These to Be Inspected and Improved by Admiral Walker. PORT TOWNSEND, Wasn., June 9.— The steamer Columbine, the finest vessel of the United Stutes lizhthouse supply ser- vice in command of Captain Richardson, cailed this morning for Alaskan ports on her regular semi-annual tour among the lights and beacons of that immense district. Aboard the vessel are Rear-Admiral John G. Walker, U. 8. N., to whom has been delegated the task of inspecting the dis- trict with a view to improving the signal system now in vogue there. Admiral Walker since his advent on the Sound has beed in close communication with some of the leading mariners sailing to the north- west, and will make the Alaskan system of lights and buoys second to none in the ser- vice. The changes will include not only the complete restocking of the district with buoys, but the establishment of many new ones. — AT CAMP FAIRBANKS. Schedule of the Routine Work for the Week.

VALLEJO, CaL., June 9.—The Olympics of San Francisco were defeated by the Geary Bros. nine in a ball game this after- noon. The game was exciting all through. The score at the close stood: Olympics 3, Geary Bros. 4. The pitchers were Cooney and Murphy. Few errors were made. Fully 1500 people witnessed the game, which was the best ever played on this diamond. Until the last inning the score stood 4 to 1 in favor of the local nine. The Olympics scored 2 in the last half of the ninth, but Cooney’s superb pitching and phenomenal work on the part of Piquini, the catcher, saved the game. Hundreds of the visiting militiamen watched the game with interest. The field work of the players was excel- lent, and the base-running was of a circus character and served to keep the interest alive. Since the organization of the local nine it was the best game ever played here, and it was a well-earned victory. During the early part of the game O’Kane, the catcher of the Olympics, was injured, but not seriously, and was com- velled to take to the field. Cordes, who was substituted, did well. Throughout the game clever plays were made. At a critical moment, in the last hali inning, when two men were on bases, Cooney threw a third man at the bat out, and the applause which followed was deafening. A Spree Ends in Suicide. WALLA WALLA, Wasg., June 9.—Dan Cameron, a son of Alex Cameron, ex-mem- ber of the Legislature from this county, and brother of Deputy Warden Cameron, committed suicideearly this mcrning by taking strychnine. He had been drinking heavily of late. About 1 o’clock this morning he went into a saloon, and, after writing a letier to his mother saying he -was going to take his life, swallowed a large amount of strych- nine, death resulting almost instantly. PR MARE WORK AT ISLAND. It Xs Now Employing a Force of About 900 Men. VALLEJO, CaL., June 9.—The work of putting on iron plates has commenced on board of the new tug, now under course of construction at the navy yard. As the material is about all at hand, no delays are expected in her completion. Her model is pronounced by experts as well as land lubbers to be an excellent one. When com- pleted, she will without doubt render a good account of herself, not only in work- manship, but as to speed. A large force of men are now employed on the flagship Hartford, some sixty ad- ditional men being called for during the past week. Her sides are pretty well torn away, but the work is kept in hand in such a manner that, should the drydock be required in haste, she can soon be taken out. There is no likelihood that a center caisson will ever be fitted in the present immense and costly structure, but if any improvement is made, it will be to build a new dock entirely. Very little is being done toward repair- ing the Boston, as there is no immediate call for her in any section of the Pacific. The court-martial of Lieutenant Bu- chanan will commence Monday morning. The case of Lieutenant Dorn was com- pleted Thursday, and the findings wili be sent to the Secretary of the Navy. While their character is not known and will not be until sent out from the Secretary’s office, it is the general impression thatno blame has been found to rest on any of the officers. The force at Mare Island now numbers 900 men, larger than has been employed since the last election, and is likely to be maintained at this standing, as there ap- pears to be abundant work in sight for the next year. e Excursion of Conductors. PORTLAND, Or., June 9.