A SUNDAY STABBING AFFRAY.
Whisky aud Bad Blood Come To-
gether in a Salem Saloon.

Yesterday evening as The law
loving inhabitants of Saiem we1e
returning from the evening service
aC the different churches, Bill H;att
stood drenched with his own blood
at the Capital saloon. By ordinance
the saloons are supposed to be closed
on the day of rest, but by some
means last night party Of Salem
ties had managed to cOngregate AZ
the Capital saloon on Commercial
street. Among the gay assemblage
were Bill Hiatt, the drayman, and
Frank Gorman, a cOlOred man.
They were shaking dice for the
drinks, when a quarrel arose between
German ard "Old jeff" the bar
tender, over the payment of some
drinks. Hiatt wanted to stop the
quarrel and pulled German away,
offering to pay the bill himself and
avoid any = able. (ThIs is Hiatt's
stOry.) At this German sprang at
him with al open pocket knife and
stabbed him on the neck on the left
side-barely missing the jugular
vein-anG clso severing an artery
near the left temple. Hiatt was
bandaged up, at 1r losing several
buckets full of blood, aud taken
home. FL j. not seriously injured,
although a gaping wound about four
inches long : laments his neck.

Capture wild Man.

Sheriff Harlocker Of Coos county
rrived in the city yesterday with
d. Hart, the "wild man" who had
drifted from Eastern Oregon down
into Coos county and created great
excitement in the ncighborhood OF
Empire City.
Hart became insane about three
weeks ago, left the place where he
was working, and was not seen
again for several days. Some hum
ters discovered him in the woods
near Empire City, wandering
around nearly nude singing, shout
ing and gesticulating in demoni-
ac manner. Soon after he made his
appearance at several farm houses,
where he demanded food of the
frightened women and children.
Sheriff Harlocker organized a party
and started out to search for this
strange being. He found him a few
miles from Empire City. He was
captured without difficulty and

THE HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING.
Is it Heated Sufficiently? What the
Directors Think.

Considerable complaint having
been made of late regarding the in
suficiency of the heat furnished at
the East Salem school building, the
directors decided that a thorough in
vestigation had best be made, and a
report submitted upon the true state
of affairs.
Ever since cool weather set in the
scholars who attended this school
have complained that they were un-
able to study or do satisfactory work
on account Of the low temperature
of the room. 1t is of course the first
duty of parents to guard the health
of their children. They are to seek
and remove the causes which work
i'll effects. AS so great a portion of
the days of youth are spent within
the walls of the school room it is of
the greatest Importance that ali
should then be temperate and well
ventilated. The he;, Cn of the young
must not De impc red by the negli-
gence OF school Oo,.rds. This morn
ing a JOURNAL scribe hunted up
several members of the board of
education and learned where the
fault really lies. At present the
hea, e's in uce are only on trial. BY
a provision Of the contract under
which these hot air furnaces We're
placed in the building, it was under-
stood that they would not be ac-
repted until after fair and complete
trial and it had been demonstrated
chat they were adequate TO keep the
build 'ug at uniform temperature
during all iimec. The first year the
building was incomplete and the
furnaces kept the rooms which were
occupied as warm as desired. But
last winter during the coolest
weather, even when fed to their
fLll capacity it was demonstrated
that the fufnaC'e could not hest all
of the rooms thoroughly.
Mr.. Crawford, the contractor, was
so informed and ssid it would re-
uu;re additional irtnaces-then he
thought they could furnish the re-
quired heat. Additional registers
are 70 be placed in The building, ac-
cording TO suggestion and the stipu-
lGtion OF The 9. eemelt.
If, ATE, Gnothe t.ial, satisfactory
rloul,9 are not then obtYined, other

pie will on,e more have en- oppor-
tunity of deciding whether or no

ELECTRIC FORCE.
The Great Fundamental Force Of the
Universe As Applied to the Sick.

One of the Drs. Dar,in, the fam
Gus Portland physicians, is in the
city with headquarters at the Che
mekete and is prepariugto lay siege
to the great enemy Of life and death
disease. Their power of re
storing health to humanity is
acknowledged. Electricity or cleo
tro-magnetism, is the agency thro'
which they work.
Experiments by scientists are con-
stantly and surely proving electric
ity to be the great motor power OF
creation. Electricity is the most
powerful chemical agent, as well as
the basis of chemical action, 1t is
the primal element of light and heat
the promoter of life and the sustain
er of health.
Disease yields readily to its mag
netic touch, and even unrelenting
death is averted by its presence.
Thousands of afflicted and suffering
bear witness to it's healing power.
The electro-ma, ,uetic as practiced by
the Drs. Dsi-iI has revolutionized
the practice Of medicioe, asis shown
by the testimonials which they have
received throughout the coast and
wherever they have p'acticed.
Old practices are giving away to
the new customs are changing
and nowhere is this more noticeable
than in the practice of medicine.
Science is working by ca use and eff
feet. Times are changing. New
things are upon us, while the old
are fast disappearing.
Behold one Of the greatest martyrs
to the cause Of science. See Calico in
the gloomy dungeon of the Inquisitlon
because he invented an instrument that
unfolded tn the view of the astronomer

and Independent of our own spheres
| Space would fail 10 show the vast numbers
of theories that were once deadly opposed,
but are now acknowledged facts, even
among savans. And why this hostility
anols all classes to the inception Of the
good and the tr le2 1t is because they do
not obey the injunction, "Prove all things,
and hold fast to that which IS good. 4"
These reflections are suggested by the
presence of DIS. Darrin inssSa!em. They
relieve the sick by process that is op.
posed by those who know not the won.
derful effects. As the disturbance of the
vital fires is the source Of diseases, they by
some mysterious power restore The equi-
librium, and thereby impart health. All
show their appreciation of their valuable
services by fiockirg in crowds to their
rooms. Over 100 visit their Portland
rooms daily for treatment. The trophies
Of their success are seen not only in the
greatiul voice Of those benefited, but by
the many crutches in their room, left by
those who have been cured. What can
tine opposers OF the mode OF practice say
tu such beneficent results? How is any
thing tested but by its efects1 Are not
the innumerable cases that have been seen
in Europe or America OF relief and cure
proofs positive of the superiority of the
doctors mode of treatment! They pre-
tend togive relief only IN durable cases.
Stubborn facts present an array Cf argu-
meut sufficient to convince all who are
disposed to know the truth.
