A PETRIFIED GIANT.
The Twin Brother OF the Cardin
Found In Oregon.

I
Found In Oregon.
PORTLAND, OREGON, Aug, T-[U. P. ]
Two men have just discovered in a
cave near Victoria, B. c., what seems to
be the upper part Of the body of a pet
rified giant. The material is of the
hardest kind Of granite, with rims OF
quartz running through 1t. The face
is almost perfect. The eyes and nose
have fallen in, and the ears are gone,
leaving holes. The ribs can be seen and
counted in the stone. The arms are
broken off below the shoulders and the
legs at the thighs. Several parts are
perfect, and show the body to be that OF
a largely developed man about ten feet
high. At places where the legs and
arms are broken off, there is a cylindri-
cal-shaped substance of darker color
than the external part, which is sup
posed to represent bone. This remark
able stone curiosity will probably be sent
to the Smithsonian Institution for ex-
hibition.

Physicians Were in Vain.

Mr.. David Meter, 795 Mission street,
San Francisco, CAL, writes that for sew
eral months he suffered from severe
cold and cough, which finally resulted
in total hoarseness. He consulted sew

and then tried Red Star Cough Cure.
After taking a few doses he felt better,
and before he had finished bottle he
was completely cured.

Miss Julia Thompson, house maid
for the past three years at the resi-
dence of Mr.. N. E. Emmons, was
taken seriously i'll last week. She had
been ailing for some weeks, but not so
as to take her bed. Her confinement
continued only one week Friday
afternoon about O. clock she became
suddenly worse and suffered great
agony for six hours. DR.. Robinson
informed her friends that a rupture or
perforation had taken place into the
abdominal cavity. At eleven o'clock
she became quiet and easy and died
at 1870 o'clock Saturday morning.
Owing to her sudden death it was
suggested to hold a Post Morten ex-
animation in order to satisfy the
friends and all concerned. Drs. Witter
and Robinson made the examination
the next day. The diagnosis was con-
firmed. They found that rupture or
perforation had taken place and over
one pint of matter and fluid had
escaped into the abdominal cavity and
caused death. Julia Thompson was a
young lady 26 years of age and came
to this country four years ago from
Hamburger. Bargens Stiff. Norway.
Since a short time after her arrival in
this county she has been employed by
Mr.. Emmon's and was faithful good
girl in every sense of the word She
could not have received better care or
kinder treatment than was bestowed
upon her by Mr.. and Mrs. Emmons
and friends Every want or wish was
gratifed. The saddest feature of all
was the fact that she was entirely
alone, having no relatives here and
passing away so suddenly and unex
pectedly that she could not inform
them Of her illness or speak Of them.
The funeral services were held at
the residence Sunday, Rev. A. Smith
officiating, A large number of SYM
pathizing friends were present. In
behalf of the deceased Mr. and Mrs.
Emmons wish to return their heart
felt thanks for the timely and gener-
Gus assistance of all friends who
assisted during her short illness.

taxable under the law of 1883. but re-
serves its opinion on the constitution

holds that the law is quite explicit
when it says ga true statement of the