—The local Order of Railway Conductors gave an ex- cursion to Salem for the benefit of the order. The excusion was made up of four trains, aggregating forty-six coaches, under the mar ment of Conductor Samuel Stew- art. At the park in Salem a crowd of ten thousand people gathered to witness the games, balloon ascension and other sports. 2 - Grain Burned at Newman. NEWMAN, Car., June 9.—About 300 acres of grain were consumed by fire to- day. Allthe grain was insured in local companies, S JOSE CRIP REPORTS All Kinds of Dried Fruits Are Moving Off Slowly in the East. The Situation Will Be Improved With a More General Busi- ness Revival. SAN JOSE, Car., June 9.— “‘There is nothing to note that will change the re- ports of the past few weeks regarding the prune crop on this coast,” said Colonel Philo Hersey, manager of the County Fruit Exchange. “The market in dried fruits of most kinds is inactive. There is no demand for peaches and pears, and apricots in the East are moving off slowly at fair prices. Prunes are being sold in the East in limited quantities at low prices, and, of course, only low prices are offered. The County Exchange will not offer any pruneson hand at the prices now being offered. In some cases 3 cents have been offered for average grades, and from that to 33 cents. The greatest hope of the fruit-growers at present isan im- provement in industrial circles in the East. Should there be a general revival of busi- ness throughout the country there will be no trouble to dispose of the entire crop of dried fruit at fairly remunerative prices for the investment and Jabor.” IN GALA ATTIRE. The Portuguese of Santa Clara Hold a Grand Celebration. SAN JOSE, CaL., June 9.—Santa Clara presented a gala day appearance to-day, the occasion being the annual celebration of the Portuguese Benevolent Society of the Espiritu Santo. Yesterday afternoon visitors began to arrive from Haywards, Milpitas and other places, and about 2000 Portuguese were in town. In the Habich building an image of the Holy Ghost had been erected and was beautifully deco- rated. There was a display of fireworks on the college eampus last evening, after which dancing commenced in the hall and con- tinued through the night. At 10 o’clock this morning a parade was held in which about 1200 Portuguese par- ticipated. The procession ended at St. Claire’s Church, where a high mass was sung. After church services the day was spent in sports and dancing. DISAPPOINTED SPECTATORS. A Bicycle-Rider Forced to Quit by an Attack of Cramps. SAN JOSE, CaL., June 9.—The several hundred spectators who gathered to wit- ness the ten-mile race between Oscar Osen, who was recently declared a professional bicyelist by the L. A. W. racing board, and two trotting horses, at Agricultural Park this afternoon, were disappointed, as Osen was taken with cramps at the end of the the third mile and quit. The horses fin- ished the ten miles in 31 minutes. A Bicycle Record Reduced. SAN JOSE, CAL., June 9.—The fourth of a series of five-mile hardicap races of the High 8chool Wheelmen was held over the course in East San Jose yesteraay. The races are for a gold medal, which has to be won three times before it becomes per- sonal property. The race was won by Roy Black in 15 min. 40 sec., N. Kooser second, W. Black third. N. Kooser rode the race in 15 min. 20 sec., reducing the former High School record 34 seconds. A Pastor Honored. SAN JOSE, CaL., June 9.—Rev. Victor G. A. Tressler, pastor of the Grace English Lutheran Church of this city, has been tendered the presidency of Carthage Col- lege, a Lutheran .institution, located at Cagthage, IlL SANTA CRUZ INVADED. Visitors Constantly Ar- riving From All Directions. HOTELS FAST FILLING. Carnival Decorating Going on With Unabated Vigor on All Sides. FAKIRS IN THEIR GLORY. Numerous Entries Already Made for the Grand Review Car- nival Races. SANTA CRUZ, CaL., June 9.