and in answer to the complaint seta np
tho claim ihat Mrs. Kinross deserted
him.
Mrs. Kinross is at present on the
vandoville slago in Oakland. The di
vorce proceedings were begun by her
several weeks ago, whi'e Mr. Kinross
was Hllinii an engagement as vocalist at
Memphis, Tenn. She recited in her
complaint that the husband was an idie,
prrtligale and dissolute man, who had

and her child.
W. 11. Kinross is quite well known in
Southern Oregon, having acted as
director at musical conventions in Ash

The ilravery of Woman.
Was grandly shown by Mrs. John
Dowling of Butler, Pa., in a three yeara'
struggle with a malignant stomach trou
ble that caused distressing attacks of
nausea and indigestion. All remedies
failed to relieve her until she tried Klec
trie Hitlers. After taking it two months
she wrote: "I am now wholly cured
and can cat anything. It is truly a
grand tonic for the whole system as 1

since using it." It aids digestion, cures
dyspepsia, improves appetite, gives new
life. Only 50c. Guaranteed, at Dr.

practically certain that our troops will
be kept in Pekiu as long as the negoti
at ions which Li and several other
Chinamen are to conduct on lw.lili nr
the Chinese government, go on there.
Minister Conger has sent an important
communication concerning those neiroti'
ations, but the department of the stale
declines to give it out. It ia known
that Mr. Conger does not feel as much
confidence in LI Hung Chang, as this
vernment has exhibited, and he has
probably sent a word of warning as to
tue danger ol trusting him too far,
Shrewd observers are predicting that
soon alter the opening of negotiations
with the Chinese the allies will split and
mai eacn nation will endeavor to get
the bt t settlement it can regardless ol
what the others get. That is believed to

that Uermauy and Russia will in th

show his wilhnguesa to flaht for his treaty
trade rights in China, if not actually to

man uas need to be very wide awake to
escape being buncoed.
Mr. S. Iwaunira, who is a graduate of
the Japanese Imperial University and
Chief Secretary ol the Kjota Chamber
ol Commerce, who is making a armi.
official tour of tin Uuitod Slates, with
view to increasing business between
Americans and Japanese. Is ,.n- i
Wsshliigtoii. He expressed himself as
to what ought to bo dona by tlm powers
111 vnina: "There are two uoi.
luio courses lor Ihe power to take in
ueaimg wun me tuture iu China. One
is to make a confederacy out of the
country, with the different provinces as
independent states, like the (ierinan
rnipirs. 1 ue sneonu course ia to
preserve the Chinese empire under new
rulers. The formation of a confederacy
would be no easy taik for the powers.
and they would have to act as protectors
and general overseers all the time. If
the powers interested in China would
stand firm in the maintenance of th
Chinese confederacy, tho thing could be
accomplished. The present dynasty has
not suiRcient support nor popularity to
maintain its authority. Many of the
ignorant and siiierstitioiis natives are
led to lielieve through the "star u...r."
that the end ol the piesent dynasty ia
ear, ana I lie multitudes look lor a new
. wiuiiii a snort time. A atrnin.
army will bu needed in China all the
time, and Japan can furnish this
army if the other interested powers will
come forward with the money."
Washington people have already done
much for the Galveston sufferers, but they
are to do more. Wednesday of this
week has been set aside as Oalveston
day. Every theater iu the city will give
a bentflt performance, the entire gross
receipts to go to the relief fund, and
there are lew persons in the city who
will not contribute something, directly,
or Indirectly on that day.
Ex-Secretary and Ex-Senator Carlisle

Scientific investigation, supplemented
by experienca, has shown that urinary
diseases are more prevalent aad de
structive to lite, health and happiness
than any other class known to the
medical fraternity. They are not con
Sued to the low and degraded portions
of humanity, as many suppose, but are
to be found among the pur of heart,
the innocent, -the truly pious and the
aealthy.
Many of them are transmitted from
parents to children, from generation to
to generation. Thousands of peopli
suffer untold agoniea from their ravag
ing effects, and meet and early and on
timely death, often ignorant of the
cause. Though transmitted innocently
Ihe effects of these diseases are not th
less terrible. It'ls a sad truth that the
innocent are often greater sufferers thau
the guiltv.
Of all the organs of the budy few are
more Important than those engaged in
tho urinary functions. In perlect health
that great blessing which so few
enjoy one will scarcely direct a mo
merit's thougut to these important
organs, and at the first unpleasant
symptom, good advice, such as may
easily be obtained, should be immediate
ly solicited. .
Among me cuiet and most common
diseases is seminal weakueas and
nervous debility, or loss of nurv power,
due to mastuibatiou and veual exercises,
Thousands of young and middle aged
men suffer with nervous diseases' for
years and may be ignorant of the causes
when a little timely advice would niak
life's pathway full of cheer and happi
ness. When the first symptoms of
seminal weakness manifest themselves
the sufferer ia noticed to become dull
and morose and Is trouble with indiges
tion, though the appetite may remain
good. Rut the strength vanishes and
the lalient .grows thin. He becomes
indolent and debilitated, and loss of
memory and all vigor of the sexual
organs may fullow. In time he way
fall Into a complete state of lin potency
total loss ol sexual power. Among its
terrible effects may be mentioned w,ak
nets of the memory, confusion of ideas,
nervous despondency and general weak
ness. It needs no mirror it reflects
itself, The pale lace, the sunken eye.tli
downcast countenance, the stooping
aged lorin- all serve to announce the
victim' troubles. It seldom kills of
tself, but it opens the gate to other
diseases, such as consumption and
disease ef the heart. The unfortunate
sufferer cannot sleep. In that Inter
mediate statu, between life and death,
intended, for the recuperation of the
mind and body, he can know no rest
for his dreams are dark and foreboding.
nd the constant drain UKn his system
robs it of its vital fluid.
This alDlalion may be the result of
self-ahiiseor the result of excesses in
mature years. As "man is but a bundle
of habits," how essential that be should
start right in life; that his mind should
be full ol sublime thought and pure con
ceptions. All of you who suffer from
this disease should lose no time in
consulting Dr. Damn, for the lime may
come when you will be beyond the aid
of all medical skill.
No matter what you have taken, or
who has failed to cure you, call and see
the Doctor, as he can permanently
aalety and privately cure you In on
hall the time and at one half the ex
penses reiiil-cd by others.

