The Question Of the Dav.

EDITOR AsToRIAN:-To give our
unenterprIsing citizens an idea what
other people in our neighborhood are
doing, they should take a trip to
Ilwaco on the steamer Candy or on
the Portland steamer Potter, look
at the narrow gauge railroad, now
being constructed by the I. r. & N.
Co. to Shoalwater bay, and make cal
culations if it would not be profitable
to build such a road to Clatsop beach
and make 100000 per year, than to
let business go past our doors as it is
doing at present, and all the while
asking ourselves the question, "what
shall We do to make things livelier."

A decision has been rendered by
Judge Deadly in the suit of Carrie
Jones against the United States to
compel the defendant to issue pat
ent to her for quarter section of
land entered several years ago by J. r.
Frlerson in Columbia county who paid
S40O for it under the act for the sale
of timber lands in the Pacific states
and assigned his interest to her. The
plaintiff alleges that the servants of
the defendant refused to issue the
patent and retained the money paid.
The court held that the purchaser of
the land at the land office under the
tlmber-sale act was the owner of it,
and that the United States thereafter
held the bare legal title in trust for
the purchaser, and that this right
was property right, and the land
department could not arbitrarily
cancel it or set it aside. If it is al
legged that the sale was fraudulently
obtained, the government must 90 in
to court and bring suit to set aside the
sale, where the purchaser can be
heard according to the law of the
land. 1t must not be decided by fat
law. The court held that IN the act OF
1887, giving this court Jurisdiction
OF any claim against the government
not exceeding $4,000. the word
claim included the demand of this
plaintiff to have apatent issued to her,
and did not refer to money claims
only, as counsel for the government
contended.

One time Jim Fiske and the Erie
railroad on one side. and Vanderbilt
and the New York Central on the
other, got into big freight fight and
at last Vanderbilt's road got to haul
ing cattle for 81 a head, when the
actual cost to his company was 1925
a head; that is to say every steer they
carried resulted in net loss of ST.
25. Then Jim Fiske began buying
cattle and shipping them over Van
derbilt's road. 'Tis said about the
same thing is now going on on the

a general revival of trade at JnO. G. De-

enormous in this very valuable article

Joggles came Looping in yesterday
afternoon and said he had been across
the river and felt kind of poetic. He
said that the sparkle of the sea and
the CLEAN OF the sunlight and the
swaying of the pines on the cliff and
the flutter of the sail that was as a
wing to watt his soul from earth's
sterner cares into an atmosphere of
lighter fancy, had all so wrought upon
his sensitive spirit that he was going
to take a spin down to Clatsop. This
kind of weather does affect some
folks that way.

Tragic Death of a Needed Witness.

ESPECIAL TO THE ASTORIAN.)
DUBLIN, July 20.-Dr. James Rid
ley, medical officer in attendance at
pullamore Jail during Mr.. Mande-
ville's incarceration there, and who
was subpoenaed to appear at the in
guest at Michellstown, to inquire into
Mandeville's death, has committed
suicide. DR.. Ridley had been present
at the inquest daily, waiting to be
called to the witness stand, and the
evidence given to show that Mande-
vile was subject to ill usage while in
jail, seemed to prey upon his mind.
His suicide has confirmed the popular
belief that Vaudeville had been
treated with extreme cruelty by the
prison officials.

