After nest Tuesday it is to be hoped that a good many of the bad thingB that are now being said will be taken back and admitted to be more fancy than fact. "Whatever happens short of the world coming to an end we must live and do business together, and there's no use getting mad about a little fool election mat tor. Even if this big little world of ours did come to an end wc could all probably get along just as well with out it. Capt.

The Manzanita is compelled to lose six weeks of the best weather every year on her annual cruise in Alaskan waters to the neglect of im portant shipping interests closer by. The trouble is there is too much for one vessel to do, Ihere is too much territory to cover, and however zeal ons or efficient the officers or super intendent, they cannot give the time and attention to all. In this as in oth er important things, this part of tjie Union is made to suffer by parsimony on the part of the government. An incident of the late Father Wilbur, who was buried at Salem last Monday, is related which took place on the Jvoyage around the Horn to this country. He was one day talk ing to some men on shipboard, who were painting some portion of the ship, and began helping the men in the work, when the scafforlding gave way, and Father Wilbur was thrown into the sea. Ho was picked up half an hour later. He was an expert swimmer, and had been floating on his back singing hymns. He was re ceived on board with great joy by the band of missionaries, aud his amiable wife. Adjutant-general Shofner has re ceived the guns to arm the state mi litia from the arsenal at Benicia.

This disposes of 1G0 of the 1G5 rifles received. The five will be kept to supply losses and breakage. Tn July nest the state will be entitled to another supply of arms from the United States. Till that time the Oregon national guard Rill have to get along with the arms they have on hand. LAST EVENING'S LECTURE. At S o'clock last evening Dr. A. C. Kinney introduced Gen. A. B. Camp bell of Kansas to a large audience at Liberty hall. The speaker said he had come 2,000 miles to see the people before him: had come from the land of sunflowers, grasshoppers and prohibition, to tes tify to the success of prohibition in Kansas. He would first invite thought on some general propositions agreed to by all: temperance is a vir tue: intemperance is a vice: temper ance brings pleasure: intemperance brings pain: one is, m general, goed: the other is, in general, bad: one is a beautiful virgin: the other a painted harlot. A boy starting out would get the hopes, the tears, the bast and tender. est wishes of his fond mother that he would never yield to the temptation of drink, aud the advice of his father, no matter what that father might be, to follow his mother's directions. It takes two to make the saloon business, the man on the selling side of the bar and the man on the buying side: to get rid of that transaction is the way to stop the evil: he believed prohibition would do that. He would appeal to men's judgment, their com mon sense, and was willing to leave the result of Tuesday's election to the sober thought of men as expressed by their ballots. He argued that the commandments uttered on Mount Sinai were in the main prohibitory and that it was as fair to suggest the license of stealing, lying and killing instead of demand ing their prohibition, as it was to suggest the license of liquor selling instead of its prohibition. He thought the license proposition was wrong because it admitted a partnership with crime and that the proper way to do was to exterminate the sale aud manufacture of liquor. He asserted that prohibition was not a matter of private reformation; it does not deal with individuals: it deals with offenses against seciety: no law could reform the drunkard, but that was not the purpose of pro pre pro hibiteon: its purpose was to make so ciety better. He then passed on to a brief histo ry of the prohibition law in Kansas, which carried in November, 18S0, by 7,99S majority. He read from decis ions of the United States supreme court regarding the fourteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States, and cited the fact that the Kansas supreme court had de clared the law constitutional. He also read 7th Olto, page 25, the decis ion of the U. S. supremo court in the case of the Beer Company vs. the state of Massachusetts in October, 1877, which the speaker translated "from Latin to United States," "The public good is the supreme law." He told the ladies that if prohibi tion was beaten next Tuesday the blame would largely bo theirs, urged them to go to the polls and work, and asked his audience to weigh what he had said without passion or prejudice and vote for or against the amendment as in their sovereign judgment they saw fit He talked straight along until 930, and was frequently applauded. Ho has his arguments all arranged in good shape, is a ready speaker of pleasing presence, and will speak again at Liberty Hall this evening.

