Mr. Quintex, an Indiana editor,
dropped dead while praying for the
souls of delinquent subscribers in
Worth Manchester, Indiana, last Sat
urday afternoon. Mr. Q. was, no
doubt, foolish to pray for a class of
unfortunates who are past praying
for, but it does seem that in this case
special providence overdid the busi
ness. The chamber of commerco is think
ing about getting up some pamphlets
descriptive oi tne county, its resour
ces, eta The idea is a good one.
Bnt for every dollar Bpent that way

tant as its preparation.

both ways.
The Gen. Uanbti is on the wavs be
ing repaired at Portland. The men,
tne machinery, and everything else
necessary for such work as that re
quired on the Canby are here. All
that is needed is the ways. For lack
of ways 820,000 worth of that kind of
work goes to Portland every year
that might just as well be kent here.
To build the proper ways would cost
S2.000, which would pay for itself
twice over tho first vear.
Two young ladies of Portland went
into a store last Tuesday where there
was a galvanic battery, and tho pro
prietor asked them to try it. Each
grasped a pole of the battery, and
wondered "why no shock was felt.
The proprietor suggested that they
kiss each other. They did so and
then there was a shock indeed. One
of the young women shrieked and
fell over backward. Tne other made
sonnd, but fainted. Cold water
brought them both around, none
the
worse for the kiss.

surpassed, and that she contemplates
a return as soon as she feels able to
travel.

arrived from Darmstadt yesterday.
She was met at Charlottenburg sta

daughter, and the crown prince and
prince Henry. The most affectionate
greeting was accorded her. The
route to the palace was decorated
with flags and lined with people and
members of the gymnastic and trade
societies. Large crowds cheered en
thusiastically. The emperor was asleep when the
party arrived at the palace. The
bouses along the route were illumin
ated with candles, and thousands of
torches were carried in the streets.
Prince Henry and the Princess Irene
held a reception last evening at the
palace. The marriage ceremony was
solemnized in the chapel of Charlotten

commenced and a salute of I5G guns
were fired at 1230 which announced

exchanged rings.

Henry and the crown prince were

IN THE JUSTICE COURT.
There was a sort of three-cornered
dispute in the justice court yesterday
morning, wherein J. A. Rowan had a
warrant issued for the arrest ot A.
L. Parker and A. L. Parker had a
warrant issued for the arrest of J. A.
Rowan. Two boys, named Hansen
and Wallace, also figured in the row,
the whole thing being a sequel to a
disturbance some mornings ago, when
milk cans and profanity filled the
air; people living in the vicinity of
the fracas thought the riot act should
be read. Justice Cleveland fined
both complainants 85 each and gave
the boys a much needed lecture.
By the time he had got the scales
of justice dusted off, two rival depu
tations from Miller's Sands knocked
loudly at the portals of the temple.
Their case and its statement occu
pied nearly all day. Boiled down it
seems that there are two rival crowds
at Miller's Sands, the Elliott
faction and the Jones faction.
Charley Woods isn't there this year,
but there is pretty near as muoh fun
as .though he was. It is the daily
delight and nightly custom of the two
seining parties to cork each other, to
lift the lead lines and let the fish
pass through into the corker's net,
and when remonstrated with, the re-
monstrator is told to depart to Ha
des, sic semper McGinnis, or words
to that effect
After listening to the testimony of
the complaining witnesses against the
five or six men who were arrested,
and noting tho arguments of the
counsel pro and con, until his nose
bled, the justice took the case under
advisement, and sought temporary
seclusion.
Five minutes after, this seclusion
was interrupted by case number three,
in the person ot one Miles Davitt,
who carefully holding his eye in its
proper position, stated that ho had
been in a saloon engaged in sampling
stock with a view to further purchase
and on emerging was met by Albert
Kennedy, ot Miller's Sands, who,
without any preliminary remarks, hit
him in the eye, seriously injuring
that useful member. Mr. Kennedy
was promptly arrested and will have
an opportunity to ponr his tale into
the capacious ear of justice at ten
o'clock this morning.
After this little interlude in the
main performance the hour arrived
at which time tho judge was to an
nounce his decision, and as the sun
was rushing madly down in the west,
the judge decided that all the pris
oners should he discharged but Jones
and Kennedy; that Jones and Ken
nedy be held to appear in the sum of
$200 each to appear before tho next
grand jury, and after giving them
some fatherly advice regarding how
brethren should dwell together in
unity, the seance closed. At last
accounts the whole party had buried
tho hatchet with the handle left
conveniently sticking up.
An Explanatiou.
What is this "nervous trouble" with
which so many seem now to be af
flicted? It you will reniember a few
years ago tho word Malaria was com
paratively unknown, to-day it isas
common as any word in the English
language, yet this word covers only
the meaning of another word used by
our forefathers in times past. So it
is with nervous diseases, as they and
Malaria are intended to cover what
our grandfathers called Billionsness,
and all are caused by troubles that
ariso from a diseased condition ot the
Liver which in performing its func
tions finding it cannot dispose ot the
b.le through tho ordinary channel is
compelled to pass it off through the
system, causing nervous troubles,
Malaria, Billions Fever, etc. You
who are suffering can well appreciate
a cure. We recommend Green's Au
gust Flower. Its cures are mar
velous. A California Opinion.
Sax Francisco, May 23. In a three
column' editorial on Oregon politics.
this evenings JSulletin says: It a
victory in Oregon could be won be
fore the meeting of the democratic
national convention, a sort of current
or drift, north and south, toward free
trade could bo figured out, tuis is an
the more necessary from the fact that
the first of the elections held this
year that of Rhode Island, on April
4. showed a decided republican reac-
tiou. Oregon has, therefore, become
a sort of index state for national con
ventions. which are usually held in
the month of June. In the course of
time that state will probably find that
the function of pointing out, or seem
incr to rjoint out. the way for politi
oians will be followed by a loss of self-
control. An election coming oil at
the date stated will always- for the
reasons stated, invite interference
from the outside.
A Woman's Discovery.
"Another wonderful discovery lias
been made and that too by a lady in
this county. Disease fastened its clutch
es upon her and for seven years she
withstood its severest tests, but her vi
tal organs wero undermined and death
seemed imminent. For threo months
she coughed incessantly and could not
sleep. She bought of us a bottle of Dr,
King's New Discovery for Consump
tion and was so much relieved on tak
ing first dose that she slept all night
and with one bottle lias been miracu
lously cured. Her name Is Mrs. Luther