—One would hardly know it is Sunday in Santa Cruz to-day, as everybody is busy and there is so much life in the streets. Every incoming train has its full load of passen- gers, and it seems that every resident has his house full of friends or relations. The hotels are fast filling up, and within the next couple of days there will be more strangers here than ever were in the city before. Some are arriving on bicycles, some by steamer and some with their camp wagons, who will camp out during the carnival. The decorators have not known it was Sunday, but have been kept busy the en- tire day decorating the places of business. The Odd Fellows' building is in the hands of the decorators. and when com- plete will be one of the finest decorated fronts in the city. Underneath the town clock of the building are the three links of the order, in red, white and blue, with the letters “F. L. T.” on it. The front and windows are decorated with graceful folds of the yellow and white bunting, while the large piazza in front is covered with the same material. Sunshine Villa, the home of J. P. Smith, is by far the finest decorated private resi- dence; long strings with yellow and white streamers floating from them are suspend- ed from the towers of the villa to the streets below, while from the flagstaffs on the house the carnival colors are floating. Evergreen festoons also extend the entire distance around the house. The Mystic Shriners have enjoyed the X v and their familes started about 10.0’clock from their headquarters at the Sea Beach Hotel for the big trees. They were in five and six seated coaches with six horses and greatly enjoyed the ride up the San Lorenzo Canyon, which is one of the grandest in the State. At noon there was a bountiful bulishead dinner. One of the largest crowds of the season was on the beacn this afternoon, and all the carnival fakirs were there, reminding one of the Midway at the Midwinter Fair. The man making the wire breastpin and bracelet while you wait was there, the phonograph man, the popcorn man, lem- onade stand, the Cairo-street jeweler and all the individuals of thatilk. They were not only on the beach, but had their stands on every vacant lot along the avenue. As usual, the center of attraction at the beach was the dam at the mouth of the San Lorenzo, and there*was a constant line of people from the bathhouse to the river, who wished to take a look at the dam. The day was a pleasant one and boating was enjoyed to a great extent on the river. Many are already entering gondolas and decorated boats to compete for the prizes in the grand river carnival. Twenty boats have been hauled from Capitola to this city to be used on the river during the car- nival week. All the boats on the bay will also be brought into use. At the carnival grounds the carpenters and decorators were as busy at work as on any weekday. An addition was made to the landing. The interior of the carnival pavilion is where the greatest transiorma- tion is taking place. To-day the entire ceiling was covered with alternate yellow and white bunting, making a solid ground of yellow and white. Beneath this is the fish-netting, which will be decorated with roses by the thousand. Along the strect, in front of the grounds, strings of flags and streamers of every nation have been stretched, and the carnival grounds are assuming a gala attire. There are thousands of people this even- ing on the river front to witness the electri- cal illumination in honor of the Mystic Shriners. The illumination lasted nearly an hour, scores of boats, filled with merry parties, passing under the thousands of lights. The electric fountain played, throwing water over 100 feet in the air, The illumination was a success. Among the audience were people from all parts of the State. Queen Anita, the Queen Dowager, Mrs. J. P. Smith, and Director-General Smith were among the interested spectators. Traly, Venice in all of its historic glory will find a rivalin Santa Cruz the night the Queen and maids of honor in their magnificent gondolas sail up the river, fol- lowed by a fleet of illuminated craft filled with handsomely costumed subjects rend- ing the air with loud acclaim. Among the handsomest decorations will be those of the grounds of Mrs. Hern Mec- Lear Martin, who already has Japanese decorators at work transforming the grounds into a Japanese temple and garden. General Dimond and General Warfield with their staffs will arrive on Thursday. Although the floral parade will be a feature of the carnival, the water proces- sion is the principal attraction. To make this a success much money is being spent. There is talk now of making the carnival an annual occurrence. Azoff’s Letter to His Attorney. SANTA CRUZ, Car., June 9.—To-day W. A. McGuire, attorney for Anthony Azoff, received a letter written by the mur- derer at 8an Quentin expressing his thanks to his attorney and announcing his inno- cence of the murder of Len Harris. el vt A Lady’s Useful Invention. SANTA BARBARA, June 9.