A Fishy Fraud.

his way through crowd in front of
the Bank, yesterday, when he saw
several large sturgeon lying on the
Italians counter alongside the Seat
tie market. Approaching tho near
est and largest of them, the reporter
murmured "Whst q monstrons stur-

"Eetcher life," replied the stur.
geon in a voice that seemed to come
from the very jaws of death.
"Great Heavens" cried the petri-
fed reporter, "what does this mean?"
Bow down thine ear" replied the
fish, with awful solemnity. "Do you
know who I amp"
"No," said the trembling reporter,
"when can we have met? I have not
been in-swimming for thirteen.
years."
i knew you once at Mud Springs,
when you were publishing the Fog
Horn Of Freedom" replied the stur-
geon. "As tor me, I am Snuffy
Sampler, the champion blk. That
fellow next to me is Balty McGin-
mis-, the brace-dealer."
"Why- oh why, is this thus ?"
moaned the unhappy reporter.
"Lissen, youth, to the words of
power" promptly answered thestur-
geon. "This is the doctrine of Py-
thago.as-the transmigration of souls.
Every man who's a swind]er or q

"Great Heavens, can this be true" :"
gasped the reporter. who had once
showed three jacks up his sleeve.
''Yes, the frauds all become stur-
geons," replied the fish. "See how
the curse of Cain-but I must dis

NAY tell me oil, sobbed the ,e-
porter.
"Behold me then, a sturgeon,
cried the fish. Tomorrow, I shall
be served up at one hash-house, as q
sea-bass, of which there are none in
these waters; at another, I shall be
called fresh cod; at another q tur-
bot; at another, silver carp. Oh,
this confession is agonizing--got that

Farewell then" said the fish, IT

famed her husbands brow with a

A dark film began to spread over
the surgeons eye and his soul was

CoALING.-The Dakota will haul up
to the Seattle bunkers this evening and
take in her load of coal before going to
Olympia. 1t is qnite probable that she
will anchor at Utsalady on the down
trip and take on about $50 tons OF
Swinomish oats, to be shipped by
Gactes Bros. of Laconner.
SToNE.-A large quantity of beautiful
building stone from the Chuckanut
quarry will be shipped to San Francis

in introducing it into that city will not
be its want of merit. bnt the general use
OF artificial stone Which costs much less.

formerly resided heie and whose kind

kindness. to many of our citizens will
be long remembered, was married at
Victoria last week to young lady of
Nanaimo.
RUNNING By SoUND.-It was very
foggy when the d. 1ota came up the
bay this morning and the whistle oa
the mill blew steadily for nearly an
hour. The deep bass of the steamer
answered it till the good ship reach
her wharf in safety.
WORTHLESS. - A. c. Brown, an old
prospector from this place, visited the
new diggings near Sooke and has re-
turned to Victoria. He says that the
ground is not extepsive and that there
are three men there for every one that
can find work.
SoUALLY.- We may expect great

fell three-tenths before noon to-day. It

RUBBER AND CAPCINE.

There is scarcely branch OF human indus
try In which India Rubber has not ir some
form found its way. Although widely known
and used. but few are aware OF its medicinal
viitue and great curative properties. Prac-
tical experiment has proven that it is natur-
al reservoir Of electricity, containing more
than any known substance or compound
Owing to this fact 1t has been used with sue
cess in curing Nervous complaints and Rheu-
metism that were invulnerable to drugs.
Ii has also beon discovered that India Rub
Der possesses all the properties valuable as
aspe ihc for Pulmonary complaints and cures
eases. Combined with Capcine it is unparal-
leled as Pain Reliever. whether external
or internal. Nearly all the Surgeons have
adopted 1t on account of its great healing
properties.
The most erectuaI way of using the article
is in the form of a perforated plaster. The
extensive use of ordlrar Perfoi ated or Por-
GUS Plasters. is testimony to its merit.
The only objection ever found with the Or
dinary Rubber Porous Plaster is that it acts
too slowy-requiring days and continuous
wear to relieve pam or to effect a cure.
A celebrated Physician Of New York. who
| has long made the medical properties OF Rub
Der study has succeeded in max ing grea
Improvement in Porous Plaster by int roduc
| ing Capcine, which overcomes all the former
objections, causing the Plaster to do in a
few moments or hours. that which 1t former
| ly required days or weeks.
Capclne IS the most valuable ingredient
ever used as nm Internationally. Itoperates
with astonishing viRorand relieves pain i'm
| mediately. Its curative properties have be-
come so famous that anenterprising firm in
New York took it in hand. and by bringing
Capcme Plaster to the attention OF Physi-
clans, have met with unprecedented success.
The article is known as BEESON'S CAP
CINE PLASTER. The price Is the same as
the ordinary Porous Plaster. 25 cents. Ever y

Judge Hoge for Congress.

MIR. HARPER There is no doubt
about Judge John Blair lIoge. of Berke-
ley County, being candidate for the
nomination for Congress from this dis.
trict. / have this information from one
oil bis most ardent supporters in this
matter, and it may therefore be relied
upon as certain. The Judge is II very
popular man i'm this county. 1t will
take hard work, think, for any of the
other candidates mentioned TO tn lie the
vote Of this county from him. Judg e
Hoge is well known in this county, have
ing frequently held Court here since he
has been on the Bench. Our people
like him as Judge, and will ike him
as member or Congress still more.
The Convention for this county TO ap.
point delegates to The Congressional
Convention has not yet been held, and
II is therefore impossible 10 tell who the
delegation will be for, except from the
sentiment Of the people. IL the people
are fairly and honestly represented, I
have no doubt tic vote OF this county
ia the convention will be given to Judge
Hoge. i understand from Trustworthy
sources that tic counties OF Hardy.
Grant and PeBdleton will be soIidly for
Judge lloge in the Convention. All
these last named counties have appoin.
ted their delegates, that too when il was
not known that the Judge would be be.
fore the convention. This fact shows
how the people in this section OF tho
district estimate the Judge and his
worth. There is no doubt in my mind
that Judge Iloge is decidedly the
choice Of the people Of this part Of the
district mean that he is the choice in
this senatorial district. When the Con.
gresslonal convention meets it will he
found that he has largely the msjority
OF the delegates. A VOTER.
