In noble courses ran
Thro' chieftains. mstyrs. patriots
All glorious gentlemen.
Among the sponsors at his birth

That spanned with heavenly light the earth.
His Revolution sire
Laid life and fortune on the die
Cast BY the immortal word,
And on the scroll Of liberty
His name invoked her sword.
And then. in half q hundred years.
Frightening Columbia's fame,
Lustered by Old Virginia.
A modest hero came
And trod thro' glory till its light
lllumined the pathway WON
A highway through the peoples hearts.
That led to Washington.
And when the awful challenge came
Thro' slavery.s oated breath.
And Sumter fell meath shots Of shame.

Crowned freedoms starry height.

Number of Firemen Buried by n Falling
Wall at IL MiIwauke Confla grafton.
MILWAUKEE. WIS.,, March 15-Fire which
started at 1:45 this morning, completely
destroyed the large four-story brick build
ing on West Water street, occupied by
Atkins, Ogden & Co., shoe m anufacturers
and the Thomas & Wentworth Manufac-
turing Company, wholesale dealers and
manufacturers Of brass goods and engine
trimmings. About half an hour after the
fire broke out the north wall of the burning
structure fell with a crash, demolishing q
one-story addition in the rear OF Gimbel
Bros. dry goods establishment and bury
ing number of firemen in the ruins.
Herman Lecher, first pipeman of engine
No. 5, was the. first of the unfortunates
rescued. He died at three a. m. at the Cen
trail fire station The body of John II.
Hunmel, of truck No. 1, was recovered
about two hours later. 1t is feared that
others are buried under the debris, which
is being cleared away rapidly as posi-
Bile. The following is list of the victims
so far as known at present: Herman Lech-
er, first pipeman No. s. dead; John H.
Hummel, taken from the ruins dead; John
CIeary, cab driver, cut very badly about
the head by glass; Jack Dahl, of truck No.
g. hurt about the legs and arms and cut
badly on the head; John Coughlan, Chemi-
Cal No. 2, one leg crushed; Peter Vaughn,
of Chemical No. l, crushed and arms and
legs injured. The losses, as es' mated at
this hour, will not fall much short of $275,-
OOO Atkins Ogden & Co. carried stock
valued somewhere between 100000 and
$l50,OG0. They carried about sS0,000 worth
OF insurance. The Wentworth Manu-
featuring Company estimate their
loss at about $4,000. The building
was owned by John Plankinton, as is also
the store occupied by Gimbel Bros.
The former building is probably q total
loss, as the remaining walls will probably
have to be torn down. The loss on this
building will reach $50, 600, covered by IN
surance. The loss on the store occupied
by Gimbel Bros. will probably not exceed
$4,000, the only damage caused by
falling in OF the small one-story extension
in the rear and the blowing out of the front
plate glass window. Gimbel Bros prob

Worshiping Buddha.

Another way Ito worship Buddha,
IN the temple at Kioto) is to chew the
prayer paper and when soft throw it in
the form of a pellet at the god, through
a wire screen. If it goes through and
sticks on the god, the prayer will be
answered. If it hits on the screen, it
is no good. Some of the gods are

came to me why 1 did that same thing
when boy at school, using another
boy as a god. 1t was the outburst and
overlooking of devotional spirit The
other boy did not always see it in that
light, and sometimes made irreligious
remarks about it, but that was owing

LAND oRAsssRs.

The Secretary of the Interior Makes Some
Recommendations Regarding Oregon
Land Grabbers.
WAsuIxGroN, March 15.-The Secretary
of the Interior yesterday sent to the Presi-
dent for the transm ssion to Congress the
report of Mr. j. b. McName relative to the
land grant, wagon roads in Oregon. lt
, shows thatgrants of land were made by
Congress in 1864 and 1866 to aid in the con-
struction OF these roads as follows: For the
Willamette Valley and Cascade Mountain
military road, extending from Albany TO
Snake river, distance of 40 miles, $40 49J
acres; to the Oregon Cen m litary road,
from Eugene City to the Idaho boundary
line, distance of 40 miles, 500, 400 acres,
and to the Dalles military road, from the
Dalles to old Fort Boise, distance of 357
miles, 6S5, 430 acres, aggregating ZOOS 30
acres. None of these roads were ever
constructed, although the several
Governors of the State certified to their
completion; that Governor Woods certified
to the completion of the Dalies road, when
in fact he had examined but small por-
ton of it, and that the agents appointed by
Governors Grover and May reported the
roads as finished. when, In fact, their con-
struction had not been begun. On these
certificates of the Governors patents were
issued to these companies for 81, 227 acres.
The title to the remainder has not yet
passed to patent. Immediately on secur-
ing the certificates of completion the lands
were sold with the view of putting the
lands in the hands of nominally innocent
purchasers. The ii st named grant is now
claimed by Alexander Wells, the second by
the California q Oregon Land Company, of
San Francisco, the third by the heirs OF
Edward Martin, of San Francisco, and the
Eastern Oregon Land Company, also OF San
Francisco.
With the report tho Secretary submits
draft OF a bill to be presented to Congress,
repeating all Of the granting acts, declar-
ing forfeited all rights and titles claimed
hereunder and restoring to the public do
main all the lands granted, excepting such
as may have been sold to innocent pur-
chasers, who are actual settlers to the ex-
tent OF one sec ion of each of such pur-
chasers. The bill directs the Attorney
General to institute suit to cancel all
patents and certihcations under the acts
with the exceptions stated above.
After setting forth the facts. in his letter
to the President, Secretary Villas concludes
as follows: 1T would seem, therefore, TO
be the fair duty of the Government not
alone toward these citizens who are better
entitled to possess these lands themselves,
but in apprehension and redress of a gross
imputation and fraud, to dispossess by
Judicial inquiry and just action these
fraudulent possessors."