—MissE. R. Edmonson,a Santa Barbara teacher, has ap- pliea for a patent on a little device for use in the schoouroom, It is & alate-pencil and lead-pencil sharpener combined. Thislittle implement has been practically tested, and the belief prevails that the lady has an in- vention that will be very profitable, as the only successful slate-pencil sharpener hitherto offered is a complicated and ex- pensive piece of mechanism, while tnis can be manufactured and sold for 10or 15 cents. THE COAST RAILROAD. It Is Now Reported It Will Reach Santa ¥nez River in September. SANTA BARBARA, Car., June 7.—A Lompoc paper is authority for the state- ment that the time now set for the comple- tion of the coast railway to the Santa Ynez River is the first of September and that Lompoc will be the terminus until Septernber, 1896, when Gaviota will be passed. There is a serious misunder- standing somewhere, for Santa Barbara expects to have the road completed and through trains running by another spring and bas the word of high officials in rail- road circles as the basis for these anticipa- tions. It now looks as if the fertile Lompoc Valley, whose development has been so long delayed through the lack of railroad facilities, may be connected with the out- side world by two lines of steel track at no distant day. The narrow-gauge road, whose business is seriously threatened by the building of the coast line, has been quietly investigating the feasibility of building a branch from Harris Station to Lompoc, by way of Catherwood canyon, over the old Purissima rancho and the sur- vey made it appear so feasible that Super- intendent Johnson recommends its imme- diate construction CAMP BUDD AT VALLELD, Cordial Reception Given to the Members of the Second Regiment. Notable Visitors Expected to Arrive at the Encampment During the Week. VALLEJO, Cav., June 9.—Camp Budd is now established, and to-day thousands of visitors wended their way to the “white city” on the outskirts of the town. Colonel Guthrie is highly pleased at the location and the reception tendered the Second Regiment by the citizens. After a good night’s rest the militia boys who were allowed leave visited the city proper, and were delighted with its ap- pearance. Rough work commences to-morrow, and during encampment weck considerable at- tention will be paid to field work. Governor Budd will arrive without fail, health permitting, during the week. Col- onel Guthrie issued his first orders this morning, calling for Companies B, C, D and H to assemble for target practice dur- ing the week. Major-General Dimond will arrive here to-morrow night or Tuesday. From one end of the city to the other decorations are a prominent feature. The residents have spared no pains and the business men haye shown a decided ten- dency to welcome the honored guests and the camp followers. Majors Wallace and Shubern (retired) are visitors to Camp Budd. At 5 P. M. daily the dress parade will fol- low the regular daily tasks and there will be a guard mount at 5:45. The officers of the First Regiment were visitors to Vallejo this morning, and more than likely the encampment of that regi- ment in Vallejo will follow the latter part of July or in August. FUHEST_H_HES_EHE RAGING Portions of Northern Pennsyl- vania Again Swept by Flames. Valuable Timber Is Destroyed and Manufacturing Plants Are Threatened. BRADFORD, Pa., June 9.—The forest fires of last week began burning fiercely again yesterday, and are still burning. It was thought the recent rains had started vegetation sufficiently to prevent further trouble. Fires are reported in the vicinity of the Kane oil field, and a force of men is fighting the flames. No damage has been done there so far. Ormsby is again the scene of destructive fires, and a large amount of valuable tim- ber has been destroyed. Fires are re- ported in the vicinity of Mount Alton and Mount Jewett. At the latter place some timber land was burned over, and the Bradford Chemical Works are in great danger of being destroyed unless the wind shifts. 3 A destructive fire was burning at Sugar Run, a small lumber town eighteen miles west of here, to-day, and destroyed a trestle on the Allegheny and Konza Rail- road. A large amount of timber has been burned. ———— CONGRATULATIONS FOR HARMON. The New Attorney-General Receives a Host of Callers. CINCINNATI, Omro, June 9.—Judge Judson Harmon, the new Attorney-Gen- eral, spent Sunday with his family here to- day. He received many callers, and tele- grams of congratulation are still pouring in. He could not state to-night when he would go to Washington. Unless he is called to the National Capital officially at once he will remain a few days to close up some matters with his law partners. e % Assassinated by a Rival. VERSAILLES, Inp., June 9.