ROBB & N V Best of All Cough medicines, Ayer's Cherry Pec toral is in greater demand than ever No preparation for Throat and Lung Troubles is so prompt in its effects, sc agreeable to the taste, and so widelj known, as this. It is the family medi cine in thousands of households. "I have suffered for years from a bronchial trouble that, whenever I take cold or am exposed to inclement weath er, shows itself by a very annoying tickling sensation in the throat and by difficulty in breathing. I have tried a great many remedies, but none does so well as Ayer's Cherry Pectoral which alwaj'S gives prompt relief in returns of my old complaint." Ernest A. Kepler, Inspector of Public lloads. Parish Ter re Bonne, La. " I consider Ayer's Cherry Pectoral a most important remedy For Home Use. I have tested iu curative power, in my family, many times during the past thirty years, and have never known it to fail. It will relieve the most serious affections of the throat and lungs, whether in children or adults." Mrs. 13. G. Edgerly, Council Bluffs, Iowa. "Twenty years ago I was troubled with a disease of the lungs. Doctors afforded mo no relief and considered my case hopeless. I then began to uso Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, and, befpre I had finished one bottle, found relief. I continued to take this medicine until a cure was effected. I believe that Ayer's Cherry Pectoral saved my life." Samuel Griggs, "Yaukegan, 111. " Six years ago I contracted a severe cold, which settled on my lungs and soon developed all the alarming symp toms of Consumption. I had a cough, night sweats, bleeding of the lungs, pains in chest and sides, and was so E rostrated as to be confined to my ed most of the time. After trying various prescriptions, without benefit, my physician finally determined to givo mo Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. I took it, and the effect was magical. I seemed to rally from the first dose of this medicine, and, after using only three bottles, am as well and sound as ever." Eodney Johnson, Springfield, 111.

According to present indications there is no pros pect that the snow blockade on the Sierras, which has now lasted nine days, will soon be broken. This after noon a rotary snow plow with four en gines got stuck in a cut near Shady Hun. There are several cuts between Towlea and Shady Hun, where- the banks are fco high that the rotary will not throw the snow over the embank ment, and in consequence it tumbles back upon the track, burying the plow completely. Then there is nothing to do but to "back for a distance and take a run for the middle bank of snow. Snow is falling on the hills again this evening, banking up in the cuts and covering the rails. Indications are that the night will be a stormy one. John Coglan, operator at Cascades, who had been sick with pneumonia, died last evening. Sax Fiuncisco, Jan. 23. The post ofllce officials in this city are in a de spondent mood. Eight days' mail is snowbound on tho Central Pacific road between Reno and Shady Run, and when tho blockade is broken it will all be in the postofllce within a few hours' time. Such a tremendous quantity of letters and papers as is on these trains has never before been handled at one time in 'the postofllce. The railway mail clerks, who are tem porarily laid off op account of the closing of the Central and Oregon lines, are to meet the mail trains at Oakland. "Only the letter mail will be touched iirst, and if we get all off our hands in the first day we will be doing well," said deputy Carr to-day. "Then the tremendous quantity of newspapers and packages will be at tacked, and I think will be very for tunate indeed if it is all cleared away in three or four days."" San Fbancisco, Jan. 23. A number of passengers who were snow bound at Emigrant Gap, on the Central Pa cific, have arrived here, having left the train aud come by.the snowshoe route. Peter French, of Lake county, Or., was among the first who came throngli, and ho reports having had a stormy trip. He says that J. J. Jen nings, a New York journalist, who came to meet Nellie Bly, gave out and wanted to tie down in the snow. They had to drag him along, and con stantly aroused him to do his best Jennings, they said, was very plucky, bnt physically unable to cope with the snow and cold. Notwithstanding tho hard experiences of the travelers, they did their best to kill time. They in augurated the publication of a paper called The Daily Snow. Four num bers of it were issued up to the time the snowsboers left. Denver, Jan. 23. Tho first train from Portland for several days over the Northern Pacific arrived this af ternoon at 4. o'clock. Tho San Fran cisco route was opened to-day and the first through train for the coast left Denver this morning. The entire Rio Grande system is now open, tho snow blockade having been raised late yes terday af temoon. Grant's Or., Jan. 23. Six inches of snow fell here to-day. There are thir teen inches of snow on the level, and it is still snowing. There are eighteen inches of snow on the uplands about Wasco and John Day. A Missing Steamship. New York, Jan. 23. Agents of the National steamslup line stated to-day that they have no additional informa tion regarding the steamship Erin, which it is feared has foundered with all on board. Tho agents, however, still maintain that there is still hope that the Erin may have made some port in a disabled condition. A crew of sixty-seven was shipped at Liver pool, and the names are not known here, but Captain Tyson was the com mander and John Grant first oflicer. Besides the regular crew there were twenty cattlemen on board, six of whom were working their passage back to Liverpool and were unknown. About fifteen were Americans. TIIKFIItST SYMPTOMS OF DEATH.

"Well do I remember, says a writer in the Constitution, how he spent his last year's holidtiy season, and the little story he told me of it us T sat in his office one morning sifter New Year's. He had visited his mother in Athens Christmas week and he said: "I don't think I ever Tclt happier than when I reached the little home of my boy hood. I got there at night, She had saved supper for me and she had re membered all the things I liked.

At J. C. Dements' SEALING SEASON OPENS. Only Three Sealers Will Go From Paget Sound. The sealing schooner Ailie I. Alger, Capt E. P. Miner, will start out on a Eealing cruise on the 27th of January. The vessel i3 now receiving an outfit of provisions. Tho schooner Henry Dennis is being fitted out at Port Townsend and will start on a cruise on the first of February. At Victoria 28 sealers are being fitted out From San Francisco 15 sealers will sail this year. Some have already started from ther?. At Port Madison Mr. Decker and others nro building -a shooner which will start on a sealing cruiso as soon as finished, which will bo in a few weeks. Thi3 makes three vessels from the Sound. Last year there were over three times that number. Tho British sealers will this year outnumber the Americans by quite a large majority. Those who are interested in tho seal ing business claim that thero is a potent reason for so large a number of sealers going from Victoria, and it is because the British protect their interests better and an English sealer is safer from seizure in the Behring sea than an American vessel is. In conse quence of this a number of Americans are interested in the sealers which will sail from Victoria this year un der tho protecting folds of the British ilng. In si talk with Capt Minor he said: 4I havo a crew of twenty-three souls, and expect to catch quite a number of seals. The price has gone up from $7 to 59, and there will be money iu the business. No, the business has not 1) iid heretofore when sealers remained outside or Bchriug sea, as the number of seals captured was limited. This year, however, it is anticipated that inoney will be made, r.3 the benl skin catch is now being contracted for at 9 apiece. The reason why seal skins havo advanced in price from 86 and 37 apiece to 9 is because they are more fashionable this; year that they have been for several years past" "Will yon go into the Bchriug sea this season?" "I cannot tell as yet The Alger will cruise about the Pacific until July or August, when sho will arrive at the Behring sea. Whether we will enter the sea to catch seals or not de pends altogcthar on the policy of the government. If the government al lows ns to enter we will do so, but if not we will not risk seizure by poing into forbidden waters. I cannot say whether or not the policy of tho gov ernment will bo changed because of the lapse of the Alaska Commercial company's lease." Seattle Press: An Expensive Telegraph Line. The telegraph line from Polar river to Port Magjnnis, in the department of Dakota 232 miles in length, is tho most cpstly of all the telegraph lines connected with-the military service.
