HAPPENINGS OF THE PAST FEW
DAYS FROM ALL QUARTERS.
ASHLAND. Or.„..Thursday, Nov. 9, 1899
Monthly
L o . vdox , October 31.—The war office
received a dispatch from General White,
commanding the British forces at Lady
smith, reporting that the Royal Irish
fiuileers, No. 10 Mountain battery and
the Gloucestershire regiment were sur
rounded in the hills by Boers, and, after
losing heavily, were obliged to capitu
late.
C olenbo (Natal), November 2.—The
Boers have commenced shelling Coleu60,
their fire being directed against Fort
Wylie, which defends the Tuegla bridge.
L owdox , November 4.—The war office
has issued the following announcement:
“The Colonial office has received infor
mation to the effect that the troops have
withdrawn from Colenso aud have con
centrated farther south, but have 110
news of any engagement in that neigh
borhood.”
L ondon , November 5.—The evacua
tion of Colenso is undoubtedly a most
serious matter for the British iu Natal,
as it not only testifies to the complete
investment of Ladysmith by the Boers,
but makes the relief of General Sir
George Stewart White an extremely
difficult operation. Colenso is the point
«where the railway from Ladysmith
crosses the Tugela river, which is now
in flood. The town itself is of small
importance. It is dominated by the
hills on the north side of the river, and
so was untenable if the Boers have ad
vanced as they seem to have done.
Moreover, only a small naval and colo
nial force was stationed at Colenso.
The seriousness of the evacuation,
however, lies in the fact that Command
ant-General Joubert, while completely
investing Sir George White at Lady
smith, can Beize this Tugela bridge, and,
if he has sufficient troops, can detach a
force and send it southward on Pieter
maritzburg, and, in any case, by de
stroying the bridge and railway, can
prevent any relief expedition reaching
Sir George White for some time.
L ondon , November 6. — A dispatch
from 2Ptetarmaritzburg, Natal, dated
November 3d, says: “ The Dutch resi
dents here have received news of a
sanguinary battle -fought yesterday,
probably between Ladysmith and Co
lenso. A large number of the Boers
were killed, many being relatives of
Natal Dutch residing in this place. The
English residents have no knowledge of
any engagement.”

last week. Three persons are supposed
to have perished. Property loss will

C. A. Raymond and J. H. Orniandy
were before the United States district
court at L >s Angeles last week for sen
tence. The two men had been found
guilt of counterfeiting at Pismo beach,
Sau Luis Obispo county. Raymond I
pleaded guilty and attempted to shield
Orniandy, but the jury found the latter
guilty. Ormandy and Raymond were
each given ten y« ars at San Quentiu.
Shortly after being Sentenced Ormandy
attempted to commit suiside.
Mrs. Rhoda Horton and her daughter
Eliza Jane, were shot aud killed in their
farmhouse, half a mile from Hancock,
Mass., by George Harriman, a farm
hand. Harriman also shot himself and
his recovery is doubtful.
Luther Hungerford, charged at Santa
Ana with the murder of James Marion
Gregg, and recently found guilty
of murder in the seoond degree, has
been discharged from custody on motion
of the district attorney. The judge
found the verdict of the jury would nqt
stand owing to a technical point. The
prosecution could introduce no new evi
dence and the ease was dismissed.
In the supreme court of Keru oouuty,
Ylabel Molina was convicted of the mur
der of A. Romos, which occurred on
December 2, 1897, and the sentence of
the court was that he hang. The de
feudunt appealed upon errors alleged to
have been made by words of the dis I
trict attorney in the presence of the
jury, but the supreme court did not up
hold the contention and affirmed the
judgment.
The Aberdeen Packing company ’>
cannery at Fairhaven, Wash., was de
stroyed by fire a few days ago. The
loss will reach <150,000.
Governor Gage has proclaimed Thurs

A special dispatch from Washington
asserts that the American state depart
ment recently asked France, Germany
and Russia to give written assurances I
regarding the preservation of the “open i
door” in China, being dissatisfied with
the mere oral assurance and rejecting a
proposal that the United States should
seize a port and establish a sphere of in
fluence in China.
A dispatch from Washington says:
The United States, Great Britain and
Germany decided here to dissolve the

less cash in the treasury, amounted to
<1,146,629,581, a decrease during the

accounted for by the increase in the
amount of cash on hand, and the in- '
creased redemption of national bank!
notes. The debt is recapitulated as fol- j
lows: Interest-bearing debt, $1,046,049,- i
020; debt on which interest has ceased !