—Grant Johnson shot and killed John Huntington this afternoon. Both were courting the same girl, the daughter of Thomas Davis, and met at her house, when a quarrel en- sued. Huntington pulled a gun on John- son, who drew his revolver and shot Huntington dead. Grant is now in jail. He claims self-defense. el L Break on the Erie Canal. AMSTERDAM, N. Y., June 9.—The break which occurred on the Erie Canal, near Pattersonville, last Wednesday is se- riously interfering with traffic and will re- sult in severe losses to boatmen. A force of 150 men and fifty teams is working night and day, and it is thought that the break can be repaired and traffic resumed y next Thursday. ANACAPA'S RICH ORES A Most Promising Lead Struck by Amateur Prospectors. OF UNUSUAL DIMENSIONS. Solid Masses of Silver Sulphur- ets Found in Considerable Quantity. PORT OF ENTRY QUESTION. It Still Disturbs the Minds of the Merchants of Santa Barbara. SANTA BARBARA, Car., June 9.—The sloop Restless yesterday returned from Anacapa Island bringing back several Santa Barbara gentlemen who for a week or so past have been prospecting for precious metals upon that rocky point of the channel archipelago. They were led to examine into the mineral resources of Anacapa by the tradition that an old Spanish mine of fabulous richness existed there, the secret of whose location was lost. A member of this party visiting the island discovered a great ledge of white quartz and broke off some specimens which, being assayed after hisreturn tothe mainland, showed a moderate amount of gold. On his next trip several of his friends joined him for the fun of the ex- cursion rather than with any faith in the importance of the find. Walking along the beach their attention was drawn to an unusual deposit of black sand at a point near one of the picturesque arches for which the island is famous. He scooped up a cupful, which proved to be sprinkled with silver sulphurets and which afterward assayed $10 to the ton. There is no water fit for drinking on the island and after chipping some fragments from the ledge the party came back to the mainland. These fragments assayed $8 silver and $2 gold to the ton, and as this was a promising assay for outcroppings they entered the ledge and a day or two later returned there for a thorough investi- gation of the locality. They found a well- defined quartz fissure 100 feet wide, ex- tending from tte water’s edge up the face of a steep cliff. This deposit is crossed and recrossed by mineral veins. A blast was put in and a quantity of the speci- mens obtained were apparently much richer in character than those forming the base of the original assays, showing solid masses of silver sulphurets in considerable quantity. The rock in which these sulphurets are found is of a peculiar nature, and will be made the subject of a special investigation. The general impression of old miners who have examined these specimens is that these amateur prospectors have struck a rich lead, and that the enormous ore body makes the discovery one of importance. E. B. Pratt, John Reseigh and Semuel Burtis are the gentlemen prominent in this new mining enterprise on our channel islands, with one or two others, whose names cannot be mentioned at present. STILL INDIGNANT. Much nssatisfaction at the Port of Entry Question at Santa Barbara. SANTA BARBARA, Car., June 9. There has been no abatement in the indig- nation felt by Santa Barbara’s business men since the explanation has been re- ceived that the late ruling of the Secretary of the Treasury means that all foreign ships shall first proceed to a regular port of entry and dake out papers before dis- charging cargo here. Santa Barvara’s im- ports come exclusively from ships sailing south or southeast. This means that tnese vessels shall pass directly by this port, pro- ceed 120 miles out of their course to Los Angeles, lay up at that port until the cus- toms officials complete their inspection of their cargoes and issue the necessary papers, then double on their course, re- turning 120 miles to Santa Barbara. This ruling is prohibitory of all foreign commerce, and were a single vessel to per- severe in landing her cargo here after con- forming to these requirements, which is not probable, the consequent high freight charges to our merchants would be a se- vere hardship, ana would impose a heavy tax upon our people. The feeling is strong here that a petition should be at once drawn up and signed by every loyal Santa Barbara man, asking that this rul- ing should be reversed, while stout efforts should be put forth next fall to have Santa Barbara declared a port of entry that she may be free from such hurtful edicts in the future. SANTA BARBARA’S OPPORTUNITX. A Proposition on Foot to Establish a Ray- mond Hotel There. SANTA BARBARA, Can, June 9.