Remedies.
/ am going to tell you of the extraordinary
change your CUTICURA REMEDIES performed
on me. About the lst of April last L noticed
some red Elmples like coming out all over my
body. but thought nothing of it until some
time later on, when it began to look like spots
of mortar spotted on, and which came off in
layers, accompanied with itching, I would
scratch every night until was raw, then the
next night the scales, being formed mean
while, were scratched off again. In vain did
consult all the doctors in the country, but
without aid. After giving up all hopes of re-
covery, happened to see an advertisement
in the newspaper about your CUTICUR REM
EDIEs, and purchased them from my druggist,
and obtained almost immediate relief. / be-
gan to notice that the scaly eruptions gradu-
ally dropped off and disappeared one by one,
and have been fully cured. had the disease
thirteen months before / began taking the
CUTICURA REMEDIES, and in four or five weeks
was entirely cured. My disease was eczema
and psoriasis. l recommended the CUTICURA
REMEDIES to all in my, vicinity, and l know of
a great many who have taken them, and
thank me for the knowledge of them, especial
ly mothers who have babes with scaly erup-
tions on their heads and bodies. 1 cannot ex-
press in words the thanks to you for what the
CUTICURA REMEDIES have been to me. Nv
body was covered with scales, and l was an
awful spectacle to behold. Now my skin is
as nice and clear as baby's.

at first sight looked like the inside OF earse.
cts the latest English fashion, don't you
! know, and so in keeping with my Grape gown.
l didn't like it at tirst but / do not believe I
could sleep in colors again"
The room was furnished with handsome
suit OF white enamel, and the bed spread and
| pillow shams were of black satin inervilleux
embroidered i'll black velvet applique with sill
yer thread, the monogram of the widow being
worked in silver on the center of both snread
and shams. The toilet table and little escr;-
toire were draped in the same manner, and at
the windows were thin curtains OF black Lib
erty silk against white lace.
"Look here said the pretty widow, and she
threw back the bed covers, displaying sheets OF
black silk hemstitched in white, and black silk
slips ON the pillows.
II dress in black from top to toe" she con-
tinued, seeming to glory ia her funeral clothes.

sets and black silk petticoat, ana even have
my gowns lined with black. My friends tell
me they would sleep as comfortable in a coffin
as in my bed, but find tia delightful resting
place.
"And do you know" she continued, "a
friend who has just been made widow is hav-
ing room fitted like mine, only with black
jet monograms. A great many English wo-
men who are not in mourning have black
rooms and that is where got my idea"
Then she led tho way into the boudoir, all

naries that piped i'll the golden cages

THE OLD MAN KILLED.
a FrightfuI Tragedy to be Expiated on the
GalloWs

COLUMBIA, S. c., September 30.-[Special.l
Ephram Mayes, Lou Bert and Chancey Bert,
LOUIS sixteen-year-old daughter, were SEN
fenced to be hanged at Edgetield, Friday, for
the murder of Jacob Bert, the father OF Cham
cey and the husband Of Lou. The murdered
man was an elderly deaf mute, almost helpless
and q charge upon his family. Dan Graham
was intimate with Lou, and Ephram Mayes
with Chancey, and they were all anxious to
get rid OF the old man, so upon the night OF
December 4th last, whilst Jake Bert was
asleep, Graham knocked him in the head with
a heavy club and killed him. Mayes, Graham,
Lou and Chancey then carried the body about
thirty yards from the house and buried it in
potato patch, whore it was found five days
afterwards by the neighbors. Graham fled
and successfully eluded pursuit The other
three were arrested, tried and upon Chancey's
confession and corroborative substantial evil
dence, convicted and sentenced to be hanged
today. A few days ago Chancey gave birth to
child. This Circumstance, together with the
fact that she was an unwilling accessory IN
the crime, caused the governor to grant her o
pardon, and the popular antipathy in this state
to hanging woman secured for Leu Bert a
Communication OF her sentence to life imprison-
ment. In the case Of Ephram Mayes the
governor declined to interfere, and every
preparation for his execution today had been
completed. Friday morning, however, few
hours before the time fixed for the hanging,
the news was flashed over the wires from Edge
field that Dan Graham, the principal in the
murder, had just been captured. Now, as the
Edgetield court meets CT the second Monday
in October, and as the evidence against Ora
ham is conclusive, the governor deemed it
best to respite until Graham can be tried and
convicted, and thus have II double hanging
Thus he has fixed Friday October Is, as the
date for the execution of Mayes on which day,
unless something unforefeen occurs, the two
murderers will pay the penalty OF their crime
side by side.
