THE HE'LL GATE DUMPING.

To EDITOR OF THIS HKRALp-
As resident Of the Twcnythird ward, and residing
not great distance from the scene Of the proposed
new dumping ground, the action Of the Board Of Alder
men is very obnoxious to well as 10 all the resi-
dents of this district The only reason for this step
seems TO be TO got nice, shady place for hewecep
ton OF garbage" which Will also add about 100
OF land TO the island l he objections to II (if any
member OF the Board did obect) were disregarded.
without dwelling on the fact. the nilng in OF this
channel decided check TO navigation, especially in
winter, and possibly Will interfere with sewers from
certain avenues in the Twenty-,hird ward. would
remind the Aldermen thut a dumping ground how
ever small, is nuisance, and that by making vast
dumping ground this locality, now healthy they
are placing blight ON the growth OF this locality just

Hayes Weakening on HIS Policy,

WASHINGTON, July 6.-The cabinet, to-
day discussed the presidents order pro-
hibiting federal officers participating in
political conventions. etc, the question
being whether it should be enforced against
certain Iowa officials who took part in the
Iowa convention and whether the post
master general, in yesterday letter to the
Madison, Wis, postmaster correctly in
terpreted it. The latter question was de-
clded in the affirmative and it was agreed
that while the order should be firmly main
tanned and enforced, that in the Iowa cases
where the ofice-holders who took part in
the convention had been elected members
before it was issued, there was no reason
for enforcing it

Gllamook county, who voted for Grover
and whose property was heavily mortgaged

off some debts and cancelled his mortgages
Immediately after the adjournment OF the
legislature; that he displayed considera-
Bile sums of money and changed 20 dollar
pieces frequently in Portland, just after
the senatorial election W. J. Miller, of
Wasco. testified that Butler, a member of
the house from that county, who was sup
posed to be in limited circumstances be-
fore the election, Immediately after pur-
chased half interest in a steam saw mill
for $4,000, which occasioned surprise and
remarks among his neighbors. Parties
managing the investigation say they are
only on the threshold of TIE testimony

Senator Nesmith and wanted money for
his vote, and afterward voted for Grover.

that it was right to take it, is keeping out

scHENcK's SEA WEED TONIC.

In the atmosphere experienced here during the
summer months, the lethargy produced by the heat
takes away the desire for wholesome food and fire.
quent perspirations reduce bodily energy, partcu-
larly those suffering from the effects of debitata-
ting diseases In order to keep natural healthful
activity of the system we must resort 20 artificial
means For this purpose Schenck's Sea Weed Ton
ic il very eIectual. few doses will create an ap-
petite and give fresh vigor to the cnervated body
For dyspepsia, il is invaluable. Many eminent
physicians have doubted whether dyspepsia can be
permanently cured by the drugs which are gener-
ally employed for that purpose. The Sea Weed
Tonic in its nature is totally different from such
drugs. 1t contains 10 corrosive minerals acids
in fact it assists the regular operations of nature
and supplies her deficiencies. The tonic in its ma
ture so much resembles the gastric juice that it is
almost identical with that fluid The gastric juice
is the natural solvent which, in healthy condition
OF the body causes the food to be digested; and
when this juice is not cXCrCed in sufficient quaint
ties indigestion, with oil its distressing symptoms

Oestroved bY Fire.

This morning about 80 the guard at
the bridge discovered fire 10 the little
steamer Plow City. He at once notified
the policemen and the fire bell was rung,
but before help arrived, the whole top was
in flames, and burned clean to the hull
which is considerably damaged but still
hangs together. This is q severe blow to
Mr.. Thompson, the owner of the boat,
who, being a man of limited means, the
loss will be felt heavily by.him.
The fire probably originated from hot
steam pipes, or the fire place. The bridge
guard says that he saw the boat come in
about 10 o'clock, and about 1890 saw them
anchor it and go to the shore in skiff,
after this he is certain that no one went
out to, or came away from her, as she was
in plain sight of him, and he could not
have failed to see any movement around
her. Insured in the Traders Insurance

LONDON, July THE military situa-
ton now appears as follows. The Turks
have changed front and faced to west
ward, since the Russian entrance to
Bulgaria. The Russians are deploying,
with their left flank resting on the Danube,
to force the Turkish line from Rustchuk
to Shumla. When the movement is COM
pleted great battle may be expected, un-
less the Turks fall back to Balkans or the
Russians mask the whole quadilateral,
and turn it by passing the Balkans. The
Russian forces coming through Dobrodscha
are approaching the rear of the Turkish
Rustchuk and Shumla liGe. This column
is too strong to be opposed by any forces
detached from the Turkish main body,
while the main body itself cannot turn up
on it without exposing its rear to the
Russians main force. The garrisons OF
Sllistna, Varna and Kuttinge number
respectively 22,000,-2,O00 and 10000
which operating on the flauks or
rear of the Russian Dobrodscha force
would paralize its efforts to CO.
operate with the army in Central Bulga-
ria. Besides the garrisons of these forti-
fed places there is SULLIVAN Pasha's army,
which is now stated to be embarking at An
tiVan, and conld be landed at arna, which
would make the number OF Turks on the
Russian left flank alone over $4,000; the
Russian Dobrudscha corps is stated to
number only 10000.
