The wheat market continues dull and
languid, as the owners of what surplus there
is in the country do net seem inclined to
meet the market. Wheat may be quoted at
81 IS per GENITAL. with slightly declining
tendency.
The wool market has not beenso active the
past week as the previous one, though for
choice woods the prices current have been
maintained. Receipts are decreasing. and it
is estimated that two-thirds of the seasons
clip has been marketed, perhaps three
fourths. The quotations are 1Sc to 25e for
eastern Oregon, and 25c to 27Ac for valley
wool, though sales are noted OF very choice
lot Of 10000 pounds valley at 2SIc.
The average salmon catch per boat during
the week has been about II or Is. Salmon
ON the river is worth 81 25 per dozen. or So
per case. Some canreIies are paying 65c per
fish to the boatmen.
Flour continues dull Prices are not
affected by the rise in wheat. Oats are very
firm at advanced quotations. Shipments to
California are much larger than during any
previous year. The supply here is hardly
equal to the home consumption, owing to the
heavy exports.

small wooden box lying near the waters edge.
Hodson picked up the box, and upon raising
the lid found wrapped in white skirt a

three days old. In the bottom of the box

bank. The body was buried by the Coroner.
An investigation is being made as to the mys-
terious infanticide.
The large dwelling of w. E. Harkleroad,

FIRE AND LIGHTNING.
A Kentucky Town Burned---Fa-
tai Flash of lightning.

LOUISVILLE, August 20.-A Cour-
ier-Joulnal special from Richmond,
KY, says A fire broke out at 8 o'clock
last night in Irvine, the county seat
Of Estelle county, and destroyed all
the business portion Of the place ex-
cept three stores on the opposite side Of
the street. The Irvine Hotel Shepherd
House, Keller's livery stable, Shep-
herd House livery stable, Powells'
drugstore, Conrey's warerooms, store
house and dwelling, Bergman's dry
goods and grocery store, Buttermarth 5
grocery and tin shop and Friends
dry goods store are all total loss.
Contents ofall except perhaps Powell's
and Bergmah's goods, or portion Of
them. The fire was evidently the
work Of an incendiary, as there had
been no fire in the wareroom for three
years. The loss is estimated at $780,
900 or $4,000, with but little insur-
ance. 1t is feared that the town will
be long time in rebuilding.
A special in the same paper from
Princeton, KY, says that lightning
struck a negro cabin at Barrettsville,
in the suburbs of Princeton, last
evening, killing an aged negro woman
by the name of Betsy Stokes, and
crippling little negro boy The
woman was crossing the street at the
time, and was killed simultaneously.
while the clouds looked dark and
ominous here, and there was much
lightning, yet there was very small
shower of rain.

desiring to obtain the exact condition
Of the President, conferred with DIR.
Boynton, who said:
THE patient is still better this
morning and everything is favorable. y
The feeling Of reinsurance is rapid
ly increasing.
In response to an inquiry, DR..
Boynton said: "At Ills am. the
President continues to improve slow
ly, and everything is favorable. 1t is
worthy Of notice that the condition Of
the patient this morning. as shown by
the $50 bulletin, was better, 50 far as
pulse, temperature and respiration are
concerned, than at any corresponding
hour during the past eleven days. On
the 9th Of August the patients pulse
at the morning examination was SO;
temperature, SO 8; respiration, 49,
Since that time his pulse has never
been below 100, morning or evening
until to-day, when it was 81, with TEN.
perature and respiration correspond,
ingly improved. 1t is hoped that this
fall Of the pulse below 100 indicates q
gradual return to the favorable condi
tions which existed about a week
before the last operation"

ment through the mouth severa

be tried soon. If it be retained ant
assimilated, beef juice will hencefortl
be given every day. An enema wa

Of an egg.
