LOCAL AXD GENERAL NEWS ((wind Acwant or Doiegs in Cily Country. Oregon Beauty Many people in Oregon, and espe cially in Linn and Marion counties, will remember the beautiful chestnut bay mare with'the long mane and tail owned by Mr. O. P. Adams, of Millers, in Llnu county, and which he sold to M. D. Eeed, of San Fran cisco. To such the following dis patch from New York to the Exam iner will be of regretful iuterest: "The Oregon Beauty, or long maned horse, which was valued at $25,000. was suffocated by fire at Brighton Beach last night. The horso had been at the beach two days. It had been on exhibition throughout the west for some time previous and was brought from California by M. D. Reed last week. The horso was a beautiful chestnut, with n white mane and tail the former bei ng nine feet long and the tail sweeping the ground. The foretop was four feet long. The "Beauty" was eight years old, weighed 1250 pounds and stood sixteen hands high. The fire was caused by lightning, and started in the lofts of the stable, but was soon extinguished. The Oregon Beauty was then found dead, al though in the next stall n worthless "plug" stood uninjured. Cooke & Ciiurctlll Rebuilding. These enterprising gentlemen who had succeeded in building up a healthy enterprise in the manufac ture of doors and sash in this city, and who suffered so severely by the lire in the agricultural works' build ing, are showing their grit, and have begun the erection of a building on High street, south of and adjoining the old agricultural ruin, where they will again prosecute the business. They have ordered new machinery, and mean business. They will push work on their new building as fast as possible. o Still at Urge. Elias Eberhard, the Chamnoeg merchant who failed so dishonor ably recently, committing forgery and other crimes, has not been heard of since ho left. The forged notes will bo sued upon, against the parties whoso, names appear thereon. No criminal charge lias been preferred against Eberhard, but he will likely be caught and given a chance to pose as defendant against the state, if found. Probably on a Delayed Trnin. Mr. Thomas Holmau, the propri etor of the electric lights expected to have the lights running by the first of the mouth, but it is likely ho will bo delayed. The dynamos, were sent to San Francisco to bo rewound, and it is now thought were sent on one of the trains that suffered delay by running into the washouts in California. Tte Xevr Depot Assuming Shape. The framo work of the new depot building is all up, and the workmen are putting on the weather boarding and shingles. The building shows up considerably larger than the old one, and from tin present appcar auce of the framework, it will bo a very attractive structure. To the Penitentiary. Shoriil J. M. Bently, of Umatilla county, brought 'Alf Crocker to the penitontiary yesterday. Crocker is undor a sentence of four years for horsestealing. This will probably bo Sheriff Bontly's last trip, as a re publican succeeds him in his olllce in Umatilla. The II. D. Boon Estate. Duonna Boon, guardian of tho minor heirs of H. D. Boon, deceased has filed a petition for tho sale of porsonal property belonging to thoir estate. L. S. Scoot, John G. "Wright and "W. S. Barker nro also appointed appraisers of the ostate of said minor heirs. A Powerful Speaker. Aromgomonts have beon mado for Clark Bradeii, of national reputa tion m a debater, eta, to preach in tho Christian church, ShIuiii, next Sunday night. Baptlm at Squirrel 11111.

