How Men Die.

If we know all the methods Of ap-
proach adopted by an enemy we are
the better enabled to ward off the
danger and postpone the moment
when surrender becomes inevitable.
In many instances the inherent
strength of the body suffices to enable
it to oppose the tendency toward
Heath. Many however have lost these
forces to such an extent that there is
little or no help. In other cases a
little aid to the weakened Lungs will
make all the difference between sud
den death and many years of useful
life. Upon the first symptoms of a
Cough, Cold or any trouble of the
Throat or Lungs, give that old and
well known remedy--Boschee's Ger
man Syrup, careful trial. 1t will
prove what thousands say oft to be,

A Marrow ESCAPE from Death

Thursday night the three story residence
occupied by Mr.. A. Jellison, near the Old
Orchard camp ground, was burned to the
ground The fire started in the lower story
and Mr.. Jellison and his two children we're
sleeping up stairs, the hour being near mid
night. Before they were aware of it the
lower part of the house was all ablaze and
they found that their retreat was cut off.
The situation was a most frightful and
serious one, and Mr.. Jellison went to
the window to see what could be
done. Fortunately Mr.. Thomas A.
Bowen of this city, who was stopping at Old
Orchard, appeared upon the scence just at
this critical moment With the help of some
women ladder was procured and raised to
the window, and by means of it the ia mily
were rescued just before the flames reached
them. 1t was narrow escape from a hor-
sible death.
The fire caught from the kitchen stove and
the loss on house and furniture is $500; in
sured for $1,000.

BEFonE JUDGE BoNNEY.

FRIDAY-Robert Hughes was arraiened upon
an Indictment for rape upon female child eleven
years OF age, and pleaded not guilty.
Mary Driscol and Jane Wogan were arragn.
ed upon indictments against them for keeping q
liquor nuisance, and each pleaded that she was
not guilty. Jane Wogan gave bail from day to
John Leatherbarrow, indicted for breaking and
entering the store of William DeWolf and larceny
therefrom retracted his plea of not guilty and
pleaded guilty. The county attorney entered a
mol pros as to the allegation Of larceny.
nett The RESPONDENT Is indieted for he larceny
Of horse, carriage and harness, the property of
Enos A. Noyes OF Falmouth, on the 2eth of last
July.
The testimony for the government shows that
Bennett worked for Noyes ten days in haying, and
left there on the morning previous to the loss Of
horse was in continual use by the defendant and
those haying with him. On Saturday morning
they settled with him, paying him 81 and brought
him 10 Portland. That night. the horse carriage
worth $3.50. -Four weeks afterwards the carriage
was found In Gloucester, Mass, and the horse
and harness few miles below. all in the posses-
sion of Bennett
BENEFITS story is, that after leaving Noyes's he
then started on foot for Dover, N. H., Intending
TO go TO Gloucester; that in the evening, between
Berwick and Dover, he met two fellows with the
team, who asked him If he knew where there
were any men who snapped horses that he told
them yes, and inquired what they asked for their
Team; lney did1'I know, and upon his [Bennett'sl
onerlng them $780, to his surprise they accepted
his offer. He paid them the money; they got out
and started on their way foot, while he got into
the carriage and started on his way to Gloucester
He said he did not recognize the horse as belong
ing TO Noyes, or as the one he had been having
with Tor the week or ten days before; had no sus-
piclon OF 1t until the officers arrested him. This
story was SO outrageously improbable that the
jury was out only few minutes, and rendered a
verdict of guilty.

Pine street church.

Rev. H E. Foss proposed week ago to give
three lectures on The Prodigal. The first
was on the prodigal at home. and those who
listened to this discourse were very much
pleased and instructed. The design of these
lectures is more particularly for the benefit
of young men, but they are beneficial to all
classes. Unfortunately for the speaker,
here were but few young people pres
ent. 1t would be an inspiration to him to
have our commodious auditorium filled to its
UTMOST capacity tomorrow evening. If Mr..
Foss makes his word good, and lie doubtless
win, the lecture ON the prodigal in far coun-
try will be much more attractive and lasting
than the other. From what the writer knows
of the young man, he warmly recommends
him to your closest scrutiny as a scholar, an
easy, fluent speaker, and first class preach
er. He came to Pine street as supply and
is doing grandly. Those who are not regular
attendants on other churches are warmly in
vited to seat with us. ID.

Rea, 4 what MRS. Julia Knight of This
CITY, Saws of Or. Smith.

Read VIII at Mrs. Julia Knight says of DIR. Smith,
the magnetic physician. at the United States Ho-
tel, before yos u go to see him. Mrs. julia Knight
who resides AZ No. 234 Bracket ST.. in the city Of
Portland fraet,, red her left hand upwards of ten
years ago. and :, -om that time on had no use OF
it whatever The middle fingers, as well as the
wrist were SO stiff and unyielding that she could
not open and close he hand, and for ten years the
hand remained anti, rely useless. Whenever she
attemnted 10 carr,, dish or anything else in the
hand r. ,yor,a taI, the floor. She also suffered
from, not, a., 49, and back, which was rheu-
ono ,,,ao,, 49, ~. ! Saturday morning she went
To Congrass uan ~ listen to DIR. Smiths lecture
and 70 witness h,s twonderful cures Finally an
onnortnnitv nras sented itself and she went upon
the stage. The Doc'or gave nor ohe magnetic
treatment nd told her to go home that she would
have No IN Ether trouble with the hand. The Doc
tors sta Hement seemed increduous to her for she
had M 0t been able to use the hand for ten years.
She 'weht nome, however, ana sure enough she
could open and close the hand as well as ever. In
order to test the cure to see whether it would be
permanent or notshe took it into her head to do
out the family washing, and to her great Joy and
satisfaction found that she could do it with ease
Another remarkable coincidence took place
which is worthy of note. The pains in her side
and back disappeared and she is now free from
pain, and one of the happiest women in Portland.
Hundreds of cases equally as interesting as this
one are being cured at Congress Hall free of
charge.
DIR. Smith will continue to treat the sick, free of
charge, at Congress Hall, every morning this
week from 10 to IL o'clock, and will give a free
lecture to women at the Hall Thursday evening,
September ID, az O'Clock. He is permanently TO-

AN EXPLANATION.

What is this "nerveth trouble" with which so
many seem now to be afflicted? Ii you will re-
member few years ago the word Malaria was
comparatively unknown,-to day it is as common
as any word in the English language yet this word
covers only the meaning of another word used by
our forefathers in time past. So it is with nervous
diseases, as they and Malaria are intended TO COW
er what our grandfathers called Biliousness, and
all are caused by troubles that arise from dis
eased condition of the Ii yer which in performing
Its functions finding it cannot dispose of the bile
through the ordinary channel is compelled to pass
1t OFF through the system, causing nervous troub
les, Malaria, Bilious Fever, etc. You who are suf-
fering can well appreciate cure. We recommend
Green's August Flower. Its cures are marvellous
