Frederickson, Frank Nelson, Andrew Johnson, Leander Brown, John Thompson, Alex. Green and Thomas Jacobs, men who were indicted in Chehalis county for breaking the fish traps in the Chehalis river. They were locked up September 17th, and the court adjourned there on the 16th, and they have been confined ever since. They asked to be given a hear ing, and the court fixed to-morrow, in chambers, to hear them. The New York Journal of Com merce, in answering a correspondent as to the correct spelling of the word cigar, says: "The word is cigar. It is from the Spanish cigarro, which was originally the name of a particu lar kind of tobacco grown in Cuba. Segar is spelled as cigar is pro nounced; it began in slang, as coal is now often spelled koal, and was con tinued, first upon signs to attract at tention and finally as the phonetic method of spelling words according to sound, begar has been so much sanctioned by occasional usage that it can hardly be called incorrect, but there is no other authority for it." The plow men and the oil nieu and the cotton men and the iron men and the wooden men have combined, and now even the undertakers are combining. An association of under takers is to be formed in Portland to morrow, at which rates of burying, etc., wiil be made. Frank Surpre nant, oFthis city goes up to represent Astoria! Yesterday he offered very reasonable rates for burial, but there's no telling what they'll be when he gets back. Any one that has any no tion of saving expenses and cutting off the daily expense of living by dy ing, had better hurry up and get planted, for the funeral tariff is liable to go up any day.

ATEEEIBLE BAILWAY ACCIDENT The President Seeing the Country. Chicago, Oct. 11. A ternblo acci dent occurred on the Chicago & At lantic railway early this morning near Koutz, Indiana, in which the first re port stated that twenty-five persons had been killed and a? niauy more in jured. The fast freight ran into the end of the passenger train, telescop ing two coaches. Later dispatches say the passenger train broke down near Koutz station and the engine started ahead, leaving the traiu, and stopped for water at Slate ditch. The engine got on a "center" and could not get back to the train. A stock train following and running on special time, crashed into the sleeper, telescoping sleeper and -four coaches. So far fourteen bodies have been taken from the wreck, a doctor from Huntington, In diana, being the only passenger iden tified. The rest were burned beyond recognition. Twenty-five or thirty were wounded. The engineer and fireman are not expected to live. AT ST. VAVU St. Paul, Oct. 11.

In Hrief, 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 wonderful 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 uany other things which ought not to be, have made the American people a na tion of dyspeptics. But Green's August Flower has done a wonderful work in reforming this sad business and making the American people so healthy that they can enjoy their meals and be happ llemember: No happiness without health. But Green's August Flower brings health and happiness to the dyspeptic. Ask your druggist for a bottle. Seventy-five cents. Reiranlins Land Oflice Information. A laud office circular says, under the section of the act of March 3, 18S3, authorizing a change to be made for plats or diagrams, the fees for the same are hereby fixed as fol fel fol eows: For a diagram plat showing entries only. 1.00 For a township plat showing en tries, names of claimants, nnd character of entry 2.00 For a township plat showing en tries, names of claimants, char acter of entry and number 300 For a township plat showing en tries names of claimants, char acter of entry, number and date of filing or entry, together with topography, etc 4.00 For diagrams of part of a township a proportional amount is charged. The commissioner of the general laud office says, Sept 30, 1884: "Yon are not permitted to furnish, or allow any one else to procure from your records, information showing status of lands in your district, except it is in the form of a plat or diagram showing what lands are taken, your charge therefor not to exceed the rates prescribed. Parties writing for numbers, dates, descriptions, etc., of several tracts can get this informa tion by ordering plats." The land office regulations say that 'it is no part of duties of the regis ters and receivers of the TJ. S. land offices to make out applications for homestead or pre-emption settlers, and if they do so for accommodation they can make no charge therefor. They cannot act as attorneys, agents or locators nor enter nor file upon land themselves." Slightly Inaccurate.

Marion for a transfer of his liquor license to "Wm. Koch was granted. The reports of the auditor and po lice judge and street superintendent for September were read and referred to appropriate committees. (The re ceiDts of the police court for Septem ber were $100.15.) An ordinance granting a street rail way franchise to J. W. Conn, F. M. Newell and assigns was read first and second times and referred to commit tee en streets and public ways. J. W. Conn said the franchise was not asked for speculative purposes; that it was the intention of the pro jectors to build the road if the fran chise was granted them; that they would if granted the franchise put S1.000 on deposit till they had the iron on the wharf to build the road, and take the $1,000 down when that iron was so delivered; that if they didn't so have the iron as agreed, that they would forfeit the $1,000; if they did so have the iron, they would take the $1,000 so deposited to pay for it. J. W. Newell being called on thought that it would be a good idea if a fran chise of the kind was granted; that a home company should have tbe pref erence: that it was his and his part ner's bona fide intention to build the road and if so built the resultant profit would bo retained here, instead of going to Portland or elsewhere. Councilman Gratke thought Mr. Newell's argument a good one and en dorsed it emphatically. Councilman Bergman said that the previous ordinance as well as the present one were now in the hands of the committee on streets and till the third reading of the ordinance came up it was somewhat premature to begin argument upon the question. Councilman Sherman proposed an immediate report, so that it could be at once definitely settled. Councilman Carruthers thought that the best interests of the city were to be considered, and it required a little time to get n proper report; that haste was inadvisoble. Councilman Fulton thought that the committee on streets had the present disposition of the matter and it was on their report, whatever it might be, that debate would be in order. An ordiuauce transferring liquor license from B. R. Marion to Wm. Koch, was passed under suspension of the rules. An ordinance extending the time for the improvement of Cushing's Court street, was passed under sus pension of the roles. An ordinance prohibiting the ob struction of streets and providing for the punishment thereof, was read first aud second times. The following bills were ordered paid: S. T. Harrison, $3.23: J. F. Halloran & Co., S70.3G; P. L. Taylor, 22; 58.70; L A. Snow, 22. The following claims were referred: Carruthers, McTavish & Co., $1; Griffin & Beed, SL85: H. T. Hudson.

An ordinance making appropria tion of $255 to pay claim of W. W. Parker was passed under suspension of the rules. An ordinance amending ordinance 9S9, entitled "an ordinance regulating the storage of combustible materials. ' was passed under suspension of fit rules. Adjourned. Real Estate Transfers.

Iho scales would drop off of inc all the time, and my suf fering was endless, and without relief. One thouand dollars would not tempt mo to havo this diseaso over again. I am a poor man, but feel rich to bo relieved of what some of tho doctors said wjs leprosy, some rinc-wonn, psoriasis, etc, I took ...and .Sarsapa- rilla over ono year and a-half, but no cure. I went to two or three doctors and no cure. I cannot praiso tho Coticuka Remedies, too much. They hare made my skin as clear and free from scales as a baby's. All I used of them was threo boxes of Cuticuua. and three bottles of CcncURA IIesolvent, and two cakes of Clticuka Soap, If you had been hero and said you would have cured me for S200.00 you would navo nad tne money T lonkrsl Hko the mcturo in your book of Pso riasis (picture number two.
