At Ukiah, Cal., John Watham was Bhot and killed by Clarence White. The delinquent State railroad taxes of California amount to $643,001.30. Dan Carrigan, 14 years old, while hunting near Martinei, Cal., was killed by the accidental discharge of his gun. The Spokane Falls Chronicle says the real estate transfers in that city, for the year 1887, foot up the enor mous aggregate oi f z,oOU,UW. The unusual cold weather has been very severe on jack-rabbits, and hun dreds of them have frozen and starved to death, says the Boise Statesman. The bill to remove the capital of Washington Territory from Olympia to North Yakima, was defeated in the House by a rote of 12 to 11. Nathan B. Sutton was hanged at Oakland, Cal. Sutton was a farmer and shot and killed a neighbor, Alex. Martin, for allowing his cattle to wan der on Sutton's land. Ed. Davis was fatally shot by Ed Canman, at Rhonerville, CaL Bad feeling had existed between the men for Some time. Canman gave him self up. Davis died at 9 o clock. . Charles McClain, of Whidby island, W. T., while listening to his wife, who was reading aloud to him, quietly passed to that land beyond the grave. Heart disease is supposed to have been the cause. A laboring man was crossing trestle between Sacramento and Davis- ville, when a local tiain came upon him before he could get out of the way. He was struck by the locomo tive and fatauy injured. An official of the Seattle, Lake Shore and Eastern railway says that com pany has 60 men opening its immense coal veins in Squak valley, and by next winter expects to be hauling into Seattle at least 1,000 tons a day. The Dayton (W. T.) Chronicle states that a petnhed man has been dis covered by a farmer in a lonely gulch nine miles from that place. Ho was leaning against a small bluff of rock and upon examination was found to be completely turned to stone. Two men have been engaged in pas sing counterfeit silver dollars . in Tacoma. The counterfeit is thicker than the genuine coin, and can be easily detected. They are made of pure lead. The police have been on the lookout for the rascals. A 32-pound cannon ball was found at the foot of Pine street, Seattle, in excavating for a building. It will be preserved as a relic of the early days as it is supposed to be from the guns of the man-of-war ship Decatur, which sailed into Elliott Bay in lsoo, during the Indian war. The hop crop of the Pacific Coast for 1887 is estimated at 74,219 bales. Of this total California is credited with 36,424 bales, Oregon with 10,300 bales, Washington Territory with 27,- 400 bales and British Columbia with 95 bales. The number of acres in hops is set down at 11,297, of which 2,013 were in Oregon and 3,927 in Washington. Fred Neitzel, proprietor of a saloon in Old Tacoma, was murdered by an unknown person, who escaped, bnt in a wounded condition. Neitzel was shot through the body bv his assail ant, who was secreted in the saloon and attacked him while he was count- v ine his monev. The police pursued the robber and shot him, but he could not be found. According to an exchange, a man stood m the street at Ruby City, W T., and killed two deer.

The bed were situated on the shoalwater flat which froze over during the cold snap last week. v hen the tide came i the ice floated, with the oysters ad hering to the under surface, and with the ebb tide the entire field was car ried out to sea. The damage to the oyster industry in that locality will aggregate several hundred dollars. In Anaconda, Montana, while Mr and Mrs. James Clark were absent from home, their two children, a baby and a 5-year-old girl, in playing with matches set the curtain on fire. The fire quickly communicated to other inflammable material in the room, and in a very short time the whole struct ure was in a blaze. The 8 year-old boy of Mr. Cornelius, a near neighbor, managed to get the older of the two babies out of the burning house, and tried manfully to save the other, but unavailingly, and before other help . reached the scene the little one was burned to death A mercurial thermometer held In the sun's rays, and not in contact with any other body, will show but little rise in temperature, the radiant heat being reflected from the bright sur face of the mercury, like light from a mirror. But, if the bulb be coated with lampblack or some absorbent of heat, a rise in temperature will be in dicated at once. So the heat rays from the sun may be passed through a lens of ice, and concentrated to a sufficient degree to ignite combustibles placed at the focus, without melting the ice of which the lens is formed.

