THE "ALASKAN."
What Oapt. Troup Says of Her Hull.
Portland, May 18. This morning
an old man named Connelly stabbed
his son's 'wife with a broken case
knife in an attempt to murder her.
The old man has been living for some
time with his son's family, and their
relations have always been unpleasant,
but his eccentricities were overlooked
by his son and wife, because lie
wa3 known tfcbe of unsettled mind.
He is probably insane. The woman
has a ghastly wound which may prove
fatal, but she is resting easy now.
Dr. C. H. Wheeler secures a divorce
from his wife.
Capt. J. W, Troup says the Alas
Jean's hull was perfectly seund: she
was inspected just before she left by
J. C. Ferguson, inspector of hulls,
and pronounced sound in every par
ticular. INCOMING PASSENGEES

LIBBT PBISON.
The Hack Drivers Not Wholly Unhappy.
Richmond. Va., May 18. There
is much enjoyment here over the
wreck of the tram carrying a portion
or Jjibby prison to Chicago, and the
fact that relic hunters have carried
away many of the bricks, eta The op
position to the removal is as deep now
as when it was first suggested, and
the brag is now made that the build
ing put up in Chicago will not be
a complete representation of the old
prison. Missing bricks must be re
placed by new ones. The larger por
tion of the building stands here yet.
The negro hack drivers have been
much agitated over the contemplated
removal in view of the fact that many
strangers desire to be driven to Libby
prison. They have reached the con
clusion, however, that they can still
work the site of the building.
SINGULAR PHENOMENON.
A Well That Breathes Each Way.
El Paso, Tex., May 18. The Texas
and Pacific company sank, a bored
well some years ago near Eagle Flat
station, about 110 miles east of El Paso,
in a fruitless endeavor to obtain arte
sian water. The well was abandoned
when it had been bored over 800 feet,
but the tubing is still intact in it.
This abandoned well has proved to be
a remarkable natural phenomenon.
For twelve hours each day a furious
gust of air rushes into the tubing, and
the next twelve hours an equally
strong gust rushes out This occurs
with the utmost regularity, and so far
no break has been noticed in the reg
ular occurrence. At first it was
claimed that the air coming out from
the well was highly magnetized, but
later investigations have failed to
prove the correctness of this assertion.
Editor Clngstone'.s Revense.
'Mr. Clugston," said the foreman of
the Doodleville Yelpcr office, "the
Pinhook Jigger says you didn't have
money enough to pay the express on
your patent insides last week and had
to snin around among Uia merchants
for a loan of forty cents before jou
could get 'em ont of the express office
and go to press."
Mr. Clugaton, the editor and pro
prietor of the Yclper, calmly sat down
and wrote the following withering
article:
"doc reeves, the half-baked imbecile
doc reeves, the thundering gourd
head doc reeves, the pusilanimou3
donkey that afflicts the good people of
Pinhook with a miserable apology ot
a thumb paper he calls the 'Jigger,'
says but who the Sam Hill cares
what doc reeves says!"
"There," said editor Clugston, as he
leaned back in his chair, exhausted,
"that'll finish the cuss."

