During the prevalence of the thunder
storm Monday afternoon the blacksmith
shop of Coombs & Bowman received Il call
from a passing thunderbolt and several
persons that were in the shop had a close
escape from instant death. w II. Bow
man relates that he had just finished mend
ing u sickle-bar, and was standing at the
anvil with hammer and punch in band,
while Bud Porter stood on the opposite
side Of the anvil holding the bar for him,
when suddenly a streak of lightning came
down the hues, knocked the fire from the
forge, wrenched the sclle-bar from
Porter's hands and hurled it across the
shop, breaking it i'll two pieces, aud at the
same time throwing Bowman and Porter
clear across the shop, they bringing up
against the opposite wall but fortunately
both of them escaped any injury whatever.
not even stunned. John Woods. the
wagonmaker, who was at work in another
part of the shop, was knocked down and
sustained painful bruises about the head
and shoulders; but the injuries were in no
way serious. Taking ii altogether, the three
men made most miraculous escape. In
Simultaneous with the report of this concus-
sion, there was at DR.. Forests house,
which is about two blocks distant and al
most in direct line from the shop, sound
as of breaking glass, and upon examining
his premises the doctor found that a shaft
of the lightning had penetrated one of the
windows in the east end of the kitchen
The flash was almost binding and the re-
port deafening and for an instant almost
everyone in Alturas believed that his own
premises had been struck by lightning

We had not supposed that the old maids
would get into the present campaign, but
they have managed to create not small
diversion already in the regular order of
assault and retreat 1t appears that the in
famous libel about Mr. and Mrs. Blaine
was first heard of in the press in 1876, ap-
pearing in the Paris True Kentuckian, and
thereafter III the Frankfort Ye0mGn, both
Democratic papers. Thereupon the Louis
Vile Coluicr-Jo,rRGl set on foot an inveSti-
CATION, which resulted in q complete vindi-
cation of the characters Of both Mr. and
Mrs. Blaine, both of whom had lived in
Kentucky, and both of whom were teach
ers there, one in Georgetown and the other
in Lexington. The Journal, just before the
National Convention met, had the courage
to expose the baSelessness of the libel at the
time, and to denounce it editorially. The
New York Herald, on the revival of the
story more recently, ready and anxious to
hurt Mr.. Blaine, sent trusted representa-
tive to Kentucky to again investigate the
matter and with instructions and means to
go to the bottom of it. On his return he
reported the charges utterly without found
alton or the shadow of support. He at
tributed the whole affair to the inventive
faculty, the mysterious suspicious and
suggestions OF some old maids and village
gosSips, who were enyious of the lady Mr..
Blaine had married, and who hated her for
the reason that is no reason, but which
jealousy feeds upon in such cases. SO it
comes about that to the old maids is TO be
credited one of the sensations OF ihe Presi-
dental c3mpaigu.

WISE RESOLUTION.

We have all along believed that the good
sense of the managers of the Prohibition
party would direct them to abandon Ma
tional campaigns until they have first
brought the people of the several States to
a reception of the Prohibition policy. The
truth has long been apparent that the right
fight to make in such a reform is first in
small communities, next in subdivisions Of
States, then III States and so on. Prohibi-
tionism will not be able at any period to
leap at once into National prominence
Nor would the election of a Prohibition
President assure the supremacy in the pol
icy of the country of single Prohibition
sentiment or the enactment of prohibition
laws. Realizing these facts, and that
through legislative avenues they must first
make themselves felt the Prohibition
party in Mississippi, Georgia and Indiana
have resolved not to enter the National
campaign. They propose to vote as Prohi-
bitioniSts only when their votes will effect
something. The success of the party
locally in Iowa, Kansas, and par
tally in Ohio and Missouri, emphasizes
the wisdom of the resolution taken in In
diana, Georgia and Mississippi. The party
in the other States should follow the exam

ROGERS AND GEORGE.

No man has contributed more to the cor
rec; information Of the reading public on
the labor and wages question, than Jas.
i. Thorold Rogers. by his elaborate history
OF Work and Wages" during six CEN
turics in England. 1t is by far the most
exhaustive and reliable review and cola
ton of facts ever made on the subject, and
is Il perfectly clear analysis of the whole
question. We cannot now undertake to
review the book; that must be comprised
in distinct article. But the occasion is
taken to say that Rogers reaches conclu-
sions diametrically opposed 10 those found
by Henry George. During six centuries III
England, he proves that the laborer has
steadily progressed, and has better food
and more of it, better wages and more GER
tain payment, broader opportunities and
greater resources, and is all in all a
weighter factor in Government and society,
than in any previous era. Dependence is

Yesterday the police discovered another
case of leprosy in the Chinese quarters III
this city The leper was a most loathsome
spectacle. How long the patient has been
kept concealed by his countryman is not
known, and the discovery was purely the

moved to the County Hospital.
Grain reports from all portions of Doug
las county, Oregon, are to the effect that
the yield will be a very large one. 1t was

greatly damaged the wheat fields in that

tensions were without foundation.
Jackson Stiles, an old resident of south

ished from hunger and exposure.

