriday by her hus
band, who intended to have her treated

cians that she would receive Vetter care

sent there. Mrs. Connor's mania takes
no particular form, but consists princi
pally in incoherent talk.

deeded to the defendant, to secure a loan
of $500 made by the latter to the former
to satisfy a judgment of 1500 against him
obtained by Fleckenstein & Mayer, of
Portland. Riley claims he understood
the deed to be of the nature of a mort
gage, and that when he returned the bor
rowed $500 he would be entitled to a re
turn of the deed. On January
Graham sold the farm to Marion (Jrv

Passion's Llave. A good sized crowd
witnessed the rendition aA "Passion'i
Slave" by the Nellie Boyd troupe last
night, at the opera house. Mr. Koherts
as Manuel De Foe added even to the
laurels won on Friday night. Mws
Georgia Haynes and Miss Carol Crouse
were each put forward in fine promi
nent parts and their capabilities
as excellent actresses letter shown.
Miss Boyd, too, acted splendidly, as she
always does. W. J Kohler is also worthy
of special mention. The troupe has not
a "stick" in it, which is more than can
be said of a majority of the companies
which visit Salem.
A Satisfactory Explaxatiox. The
Telegram says that Chinook salmon it
selling in Portland at fifteen cents a
pound and asks how about that law that
forbids the sale of the-salrawn earlier than
April 1st. For the information of our
contemporary it uiay le said that the
axiom that self-defense is the first law of
nature, is fully recognized and practiced
on the lower Columbia, and when a
large able-bodied salmon attacks a man
in an open boat, his life pays the forfeit
of his temerity. Astorian.

About a year ago I waa taken with a aevere
pain In both lung. I waa first attacked with a
violent chill, then a dreadful pain and then a
ough accompanied by considerable fever. It
looked very much like a bad attack of pneumo
nia. A friend of mine procured Ave Allrock't
Planter. One h put under each arm, one un
der each shoulder blade, and one on my chet
close around my throat. In a few hours the
cough eeaed, the pain gradually abated and I
broke out in a profuse perspiration. I fell Into
a profound sleep and the next day was almot
well. I wore the plasters eight days afterwards,
and have never had any trouble since.
