The north bound Oregon express and the south bound express collided at the depot in this city early thip morning. The cause of the accident was the fail ure of the airbrakes on the north bound train, whioh dashed by the depot and struck the south bound train, standing at the water tank, with such force that the locomotives were fairly telescoped and the cars of the south bound train were sent up the track nearly one hundred yards. The tenders on both locomotives were completely wrecked and the front of the baggage cars were smashed. The engineers of both trains, Mackay on the north and Grant on the south bound, stayed with their engines. But one man was hurt, N. K. Sprague, whose left legjwas slightly sprained. SEXATOB SHEBSTAN'S VIEWS. Cincinnati, Aug. 30. Senator Sherman, in an interview, says: "My views have been that while tlie Cana dian government had a legal right to exclude American fishermen with in the three mile limit of their shore it was an act of bad policy to do so, and that their denial to Ameri can fishermen of commercial rights to seek shelter and buy bait and supplies in Canadian ports was inconsistent with the civilized and generous policy of modern commer cial relations between the United States and the dominion government.

A prom inent coal dealer has predicted a coal famine in this city in a short time, and states that the wheat corner is to blame, as it has tied up a large fleet of English vessels in this harbor for the last few months. He also says this city mainly depends on the coast supply of coal; 'that is, on tho mines of Wellington and Nanaimo. Other things being equal, this city could depend for supply on those two, but the recent disaster in the latter mine withdrew 800 tons of daily output from the market, and the Wellington and Seattle mines, if worked to their utmost capacity, could not with that drawback begin to satisfy the demand. Didn't Stand the Raise. Coroner Boss, who returned yester day from Calfornia, tells of a little incident that illustrates one of the interesting features in the land of the boom. While in Alameda fiust across the creek from Oakland) he saw a lot on Bay street, between Michigan and Central avenues, and thinking it would bo a good lot to buy, went to the real estate agent who had it advertised for sale. "What is that lot worth?" quoth the Astonan. "Five hundred dollars, sir, and a very desirable piece of prop erty." This was on Friday, the 12th. The following Wednesday, the 17th, J. C. returned from a visit to the country and walked into the real estate ngent's office. "Here's your $500; give me a title deed." "What lot do you wnnt?" said the real es tate acent. "That one right there," said Boss. ''That lot, my friend," said the real estate agent, "will cost you $1,000." "But you said it was $500," said J. C. "Very true." "I did," quoth the agent: "it was $500 last Friday. But this is Wednesdav. Shall I make yon out the deed? It is cheap at $1,000." "No," said Mr. Ross, "I guess I'll look on a while." The next Saturday, the 20th, he was in tho real eBtate agent's office with his father, who is a resident of Oakland, and who had business in Alameda, and looking on the plat at the lot he had a -big notion of buy ing eight days before for $500. he said to the real estate man: "What is that worth?" tapping the point in dicated on the map with his finger. "That lot, answered the r. e. m., "is worth $1,500." "Great Scott," said Ross. "Pact" said the r. e. m. Just out of curiosity, before he left on his return to Astoria he went back to the real estate agent "la that lot sold yet?" "Yes." "Who tof "Ex policeman Smith." He hunted up ex policeman Smith. "Did you buy such and such a lot?" "Ye3.' "What did you pay for it if it's a fair question?" "$1,750."

Disordered liver is misery. Indigestion is a foo to good nature. The human digestive apparatus is one of the most complicated and won derful things in existence. It is easily pnt out of ordor. Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food, bad cookery, mental worry, late hours, irregular habits, and many other things which ought not to bo, have made the American people a nation of dyspeptics. But Greens August Flower has done a wonderful work in reforming this sad business and making the American pooplo so healthy that they can enjoy their meals and be happy. Remember: No happiness without health. Bhd Green's August Flower brings health and happiness to tho dyspeptic. Ask your druggist for a bottlo. Seventy-five cents. At Ross' Opera House Next Monday. Another large audience greeted A. R. Wilber's Madison Square company last night the great play "The Gal ley Slave" was presented. It is the finest melodrama of modern times. The scene of the play is located in Rome, Venice and France. The plot is intensely interesting, and the play, which is in five acts, is full of strong situations and picturesque groupings. The company is a strong one and en titled to rank among the best travel ing. No one should miss seeing this great and famous play. Buffalo Courier. Unnecessary 3Ilsery. Probably as much misery comes from habitual constipation as from any derangement of the functions of the body, and it is difficult to cure, for the reason that no one likes to take the medicines usually pre scribed. HAMBUBG FIGS were prepared to obviate this difficulty, and they will be found pleasant to the taste of women and children. 25 cents. At all druggists. J. J. Mack & Co., proprietors. S. F. The question is coming as to whether type-writiug signatures are legal. Owing to the vast amount of matter written by type-writing machines, it is not unlikely that an occasional signature to an important document will be found to have been made in this way. A legal au thority of note gives it as his opin ion that the intention of tho law is to regard such signatures as simply evidence that the maker of the document wished it to be valid. The law would not, therefore, bear so much on how the maker signed it as to whether he signed it at all. A man's name written in his own handwriting is evidence that it is his signature. A typo written signa ture is no evidence in itself that it was written by the person whose sig nature it purports to be. It would seem, in view of these facts, that tho signature would be good enough in ordinary cases, but would require evidence to prove that it is what it pretends to be. Their Business Booming. Probably no one tiling has caused such a general revival of trade at W. E. Dement & Co.'sDrug Store as their giv ing away to their customers of so many free trial bottles of Dr. King's New Dis covery for Consumption.