The aat Orefoulau (jays tho proepeate for a good crop in that emo tion are very fi.von.hle. and the late numerous and generous rains have pwceptibly sliertetied the visage of overy fltrmer la Umatilla oeunty. FROM A FRUIT GROWER. Letter From Texas. Straws Which Designate tho Direction of tho Wind. A great many letters are coming now, principally to real ostato deal ers whoso names appear in the Board of Trade's pamphlet as mem bers of that organization, from par ties who havo recoived that docu ment, asking for further informa tion concerning onr'state. The at tention of many residents of tho east Is being turned towards Oregon, and this is being demonstrated every day by the numerous letters of in quiry coming in. A prominent real estate dealer this morning hands us tho follow ing letter; and we publish it to show that "even a newspaper" sent East is of some good. The letter is dated Peoria, Texas, Juno 11, and says: "I am in receipt of a copy of the Capital Jouhxal. sent mo bv some one from Salem. Wanting to learn more ot mat great state, you may send me the paper at Peoria. Texas, for six months. I .ike what is said ofOreiron. In recard to fruit growing. Having worked for the lilacKwaxy iN ursery at Duck Creek. Texas, have had some experience in tue propogation ana growing ot fruit in this country, and think it would be a very successful business there especially prune ralsini;. However, I can't fully decide until 1 see tne country, whicu 1 contem plate doing next winter. w uy is it tnat peacues anil corn do not grow in Oregon? Is it be cause the summers are too short, or the soil not adapted to their growth? T know that apples fail iu this coun try where peaches iu mauy places do well. This is attributed to the alkali, which does not seem to eil'ect the peach, but destroys tho npplo af ter a few years bearing. Now It seems to me where the soil is so clear that the apple will grow, and this property not being essential to the growth of the peach, that It would grow and bear profusely. Yours trulv, 1. A. luaamr." Mr. Baggett has evidently been misinformed regarding the peach. The fact that no finer peaches grow anywhere than can be raised in Southern Oregon, is known to all who have investigated the matter, and the writer has seen peaches grown in this county that would compare more than favorably with any he ever saw, either California or Eastern. In fact, it is becoming the opinion of fruit growers, that a little more attention than has usual ly been given them will prove the fact that peaches will do as well here as any where. The difficulty exper ienced in growing corn is accounted for by our cool nights. If we can't raise corn, wo can at least sleep com fortably all night. PKIISOXALS. Mrs. Chas. A. Johns went to Ar lington this week. Capt. F. J. Babcock went to Port land this morning. Hon. Samuel L. Layman, of AVoodburn, is iu tho city. Mrs. T. H. Caun, now of Seattle, tho Post-Intelligencer says, is visit ing a sister in Oregon. Rev. M. L. Rugg formerly pastor of the First Baptist church of this city, is now resident pastor of Victoria, B. C. Rev. J. "W. Webb came in from campmeetiug yesterday evening, and went to East Portland this morning to uttond the grand lodge, I. O. G. T. Geo. P. Hughes and Geo. B. Gray went to Portland this morning to attend tho organization of the Pa cific Insurance company, of which they are stockholders. W. S. Moore, whom tho republi cans elected county clerk of Klam ath county in tho recent election, is in tho city, having came down from Linkvillo this morning. Mr. Miles, with his family, from Iowa, came in yesterday, and to-day accompanied Dr. n. J. Miuthorn, of tho Oregon Land Company, whose brother-in-law Mr. Mllw Is to Newberg, Yamhill county. Leg Boom Urel.(. About 8 o'olock Iftbt evening, thb log boom of tho Capital Lumbering Co., broke loose from its moorings in the slough, and started for Ore gon City or Skamkawa. A dook hand on the Occident, lying at tho wharf here, noticed the drifting boom first, and notified tho mill company. An attempt was made to wive the loge with good suoeett and lem than a hundred escaped entirely, and probably not to exceed 100,000 fret. The Knight of Labor will give a eooiable at their hall on Commercial street on Friday evening. Fruit tee eream, at Stroag & Go.', TWO ALLEfiED JOURNALISTS! A Pair of Swindlers get $150 Prom the Advertising Committee Latld & Tilton Lose it. Recently perhaps six weeks ago, this city was "honored" with a visit from two beautiful, sleekly dressed, silk plug-hatted young bipeds of the genus man, who represented, each for himself, that they were the representatives of the Dally Morn ing Journal of New York, and the Cincinnati Enquirer respectively. They presented a proposition to the committee of the board of trado that has tho management of the adver tising fund, to tho effect that for $75 each, they would cause to be pre pared and published iu "their" respective papers au elaborate "boom write up" of our delightful city and its environs. After due consideration the Idea was endorsed by the committee, and tho articles prepared. After submit ting their "write tip-" to the com mittee, those gentry submitted a de mand for pay in advance. This lather staggered the committee, but they finally drew the cheeks in favor not If thce pretty young men, who gave their names as Ertel oudBattersby, but In favor of tho papers themselves. Then these young men kicked saying it wi.s casting a vile suspicion on their character ns journalist-!, nhem! to draw these cheeks in favor of any one but they personally. Their