Epltcme of the Principal Erato Now Attracting Public Interest Another Colliery Blsa.ter In Brit ish t'oleiinbla. Victoria, B. C- An explosion oc curred in No. 5 shaft of the Wellington collieries, R. Dunsmuir & Sons, pro prietors. The force of the explosion displaced all of the hoisting gear. Hon; Dunsmuir proceeded in a special train to the mine immediately after the news came here. An eye- witness states that when about 100 yards from the pit he heard a report like a large cannon, and there instantly shot far into the air a dense mass of black smoke and dust which converted the snowy covering of the ground into inky blackness. This continued for hve minutes, and then subsided, leaving everything appar ently as before, though a- portion of the fan house had been destroyed. Manager Bryden at once proceeded to the shaft, and attention was first paid to repairing the fan house, which was quickly accomplished, and the fan started again. The shaft timbers were destroyed and the cages could not be used, but a pulley and rope were at once prepared. Meanwhile the first man to come out of the pit had climbed, by means of the cage wire cable, through the shattered timbers to within 100 feet of the top, when a rope was lowered to him and he reached the surface in an exhausted condition. A second. miner was also enabled to get, by this perilous method, to the earth, while it is reported that a third, when fafty feet from the top, lost his hold and fell to certain death at the bottom of the shaft. Two men were then low ered as a search party, and returned stating that nothing could be heard but calls from' below. fortunately the miue had not been fired, so dan ger from this source was averted. A t :mporary cage was made and lowered to a considerable depth, miners reach ing it by means of ladders. The explosion took place in the last level. In this twenty white miners were imprisoned, and fears that they were all killed were verified later, as all were carried to the surface dead, and the work of taking out Chinese began. Thirty-four white men and thirty-six Chinese lost their lives. The mine - is damaged to the extent of about $ 30,000. The cause of the ex plosion is a mystery. June men were cremated in aboard inghousa fire at Tower, Minn. Engineer Jas. Connor and fireman M. Whaley were instantly killed by a train accident on the South Park R. R. at St. Elmo, Colo. v The celebrated trotting stallion Happy Medicine, valued at $40,000, died at Lexington, Ky. He was the property of Gen. W. T. Withers. A railway accident occurred on the Salem branch of the Delaware and Hudson railway, near Troy, N. Y., from the results of which four men will probably die. Many others were seriously but not fatally hurt. Stephen and Samuel Byer and Jo seph Kalep were struck by the New York fast express on the New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio railroad, near Sharon, Pa., and instantly killed. The men were in a buggy when the ex press struck them. They were all married and leave families. Near Albany, Ga., a son of George Thomas and four other boys drove a horse and wagon into a pond at bis father's stock pen, and eventually got beyond the vehicle's depth and were left struggling in the water. Two negroes plunged in and saved one of the lads, but four others drowned. A prospecting party of four men were attacked ninety miles southeast of vascasarri, Mexico, by Apaches. One of the prospectors, named Jacobs, was killed, and another, "Big Jake," was mortally wounded. The other men fought the Indians off and es caped. The Indians succeeded in getting some burros and provisions from the party. The band is thought to be the same that escaped from Miles near San Bernardino ranch at the time of Geronimo's surrender, and since raiding southern Sonora. At St. Paul, Minn., Mrs. John Wil kins has filed suit-for divorce against her husband, alleging that he has, until lately, had live wives, all being in St. Paul. He married complainant in Pennsylvania fifteen years ago. They lived happily until they came to St. Paul a year ago, but here he began his polygamous exploits, marry ing in rapid succession Emma Stetson, Kate Fox, Mrs. French and Hattie Bowles, each under an assumed name. The strain of keeping up five separate establishments was too much for him, and he took Emma Stetson and left town. A triple murder occurred at Ocean side, Cal. A rancher in Moosa canyon named Levy Stone, went east a year ago on business. During his absence a family named Goen, a widow with two sons and a daughter, took posses sion of his ranch, cabin and furniture. On Stone's return he instituted legal proceeding, and his title was con firmed. When Sheriff Breedlove, Deputy Freeman and two citizens went to take possession, the whole family of Goens faced the officers with revolvers. ' In the melee which fol lowed citizen Reed was fatally shot. A daughter of Mrs. Goen was acciden tally shot in the neck, by her brother, and fell dead. Percy Goen was 6hot through the head and arm fatally. His sister and brother were dead when the officers retired with their wounded comrades. The March of Progress.

Y. Ledger,. . . CONGRESSIONAL. Legislation Pertaining to the Interest of the Pacific Coast 8KSATR. In the Senate Mitchell offered a resolution which provides that the Secretary of the Interior shall report to the Senate the condition of the Coour d'Alene Indian reservation in Idaho. The reservation contains 480,- 000 acres, and only 476 Indians are upon it, thus giving more than 1,000 acres to each man, woman and child. The resolution directs the Secretary of the Interior to also report to the Sen ate what can be done to provide prop erly for the Indians, and at the same time Becure the use of this vast terri tory and its waterways, containing vast mineral deposits and rich acn cultural interests, for the use of settlers. Senator Mitchell's bill creating a new land district in Oregon was re ported to the Senate by Senator Dolph, from the Committee on Public Lands, with a recommendation that it pass. The district includes all that territory now embraced in the Lakeview, La Grande and Dalles districts within the following boundaries : Beginning at Snake river, in Oregon, on the town ship line between 12 and 13 townships south of the second standard parallel ; thence west to the northwest corner of township 13 south, range 24 east of the Willamette meridian : thence one south to the northwest comer of town ship 29, range 23 east, Willamette me ridian ; thence east to the boundary line of the State of Oregon ; thence north to the point of beginning, at the state line. Senators Stewart and Dolph pre sented to the Senate vigorous protests from the wool-growers of Nevada, Eastern Oregon and Idaho against reduction of the tariff upon wool. The following bills have passed the benate : Bill to extend the limits of the port of Portland, Or., as a port of entry. Bill amending act of June 10, 18S0 as to the immediate transportation of dutiable goods, extending the same to Seattle and Tacoma, W. T.

