want the county clerk to draw a map
of it, and who forget to send

It is astonishing how little considera

REPORTED DEATH OF STANLEr.
London, July 2L A dispatch from
St. Thomas, west Africa, says the
West African company has received a
report that Henry M. Stanley, the
African explorer, has been shot dead
by the natives with whom his expedi
tion was fighting in order to obtain
supplies. Another account says the
steamer on which Stanley was pro
ceeding to1 the relief of Emen Bey
sunk and that the explorer was
drowned. The report of Stanley's
death emanates from a missionary at
Matadi, who received it from a native
from the up country. No direct mes
sage has been received from the ex
pedition. A later dispatch savs the
rumor regarding the death of H. M.
Stanley is utterly discredited hero.
A DREADFUL SCOUROE.
Roue, July 21. -Twenty-five deaths
from cholera occurred in Catania dur

The Story Lacks Confirmation.
Yesterday morning at 1:35 o'clock,
captain of police G. W. Ruoker, of
Astoria, deposited a deserter from
-tho United States army named Frank
Crissmau in the city jail, ponding Iiib
removal to tho Vancouver barraokB.
The story goes that in the afternoon
the captain took his manont of prison
to proceed to Vancouver, stopping at
the Esmond hotel en route, where he
in the goodness of his heart asked
Crissmau to take a drink, which, of
course, the latter did not decline.
After they had disposed of their
drink and were yet standing at the
counter of the barroom, the captain
said to Crissman, "You stay here till
I see the olerk; I'll be back in a
moment" "Certainly," answered the
prisoner. The officer's back waB
scarcely turned before Crissman
availed himself of the opportunity to
"skip." The consternation of captain
Rucker beggars description when he
found that his confidence had been
misplaced. The officer returned to
the police stationinviting the aid of
the local force, but at last accounts
Crissman was still roaming the
country. Telegram, 19.
The above is probably overdrawn.
The Vancouver Independent of the
20th, says:
"Frank Chrisman, a deserter from
the 14th Infantry, who was arrested
at Astoria, was brought to Vancouver
Barracks on Monday. His next de
tail will embrace a tour at Alcatraz."

In Brief, And to the Point.
Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is a foe
to good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is
one of the most complicated and won
derful things in existence. It is easily
put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy
food, bad cookery, mental worry, late
hours, irregular habits, and many
other things which ought not to be,
have made the American people a
nation of dyspeptics.
But Qreen's August Flower has
done a wonderful work in reforming
this sad business and making tho
American people so healthy that they
can enjoy their meals and be happy.
Remember: No happiness without
health. But Green's August Flower
brings health and happiness to the
dyspeptic Ask your druggist for a