kicking availed nothing, and they took the checks. However (hey proved too smart after all. They went to Portland, and there cashed tho checks at Ladd & Tilton's bank, endorsing them as agents for these-papers. These two papers have not published the articles as yet, nor will they; for they have so for failed to receive pay for doing so. These two young men have worked their game in many towns, but aro at last found out. In Southern Cali fornia, a local paper shows them up iu their true light. Ertel & Bat tersby are forgers, In addition to being swindlers, but tho Salem committee will lose nothing on them. Ladd & Tlltou get "stuck" for the 150, and not the Salem committee. STATE PKISTEK IUKEII OS SEAL ROCK. State Printer Baker, it will bo remembered, was one of tho lucky winners in the Seal Rock bale last year, getting a cottage with his lot. Ho of course, thought it was a lucky stroke, but did not think of keeping it, until after a recent visit to that place. He has changed his miud, and written tho following letter to Mr. Norton about this propeity. Seal Rock will catch lots of Salem "summercrs" this season. Ofpici: Statu Pkintru, Salem, June 12, 188s. J E. O. Norton, Esq., Dear Sir. Just returned from Seal Rock. Had a splendid visit. Thoro are five cottages ready for occupancy and the material for tho remaining seven or eightis being transported there. Mrs. Baker and 1 aro thoroughly satis fied with ours and tho entire promises. Wo aro elated with tho surroundings. I predict that as soon as tho Oregon Pacific completes its lino to Baker City, Seal Rock will bo tho futuro seaside resort of Ore gon. "Wo are thoroughly satisfied with our purchase and feel confident that every pronilbomade by you and Mr. J. "W. Brasfleld will be carried out to tho letter. "Wo havo concluded to not sell our property so you will please take It oil' tho market. Yours and etc., Fiiamc C. Baki:u. Killed on the Dead Walls. A regular contributor to tho Capi tal City Courior, Lincoln, Nebraska, presents this: On tho doad walls of tho city I notice advertising matter calling the attention of tho multi tude to tho advantages and induce ment oflured by tho groat northwest, Portland, Oregon, and tho country thereabout.

'PNEUMONIA. Tf hy not Call this Terrible Scours T iu Rightful Name? (.Vc lrt TWiyram.) Many a strong, woll-built man leaves home to-day; before night he will have a chill and in a few hours will be dead 1 This is the way tho dreaded pneu monia takes people cff. The list of notable men who are its victims is appalling. It sweeps over tho land llko a scourgo and destroys poor and rich alike. Everyone dreads it. Its coming is sudden, its termination usually speedy. What causes it? Pneumonia, wo aro told, is invited by a certain condition of tho svstoni, indicated if one has occasional chills and fovers, a tendency to cold in tho throat and lungs, rheumatic and neuralgic pains, extreme tired feol ings. short breath and pleuritic stitches in tho side, loss of appetite, backache, nervous unrest, scalding sensations, or scant and 'discolored fluids, heart flutterings, sourstomacli, distressed look, puffy eye sacs, hot and dry skin, loss of strength and virility. These indications may not appear together, thoy may come, disappear and reappear lor years, the porson not realizing tnat uioy aro nature's warn ing of a coming calamity. In other wonts, if pneumonia does 'not claim "as'fa "vJclli'llie person! having such symptoms some less sudden but quito as fatal malady cer tainly will. - -A celebrated New York physician told tho Tribune that pneumonia was a secondary disorder, tho exposure and cold being simply tho agent which develops tho disease, already dormant In tho system, because tho kidnoys havo been but partially doing thoir duty. In short, pnoumonia is but an early indication of a bright's diseased condition. Xliis impaired action may exist for years without tho patient suspecting It because no pain will bo folt in tho kidneys or thoir vicinity and often it can bo do tccted only by chemical and micros copical observations. Nearly 150 of tho 740 deatliH in Now York City tho first weok in April (and in six' weeks 781 deaths) wero caused by pnoumonia! The diseaso is vory obstinate, and If tho accompanying kidnoy disorder Is very far advancod, rocovory is im possible, for tho kidnoys givo out en tirely, and tho pationt is literally suffocated by water. The only safeguard against pneu monia is to maintain a vigorous con dition of tho system, and thus prevent its attacks, by using whatovor will radically and effectually restore full vitality to tho kidnoys, for if they are not sound, pneumonia cannot be pre vented. For this purposo there is nothing oqual to Warner's safo euro, a remedy known to millions, used probably by hundreds of thousands and commendod as a standard spo cific wherever known and usod. It does not pretond to euro an attack of pnoumonia, but it does remove the cause of and prevent that disease if taken in time. Noroasonablomancan doubt this if ho regards tho porsonal ex perience of thousands of honorablo men. When a physician sayshis pationt has either bright's diseaso or pnou monia ho confesses his innbillty to cure, and in a measuro ho considers his responsibility onded. In many in stances, indeod, persons nro reported ns dying of pnoumonia, heart diseaso, npoploxyand convulsions, when tho real cause of death and so known by tho physician is this kidnoy con sumption. Thousands of people havo it without knowing it and perish of it because thoir physicians will not tell thorn tho facts!