1898. The expenditures for the last
mouth aggregated $44,174,086, against;
$53,982,276 for October last year, leav-1
ing a surplus for the month of $3,359,-'
532. During the four months of the pre
sent fiscal year the receipts amounted to
$190,900,164, aud the expenditures $183,-
851, 152, which leaves a surplus for the
present fiscal year of $7,049,012. The
receipts from customs during the last
month amounted to $18,807,809, against
$15,555,234 for the corresponding mouth
last year. Internal revenue last month
produced $26,455,533, against $22,356,511 ■
for October last year. The expenditures
last mouth charged to the war depart
ment amounted to $12,477,395, against
$2,895,029 for October last year; navy
$5,120,648, against $5,814,567 for Oc-

Bot I Mighty Serious Fact Just the Sami.
There is a story of a man who was put in
public pillory because he couldn't pay a
small debt. An anxious friend came to
inquire about the circumstances and then
exclaimed argumentatively :—
“ Why, goodness gracious man, they can’t
put you in the pillory, just for debt 1 ”
“Perhaps not,”, replied the victim of
mistaken justice ; “ but here I am.

The seemingly impossible often comes
true. If a man should tell his friends that
he was dying of indigestion many of them
would exclaim: “Why, man, indigestion
isn’t a killing complaint! ” His all-suffi
cient answer would be, “ZZ is killing me.”
The fact is, indigestion in the full sense
of the term is the most killing of all com
plaints. The worst diseases that flesh is
heir to, have their beginnings in bad diges
tion. People who die of wasting illnesses
and blood diseases are simply starved to
death because the stomach and blood-mak
ing glands don’t furnish sufficient nourish
ment to feed the constitution. Most of the
people who die of consumption die because
their lungs can't get enough good blood
from the digestive organs.
When these fail to do their work and a
torpid liver allows the circulation to be
come choked up with bilious poisons, the
whole system is laid wide open to every
form of malignant and fatal malady.
People by hundreds write every day to
Dr. Pierce, at Buffalo. N. Y., declaring that
his “Golden Medical Discovery ” has cured
them of some dangerous illness that the
doctors could not master : yet all that this
“Discovery” does is to enable the diges
tive and nutritive organism to make good
blood, and gives the liver power to keep it
pure. Nature does the rest.
An instance of how the digestive organ
ism affects the whole body for [¡food or evil
is shown in the case of a little girl living in
Chase (Chase Co.), Nebraska. Her father,
Mr. C. C. Rummell, in a grateful letter to
Dr. Pierce, writes:
“ In February, 1895, our little girl had a severe
attack of grip. It settled in her stomach, caus
ing inflammation of stomach and bowels. We
had two doctors who gave up the case: the third
relieved her, but September found her helpless,
in fact a mere skeleton. Our doctor being fifteen
miles away it was almost impossible to go to
him once a week, so concluded to try Dr.
Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery and ‘ Pleas
ant Pellets.’ Nine bottles cured her. Our bill
to other doctors was one hundred dollars, and
to Or, Pierce, only nine dollars.”
A new lease of life is given by this mar
velous “ Discovery ” to all who are victims
of mal-nutrition. It creates a vital activity
of the entire system which promotes the
elimination of poisonous disease germs and
wasted tissue and the rapid building up of
solid, muscular flesh. L,. S. Finney, Esq.,
of Amelia, Alleghany Co., N. C., writes :

” After recovering from a spell of typhoid
fever, I was taken with a terrible cough. After
trying several remedies and all to no avail I
decided to try Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. After taking one bottle I felt greatly
relieved, and after using seven bottles I was
entirely cured. Dr. Pierce’s medicine is all it is
claimed to be., It is worth its weight in gold to
suffering humanity,”
For thirty years Dr. Pierce has been chief
consulting physician of the Invalids’ Hotel
and Surgical Institute of Buffalo, N. Y.,
where he has had probably a more exten
sive and practical experience in treating
obstinate chronic diseases than any other
physician in America. His remarkable
prescriptions have au unmatched reputa
tion throughout the English - speaking
world as the most marvelously efficacious
remedies ever devised.
They are the result of genius, experience
and scientific common sense. His famous
“Favorite Prescription” for women is
unquestionably the most perfect and suc
cessful remedy ever invented for every
form of female complaint. Taken in con
junction with the Golden Medical Dis
covery,” the two constitute a complete and
effective course of treatment for weak, nerv
ous, overwrought women.
A copy of Dr. Pierce’s great thousand-
page illustrated book the ‘ ‘ Common Sense
Medical Adviser,” will be sent free of
charge on receipt of 21 one-cent stamps, to
pay the cost of mailing only ; or for 11
stamps a heavier cloth-bouna copy. Ad