Oysters In Every Slyle At the Central Restaurant, next Foard & Stokes'. to m HOPE P0E THE AKASOHISTS. Death of a Once Celebrated Songstress. Vashixgtox, Nov. 2. The su preme court denies the application for a writ of error in the case of the Chicago auarchbts. The decision was announced this afternoon by Chief Justice Morrison R. Waite, in a long and carefully prepared opin ion which occupied thirty-five min utes in reading. The court holds, in brief, first: that the ten amendments to the constitution are limitations upon btate action; secend: that the jury law in Illinois is upon its face valid, and constitutional; third: that it does not appear in the record that upon the evidence in the trial the court should have declared juror Sanford incompetent; feurth: that the objection to the admission of JohannMost's letter and the cross ex amination of Spies, which the coun sel for the prisoners maintained vir tually compelled them to testify against themselves, were not objected to in the trial before the court and that, therefore, no foundation was laid for an exercise of this courts jurisdiction; and, fifth: that the ques tions raised by Gen. Butler in the cases of Spies and Fielden upon the basis of their foreign nationality were neither raised nor decided in the state court and therefore cannot be decided here. The writ of error prayed for must consequently bo denied. There was no dissenting opinion. JCST WHAT WAS EXPECTED. Chicago, Nov. 2. The jail authori ties did not evince any surprise this afternoon when informed of the su preme court decision in the anarchist case. "It was just what was expect ed," said Jailor Folze. The anarch ists received the news unmoved and refused to express any opinion in the matter. CAN HAVE A COALING HAimolL Sax Fbancisco, Nov. 2. Advices from the Hawaiian Islands are that the Hawaiian government has decid ed to cede Pearl river harbor to the United States as a coaling station, but provision is made that in case the present reciprocity treaty is ab rogated, the American government shall relinquish the harbor. The harbor in question is near Hon olulu and is regarded as the finest in the Hawaiian group. Whether the harbor will be accepted with the con ditions attached is not known. AS USUAL. Billings, Mont., Nov. 2. After watching the Indians three weeks, the military allowed two hundred of them to escape last night. Much un easiness prevails as to the safety of the peoplo along the Yellowstone river. One hundred Nez Perces have arrived on the Crow reservation. TAKEN TO DUBLIN JAIL. Cork, Nov. 2. Wm. O'Brien and Mandeville were quietly removed from the jail here at 5 o'clock tlm morning and taken away on a special train. It is supposed that they are to be placed in the prison at Dublin. The news of their removal was not known to the people of Cork till 10 o'clock. AT TULLAMOP.E. Dublin, Nov. 2. O'Brien has been lodged in jail at Tnllamore, fiity miles from Dublin. WILL PLAY ROOSTEK.

London, Nov. 2. Jenny Lind, the celebrated Swedish singer, is dead. She was aged GG years: she had been severely ill some weeks. LAMAR AND THE SUPREME BENCH. WAsniNGTONt D. C, Nov. 2. It is generally conceded that Mr. Lamar will shortly be appointed to the su preme bench, in which event his place in the cabinet will be filled by Gov. Gordon, of Georgia. This is deemed especially appropriate, inasmuch as the two men are from the same state aud mutually warm admirers of each other, aud for the additional reason that Gov. Gordon very much desires a residence iu "Washington, and would be particularly well pleased with a cabiuet position. Don M. Dickinson, of Michigan, has been mentioned, however, in this connection, but he declares that he could not accept the position if tendered him, although he does not fay ho would not Assistant secretary Muldrow is being urged for tho place by his friends, who urge that he is entitled to it by promotion. It is believed, however, that the ad ministration looks upon him as a lit tle weak, and desires to confer the of fice upon a man of more pronounced Democratic tendencies. nORRIBLE BEYOND BELIEF. Ottawa, Cau."! Nov. 2. Advices re ceived by the government here from Edmonton, Northwest territories, in connection with the preliminary in vestigation into the mnrder of Mrs. Marie Coutereille, by her husband and stepson, disclose one of the most inhuman crimes ever reported. John Ward, son-in-law of the elder prisoner, testified that he was living near the prisoner's at Lesser Slave Lake. Early in July last Mrs. Courtereille showed Eymptons of in sanity, and, as ho alleges, begged of her relatives to kill her, as she was about to become a cannibal, and was possessed of an evil spirit that im pelled her to kill and eat human be ings. To prevent her doing injury it was attempted, according to Ward's story, to keep her tied for twenty days, but she repeatedly got loose. One night, however, about the begin ning of September, Ward, who was sleeping in Courtereille's house, was awakened by the woman, who had unloosened her fetters and was chok ing the old man. When spoken to she bellowed like a wild animal. She was secured and asked to be killed, otherwise she would kill and eat Minm TUn linslinnrl nnr Rforucrm n- plied that they could not kill her as j they lovea ner, out nnauy agreed to pray for her. She again appealed to them to take her life as she said she could not resist the evil spirit within her and would certainly kill and eat them all if they did not do as she said. Fearing her threats would be carried into execution, father and son agreed to dispatch her, and se curing an ax they carried out their terrible determination, burying the body immediately. Tho prisoners nm now both confined in Fort Sas katchewan waiting trial. PERSONAL MENTION. W. C. Logan has returned from Tillamook. Wm. Kyle has been appointed post master at Florence, Lane county.

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, lough food, sloppy food, bad cookery, mental worry, late hours, irregular habits, and nany 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 bo happy. Remember: 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. One of the Railway Projects. The engineering party sent out to ascertain and locate the most practic able survey for the proposed Port Townsend Southern railroad from tho bay of Port Townsend to the Colum bia river, has returned. The chief engineer, J. T. Sheets, said the party went as far as the Skokomish Indian ngencj. As far as the party went, an easy roadbed, with exceedingly few obstacles to overcome, "was found. The road will probably leave Purdy's place and follow up a winding can yon, an up grade, to reach an eleva tion of four hundred feet, where a level country to the Columbia is prac ticable for a railroad. The rest of the survey will be pushed as soon aa the weather permits. Port Toions end Corr.