Th Japanese agricultural exhibit at
tract attention not only on account ol
it novolty, but also because of the
development iu this line, as in o many
other direction, ol this remarkable
Eastern people. "The wonderful trans
formation ol the Empire of lb Rising
r-unnss ottered an example, without
precedent in the history ol nations, ol a
people passing In less than thirty years
troin tl.e most feudal of government.
to democratic and parliamentary form"
from civilisation rusty with ate to one
cloaely resembling our own" say a
French writer, iu a recently published
book on Japan. His observation I a
true ol the agricultural innltutiona aa of
the other changes Impressed npon th
ocial organisation ol Japan since 1808.
A visitor can easily trace the revolution
in economic conditions 'of agricultnrt by
examining, in the hall on Ilia Champ
de Man, the maps, photographs, papers,
diagrams, eto. which accompany the
collection ol Japanese Drodnci. Tim
working people have especially bene-
mica ol recent years, having aroiiired
be right lo own the soil, which lor
eighteen centuries had been the prop
erty 01 me imperial government or ol
leudal seigneurs.
Japan ia composed, as I well known
01 a considerable number ol islands ol
more or Iws importance, scattered from
the South in north-westerly direction.
Mountain cover the country and almost
touch the shore everywhere; plain are
rearely touod and are ol (mall extent.
The soil 1 not very productive, and it i

The total sis o! th laud 1 a little less

port a population ol over 40,000,01)0,
the native inhabitant forming about
forty three and a quarter million, of
Uii number. The people are essenti
ally agricultural, and rice i the chief
product 0! the soil. Counting the
number ol acre under cultivation, and
the number ol Inhabitants, it is lonnd
that each family ha on an average 3
acre from which lo draw sustenance.
Evidently, Japan is country of (mill
farm, and i not adapted to ibe use of
large agricultural machinery. The pop
ulation, alo, i so dense that baud labor
very cheap, Workmen' wage
are about $16 per year, women earning
about hall that amount.

doe not link to the bed of the river, but
settles In the gravel within a few feet of
th surface, and o It extreme lightness
make it bard to aave. A system ol bur
laps connected with the sluices, how
ever, baa proven (uccessful, and ground
that pat ten cent to th cubic yard can
be profitably worked, no gold being left
la the tailings. The dredge he has Just
set up and built in Portland al a cost ol
$15,000, and it bucknta bring up grave
and gold from a depth of 30 feat below
lbs surface of the water. It capacity I
2000 yards per day, and a crew of 10
men keep It In constant operation.
The old suction dredge will also b
operated day and night, about .11) tr.ilo
below the new one, a a bar ha been
found wliere pay gravel exist near the
top. Dredging can be carried on
successfully lor nine month In a year,
he say, a the slaga ol water doe not
affect the working ol the machinery,
and Ihe depth ol the bucket can be
regu'atcd to suit (resbei or low-water
apell. The freeslng period liable to
occur In December, January and Fer
ruary would put a atop to th work (or a
few week at a lime.
The only other dredge at work on
Hnake River at present, be says, Is the
"Kanake," owned by th Uold field
of Oregon Company, torn diuUnca be
low, at what I known aa Hi Dig llend
ol the Hnake, oppotil Parmer station
on th Oregon Hhort Lin. He look
t lor an increase in the number ot the
plants, however, a there are, donbtles,
other bars on Bnaks River, between fta
headwater and Riparia, where good
prospects can be found.
The construction ol dredging plants
ha become quite an industry in Port
land, where a number have been built
within the past lew year. Borneo!
these have been sent to Southern Ore
gon jothor to Alaska, while the only
bucket dredge successfully worked on
the bar of Snake river have been built
in this city, .
A glance at the picture ol ooe ol theee
dredge will causa one lo think ol a
river tean.boat, a the craft let on the
water much after the laab ion ol a pas
senger and height carrier, but there is
neither propeller nor stern wheel, and
so the dredge can only be moved by out
side aid. The crew ol the dredge live
on board ol her, and so are clow to
their work at all lime. In sand bar
th oraft make a canal for heraell, be
ing moved forward a he dig out the
goldberlng gravel, which I thrown off
to one side after the flour (old ha been
ex trailed. -','
