The Pacific Journal contains the fol lowing biographical sketch of. the life of the lato Frank S. Bates, who arrived ' In this city nearly twenty years ago, and whose death recently occurred in Ilwaco: Frank 8. Bates, whose remains were Interred In our cemetery last week was an old resident of Ilwaco. He was a native of Boston, and haa several weal thy relatives still residing there. He was bom In 1847, consequently was In his 47th year. As a young man he chose a sailor's life, and for a number of years followed the sea. Arriving: in Astoria as second officer on one of Bates Bros., of Boston, vessels In 1875, he left the sea-faringr life, and shortly af terwards located on his side of the river, where he resided until his death, His has been a checkered life, his , greatest enemy, himself, "let him who is without sin, cast the first stone." Acta speak louder than words, and dur- lng hia residence here many an act that Frank 1M dope showed that however rough the exterior, a Christian heart still beat within. Was any sick or in distress, he was among the first to ex tend hia aid and sympathy. Was a watch needed for the dead, his services were never refused, and was any char itable work on. hand, he was ready as far as his circumstances would permit, and we have never heard of an instance wherein he wilfully Injured any man. His family affairs are matters with which the public have no business to inquire into, so long as the moral law and the laws of our country are not in fringed. Frank had an education be yond the average, and at one time was j regular correspondent from this sec-1 tlon of the country to eastern papers. The funeral services were held at the Advent church, Rev. Howerton offici ating, and a large number of citizens attended, and followed the remains to their last resting place.

A DARING OUTLAW. . Herewith is a likeness of Chris Evans, one of the most daring outlaws of the westn who recently escaped from the Fresno, Cal., jail, by means of re volvers which were smuggled to him by " his wife and a waiter. He was serving a Ufa sentence for murder, train rob bery and other crimes. For some years he has been at the head of a gang of bandits who roamed through the moun tains and valleys of the Golden State, committing depredations of all kinds. The most daring exploit took place in August of 1892, when three of the gang j boarded, an express train, blew open the express car and after Berlously wounding the messenger, escaped with three sacks of gold coin. It took nine months to arrest Evans, and many men were killed In'the attempt. When cap tured, shot through both wrists and his right eye shot out, he made terms for his surrender by i which . his wife re ceived part of. the largo reward paid to his captors. He is now In the moun tains again. .If You Want Cannery and "".Fishermen's Supplies, Call on EltJWOHE SflpOHN & CO. -Pajob THE DAILY ASTORIAN n . j.

The Indians chew the cactus henrts and swallow them. They induce a con dition of exaltation. While under the influence a man is lifted out of him self, as it were. He Is wide-awake, yet dreaming. The Intellect is not clouded, but stimulated In a high degree. Hut the most remarkable thing about this plant Is that Its peculiar effect is not followed by any reaction. On that ac count it might) be Ideally adapted for sprees, it immediately arrests the re action which makes the toper bo sad after a "Jamboreo." At the some time It is neither a natvotlo or an opiate. The southern prairie Indians, with whom the eating of the plant is a religion, regard it as a cure for all dlHeases, especially for consumption. At their sacred festivals they remain for dujs in the state of ecstaoy described. Each man consumes the cactus hearts at the rat of about one an hour. The songs and ceremonies are of a dreary kind, appropriate to the method of in spiration. Experts at Johns Hopkins university will obtain from the material furnished the active principle of the plant. Thus It is expected that a new medicine, valuable, perhaps, for many remedial purposes, will be added to the pharmacopoeia. Dr. Carl Lumholt has recently dls covcred that four varieties of this cac tus aro known to the aborlsmes in northern Mexico, One iriant kind is re garded by the Indians in that part of tho country as their greatest medicine, being much more powerful than the Plant employed by the Klowas.
