" For two years I suffered from a se
vere pain in my right side, anil had
other troubles caused by a torpid liver
and dyspepsia. After Riving .several
medicines a fair trial without a cure, I
began to take Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I
was greatly benefited by the lirst bottle,
and after taking five bottles I was com
pletely cured." John "W. Benson, 70

" Last fall and winter I was troubled

gradually grew worse until it became
almost unbearable. During tho latter

THE SALEM BRIDGE.
A Fine Strnct'ire D-.tioye:l Iiy the Flood.
The volume of water in the "Willam
ette al midnight last night says the
Salem Statesman of the 4th, was prob
ably as large as it was at its highest
point in 1SG1, although the height of
the water was probably from three to
five feet less. The most disastrous
result of the present Hood, so far as
Salem is concerned, is the washing
out of the second pier from the Marion
county side of the big bridge to Polk
county and the consequent collapse of
the two longest spans of the bridge
resting upon it. "What was the pride
of two counties now lies in Kaiser's
lottom below Salem. At just twenty
minutes to two yesterday afternoon
the south one of the canter piers on
the Marion county side bwuug around,
apparently from the bottom, bent and
cracked, just above the water line and
cntshed to the bottom of the river,
followed by the two main spans of the
big bridge. The crash was awful.
Water was thrown high in tho air,
and in a few seconds the better part or
the Crosby street structure was float
ing down with the stream. The boom
ing of the falling bridge was probably
heard all over town, and hundreds
were blanding on the banks viewing
the ruins. When the piers gave way
there were perhaps a hundred people
tanding under the trees watching the
lxiling. Toaining water as it dashed
great logs against the bridge. A
moment In-fore it fell a small log was
hurled ngainst the pier and splintered.
Afler the bridge fell the excite
ment was high Tor a time. Peo
ple were running hero and there.
Some said there were people on the
bridge and others said no. It is said
that just a few moments before the
bridge fell there were seen two men
on it. They had heard limbers crash
ing, and just as they stepped from the
last span going to the Salem side it
fell behind them. Had they been one
step later in leaving it they must have
been carried down to immediate de
struction. The ones who thns mirac
ulously escaped were Bill Chambers,
ji cabman, and a young man named L.
GooLsby. They said they heard the
timbers cracking and walked rapidly
over the long spau, and just as they
stepped from it, it fell.
The north pier stood a half hour
swaying from the immense pressure
below, and then toppled over with
a mighty noise. The two spans that
fell first were 500 feet in length, the
east one being 270 and the center one
2.'JU. They fell up stream and were
soon out of sight, being carried quickly
with the current. All Monday after
noon the frame approach on the west
w:ls cracking and giving way in places.
Driftwood caught in it, and the pres
sure wjis so great by 5 o'clock that it
too gave way and fell with a roar.
This left nothing but the west span
standing. It was 200 feet long, and
w:is supported by two piers at either
end. It stood the strain until 11:40
last night, when the iron and concrete
piers gave way beneath it, and it, too
was precipitated into the wales be
neath. The bridge and the first two
piers fell tip stream, indicating that
the cause of the fall of Hie structure
was that tho piers had been under
mined by the swiftly running stream.
In front of the last span the drift
breakers were still standing at 2
o'clock this morning, but they were
not very firm and will perhaps not be
standing now. All that is left today
to tell the story or the big free bridge
is the Center-street approach and its
two supporting piers.

Somewhat on the Lift.
Louis Cyr is the greatest knowu
professional lifter of heavy weights
that this country has ever produced.
He is a French Canadian, and was
born at St Johns, Quebec, on October
11, 18G3, which makes him now in his
twenty-seventh year. He is a man of
remarkable development, as will be
seen by the following physical meas
urements: Height, 5 feet 10) inches;
chest, inflated, 58 inches; waist 48
inches; biceps, 21J inches; thigh, 32
inches; calf 24 inches; collar 22 inches;
weightj 253 pounds. He has not been
prominently before the public more
than a few years, but the feats he
has performed in public in differ
ent parts of Canada have excited
the wonder of all beholders,
while the best of them have
taken place in the presence of regu
larly npointcd judges, who have
vouched for the correctness of the
weights lifted. The more important
are as follews: On October 1, 18S8, at
lierthierville, Canada, he raised 3,356
pounds of pig iron placed on a plat
form, pushing up with back, amis and
legs until the plank was lifted clear off
tho trestles uikhi which it rested. On
November 2, i:iS9, at St Henri, near
Montreal, he lifted a dumbbell weigh
ing libo, iKMinds with one hand rrom
the ground to the shoulder, and then
pushed it slowly up from the shoulder
to arms length above tho shoulder,
using only one hand; same time
and place, lifted a pair of dumblclls
weighing 4 10 ounds attached to a
cord about three feet long, witli one
linger. His physical development ex
cels that of Ixith Sampson and San
dow, whose feats at the Westminster
aquarium, London, England, have
created such a sensation there. Cyr
has issued a challenge to iKithof these
famous athletes to comtiete with him
in a series of legitimate fetes of
strength, and some time m the future
there may be a public competition be
tween the trio for the championship,
which would certainly excite much in
terest, and in all probability result in
the success of the subject of our
sketch. So far, however, neither
Sandow or Sampson has manifested
any inclination to make a match for
money.
Blaine's Calamity.
As we read symptoms, the death of
Walker Blaine about means tho death
of secretary Blaine. He is liable to
continue to breathe for some lime to
come, but in the higher sense the
life of the great leader will be buried
in the casket with his son. When
the ambition of a man like James
G. Blaine, the ambition and
the life-long hopes or such a mau
arc suddcnlv crushed out there is not
much left His was the most bnovant
of hearts and his dream was to achieve
the very highest pinnacle of renown
that by public designation can be
given to tin American. The failure
of 1S7G crushed him sorely; the failuro
of lbtl was a nughtv blow, but the
saving clause of it was that what he
had hoped for himself might come to
one who was dearer to him than him
self.
Now that hojic has gone out and tho
wires tell us that as one who is dazed
he goes about with a supernatural
quiet that is the distress of his fam
ily. Well may it distress them, and
through it they mav begm to nerve
their hearts for a slill heavier blow
that is soon to come to them.
The iioliticians, in making their
calculations aad combinations, mav
henceforth leave Mr. Blaine from their
reckonings, lie is not a iossible fac
tor any more. All the shafts that
envy and malice and jetdousy and
fear could aim at him he could not
shake ofT. Something has smitten
him now that will bo sullicient No
second blow will be needed. To all
iutenis and purjoses he has already
passed into history, and whether
he continues to walk around for a few
days or months, or even years, will not
matter. The real life of the indomit
able man will be buried in the casket
with his son's body to-day.- iSuJl