TELEGRAPHIC
NINE DOCTORS FAILED.
Remarkable Cares How they were Done
by an Advertislnp; Doctor.
A Cabd to the Public: I feel that
I would not be doing my duty to wo
man kind if 1 did not let them know
how badly afflicted I have been and
how and where to be cured. Ten years
ago 1 was taken with painful menstru
ation, and I have been troubled that
way since that time, accompanied with
troubles in every conceivable way.
About three months ago the climax
came, and l was prostrated with pain
through the heart, chest and lungs.
and confined to my bed from ex
cessive hemorrhage or flowing. After
nine doctors of different schools of
practice gave me up. I applied to Dr.
Darrin, and he has cured me so I can
walk from my residence to his office.
I am overjoyed with the result of the
cure. Mrs. E. A. Ahlf.
The following tribute to the gift and
skill of Drs. Darrin is a remarkable
instance of a generous impulse worked
out against professional prejudice,
anu is wortny ot recerd:
Cabd to the Public. I have for
the past two years been afflicted with
enronic pericarditis, accompanied with
great pain around the heart all that
tune, with excessive circulation, sleep
less nignts, tear and distress. 1 was
unable to attend to the duties of my
profession. I had exhausted niv
knowledge of medicine, as also that of
my colleagues, and found no relief
until coming under the electromagnet
ic treatment of Drs, Damn. A little
more than a month elapsed since
received tins treatment and J. can
truthfully say that I am cured.
I have none of my former
trouble, and wish thus to
give my personal experience in the in
terest ot humanity. 1 have been a
practicing physician fourteen ears,
and am well known in this city and
Marshfield, Oregon. I deem it but
justice to the public and to Drs.
Darrin to write the above.
Dr. Steele,
the doctors imiace of business.
Drs Darrin can be consulted free at
the Occident hotel. Astoria. Oreeon.
and will under no circumstances take
a case they cannot cure or benefit.
Consultation free. Charges reason
able. The poor treated free from 9
to 10 A. m. daily.
Ullice hours from 10 to 4 daily:
evenings 7 to 8: Sunday. 10 to 12. All
curable chronic diseases loss of man
hood, blood taints, syphilis, gleet.
gonorrhea, stricture, spermatorrhea,
seminal weakness or loss of desire of
sexual power in man or woman,
catarrh or deafness are confidentially
and successfully treated. Cure of
private diseases guaranteed and never
published in the papers. Most cases
can receive home treatment after a
visit to the doctor's office. Inquiries
answered and circulars sent free.
The doctor's stay in this city is
limited to June IbL Parties desiring
to consult him should do so at once.
CLOSING EXEKCISES.
At Miss Emma Warren's Private School'
Notwithstanding the inclemency of
the weather, the seatinir capacity of
Miss Warren's tastefully decorated
school room was not sufficient to ac
commodate the patrons and friends as
sembled to witness the closing exer
cises on Friday afternoon. The pro
gramme, consisting of recitations,read
ings, essays, duets and choruses, was
interesting and instructive.
The pupils acquitted themselves
most creditably in their several parts,
many being deserving of special men
tion. The dumb-bell exercises were
excellent, one drill being given by the
boys and anotner by the girls, in cos
tumes of navy blue made for the oc
casion. At the close the pupils in attendance
wera awarded certificates of deport
ment ana standing ror the term just
ended.
Miss Warren mentioned Otto Prael.
Annie Belknap. Annie Callendar. Geo.
Stevens, Nellie Levings and Albert
Lieighton, as being also deserving of
certificates, these latter having been
unable to complete the term because
of sickness or on account of engaging
in otner occupations.
In bidding her pupils farewell Miss
Warren urged them to persistent fu
ture etiort, and expressed a desire to
see as many as possible in their ac
customed places at the re-opening of
sciiooi m September.
The rolls show fifty nunils in attend
ance, ana tne studies pursued embrace
tnose ot tne primary and grammar de
partments, as well as geometry, alge
bra, rhetoric, ancient history, physiol
ogy, eta
Miss Warren is to be congratulated
upon the success of her labors among
us for the past few years. By pains
taking effort she has established for
her school a most enviable reputation.

A LTJCKT TRIAL.
The Good Fortune Which Followed
It affords mc great pleasure to tend tt
you this voluntary statement of my expej
rienee In testing the merits of Joy's Vegej

years I have been troubled with an exj

appetite and distress after eating, pains
in the back and lidneys, and boils around;
my neck and face. I tried many lives
remedies, only getting temporary relief;
I was recommended to try a bottle of
Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla as a test, anS
while taking tho first bottle I became cen:
vincedof itsmerlts, fori could feel rha
it was working a change in me. I took
five bottles, and during that time m
