C hicago , March 31.—Today George Doyle, of this city, and Robert (iedney, of Philadelphia, went to the top of the Great Northern hotel, the new 16-story building, to look over the city. They stood for some time looking about and then Gedney gave a strange laugh and grabbing Doyle, began to pull him about, as if the cool breeze had exhilarated him to playfulness. Then he said : “Hold my hands, I want to look down.” Doyle did so and after Gedney had re covered himself, he approached Doyle with a baneful light in his eyes and a strange earnestness in his voice, con trasting unpleasantly with his recent playfulness, and said: “You’ve got to jump off the building or I will throw you off.” With fearful reality it came to Doyle’s memory that (iedney, several years ago, had been treated for a mild form of in sanity. His first impulse, as a sickening realization of the situation came over him, was to call for help. But he saw it was useless, and tried to temporize, treating the matter as a joke. “Will you jump?” fiercely screamed (iedney. Without wailing for reply, he seized Doyle and began dragging him toward the edge. Doyle touglit with the despe ration of despair, and the men staggered to and fro over the roof. Robert Haslam, who has an office in the Monadnock building, across the street, saw the men struggling ami watched them, thinking it was only sport. He soon saw, however, it was a struggle of life and death, ami hurrying down he rushed to the hotel and in formed Eden, the proprietor. Accom panied by a porter the three men started for the roof. On the stairs leading to the turret they encountered Doyle bare headed, with his cloth torn from his back. He was very weak, excited and in a fainting condition. When Doyle was able to talk he gave a graphic account of the fearful light for life, and it was learned he had only escaped by strategy. After the struggle had pro gressed sometime and feeling his strength almost gone, he suddenly called to Ged ney to stop and he would jump off. He stipulated, however, that he must have a few moments for prayer. He slepja-d back ami knelt down, while (iedney re verently lwnt his head. Doyle watched him through half-closed eyes and suddenly darted for the scuttle and went through it like a flash into the arms of his would-be rescuers. Taking Tbrlr Medicine.

There will be no great difficulty exper ienced in arresting the Chinese, and if an opinion to the contrary prevails, it is most absurd. ‘‘There is no hope for relief from this present congress and the Chinese are undoubtedly aware of this fact.

OREGON'S FOSSIL WONDERS. River's Twain Rich in Relics of I*re Historic Ages. It is a fact not generally known that in some portions of Eastern Oregon, hut particularly in the John Day river region and on Crooked river, are found some of the most interesting fossil fields in the known world. They are most wonderful, writes L. S. D. in The Dallas Chronicle, from the fact that they are different in containing remains of ancient life found in no other part of the world. Imagine yourself in a very ancient lake bed; how old, none but the (ireat Maker can tell, (io down into one of those gigantic crevices, of which the John Day river itself is one, and its tributaries are others. These great chasms have been cut down by countless ages of constant erosion through the overlying basaltic rtw-k and into these most remarkable of ancient mudbeds, now also hardened into rock, ami con taining these strange relics of life in the mysterious past, when man was un known. These beds are found in many places to be*several hundred feet in thickness, and arc worn ami gullied by the constant washings and melting snows into the most fantastic groups of beautiful color ing, from red, gr«-«-n, yellow ami blue to pure white, ami from lop to bottom con taining the remains of hundred of mam mals, fishes and plants. The mammals are here represented in various forms, from the tiny mouse to tlx-most gigantic beasts of ancient America. A most interesting feature of this great group of tertiary beds is the vast number of species found here. Also many new genii have been found here; that is, many remains have been found of ani- | main that were entirely new to science. This group is known the world over as the John Day group, Is-cause it is ident ified with no other group in tin world, as far as known. In these great tombs of lost races lie the remains of vast herds of strange beasts, preserved here from the darkness to excite? the wonder of man. Here is found the tiny hors«-, no larger than a merino sheep, |M*rfectly develo|M*l ami of authentic age, as his teeth can prove. Also great herds of camels, elephants and rhinoceros, of queer ty|M-s, roamed this region. There were also gigantic Is-asts of prey. Lions are found here that would put th«- largest African king of Is-asts to shame. Also tigers of immense size. Not less than 12 distinct sp«-ci«-s, great ami small, of the tapir-like animal named by scientists the ore« s Ion, he buried here. Many very fine specimens of this animal have lieen found. The feline race is well re- pr«-M4-nt«*<l by many fine specimens of various species. Dogs of many kinds one«* howled in this awful wilderness, no less than 10 «listinct species of this animal Is-ing found in a single summer. The great entelodon, a monster hog. was here in great numliers. Imagine h» yours«*if a giant liog, as large as an eh-phant, with tusks 12 inches long pro- t m'ing from his poiulerous jaws, « rash ing through these aiK-ii-nt jungles. He must, in«l»*«-d, have I ms - h monarrh of Ih«> wikis.

The wholesale slaughter of « attle, however, as y«*t has been confined to a few ram-hmen who failed to harvest a sufficient quantity of hay h> fee«l their st«s k during the long winter. This lias been the severest winter in the Colville valley in IK years, and the loss of live sbs k will I n * alsmt the same as it was 15 y«*ars ago. I hiring that winter it was estimated that 60 per cent of the «attle of (hat vicinity «lied of uobl and starvation, ami this year's loss will rewh that estimate.

Secretary Carlyle says that under the act of May 5th, 1892, which will be strictly enforced, no Chinese can lie allowed the privilege of naturalization. The Petaluma Courier states that an extremely tough clay has been found of late in dredging operations at McNear’s basin. Its consistency is like that of india rubber. This must I m * the original substance of the lxM»k agent’s cheek.(?) The state board has placed the state tax levy entire at 6 67.70 mills, almost 7 mills, an immense tax. In order to make the public feel good the secretary of state declares that next year it will probably only I m ? about 31« mills, says an exchange.

In reply to a croaker in the lumber trade, the Pacific Lumberman states that more lumber charters were made than for any similar month in any year. That the demand in California is good, ami, the eastern markets are be ing o|M*ned up to the manufactur« rt by a rvihiction in freight rates.
