Frank Bruno, whom every one
within hailing distance of the police
court is well acquainted with, has
fallen from grace. Sometime ago he
braced up and staid sober for a SDace
ot periods, but he has got down again.
Yesterday Judge Jewett threatened
to send him to tho insane asylum for
ten years if he didn't quit fooling

have taken a contract to drink all the

to travel with some temperance lec
tnrer as a horrible example.

S. M. Johnson, of East Portland,
wants that city lo pay him S30 for
attendance upon a smnll pox patient
last July. S. M. holds a strong hand
and is going to play it for all it is
worth. The small pox patient died,
Johnson helped bury the cadaver.
and says if tho city doesn't come up
with the S30 he'll tell where ho bur
ied the defunct, thus opening tho way
for a suit ngainst the city for dam
ages by the owner of the land. What
n surprise party it wouldj bo for a
man to buy a lot in East Portland,
and digging for a cistern come across
the remains of tho deceased!
When the two houses of congress
were called to order at noon yester
day the session had become the long
est by twenty-four hours in Ameri
can history. The longest preceding
session was that of 1850, the year of
the Missouri compromise, which was
adjourned at noon September 30.
Constructively tho session of 1850,
following tho impeachment proceed
ings against president Johnson, was
longer, the adjournment having taken
place November 10, but as a matter
of fact congress took a six weeks'
rest from July 27 and never after
wards had a quorum or attempted to
transact business.

A HORRIBLE SUICIDE.
Ohas. P. HcOormao Outs His Throat
At the Salem Insane Asylum Yesterday.
Salem, Oregon, Oot. 1. Yesterday
morning, about 9 o'clock, Charles F.
MoCormac, a patient at the insane
asylum, entered the room of an at
tendant and asked for a sheet of pa
per. While the attendant's baok was
turned McCormao took a razor, hang
ing in a case on the walL Two hours
later he entered the water closet, say
ing as he opened the door, "Send for
a doctor." He closed the door, sat
down in the closet and cut his throat
from ear to ear. He made four or
five gashes. Another patient was
within three feet of him when the
deed was committed.
McCormao had been in the asylum
three years. He was formerly a law
yer at Portland, and subsequently at
Astoria. His remains will be shipped
to Eugene City on Wednesday for
burial. The suicide's father is Rev.
J. A. McCormao, of Astoria.
The above dispatch will be a shock
to many who knew the young man,
who was at one time city attorney,
but subsequently exhibited such
strong symptoms of insanity as to ne
cessitate his removal to the asylum.
His father was at Gray's river when
the news arrived. A messenger was
sent for him by boat, but it is doubt
ful if he will arrive before to-day.
PERSONAL MENTION.
Jno. Bryce, Jr., is in the city.
Hon. T. A. McBride goes to Port'
land this evening.
Death of J. T. Borcheri .
J. T. Borohers of Knappton, W. T.,
tell off the new wharf at the Knapp
ton mill at eight o'clock last Sunday
evening and was drowned. His cries
for help were heard but it was im
possible, in the darkness to locate
him, and his body was not recovered
till yesterday morning. Deoeased
was well known here, where for many
years he was in business. About a
week ago his house near Knappton
burned down, he and his wife losing
nearly everything they possessed.
Mr. and Mrs. Leo. Mansur and other
charitable neighbors, stirred them
selves and succeeded in scouring
olothing and shelter for the old
couple, and a new house was roady
to be roofed, it being their intention
to move in to-day. Their son Henry
Borchers, at Portland, as tele
graphed to yesterday. The funeral
will be at Knappton, to-day.
"Gets There Just the Same."
An eastern exchange says: An in
telligent waiter at ono of the city ho
tels thus sizes up his guests by their
manner of asking for the bill of fare.
He says the young lawyer will ask for
"the briefs," in an apparently forget
ful way; the ball-player wants to seo
the "score card"; the drummer asks
for the "bill ot goods"; the actor calls
for the "play bill"; the merchant calls
for the "inventory"; the dancing-master
for the ''programme"; the old law
yer requests the "bill of particulars";
tho horseman the "list of entries";
tho singer wants the "score." and the
ship captain tho "clearance papers";
the regular tourist calls for the
"menu." arid the printer for tho
"take"; the druggist absently asks for
Hie "prescription"; the railroad man
wants to see your "orders," and tho
parson the "creed"; the common
boarder asks for the "card," and I ho
doc I or for tho "symptoms."
(Jut here the average Ban Francis
can does not find it necessary to ad
vertise his business thus, ho ho sim
ply asks for the "bill," but he "gots
there just the same." S. F. Call.

An Explanation.
What is this "nervous trouble" with
which so many seem now to be af
flicted? If you will remember a few
years ago the word Malaria was com
paratively unknown, to-day it is as
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 Billiousness,
and all are caused by troubles that
arise from a diseased condition of the
Liver which in performing its func
tions finding it cannot dispose ot the
bile through the ordinary channel is
compelled to pass it off through the
system, causing nervous troubles,
Malaria, Bilious Fever, etc You
who nr6 suffering can well appreciate
a cure. We recommend Green's Au
gust Flower. Its cures aro mar
velous.

A Woman's Discovery.
"Another wonderful discovery has
been made and that too by a lady in
tliis county. Disease fastened its clutch
es upon her and for seven yeais she
withstood its severest tests, but her vi
tal organs weio undermined and death
seemed imminent. For three months
she coughed incessantly and could not
sleep. She bought of us a bottle of Dr,
King's New Diseoerv for Consump

ing first dose that she J3leDt all nicht