— After a careful consideration of the charms of Santa Barbara and her numerous ad- vantages as a pleasure resort, Walter Ray- mond declares that he prefers to re-estab- lish the Raymond hotel here rather than in any other location in Southern Califor- nia. It is an open secret that he would like to purchase the Arlington with a view to remodeling it or rebuilding on the same site, but the price asked, which approaches $200,000, acts as a bar to negotiations in that quarter, If a price could be named to Mr. Raymond which would be an in- ducement instead of a discouragement, there is but little question but that the sale would be at once consummated, and our town take a great stride for ward. TRAGEDY AT OMAHA. A Woman’s Story Regarding a Killing Not Credited. OMAHA, NesBR., June 9.—W. H. Chap- pell was shot and instantly killed at the home of James Ishin this city to-night. He had sold the family a sewing-machine and had been summoned several times to fix it, and was sent for Saturday. He came this evening instead, and according to the story told by Mrs. Ish attacked her while her husband was in another part of the house. Sheclaims that when she screamed Chappell drew his revolver, but that she grabbed it from his hand and commenced shooting at him. Her husband rushed into the room, res volver in hand, and Mrs. Ish says she grabbed that revolver also and continued the shooting. In all nine shots were fired, four of which struck Chappell. Mrs. Ish was placed in custody, but later develop- ments indicate that itislikely the woman’s husband did the shooting, and that ber story was told to screen him. Chappell came here from Kansas City, where he was formerly a detective in the employ of one of the railroads. He leaves a widow and one child. ey s FEAR A FLOOD. An Immense Reservoir in Colorado in Danger of Giving Way. DENVER, Coro., June 9.—A special to the News from Monument, Colo., says that great alarm is felt by the inhabitants of that place over the condition of the Monument reservoir dam. The rains of the past week have kept the reservoir filled to the brim, and it is ru- mored that the dam is in an unsafe condition. The reservoir cov- ers seventy-two acres, and should it break a rich agricultural valley below would be swept by the rushing waters for many miles, doing great damage to life and property. R e OUSTED FROM THEIR CLAIMS. Homes Lost to Settlers on Government ZLand in South Dakota. OMAHA, NEeBR., June 9.—A special to the Bee from Butte, Nebr., says: From fifty to sixty settlers on Govern- ment land in Gregory County, S. D., have been dispossessed of their claims by the recent survey between the Indian reserva- tion and Gregory County. Many farmers have been living on their claims for more than three years, and some of them have improvements valued at over $4000. B et SOUTH PLATTE RISING. Territory Surrounding a Nebraska Town Inundated, OMAHA, NEpr., June 9.—A special to the Bee from Big Springs, Nebr., says: The South Platte River at this point has risen to nearly the high-water mark. A local ditch broke last night, submerging the territory between the town and the river. The water it was feared would damage the railroad track, and a watch- man was appointed to guard during the night. However, no damage was done, and the water is again under control. e THE GLOBE. MacArthur, the Gotham Divine, Arrives at Salt Lake. SALT LAKE, Utan, June 9.—Rev. R. 8. MacArthur, D. D., of New York City has arrived in Salt Lake on his trip around the world. To-day he preached two sermons to large congregations in the Baptist churches. He leaves to-morrow for San Francisco, whence he sails for Hawaii on the 15th inst. FOUAD T JUDGE GULT Singular Verdict Returned by TRAVELING AROUN Dr. a Jury in an Okla- homa Town. It Acquits the Defendant and As- sesses the Costs Agalnst the Court, KANSAS CITY, Mo., June 9.