LOST IN THE 8TORM- - I
On of our local edltora clipped from a
leading magazine extract) from a Tirid
description of a western blizzard which
we have taken the liberty to publish and
at the same time suggest to 11. H. War
ner & Co., the proprietors of the cele
brated Warner's Sate Cure, the feasibil
ity of taking therefrom an extract for the
introduction of one of their telling adver
tisements. The following is the descrip
tion: "At the close of a dark day in January
a sol ittry horseman wends his way across
the open prairie in one of our western
territories. He passes at long intervals
the lone cabin of the hardy frontiersman.
Two or three old settlers, of whom he has
inquired the way, have warned him that
a storm is approaching, and one of Ihem,
with true western hospilality, mges him
to tir.d shelter in his cabin for the night.
But he declines the proffered kinJness
and urges his tired horse forward.
The skv erows sudilenlv dark. Ho
decides to seek shelter. The
storm increases in its lurv. The
rider dismounts to warm tiis fast chilling
li in n't. Can srtucely breathe.
Blindness comes on. Urowsiness steals
ov--taW lite end is near. - ne
Is m the blizzard."
There is no donbt tlist the terror which
oizes thehewildere I traveler is similar to
that which overcomes one when he
learns that he is suffering from an ad
vanced Kidney Disease, and is informed
that he is in the last stages of Bright's
disease. At first he is informed that he
has a slight kidney affection. Later ht
begins to (eel tired. Slight headache.
FicVle appetite. Failure of the eye
light. Cramp in the calf of the legs.
Wakefulness. Distressing nervousness.
Rheumatic and neuralgic pains. Occa
sionally pain in the back. Scanty, dark
colored fluids, with scalding sensation,
Gradual failure of strength.
Any of the above symptoms signify
Kidney Affection, but he is told that he
is all right. His physician treats him
for symptoms and calls it a disease, when
ia reality it is but a symptom of Kidney
trouble. He may be treated for Rheu
matic or Neuralgic pains, heart affection,
or any other disease which he is most
susceptible to. Finally the patient -has
putting under the eyes, slight bloating of
the ankles and legs. His physician may
inform him that it is but the accumula
tion of blood in his ankles for want of
proper exercise.
The bloat continues and reaches his
body.
Then he is informed he has dropsical
troubles, and is tapped once or twice.
He notices it is difficult to breathe owing
to irregular action of the heart, and finally
is informed that he has a slight attack of
Bright's Disease. Soon his friends are
notified that his is an advanced case of
Bright's Disease, and that he can live
but a short time. His honorable and
dignified physician asks for counsel. It
is too late. Still he sticks to the old
family physician, and the physician
knows and" has known from the begin
ning that the patient has been stricken
with death for months, for he knows full
well that the profession acknowledge
they have no remedies for the cure of
Kidney Disease.
At last the patient suffocates is smoth
eredand dies from dropsical trouble.
Or parhaps the disease may not take the
form of a dropsical tendency, and the
patient dies from apoplexy, paralysis,
pneumonia or heart trouble. Or it may
take the form of blood .oisonii.r. In
each form the end is the same. And yet
he and his friends were warned by the
nroorietors of the celebrated remedy
known as Warner's Hate Cure, of the
lurking danger of a slight Kidneyaffec-
tion j , i
The newspapers have published the
dangers. Columns of facts have been
printed of men dying from advanced
Kidney Disease or Bright's Disease, ms
friends and physician look around with
horror and regret for seeming neglect,
but he is lost. He did not heed the warn
ing that a storm was approaching. He
declined the proffered hospitality, and
recklessly went forward into danger. He
struggled manfully for a time, but his
strength failed, he grew gradually weaker
and he was lost to the world. Not in a
blizzard, but from the terrible malady
j which is almost daily occurring in every
community, and which is doctored as a
symptom instead of what it is, a mortal
disease unless properly treated:
AN Uxi.-.ix..i,iJjii ui FEB.
An unique mid hitherto unexcelled
offer has just been mnde by the Oregon
ian Publishing Company. They tm
nouuoo that they will give away as re
wards for subscribers to their weekly
issue premiums amounting to hundreds
of dollars. The details of this offer are
too ei tensive ta be given here, occupy
ing two whole pages in 27te Weekly
Oregonian; but a general idea may be
given our readers of the extent and value
of these premiums and the comparative
ease with wuioh any and all of them
may be obtuined. As the readers of The
Weekly Oregonian are in the main
farmers throughout the great Puoillo
Northwest, so it is intended that the
premiums offered shall be won by farm
ers and used by them. Here is a list of
the principle premiums:
Minnesota Chief threshing machine;
price $700.
A Btudebuker end-spring top-buggy;
price 8215.
A self-biuding harvester; prioe 8175.
Culver's iron drag saw; prioe $150.
A Cortland spring wagon; price $150.
A Mitchell wagon; price $120.
An I. X. L. wind mill; prioe $90.
A "I'riuaiph', steam generator; price
$60.
Dick's famous feed cutter; prioe $35.
, Oundy'g patent eudleHa thresher belt;
price $o5.
A barrel of lubricating oil.
Washing machines and garden plow)
at priceB respectively, $15 and $0.
Betides there are guns, watches, books
and jaok kuivfS iu number as great as
the demand which may be made fur
them.