STORM NOTES.

Great Eastern Storm.

Continued Reports of Suffering From the
Great Eastern Storm.
NEW HAVEN, Conn, March 15-The
steamer Elm City brings word of the ter
rible suffering and loss of life on the
Sound. The great snow has severed all
connections between Connecticut and the
me tropolis for the past forty-eight hour.
Reports have been coming in of terrible
suffering throughout the State and espe-
cially on the coast Many lives have been
lost by accident and exposure to the storm.
Snow has been falling almost constantly
since Sunday morning.
The steamer New Haven, of the Colony
line, left her dock in this city at three
o'clock a. m. on Monday bound for New
York, soon after meeting the storm which
ragged so furiousiy that the captain was
compelled to beach her, and the passengers
got ashore, where for tifty-sIx hours they
suffered terribly from cold and starvation.
CHICAGO, March ia special dispatch
from Boston via London says the snow has
now ragged necessarily for two days all
over New England as far as scanty COM
munications could reach. Never before
was there such a complete prostration of
business and the damage TO property must
amount to an enormous sum. II is fifty
years since Boston has been so affected by

The Eunereal Month of March.

An obse-vant metropolitan barber says
that he can tell ones physical condition ny

The Bible tells US that with his hair gone
Samson lost his strength The Romans
considered badness serious affection and
julius Cesar was never quite satisfied with
himself because his poll was bare.
The face, however, is the open book and
one can readily trace in its various express
sions, lines, changes and complexion the
state OF the system
The eye that Is unusually bright and yet
has a pallid brightness, the face upon
whose cheeks nature paints q rose of sin
gular beauty and flush, more marked in con-
trast with the alabaster appearance of the
forehead and nose and lower part of the
face, is one OF those whom the skilled ply

Is then that consumption reapS its richest
harvest. Consumption they tell US is caused
by this, that and the other thing, by mi
crobes in the air, by heterogeneous in
the blood, by deficient nutrition, by thou
sand and one things, but whatever the cause,
decay begins with cough and the remedy
that will effectually stop the cause,of that
cough cures the disease of the lungs.
That is all there is of it.
The cough is an evidence of q wasting.
To stop it effectually, q remedy must be
used that will search out the cause, re-
move that and then heal the lung and do
away with the cough. This is the power,
special to itself, possessed alone by War
ner's Log Cabin Cough and Consumption
remedy. This is no new-fangled notion Of
narcotics and poisons, but an old-fash-
Toned preparation Of balsams, roots and
herbs, such as was used by our ancestors
many years ago, the formula of which has
been secured exclusively by the present
manufacturers at great trouble and expense.
1t is not mere cold dryer. 1t is system
searcher and upbuilder and g consumption
expellant. Where others fail, it wins, be-
cause it gets at the constitutional cause and
removes it from the system.
j. w. Hensaw of Greensboro, Pa, on Jan.
Is, 1888, reported that "he had derived
more real benefit for the length of time,
from Warmers Log Cabin Cough and Con-
sumption remedy than he had for years
from the best state physicians"
Ii you have a cough, night sweats, "posi-
tive assurance In your own mind that
you, oh-you, have no consumption, "
and yet lose flesh, appetite, courage, as
your lungs waste away. you may know that
soon the funereal month of March will
claim you, unless promptly and faithfully
you use the article named. If other rem
edies have failed try this one thoroughly.
If others are offered, insist the more on
trying this unequaled preparation.
Some persons are prone to consumption
and they should never allow the disease to
become seated.

hill got down to walk Reaching the top
of the hill he attempted to get back on the
load. when he lost his hold and fell at the
heels OF the horses. The team was fright
ened, and before the unfortunate man could
recover from his perilous position they
were dashing along at breakneck speed.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.
Reforms Advocated by a Committee OF the
New York LEGISLATURE.

Reforms Advocated by Committee OF the
New York Legislature.
The report made to the Legislature
of New York by Mr.. EIbridge T. Gerry
and number of other gentlemen, in
relation to the proposed execution of
criminals by electricity, contains a
number of interesting facts In their
report they maintain that the effort to
prevent the increase of crime by the
indiscrininate application of capital
punishment to various Offenses involv-
ing different grades of moral turpitude,
or. in other words, by increasing the
list of offenses to which capital punish
ment is made applicable. has proveda
failure; that any undue or peculiar Sc
verify in the mode of inflicting the
death penalty neither operates to pre-
vent the occurrence of the offense nor
to produce a deterrent effect; that from
the long catalogue of various methods
punishment adopted by various nations
at different times only five are now prac-
tically resorted to by the civilized world.
Accompanying the report is long list
of the different modes of capital punish
ment practiced in different countries.
In Austria, Holland, Portugal, Russia,
England and America the gallows is
used; in Bavaria. Belgium. Denmark.
France, Hanover and Saxony. the gull
lotine; in Brunswick, thexe; in China. a
Italy and Prussia, the sword; in Ecua-
dor and Oldenburg. the musket; in
Spain, the garrote; and in Switzerland.
in fifteen cantons the sword is used.
and in four cantons the guillotine. In
ninety per cent. of these countries the
executions are public. The democrat
izing effect of such exhibitions can not
be estimated. The AIM of these gentle
men is not only to have electricity in
troduced for the present mode, but to
have laws passed SO that where Grim
inal is to be executed none but the of
fcers of the law shall be present.