The researches of scientific men are
slowly but surely increasing the sum of our
knowledge of the nature of infectious dis
eases, and furnishing us with more effect
ual weapons with which to combat them.
One of the latest contributions to this i'm
portant theme is that made by Professor
Tyndall, in which he offers plausible ex-
PLANTATION to account for the hitherto unac-
countable fact that single attack of q
number of the most fatal diseases of this
class finally affords the survivor complete
immunity from second one. Professor
Tyndall suggests that, just as the soil may
be so effectually robbed of some essential
ingredient by one abundant crop as to be
incapable Of producing another, so in the
human system parasitic disease may SO
completely exhaust the blood of some in
gredient necessary TO the growth and pro-
pagation of the parasite, that the produc-
ton of second crop in such quantity as
to be fatal may be rendered impossible.
Thus it may be possible that only once in
the lifetime of an individual his system
may present the conditions suitable for the
development of smallpox, typhoid, scarla-
tina etc, and having successfully passed
through the ordeal, the body may have
been so impoverished, or deprived of some
essential ingredient by the first crop of pa
rasites, that it becomes invulnerable to a
second attack. This view certainly has
great plausibility, and has lately been to
certain extent rendered more probable by
certain researches of other experiments in
the field Of experimental physiology

KOCH,S DISCOVERY.

The impression is growing stronger and
more widespread that DIR. Koch's dis
cover" relative to the cholera germ has
not contributed material aid to the effort
TO thwart the disease. 1t has added to the
sum Of human knowledge, but thus far
has done little more than that The the
DRY of the Doctor that the cOntagion will
move upon the wings of the wind is very
generally an;aSonized by the medical fra
ternity, and docs not accord with the belief
as to what physical facts have proved. If
the microbes, says one reviewer, convey
the infection through the food, how can
they be deposited thereon without the
action of the air currents? The question
would seem to be unanswcrable. In fact,
it has not been demonstrated what is not
means Of conveyance Of the Infection. DR..
Koch's discovery will be but an aggrava-
ton unless it leads to some improved meth
DDS Of treatment, if not to prevention OF
the disease. But there is excuse for in
vitation to the hope that the result of the
Doctors researches will be something more
than mere discovery. The progress of dis
coycrv in other branches of science has not
ceased at the mere disclosure OF new facts,
and it would appear that the advancement
in this particular will be coequal with that
made in medical science in other respects
Concerning cholera prevention, there is
really but one thing we know for abso-
Lutte certainty; that is that cleanliness is the
foe of the disease. All else is speculation.
Indeed, We are now told that fear has
nothing to do with invitation for il; whereas
nothing has been more diligently preached
than the danger Of panicly state of mind
in Il cholera season. If the microbe theory
be true, it is easy to establish that the
mental slate will not cause the germ to
enter the system, any more than resolution
of resistance will keep it out Yet we do
know that the mental state largely inhu-
ences the physical, SO, then, q dc
b.litated condition, due TO mental anxi-
city, does render the ingrcss of the germ
into the system less difficult. But there is
one thing in the line of practical use that
III AoCu ulSVoNVit has eoNaollsheu. mat
is, that the water used for drinking pur-
poses should be pure, since the germ is
easily conveyed in it. Pure water of
course, is one Of the incidents Of cleanli-
ness, but KochS inquiries have empha-
sized the necessity of using water in cholera
seasons that is not charged with microbes.
and the only assurance against their CON
veyance by the fluid is to boil it.

VICIOUS EFFORT TO DECEIVE.

A vicious and altogether rcprehensible
effort is being made to array the Germans
in America against Mr.. Blaine. There is
no ground for it whatever-not the slightest
reason. The idea that he should be hostile
against any class Of foreigners capable Of
becoming American citizens, is absurd.
When he addressed the American Minister
at Berlin, inviting Germans, and especially
descendants of Baron Steuben's family to
visit America Oh the occasion of the York
town celebration, Mr.. Blaine wrote:
Those who come as the representatives Of
Baron Steubtn's family will be assured in our
day Of peace and prosperity of as warm vel
come as was given to their illustrious kinsman
in the dark days of adversely and war They
will be the hOnored guests Of fifty million
Americans, a vast number of whom have Ger
man blood in their veins and constitute one of
the most worthy and valuable elements that
make up the strength of the republic. Intense
ly devoted with patriotic fidelity to America,
they yet retain and cherish and transmit the
most aiiCCtiOnate memory of fdtherland. To
these the visit of Baron Stcuben's relatives will
have something of the revival of family ties,
while to all Americans, of whatever origin, the
presence of German guests will afford fitting OPP
pOrtunlty OF test1iying their respect for that
great country within whose imperial limits are
included 50 much of human grandeur and
human progress.
SO impressed and pleased were Emperor
William and the Crown Prince of Germany
with the conduct of Mr.. Blaine in receiving
and entertaining the German guests, as the
Secretary of State Of the American republic,
that they sent to him personally, in Novem-
Der, 1882, their portraits, with autographs
attached-and this long after he had ceased
to be Secretary of State, or to hold any
official position. Al that time Count Won
Beust said to Mr.. Blaine, in letter dated
November 80, 1882
His Majesty the Emperor and the Crown
Prince of Germany have sent me their portraits,
with their autographs attached instrIcting me
to present them to you, in appreciation of your
syInpatEetical sentiments exhibited on every
occasion toward the German Government and
the German people, and more especially on the
occasion OF the recent visit 10 this country of
the members of the Won Steuben family. In
compliance with these instructions, have the
honor to transmit herewith the said portraits,
and avail myself of this opportunity to renew to
you, sir, the assurance of the highest considera-
ton.
This does not look rs if Blaine was con
sidcred hostile TO Germans