Everyone can obtain one of those
premiums. Everyone or the urtiolei
named will be absolutely given away
during the next three mouths. The value
of the premium a persou may get will
depend wholly upon himself or herself.
The purpose of The Oregonian iu
making this offer is to extend the circu
lation of the weekly edition, and instead
of employing agents it calls npou every
one of its friends, its readers, to help to
do this. But it does not ask them to do
this for nothing. On the contrary, the
munilioent rewards offered makes it
worth the while of every man, woman
and emiu la tne northwest who are
readers of The Weekly Oregonian to
induoe their neighbors to send their
names along with their own as subscrib
ers of that paper.
livnry one should secure a copy of The
Weekly Oregonian and read the full
descriptions oi all these premiums and
the manner in which they are t be dis
tributed. It ia a ohanoe for men and
Women, boys and gins, for old and young
alike. There is something for every one.

Great Destruction of Life and Property One
Hundred People Homeless.
Hutchinson, Kas., May 8. The wind
storm that has been raging for the last
three days oulmiuated in a cyclone in
tho northern part of Piatt county yester
day, extending' over the eastern portion
of Stafford and up into Rice county. Tin
district over which it passed is sparsely
setlleil, and hut for this fact tho loss ol
life mid property tvonM have been ter
rible. Tho cyclone first struck it spot five
miles southeast of S'uifortl, and for
utiles in a northeasterly direction left
nothing but a barren waste strewn with
wrecked house.- and barns, trees and
fences, and here and there were the
bodies of dead and crippled stock. The
only person killed outright was William
Crawford, whose neck was broken by
the flying timbers of his house which
was totally demolished. Nine others
were fatally injured. About twenty or
thirty others were more or less injured.
As soon as the news reached Stafford
a mass meeting was keld and a com
mittee organized to carry on the work of
relieving the distress in a systematic
manner. More than 1UU poople are leu
homeless and without food or clothing.
WORSE THAN FIUST R IMPORTED.
Sr. Loois, May 8. A speoial to the
Graphic, from Hutchiuson, Kan., Bays
that additional particulars from the scene
of Monday night's cyolone indioates that
the first reports were uot in the least ex
aggerated.
There have been four ndditioual deaths
reported, but three of these are disputed.
The loss of properly and stock is much
greater than was at first supposed.
The storm extended ovor nn area forty
miles in length by two miles iu width,
but the fuunel-shaped oloud touched
lightly in places. The relief committees
are doing a good work.
No intelligent estimate of the damage
oau yet be given.
WOl'liD HEED NO WARNING.
Over the Falls.
Okkoon City, Or., May 8. Just ufter
the men began work on the pulp mill
to-day Foreman Joseph Hedges sent
Robert Stewart around, with a small
boat, to Broughton's sawmill to get
some lumber. He went out from the
head of the looks shortly before 1 o'clock,
ami Mrs. Hedges soon nolioed that the
boat was not keeping ns far up the river
as usual. A small crowd collected,
among whom was William Fine and
Henry Stevens. They both called out
for him to keep up the river or ho would
go over tile falls, but he appeared to pay
but litllo attention, but kept straight
across, reaohing the breakwater about
twenty feet below its head.
He pulled rip eveu with the lioBd of
the breakwater and asked Joo Painter,
who was near, if he could got to the
sawmill that way, Joe shouted, "No;
you will go over the fall-i that w ly,
Come into the raoo."
Sle' art paid no heed, but permitted
the boat to drift baok of the breakwater
again.
He was next soen making fortheoppo
site shore, a short dihtniioe above the
falls, headed diagonally across, but ai
parcutly not pulling hard. The onrreut
was rapidly sucking him down, and he
was seen to push the oars down, as if
trying to reach bottom. Apparently
realizing that it was useless, he drew the
oars and went to the stern of the boat
and got down in the bottom, clutching
the sides with both hands.
The boat was now drifting stern down,
and had reached the brink of the falls,
near the middle of the river. It was
now seen for a moment iu this position
and then took the lust plunge to tho
seething mass below.
This is all that oau be told of Stew
art's death. The boat was recovered a
short time afterward, bottom sido up,
but slightly damaged, with one oar still
in it.
Stewart was a stranger hero, and no
one seems to know who he was or whore
be came from. Froiu the company's
time book bis name is loomed as Robert
Stewart. He had on a dark slouch hat
and dark shirt.
The rtoovery of the body is very doubt
ful, and it is useless to think of looking
in such a plaoe. He might at any time
before striking the middle of the river
the last time, easily have saved himself
and it oau only be concluded that he
either did nut realize the danger, or else
realized it and entirely lost his self-control
and presence of mind and so rushed
on to his terrible fate.
A PORTLAND TU.iGKDY.
The Kruily Pistol.
Portland, Or., May 10. Emil Weber,
s wttll-kuowu gambler, was euot and
killed by "Sandy" Olds, another gamb
ler, in front of the Masonio temple on
Third and Alder streets, about lilO this
afternoon. The two men met on the
oorner, ant, after exchanging a few
words, Olds drew it, revolver and fired at
Weber, the ball striking him behind the
right ear, coming out of the left side of
the neck. Weber fell into the gutter,
whilo Olds dispatched three more balls
into his victim, one striking him in the
middle of the spine, another in the back
a few iuohes lower than the first, and
the third in the baok of the head. Weber
never spoke after the first shot. Olds
walked iu the direction of the police
station, but was met by an officer, who
took him in charge.