—A special to the Times from Perry, O. T., says: George Parker, a citizen of Alva, O. T., was arraigned a few days ago before Judge Goodiwin for drunkenness and disorderly conduct. Judge Goodwin impaneled a jury of twelve men to try the case. They returned a verdict of guilty against the court. The verdict read: “We find the defendant, George Parker, not guilty as charged, but we find the Judge of this court guilty of the offense charged against the defendant, and that the cost in this case be assessed against him.” Since the trial Parker has had the Judge arrested for drunkenness in office. The jury was composed of the best men in town. PRINCETON'S OMMENCEMENT. Life of Dr. McCosh the Subject of the Baccalaureate Sermon. PRINCETON, N. J., June 9.—The exer- cises of commencement week were begun this morning in the chapel by the bacca- laureate sermon to the class of '95. The friends and relatives of the graduates crowded the building to its utmost capacity. Several months ago the faculty invited President Patton to preach a sermon in memory of Dr.James McCosh, who died last November. Dr. Patton accepted the invitation by making the subject of the baccalaureate sermon ‘‘The Story of the Life of Princeton’s Great President.” His text was II Cor. xiii:18. P S NO ONE AT THE THROTTLE. A Runaway Engine Crashes Into Another With Fatal Effect. LOGANSPORT, Ixp., June 9.—A pas- senger engine, while standing in the Pan- handle yards without any person on board, ran away to-day. But for the promptness of a switchman, who threw it onto a sid- ing, the engine would have struck a pas- senger train. As it was it collided with a switch engine, killing Fred Schulz, the en- gineer, and badly wounding Pat Gray, a fireman. e T GORHAM POLICE ARE AOTIVE. Parkhurst’s Crusade Causes a Waking Up of the Bluecoats. NEW YORK, N. Y., June 9.—The new administration of the Police Department seems to have caused a revival of the activity on the part of the rank and file in the making of arrests. During the week ending this morning 437 arrests were recorded in the station house and central office blotters. This number is almost unprecedented in the history of the depart ment.

The Indignation Wreaked by Masked Men on the Mis~ mated Couple. COAT OF TAR AND FEATHERS It Is Applled to the Victims Who Are Then Driven Out of Town. WALLA WALLA, Wasg., June 9.—Fifty masked men, heavily armed, took Joseph Fossati and Robie Allen, a colored woman, to the edge of town and applied a coat of tar and feathers to them early this morne ing. Shortly after midnight a body of men wearing masks over their faces went to the house woccupied by the woman. A hack was driven up to the front door, the men broke open the door and dragged Fossati and the woman out and placed them in the hack, which was driven to the outskirts of the city. Their clothes were torn off and a heavy coat of tar and feathers applied, and the two were ordered to leave the city. The affair was well planned and exe- cuted, the thoroughfare through which the hack passed being guarded by armed men, and any attempt to stop them would have been futile.

Hard Work md— Indigestion go Hand in Hand. Concentrated thought, continued 'in, robs the stomach of necessary blood, and this is also true of hard physical labor. When a five horse-power engine is made to do ten horse-power work some- thing is going to break. Very often the hard-worked man coming from the field or the office will ‘“bolt’’ his food in a few minutes which will take hours to digest. Then too, many foods are about as useful in the stomach as a keg of nails would be in a fire under a boiler. The ill-used stomach refuses to do its ‘work without the proper stimulus which it gets from the blood and nerves. The nerves are weak and ‘‘ready to break,”” because they do not get the mnourish- ment they require from the blood, finally the ill-used brain is morbidly wide awake when the overworked man attempts to find rest in bed.

The whole system feels the effect of the pure blood coursing through the body and the nerves are vitalized and strengthened, not deadened, or put to sleep, as the so-called celery compounds and nerve mixtures do—but refreshed and fed on and Michael Sheridan, aged 11, 12 and 13 Eegn respectively, were drowned in Lake rie this afternoon. Moriis was seized with cramps and his two companions went to his rescue, when all three were drowaed. the food they need for health. If you suffer from indigestion, dyspessia, nerv- ousness, or impure blood and disordered stomach, you can cure yourself with Dr, Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery,
