SMaLL FIREs NEAR PLEASANT HoME RESULT IN SPREADING FLAMES To GREAT DAMAGE. PORTLAND, Or., Oct. 23.—A forest fire near Mount Scott has been playing havoc with timber and cordwood the past two days. On Monday night it was very brisk, and burned everything off in the vicinity of Lent’s sawmill, taking the bridge at the mill. _ C. L. Rogers lost 1500 cords of waod, and Mr. Gentry, 8. McCarthey and H. Johnson from 200 to 500 cords each. People residing in the vicinity of Pleas- ant Home have been having a lively expe- rience, with forest fires raging in every | direction. There had been started in various places, possibly for con- suming the slashings, with little apprehen- sion on the part of those who started them, who evidently supposed they could be easily controlled and kept ~within bounds. But a heavy wind sprang up and carried these incipient fires into the dry timber and among the underbrush, alarming the whole community, and arousing a great many people to the necessity of protect- ing their homes the best they could from destruction. To the energy and effort expended may be attributed the saving of a number of buildings, for a great many were in danger. The damages were confined to the fencing. The continuous dry weather threatens very disastrous fires throughout the State. S uieSetre CHURCH PROPERTY TAXABLE. Can Be Assessed in Oregon When Diverted to Outside Uses. PORTLAND, Or., Oct. 23.—An impor- tant decision is handed down by the Su- preme Court in the case of the Hibernia Benevolent Society of Portland vs. the Sheriff of Multnomah County, to restrain the collection of taxes on a business lot and brick block in Portland, on account of the society being a benevolent and charitable institution. Two points were settled by the decision. That an institution may be a benevolent and charitable one within the purview of the law, even though its bounty be b stowed upon its own members and thei families only; that the property sought to be exempted, having been leased to others and a revenue derived therefrom, is not exempt from taxation within the meaning of the statute, and no part of 1t is exempt, except such as is actually occupied by the society itself for benevolent purposes. This virtually sustainos the action of Assessor Greenleaf, who recently assessed $3,000,000 worth of church and benevolent society property used for uther purposes. Taxes will now have to be paidin this county on such realty and its improve- ments, which has not been done here in almost a half century. The position of the Supreme Court will stimulate A ssessors all over the State to emulate Greenleaf. small fires WERDED T0 A REL LORD A TACOMA YOUNG LADY CAPTURED THE SON OF AN ENGLISH EARL.

She said she knew of no reason why they were following her. | The officer talked with the other women, and secured an interesting story. The | older lady gave her name as Senora Jesus | de Miramontes, and said the younger lady was her daughter Rosa. She declared she had no sinister intention against the other woman, and explained why she was follow- | ing her. One Luis Rodriguez had courted | Rosa Miramontes, who is only 16 years old, and had obtained her promise to marry | him. | They went before the civil Judge at En- | senada and bans were announced. Rodri- guez, she said, had deserted Rosa and fled |5 Diego last Sunday morning. The | strange woman was a friend of Rodriguez | and Mrs. Miramontes said she had reason | to belive the woman was on her way to join Rodriguez. She was therefore follow- |ing her with the hope of finding Rodri- | guez. Then a dangerous glitter came in theold | lady’s eye, and she added to her sentence | with a gesture that suggested trouble, | While she was telling her story the strange | woman took a hack and left the whari, | and Mrs, Miramontes and daughter hastily | took another and followed her. The old | lady said she would follow her to the ends { of the earth. The woman went direct to the north- | bound train and purchased a ticket for | Los Angeles. Mrs. Miramontes and her | daughter did the same, and the last seen of the party was when Mrs. Miramontes boarded the car occupied by the strange | woman. Her looks indicated that she could handle Luiz Rodriguez or any other { man, and that she would get him or perish in the attempt. of Pedro Miramontes, late Chief of Police iol Insenada, and her daughter Rosa is a pretty and innocent girl. Rodriguez is said to be a gambler. LADYDOUGLAS N DEMAND, JRIVAL THEATRICAL MANAGERS QUARREL OVER SECURING HER SERVICES. FRAWLEY'S CONTRACT ANTEDATED i BY ANOTHER SIGNED BY HER LADYSHIP.

BAKERSFIELD, OCaL., Oct. 23.—The discovery has been made that the bonds of Contractor Kilpatrick, who.is building this city’'s Courthouse, are worthless. There has been much trouble with the Courthouse. It should have been com- pleted before this, but the building is only partly finished, and is now exposed to rain. The workmen have not been paid, and now that the contractor’s bonds are found to be worthless it is impossible to tell what the outcome will be.

Truth About the Workings of These «“Men of Muscle.” HERE ARE NOT A FEW ENTHUSIASTS who are wrapped up in the feats of the men with highly developed muscles who are known as the “sirong men’ of the world. Those easily impressed wonder—they admire—they in fact worship. But it only needs the most ordinary industry to develop as the result ot inquiry that the faculiy of these “strong men” as “stayers” is very small, And indeed, if the truth were told, they would most of them have ““a weak back” very sudc if they were called on to do_an ordinary people know what that weak back means. means a certain indication that the individual who has it is not in good health. [t may mesn (taken in the abstract asa symptom) that one is suffering from a severe nervous disorder, for But as a rule it means that the sys- un down,” and from this state the most serious ilinesses of which tne world has any record grow. Any one who has any doubt on that matter may very readily have his ideas Km right by consultingany reputable man who as ever suffered from it. Perhaps a brighter or better example could not be found than Mr. Geo. H. Bent of Rochester, Cal. Not long ago Mr. Bent found himself with a weak back and a completely shattered system, and placed him- seli—as he was in imminent danger—in com- munication with the physicians of the great HUDSON MEDICAL INSTITUTE. That was the most sensible thing that he could have done under the circumstances, of course, and now that they have saved his life (as he is abundantly willing to testify) he has written them & letfer of thanks. It is of interest be- cause, aithough he has virtually been snatched from the jaws of death, his back still bothers him a little, showing how vital is that symp- tom. Rochester, Cal , August 3, 1895, Hudson Medical Institufe, San Francisco, Cal.—Dear Sirs: Yours of 24th duly received. This 18 where the good feeling comes in, for { am sure that you like to hear from pailents who, like myself, are about cured. Iam sure [ ike to be able to write 1n this way, for as I am now. I think that by the time that I get the medicine taken that I am on now 1 shan't need to take any more if you think I will stay this way. My back does not bother me hardly any now, and I feel better in every way. Yours very truly, GEORGE H. BENT. Mr. Bent's letter hears on it the very im- pression of truth, and he is like hundreds of other patients of that grandest of all curative establishments, the HUDSON MEDICAL IN- STITUTE, in that he, knowing where he has re- ceived great good, is not ashamed or afraid to tell of it. For example: S. M. Hooker of Los Angeles says:- “I am very grateful for what you have done for me."” E. W. Fowler, Kamele, Or.: “I am feeling as good now as it is possible for a man to feel. J. 7. Ward of Park City, Utah, writes: *‘T am very pleasec to say that I am cured of the terrible disease that T had.” 1f testimony of this sort does not show skill that cannot be surpassed what on earth can?