I am no moie afraid of malaria than I am of you," and as the peaker was at least le.i indies tall, r than the reporter, and proportionately broader, his fear of that dread malady was probably not excessive. I've had malaria, nd I've been cured." "Yes, but a man can have malaria more than once." "Not if he is cured the way I was. About ten years ago I was living in Indiana, in Vigo county, near 'lerra Haute. In thoBe days a man was re garded as a stranger until he had drank about a gallon of whiskey and quinine, and shaken down his bead- Stead three or four times with the ague. I had a rather reticent nature, and I suppose it took the climate longer to get acquainted with me than it did the ordinary run of men. For I had to drink about a barrel of whiskey and take whole pounds of quinine before I could eet strong enough to even shake myself, let alone a bed. "How was I cured T "Will it was a novel cure. I boarded with a Mrs. Dennis, who told me she could cure me if I would take her medicine. Finally I agreed. She brought a towel and bound it around my head bo I could not see ; then ahe brought a glass of water and told me to take my doe and immediately swal low the water. The dose tasted like a little ball of dust, and as it was going down I felt a sharp pain in my throat, as if it had been scratched. The next morning Mrs. DenniB brought a little box and showed me her medicine. It was a big, hairy, black spider, alive, and the mate ro the one I had swallowed the day before." The medicine this gentleman took for malaria, may have been eflective, but few would care to try the remedy. Nor is there any necessity for it. Malaria is a poisoned condition of the blood produced by bad air and water, which enter the blood-ehannels through the stomach and lungs and other wars, and produce injurious el fects on the liver and kidneys. It is cured by putting the liver and kidneys in perfect, healthy working order. The drugs ordinarily used for such purposes frequently do qnite as much harm as good, and leave the f ysteni in an enfeebled condition. The certain and harmless remedy for malaria is Warner's safe cure which puts the liver and kidnevs in healthy action, when the poison is carried out of the system, and the serious effects it engenders, pass away. J. al. Booth Springfield, Mass.,underdateof March 28th, 1887, writes: '-One year ago I had the malaria had had it more or less for ten pears. I stopped all other medicines and took Warner's safe cure, and it cured me. This country is famous for malaria, and I know Warner's safe cure will cure it." People who live in malarious locali ties will find in Warner's safe cure a specific aeainst contracting this dis ease. The malarial poison can find no entrance to the system, if the liver and kidneys are kept in healthy action The gentleman who swallowed the spider, concludes his narrative in the New ork Mail and hrprt$t by saying "I was effectually cund, but wouldn't take ancther dose of that medicine to save my life.

The microscope has proved that these diseases are contagious, and that they are due to the presence of living parasites in the lining membrane of the upper air passages and eustachian tubes. The eminent scientists, Tyn dall, Huxley and B alt endorse this, and these authorities cannot be dis puted. The regular method of treat ing these diseases has been to apply an irritant reme ly, weekly and even daily, thus keeping the delicate mem brane m a constant state of irritation, allowing it no chance to heal, and as a natural consequence of such treat ment not one permanent cure has ever been recorded. It is an absolute fact that these diseases can not be cured by any application made oftener than once in two weeits, for the mem brane must get a chance to heal before an application is repeated. It is now seven years since Mr. Dixon discovered tl e parasite in catarrh ai.d formulated his new treatment, and since then his remedy has become a household word in every country where the English language is spoken. Cures effected by him Beven years ago artcum gtul, there having been no return oi the disease So highly are these remedies valued that ignorant imitators have staited up everywhere pretending to destroy a paraxite of which they know nothing, by remedies, the result of the applica tion of which they 'are equally igno rant. Mr. Dixon s remedy t applied only once in two weeks, and from one to three applications effect a perma nent cure in the most aggravated cases. Mr. Dixon sends a pamphlet de scribing his new treatment on the receipt of Btamp to pay pot-tage. The addrexs ia A. H. Dixon & Son. 303 King street west, Toronto, Canada. bctrntific American.
